Sungmin's mother�Kang Kyung Hwa recently took the time to speak with The Korea Herald�about the controversies.�

In regards to the boycott, Mrs. Kang stated, "I think many fans are still mad at Sungmin and I understand why."

She perceived the issue with a positive mind, saying, "The elders often say that the young people are too weak nowadays. Sungmin, who promoted as an idol for a long time, also grew up weak without knowing the world. I believe he'll become stronger due to this incident."

Mrs. Kang continued, "Not a lot of things go as planned. Same with this incident. I think it's important to accept the reality and change yourself in situations such as these."�

As for Sungmin's well-being, she said, "I think he's holding on better than I thought. He's also reflecting on his actions. Recently, he's been taking classes to learn new things and he's helping his wife."

Super Junior is scheduled to make a comeback in October as a group of 7 without Sungmin, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and Kangin.�
