Someone on the internet, who claimed to be Seunghan's old classmate and friend, made a post that was later taken down.
On an online forum, a user shared a screenshot of a long message that was written by someone else on December 24 and then deleted by that person.
This message tried to support Seunghan in the wake of the recent controversy that caused him to be banned from the group's activities for good.
The whole post that was wiped looks like this:
"Hi there.
We went to school together, and I've known Seunghan since then. I've been watching out for him since he was a student.
Even though I wasn't sure when to write this, I decided it would be best to do it now, after some time has passed, so that people who read it can see what happened with a more objective eye.
If you believe this, feel free to say so. If you don't want to believe, you can skip over it.
When we were in school, Seunghan got along great with his classmates and was a loyal and helpful friend who would talk to even the shyest ones right away.
Due to his polite behavior, even the teachers liked Seunghan.
Even though he was tired from training until late at night, he was so friendly and active that he would gladly play soccer with the other kids.
Everyone liked him, no matter what gender they were.
Even though practice after school meant he didn't have as much time to hang out with his school friends, he still got along great with them.
He would even draw pictures (?) for his friends when he was bored, which shows how honest he was as a student.
But I think Seunghan acted a little carelessly after becoming an adult this year. He should have been more careful because his launch was coming up soon.
In any case, it's very sad to see how mean people are when they try to bring down someone young by spreading false stories and manipulative information.
It makes me sad that Seunghan's personality and deeds, which used to be polite and respectful, are now being criticized because of a brief lapse in judgment.
Especially knowing how hard he worked during his long trainee period, it has been heartbreaking to see all that effort apparently go to waste in an instant after this incident.
I believe that the Seunghan I know would think about how careless he was because he really does care about the people around him and thinks deeply about them.
But, even though some time has passed, I still don't want to ask him how he is because I'm afraid he may have been hurt very badly.
I want to make it clear that this message is not meant to judge Seunghan or force anyone to see him in a certain way.
I just hope that the view on Seunghan can be less skewed, even if it's just a little.
Thank you for reading this long message that isn't very well put together.
Netizens are still expressing their doubts and questions about the situation, even though this post is interesting.
Some people don't believe it's real, saying that it could have been shared by someone from SM Entertainment or even Seunghan himself because there's no proof.
Under the post, comments show that people are both skeptical of and supportive of Seunghan.
Some of the responses that have been upvoted say that they understand why the original poster made the post, have doubts about what happened, and feel sorry for Seunghan.
Some reactions are:
"I know that the person who first spread the information was wrong in many ways, but it's also true that Seunghan has done some bad things."
It's true that he smoked in the streets in Japan as an underage person, and even though he knew that he was a public figure already as a trainee in Korea, he went to a motel and carelessly had an unflattering picture taken.
I don't think he was thinking straight when he did an IG live, even if he wanted to use a fake account.
"I can't believe they put it on Pann, lol, instead of another social media site.
Who knows if this person works for SM, is a close friend of his, or is even Seunghan himself, lol.
Even the way this person talks is like the way people who like and comment on these kinds of posts do it.
"Employees, you are working too hard in the wee hours of the night"
"It's crazy that businesses are still trying to make this work, haha."
Are we that easy?""I am really interested in who first shared the video, though.
I can't believe they kept all of those videos secret and only showed them after his start…
I am sure that some people were trying to bring him down on purpose.
I can tell from this post that the former friend was very upset that Seunghan's old videos were made public without permission, which caused him to stop doing things.
If the person in question wasn't asked before making some footage public, it's not really true.
It's important not to forget that Seunghan is also a victim.
It wasn't such a grave mistake for him to halt his actions.
I'm so upset with the company for how badly they handled the case.
Even though Seunghan was the one who was hurt, they only made him write a sorry letter.
This wasn't a reason for him to be in the news for bad behavior in public.
I hope he comes back to the stage soon as part of RIIZE.
What do you think?
