Red Velvet’s Seulgi Issues Apology Following Airport Controversy
Rising K-pop star Seulgi from Red Velvet recently found herself at the center of a controversy after a shoe-swap incident at the airport. The incident occurred when the group was traveling to Taiwan for a performance at the K-Mega Concert in Kaohsiung.
Initially sporting a pair of sponsored high heels at Incheon International Airport, Seulgi later appeared at Kaohsiung International Airport in sneakers, while her manager was seen wearing her high heels. This sparked backlash from some who accused Seulgi of prioritizing her own comfort over her manager’s well-being.
Seulgi took to Instagram Stories on July 13 to address the issue directly. In her heartfelt post, she explained that she had developed blisters and wounds on her feet from practicing and had not anticipated the discomfort caused by the high heels. Her manager kindly suggested the shoe swap to prevent further pain and ensure Seulgi could perform at her best.
Apologizing for the incident and any disappointment it may have caused, Seulgi expressed regret for her actions and assured fans and her manager that she would be more careful in the future. The incident serves as a reminder for Seulgi to prioritize both her own well-being and the well-being of those around her.
