As a member of the group CHASER, Ren, made inappropriate remarks toward a fan, his agency bowed its head in apology on his behalf.

On the 12th, CHASER's agency, Howling Entertainment, stated through its official account, "We sincerely apologize to all fans who may have been hurt by Ren's inappropriate words and actions."

The agency conveyed, "Despite the fact that we should have shown a more cautious and responsible attitude to our fans, we deeply reflect on having caused disappointment and hurt through reckless words and actions."

Additionally, the agency added, "Showing inappropriate words and actions in the process of communicating with fans cannot be justified for any reason, and it is behavior unworthy of the interest and love you have shown us."

The agency emphasized, "We are taking this matter very seriously and will pay even more careful attention to artist education and management so that similar incidents do not recur in the future. We will do our utmost to ensure a more cautious and responsible attitude in communication with fans."

It further added, "Once again, we sincerely apologize to all fans who were hurt by Ren's words and actions."

Previously, controversy arose after it was revealed that when a fan sent the message "I've been waiting for you" on a paid fan communication platform, Ren replied, "Ah, so what?" and "Why are you saying things to me? You keep being annoying."

Meanwhile, CHASER, of which Ren is a member, debuted in February.
