JUNGWON addressed the T-shirt issue. He sincerely apologized and said he’d be careful. He said he didn’t know the meaning behind of it.

Translation of JUNGWON's live from today (260719)
"Hello. I’m back after finishing the Dallas concert.
To be honest, the reason I turned on the live stream today is because it seems like the t-shirt I wore yesterday made some people feel a bit uncomfortable. I really didn’t know. I just thought it was a regular t-shirt when I wore it, but apparently, it’s something that people from Kazakhstan find very uncomfortable.
How should I put it? There's a movie related to it, and it's used as a dark satire. Yes, that's right, the "hole" one. The t-shirt with the holes that I wore yesterday. I didn't know at the time, but seeing that it might have made some people feel uncomfortable, I want to start by apologizing. I threw that t-shirt away immediately. Even though I didn't know, if it made people feel uncomfortable, it is still my fault, so I am sorry. I threw the t-shirt away right this morning.
Actually, I wanted to apologize like this right away before the concert, but when I checked the time in Kazakhstan, it was the middle of the night. So I thought, even though it's still morning there now—I think it’s around 8 AM or 9 AM over there right now—it would be better to do the live stream at a time when people could actually see it. That's why I turned on the live as soon as I got back. And yes, I am sorry. I am sincerely sorry and I will reflect on this. Yes, I'll delete the Tiktok video too.
Ah, if I keep talking it might get too long, but the person who created that dance choreography was also Kazakhstani. I really had absolutely no idea, and I am so sorry. Yes, I truly didn't know. I'll be more careful from now on.
Anyway, today's concert went well, and now that Dallas is over, we are heading to San Diego tomorrow. I did the concert well today without getting hurt. Since there might be local fans who won't be able to see this, I would be very grateful if ENGENEs could spread the word. Yes, I'll be going now. Thank you so much and [again] I sincerely apologize."
it’s so funny how, when the rebrand was announced, people were so determined to be negative. they wrote thread after thread about how they were abandoning the vampire concept and now they’re coming back with vampire exclusive merch 😅
