After apologizing for the fact of the bullying on campus, all ads for Hwang Hyun-chen, a member of the boy band Stray Kids, were interrupted.
According to a Report by South Korean Media on March 9, according to relevant sources in the advertising industry, the school uniform brand IVY CLUB deleted all promotional materials on the official website and SNS about Hwang Hyun-chen, a member of the boy band Stray Kids. Korean entertainment did not know that cosmetics brand CLIO also completely interrupted advertisements related to Hwang Hyun-chen.
The CLIO said that "after consultation with the agency (JYP Entertainment), it was decided to continue the modeling activity in the form of the 7 members of the boy band Stray Kids (except Hwang Hyun-chen). ”
Last month, A, a netizen who claimed to be a classmate of Hwang Hyun-chen Middle School, posted a revealing article through an online community (in South Korea), saying that he had been inexplicably subjected to violence in Hwang-hyun-chen's language and other aspects for unknown reasons when he was a student. In addition, A also said that "after Huang Xuanchen's debut, every time she appeared on the TV show, my ears would still ring again those unjustified accusations and ridicule, and it was precisely because of this that I realized that I still had not been able to get rid of that memory, and finally failed to get free." ”
After the controversy surrounding the suspicion of "Hwang Hyun-chen's school violence" intensified, Hwang-hyun-chen issued an apology, saying that "I think back to my lack of cognition at the beginning, I feel ashamed and irrefutable." It's late, but I would appreciate it if I could go directly to and apologize to the people I've hurt, or ask for forgiveness via email. ”
Subsequently, Hwang Hyun-chen's agency JYP Entertainment also said that "as an artist, Hwang Hyun-chen decided to interrupt all activities and conduct self-reflection, and will do his best to restore the mood of the injured." ”
After the facts of "Hwang Hyun-chen's school violence" were confirmed, Hwang Hyun-chen got off the MBC music program "Music Center" and did not have the opportunity to participate in the Mnet variety show "Kingdom" scheduled for April.
