The rookie girl group 'Baby Don't Cry' has issued an apology regarding the controversy over the suggestive content in their music video teaser and has decided to remove the problematic scenes.

P Nation stated on their social media on the 22nd, "We have acknowledged the concerns and controversies raised about 'Baby Don't Cry's debut title track 'F Girl' music video teaser."

The teaser featured candy packaging reminiscent of contraceptive devices and spilled cherry juice on a rug resembling women's products, raising concerns about suggestiveness and the presence of underage members.

The agency first apologized, stating, "We sincerely apologize to anyone who felt discomfort or concern due to the video."

Regarding 'F Girl,' they explained, "It carries a message of 'please look at me as I am and understand me,' free from the standards set by others."

They continued, "The first scene of the teaser was intended to depict a rebellious yet cheerful setting, expressing actions like 'chewing gum' and 'sucking on candy.' There is no suggestive direction in the overall flow."

Nevertheless, they decided to remove the scenes from the main content in order to eliminate misunderstandings and controversies, adding, "This is to protect the members and respect the valuable opinions of fans."

Concerning the cherry, which symbolizes Baby Don't Cry, they explained, "The cherry was chosen as a symbol because its small yet intense color aligns with the members' images." They clarified that there was no intention to convey a negative meaning. "(Cherries) are used with a positive image even by global brands. Negative associations were never considered during the planning process," they emphasized.

Finally, they stated, "The members are the most precious, deserving of protection. We sincerely hope that the sweat they have shed is fully communicated and that their dreams shine."
