Singer and producer Tank (Ahn Jin-woong) apologized for mentioning the deceased’s real name through an additional video while revealing that he had suffered labor exploitation and verbal abuse by Gil (Kil Sung-jun), a former group member of Leessang.
Tank said on his YouTube channel on the 19th,’I apologize for the blame. However, an additional 22-minute video was posted under the title,’It’s all true.’
In the video, Tank said, “Many people told me that it was’wrong’ about various parts. I thought about it, but all of you are right. So I would like to apologize through this video.” Revealed.
He continued, “I used them to support what I wanted to convey, even though they chose to take a break for those who died instead of the deceased. Looking back, I was very excited at the time of the video, and that’s why “I haven’t learned whether it was a part that I should have conveyed using a pseudonym other than my real name, or whether it was a part that I should not have touched at all. I want to apologize for that part. I’m sorry.”
Along with this, Tank said, “Secondly, I did something wrong a hundred times with regard to talking about other people’s real names and private life. I wanted to gather a little more facts so that no one could ever come back again. I was very angry. So I did something that shouldn’t be done. I’m sorry.”
He also said, “Someone said,’You’re so stupid. If I only talked about things related to you, the world would have been on your side, but I usedlessly mixed different things and made the world turn around.’ said.
Tank said, “First of all, I had a greater desire to relieve my resentment than to realize justice by putting all the facts I saw and experienced in the video. And I wanted to get revenge. I was angry.” The profound feelings that I didn’t get a penny while working for him, not talking logically about those things, but focused on shaping him by conveying all the things I saw and heard. I apologize for that. I apologize.”
He also explained the reason for blocking the comment window of the first exposure video.
Tank said, “After the video was posted, there were so many contacts, and there were a lot of comments rebuking me, so I first thought to take a video by deleting the post and organizing it.” I’m thinking of two.”
“They keep asking for evidence, but the evidence I have is the very long conversations with his manager at that time. There are three or four files that last an hour and a half. In those calls, the manager directly mentioned his real name. At that time, my side keeps asking,’Why should I turn it over?’ At that time, I also argued that I have the content of the e-mail, and said, “But I do not intend to disclose it. If I take responsibility, I will take responsibility. If I have to go to the court and pay a fine, I have to be judged by the law, and on the contrary, if he says he has to pay me the back wages, I can get it.”
Tank explained that he did not publish his name and posted a revelation to make money.
He said, “It’s hard for me to specify, so many people said,’I’ve uploaded a video like that to try to attract a little bit of aggro and increase popularity? I eat and live. I keep writing songs. I admit that my songs are not popular, but I don’t need more money because other singers are writing songs for them.”
Also, as for the reason for the release of the first exposure video on the 18th, “It is a bit cumbersome to edit and re-post the video that has already been uploaded, and there is a system for editing in YouTube, but I am not sure how to deal with it. I got off because you pointed this out.”
Along with this, “And as you see there are a lot of things you’re curious about, I’m sorry that I couldn’t answer each of those parts. I’m sorry if you say,’If it’s true, prove it. You have the right to know.’ I have no intention of doing it. I will do it when the moment when I have to prove it.”
There was also a story about the’privacy exposure’ that some people criticized.
Tank said, “Why are you talking about one night, but if you do this, you can’t help but talk about the deceased. I’m sorry, but I’ll tell you this story. The woman he met at the time really loved him. I felt it. It was just like a roar. By the way, I went to the (man’s) house, and I, him, and the deceased woman were drinking alcohol, but there was lipstick on the glass. So I really wanted to talk about that part. But I was surprised to be able to do that because everyone said it was a private life,” he added.
He then asked, “Is it forgivable for my girlfriend, who was talking about getting married until she came to her house to clean it up, slamming the door of the recording studio and saying’Ah xx it’s noisy xx’?” I was very surprised to see you rebuked me for talking about my real name. I am sorry that it was a very wrong part to mention my real name, but there were a lot of people who rebuked me for telling this story.”
Finally, the tank said, “The video I uploaded was meaningful in accusing someone, but I was so angry that the stories of third parties were mixed up. However, it was not an irrelevant story at all, it was a real story. Especially, the last one I mentioned. “It was a real thing for you to write it upside down”, claiming, “What he was afraid of at the time was when he made a comeback as a judge on another audition program after’Show Me the Money’, the original author of Kim Heung-guk’s’Swallowtail Butterfly’ Because Lee Shin threatened me with a threat saying’I will sue’, regardless of whether or not I was sued, once the article was released, I was hitting it, so I tried to cover it up against me in a situation where I was already morally degraded. It wasn’t,” he explained about the situation at the time.
He said, “There are a lot of issues that haven’t been addressed yet, so I wanted to tell you more, but I couldn’t ignore my real name. And to prove it, I had to find the manager at that time. “But I made so many mistakes in the midst of my excitement. I’m really sorry. The video I uploaded later was edited for the part where the deceased was remarked and the third party people who mentioned the real name. If I can learn what to do and can do it, I will upload it again. Thank you.”
On the other hand, on the 17th, the tank posted on his YouTube channel’Drinking driving 3 times / misogyny / manager assault / one night / blackmail / labor exploitation / verbal violence / criminals. You are still being deceived!’ He said that a producer who had worked with him in the past engaged in assault on a manager, dating four women at the same time, misogynistic behavior, and exploitation of labor. He overturned the allegations of plagiarism of’The Swallowtail Butterfly’, which was a contest for’Show Me the Money 5′. He even claimed to have been threatened.
In particular, the contents of the exposure of the tank contained the context of the subject’s rant against the late Oh In-hye, and the ripples increased.
In response, Gil side refuted, saying, “The content of the YouTube video uploaded by the tank is not true,” and “we are preparing a position announcement and legal action against this.”
