She said, "Many people told me in the comments, so I only realized it now," and emphasized, "I was also quite shocked and have now removed all likes from related posts."

Haezzu is an influencer with about 840,000 subscribers on her personal YouTube channel. She communicates with subscribers through her personal YouTube channel and social media, drawing attention.
Meanwhile, she faced criticism for liking tribute videos to Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on the 10th (local time). Charlie Kirk was a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump and is known as a far-right political commentator in the United States. In particular, during his life he downplayed victims by saying that "even if some sacrifices occur every year, it is a reasonable price to pay to uphold the Second Amendment," regarding U.S. gun death incidents, drawing strong criticism.
The following is Haezzu's full explanation and apology.
Hello. I'm saying this because a community said there was controversy over me liking a video related to Charlie Kirk's tribute.
To be precise, I judged him based on a few fragmented aspects without accurately knowing what political stance he held while alive.
Many people informed me in the comments, so I only realized it now. I was also quite shocked and have now removed all likes from related posts.
Once again, as an influencer, before taking any action I learned that I must more surely understand the situation, and I realized I am a person who is very lacking.
To those who were misunderstood because of this and to those who were hurt, I hope you won't worry too much.
I really was ignorant. I am truly sorry.
