“Hello, this is Sunwoo of THE BOYZ.
I apologize for the delay in writing this. I’ve been reflecting on how to truly express my honest thoughts and feelings, and I was worried that I might write something that doesn’t come from the heart.
First of all, I believe many of you must be feeling exhausted. I’ve been reflecting over and over again on my words and mistakes.
Because of my personal thoughts and words that lacked rationality, the intention behind what I wanted to convey became distorted. Even though I had no such intentions at all, I failed to be mindful of my words and actions, which led those who heard me to feel hurt by what I said and did while I was overwhelmed by emotion. For that, I sincerely apologize.
I want to make it clear this is absolutely not a message written just to move past this situation. From the beginning, I lacked the maturity to respond properly. And in trying to defend myself from the pain caused by harsh criticism, I ended up hurting many others with my words and behavior.
I don’t want to simply ask for forgiveness, nor am I saying that I was misunderstood. If anyone perceived me in a certain way, then I must acknowledge that perhaps I truly was that kind of person to them. What I need to do now is prove—to both you and myself—that I am not that person, that I am someone who truly values people, relationships, and hearts. Even if it takes time, I will show you this.
Finally, this message is my sincere apology to those who criticized me for my mistakes and immaturity, to those who may have felt hurt and uncomfortable because of my actions, and to everyone around me who continues to show me love. I hope this letter conveys my heart without any misunderstanding.
Once again, I deeply apologize to everyone who was hurt and made uncomfortable because of my immature response.
And to THE Bs who have given me their love—I’m truly sorry.
With sincerity,
Sunwoo” CR: Soompi
안녕하세요, 더보이즈 선우입니다.
어떻게 하면 제 솔직한 생각과 심정이 제대로 묻어나올까, 혹여나 스스로 진심이 아닌데 글을 적고 있지는 않나, 고민하고 생각하다가 글이 많이 늦어진 점 죄송합니다.
우선 많이 지치셨을 거라고 생각합니다. 제 언행과 불찰에 대해 끊임없이 되돌아보고 또…

1. This apology was well written… I hope he’s more careful going forward
2. He says he’s sorry but he should know that he crossed the line this time
3. If he apologized like this from the start, nobody would’ve cared and let the issue pass. What a shame. Seriously, it’s funny how people with the worst personalities are the ones preaching about idols’ character… Worry about your own lives. Unless it’s about a criminal, stop justifying hate comments
4. The way his company dealt with this was a shame… his company should be managing him and coaching him. It’s so regrettable how they dealt with it at first
5. He wrote the apology well
6. Let’s stop now, it’s not like he was a criminal
7. They could’ve just said that it was his private life at first. He went through all that hate and got his past dragged into this for nothing. Now, the public’s opinion about him turned for the worse, it seems like it’s too late to start managing him
8. That timing….
9. He apologized so as long as he shows a mannerly attitude from now on, it will do. And Nana should sue his fans who left hate comments towards her too
10. He should’ve apologized earlier. Why did he say all those things on that paid communication app then? His fans are gang-bullying a celebrity. Sigh
