It is not an illegally filmed video of any kind. I sincerely apologize for my immature behavior as someone who dreams of becoming an actor. I apologize to those who were uncomfortable with the video and to the fans who support me. I will act carefully in the future. I apologize once again.” With the apology all good and well, for something that in my opinion may have been harmless fun.
