AceShowbiz - Hyunseung has spoken up about his attitude controversy that happened prior to his departure from Beast. A year after the controversy, the 27-year-old singer took to Instagram to apologize for his bad attitude on Monday, July 31.
"During the past seven years, as part of Beast before I left the group, I received a lot of love," he captioned a photo of a sunny sky. "Ever since I was a kid, I thought that the people who sing and dance on TV were really cool, so I embraced my big dream and trained for five years. Through a good opportunity, I was able to debut as a member of Beast with my members."
The "Troublemaker" hitmaker then talked about his failure to put the group above his personal affair. "After debuting, it seemed like I had achieved my dream, but while promoting there were things I was uncomfortable with. Rather than focusing on group promotions and building teamwork, I was stubborn about my own affairs," he continued. "The wall between me and the members built up slowly and instead of choosing harmony, I chose to grow distant."
"I slowly lost the ability to control myself and showed bad attitude in public, including on stage," he went on saying. "I thought that immature image of myself was me enjoying my youth. I thought all that was me being cool. Now that I look back on it, I am deeply regretful."
"I now understand how my carelessness and selfish decisions hurt other people so I really want to say I'm sorry to those people," he stated, before concluding, "I'm sorry."
Back in 2015, people started to notice that there was something wrong with Hyunseung after he decided to skip a fan meeting in order to hang out with a woman at a cafe. Shortly after that, he began missing more schedules and even spacing out during performances. In April 2016, he announced that he would be leaving Beast, months before the group left Cube Entertainment.
