Henry (32) has apologized over 'pro China' scandal.
On the 19th, Henry posted on his Instagram and stated, "I'm sorry if I did something wrong with my actions or words. I'm someone that tried to give people joy and laughter but it's so heartbreaking that I can no longer do that these days. What I want to say is, I'm not the type to ever forget something. These days, if you travel somewhere, due to covid, you're required to quarantine there for a while so I'm sorry about that. I wanted to see you all."
"There are too many false facts on YouTube and articles these days. I never thought people would really believe such things so I didn't say anything and kept quiet. But now, when I meet people in person, it appears that they really believed it and I realized how serious it was. It's even on official news channels now. I think many public figures including myself have suffered similar damage."
"What really hurts is that I learned while reading the comments that it isn't because of my actions or what I said but because of my blood. What I want to do is make people laugh. If there are people who are uncomfortable with my blood, I really don't know what to do. I'm sorry to the fans because I made a promise to always say nice things and show you my good side but I couldn't keep that promise."
Meanwhile, Chinese-Canadian Henry is currently under controversy over his "pro china" actions.
- [+3,633, -84] It's not because of your blood, it's your attitude!!
- [+1,738, -44] He has the blood of a Taiwanese and Hong Kong-er but he's been supporting One China and defending everything China but he's blaming his blood on it now?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ그. He's basically asking the Chinese to curse at us because we're calling him outㅋㅋ.
- [+688 -19] He's a Hong Kong-Taiwanese but he supports one China ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+509, -13] So he's putting down Korea to suck up to China blaming it on his blood? F*ck off to your country!!
- [+394, -58] Ah, this jjangkae is quite "emotional"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+222, -6] It has always been because of your actions, not nationality. When you were active in Korea, you were loved because of your pure and bright image, irregardless of your nationality. We're angry now because you chose China and threw us out!
- [+215, -7] No matter how ignorant you are about politics and the world, your father is a Hong Kong-er and your mother is Taiwanese, does it make sense to support one China? The public is disappointed because it's clear your chose money over your morals. I used to look at you positively but no more. You're nothing but another Steve Yoo ba$tard, good bye!
- [+180, -2] Henry-ssi, we already knew you were a Chinese when you were loved and popular in our country. So why all of a sudden are you blaming it on your blood? The problem isn't your blood but your attitude!!
- [+136, -2] Mapo police have lost their mentals too, no? Does it make sense to choose this pro-China ba$tard as an anti-bully ambassador at a time when anti-Chinese sentiment is at an all time high??
- [+98, -1] ?? What kind of entitlement is this? Blood? It's because of what you chose to say on SNS. You chose to agree with One China when they're threatening Taiwan with war.
- [+42, -3] I used to think he had some Korean blood in him but now its clear there is none. Let's support our own celebrities who are struggling right now.
- [+35, -2] So why become an ambassador then?
