Logan Paul has denied rumors of being banned from Japan after the controversial video he filmed in 2017. The video, shot in Aokigahara Forest, known as the 'suicide forest', depicted Paul encountering a deceased individual. The footage was removed from YouTube following widespread backlash.
In a recent interview on his podcast, Paul clarified his status regarding Japan. Despite not participating in WWE's recent tour of the country, he asserted that he is not prohibited from entering Japan and cited 'prior obligations' for his absence from the tour. Paul emphasized that he has not received an official invitation to return to Japan.
During the podcast, Paul expressed interest in being invited back to Japan, with WWE being his preferred choice. He mentioned a desire to play a villainous role ('heel') in WWE if given the opportunity.
Paul previously issued an apology for the 2017 video, stating that his intention was to raise awareness about suicide prevention. He acknowledged mishandling his influence and vowed not to repeat such actions.
Despite the controversy surrounding the video, Paul maintained that he aimed to shed light on a critical issue and expressed regret for his approach. The conversation on the podcast concluded after a comment about his past actions prompted reflection on the severity of the situation.
