As girl group A2O LITE member I-Ching became embroiled in controversy over allegedly shoving another member during a group photo session, attention has recently turned to the fact that she had apologized to the other member by saying "I'm sorry" at the time.

During the morning arrival photo session for the radio show "Noon Hope Song Kim Shin-young," held on the 21st at MBC headquarters in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, a group photo shoot was conducted with A2O LITE members.

At the time, the members stood side by side on the stairs and posed toward the press. I-Ching, who was positioned lower on the stairs, appeared to hesitate about whether to climb up while posing.

In this process, as I-Ching approached a member named A-Yoon who was standing above on the stairs, a situation arose where A-Yoon's face was obscured.

As the video spread, some netizens criticized that I-Ching had shoved the member next to her in order to take the spot where A-Yoon had been in the middle. Pointers noted that A-Yoon's expression stiffened momentarily, and reactions such as "Neither of them is willing to yield" also emerged.

On the other hand, counterarguments were raised that their paths simply crossed while trying to strike a group pose on narrow stairs. Opinions also followed that it was excessive to pour out harsh criticism based solely on a short video toward Shin-in, who was born in 2013 and is 13 years old this year.

Amid this, a scene in which I-Ching says "I'm sorry" to A-Yoon in the video was also confirmed.

I-Ching hesitated about whether to climb up the stairs while posing, and ended up obscuring A-Yoon's face. Seeing A-Yoon look flustered, she eventually went back down the stairs and apologized.

In response, opinions are emerging that one must examine the overall flow when judging the situation at the time.

Previously, I-Ching had also drawn attention for a controversy regarding her parents' wage arrears. On the 14th, I-Ching's mother posted a statement on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, apologizing for the wage arrears issue at a business she had operated. However, she emphasized that the matter was one that her parents should take responsibility for and was unrelated to her daughter.

Meanwhile, I-Ching, born in 2013, is a member of A2O LITE, a nine-member multinational girl group that debuted on the 13th. In particular, she gained attention for her appearance resembling singer BoA and her dance skills.
