4minute’s Gayoon apologizes for her questionable photo

Embroiled in a controversy over a picture her 4minute groupmate uploaded which showed Gayoon throwing up the middle finger, Gayoon apologized through 4minute’s official fancafe on January 16th.

She wrote:

“I’d like to deeply apologize for causing our 4nias and others to worry. Jiyoon and I are so close that I did the act as a joke and without thought. I never meant for it to be disrespectful.

I always hope to show a respectful side to myself, but I feel that I wasn’t cautious enough with each of my actions.

I will make sure to listen to all of the severe criticisms against me, and prevent something like this from happening again in the future.


Once again, I would like to genuinely apologize.“

After the picture was uploaded, Jiyoon quickly clarified, “That picture was uploaded as a mistake, how do I delete it?“ The picture was promptly deleted after fans taught her how.
