- Last week (or last 2 weeks), Sejun posted a choreography of them dancing on his Instagram, together with their coach.
- After about 2 hours or so, some people +

he apologised about it sincerely and without pressure.
- We asked fanaccs to delete the video not because we wanted to sweep the matter under the rug, because it might cause misinformation to other fandoms/ new fans/ people in general, given that he ALREADY deleted the vid.

I hope this was clear enough. Stop spreading hate about Victon when they are just at their peak of success.

Another good day to remind y& #39;all that u can email the template mentioned in my previous threads to the email fanstaff@play-m.co.kr to get a formal apology instead of cancelling the whole group for an unintentional mistake :)
Update: I am very happy to say that the members apologised (Seungsik through Victon& #39;s Official Instagram). I& #39;m utterly proud for them to acknowledge their mistakes as they should and not talking this matter lightly. Here are the translations +
