On the 21st, HenryŌĆÖs agency Monster Entertainment stated, ŌĆ£We apologize for causing concern with various misunderstandings, distorted rumors, and reports that are different from the facts surrounding the artist.ŌĆØ They added, ŌĆ£Henry expressed his feelings through Instagram. But weŌĆÖre sorry for causing confusion due to some inaccurate notation and unrefined expression.ŌĆØ Yesterday, while trying to explain his pro-China activities, including supporting the One-China policy and the continued historical distortion, Henry wrote, ŌĆ£The most hurtful part is that many are uncomfortable not because of my actions or words, but because of my bloodline.ŌĆØ He continued, ŌĆ£I just wanted to make people happy, but I donŌĆÖt know what to do if there are people who are upset because of my bloodline. IŌĆÖm sorry to my fans for not keeping my promise that IŌĆÖd always share good news and appear in my best self. IŌĆÖm so sorry.ŌĆØ However, soon the statement was engulfed in criticism for making Koreans out to be ŌĆ£racists,ŌĆØ not to mention the multiple misspelling and grammar errors. To which the agency responded, ŌĆ£He acted out of his hope to clear up the misunderstanding. As is widely known, Henry was educated and raised in Canada and has devoted his entire life to music. Because of it, he has flaws in many areas.ŌĆØ They added, ŌĆ£He thought being appointed the anti-bullying ambassador was a very meaningful activity of his career. However, we are sad and have a heavy heart because of the unexpected misunderstanding and negative public opinion about the artist.ŌĆØ Lastly, they added, ŌĆ£He has been working with the value of life in sharing good feelings and having fun with all people living at the same time, regardless of nationality. And he wonŌĆÖt stop believing in these values.ŌĆØ However, despite all the explanations, people believe that Henry is trying to return to Korea because the Chinese government is restricting the activities of foreign nationals or Taiwanese entertainers in the mainland.
