The staff of 'Match Up: Block B Returns' has issued a statement in attempts to clear up some misunderstandings about Block B's recent words on the episode that aired on the 8th.

On their reality show, Block B was asked about girl groups' bare faces, and if there was someone they couldn't recognize without makeup. Jaehyo told Taeil, "There's that person you always talk about." In reply, Taeil gave a name which was beeped out and said, "She's really ugly." He then turned to the camera as if to say it directly to the individual, and remarked, "You're a con artist."

However, he then added, "This definitely can't go out on broadcast." Playing around, Zico and Jaehyo laughed and said, "Just beep it out instead of editing this out. He's too much."

With the boys already having been at the center of controversy earlier this year for their behavior and attitude during the Thailand interview, the "she's really ugly" statement once again riled up netizens who criticized the group.

With criticisms streaming in, the staff of the show stepped forward and tried to clear up some misunderstandings. They issued a statement on their official mini homepage with the title "We Are Sorry".

They stated, "Taeil's answer about the girl groups' bare faces question was actually meant towards the the maknae writer of the show, who showed her bare face during the previous week's MT trip."

"As the members and the staff are so close, the staff mentioned the maknae writer's nickname, and in the process of quickly editing, it seemed as if a girl group member's real name was mentioned. On that point, we apologize... At the set, there was no mention of any girl group names and it's a misunderstanding that was created due to the editing process," they said.
