The official apology posted on Stray Kids Instagram account:
"Hello, this is Bang Chan from Stray Kids. I apologize for the offense caused by the comments I made during a recent live broadcast. I thought about the impact my words and behavior can have on others, and have deeply reflected on myself. I would like to mention that it was not my intention to specify a certain artist, and that my comments had nothing to do with the artist being mentioned currently."
Bang Chan's apology has garnered a variety of responses. Many commended him for owning up and writing a sincere apology, while a few people felt that the apology wasn't sufficient.
The comments shouldn't have been seen as controversial in the first places. He didn't name names, he was talking about how things historically are, and even said it might be just things changing.
Absolutely ridiculous reactions by netizens AGAIN. But it does say something interesting that a certain fandom ASSUMED he was talking about their group.
