threshold Lee Jung-woo shared a video of BTS's comeback performance at Gwanghwamun on social media and posted, "A leader who speaks English and kids who still can't speak English even after 10 years. Still, I love them all."
controversy Criticism has been raised in some online communities that it may have disparaged a specific member.
Explanation Lee explained that she wrote the post while laughing after seeing what the members mentioned cheerfully during a live broadcast. She emphasized that she has supported them for 10 years as a fan and has no reason to criticize them. She also added that she is not in a position to evaluate their English skills and that the post was written out of support for their long-awaited comeback.
Additional context Mr. Lee Jung-woo, a retired private citizen, stated that he is “just one of 8.48 billion people” and expressed his frustration that it is difficult to freely engage in fan activities because he is the family member of a celebrity.

Anyway, apologize cleanly.

Never stir up such controversy or try to attract attention again.

팬이 많이 있으니 잡음도 같이 있을 거라는 생각이 듭니다

그러게 말이에요. 아무리 오래 살아도 영어 못할 수 있는데 그건 너무 심한 말인 거 같아요.

그냥 애정이 담긴 말 같아요. 팬심으로 한 말인데 당황 하셨겠네요.

유명인분들도 우리 애들을 아끼나 봐요. 다들 예쁜 마음으로만 봐주셨으면 좋겠어요!

말을 해도 저렇게 하면 안 되죠
 비꼬는 듯이 들립니다 
자기는 얼마나 다른 사람들을 알고 있는 건가요 
마치 속을 들여다 보듯이 말하는데
 자기 자신이 허상인 걸 먼저 깨달아야죠
