The video clip has sparked a massive scandal.

The clip immediately drew an influx of complaints and condemnations in the comment sections, to the point where the video was removed only two hours after it was posted. However, it made its way to social media, inviting scathing criticism from Korean and international fans alike.
On June 22, Honey J finally addressed the controversy and offered a formal apology on her Instagram.
This is Honey J.
I sincerely apologize to those who were hurt by my careless words in the YouTube video uploaded last night, as well as to those who have supported me—I deeply regret causing any disappointment or discomfort.
The video was filmed in a relaxed setting where the members and I had gathered to watch the first broadcast of Street Woman Fighter together. We were casually chatting as we watched, and in the heat of the moment, I reacted strongly toward an opposing dancer. I deeply reflect on the fact that my thoughtless words and actions made viewers uncomfortable.
As soon as I realized the situation, I personally reached out to apologize to the dancer from the opposing crew. They could have been upset, but graciously accepted my apology. I want to express my sincere apologies once again. It was entirely my fault for not fully recognizing the weight of my words.
I offer a heartfelt apology to everyone.
Through this experience, I’ve come to realize how much impact a single word or action can have. I will take greater care with everything I say and do, and make sure not to repeat the same mistake. I will take to heart all the feedback and criticism I’ve received, and strive to think and act more thoughtfully from now on.
To everyone who has supported me, I sincerely apologize once again for letting you down.
— Honey J
