They continued, "This incident has nothing to do with the personal political inclinations or intentions of the cast members; it is a problem that occurred because the production team failed to review it carefully during the video production process," and added, "We are also very sorry for causing unnecessary misunderstandings and burdens to the cast members as a result."
