I don’t know if all of my feelings will come across properly, but after a lot of thought, I decided to write this. I wasn’t sure whether I should post this on Berriz or on Bubble, but I wanted to talk more directly, so I’m sending it on Bubble.
First of all, to Monbebe who have been waiting for our 10th anniversary
I’m truly sorry for creating this kind of situation, and I want to sincerely apologize.
I wanted to apologize earlier, but I couldn’t, and I’m even more sorry for doing it so late.
I never want to ignore what you all are saying, and I don’t think that would ever be the right thing to do.
To the Monbebe who were hurt because of my carelessness, I’m deeply sorry once again.
I think I fully deserve the criticism and blame Monbebe have given me for my actions.
I’m truly sorry for causing you pain.
From the moment I chose this profession, I’ve always thought that it comes with the responsibility to accept criticism from the public and Monbebe whenever I make a mistake.
So I believe it’s only natural to be held accountable when I do something wrong.
I thought long and hard about whether I should say this, but I feel like being honest about how I truly feel is the right thing to do, so I’d like to share more.
Every day, there are dozens of things being said about me that I didn’t do, absurd and false rumors, and I can’t respond to each one. That’s been so frustrating.
And now, the harsh words and criticisms from those rumors are starting to affect my family as well.
I’ve been trying to convince myself that this is just something I have to endure because of my job, but I don’t think I can hold on anymore…
There have been many times over the past 10 years where I was caught in controversy or criticized for things I didn’t do, and I couldn’t explain myself.
Back then, I kept telling myself, “This is just part of being an idol,” and tried to get through it.
I thought I could keep enduring it like that, but now, facing so many things all at once for the first time, I feel scared and sad.
I thought about what I could do right now for Monbebe
I thought the best thing I could do was to keep communicating, go to the practice room, share photos of the members, prepare for our performances, and come up with ideas for our album.
But now I realize that even those actions may have caused misunderstandings.
Some may think I’m trying to keep up appearances or that I’m avoiding things, and when I found out that it’s being taken that way, I really didn’t know what to do anymore.
So I want to ask, not just what I think in my head, but what Monbebe really want.
Would it bring you a bit more peace if I stepped back for a while and stopped communicating for the time being?
Or even if it might lead to more misunderstandings, would it be better if I stayed by your side and kept showing up?
Honestly, I’m afraid even this question might come off as manipulative or insincere, but I really don’t know what to do, so I’m asking with courage.
Monbebe are truly precious and dear to me.
What you have to say is what matters most to me.
What saddens me the most is that the love and affection I’ve shown to Monbebe over all this time now seems like it was fake.
Thank you for reading this message that came late and I’m sorry.
context: here (he was caught dating an influencer he had known for over 10 years
original post: here
1. Good thing I left the fandom
2. He’s already been caught dating, but he couldn’t bring himself to break up… And then he was also caught with that witness photo recently…ㅜ This is a situation where nor fans, nor singer can resolve anymore
3. Let’s just all leave the fandom now, there’s no need to spend money on this guy anymore
4. I only pity the fans
5. It would’ve been better for him to just acknowledge the relationship and say that he’s dating with marriage in mind.. If he wants to act like that, he’ll just keep on getting caught on dates
6. No but he’s made it so obvious, I don’t understand why he’s acting like he’s losing his mind over it
7. I do feel bad because it feels like he’s having a mental breakdown… but it’s not like it’s only about misunderstandings or things they didn’t do…He could’ve just quietly dated and continued putting in effort… As for me, I’m good at turning a blind eye
8. He seems so mentally checked out. But honestly, even I’m not a fan and I’ve seen the witness photos and the other person’s Instagram. It got spread so much. I think it’s their own fault for not being careful… I totally understand why Monbebes are upset and at what point they got angry…
9. Ah the more I look at this, the more pissed I am. You should’ve been more careful so fans wouldn’t have anything to say
10. But why are fans so pissed about relationships?
