SM Entertainment recently apologized on NCT Renjun’s behalf. Renjun was embroiled in a controversy when he blasted a number on his Dear. U Bubble account, believing it to belong to a sasaeng. The owner of the number fought back, claiming to have called the number by mistake, believing it to be a friend’s. SM Entertainment has since acknowledged Renjun’s actions as a “careless” mistake.

“Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

On June 20, Renjun exposed a phone number that had called him on a messaging app after he perceived the caller as a Sasaeng. We apologize for the fact that he exposed the number on a public platform and the harm it caused the caller.

After we were alerted that the victim had gone to the police, we spoke with the head investigator, who shared with us what the caller had gone through. We sent our apologies to the investigator and deleted the message at the center of this incident. We will do our best to minimize the damage to the victim, and we ask that you no longer call the person.

Renjun is currently reflecting on his foolish actions, and we also ask forgiveness for our lack of care for our artists. Again, we apologize to the victim and to the many fans who were alarmed by this incident.”

Although the company claimed to have “sent their apologies” via the investigator, the victim at the heart of the matter spoke up, claiming that they did not receive any apology from SM Entertainment. Instead, they only found out about the apology through a news article.

“Are apologies originally made through an article rather than by contacting someone? Their legal team said that they wanted to contact me about an apology. That was what they told me through the investigative staff around 8 to 9pm yesterday. I even gave them my number, but I still have not received any contact from them.”

As such, netizens have been putting SM Entertainment on blast for their actions, calling them out for their alleged lie.

  • SM Entertainment is like that. They always pretend to be fast in action through articles only.
  • If I were them, I’d sue and not come to an agreement, so that he goes back to China LOL
  • So they released an article pretending to have dealt with it? Such thugs.
  • Wow, they’re such thugs.
  • They have to sue. It seems like since the victim is trying to smooth things over, they’re being like that. Trash.
  • Brainless.
  • Sue them. What a betrayal.
  • Wow LOL.
  • What’s Renjun doing, not apologizing?
