I can handle a lot, so I’d like if it you didn’t see those things, which would upset you. The reason I do this work is because I have ONCE, who love me and warmly embrace me. I do all of this because I sincerely wish for our happiness. Me singing, performing, and communicating with ONCE is because I want both myself and ONCE to be happy. Reading what they said as well as what ONCE said, I felt it was right that I explain my own actions, so here I am writing this. Because of, the TWICE members also posted explanations. Because of that, I’m so sorry about letting my emotions get the best of me while speaking yesterday. What makes me the most apologetic is that I know that our team and ONCE are really confused right now. Yesterday as well, I was completely sincere. ONCE has never not been important to me, and I’ve never not been concerned about ONCE. No matter what has happened, I’ve never been insincere in front of ONCE. I just wanted to explain why I ended up expressing my feelings in a negative way towards someone yesterday. I’m not complaining so that you’ll pity me, and I’m not asking for attention. That’s what it was like leading up to MAMA.

It really hurt, and it made me really mad, but because there is the work that I’ve done, because I have my job and my fans, I left it alone. I didn’t want people to worry, so I returned at a different time than the rest of the TWICE members.ĭuring all of this, no, ever since I debuted, I have seen countless negative comments about me, ridiculing me, and cursing at me. That made even breathing hard for me.īecause of that, when returning to Korea, I was worried that I would cry again, or that people would see me having a hard time. In that state, I had to go to MAMA and face so many more people than were at our performance, and I had to speak and perform. Some time passed, our Japan tour started, and starting from our performance in Japan right before MAMA, being in places with a lot of people became so, so hard.Īll throughout our performance on December 3, I cried from fear and wanted to hide. Because of that, my anxiety, feelings of depression, fear, and all kinds of negative emotions became so overwhelming that being in front of people, saying just one thing, or performing was scary and hard.Įven during our tour, the feelings of fear were so strong that I went to the hospital for a consultation and received prescription medicine, but none of it helped much. In August, my private life became known, and after that, there were a lot of false rumors as well. The reason I cried at the airport was also because all the people taking photos/filming and yelling made me feel a lot of fear, and I was so scared about what those people thought of me and how they saw me. Thinking that ONCE may have been hurt and disappointed yesterday from the V App chat, I’m sorry.Īfter there were completely unfounded rumors about me in March last year, I became more scared about being in front of people. In a letter to ONCE, posted on TWICE’s official fan cafe, Jihyo apologized for what she said and explained that she has been having a hard time since early last year. Rapper San E also used the phrase as the title of a diss track.

It has since been adapted by radical feminists in Korea as a term for belittling men. Oong-aeng-oong is part of a Korean expression that first started on Twitter when a user was saying that something in a film was unintelligible, or sounded like nonsense. I just couldn’t do anything about not feeling well.”

You must have been having fun because there was something to pick on, but I’m sorry. The comment was in response to a question about why she was absent at times during the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards, and her choice of words ( oong-aeng-oong, specifically) elicited criticism from some netizens.ĭuring the chat, she said, “I’m saying this because attention seekers keep ( oong-aeng-oong), but I wasn’t feeling well. On the morning of January 7 KST, TWICE’s Jihyo posted a letter to ONCE explaining her recent comment during a V Live chat.
