In an Internet scandal, Stray Kids’ Han Jisung was accused of using the N-word in a pre-debut rap song that has been reportedly deleted from YouTube.

When the controversy escalated on social media, Jisung took to the Stray Kids’ official Instagram and shared an apology. In a handwritten letter, he sincerely said sorry along with a translation in English.”
The post continued, “He was still pretty bad during his trainee times, he got into fights with almost all the members. He had calmed down a lot, but I hope he and the rest of stray kids educate themselves more on racial issues. In 2018, he did suggest that Changbin gets reggae hair, and was really surprised when Felix shut down Woojin when Woojin suggested Felix get dreads.”
NCT Dream consists of Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung and joined forces with the rest of NCT in the 2020 NCT’s project ‘NCT 2020 Resonance Pt 1’ and ‘NCT 2020 Resonance Pt 2’.
Their track ‘Déjà Vu’ received a sea of applause worldwide as the song also made it to Metro’s Top 20 K-pop comeback songs. Stream ‘Déjà Vu’ here:
