Lee Jong Suk apologized on his fan cafe on the 28th with a post titled, 'letter of apology', sharing, "With my schedule finished, I was able to finally get a grasp of the situation. First off, I am very very sorry and I apologize for shocking you... I feel like my words and actions up until now have become contradictions so I am very sad and I am scared that my future actions will appear as lies in your eyes."

"Whatever the case, although I have no right to try to explain myself as it is completely my fault, I thought that I should at least explain to my fans... First off, since I am the main product of the agency, I am normally excessively guarded and protected and that has concerned me a lot as well. And while adjusting my recent Hong Kong schedule, there was a bit of trouble."

"I didn't see the fan [who was trying to give me a present] so when someone pulled my arm, I thought that it was of course my manager and pulled my arm away, but it was a fan. There were a lot of reporters there too so I also got flustered and couldn't hide my expressions. It seemed like the fan was one I hadn't met before so I am very very sorry and it's all my fault. I will do better in the future," he wrote, thereby explaining the situation and also apologizing to not just the fan cafe but the specific fan in the video as well.
