The girl group (G)I-DLE has apologized for wearing lifeguard outfits with unauthorized Red Cross emblems during a performance.

Cube Entertainment issued an official statement on July 22nd, saying, "We recognize the issue with (G)I-DLE's outfits during the 'Klaxon' performance on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' on July 19th. We have contacted the Korean Red Cross, apologized, and are actively discussing preventive measures and follow-up actions." They added, "We sincerely apologize to all parties inconvenienced by this incident."

(G)I-DLE performed their new song 'Klaxon' on 'Music Bank,' but controversy arose due to the lifeguard-themed outfits featuring the Red Cross emblem.

According to Article 25 of the Korean Red Cross Organization Act, the emblem cannot be used without the organization's approval. It appears that (G)I-DLE was unaware of this regulation during the performance.

Cube Entertainment Official Statement:

Hello,
This is Cube Entertainment.

We are addressing the issue regarding the outfits worn by (G)I-DLE during their 'Klaxon' performance on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' aired on July 19th.

We have recognized the problem with the stage outfits and have contacted the Korean Red Cross to apologize. We are actively cooperating to prevent recurrence and discussing follow-up measures.

We sincerely apologize to all parties inconvenienced by this matter.

We are always grateful for the immense support and interest from the fans for (G)I-DLE.

Thank you.
