SF9’s Youngbin shared an apology regarding his remarks on the topic of being vaccinated for COVID-19.

In a recent Naver V LIVE broadcast, Youngbin shared his thoughts about the vaccine. He said, “They said the vaccine hurt, so I didn’t get vaccinated. Honestly I don’t think I’ll get COVID-19 even if I don’t get vaccinated because I’m not exposed to the dangers of COVID-19. But I am a bit scared because a lot of my acquaintances have contracted COVID-19. It seems like you can get COVID-19 even if you get vaccinated, so I’m wondering if I have to.”

After Youngbin’s words came under fire, he issued an apology on SF9’s official fan café. Read his apology below:

I apologize for causing trouble for all those who are watching over me with my comments about the vaccine. I am deeply reflecting on having made such careless remarks in a broadcast watched by many people, and I apologize.

I will be vaccinated as soon as possible, and I will rectify my misguided thoughts and be more careful and mindful with my words and actions.

I am very sorry.

For what it's worth, his statement was taken out of context as you can see here, he said that he intended to get the vaccine when it becomes available

This is a relief. One side of my family is made up of anti-vaxxers and I didn't need it coming from my faves either
