He tweeted, "I don't know why, but yesterday and the day before yesterday, I got a lot of requests through my own mail or through the hotel company legal team asking me to take legal action against hate comments."
He added, "It's true that I've gotten hardened against them since I've experienced them for over 10 years. I'm also more optimistic and stronger than you think, so I'm not easily shaken by hate comments, and I went over them by believing that if I worked harder, people would understand by sincerity. But I looked over various data and the situation and I thought that they had gone past common sense and had crossed the limit. And more than anything, I was pained that the people walking with me are exhausted by it, so I started to think that it wasn't okay to just ignore them because I was okay with them."

He also said he was ready to take legal action, and requested those who had any relevant materials to send to the label. He added, "Of course, I know how to take criticism that aims at my growth, bitter words, or just criticism just for the sake of it, so you don't have to worry about those. I think I'm going to talk for the first time about this situation with the company legal team. If our fans have something, send it to C-JeS. I want to talk with them face to face."
He added, "I don't know what I did wrong to make them hate me. But I'm sorry that fans [are suffering] because I'm lacking. Let's meet again tomorrow with a smiling face at the Seongnam Art Center. Everyone, have strength. And thank you for caring so much like it's your own! Really."
