iKON’s Junhoe’s Controversial Instagram Post
The latest news about iKON’s Junhoe is related to a controversial Instagram post he has made. The post in question was uploaded to his Instagram @juneeeeeeya account. In this post, Junhoe showed off the prize he got from the Japanese comedian and director, Kitano Takeshi. In the post’s caption, Junhoe wrote, “Kitano Takeshi-san, thank you. Please come to the iKON concert.”
Seeing this Junhoe post, fans also gave him a warning and asked the singer of “Love Scenario” to delete it. “Kitano Takeshi has a history of controversial issues where he hates Korea. Please delete all posts (related to him),” wrote a fan. But the fans’ request was not responded to by Junhoe. The 1997-born singer expressed his dislike when someone ordered him to do this.
“Don’t make me do this or that … I don’t like it,” Junhoe wrote. “I like (Kitano Takeshi) as an artist. Why every time there is a certain problem, you have to step back and erase all traces. I also have feelings, so please respect. There is no problem if I personally like him as an artist.”
Junhoe’s reply was not responded to warmly by netizens. The reason is that Kitano Takeshi himself does not have a good image in the eyes of the Korean public since he once stated that Korea was “still a Japanese colony” which “needed to be recaptured.”
“Does he have a brain?” netizens commented. “Why does he cause trouble when iKON wants to make a comeback?” said another netizen. “He must apologize and provide an explanation,” said another netizen. “You are arrogant,” said another.
“I heard you want to release ‘Goodbye Road.’ I think that means you want to separate from your fans,” said the netizens sarcastically. “You should be more humble, the higher your position. The fans give you advice for your own good and you instead ignore it,” added another.
iKON’s Junhoe Apologies for His Posts and Comments on Instagram Causing Controversy
One of the members of iKON, Junhoe, became a concern because his posts and comments on Instagram caused controversy. The handsome idol had to apologize twice and one of the apologies he immediately made was handwritten. The controversy began with Junhoe’s post on Instagram showing a gift from a Japanese comedian and director named Kitano Takeshi. Junhoe also wrote a caption that read, “Kitano Takeshi-san thank you. Come to the iKON concert.”
The post was in the spotlight for fans, especially those from Korea. One fan wrote a comment that said, “Kitano Takeshi has a history of hating Korea. Please just delete posts related to Kitano Takeshi.”
Junhoe responded by saying, “Don’t order me to do this and that. I don’t like it. I really like Kitano Takeshi as an artist. Why if there is an issue I have to step back and erase all traces. I also have feelings, so please respect. There’s no problem for me because I like him as an artist.”
Junhoe’s comments also triggered many other negative comments. Many fans who were from Korea thought that what the iKON member was doing was wrong and they asked him to apologize. A few hours after Junhoe’s posting was in the spotlight, he finally deleted the photo and revealed an apology.
“I’m sorry. He (Kitano Takeshi) is an actor I like and I don’t know any other information. Because the fans consider me as their friend, I didn’t realize that having talked to them comfortably made things like this. I really apologize. In the future, I will be the one who will speak more carefully. Again, forgive me for being inconsiderate.”
Despite having apologized, there are still many netizens who are annoyed and are constantly giving negative comments on Junhoe’s Instagram. Finally, the idol with the husky voice returned to making a handwritten apology.
“Hello, this is Goo Jun-hoe. A few hours ago all the iKON members were filming so I was in a hurry to make an apology. I’m really sorry to the fans who always support me even though I still make mistakes. I’m not aware of the situation from the advice made for me. I made a mistake because I had a chat like with my own friend and thought that if it was not a big problem. I only realized it later and felt ashamed of myself. I’m really sorry.”
“I am very sorry for replying to comments with no caution on fans who care about me. I will go back to working hard to become a more mature and careful Goo Jun-hoe. Once again, I’m really sorry,” he concluded.

“I’m the boss of YG Chinese fans!”
Needless to say, the audience and fellow group members seemed rather shocked. He quickly then attempted to cover up his mistake by yelling “I love you.” Unfortunately, the damage seems to have been done as fans and netizens seemed quite upset over the incident.
