This is Julie from KISS OF LIFE.

An old video has resurfaced in which I, without paying enough attention, sang the original lyrics of a cover song that included a certain word, for which I deeply regret.
This incident made me realize how my careless actions can cause harm to many people and during my 6 years of training period I educated myself and matured.
I’m determined to be more cautious and meticulous to prevent making the same mistakes in the future.

I want to express my sincere apologies to everyone who may have been hurt by my actions.
I will strive to show you a better version of myself and continuous growth in the future.

Thank you for your understanding.
