[Dispatch=Yuha Sky Reporter] The YouTube channel 'Zzanhan-hyung Shin Dong-yeop' has issued a statement regarding sexual harassment allegations involving TXT.
The 'Zzanhan-hyung Shin Dong-yeop' side said in a call with Dispatch on the 4th, "The TXT episode preview was exposed in a sensational manner, which caused misunderstanding," and "The problematic content has been entirely excluded from the main episode."
They added, "During the editing process, we are making efforts to cut out parts that could be uncomfortable as much as possible, but there were parts we failed to filter," and "We will be more careful in production going forward."
The controversy erupted from a preview featuring Soobin and Beomgyu that was released on the 27th of last month. In the video, MC Shin Dong-yeop asked Soobin, "You said that it was originally gathered a bit like my eyes, right?"
Shin Dong-yeop also directly measured the distance between areas of Soobin's body. Assistant MC Jongho lifted his upper garment and exposed his body. Soobin responded, "That's embarrassing."
Sexual harassment allegations spread shortly after the preview was released. Some fans, through a statement, said "We are taking the matter very seriously," and also announced plans for truck protests.
Meanwhile, TXT released their eighth mini album 'Seventh Year: When the Wind Stopped Briefly in the Thorn Thicket' on the 13th of last month.
