Singer DinDin bowed his head again over the controversy surrounding him.
On the 13th, DinDin released a video titled DinDin appears on his own Namuwiki! Explaining the controversy over adding cheese to yukgaejang on his YouTube channel DinDin is DinDin.
In the video, DinDin said, "The producers look up information about me on Namuwiki and keep coming back having seen incorrect stories. So I wanted to directly point out the wrong information, and I plan to take Namuwiki seriously. There was no one around me who read Namuwiki carefully. I wondered if the people who did wrong would read it carefully to see what had been added," and began to look at the open encyclopedia containing his information.
DinDin first addressed the height listed as 167.7 cm, saying, "For dwarves like me, unless the country tells you to measure your height, you don't measure it. This height is almost from the 2010s. The height measured at a physical exam is measured after starving yourself, so I don't consider it my height. I remember only the highest measurement, like a best running record on a good day, and now I think I'm about 168 cm," he said.
Regarding his appearance as the wealthy household rapper on Show Me the Money 2, DinDin said, "When we finished season 1 and were thinking about going to season 2, the broadcaster had many concerns. We did season 2, but there were criticisms that the program's purpose had been distorted because the rappers who were active appeared, and they said, 'There's DinDin.' When I went as the cypher mission MC in season 3, the Director General said, 'Thanks to you we were able to do season 3.' CJ is the messiah of the hip-hop scene, and I'm like Peter," he said.
DinDin answered frankly about the controversy. Regarding his criticism of national soccer team coach Paulo Bento and others, he said, "I'm sorry," and "That was crazy. Why did I say something like that?" DinDin said, "I really love soccer. At the time, evaluations of Coach Bento were not good and it was the World Cup season, and everyone was saying reaching the round of 16 would be difficult. I was in a state of righteous indignation and conviction, so I was angry. An article came out with a nuance that I had targeted Son Heung-min, and as an ordinary citizen I should have just cheered, but I painfully realized why I did that. I apologized to those I have ties with and asked that my apologies be conveyed to Son Heung-min's aunt because we are close," and he released the original long apology he had made public at the time.
DinDin said, "I've changed a lot since then. If that hadn't happened, I would have judged everything extremely when I did things," and added, "The World Cup is coming again, and many people casually ask me, but I'm not any kind of expert, so it's funny for me to evaluate, judge and predict. I hope something really big happens this time, but I think all we can do is cheer."
About his growth disorder, he said, "I was the youngest son born late, so my parents had high expectations. They taught me English from babyhood. I used English before I even got the hang of Korean, but when I went to kindergarten my height was very small. The doctor said it was a growth disorder due to stress. They prescribed freedom, and from then on I grew like this, but I grew about 8 cm each year. If I had grown steadily without stress, the history of Korea would have changed," he said confidently, drawing laughs.
In particular, regarding Shin Hyun-been, DinDin said, "My little older sister's closest friend is Shin Hyun-been, and actually my sister has a lot of stories. I've often seen my sister get beaten up. Among my sister's friends, Shin Hyun-been was the kindest, quiet and would calm things down," he said, and about the claim that he adds cheese to yukgaejang, he said, "I started eating it in the military," and called a friend, but the friend replied, "That wasn't the case," which produced a twist and laughter.
