Indie rock band Mr. Nah Band is facing a difficult moment as their vocalist, Na Sang Hyun, publicly admits to sexual harassment allegations. On May 23, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his regret for his actions during a drinking party, where he allegedly pretended to be intoxicated and inappropriately touched a woman.
In his heartfelt apology, Na explained, "I am sorry for hurting the person in a situation where I cannot remember the specific circumstances due to drinking. I know it’s late, but I would like to apologize now personally. If it is ok, please send me a private message. Please refrain from causing secondary harm to the person."
He continued by reflecting on his past behavior, noting, "About 3-4 years ago, after people pointed out my drunken behavior, I deeply reflected on it with the help of those around me and tried to improve the problem."
Na expressed his determination to do better: "I will reflect more deeply and work hard to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. My heart feels even heavier about acting in a way that does not align with the values I have always thought about and spoken of. I will set clearer standards and work harder to protect the values I have held important through my actions. I once again apologize for this."
This public acknowledgment of past misconduct comes as social media users are sharing their own accounts, shedding light on Na’s actions and the culture surrounding such incidents. It’s a moment that could have a profound impact on Na Sang Hyun’s career and the larger conversation about accountability in the entertainment industry.
As fans process this news, Mr. Nah Band will undoubtedly face scrutiny while Na takes the necessary steps to address his past mistakes.
