"Sorry if I missed you! I tried to sign as many autographs as I could, but time was just too short. I really hope we can meet again next time!"

Fans Remain Divided Over the Response

The apology quickly drew mixed reactions. Some netizens felt the message was too vague and did not directly address the racism allegations, saying it lacked sincerity and failed to acknowledge the concerns that had been raised.

"I appreciate the statement and understand these events operate on a strict timeline. While I hold no malice, I trust myself and my experience. The interaction gave me all the clarity I needed regarding where to invest my energy and support moving forward. I wish everyone the best, and hope we all commit to treating ourselves and one another with respect and dignity."
