Article: Swings makes official apology over 'video controversy "A result of my ignorance on current events"

Source: TV Report via Naver

Said the video was a spontaneous thing they did for fun and claimed the scene was inspired by the noir movie genre and is a highly cliche scene that can be seen in any noir movie. Blamed his ignorance on current events for not recognizing that it could be seen in relation to the recent ISIS terrors and apologized for the misunderstanding it brought about.


1. [+1,332, -181] Just don't bother coming out again. Had you tried this overseas, there'd be a gun to your head already.

2. [+1,266, -165] Just admit, "I was stupid and I'm sorry"

3. [+1,023, -107] Where else would that stupid head of yours be

4. [+894, -78] Well I hope he brushes up on his current events then

5. [+598, -27] I never saw the IS video either but Swings' video is distasteful even without relation to it. It's vulgar to think that a clip of someone slaughtering another human being is funny in any way.

1. [+275, -14] How does he not watch the news often enough to not know about the IS terror? Rappers are known for their criticism of society... they've been criticizing it all along without even watching the news?

2. [+267, -17] Fatty tryhard

3. [+206, -7] They say the dumbest are the bravest;;

ice, this guy...
but to netizen - no point on calling him a fattie, dig deeper to his character fail.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

totally agree re: your last point

[phililen3.livejournal.com]

A decent person would not need current event cues to know that that shit was just a big no no. Hell, a decent person wouldn't have even considered acting out something like that, let alone film it and put it up online...

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

'ignorant' certainly is an accurate word to describe this asshole, he's right about that much

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

"sorry I'm an ignorant fool with not human decency"

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Atleast he's self aware enough to know he's ignorant.

But what Noir is he talking about?? As a fan of Film Noir, it's not really all that recognisable to me.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

I wondered about that. I'm not a fan of Noir (not that I've ever tried to be tho), so my knowledge of it is limited, but hearing that excuse def didn't make me go "Oh now I get it!"

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

The only thing I can think of is maybe Double Indemnity but that's a stretch and a half. I think he's lying to cover his ass.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

I think so too.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

double indemnity is flawwwwless omg 💚💚💚💚

[fiercediva.livejournal.com]

They probably don't mean classic film noir, but gangster/drug films of the last 20 years, or war films.

Edit: yup, they claim to be re-enacting a scene from crime thriller/hero vs. druglord film "Ajeossi", a.k.a. "The Man From Nowhere" (2010).

[kittyboo17.livejournal.com]

this is just stupid in whatever context you could put it, making a parody of a crime thinking that it will be funny is already foolishly ignorant

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

N judging you

[torontok.livejournal.com]

He should just delete his sns and go hide in a mountain somewhere.

I think I'll add 'swings' to my vocabulary as a synonym for 'douchebag'.

And where exactly OS are you referring to...cuz????

IA w/ #5 - ignorance of current events doesn't make the video any less gross.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

REALLY.

"As you can see in the video I linked above, C Jamm is re-enacting a scene from the movie “The Man From Nowhere” with the same script. This scene was also made with the intentions of using a “noir” theme. To be honest, when we were first uploading these clips to our Facebook and Instagram accounts, we were going to title them “Gapyeong Noir”. However, our friends thought the caption was too tacky and told us to just caption it as “At Gapyeong”. If I had known beforehand that a few words could cause so much commotion, I would have gone with our original title."

idk never seen any noir movie like that maybe I'm just ignorant about the genre

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

*Interesting* that Swings gets all the heat like Giriboy wasn't in the same video...

sorry if this seems emotional

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

as someone who is from the region where ISIS is active, this is deeply offensive... there are people who are dying everyday, people being displaced, people so scared they cant even sleep or eat properly... how can some people be so heartless and not think of the victims that are suffering because of ISIS...
he TRULY is ignorant ...

Re: sorry if this seems emotional

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

oh bb you're not being overly emotional at all ❤️

[lovelyxbeauty.livejournal.com]

i really wish he would just go away, go live in the country or the mountains.

What an idiotic moron.

[purpleglaceon]

I honestly had no idea about the ISIS terrorist (?) but I still wouldn't make the kind of video because why the fuck would I do that. I feel like he's trying way too fucking hard.

YOU'RE A DOUCHE BAG, STOP TRYING TO USE PRETTY WORDS TO COVER IT UP.

(If I'm not wrong I think he's the one 'mentoring' or whatever VIXX Ravi ? I think I saw that on 4 things. This honestly scares me.)
