Donnie Yen Apologizes for "Excessive Showmanship" at Event

Recently, Donnie Yen's appearance at an event raised eyebrows for what some called "excessive showmanship," sparking controversy.

Today, Donnie Yen himself responded to the issue, revealing that he had never requested such grand arrangements and expressing a reluctance to blame the security personnel. "I believe they are hardworking individuals," he said. "Blame me and my team instead." He extended his apologies to friends affected by the incident and thanked netizens for their constructive criticism.

"I appreciate the concern of many friends.

I attended a brand event in Los Angeles recently, and the security-related arrangements made everyone uncomfortable.

When I arrived at the scene, I was also surprised by the extravagant setup. In truth, we had never requested such arrangements. However, after feedback and communication, we were informed that these measures were taken for safety reasons, and we had no choice but to proceed.

I want to thank all the friends who criticized this 'showmanship.' Like you, I'm not pleased with the photos and videos depicting the situation. I understand why there has been such a strong reaction.

However, I've seen some people blaming the security personnel. I believe they are hardworking individuals. So, when reflecting on this matter, please direct your criticism toward me and my team. We have already discussed with the organizers how to prevent such issues in the future.

Here, I apologize to those who were inconvenienced and made to feel uncomfortable in Los Angeles on that day. I appreciate netizens' willingness to offer constructive feedback, which will make me and my team more cautious in our future work arrangements.

Once again, thank you all.

Donnie Yen"
