First and foremost, I'm a person who really like games, and as a public figure, I think uploading a video of an illegally downloaded game was very irresponsible, and to those users who use the original product and to others who felt offended, I apologize!! I will continue to be careful in many areas, and try to be Chanyeol who respects the original product!!"
