Super Junior KangIn has been put on a non-restraint rule with his involvement in recent case of assault.
KangIn was recently involved in an assault case in a drinking bar on the early morning of 16th September in Seoul.
Now netizens are angry, not at the fact that KangIn participated in the fight, but that he lied that he did participate in the fight.
It was said that KangIn was provoked into the fight with several other drunk white collar workers. Part of the reason was that KangIn is a celebrity and had stood out in the crowd for easy target.
It is understandable at the age of 24, it can be hard to hold back on the emotions and to throw a fist back at the other party when provoked.
When he was initially brought to the KangNam police station for investigations, he had insisted that he had not taken part in the fight at all.
But the CCTV tape results revealed on 21st September showed that KangIn had indeed participated in the physical fight. A police officer has also stated, “Even though it was obvious that he tried to avoid the fight, he gave in to his emotions eventually and took part in the fight.”
With that, many netizens are disappointed with the fact that he had lied about the incident.
SM Entertainment has also came out to speak, “So sorry to have caused such an topic as a public figure. Sorry to everyone who was worried. We will make sure no such incident will happen again.”
Netizens say:
“I can understand the fight was due to a mistake, but I cannot forgive the fact that he lied”
“What about his young fans, when he is lying?”
“I’m not that angry but I’m glad this whole case is closed”
“I feel that they should not put young idols who are not so matured on TV as much – bad influence”
Meanwhile, KangIn has been taken off the MC duties for KBS ‘Human Network Miracle’. It was revealed on 22nd September. He will not be joining the filming from 28th September.
