Ravi, we expected you to do music not harass others

   Sensual songs and sexual harassment are very close. Ravi failed to distinguish them and became a rapper who did sexual harassment. Singers have freedom to make a sensual song. But, in case it targets particular person, it is not a song but sexual harassment.
   Ravi was embroiled in controversy of sexual harassment with his own song, ‘RED VELVET’ that was included in his new album, ROSES’ that released on 3rd, June. This is the song that was made while saying that "Because this song reminds the girl group ‘Red Velvet’, let’s make this song interestingly."

'Feels like swimming in the chocolate', 'Time goes too fast to be sharp in mistakes’
‘I can’t suppress anymore. Stop TESTing me / I TAKE A BITE OUT OF A RED VELVET/ Bite out bigger'
'DRIP! Dangerous put on your hat deeply / FLIP BABE Turn back and turn your back on me BABE
/ Don’t leave me and yourself in a sealed place'
'R.E.D.V.E.L.V.E.T SO SWEAT BABE/ R.E.D.V.E.L.V.E.T DELICIOUS'
'RUSSIAN ROULETTE/ NO one can replace the stimulation, you 
/ DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB' 
(Some parts in lyrics of ‘RED VELVET’ that became the controversy)

   Ravi brought up the image of the girl group ‘Red Velvet’ by using members’ names like Soo Yeong(swimming, JOY’s real name), YERI(to be sharp) and also Red Velvet’’s song ‘RUSSIAN ROULETTE’,  Dumb Dumb’. Moreover, he used words of ‘drip’, ‘flip’, ‘sweat’ and do on that used in sexual meaning in POP. It has sexual intentions obviously and the word are even undisguised. RAVI’s ‘Red Velvet’ was definitely sexual harassment without any doubt.
   Because of this lyrics, Red Velvet’ became the victim of sexual harassment even they have no relationship with Ravi. In case of such songs, it has a chance to cause secondary violence not being end up as just a controversy. So it was natural to fans of Red Velvet’ got angry.  

   Ravi released the official statement in the afternoon on 4th and admitted his fault fast and apologized. And also, he said he will remove the problematic song. Ravi said "To my shame, while making the song, I didn’t realize that many people can feel uncomfortable with this lyrics.". How careless! He’s lack of gender sensitization.
   Let me ask Ravi. Did you feel fun while writing the lyrics? Didn’t you think it will be a controversy despite you released this song that has intentional meaning. If so, it’s time to think carefully about Ravi’s ability and the future of GROOVL1N that Ravi leads. If there are no staffs to judge and check whether it is problematic, GROOVL1N is an agency that in a lot of lack.
   Ravi said that "When I write lyrics, I put my story in it like reading books.”  Ravi should widen his knowledge more before he writes lyrics like reading books. If Ravi wants to become a singer with both of sense and musicality, he needs to build up his basic knowledge more.
