Kyuhyun Apologizes For Controversial Remark About SM Parking Fees, “It Was My Misunderstanding”

Kyuhyun guested on SBS PowerFM’s “DinDin’s Music High” broadcast on January 23rd and explained the controversy over his remark about paying for parking at SM.

When DinDin asked, “You were upset because you had to pay for parking at SM?”, Kyuhyun replied, “I said it as a pleasant joke, but it caused a stir. I think I should explain it”.

Earlier on the 20th, Kyuhyun sparked controversy when he said, “I went to SM for Super Junior practices and they told me to pay for parking”, on JTBC’s “Knowing Bros”.

On the radio program, Kyuhyun shared, “Even before that, I couldn’t register my car as a company car because I drove it to the schedules myself. Actually, I did pay parking fees when I was still in SM. At that time, the company arranged and took care of the payment.”

He continued, “I was a little upset, but then I came to know that the company also rents the building, and the company employees are also paying parking fees. That’s how I realized that I made a big mistake”, adding “SM officials were not angry. They only told me, ‘We pay for parking, too’. All registered cars pay for parking and even company employees whose cars are not registered also pay parking fees”.

Lastly, Kyuhyun apologized, “I would like to deliver my great, deep and sincere apology”, adding, “I said it as a joke but I was so emotional while talking. It turned out that I had a misunderstanding”.

Kyuhyun made his debut as a member of Super Junior in 2006. He left SM Entertainment last year and moved to Antenna, the company of Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Seo-jin.
