Actor Lee Seo Han has issued a second apology after stirring up controversy with his recent SNS post.

On May 1, the actor's Instagram story update revealed footage shot in what many believed to be musician Bang Ye Dam's work studio. The footage featured two individuals, seemingly engaged in sexual activity, covered with an emoticon. Some also alleged that the footage may have been filmed without consent.

When the post brewed controversy online, Lee Seo Han apologized on May 2, stating, "The video posted yesterday was a joke between male friends. I apologize to Bang Ye Dam and his fans for the fact that the video was filmed in Bang Ye Dam's studio. Please do not misunderstand or make unnecessary speculations about the video. I apologize to those who were concerned after seeing the footage. I will be more careful."

However, the controversy did not die down with Lee Seo Han's first apology, and on May 3, the actor relayed, "I kept my apology and explanation brief out of fear and regret, but it seems that it has led to even more controversy, and so I am writing to address the issue again. Some friends and I who are close frequently visit Bang Ye Dam's studio to listen to music, watch movies, and drink. The other day, five of us gathered for drinks, and a little after midnight, Bang Ye Dam and one of our friends left after getting drunk. I was left with the others and continued to drink, and we followed the recent trend of making a set up video, thinking to post in on my private account, but it was accidentally posted on my public story. It was not filmed illegally."

Lee Seo Han continued, "As someone who dreamt of becoming of actor, I would like to sincerely apologize for my immaturity which stirred up this controversy. I express my apologies toward all those who felt discomfort because of the video, and to my fans who cherish me, and I will make sure to act with caution from now on."
