A few hours ago, ZEROBASEONE<\/strong>‘s Park Gun-wook<\/strong> spoke out amid the draw manipulation controversy, issuing an apology to all the fans affected and disappointed by his unethical conduct.<\/p>\n

During a recent fan signing event, the K-pop idol was captured on video manipulating the results of a Polaroid giveaway lottery<\/strong>, announcing a different winning number from the number that he actually drew during the lottery.<\/p>\n

As a result, Park Gun Wook received much criticism for changing the results at his discretion and accusations of trying to give the prize to a specific fan on social networks. For that reason, in the early hours of June 5th KST, he responded to the controversy with an apology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this message, the singer apologized for his controversial actions, admitted his mistake and lack of good judgment, and acknowledged having caused disappointment<\/strong> to his fans.<\/p>\n

\n

“I should have exercised more caution and better judgment at the time before acting, but I failed to do so. As a result, I caused many people hurt and confusion: a fact that I am taking very seriously. I would like to sincerely apologize to those who felt confused or hurt because of my shortcomings.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>\n \n

In addition, the ZEROBASEONE member assured that he did not take the incident lightly and committed to reflecting on his actions<\/strong> and acting more carefully in the future, as well as directly apologized to his group and team members.<\/p>\n

\n

“I would also like to apologize to the other ZEROBASEONE members and the staff who work hard together with us.<\/p>\n

In the future, I will act more carefully, and I will reflect with all my heart [on this incident] and grow so that I can become a person who is worthy of the trust that ZEROSE have given me.<\/p>\n

Once again, I am truly sorry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
