Yoon Jong Shin's apology"While it is the style of RadioStar, the guests' feelings come first.^^ I think their tears were their truthful answers.
But we just continued to joke around as usual. If there's anyone who should be getting hate shouldn't it be us who ragged them on&on?
Not everyone can smile & give witty answers. They had a hard time overcoming those issues. My fault for being too aggressive. Sorry^^"
Seungyeon's apology"I keep on thinking how to express my heavy heart all day long but now i will write it..first, i want to say our deepest apology to those who uncomfortable with our appearance as a guest on radio star episode yesterday.
We will deeply reflect on how we showed you our unprofessional attitude. To the Radio Star MC seniors and also JYP senior who helped us and taking care of us during the filming and even after the broadcast, we are really sorry and very thankful.
We will become Seungyeon, Hara, Jiyoung who will show you our brighter self and our hard working self."
DSP Media Apologizes Too
KARA stole the show on the September 4th broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star' with their sensitive responses to the touchy topics of dating and so forth, and the girls as well as their agency came forward to apologize.
DSP Media stated, "KARA made a comeback but it seemed like only her [Hara] dating rumors received attention so [Hara] was noticeably sad. She was embarrassed by the talk about her dating rumors... We shouldn't show that kind of image during broadcast and it wasn't a good way of behaving. Hara also told us that she sincerely apologized afterwards."
Seungyeon tweeted, "I was thinking about how to express my feelings all day long and I finally leave this post.. First off, through yesterday's broadcast of 'Radio Star' which we featured as guests on, we deeply apologize to the viewers who felt uncomfortable."
"We will deeply reflect on the aspects of our behavior that weren't professional. While filming and after the broadcast, we are really sorry and thankful to the 'Radio Star' MCs as well as J.Y. Park sunbaenim who helped and took care of us. We will become a Seungyeon, Hara, and Jiyoung who show a more brighter and hard-working image from now on."
Jiyoung also shared on Instagram, "As I grew up, there are lessons that I learned that I sometimes forget and some lessons that are always useful. I learned that their is no correct answer in the process of overcoming one's obstacles and choosing between two paths. Every time I receive pain from those who touch my emotional wounds, that is when I know that I lost my self-control. I don't want to live by following the intentions of the people who try to hurt me."
