Hi everyone
I’ve been reading the messages and comments from those who reached out to me regarding the hand gesture I used in my recent Instagram Story.
I sincerely apologize for not fully understanding the deeper meaning and sensitivity behind that gesture. I mistakenly believed it was simply a general hand sign used to ask for help in any situation, and I genuinely didn’t know that it carries a specific meaning.
In Thailand, I’ve seen many people use this gesture in everyday situations, so I misunderstood it as something commonly used without realizing its true significance. That was my mistake, and I take full responsibility for it.
This experience has taught me to be much more careful when using hand gestures and other symbols, and I’ll make sure to be more thoughtful in the future.
Thank you to everyone for your understanding. I truly appreciate those who took the time to explain this to me, and I’ll be more mindful about what I share and communicate going forward. 🤍
