These remarks led to unnecessary speculation and wasted public resources. For this, I sincerely apologise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added that he&#8217;d be &#8220;more careful with his words and actions going forward&#8221;, and asked the public to view &#8220;online comments rationally&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vic.chou_official\/p\/DSl2IfnCTYZ\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vic.chou_official\/p\/DSl2IfnCTYZ\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Breaking his silence<\/h2>\n<p>In early December, Ken confirmed his absence from the tour through a social media video, stating that the situation was &#8220;confusing&#8221; for him as he had only learnt about his exclusion from online reports.<\/p>\n<p>He also shared that he had rejected demands made by B&#8217;in Music, after which they &#8220;cut off all contact&#8221; with him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For this activity this time, I definitely won&#8217;t participate,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There&#8217;s some regret, but I must make it clear to everyone here.
