Marco Apologizes For Initially Denying Dating Rumors With MOMOLAND's Hyebin

May 17, 2021

Marco has apologized to his fans for initially denying dating rumors with MOMOLAND’s Hyebin.

On May 17, MLD Entertainment confirmed that Hyebin and Marco were dating. Speculation about their relationship arose online after the idols were seen wearing what appeared to be “couple” items (i.e. matching clothes and accessories).

The day before the news broke, Marco had participated in a group chat with some fans and denied the dating rumors.

Later on May 17, Marco posted an apology on his personal Instagram account.

This is Marco.

I apologize for causing fans concern.

Yesterday, during the open chatting event, my speech and behavior caused serious disappointment to those who have trusted me and cheered me.

I was at fault for trying to set my fans at ease through lies.

I was afraid of causing harm to a lot of people, so even though I’m someone who is able to work through the love of fans, I turned away from the fact that the truthful stance was the right one to take.

I can only apologize for hurting my fans through my mistaken judgment and false excuses. I know that an apology won’t erase the feelings of disappointment and hurt, but I will never stop reflecting on my actions.

I will work hard in order to not disappoint you like this again and reflect on the criticism I have received for my immature actions.

Once again, I apologize. I’m sorry.
