Today (29th), Kang Daniel left a comment on Seungkwan's post saying, 'True, love wins all,' conveying the message that 'love conquers all.' Earlier that day, Seungkwan posted a long message on his SNS stating, 'I don't want to see any more hurting each other.' He shared, 'While watching many things happen until now, I tried to calm my heart thinking that somehow we would get through it, and I have been working hard with the members as usual. But I can no longer remain silent for the sake of my friends, fans, and members, and all my hardworking colleagues.' Seungkwan also mentioned, 'At least the colleagues and friends I know are people who genuinely love this job.' He called for people not to underestimate idols, stating, 'They are people who have suffered enough, broken down, and are desperately trying to show their best selves to fans on stage.' He added, 'I have to make an effort, but I hope everyone can be a little warmer.' He expressed his wish not to see anyone break down and ultimately let go, saying, 'Please do not inflict wounds that cannot be borne. This is my sincere wish.' Finally, he stated, 'I don't want to see myself, the members, all my hardworking colleagues, our dedicated staff, and our fans get hurt anymore,' and he wanted to convey his apologies and love to the fans who love them at this moment. Seungkwan's post seems to refer to the report from HYBE, the parent company of Pledis Entertainment.
