[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Amid controversy over singer and TV personality Haha and Skull’s appearance at the Miryang Water Festival—held during a severe drought—the two issued an apology and announced their intention to donate their entire performance fees.

Their agency, Kwon Entertainment, issued an official statement on the 7th, bowing their heads and saying, “We sincerely apologize to the citizens and officials of Miryang who are suffering from the severe drought.”
The two took the stage at the “2026 Miryang Super Festival” held that day. However, criticism mounted as the large-scale water festival proceeded as scheduled despite Miryang being at the “severe” level—the highest stage of emergency response for agricultural water—due to record-breaking heatwaves and drought.
In response, their agency expressed concern about proceeding with the event but explained, “We were in a situation where we had to fulfill our legal obligations under an existing contract, so their participation in the performance was unavoidable.”
Haha and Skull decided to donate their entire performance fees to support drought relief efforts. Their agency stated, “We hope this will contribute, even in a small way, to helping Miryang overcome the drought and provide tangible assistance to the citizens,” adding, “We will do our best to help everyone get through this difficult time together.”
