On December 14, NCT held a live broadcast on YouTube titled “NCT Universe Countdown Live.” At around 5:19 p.m. KST, someone received an emergency alert on their cell phone warning of a magnitude 4.9 earthquake just off the coast of Jeju Island.

After seeing the alert, Mark, Doyoung, and Johnny reacted by singing and dancing to the song “Earthquake,” one of NCT’s B-side tracks from “Universe.” The other members put a stop to the behavior and the live broadcast continued on.

Afterward, Mark, Doyoung, and Johnny posted apologies to their personal Instagram accounts.

Mark wrote, “I want to say that I am deeply sorry for the image that I showed of myself during today’s comeback live broadcast. I am really sorry for misjudging the situation and acting carelessly and rashly. I will reflect deeply on myself and work hard to never show behavior like this again.”

Doyoung wrote, “Hello, this is Doyoung. During today’s comeback live broadcast, I made a rash mistake without properly recognizing the situation. I want to apologize for those who were hurt and felt uncomfortable because of my frivolous actions and words. This was entirely my mistake, so I apologize again without excuses. I will work hard in order to not make a mistake like this again. Once again, I want to say sorry to those who were hurt by my actions and words.”

Johnny wrote, “I am very sorry for my rash actions during the comeback live broadcast. In future, I will be more careful about my thoughts and actions. I am really sorry. I want to apologize again to those who felt uncomfortable while watching my behavior.”

there's no way someone was seriously offended by this why are companies making idols apologise for the dumbest sh*t instead of actually letting them apologise for serious harmful things?

I love them, but good that they apologized.

While I do think making them apologise was over the top as 4.9 earthquakes generally aren't that dangerous however I also would say that plugging your aptly named song in response to an alert for it isn't exactly the most tasteful thing either so I'd still clown them for it at least.

We need to normalize stupid kpop idols. Like good clean airheads, makes everything funner

idols have to apologise for the dumbest shit sometimes. the chances for someone getting offended are near zero. but oh well

Yes, I think the same. It's ridiculous that idols need to apologize literally for everything, but it was untasteful that time.
