Hyosung had previous apologized about a week ago because of her word mishap on a radio program, but On May 20, she spoke up and apologized once again on her Twitter.

She wrote, "Hello, it's SECRET's Hyosung. I'm so sorry for causing everyone concern because of my rash words recently. I'm sorry that this is late. It's obvious that I should apologize, and I thought I didn't have the right to even make any excuses, so I wasn't going to explain myself, but I am writing again because I believe it's only right to properly apologize again. 

I'm not at all related to the site that everyone is worried about. I just wanted to communicate with fans often, and I was curious about many fans' thoughts, so while I was monitoring the internet, I often saw words that read, "democratizing by Hyosung'. I didn't know the meaning very well, and I thought it meant something positive, like suggesting something I like to others. I didn't know it was being used negatively on a site until after all this happened. 

I'm deeply reflecting on carelessly and using the word 'democratization' in the wrong sense, forgetting that I am someone who could have an effect on other people. I want to apologize sincerely to the families [of those lost in the 5.18 movement] who were hurt from my rash words. I know well that we're able to smile like this because of their sacrifice. I am sincerely sorry. I'm going to study and work harder to become more mature. Once again, I apologize to the fans I worried."
