Singer Kim Da-hyun made her first public appearance since the controversy over veteran singer Shim Soo-bong's open criticism.

On the 26th, Kim took the stage at a busking competition held in Hwaeamyeon, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, for the '2026 Gyeongnam Goseong Dinosaur World Expo.' The event drew significant attention as it marked Kim's first official appearance after receiving sharp remarks from Shim Soo-bong.

That day, Kim appeared on stage with a bright smile and began by saying, "Thank you all for coming despite the Chuseok holiday." She then added, "I recorded a Chuseok greeting video with my older sister about a week ago, but unfortunately, I couldn't post it."

She further explained, "As many of you know, due to an unexpected incident, I was unable to post the video."

Kim said, "Many people who care for and love me have supported and worried about me, giving me great strength. I would like to sincerely thank everyone through this opportunity." She greeted her fans with gratitude.

She continued, "Although many expressed concern, I listened carefully and will reflect deeply on it. I came here with a firm resolve: 'After visiting my hometown in Cheonghak-dong during Chuseok and gazing at the full moon, I must study harder and boldly challenge myself to become a great singer like that bright, clear full moon.'"

Earlier, Kim Da-hyun had unexpectedly become a topic of discussion due to Shim Soo-bong's remarks. On the 20th, at an event held in Jinan, Jeollabuk-do, Shim took the stage immediately after Kim and made controversial comments such as, "The woman singing before me confused my mind," "A young lady who doesn't even know what singing or life is," and "Please don't send that performer in front of me again." These remarks sparked widespread controversy.

As the controversy spread, it was reported that Shim Soo-bong directly called Kim Da-hyun to apologize. Kim responded calmly, saying, "Teacher (Shim Soo-bong) personally apologized, offered encouragement, and gave warm comfort. I will compose myself well, so please don't worry and let's meet with bright smiles." Her composed demeanor earned her support from many.

Meanwhile, Kim Da-hyun, born in 2009, gained recognition after placing third in the TV Chosun trot competition program 'Miss Trot 2,' which aired in 2021.
