Logan Paul is apologizing to his fans and followers after posting a controversial video.

 

The YouTube star recently traveled to Aokigahara, a forest in Japan that is referred to as "suicide forest" because it's the site of hundreds of suicides.

 

According to New York Magazine, Logan decided to post a video from the area titled "We found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest…" that appeared to feature a deceased body. On Monday night, however, the video was removed and an apology was issued.

 

"Let's start with this—I'm sorry," Logan explained to his 3.9 million Twitter followers. "This is a first for me. I've never faced criticism like this before, because I've never made a mistake like this before. I'm surrounded by good people and believe I make good decisions, but I'm still a human being. I can be wrong."

 

He continued, "I didn't do it for views. I get views. I did it because I thought I could make a positive ripple on the Internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity. That's never the intention. I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention and while I thought 'if this video saves just ONE life, it'll be worth it,' I was misguided by shock and awe, as portrayed in the video. I still am."

 

In an intro to the footage, Logan reportedly called the 15-minute video, "the most real vlog I've ever posted to this channel."

 

"I think this definitely marks a moment in YouTube history because I'm pretty sure this has never hopefully happened to anyone on YouTube ever," he shared via NY Magazine. "Now with that said: buckle the f--k up, because you're never gonna see a video like this again!"

 

While the video reportedly received more than 6 million views in less than a day, many were quick to express their outrage leading to Logan's apology.

 

"I do this s--t ever day. I've made a 15 minute TV show EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 460+ days. One may understand that it's easy to get caught up in the moment without fully weighing the possible ramifications," Logan explained in his Twitter post. "I'm often reminded of how big of a reach I truly have & with great power comes great responsibility…for the first time in my life I'm regretful to say I handled that power incorrectly. It won't happen again."

 

He added, "I love everyone. I believe in people. I'm out here. Peace. #Logang4Life."

"I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention and while I thought 'if this video saves just ONE life, it'll be worth it." So, that's why he laughed after he saw the body, right? To help spread the message on how serious suicide is, right? He's nothing but trash, and it seems to be a trait shared between him and his brother.

This, my friend, is why you should not defend someone who does mistakes.

 

I seriously have no words for his response. I thought only his brother was bad. Turns out he is also brainless in humanity. Just why does he make such a sensitive video, knowing that he has a big name? I won't believe in that BS he's saying.

why did he think it’d be funny to camp out in Suicide Forest in the 1st place? Nothing funny about it.

it could have been an instinctual reaction out of the nervous realisation. still remains a mystery why he posted though.

This is the biggest crock of BS I’ve ever heard... he knew exactly what he was doing. Positive ripple my ass... it WAS for the views... at the expense of the death of a human being... no words...

possible, still really disturbing to think that is what he does out of nervousness 

and not only posting, but also the tags, the editing, the title of the video... how anyone in his team thought that would possibly be a good idea? how did they not think that would be problematic? are they all obnoxious like him? how did youtube allow the video to stay up for two days and actually make it fucking trending?

this whole situation is mind boggling and deeply disturbing
