Yoon Kye Sang clarifies his statement about G.O.D

Yoon Kye Sang

Yoon Kye Sang had recently caused an uproar among G.O.D fans after he was quoted in a magazine interview saying, "I had to go about doing G.O.D activities even though I wasn't very willing". He has now released a new statement clarifying his stand about G.O.D to his fans to quell the situation. Yoon Kye Sang wrote on his fan cafe, "Misunderstandings and truths develop accordingly as to how that particular person interprets the situation. I, Yoon Kye Sang, was once a member of G.O.D. Those valuable memories of doing activities while being a member of G.O.D will stay with me till the day I die."

Yoon Kye Sang had expressed previously in a magazine interview, "When I was with G.O.D, I wasn't particularly keen on doing all those performances as a singer. But I had to do it in the end, even if I was unwilling, because my family wasn't that well-off and I had to earn money for a living." Fans got pretty upset after they saw that interview and Yoon Kye Sang had to quickly step in and claim that he was just trying to express that his perspective was different from the other members, there was no other meaning to it, and hopes that fans will not read it in a negative way.

Not sure if Yoon Kye Sang did the right thing because it seems like he is trying to distance himself from the other G.O.D members even more. I am not particularly familiar with G.O.D (Groove Over Dose) but I do know that when Kim Tae Woo released his comeback digital single, Memory & Remembrance recently, Danny Ahn, Son Ho Young and Park Joon Hyung all contributed in some way or another except for Yoon Kye Sang who was probably busy with his acting career to squeeze out any time.

it’s so sad. i always thought g.o.d. was a 4 member group. who knew they really had 5 at one time?

well, if he did it to take care of his family, fans shouldn’t be so upset, right? :3

It is disappointing that he thought of it as an obligation especially since GOD brought me into the kpop world but since it is his opinion, there isn’t much fans can do about it.

I just hope he doesn’t regret his whole GOD career.

It’s disappointing that he thinks of his career with GOD as this way.. but I guess sometimes it’s really the truth. Singers are forced to perform even if they don’t want to just because of money. I hope he has a happier career now… and I also hope he would join the other members in their reunions!

Why would the fans get mad? He needed to make a living and take care of his family so he got himself a job that paid but didn’t like it entirely. Now that he found st that hes good at and love doing, fans should be happy for him.

i love GOD ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥  wherever he did it 4 his family and its his opinion ,  but i think it will affect his career >>>

 
no avatar

maybe it wasn’t exactly what he wanted to do but he should still remember and even be grateful for his time in g.o.d. i think that he wouldn’t be where he is today without them.

G.O.D debuted with 5 memebers under JYP’s and Sidus’s label, they’ve always been a 5 member group until Yoon Kyesang left to to pursue a acting career. G.O.D ALWAYS had a 5th member, they debuted in 1999 and became one of Korea’s most popular groups, 2nd only to the legendary H.O.T.

The group released over 7 albums and Yoon Kyesang was absent for the 6th and 7th.

yea… fans have known this for awhile but it’s not a big deal ‘cause we’ll always remember them as a complete group, neh? The stuff that they’re doing now are more of their solo abilities and I’m sure that while YKS remembers his past fondly, he’s ready to move on and doesn’t want to be known as an oldie Idol any longer you know??
in the end, GOD was awesome but… we just have to let go lmfao.

He didn’t put his band down. He only expressed that being in a band and being a singer weren’t what he wanted to do. Whats the big deal?

I’m extremely disappointed he said that.  When I watched their old shows and performances, it truly felt like he really enjoyed being with the members and performing their awesome songs (like Gil and Lies). He was also my favorite member.  I had this idea that he wanted to distance himself from the other members, but I didn’t want to become aware of it.  I know that this was his decision but it still makes me a bit upset.

wait. yoon kye sung was in g.o.d?? HAHAHAHA! Shows how much i know. h.o.t and g.o.d waasn’t my era, i was still like. .8 or 9 when they came out. -___- wasn’t into kpop yet at the time. but i do know son ho young, danny ahn and kim tae woo were from g.o.d. anyway, i don’t think saying that was such a brilliant idea. but i guess he just wanted to come clean. lol.

I really loved G.O.D earlier albums especially ‘lies’ and those MV’s with Shin Mina & Jo Insung + some cha tae hyun. and also MV ‘mother’ with Jang Hyuk. oh how i miss them so much. even though i’m also sad that YKS felt that way but nevertheless still love him anyway. i only wished they stayed like SHINHWA or even still be frens like H.O.T

I heard YKS wanted to be in a rock group, but while he was a trainee his agency decided to put him in G.O.D. Which I think was a good idea because they became so popular.

I understand him.  g.o.d. was good but it wasn’t known for its bromances.  look at their “leader,” who basically left the group because of a girl and only came back when they broke up.  Plus, its unrealistic to believe that when you put 5 random people together that they will be bff’s.  I love that Kyesang finally said something that I’m sure alot of members of boybands feel.

I can’t believe kids are posting “Who?” to Yoon Kyesang or even G.O.D for that matter. It’s kind of sad, because G.O.D’s music was some of the best stuff at the time and I still listen to their tracks nowadays. They’re amazing performers. Yoon Kyesang, is a great actor though, I really miss him in G.O.D but like honestly if it wasn’t his passion you can’t expect him to pursue it. I’m pretty sure he made a lot of happy and sad memories with the group, it’s expected.

Being a celebrity, he should know by now how to word things and what not to say. Of course saying something like that will cause misunderstandings.

@DUMBO g.o.d was WELL known for their bromance, i think one of their reasons for being so popular was because ppl loved their personalities within the group and everything.

but everyone knows yoon kyesang always wanted to be an actor in the first place anyway, it was his first dream apparently. his statement was probably just mis-interpreted.

 
WoAiNiHaru's avatar

Ah.. it’s rather depressing that he thought of his career as something he didnt look foward to, to be a member of G.O.D. as an obligation. :/

Yoon KyeSang <3333

 
no avatar

a lot of people do things because they are forced to
yea, g.o.d. was one of the main reasons i started getting into kpop and yoon kye sang was my favorite member but still. cut the guy some slack, he’s probably not the only one who feels this way.

 
LL's avatar

its kinda sad that the thinks that way. but, at least he gets to do what he wants to do now =)
i guess since hes no longer gonna be going back to G.O.D., he feels fine saying it. lol it doesn’t really matter to me cause he’s happy acting and he shouldn’t be forced to do something he doesn’t if he doesn’t have to lol >.<

 
zakiya's avatar

This kinda made me feel bad for the guy…everyone’s against him

 
orenjilover's avatar

i Love G.O.D, I love Yoon Kye Sung.. i think that he wanted to be an actor more than a singer even when he debuted with his group.
