Broadcaster Kang Ho-dong broke into a cold sweat after mispronouncing the name of the group ATEEZ.
On the episode of JTBC's variety show "Knowing Bros" aired on the 14th, the group ATEEZ appeared as a full unit.
That day, ATEEZ members expressed their unique anticipation, stating that they had always wanted to appear on "Knowing Bros." The members could not hide their excitement as they expressed their joy at appearing together as a group.
In the midst of this, Kang Ho-dong made the mistake of mispronouncing "ATEEZ" as "I-Teez" while introducing the group. Realizing his error, Kang hastily apologized to the members and attempted to make amends.
Kang then explained that he was at least aware of the meaning behind the group's name. He stated that he knew the name signified encompassing the world from A to Z, showcasing his own knowledge and eliciting laughter.
Kang Ho-dong's apology did not end there. He also conveyed his regret to ATEEZ's fans and repeatedly apologized.
