After raising anger among K-Pop fans, Lee Se Young has finally spoken up to apologize about her behavior on "SNL Korea." However, fans are still not happy as the comedian seemingly apologized to one group only.

In a handwritten apology posted on Instagram, it looks like Lee is only apologizing to B1A4, which infuriated more fans who thought the comedian should also be sorry for what she has done to INFINITE and Block B, Allkpop noted.

"I apologized to each member on site, and I want to apologize once again to all the fans and the members through this letter. I will reflect on my actions again and again so something like this does not happen again. I really am sincerely sorry," Lee wrote.

The "SNL Korea" comedian also captioned her post, "I don't know how to express just how sorry I am."

Meanwhile, angry fans are slamming Lee for her act towards the boy groups during their guesting on "SNL Korea." Some of them are even asking the show's producers to fire the comedian after the sexual assault controversy.

In fact, there have been rumors claiming Lee will be leaving "SNL Korea" after the controversy with B1A4. However, a content producer of the show revealed they have yet to come up with a decision about the matter, Soompi cited.

"We haven't discussed Lee Se Young leaving the show. The report is false. However, regarding the recent controversy, the entire production staff and cast are deeply apologetic," Ahn Sang Hwi said.

According to B1A4, the incident on "SNL Korea" happened too quickly that they did not even had the time to react. The members revealed they had to watch the video again to see what really happened, and thought it would make the fans worry.

Despite the sexual assault controversy on "SNL Korea," B1A4 promised they will intensify the promotions of their newest album "Good Timing."
