BIG Naughty apologized for leaving a performance to kiss his girlfriend.

As previously reported, BIG Naughty left his performance at the 'Tone & Music Festival' on June 4 for about 30 seconds, and he was spotted kissing someone backstage. That someone was later alleged to be his girlfriend, and the artist faced criticism for his unprofessional behavior. 

After apologizing live, BIG Naughty has now released an official apology letter on Instagram. He wrote as follows:

"Hello, this is BIG Naughty.

I'm lifting this pen with a heavy heart to speak on the past incident at the Tone & Music Festival.

Firstly, I apologize for delivering such disappointment to my fans who support me and my music without receiving anything in return.

Furthermore, I sincerely apologize for turning the precious time and grateful efforts of the audiences, who came to watch the performance, into wasted time because of my personal and immature behavior.

To explain the situation, I was singing an unreleased song that I prepared for the encore, and I left the stage during the bridge part due to my childish thoughts and short thinking. I made the audience and those who faced this situation as well as concert and stage personnels uncomfortable with my careless attitude on stage and actions. I sincerely apologize.

Through this incident, I will reflect and consider once again how much of a blessing and grateful thing it is to be able to stand on stage as well as make and sing music. Please criticize me so that I can mature to be a better person, to make better music, and with greater love. I am always grateful, and I apologize."
