On the 10th, Tokyo Kyu-chan posted an apology video titled 'I'm sincerely sorry' on his channel.
In the released video, Tokyo Kyu-chan "I'm so sorry to the viewers who trusted me and watched the video. I took the video to apologize for the confusion and disappointment to many due to my lack of judgment,' he said.
He continued his activities without saying that he had returned to Korea. I applied for a visa because I wanted to take on a new challenge while living in Japan for 10 years, and I was eliminated. Once again, it was possible to apply for a visa, but I came to Korea as it was because my mental state was weak. I didn't speak without realizing it because I was afraid to announce it", he explained.
Then "But it was my wrong judgment without excuses. I'm also really sorry for the light-hearted speech, gestures, and responsibility transfer in the previous video. I will try to restore the lost trust. Once again, I sincerely apologize for the disappointment."

However, Tokyo Kyu-chan received a lot of criticism for not apologizing properly and shifting the responsibility by calling the visa examination staff 'mister' rather than repenting for lying to subscribers. In response, Tokyo Kyu-chan issued an apology, but even this mentioned legal action, adding to the controversy. In the end, Tokyo Kyu-chan made the first apology video private and posted the second apology video.
But the problem is not just deceiving people as if they were living in Japan. Tokyo Kyu-chan even published an e-book as if he were living in Japan and benefited from it. Of course, it is difficult to establish a crime of fraud because he filmed a video and published a book pretending to be a `local person' while traveling to Japan as a 'tourist' for a year and a half. However, if anyone purchases e-books because he is a local, he can be held liable for damages caused by false claims. In addition, acts that distort facts by deceiving key information could be subject to the Fair Trade Commission's investigation.
In response, netizens voiced their voices, saying, `We have to refund all books because we sold them by pretending to be in Japan.' Then Tokyo Kyu-chan 'I've been in Japan for 10 years and made a book of the honor, so why should I refund it. Did you buy my e-book?' he asked back.
