Choi Sangyeop, a member of the band Lucy, has issued an apology following the controversy surrounding his "paper wrap" comment, which some people found offensive.

On December 4th, Choi Sangyeop took to the fan platform Bubble to apologize, saying, "I realize that I disappointed many people with the words I shared on Bubble." He continued, "I apologize for using inappropriate words and causing concern to those who have supported me."

The issue started when a fan mentioned their "Polaroid camera," and Choi Sangyeop replied with "paper wrap." He went on to explain, "When you take a Polaroid, paper comes out," but some netizens misunderstood it as a derogatory remark toward women, linking it to a negative term for menstruating women.

In his apology, Choi Sangyeop clarified, "The words I used were not meant to have any other meaning or intention. However, I regret my carelessness and will be more careful in the future."

He added, "Although it’s a little late, I want to sincerely apologize to anyone who was hurt or disappointed. I will be more mindful of my actions going forward." He also bowed in apology.

Choi Sangyeop debuted as a member of Lucy in May 2020 and has earned a lot of love with hits like "Kehwa," "Nori," and "Hero." Lucy will be holding their solo concert "Lucy Days" on December 8th at the KBS Arena in Seoul.
