The following is the full text of the office's position.

Hello.
Cre.ker entertainment.
First of all, we apologize for the concern that many people are experiencing difficulties due to the COVID-19 virus.

Eric was unable to comply with his obligations when COVID-19 made it mandatory to wear a mask.

We deeply regret his misbehavior, and we also deeply apologize for the lack of control, albeit in private time.

It was confirmed that the video at the bowling alley that appeared recently was taken by a friend who was with him when accompanied by two friends from high school in mid-November, and posted it on SNS. Found that the video was saved and reworked then uploaded by another person.

Aside from the facts mentioned above, Eric and our mistake was obvious, and we will put more effort into artist management to prevent this from happening in the future.
We will also do our best to stay a little more rigorous during these difficult times and to comply with COVID-19-related guidelines and precautionary rules.

However, we hope that you will stop distributing other misleading photographs and videos, and please refrain from related speculation.

We are continuing to collect data and legally consider the mass production of malicious hoaxes that are not true, and we have strengthened the protection support system of artists for strong countermeasures, and we have strengthened the protection support system of artists, and the message of unreasonable malignancy We would like to inform you that we will take a more proactive response to the bulletin board and hoax generators.

We hope that this will inform you that you can take legal action against the act of posting or forwarding unconfirmed false facts and hoaxes.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you very much.
