In response to a reporter’s question, he explained saying, “Amidst issues related to my personal life, various posts were posted on social networking services (SNS) against my will at the time, and I got into trouble.”
He went on to add that instead of answering each question individually, “I thought it would be best to remain silent and deal with the resulting criticism.”
He also addressed the criticism he received for being a caddy at a golf event. He stated that attending the Masters allowed him to carefully consider public criticism and reflect on himself.
Lastly, the first episode of his upcoming show, The 8 Show, is set to air on May 17.
