He called them out, asking them how he was supposed to act.
He added that whatever they do affects him, and whatever he does affects the fans, and asked them not to engage in feuds.
However, fans expressed divided reactions, with some defending him and others thinking the whole situation to be cringe.
I'm confused. Are you guys simply mass harassing a human being just because they are cringe?
And, when he reacts and validates your existence, you continue to bully and make fun of him?
It's "protect kpop idols and their mental health" until it's someone you don't like. https://t.co/37Puik7BXx
