Recently, WINNER's Nam Tae Hyun got embroiled in controversy after his behavior during 'GS&Concert 2014' on November 22 was deemed rude. After finishing a song, the leader Kang Seung Yoon was greeting the fans when Nam Tae Hyun shouted informally, "He's speaking!" This caused a portion to throw criticism at him for his informal speech, so he made an apology.
On November 24, Nam Tae Hyun spoke through his agency, YG Entertainment, to TV Report in an exclusive, "I apologize for the situation during the concert last Saturday. At the time on stage, the situation called for comfortably speaking with the fans while joking around. However, if the people who heard were put in a bad mood, I truly apologize. At the time, it was not a situation for me to get angry. It's just that I spoke informally to my fans so that they could feel close to me, and that became a problem. I am really sorry for that. I was shortsighted. Through this incident, I came to realize how much one thing I say, just one thing, could be so important. I will pay attention to this from now on."
The agency stated, "Honestly, Nam Tae Hyun is just one of the members who speak in a friendly way whenever he meets fans on site. As his words on broadcasts don't often get disclosed, the fans are disappointed, so he actively converses through fan meetings or concerts. However, we believe people who are not aware of these situations have come to a misunderstanding. We think he will now be exceptionally careful from hereon so nothing like this happens again."
