On September 9th, Swings posted a short comment on Facebook, "At Gapyong," along with a video in whichC Jamm and Swings are on their knees at the edge of the swimming pool while Giriboy is standing over them with his hand posed as a gun. When Giriboy pulls the trigger, both C Jamm and Swings fall lifelessly into the pool. The video ends with both C Jamm and Swings' bodies floating in the swimming pool.

Netizens immediately reacted negatively towards the video, commenting that it was too similar to the recent viral videos of ISIS executing journalists as well as the Christian purging executions. Just Music responded, "We didn't intend on parodying terrorist execution scenes."
However, because the parody video was too similar to the actual ISIS execution videos to the viewers, Swings and the others were inevitably criticized for their lack of empathy toward the events that were going on. Netizens also added that it was too soon after the Ladies' Code's accident for them to be releasing such a video.
An associate who is part of the music industry commented, "Swings' actions were beyond what can be excused as 'an immature act'. If someone who had a family member executed by rebels were to see this video, they would lament while pounding on their chest. Also, as everyone is still grieving Ladies' Code's tragic accident, his actions were very thoughtless."
