1. [+481, -88] He's just dumb

2. [+408, -94] Too late, you've shown your limits. Bye~

3. [+375, -45] Let's be more careful with what we say

4. [+38, -10] Dumb kids like him don't get depression. Depression goes to people who know how to look after those around them and themselves. Kids who live life however the hell they want aren't the ons that get depression but the people around them who do. Kids like him are just super happy.

5. [+31, -12] This isn't even the first time he ran his mouth into trouble. I wonder if he realizes that he said the worst thing you could say to someone with depression.

6. [+20, -6] Quite thoughtless of him... he basically killed a person twice. No one shares "opinions" like that as a form of consolation.. ㅋ

7. [+18, -7] He needs to be more careful, this isn't the first time his mouth got him in trouble. Yeah his fans will defend anything he says but he's a public figure too.

8. [+14, -5] Depression is something that can happen to anyone, people with parents, families, children, wealth... it's not something you can judge by looking from the outside. He loves his fans? ㅋㅋㅋ How can he say something like that to the people he loves? That's not love, that's looking down on your fans by pretending to offer advice.

1. [+107, -22] The fact that he prefaced what he said by saying "sharing his opinion" means that he knew what he was about to say could be taken offensively

2. [+78, -17] It's not a matter of choosing the wrong words... it has barely been a week since his senior commit suicide over depression, it's a problem for him to be speaking about depression with this nuance at all

3. [+53, -13] Aigoo, f*cking fangirls are the worst. They're already sitting here assuming what his intentions probably were. That doesn't change that he spoke without a filter tsk tsk. He succeeded at too young of an age and probably feels on top of the world and views anyone suffering from depression as pathetic.

4. [+15, -3] Maliciously edited? When people found out about his statement, fangirls started screaming "no way he would say that, it's made up" so when the audio recording was released, they started screaming again "it was edited" -> so the longer audio was released -> the longer audio makes him sound even more hopeless because the highlight is that you can even hear the fans going "huh??" when he makes that statement ㅋㅋㅋㅋ These fans supporting him are seriously hopeless

5. [+9, -3] There really are a lot of people who think like him though. When I say I'm depressed, people say what he said. I understand that the timing of it can cause a misunderstanding but I don't think it's anything to be assuming his character over.

6. [+8, -4] How was this maliciously edited? Fans need to stop shielding this. If you listen to the audio, even fans fell in silence after Baekhyun said that.

7. [+7, -2] He needs to have a brain capable of deeper thought to be at risk for depression...
