Ha deleted the “Korean Flowers in Bloom” account from 2011 that was recently resurfaced with the premiere of his Apple TV+ series. The Tumblr featured candid photos of older Korean women taken without their consent, along with sexually suggestive captions he described as “inappropriate.” “My ‘Korean Flowers in Bloom’ Tumblr account from 2011 should not have been made at all,” Ha wrote on his website. “It was a breach of privacy for the elder women featured, and many of my captions were inappropriate. I deeply regret my actions and apologize for them.”
