“I'm sorry, Wang Hedi, and I also want to apologize to everyone affected by this incident.
Regarding the award name given to the mentor in the final episode, I thought of a joke we had on the show, "You're just Wang Hedi." The original intention of using this joke was that he could finally let go of his mentor identity and be himself again. Moreover, in my mind, the name Wang Hedi is synonymous with "all-around talent." Therefore, I neglected the mentor's feelings, and I apologize again.
I remember being asked a question during an interview, something like, "When do you think he's most like a manager?" I answered, "Every moment," and then explained my reasoning. I never meant to belittle any of my partners.
Let me explain the small group chat with a picture. The small group mentioned in the award speech was a joke; there wasn't one at the time. I created the real small group chat on February 13th. Its purpose was simply to book a screening of the host's new movie. I had informed Chen Xiao beforehand that I didn't want him to pay twice, but our booking was still done as a group.
I'm so happy to have spent this wonderful time with all my partners. I sincerely wish the show a happy ending.
