Singer Kim Jang Hoon faced heavy criticism after revealing some of Mir's wedding ceremony photos, which had been reported as a private wedding, but the situation entered a new phase when Mir personally clarified that "the wedding was not private." Despite that, Kim Jang Hoon has not deleted the apology statement he previously posted, and he directly explained the reason for this as well.
On the 25th, Kim Jang Hoon posted on his personal account, "Regarding the controversy over Mir's wedding video, I want to say that through this incident I have instead received your thanks and great emotion."
Kim Jang Hoon said, "I learned that the wedding was not private as soon as I posted the apology on the 22nd. As soon as I posted it, Eun-a contacted me and told me to take the apology down quickly. 'It wasn't private, and no one ever said it was private. It's just that they weren't popular so reporters didn't come' — that's typical Bangga family talk, right?"
He continued, "But when I thought it over carefully, I couldn't take down the apology. There are two reasons. The first is that if I take down the apology I would have to give a reason, and if I said 'it was not private' it would become noisy again. A wedding is life's greatest blessing and celebration, and I felt that for whatever reason, there shouldn't be controversy twice over my sister's wedding, so I decided not to post an explanation and to stay quiet thinking, 'Let's just take some criticism for once — it's been a long time since I was criticized.'"
Kim Jang Hoon said, "The second reason is because of you. You didn't curse at me, did you? You wrapped me up saying it wasn't malicious, they just didn't know. I was very moved," and added, "People worry a lot these days that the world has become harsh and that internet keyboard warriors are a problem. But sometimes, in the world I feel and encounter, there are far more beautiful people."
He added, "Although I felt some unfairness, because you believed in me and understood me, I decided to quietly spend the best Christmas reflecting on myself, and I am doing that," and "You are always the ones who teach me. I live with constant gratitude. I will try to become a better person little by little each day. I sincerely thank you."
Previously, Mir held a wedding ceremony on the 21st at a location in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, with a non-celebrity woman one year older than him. Kim Jang Hoon, who attended as a guest, filmed part of the second portion of the ceremony and posted the video on social media, and controversy over 'bad manners' arose after he released the video without blurring the bride Mir's face.
As a result, Kim Jang Hoon posted an apology saying he did not know the wedding was private and that "from today I will become a different person, reflect on myself with the humblest attitude and compose myself," but the controversy was dispelled after Mir's family conveyed via YouTube that the wedding was not private.

Regarding the controversy over Mir's wedding video,
Through this incident I have instead received your thanks and great emotion.
A little while ago a video explaining the controversy was uploaded to Bangga's YouTube, and as articles came out I was resting alone on Christmas when contacts started pouring in from acquaintances, haha.
They said the articles caused an uproar again...
I learned that the wedding was not private as soon as I posted the apology on the 22nd.
On the 21st I went to Mir's wedding, uploaded a video of the bride and groom's exit,
and articles saying 'they are being pounded by public opinion for posting a video even though it was private' were coming out massively, and I received calls from my manager and acquaintances.
So I posted an apology, but as soon as I did Eun-a contacted me and told me to take the apology down quickly.
It was not private,
and no one ever said it was private...
They were just not popular so reporters didn't come — that's Bangga family for you, haha.
But when I thought it over carefully, I couldn't take down the apology.
There are two reasons
The first is,
If I take down the apology I have to give a reason, and if I say 'it was not private' it would get noisy again.
People say the reporters are the problem, why didn't they make it clear it wasn't private, even though they are private citizens they should have been careful, etc.
People have many different thoughts.
A wedding is life's greatest blessing and celebration, and I felt that for whatever reason there shouldn't be controversy twice over my sister's wedding, so I decided not to post an explanation and to stay quiet thinking, 'Let's just take some criticism for once — it's been a long time since I was criticized.'
The second is,
it's because of you.
You didn't curse at me, did you? haha
You said it wasn't malicious... they just didn't know...
and you wrapped me up like that.
Ah~ I was so moved.
People say the world has become harsh, internet keyboard warriors are the problem~
and many worry about these social trends these days, right?
But sometimes, in the world I feel and encounter, there are far, far more beautiful people.
If there's a bit of prince syndrome here,
I especially feel that despite my lacking character, people send me support and encouragement more than criticism.
Those things are a force that leads me to live more humanely and more kindly.
Nevertheless, although I felt some unfairness, because you believed in me and understood me,
I decided to quietly spend the best Christmas reflecting on myself, and I am doing that.
In conclusion,
I will just diligently do my work in my place.
I kept thinking about directing the Busan performance and the national tour, and practiced vocalization diligently,
and I cheered myself up thinking about the sharing events planned for the end and beginning of the year.
Especially at year-end I am very excited to have a joint charity event with Seon, the true charity angel of our time ♡
I am very excited because this is the first time we have a joint sharing event.
You are always the ones who teach me.
I live with constant gratitude.
I will try to become a better person little by little each day.
I sincerely thank you ♡
Sincerely, Kim Jang Hoon
PS: To end this matter gracefully, I think I should soon go to Jangseong and make Brother Gi-soon and his family (Eun-a's father) apologize and sell out, I suppose.
See you on Bangga's YouTube <
