🐈 so… the reason i actually went live today is…the t-shirt i wore yesterday seemed to make some people uncomfortable, and i genuinely didn’t know. i thought it was just a regular t-shirt, but apparently it’s related to a movie that many people in Kazakhstan find very offensive. i heard it’s a black comedy that portrays them in a bad way. yes, the t-shirt shirt with holes in it. i didn’t know about it yesterday, but after seeing that some people were uncomfortable because of it, i’d like to apologize first. i threw the shirt away immediately. even if i didn’t know, if it made people uncomfortable, it’s still my mistake, so i’m sorry. i got rid of the shirt right away.
🐈 actually, i wanted to apologize first thing this morning, before the concert. but when i checked the time in Kazakhstan, it was still the middle of the night. so i thought it’d be better to go live when people there would actually be awake to see it. i think it’s around 8 or 9 a.m. there now. so as soon as i got back, i started this live. i’m sorry. i’m sincerely sorry, and i’ll reflect on this.
🐈 i’ll delete the TikTok too. also… i found out that the person who created the dance is also from Kazakhstan. the choreographer. i truly had no idea. i’m sorry. i really didn’t know. i’ll be more careful from now on.

Невозможно поверить в "незнание" — в эпоху интернета это выглядит как осознанная провокация и проявление неуважения к Казахстану.

Wearing a Borat shirt is a direct insult to Kazakhstan.This character promotes harmful stereotypes and racism. It is deeply disrespectful to Kazakh fans. We demand an explanation and an official apology!

If you’re old enough to know Borat, you’re old enough to know how offensive he is to many Kazakhs. Wearing a Borat shirt while performing a choreography created by a Kazakh choreographer is deeply disrespectful. Kazakhstan is not a stereotype.

Using the “Borat” character isn’t okay. It has insulted Kazakh people and spread harmful stereotypes about our country for many years. Jungwon, this was disrespectful to Kazakhstan and its people. We sincerely ask you and @enhypen_belift to apologize to the people of Kazakhstan🇰🇿
