In response, Korean netizens shared their thoughts on a Korean online community. 

"Shameless."

"It's not your situation to protect the artist...you're part of the problem...?"

"It seems like you really have to be shameless to continue working in the industry."

"Before protecting the artist, follow the law." 

"Wow so shameless...if someone didn't know better they'd think they were saying they're protecting the victims of hit and run." 

"Did something unfair happen to you? What are you protecting??"

"What are you doing protecting the hit-and-run perpetrator." 

"Crazy."

"What performances is he going to after causing an accident? In the article, it said he even switched clothes with his manager." 

"Is Think Entertainment evening thinking?" 
"They sound as if they're being bullied."
