Jun Hyun Moo apologizes for the way he treated Kang Ho Dong at the '2015 SBS Entertainment Awards'

Kang Ho Dong, Jun Hyun Moo

The '2015 SBS Entertainment Awards' was supposed to be a night of celebration of the best in entertainment, and it was, except for a controversy that arose regarding one of the MCs Jun Hyun Moo.


Jun Hyun Moo interviewed Kang Ho Dong as he was one of the nominees for the Daesang. The interview was quite candid as they joked with one another, but it appears that many netizens were not happy with the way Jun Hyun Moo treated Kang Ho Dong.


You can see in their interview segment below that Kang Ho Dong started off laughing, and joked about being 'fat'.�


Jun Hyun Moo asked, "What activity have you done this year?" Netizens took this as Jun Hyun Moo insinuating that Kang Ho Dong did not have much activity this year.


Kang Ho Dong also said, "My hands are sweating."

Jun Hyun Moo replied, "Really? It's because you're fat." and they both laughed.


Netizens did not like how Jun Hyun Moo joked about Kang Ho Dong's physique at the awards ceremony.


Jun Hyun Moo took to his Instagram to apologize to everyone, as he wrote:


This morning after I finished my radio [broadcast] I thoroughly read the comments you all wrote regarding yesterday night's SBS 'Entertainment Awards'. I found out that many people felt offended with how I interviewed Daesang nominee Kang Ho Dong.�
What's even more shameful is that before you all pointed this out to me, I did not even know the severity of what I did.�

I was unable to differentiate my personal life from my work life and with the one reason that he is my close hyung, I had a momentary lapse of memory that you all were watching the broadcast.�
I admit that I carelessly crossed the line.
And I am writing a deep letter of apology. As you all pointed out to me, I just had a phone conversation with Ho Dong hyung [Kang Ho Dong] and told him of my thoughtless mistake and apologized.
I am so thankful that Kang Ho Dong told me it wasn't a big deal at all and instead 'patted my shoulder' [encouraged] me.
But however the other person [Kang Ho Dong] may feel, it was still a thoughtless mistake without excuse or leeway.
From now on, I will be more mature and careful on broadcast. I do a lot of broadcast activities, and yet it appears that I am still very lacking.�
I am hosting another big awards ceremony tonight. I will show a different side of myself.�
I sincerely thank everyone for not holding back with the 'harsh words' and criticism. Thank you.
