"However, the dashcam footage was publicly posted on social media with clear images and audio of me on the night the incident occurred.

"I am deeply saddened by this incident. I extend my sincerest apologies to the driver, his family, friends, and everyone who cares about me, as well as to the app. I hope the driver will always drive safely on all roads and enjoy good health. I will also limit my alcohol consumption to avoid such reckless behavior," he wrote.
At the end of the post, Minh Khang expressed his wish for the story to end after he spoke out, so that everyone could continue with their work and lives. "Please, everyone, stop attacking or insulting anyone in this story. Once again, I apologize for my uncontrolled speech that night. Thank you for listening," the songwriter of " Cầu vồng khuyết" (The Broken Rainbow) confessed.
