"Due to subjectivity, Nghia made a mistake. Even if the car reached the place where it had just been honked and the traffic light was ringing, even if it had not been allowed for even 1 second, it was still wrong.
Nghia had accepted to get in that car, even though he didn't know where to go, it was still wrong. Once again, Nghia would like to sincerely apologize to you," Dai Nghia said.
He said he had received an apology and correction letter from the film crew of Am Duong Lo. However, the actor also admitted his mistakes and his subjectivity.
"The reason why no one wondered is because they thought the film crew had been filming this car for a long time, so of course they knew how to ask for permission at this event. I came to an event that was so grand, I thought everything had to be permitted and approved.
Nghia was wrong to be subjective in this matter, leading to the incident where Nghia and the actors got in the car to appear at the event as everyone had seen," he said.
