Netizens expressed offense at the K-pop idol's alleged lack of cultural sensitivity for those who belong to the African American culture, Kpopstarz reported.

For his part, GOT7's Jackson defended himself by explaining that he meant no disrespect for the culture in sporting dreadlocks, and said that he used the hairstyle to celebrate the culture. "I made the decision (to wear dreadlocks) because I was too in love with the culture. No matter if it's music wise, people, background or anything, and I truly respect it with my heart. It's a complete misunderstanding," he said.
