Article: VIXX's official apology "It was our mistake wearing that hat"

Source: OSEN via Nate

"We would like to apologize for causing concern with the problematic hat that the VIXX members wore on the 14th episode of VIXX TV. The VIXX members have always aimed to show a comfortable and honest image of themselves to their fans through the weekly YouTube show and it was a mistake born out of that same intent. JellyFish Entertainment takes responsibility for not recognizing the problem in the editing and production process. We promise to make sure that this does not happen again. We would like to apologize once more for concerning everyone who loves VIXX with this matter."

1. [+558, -104] But who are they??? I really have no clue ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+373, -44] VIXX TV from 'last year'...? This is 100% noise marketing.. Not only does nobody watch this show, but why would they bring up a year old episode now...

3. [+442, -200] I think it was completely a mistake because if you see the video, they're playing around and joking with different hats inside a store. At least they acknowledged their mistake and apologized. Just don't cause another controversy like this again. As a fan, my heart broke into a thousand pieces before I put it back together again.

4. [+289, -60] So are they stupid or are they just trying to get attention

5. [+302, -98] At least they apologized... be careful in the future.

6. [+218, -53] Japan's at fault for even selling that hat

7. [+156, -21] Instead of staying shut about it, it's better to just come out and apologize as fast as possible like this. I don't know who these rookies are but I'm sure they aren't dumb enough to knowingly put on a hat like that ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+73, -14] Why is it that no one cared when the actual episode was released but now it's all the buzz since it's time for their album comeback ^^

1. [+661, -51] I don't even know who these kids are~ What do you expect out of kids who can't read Chinese characters anyway?

2. [+570, -52] This is my first time hearing about their comeback let alone this group... How bad are they at marketing themselves...

3. [+472, -49] Sigh... stupid fangirls, instead of buying kids like them gifts, buy something nice for your parents tsk tsk

4. [+38, -5] It's not the dumb kids that are the problem but the education system for not teaching these kids properly. This is why Korean history needs to be a required course.

5. [+25, -7] Stupidity makes you brave... Another reason why Korean history should be a required course. Kids like them just prove they have rocks for brains. Pathetic that they still have fans shielding them.

Article: Ken's thoughtless statement "If our fans move to another group, I'll hit them on the head..."

1. [+717, -110] He has a can (ken) for brains, you piece of tin can

2. [+629, -94] These nugus are asking for it

3. [+463, -90] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ No comments... They media play with this and there are still no comments... Here, I'll pretend I care.

4. [+81, -32] Journalist, please write an article after you've understood the situation. This is not a TV show but a self camera on YouTube that the members record and upload once a week called VIXX TV. When Ken said that, he didn't mean it in a threatening way, he meant it as a joke. Fans just laughed it off and called him cute... is there a reason that you are calling him out like this? Well, thanks for taking your time to view all of their videos and showing your interest ^^*

5. [+80, -10] I don't know who they are but it sounds like a joke to me

6. [+76, -16] People should view the video before hating. He was joking, you could tell from his facial expression and tone of voice. Ken always jokes around with his fans like that.

7. [+67, -12] I'm leaving a comment as an upset VIXX fan... Journalist, don't you think this is going too far? He didn't mean it at all in the way you're making it sound. He loves joking around and it seems he's being misunderstood just because he isn't popular. This article is too biased.
