Girl group girlfriend Sowon posted a picture taken with a mannequin wearing a military uniform reminiscent of the German Nazis, and was engulfed in controversy, and the agency officially apologized.
On the afternoon of the 1st, the agency Source Music said, “We deeply apologize for causing controversy with the behind-the-scenes video of our artist’s girlfriend’s comeback show VCR and the photo uploaded by member Sowon.”
Source Music said, “We apologize for not being able to confirm in advance that there are inappropriate props on the shooting site, not being able to thoroughly inspect the content during the shooting and uploading process, and not paying close attention to historical facts and social issues. I apologize, bowing my head, to those who felt uncomfortable with videos and photos.
“The problematic part of the related video has been revised now. The artist himself recognized the meaning of the picture, and was very surprised and immediately deleted the picture, and he felt deeply responsible for uploading such a picture, and it hurts. Source Music put together a position saying, “We will keep in mind that the contents we produce and share affect many people, and we will pay more attention to social issues in the future.”
In addition, the controversy intensified as it became known that the location where the photo was taken is the location of the behind-the-scenes video of the girlfriend’s comeback show, and the video featuring the controversial mannequin is also posted on the girlfriend’s official YouTube channel.
The problematic part of the related video has been corrected, and Sowon immediately deleted the post.
