Recently, fans of Jannabi have been complaining that former member Yoo Young hyung has been working with Jannabi.
After learning that she had worked as a staff member for "Jannabi" after leaving the group in 2019, she posted a statement of protest.
Indeed, fans protested, and Jannabi was silent. It was revealed that Yoo Young had worked as a sound engineer for Jannabi for five years.
Jannabi issued a belated apology. Jannabi said, "Yoo Young hyung is currently a sound engineer and is involved in live performances and band rendezvous.
We are cooperating. From the beginning, there was no intention to hide or conceal this matter, but there was an ongoing matter related to Yoo Young hyung's past issues, and that was resolved.
"I was planning to explain in detail after the fact," he said, adding that legal action would be taken if false information were spread. Fans were angry and rebellious about the apology, and Jannabi's side issued two apologies.
The Jannabi side issued an apology, stating, "Peponi.music has decided not to continue with the request for audio support from Yoo Young hyung.
"The process of communicating with fans about this matter was not appropriate. Furthermore, we have disappointed many fans with our poor judgment and inadequate response."
Choi Jeong-hoon apologized, saying, "I would like to apologize for inviting him as a staff member through improper procedures," but he also apologized for the suspicion that he participated in the songwriting of "Jannabi."
However, it was a disappointing response to fans. Jannabi acknowledged the fact that they had worked with Yoo Young, and responded to some of the posts that were protesting.
Previously, in May 2019, Jannabi admitted to bullying Yoo Young and forced him to leave the fan cafe.
A statement from i-D said, "We directly confirmed the facts with Yoo Young regarding the bullying incident, and he admitted to his mistake. He is currently deeply regretting and reflecting on his mistake, and is taking full responsibility and resuming his activities."
I have decided to withdraw from Jannabi and take some time to self-isolate," he said, adding that he sincerely apologized and would take some time off.
However, unlike the apology, it was revealed that she had worked as a staff member for "Jannabi" and it was only a little late.
Everyone was angry about the inadequate response to the fans, including the fact that the group apologized for the inconvenience caused. "Jannabi" is being looked at coldly.
