Yoon Suh In, artist/creator of the SNSD Sextoon, has deleted the cartoon and officially apologized.

"This cartoon was drawn as a direct interpretation of news stories that were written about how girl groups are often used to fish for fans via sex appeal. But my intentions were misrepresented by the news reports that were released about my cartoon, so it is better off that it is removed. My intentions were not expressed properly and it is my fault. I'm sorry about the scandal that has risen because of this and I would also like to express my apologies to everyone who has seen this cartoon."
