Singer BoA revealed that she apologized to comedian Park Na-rae, who was the target of a slip of the tongue during a drunk live session with Jeon Hyun-moo, but arguments among netizens are ongoing.
BoA apologized on the official fan community Weverse on the 7th, saying, "I apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable due to my careless words and immature behavior shown during the SNS live on the 5th."
In particular, BoA made the mistake of saying, "He is a waste" in response to a netizen's question about the dating rumors between Jeon Hyun-moo and Park Na-rae during the live broadcast. Regarding this, BoA said, "I expressed my apologies to Ms. Park Na-rae for mentioning something inappropriate in a situation where the parties are not present, and I appreciate your understanding."
She added, "I feel sorry to the fans who have sent love and support to me for a long time, as I have disappointed them," and promised, "I will reflect on myself once again through this incident and strive to show a mature image without forgetting the weight that each word and action carries in the future."
Previously, on the afternoon of the 5th, BoA conducted a live broadcast with Jeon Hyun-moo. This was also Jeon Hyun-moo's first SNS live broadcast. Jeon Hyun-moo said BoA came over to his house to do the broadcast together.
However, during the broadcast, their behavior crossed the line, causing controversy. BoA casually engaged in skinship by leaning her face on Jeon Hyun-moo's shoulder and made remarks that surprised fans as she seemed intoxicated.
Above all, a netizen asked Jeon Hyun-moo, "Are you really dating Park Na-rae?" When Jeon Hyun-moo mentioned this question, BoA replied, "I don't think they are dating. He's a waste," and continued with candid remarks, saying, "That's disgusting."
Ultimately, fans expressed their concerns over their behavior crossing the line, and Jeon Hyun-moo reassured fans, saying, "BoA is being told to shut up. Those who are worried are fans," and added, "But the important thing is that both of you are not drunk. They really aren't drunk; they are just pretending to be, so don't worry."
However, the mention of Park Na-rae's name drew backlash from netizens, and BoA directly apologized to Park Na-rae. Nevertheless, the aftermath of the apology remains intense. Netizens continue to debate BoA's apology.
In response to BoA's apology, some netizens expressed, "I’m disappointed," "How could you mention a real name? Park Na-rae is a bigger person," "Though you apologized, you revealed your character, which is disappointing," and "I hope you don't make such mistakes in the future."
On the other hand, other netizens reacted, saying, "Isn't it possible to make mistakes when drinking?" "Isn't it enough to have apologized?" "It's not like they committed a crime; what more do you want after an apology?" "Since you've apologized, let's move on now," and "Isn't the key point that you apologized to the person involved?"
