South Korean rapper, BIG Naughty, opens up about his latest controversy of leaving his stage mid-performance to kiss his alleged girlfriend backstage

On June 4, 2023, the rapper's video surfaced where he was kissing his alleged girlfriend after taking time out from his performance at the Tone & Music Festival that was held at the Olympic Park, Seoul, Korea.

While many fans defended the rapper, expressing that it's expected of a 20-year-old to have a girlfriend, what fans majorly debated about was his lack of professionalism.

Many expressed that it was both disrespectful and unfair to the audience who'd come to watch BIG Naughty perform when the idol left mid-performance to kiss his alleged girlfriend. Regardless, many others supported that there was nothing wrong with the rapper's actions.

However, soon after the video became a heated topic of discussion, the rapper took to his Instagram to reveal his handwritten apology letter to fans.

To clear the air further, BIG Naughty expanded about the same during his interview with HeyNews' announcer, Kang Ji-young. Given that the rapper went off-stage during the special performance of his then-unreleased track, Vancouver 2, he elaborated on the part the song played in his actions.

"It was a song that I had completed making just the day before the performance. While performing, I became so immersed in the emotions that I had while making the song. It was never planned. It just happened naturally as I drew the picture of a cool stage performance. It was a rash act that I did without thinking. I again apologize."

After BIG Naughty's confession, the HeyNews announcer, Kang Ji-young, couldn't help but inquire if his recently released single, Vancouver 2, was about his alleged girlfriend.

"Is the main character of your performance song 'Vancouver 2' the girl involved in your controversy?"

To the same, BIG Naughty boldly replied saying that it was true and his alleged girlfriend stands as his inspiration for the song. However, the rapper still refrained from going into details about whether it was his girlfriend or not.

Regardless, fans have grown to be much more at ease with his controversy while sympathizing with the reason behind his actions.
