Controversy arose after ITZY member Lee Jin was seen putting her hands in her pants and adjusting her outfit during a performance, prompting her to issue a direct explanation.

On the 19th, via a live broadcast, Lee Jin said, "I received many calls and criticisms from people around me," adding, "I want to apologize to fans and explain why I put my hands in my pants."

Lee Jin stated, "First, the jumpsuit was riding up so much that it really hurt. I didn't think about it at the time, but when I watched the video later, even I thought it looked strange."

She apologized, saying, "I am sorry for doing such things on stage in front of fans." However, she also added, "But first, the jumpsuit was cutting me in half and trying to kill me. Still, putting my hands in my pants in a public place is not right. I think I made a mistake. In public places, especially on stage, I will not put my hands in my pants."

Earlier, ITZY held a solo concert as part of their third world tour, 'ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR,' at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines, on the 11th.

At that time, Lee Jin appeared uncomfortable with her jumpsuit bottoms on stage and repeatedly adjusted her outfit. In particular, she was seen putting her hands inside her shorts to adjust her costume.

Videos capturing these moments spread through online communities and SNS, sparking controversy.
