He said, "Kim Hyun Ji was a participant with great ambitions regarding music. It was to the point that it was hard to showcase in the broadcast her passion and drive. It's such a huge shame. I relay my condolences."
On top of that, after Shinhwa's Dongwan was chosen for first on 'The Show' that night, he stated, "Before I came up on stage, I heard the news of the death of a junior. It's such a shame that I can't enjoy this to my heart's content."
Lee Ye Jun, who appeared on 'Voice Korea 2' with Kim Hyun Ji, wrote via Facebook on October 28, "It has yet to dawn on me so I want to ask why she did it in a scream and get angry, but I have nowhere to direct this, so I am doing this here. When she wanted to meet up, I should not have postponed it - I feel like [I could have] sympathized at least a little bit with her loneliness, so I am sorry. How hard was it for you? Do not hurt there and be happy with no hard times."
Rest in peace.
