On September 10, rapper Owen took to Instagram, where he posted his apology to Simon Dominic.

This follows from his previous criticism towards Simon D on September 9, where the rapper posted an Instagram story to express his frustration towards his senior’s decision to donate 100 million won (~$72,552 USD) to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association, as opposed to supporting his younger brothers in the Korean hip-hop scene.

His apology goes as follows:

“From last night to today, I have been thinking deeply about myself, and I have listened to the concerns of all the people around me who have helped me.

I've also been reflecting a lot about my way of thinking and speaking.

I apologize to Simon D-hyung, who, because of me, must have felt awful for doing a positive deed with good intentions.

And I sincerely apologize for hurting many people's feelings as my personal complaints were expressed in a way that dissed Simon D-hyung, who was doing a good deed of donating to help the flood victims.

I know that I am inferior to others in this area, but I can't fix it well. I will try harder.

As a means of reflection, I will stop my social media activities for the time being and take time for self-reflection.

During this period of self-isolation, I want to think about how I can help colleagues who I think need help in my own way.

I realized something while listening to all the stories of those who criticized me, those who gave me affectionate advice and advice, and those who supported me, so I donated a small amount to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association.

Aside from hip-hop, I apologize for the illegal actions and inappropriate words and actions for which I have not given a sincere apology for. I think I have been thinking that my way was more important than this influence.

I only thought it was a problem I had to deal with because it was my fault. Through this incident, I also want to apologize to those who I have disappointed with past events.

I apologize once again to those who may have felt negative emotions during the Chuseok holiday because of my negative feelings, words, and actions.

Thanks for reading.”
