K-Pop Idol Apologizes For Calling 15-Year-Old Fan A “Naked Mole Rat”

She has a good attitude about it.

BLOCK B‘s U-Kwon has officially apologized for a past misdeed.

On August 18, an account with the username ttimoworld shared her experience attending a fansign with BLOCK B. She recalled that the event took place around 12 years ago, likely during the group’s “Her” promotions.

She recalled that though U-Kwon was not her bias, she asked him what animal she resembled on a sticky note, a common question asked at fansign events. She said that he asked if she had ever heard of a naked mole rat, and said that that was the answer.

She said that it didn’t hurt her feelings that much and that Ukwon was known at the time for his “rude” behavior to fans. She did add that she thought it was a bit too much, and that it was odd that he said it to a 15-year-old girl.

U-Kwon himself actually saw the video and responded, “There’s no excuse. I’m sorry….”
