The band’s apology comes after they were reportedly rude towards the audience during their recent performance.
Furthermore, the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival was held from 5th August to 7th August.
The line-up included Crying Nut, Jaurim, Se So Neon, Nell, Vampire Weekend, Japanese Breakfast, Mogwai as well as Jannabi.
However, several attendees have claimed that Jannabi’s Choi Jung-hoon, Kim Do-Hyung, and Jang Kyung-Joon passed some rude comments during their sub-headlining act on 6th August.
According to reports, the band made remarks at the expense of the US rock band Vampire Weekend, who were slated to perform their headlining act right after Jannabi’s gig.
The members of the band allegedly said during the event, ‘We started off in 2017 as the Pentaport super rookies. And we were the very first act on the tiniest stage. But little by little, we made it all the way here. The hurdle was not too far away.’
They continued, ‘We don’t even know who the next band is.’
The artists also encouraged the crowd to leave before the next act.
They supposedly pointed out, ‘Go home now, everyone. We’re going to play [our song] ‘Come Back Home,’ and then we’re going to leave.’
