Singer Shim Soo-bong's side explained the situation regarding the controversy sparked by publicly mentioning junior singer Kim Da-hyun.

In an episode of JTBC's 'Event Chief' broadcast on the 21st, Shim Soo-bong's side revealed their stance after making inappropriate remarks toward Kim Da-hyun at the 'Jinan Highland Trot Festival' stage.

Shim Soo-bong's side clarified that they were unaware Kim Da-hyun was scheduled to perform immediately before them and had no specific ill will.

They explained that Shim Soo-bong's condition was not good at the time, and while continuously listening to dance music that did not suit her, she expressed her usual thoughts on 'Young Trot,' resulting in a misstatement.

It was reported that Shim Soo-bong herself was surprised upon hearing her remarks later, saying, "I didn't know I said it like that."

Earlier, on the 20th, Shim Soo-bong made remarks about Kim Da-hyun, who performed before her, using expressions such as "that woman" and "young lady," stating, "You confused my mind. Singing is not something to be treated so carelessly." She further added, "It's not easy to offer music that comforts those who have experienced life, endured hardships, and come to see you," sparking controversy.

As the controversy grew, Shim Soo-bong stated, "On the 20th, I made a slip of the tongue on a trot festival stage in a local area watched by many people." She also mentioned that she had been under great stress due to noise at the venue, apologizing by saying, "At a trot festival where everyone should laugh and enjoy, I spoke words beyond common sense at an inappropriate moment; even with ten mouths, I have nothing to say."

In particular, Shim Soo-bong said, "Above all, I did not know exactly who the singer performing before me was, and I absolutely did not intend to embarrass a specific person," but also added, "Nevertheless, as an elder, it is clearly wrong that I hurt a junior singer's feelings with my words."

Kim Da-hyun's side also confirmed that they received Shim Soo-bong's apology. However, Kim Da-hyun's father, Hoonjang Kim Bong-gon, told StarNews, "Da-hyun discovered the remarks while monitoring her own stage after moving following the event. She held back tears and then burst into tears. It seems to have become a wound. I think she is quite upset."
