260821 #MARK instagram story
I want to clarify something I said during my Instagram Live.
During the Live, I misspoke when I said that l knew the meaning and historical significance of the symbol. What I meant to say was that l did not know the meaning or historical significance of the symbol at the time.
I want to be clear: I did not understand what the symbol represented, and neither did my team. There is no excuse for that. l take full responsibility for my lack of awareness, and sincerely regret the hurt and pain this caused, especially to my Black fans.
I have always believed in celebrating inclusivity, respecting others, and using my music to bring people together. What happened does not reflect those values or who I am as a person.
I recognize that not knowing does not lessen the impact. I deeply regret that I was uneducated about the history and meaning behind the symbol, and I am committed to learning, educating myself, and doing better moving forward.
I am truly sorry to everyone l hurt. I hope my actions going forward can reflect the respect and inclusivity I believe in.

it's so strange to me that homes dont have a dedicated spot for clothes that you wore like once or twice but dont need washing just yet. where am i supposed to put my clothing L1 cache. currently it's just a little pile in the corner lol
he's also not responsible for her mental health. HOWEVERRR these kpop companies do need to take blame for fostering an industry that is so heavily reliant on parasocialism, which eventually leads to shit like this
while he shouldn't be the first thought, i think it's ok to consider the guy who'll obviously feel a sense of guilt for setting boundaries that eventually led to that poor girl's witch hunt. he isn't responsible for people assuming it's about her
"omg I feel so bad for Niki, he recognized mina because she's been a fan of his for 6 years"
you literally seen a girl take her life on livestream and your first thought is of a man...? whose fans pushed her to the edge....?
