In conclusion, Ryeowook urged caution in the words people choose to express online, as they can have lasting consequences and lead to regret in the future.

He highlighted the value of true fans who support him faithfully, emphasizing the collective achievements they've made together.

Korean netizens responded, "Malicious commenters are not fans," "People like these malicious commenters who claim to be fans don't even spend money on the group," "What he said is so true," "These 'fans' who leave malicious comments like that shouldn't call themselves fans," "He said it well," "Why are they calling themselves fans if they're going to leave malicious comments like that," "What Ryeowook said is so true. You're not a fan," "Why are they leaving comments like that under the pretense they are a fan?" "That is not a fan," "People like them are crazy," and "Don't say they are a fan."
