Clio Cosmetics has now issued a statement regarding their action to remove the band as a brand ambassador and the process they are taking to handle the situation. "We are making an announcement to everyone who loves 'Clio," the statement begins, according to Allkpop.
"First, we apologize for our brand's late official response to the controversies around a member of Stray Kids. Right after the controversy, our company ended all promotional activities with the model. We heard from the label that it would take time for the clear truth to come out, and we had asked all of our partners both in and out of Korea to stop using promotional material with the model."
