The band Jannabi came out to explain through SNS following the controversy over rude remarks made on the stage of the ‘Pentaport Rock Festival’ held at the Moonlight Festival Park in Songdo, Incheon.
According to the music industry on the 7th, Jannabi’s vocalist Choi Jeong-hoon said during the performance, “We started with the first order of the smallest stage as a pentaport super rookie in 2014 and have come this far. “He said.
The last runner and headliner (signboard performer) of the day was the American band Vampire Weekend, and Jannabi appeared right before him. They have grown to a level comparable to that of a headliner, and it was interpreted to mean that if they surpassed one team, they might become a signboard of the festival.
In the online space, critics flooded with criticism that it was rude remarks to fellow artists who went on stage together.
As the controversy grew, Jannabi took to the official Instagram account on the day following the performance, saying, “I mightn’t overcome the excitement because I was standing in front of the stage I dreamed of and a wonderful audience.
“I never meant that, but I didn’t realize that it might be seen that way,” he said.
