1. [+1,165, -131] I saw the broadcast, it wasn't actually an apology. An apology would rquire saying the words "sorry", no?! Who does he think he is to say that he'll humbly accept the criticisms? And he said it was "regretful" that clips were taken without consent? Son Suk Hee-ssi, do you not know how to apologize? Or are you too woke to do it properly? He was acting like he had 12 layers of a neck cast on with his refusal to bow in apology.

2. [+928, -84] This isn't the first time JTBC has put out news without fact checking and then gone "oops" without fixing it once they were found to be in the wrong.

3. [+906, -38] What is a news channel without any facts?

4. [+77, -5] That wasn't an apology ㅋㅋ it was basically an attempt at getting out of it. His apology was essentially "if it wasn't true, then oh well, that's regretful"... I don't think even a show like 'Entertainment Relay' would be so lazy with their apology like this.

5. [+70, -5] I didn't see the show but after reading this article, I'm questioning how he thinks that's an apology? He's talking like a politician.

6. [+66, -5] Don't bother apologizing if you don't want to do it properly

7. [+60, -7] Please stop messing with an idol group that's doing so much for our country. If you can't support them, just leave them alone... So disappointed in the 'News Room'.

8. [+51, -5] Looks like they were scared with fans threatening to boycott their advertisers. They're going to need to learn how to issue an apology, though. An apology is only an apology if it's accepted by the offended party.

9. [+47, -2] How in the world is this an official 'apology'? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Regretful? Do you even know the meaning of an apology?

10. [+40, -2] I wonder why they reported it like that, though? That's what I'm still curious about. 'News Room' is obsessed with reporting the facts, no? ㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+9, -2] Trust is lost in JTBC;;;

12. [+37, -2] If it's not true, then oops!
