On June 21, NCT’s Renjun uploaded an apology to his Instagram. The idol is receiving major backlash after he mistakenly exposed a phone number of a person who he alleged was a Sasaeng.
In his apology, the idol apologized to the victim of his rash behavior.
I would like to apologize to the person who was affected by my foolish behavior. I’ve always wanted to give good energy through my music and performances, but I think my judgment was clouded, and I think I made a mistake. To the person who was affected by my behavior, I am so sincerely sorry. The victim is receiving damage because of my behavior. Please stop calling them. I am reflecting on my actions, and I’ll be careful not to do this again. I would like to apologize to everyone who was hurt by my actions.
— Renjun
Despite the idol’s intentions, his apology has done little to calm the backlash. Many criticized the idol’s apology as half-hearted, with many pointing out the fact that Renjun did not admit that the victim was not a Sasaeng.

- “You should apologize with more sincerity and pay for the damages you’ve caused… You should have said that the person was not a Sasaeng, that you had made a mistake, and that the person was a victim. Can’t believe there are some fans defending this guy.”
- “You should say that the person isn’t a Sasaeng. I’ve seen some horrible things about the victim.”
- “The victim should be the one who decides whether he has been criticized enough.”
- “Looking at the comments in his Instagram, I am at a loss for words.”
- “I can’t believe there are people telling him that he doesn’t need to apologize.”
- “You should have said that he wasn’t a Sasaeng. You missed the most important part.”
- “If you had apologized before the backlash, it would have been better. Now it seems like you’re apologizing because you have to.”
