On the January 25th broadcast of 'Human Documentary', Shannon introduced Dani as her label mate and friend since their trainee days as she shared, "Dani was not fluent in Korean at all at first so it was like looking at a mirror. That is why I wanted to take care of her more and approached her first in English."

Dani shared during her interview, "[Shannon] helps me a lot. If it wasn't for Shannon unni, I think I would've been very lonely... I think I would've really been an outcast." Although her comment seemed heartwarming and sincere, netizens flocked to her Instagram and more with criticisms for possibly alluding to the T-ara bullying scandal through which Hwayoung received attention and ultimately left the group for allegedly being an outcast, creating confusion that Dani might have followed in the same route if it wasn't for Shannon. 

Dani took to her Instagram to apologize and to make clear that there may have been some misinterpretation because of her not-so-fluent Korean speaking skills and there was no harmful intent. Dani apologized on her Instagram on the 25th, "For people that cant read in korean...... i am very sorry to my t ara unnies...??....and shannon for saying something like that but i never meant to hurt anyones feelings and i didnt mean to hurt any fans and its just because of my korean....im not very good with korean..but...i never meant it in that way...i hope everybody understands and please keep supporting and loving t ara and shannon... and i am very sorry to shannon and t ara ..."
