Kinoshita Yukina has posted an apology on Instagram for past DM’s that were posted towards a tapioca shop.

The DM’s were made before Kinoshita entered the entertainment world and involved her older sister and made comments that related to business.

While media have reported that Kinoshita and her family have attempted to make peace with the management, and media have investigated the disagreement and while it may have been  seen that Kinoshita posted to defend a family member, it also caused business to suffer.  And media are reporting that the business may take legal action.

Her management sent the following statement today, “Kinoshita Yukina is deeply reflecting on how she inconvenienced the other party, people concerned and the fans because of her behavior.  She is responding with sincerity and during this time, Kinoshita Yukina has decided to refrain from performing arts activities”.

Kinoshita released the following comment, “I am very sorry to bother those who were involved, other people and fans with my remarks.   Reflecting on what I have done, I am refraining from performing arts activities for the time being.  I would like to review my own self and apologize in good faith to the other party.  I am very sorry”.

Her management vowed, “We will re-examine our responsibilities as a talent management company and will do our best to prevent this from happening again in the future. As a result of various discussions with the people involved, we have determined to reach this decision.  We are very sorry for the inconvenience”.

Kinoshita has not posted or took part in SNS since her apology back in early October.

この度は、私の自己中心的な発言により、 相手の方、相手の関係者の方々に大変不快な思いをさせてしまい、 誠に申し訳ございませんでした。 私の発言は いくら大切な家族のための事とは言え一方的な凄く幼稚な発言だったと思います。 実の姉の事なので一時的に感情的になってしまいました。 非常に失礼な発言をした事をとても反省しております。 相手の方には、気持ちが伝わるまで、誠意を伝えたいと思います また、この報道を見て不愉快な思いをされた方、 本当に申し訳ございませんでした。 事務所にも大変迷惑をかけました。 改めまして、私の発言について、大変申し訳ございませんでした。 今後は自分の芸能人という立場をしっかりと考え、 発言には十分注意していきたいと思います。 そして、どんな時も　応援して支えてくれているファンの皆様、ごめんなさい。 2019/10/09　 木下優樹菜
