1. [+6,685, -285] You can't live life doing only what you want to do... The reason you're even popular is because of Super Junior, tsk tsk.

2. [+5,866, -226] Why would he even think he had a chance at acting (in Korea) when he can't even speak Korean properly?

3. [+5,560, -201] He seems to think he can cross the line with his words just because he's not in the group anymore

4. [+5,077, -170] Obviously SM didn't see that much worth in him as a product which is why they didn't want him to act and everything. And he could've studied English on his own if he wanted to learn it that badly. A company does not exist to fulfill his whims.

5. [+4,440, -113] I don't think he's being respectful of his fans with the way he's putting Korea down like that. It's because Super Junior as a group is so popular in China that he's doing as well as he is now...

6. [+1,917, -55] All he had to do was wait and his turn would've come but his impatience led to his leave... Look at SNSD. They're six years in now and Hyoyeon's finally getting the spotlight with 'Dancing with the Stars', 'Invincile Youth', 'Dancing 9', CFs, pictorials... She's the jjang in Soshi these days. And also look at ZE:A... They waited so many years and now Park Hyung Shik's on the rise. Hankyung lacked patience.

7. [+1,688, -38] His statement basically reads as him throwing any respect and loyalty for the members he was with for so many years into andromeda.

8. [+1,660, -93] Don't think that it was because you were a foreigner that you didn't make it in Korea. Look at Luhan, Tao, and Kris... They're loved because they speak fluent Korean. Look at Victoria, look at Nichkhun... It wasn't because you were a foreigner. You just lacked the talent others had.

Article: Hankyung's interview, shocking confession  "I thought of suicide while promoting with Super Junior"

1. [+508, -27] Kim Heechul was really sad when he left the group... Can't imagine how he feels now reading Hankyung's latest interviews

2. [+351, -33] If a company says you can't do something, there's a reason for it ㅋㅋ Of course, I understand that it was psychologically difficult for him but I'm glad he found what he truly wanted to do in the end.

3. [+313, -26] I get that celebrities go through hard times... but I don't understand it obviously since I'm not the one facing their problems. But please, don't say the word death/suicide so easily. It's difficult for the other person to hear and dying isn't something to be taken so lightly... How upset your fans must be right now. I often hear celebrities talk about wanting to die... well, even if you were really at that point of hardship, please don't say it publicly. Once you overcome it and move on, it won't be so bad anymore... Just please, watch what you say.

4. [+62, -5] Maybe the reason you weren't given CF opportunities was because companies didn't want you? Maybe the reason you weren't given acting opportunities was because you couldn't speak Korean? Do you think you'd be where you are now without Super Junior? And was it that difficult for you to translate for your fellow members in China? What about the members who helped you with Korean in Korea? Did you not think of them?

5. [+41, -5] Hankyung, aren't you going too far... Us fans are doing our best without you, but every time we're on the brink of forgetting and moving on, you come out and bring up Super Junior all over again. What does that make your members then... You don't care at all that your fans are divided because of this, right? Why can't you just be happy with what you're doing now? Just shut up and live your life instead of bringing more harm onto others.
