Hara also told us that she sincerely apologized afterwards.” -DSP Media

“I was thinking about how to express my feelings all day long and I finally leave this post.. First off, through yesterday’s broadcast of ‘Radio Star’ which we featured as guests on, we deeply apologize to the viewers who felt uncomfortable…We will deeply reflect on the aspects of our behavior that weren’t professional. While filming and after the broadcast, we are really sorry and thankful to the ‘Radio Star’ MCs as well as J.Y. Park sunbaenim who helped and took care of us. We will become a Seungyeon, Hara, and Jiyoung who show a more brighter and hard-working image from now on.” -Seungyeon [Twitter]

“As I grew up, there are lessons that I learned that I sometimes forget and some lessons that are always useful. I learned that there is no correct answer in the process of overcoming one’s obstacles and choosing between two paths. Every time I receive pain from those who touch my emotional wounds, that is when I know that I lost my self-control. I don’t want to live by following the intentions of the people who try to hurt me.” -Jiyoung [Instagram]
