He emphasized that he did not want to bring this subject up anymore and hoped that everyone would “like me for who I am,” and that he would “choose to go forward and do my best!”
However, not long after, he returned to Bubble, asking fans to stop saying bad things to him.

“I don’t want to fight with anyone. Through this, I want to make everyone who supported me then happy. But there are many things I cannot choose. Could you please stop saying nasty things to me, as someone who is just trying their best to repay the support?
I am just someone who wants to receive and give love. I’m sorry, I think I got sensitive because I cherished the efforts and time I spent on the show.”

Seeing his response, fans expressed frustration at those who continued to criticize him for his decision.

강민아, 너를 사랑하고 너를 지켜주고 싶어하는 사람들은 네가 생각하는 것보다 훨씬 많아. 네 편이 되어줄 사람도, 끝까지 믿어줄 사람도, 언제나 함께할 사람도 많아. 나도 언제나 네 곁에서 최선을 다할테니까, 강민이는 항상 예쁜 말만 듣자 !! pic.twitter.com/yoNu6RY3Mh

Kangmin, there are more people than you think who love you, support you, and think about you. Many people want to be by your side and trust you until the end. I will always be next to you and do my best, too, so only listen to pretty words!
결국 강민이가 또 사과하잖아.. 울고십다ㅠ
지금도 최선을 다해 보답하려는데
나쁜 말만 하지 말아 달라고
사랑받고 사랑해주고싶다 얘기하잖아.어떻게 몇 번이나 팬이었단 사람들이 악플러보다 더 상처줘. 강민이 서치 잘하고 다 들어주려는 거 알면서 서치창 꼬라지 한번 보고 와 pic.twitter.com/lIhuzSju67

Kangmin ended up apologizing…this is making me cry. He’s saying he’s doing his best to repay all of you and asking for your love rather than hate. How can fans hurt him like this, even more than malicious commenters?
