Sorry for causing trouble, if you don't want to see it, you can block me!

Comments ranged from questioning the necessity of such a video to expressing discomfort, with one user asking, "Is this something that can be seen?" Another suggested that if the content was part of a sponsored post, hair removal from the legs or underarms would have been more suitable.

I've tried underarm and leg hair removal, and many people asked about private part hair removal, so I thought I'd film it directly. Sorry to make your eyes uncomfortable.

Responding to the backlash, Lin Jin explained that he had previously tried hair removal videos for his underarms and legs. He stated that many followers had inquired about private part hair removal, prompting him to create the video to address their curiosity directly. He apologized for any discomfort caused and urged viewers to block his content if they did not wish to see it. Lin Jin also asked the public not to view the practice of private part hair removal through a biased lens, emphasizing that useful products should not be a source of shame.
