It was recently made public that former Teen Top member CAP (real name Bang Min Soo) has revealed that he was verbally attacked by U-KNOW (real name Jung Yun Ho), a senior K-pop group TVXQ member.
CAP uploaded a video titled “The Reason Why Images Are Important” on his YouTube channel last December.
He began by saying, “It’s not good to be excessively apathetic about everything, but it’s also not good to be too passionate about everything. I want to take him as an example to illustrate this point.”
The ‘him’ that CAP referred to was U-KNOW from TVXQ. He elaborated, “Before he was criticized, the character he aimed for was something like a passionate and upright guy. However, I think it’s not good to be too extreme. This applies the same whether you are a public figure or not.”
CAP claimed, “He is indeed very passionate. Being passionate by himself is no problem, but certain passions of his also harm others.”
He continued, “In case of rehearsals, it’s okay to take it easy. You can’t give it your all everywhere. The total amount of energy a person can use in a day varies for everyone,” recalling his time during Teen Top.
He added, “He has a lot of energy, so he insists others match his energy levels. We were in totally different and unrelated groups. I took it easy during rehearsals. Then he sarcastically commented, ‘I guess you are doing well these days.'”
He said, “I was scolded a few times too. Back then, I was changing clothes on a dark stage. I have poor eyesight, so I didn’t say hello to him. He swore at me for not greeting, saying, ‘That XX didn’t even greet me.'”
He also pointed out that U-KNOW smoked in the broadcasting station’s bathroom and emphasized, “If you want to correct and scold others, you should also be upright. Lazy people harm themselves, but passionate people harm those around them.”
U-KNOW’s side still needs to respond to CAP’s statements.
Meanwhile, CAP left Teen Top last May and engages in individual activities through platforms like YouTube.
