When DMs of protest from Korean and foreign netizens were poured out, Maria Travel finally apologized. The woman said on her Instagram story, “I’m not very good at English, but I will do my best to speak.”
“I want to apologize for what happened on the red carpet today. I want to apologize to Korean actress Lee Jieun (IU). It was my fault for pushing her. I sincerely apologize,” he continued.
MLB Park community members responded by commenting, “I think he did it on purpose”, “If it was a mistake, Westerners would immediately apologize”, “He intentionally hit Asians, but he seems to have come to his senses after seeing IU’s follower count” and “This is clearly racism.”
