As controversies and speculations continued to spread, Lee Seohan wrote a second clarification on the morning of the 3rd, stating, "I feel scared and sorry for not speaking up earlier. I realized that made things worse. However, I have gathered the courage to post again."
He continued, "I often hang out with other close friends at Bang Yedam's studio, where we sometimes listen to music, watch movies, and have drinks. Yesterday, 5 of us gathered for drinks, and after midnight, Bang Yedam and a friend who had drunk too much went home." He explained, "The rest of us were having another drink. We reenacted a situation that we often see these days, filmed it, and I posted it on my private account. However, it got posted on my public account." He emphasized, "It was not filmed through hidden camera or anything like that."
He sincerely apologized, saying, "As someone aspiring to be an actor, I deeply apologize for causing controversy with my immature behavior." He expressed his heartfelt apologies to everyone who felt uncomfortable due to the video and to his supportive fans, promising to be more cautious in the future. "I apologize once again."
-These days, is the trend to film those kinds of videos?
-What are you talking about, something that's commonly done these days?
-Something that's commonly done these days? Where on earth are they doing that stuff?
-This should be investigated
-Even if it's just a joke among yourselves, if you post it on social media, it's not just a joke anymore...
-Excuse me, please undergo a police investigation...
-Ugh, disgusting.
-Is he crazy?
-Shouldn't he go to the police for this? Is a written apology enough? I'm genuinely baffled.
-How can we believe it's staged...? Seems like an investigation is needed, ugh.
-Shouldn't they be going to the police instead of just apologizing?
-Since there are no victims, he probably can't be sued, but can't this be reported? Even if it's a joke, he might face legal consequences, right?
-Isn't this like Jung Joon Young 2.0?
-Go to the police station and get investigated.
-If you're innocent, go get investigated.
-This isn't immaturity, it's illegal
-He's saying he's posting these staged situation videos, which are common these days, on a private account...? If there's no problem with these common staged videos, why post them on a private account?
