Basically KHC saying he supports Bogyum and says there's nothing wrong with "boiru".As the controversy surrounding his comments grew, he posted an apology on his Instagram on February 13. He said:“Regardless of whether or not my thoughts are right or wrong, I apologize for having spoken roughly and using crude expressions, as well as for acting hypocritically.”Despite apologizing, Heechul added his opinion towards the end of the apology:“I apologize the most to the fans who have been hurt because of the issue I have caused. With this as the last one, I will make sure not to get involved in any other issue in the future. But no matter how I try to look back on it, I don’t think I was wrong in cursing that specific site as well as school violence. Thank you.”While Heechul’s livestream comments ignited a negative response, the apology seemed to have more supporters, albeit still having criticisms. The internet was divided into two parts as some defended the idol while others pointed out the issues with it.Take a look at some of the reactions below:Shadow the Hedgehog kinnie@Iove4evaIm not sure about hara but u are right heechul tried sueing activists who spoke up for sulli after her passing, he got angry that “they made it about feminism” when sulli bravely called herself a feminist on tv & actively went against the standards of the k industry. twitter.com/aesongie_24/st…𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐲 - 𝒊𝒂 🌙☁@aesongie_24im not gonna try to defend heechul but if i remember correctly, that online feminism community was the same org that heechul sued because of their comments abt sulli and hara. they always make him look bad so i kinda get where the anger came from.1204214im not gonna try to defend heechul but if i remember correctly, that online feminism community was the same org that heechul sued because of their comments abt sulli and hara. they always make him look bad so i kinda get where the anger came from.Im not sure about hara but u are right heechul tried sueing activists who spoke up for sulli after her passing, he got angry that “they made it about feminism” when sulli bravely called herself a feminist on tv & actively went against the standards of the k industry. twitter.com/aesongie_24/st…fi |♡︎teukchul♡︎슞@fiddabongkim heechul rarely do a public apology post bcs we know how he is but he knows this time he fcked up a lot and his fans were hurt as well so yeah here you go676170kim heechul rarely do a public apology post bcs we know how he is 😂 but he knows this time he fcked up a lot and his fans were hurt as well so yeah here you go https://t.co/ErMXAx62Onᴾʳᵒᵒᶠ𖤐Shelly⁷ ᴮᴱ⟭⟬ ⟬⟭ 💜🧈🧨🫰🏻🫶🏻@ShellyV13@fiddabong Yeah he apologized but then says I don’t think I did anything wrong by using those words 26@fiddabong Yeah he apologized but then says I don’t think I did anything wrong by using those words 😂😂😂kura kura@gayfacemomoheechul is a nasty man and a predator like let's not pretend anymore218832236heechul is a nasty man and a predator like let's not pretend anymoreanee⁷@keyuphoria@magicxfadegirl twitter.com/tvlovd/status/…this ://also he apparently he followed a channel that blamed the nth room victimszzz@tvlovdThere's so many ppl who'd like to know the context, so I'll try my best to explain why knetz are angry with KHC.
