“Hello, this is Jungkook.
It weighs heavily on my heart to write this after seeing you all again after such a long time.
I sincerely apologize for the disappointment and discomfort caused by the phrase written on the cap I wore during today’s rehearsal.
I deeply regret that I failed to properly recognize the historical and political significance of the phrase before wearing it. I fully acknowledge my lack of awareness and care that has led to disappointment and hurt.
I am very truly sorry.
There is no excuse [for my action] despite whatever reason. It was my fault and I was careless. From now on, I will think deeply about every decision and act more carefully.
I humbly accept all the criticism and concerns regarding my mistake.
I’ve discarded the cap immediately.
Once again, I would like to deeply apologize.”
