Here is the full text of his Bubble messages:
– Thank you Zerose
– I’m okay~~~ I’m receiving so much love so this time is not tough at all
– Am I?ㅋㅋ
– I’m sorry for worrying you guys
– Don’t worry. Let’s just focus on us and be happy everyone
– Eung~ thank you ㅎㅎ Eung~ I’ve lived an honorable life
– Zerose, don’t worry. Just look at good things, okay?
– Thank youㅎㅎ
– Should I give you a photo?
– Ang~ I’ll solve everything. I didn’t do it, so you guys don’t need to worry
– Ang~ ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
– Selfie?
– Got it. I’ll take one and send you later
– Okayㅎㅎ See you later Zerose
In response, netizens commented:
– Why is he using ‘Ang~ Ang~’ like that?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Because there are still fans like you guys, he’s acting like nothing happened and moving on…. Whether he did it or not, the video clearly shows that the fan heard something like a curse word for no reason. Keeping silent for nearly two weeks and not being able to offer an apology to the fan, he’s such a Hannam guy (*a slang referring to Korean men who are misogynistic)
– Was he really born in 1998…?
– ? “I’ve lived an honorable life”…?
– Even if he was born in 1998, his life is not that long to say “I’ve lived an honorable life”ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s weirder if you don’t live a proud and honorable life at that age, isn’t it?
– I feel so sorry for the fan who heard the curse word “ssibal” from him… I hate that so muchㅠ Kim Ji-woong fans are all girls who are crazy about menㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
