ZEROBASEONE’s Park Gun Wook Apologizes For Polaroid Lottery Controversy
ZEROBASEONE’s Park Gun Wook has personally apologised for the controversy surrounding his actions at a fan signing event.
Park Gun Wook recently faced criticism for allegedly manipulating the results of a Polaroid giveaway lottery at a fan signing event. Based on video footage recorded by fans at the event, the idol came under suspicion for announcing a different winning number from the one he actually drew during the lottery. This led some to accuse Park Gun Wook of changing the results at his discretion and attempting to award the prize to a particular fan.
In the early hours of the morning on June 5 KST, Park Gun Wook addressed the growing controversy by sharing the following apology:
This is ZEROBASEONE’s Park Gun Wook.
I’m writing this message because I want to sincerely apologise for my actions at a recent fan signing event.
I should have exercised more caution and better judgement at the time before acting, but I failed to do so. As a result, I caused many people hurt and confusion: a fact that I am taking very seriously. I would like to sincerely apologise to those who felt confused or hurt because of my shortcomings.
Although I have always considered the love sent by our fans to be precious, I am sorry for failing to live up to that love. I am not taking this incident lightly, and I will sincerely reflect on [my mistakes].
Once again, I apologise for disappointing the ZEROSE [ZEROBASEONE’s fans] who supported and believed in us during our promotions for this album. I would also like to apologise to the other ZEROBASEONE members and the staff who work hard alongside us.
In the future, I will act more carefully, and I will reflect with all my heart [on this incident] and grow so that I can become a person who is worthy of the trust that ZEROSE have given me.
Once again, I am truly sorry.
