Singer DinDin once again addressed the controversial remarks she made during the Qatar World Cup.
On the 7th, a video titled "Graduation Ceremony Without Common Sense: The Secret Behind DinDin's Image Boost" was released on the YouTube channel 'Allat-dallat Han-chan-geon'.
That day, DinDin recalled the time of the 2022 Qatar World Cup and said, "I have already issued many public apologies, and I am still reflecting on it."
She continued, "When the World Cup season comes, there are so many football programs. I appeared frequently with experts. On air, they said 'We can reach the round of 16,' but when the cameras turned off, they said 'It won't be easy.' Listening to that, I think I fell into a delusion."
She added, "I went to broadcaster Bae Sung-jae's radio show during the World Cup special. He asked me what I thought, and I replied, 'Why do you keep pushing for hope? Everyone knows we won't make it, so why keep saying we will?' That broadcast was live. Comments flooded in saying 'This is a big problem,' which is probably why."
She then said, "The next day, an article titled 'Son Heung-min Attack' suddenly appeared. The situation escalated, and even my friends contacted me. They asked, 'Why did you say that on air when it's something to talk about at a drinking party?'"
Afterward, the South Korean national football team defeated Portugal and secured their spot in the round of 16. DinDin remarked, "The World Cup was so huge; people were really happy back then, but then everything fell apart." She added, "Even though it was the decisive match against Portugal for the round of 16, I had contracted COVID-19 and couldn't leave my house. Yet, as soon as the goal went in, I felt happy, but at the same time, my phone rang. Kyu-hyun called and said, 'I can't see you anymore,' which made everyone laugh."
DinDin said, "I couldn't even go out or meet people back then. During that quarantine period, I had a time for self-reflection. It was actually a very good quarantine period." She concluded, "Since I kept apologizing, the World Cup came around again."
