CIX's Bae Jin Young addressed his recent bullying controversy in the acceptance speech at the 'Hanteo Music Awards.' [Correction: CIX member Kim Seung Hun addressed Bae Jin Young's recent bullying controversy in the acceptance speech.]

On February 11th, day 2 of the 'Hanteo Music Awards' was held at the Jamsil Arena in Seoul. On this day, CIX won the post generation award and gave an acceptance speech. During the speech, Kim Seung Hun said, "Us 5 members are really close friends, and we're working hard towards one dream. I'd appreciate it if you could give us a lot of support and love", addressing the recent bullying controversy surrounding member Bae Jin Young. 

Previously, Bae Jin Young became wrapped up in rumors that he was being bullied by fans as well as his group members. Afterward, CIX's agency released a statement to deny any bullying accusations and warned legal action against those who posted the initial, maliciously edited videos.

But the issue gained new attention when Bae Jin Young's former group mate from his Wanna One days, Kim Jae Hwan, took to his Instagram story to express his apparent frustration over the controversy.
