'Street Man Fighter' dancer Park Hyunse apologizes for allegedly mocking NewJeans' choreography

AKP STAFF

'Street Man Fighter' dancer Park Hyunse apologized for allegedly mocking NewJeans' choreography.

Park Hyunse, a dancer from Mnet's 'Street Man Fighter' and a crew member of YGX as well as Loyal Chumps, received criticism for allegedly mocking NewJean's choreography for "Hype Boy", and later went onto delete the Instagram video titled "NewJeanddas' debut fail," combining the Korean slang word for outcast "jjindda" and the girl group's name.

The dancer has now released a formal apology, saying he didn't mean to mock NewJeans of their choreography. He stated: 

"I filmed NewJeans' 'Hype Boy' challenge in a playful way. I then had an overly sensitive reaction to the comments, so I made a thoughtless decision responding in a wrong way. I'm ashamed about this situation, having caused damage and hurt to people through my personal actions. 

I had no intention to mock NewJeans, the choreographer of 'Hype Boy' or anyone else related in the uploaded video. I'd also like to say the 'NewJeanddas' in the video's title was referring to the 4 of us and not anyone else. I sincerely apologize to NewJeans and the choreographer, whose feelings must've been hurt by this video as well as NewJeans' fans and anyone else who watched the video and frowned.

I also truly apologize to the YGX members, who've suffered damages due to my thoughtless behavior, YGX's fans, all those involved in 'Street Man Fighter', and all of the dancers. From now on, I'll remain sincerely aware of the fact my pe rsonal affairs do not affect me alone but others as well. I'll be careful to prevent this kind of incident from happening in the future. I'm sorry."

Loyalty and Pride anyone? Disrespecting a fellow choreographer (male) and dancers (who happen to be female) and thinking it's funny. Yup. Great example of loyalty and pride there. I don't know how this show is going to get off the ground with this much garbage involved with it.
