JUST FOCUS Entertainment has shared an official statement apologizing for an insensitive video that was posted to GENUS’ social media accounts.
According to the original discussion on r/kpop, the clip showed one of the group’s members dancing to an audio track that repeatedly used the N-word.
The video has since been removed from the group’s accounts. The label’s statement described the audio as having been “interpreted as racially offensive,” an explanation that drew sharp responses from netizens.
Reaction in the thread was split. One commenter wrote, “Burn the whole label to the ground,” while another struck a more measured tone: “i genuinely think he wasn’t aware that the sound was racist. it doesn’t matter though and i’m glad they removed the video.”
For anyone still catching up, another commenter summarized the situation plainly: “For anyone wondering, one of the members was dancing to an audio that included the n word.”
No further details about internal disciplinary measures were included in the materials available. What happens next will likely depend on how the label follows through after the apology.
