Because of her statement, former JYP Entertainment trainee's Kim Eun Suh later became controversial until she issued an apology.
Trainees who also had time to participate in survival programs such as "SIXTEEN" and "Idol School" were found writing comments on the video of Jeon Somi while covering the song "Gashina’ by Sunmi which later became a controversy through her personal Facebook account.
In her commentary, Kim Eun Suh wrote, "For the first time, I realized that Sunmi was a good singer." Her comments clearly target both Sunmi and Jeon Somi by indirectly claiming that the two singers have been seen as not good at singing.
After many criticisms which then led to her, the former JYP trainee later wrote an apology for the controversy that was caused while giving clarification.
"Hello, this is Kim Eun Suh.
I realized what was happening through the catch of my screen was sent through DM, and I also saw posts in the community. I wrote late because I had to check everything.
I want to say that the account that made the comment is not the account that I use myself. My friends created a side account to use with me because I came to Seoul as a trainee participant, and could not contact anyone who did not have a telephone number. I use that account sometimes to send messages to some friends who live at home.
My friends are not trainees, but they cannot use SNS accounts for personal reasons so they change names in accounts or use images on my Instagram.
I think the problematic comments were written not by me, but by a friend when the account had my name and photo. I know very well that there are many people who don't know me, but I'm broadcasting, so I know I have to be careful, and making such comments in a public place is like suicide.
After talking with my friends, we decided to delete the problem account. I will no longer use Facebook or Messenger, and I will be more careful and contemplate making sure things like this don't happen again.
That is a situation where it is easily misinterpreted, and it's my fault for not being able to prevent things like this from happening. I want to apologize to Sunmi-sunbaenim, Jeon So Mi, who trained with me, and everyone who was hurt by what happened.
I'm sorry. " (www.onkpop.com)
