-I've been waiting for his comeback...
-Ah... I didn't know he was declared innocent until I read the comments...
-It must've been so unfair for him. It's a pity that not a lot of people knows that he's actually innocentㅜㅜ
-I really love his voice. It's such a relief to know that I still get to listen to his voice.
-I hope his new song will hit big this time. It must've been so unfair for him. I remember he got a lot of hate back then.
-Oh... I'm really looking forward to this, I really love his voiceㅋㅋㅋ
-I feel bad for him for having such a bad friend. I hope nothing like that will ever happen to him again in the future.
