Nana, a renowned singer and actress, has spoken out regarding her recent comment directed at THE BOYZ member Sunwoo, who has been embroiled in a controversy over his behavior.
On the 13th, Nana took to a fan communication platform to express her thoughts, stating, "I didn't intend for my comment to become an article, but it seems the situation has escalated more than I expected."
She continued, "I didn't mean to label him as a certain type of person. However, his behavior appeared very disrespectful, and it was quite a shocking scene for me personally. I felt that his words and actions were inappropriate, which is why I left a comment expressing that he 'needs to be scolded.'"
Nana elaborated, "He shouted 'my earphones' loudly after dropping them and didn't move a step, just staring at the spot a few steps away. Was he expecting someone to pick them up for him? Was he unable to pick them up himself? Did he expect someone older or a 'bodyguard' to act as his hands and feet? Or was he telling the item he dropped to come to him? That's how I interpreted the scene."
Nevertheless, Nana acknowledged, "Of course, I could have misinterpreted the situation. Anyone can be misunderstood in certain situations." She added, "I watched the video multiple times. I don't know who he is, but if someone acted like that next to me, I would have said the same thing: 'He needs to be scolded.' I might have even added, 'Where did you learn to behave like that?'" She concluded her message with a laughing emoji.
Netizens who read her post responded positively, saying, "She spoke the truth," "Nana is truly admirable," and "She's not only great at her job but also has an impressive mindset."
Previously, a video titled 'Idol Shouts and Panicked Bodyguard' was uploaded to an online community. The video showed Sunwoo dropping his AirPods while getting into an elevator after a schedule, shouting "My AirPods!" and a bodyguard picking them up for him. The fact that Sunwoo received them with one hand without expressing gratitude sparked a debate over his attitude.
Following this, Nana commented on the video, "He needs to be scolded," and when some netizens criticized her for judging based on a short clip, she replied, "You can tell a lot from one thing," further fueling the discussion.Nana's full statement on the fan communication platform.
It seems people are talking about my comment, and I was surprised to see negative comments and demands for an apology on my social media. I didn't write the comment to become an article, but it seems the situation has grown unexpectedly.
Judging a person based on a short video isn't right, but I didn't label or judge him as a person. His behavior seemed very disrespectful, and it was quite a shocking video for me.
I felt that his actions and words were inappropriate, which is why I expressed my feelings by saying 'He needs to be scolded.'
He loudly declared 'my AirPods' while looking at the spot a few steps away and didn't move. Who was he expecting to pick them up? Was he unable to move? Perhaps he expected someone older or a bodyguard to act as his hands and feet? Or was he telling the item he dropped to come to him? That's not how I saw the video. But I could have been wrong. Anyone can be misunderstood in certain situations.
So I watched the video again and again. I don't know who he is, but if someone like that was next to me, I would have said the same thing: 'He needs to be scolded.' I might have even added, 'Where did you learn to behave like that?'^^
