Stray Kids’ Felix Had to Publicly Apologize After Mentioning a Japanese Song on Korea’s National Liberation Day
This Thursday, 15th, Felixfrom Stray Kids, had to publicly apologize after mentioning a Japanese song on Korean Liberation Day. Through the Bubble platform, while interacting with some fans, he said he would do a challenge involving a Japanese animation, which generated several criticisms, saying that the topic was inappropriate to talk about during the date.
The holiday in question celebrates Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule following the Allied victory in World War II. This historic event occurred shortly after the war ended in 1945, marking the country’s independence.
Check out the translation of the official apology from Felix below:
Hello, this is Felix.
First of all, I would like to apologize to all the fans and anyone who may have been disappointed in me due to my careless behavior.
Earlier on August 15th, while interacting with fans in an online community, I mentioned a Japanese song while discussing a challenge (short video for social media).
I sincerely apologize for my lack of consideration and care for such a significant day as the Korean National Liberation Day.
I am reflecting deeply on my lack of historical knowledge. I will strive to educate myself better in the areas where I failed, think more carefully, and act more cautiously to ensure this does not happen again.
I apologize again.”
