#JusticeForApink trends after K-pop group's performance was cut off during biggest show of the year

K-pop group Apink have been issued an apology by a national Korean television station after the group's performance at the 2019 Gayo Daechukje was cut off due to a broadcasting error. Many outraged fans took to social media to voice their protests using the hashtag #JusticeForApink.

KBS has since released an official apology from the show's chief producer Kwon Yong Taek, who claimed the show's director of the production division had attempted to apologize to Apink as soon as the show was over but the band had left the building by that time. So they asked the band's management agency to pass on their apology to the group, Soompi reports.

"I'm sorry. I have nothing to say for myself. It was our fault. I want to apologize once again to Apink and their fans." Band member Eunji also addressed the incident in a post on her Instagram account:"Many of our fans have felt upset together with us and have been comforting us. That's why after debating over what I should say, I'm posting this. I know that at the end of every year, many people work hard to put on a great show, and I'm always grateful to get to step onto the stage.

"Kbs as well as other song festivals/award shows are obviously biased towards boy groups...why would u give one of the artists 21 minutes for their performance,while giving other ones barely enough time to perform ONE song..the amount of disrespect...#JusticeForApink," wrote @rosyvves.

Good that this hit MSM, bad that the facts are somewhat wrong.
