Source Music<\/strong> released an official apology after the controversy over the statue. On February<\/strong> 1<\/strong>, the agency began writing on social media,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe would like to deeply apologize for the controversy that was generated from the photos Sowon uploaded and the video behind GFRIEND’s VCR\u2018 Comeback Show”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>\n \n

The agency went on to explain that the filming location was a cafe that they rented through an outsourcing<\/strong> production company; and the agency staff not only took behind-the-scenes<\/strong> videos, but also took photos for members to use on social media. However, during the on-site inspection process, the department<\/strong> in charge was not aware of the problem with the mannequin’s clothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe apologize for not being able to verify in advance that there were inappropriate props at the filming site; We were not able to thoroughly inspect the content during the filming and uploading process, and we did not pay much attention to the historical and social facts.<\/p>\n

We bow our heads and apologize to those who have been uncomfortable with these videos and photos.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>\n \n

the agency continued.<\/p>\n

In response to the controversy, Source Music<\/strong> removed the problematic part of the video and Sowon removed the photos. According to the agency, the idol was very surprised when she realized the controversy<\/strong> behind the photos. She felt deeply responsible and apologized for posting them.<\/p>\n
