Host Under Fire For Allegedly Making A Sexual Joke Toward LE SSERAFIM
The remark has sparked widespread criticism aimed at the actor. As the controversy grew, Wayne Huang took to his Instagram to address the allegations. In a post, the actor apologized but insisted that he meant he wanted to “Insert himself” into the fried sweet potato balls.
I received a lot of messages and comments. Thank you, everyone, for the warning and advice. I have things to say regarding what happened on stage today.This is what happened. For that segment, the members were supposed to have a taste of the food one by one. Yunjin was going to eat a fried sweet potato ball by inserting the bamboo skewer stick into it. So, by instinct, I wanted to react to it so that this process wouldn’t be filled with silence. Then, I said something that caused a misunderstanding. What I wanted to convey was, “It’s great to be able to share food with an idol one likes.”I absolutely did not mean anything else. I would like to apologize to viewers who felt uncomfortable after hearing what was said. I should pay more attention to the details and usage of certain words and sentences. This is where I was lacking. I’m very sorry.I prepared for the hosting of this show very diligently. I absolutely did not want to cause any discomfort for anyone. I hope everyone can believe. I absolutely, totally did not mean it that way. I’m thankful for everyone’s criticism and advice. I’ll certainly pay more attention to the words I use going forward. Once again, I sincerely apologize.
