In April's Inside Seventeen and Going Seventeen on the 13th, Seventeen's Wonwoo, Vernon and Dokyum were seen singing to Norazo's "Curry". The fans pointed out how racist Curry was and rose the controversy. The Indian fans have been requesting apologies from Norazo and Seventeen. In the end, Jobin released his apology:
"Norazo has no intentions of committing racism or religious mockery at all.
From what I've been informed by Indian fans today, 'Curry' is actually not a traditional Indian dish; the reason that Norazo worked on this song at the time was that while living in Korea, we were misinformed about the origins and history of 'Curry' and were led to believe that ''Curry' is a traditional Indian dish'. We did not check the facts before creating this song.
As a result, we did not realize that several words that we used in the song to accentuate the 'feel' of India were actually very spiritual and important words to the native speakers of this language. This is a clear wrongdoing of my own.
We only wanted to express through the song that 'Curry' is a delicious dish that any one can enjoy at any time, in Norazo's fun and unique style. I want to express that we had no intentions of degrading anyone, and no intentions of undermining anyone's country or that country's culture and traditions.
I vow to become a singer who creates songs based on correct information from now on. I want to relay my sincere apologies to those of you in India, across Southern Asia, etc for causing offense.
Finally, many hoobae idol singers are also still unaware of the offense that this song has caused. I sincerely hope that this song which began as a result of our ignorance toward other cultures and countries, will no longer cause damages to our respected hoobae artists, who are loved by so many people from nations around the world."

1. This makes me cringe to my core. Just don't fangirl on KPOP if you're going to be like this
2. Iroaches at it again
3. Norazo hit big!!!!!
4. F*ck Seventeen were the ones who sang it, why would they request an apology from Norazo? ㅋㅋㅋ
5. But my Indian friend's favorite Korean song is Norazo's Curry and they're also his favorite bandㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is seriously depends from person to person ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. So do Koreans consider foreigners singing to kimchi jjigae dancing with hanboks considered racist? They're just bullsh*tting
7. Wow f*ck what a tiring life they live. Norazo fighting
8. But didn't this song hit super big in India and Thailand? And Norazo even got famous from it? Why are they bullsh*tting all of a sudden?
9. There's even a Youtuber who showed this song to Indians and there was an Indian man who said that this song was fun, and there was an Indian woman who said that the clothes weren't Inidan... To be honest, I wouldn't we be pissed if another country wore a kimono and sang a kimchi song?
10. Iroaches will praise and forgive idols who have done crimes, yet they will complain on the most trivial things
