He said, "There are scandals that arise even when they didn't do anything wrong. It's okay if it's a scandal cause they didn't do anything wrong. I would handle it honorably. However, I don't just brush off the scandals for something that they actually did wrong. I think that would be really bad. Aside from the entertainment industry, I wish things like that wouldn't happen in society. 

Sneakily brushing things off doesn't match my style. I also want to be a singer for 20 more years and there will be times when I'll make mistakes. And when I do, I don't want to quietly let it blow over, but I think I would make an apology."

Meanwhile, 'SIXTEEN' is a reality show featuring 7 girls who are about to debut as a girl group and 9 trainees who are fighting for their place. The first episode is set to air on May 5.
