Se7en shares thoughts about the ongoing negativity he receives from the public

Ever since Se7en's adult massage parlor controversy in 2013, the singer continues to receive backlash from the public until this day. 

He addressed this issue during the press conference for his new album 'I AM Se7en' on October 13. Se7en stated, "I know people are not looking at me pleasantly, and I've also been reading all the comments. I tend to keep in mind the helpful words and ignore the ones that are ridiculous. I don't get hurt from them."

Se7en also spoke about the letter he recently shared on Instagram regarding the past controversy and said, "I thought that people will eventually come to a realization if I take time to reflect instead of trying to explain the misunderstanding. Recently, I wrote a letter of explanation on SNS. At first, I thought it would be meaningless. I didn't see the reason to speak up and explain myself when I am truly spending time reflecting back on myself. I thought people will believe me and eventually understand me, but I realized that it's hard to change everyone's mind. That's why I uploaded the letter." 

Unfortunately, the letter seems to have little to no effect in changing the public's negativity toward Se7en. Do you think he deserves such harsh criticism?
