Days after becoming embroiled in a controversy, VERIVERY’s Minchan has apologized once again, this time during the the group's third debut anniversary live broadcast. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostOn January 6, 2022, the VERIVERY member received a lot of criticism after making inappropriate comments about the looks of a female idol on a different live broadcast.VERIVERY's Minchan first apologized on TwitterWhile sharing a story from his middle school days, the K-Pop idol had spoken about a female transfer student who came to his school. This student was allegedly the member of a girl group. Minchan said the encounter "cracked my fantasies about celebrities" because the "person didn't exactly have visuals that stood out." Following these comments, the singer was called out by several of his fans who found the comments unsavory and rude.Not long after the live, the lead vocalist took to social media to swiftly apologize for his statements, saying:"Hello. This is Minchan. I would like to apologize to everyone who felt discomfort due to my comments on 'V Live' during the broadcast on January 6. To ensure that the same issue does not happen again, I will be cautious in my speech and approach my work seriously. I also intend to apologize in person to the individual addressed. I am deeply reflecting on my poor actions and speech, and once again deliver my apologies to everyone."VERIVERY@by_verivery안녕하세요. 민찬입니다. 6일 브이앱에서 저의 언행으로 불편함을 느끼신 모든 분들께 진심으로 사과 드립니다. 앞으로 똑같은 일이 발생하지 않도록 언행에 있어서 주의하고 모든 일에 진중하게 행동하는 민찬이 되겠습니다.11:20 AM · Jan 8, 202229822126안녕하세요. 민찬입니다. 6일 브이앱에서 저의 언행으로 불편함을 느끼신 모든 분들께 진심으로 사과 드립니다. 앞으로 똑같은 일이 발생하지 않도록 언행에 있어서 주의하고 모든 일에 진중하게 행동하는 민찬이 되겠습니다.Not satisfied with the written apology, however, the singer has now also chosen to apologize while on live broadcast.Minchan also apologized during the group's third debut anniversary live broadcastOn January 9, VERIVERY hosted their third debut anniversary live broadcast.
