However, some people felt bad so he was really sorry." According to Taehyun, "I wasn't angry at that time. I want the fans to feel comfortable to me so I used informal speech. I am really sorry for that. I was thoughtless.

I also thought of members for causing this and I thought I have to apologize quickly. I want to do the ment like that of a friend joking to my fans whom I like but suddenly it became a debate so I feel ashamed."

He added, "Now that even WINNER's too much friendly approach could cause debate like this, I will be more careful in the future."
