Subsequently, we have decided to eliminate and alter the particular scene. We intend to expeditiously substitute the scene and implement all necessary measures."

Additionally, they expressed regret, saying, "We offer our sincere apologies for any worry caused due to insufficient scrutiny on our part as an agency. We will exercise heightened caution to prevent such incidents from arising in the future."
