VIXX's Ravi And Jellyfish Entertainment Apologize For Controversial Scenes In "BOMB" MV

VIXX’s Ravi has released an official apology for the controversy surrounding his recent music video.

The singer took to Twitter on January 9 to state, “Hello. This is Ravi. I have become aware that there are controversies surrounding the music video for my title track ‘BOMB,’ in which certain scenes are said to have contained misogyny and the objectification of women.”

안녕하세요. 라비입니다. 제 타이틀곡 'BOMB' 뮤직비디오 속 특정 장면에서 여성 혐오 및 상품화에 대한 논란이 있음을 확인하였습니다. 여러분들께 불편함을 드릴 수 있는 부분을 인지하지 못한 제 자신을 반성 하며 불편함을 느끼신 모든 분들과 팬분들께

He continued to add, “I regret not realizing these scenes would cause discomfort, and I sincerely apologize to all of my fans and everyone who felt uncomfortable [watching the music video]. I will be more careful from now on, and will continue to work hard to create good music and performances. I’m sorry.”

진심으로 사과드립니다. 앞으로 더 주의하여 더 좋은 음악과 무대를 만들기위해 노력하고 고민하겠습니다. 죄송합니다.

Jellyfish Entertainment also released an official statement on VIXX’s official fan café, reiterating what Ravi had written in his apology.

They also stated, “Jellyfish Entertainment takes full responsibility for not being more prudent in creating our content, and causing many fans great discomfort. We will continue to work harder and listen to the public’s advice and concerns more carefully.”

The agency has since taken down the original music video. The video was re-released on January 9 after removing the controversial scenes.
