[talk] Eunseok, you have recently been involved in a controversy. That is unfortunate.

Eunseok recently shared an update while conveying a sincere apology for his careless remarks. On the 5th, in celebration of Children's Day, Eunseok shared a photo of himself from his childhood with deeply tanned skin while interacting with fans. However, he received criticism for using the word "kkamdungi" (a derogatory term for a dark-skinned person), which could be interpreted as a derogatory expression targeting a specific race.

Eunseok deleted the post immediately upon realizing his mistake and bowed his head once again the following day through a fan communication platform. He expressed his sincere apologies to those who were hurt by his thoughtless actions and inappropriate choice of words. He explained that although he had already deleted the post, he felt heavy-hearted thinking about those who might have felt uncomfortable, so he decided to repost it. He added a pledge to think and act much more carefully in the future.

Anyone can make mistakes, but I can feel Eunseok's responsible attitude in the way he quickly admitted his fault and sincerely apologized. Fans are also sending warm encouragement and advice, hoping that this incident will serve as an opportunity for him to grow into a more mature artist. However, I think he should have been more careful with remarks like this.
