Article: Baekhyun's brave apology, he consoled his angry fans

1. [+1,821, -96] How can him saying that he doesn't get how people can be depressed be considered consolation at all? It's like telling someone looking for employment "I don't get why you can't just find a job" ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+1,702, -90] ??? Did SM pay you to write this article, you trash journalist ㅋㅋ

3. [+1,491, -90] He doesn't have a brain, he probably doesn't even realize right now why he's getting all this hate

4. [+101, -5] Whatever he meant, he's basically saying that he doesn't understand why Jonghyun did what he did... his brain really doesn't have a filter...

5. [+95, -3] He's really going to get himself into a big scandal one day...

6. [+93, -4] Trash journalist, how much were you paid to write this? This is so disrespectful to all of the people suffering from depression

7. [+51, -3] Journalist, Baekhyun's butthole is going to go raw from how hard you're licking it

8. [+47, -3] He apologized for what he should've apologized for all along, how does that make him "brave" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+43, -4] If you're a true fan, you would be disappointed with what he said and quit being his fan. If you're just a blind follower, you're probably still sitting around like "oppa didn't mean that ㅜㅜ" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+40, -7] He "consoled" his fans...? And what about the people who were actually hurt and offended by what he said? I've been an EXO-L for years without knowing that this is what he truly thought about depression...! As someone who personally suffers from depression, I thought my wounds were being dug out with a knife when I heard him say that... sigh...

11. [+40, -3] Back then SM would take down all scandal articles but now they're hyping up his apology calling it brave and everything ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

12. [+24, -4] I don't understand why his apology is being seen as 'brave' and his fandom is actually sitting around community sites acting like "he apologized what more do you want!'

13. [+23, -3] Apologies shouldn't come from bravery but from the heart

14. [+21, -0] I have no interest in idols and even I was angered by what he said. What does that make all the people suffering from depression and insomnia now? Depression is like having a cold... one that never goes away. Must be nice to live so thoughtlessly like him, without any depression, with the ability to sleep at night without sleeping pills. There are so many more people who work daily jobs and study at school with all those hardships. He screwed up by saying that, he angered people that never even had an interest in him before.

15. [+21, -1] ㅋㅋㅋ "Consoled his angry fans" ㅋㅋ Let's admit it, you only apologized because you realized you were f*cked ㅋㅋ just stay quiet, you're too stupid to fix this at all

16. [+19, -0] Imagine if a female idol had said this..?

17. [+20, -0] As always, it's X Sports News, always SM biased

18. [+19, -0] He consoled his fans? You mean the ones who've been putting up shields this whole time before he even apologized? ㅋㅋ Isn't this guy 27 years old? He's been working for 10 years, he's no longer at an age where he can just be excused from this ㅋㅋㅋ

19. [+17, -4] This is unforgivable ㅋ don't act like anyone forgave him ㅋㅋ

20. [+17, -2] I've noticed that his fans are the type to defend him no matter what he commits, even murder. He could commit murder and they'd be like "murder is an experience after all~ just forget about it and move on." Please learn to differentiate between supporting your artist and helping them grow. It's because you always defend him over everything that his brain remains empty. I know people with depression and if anyone tried to say this to them, fists would be flying. Baekhyun-ah, sometimes it's better to learn that staying quiet is more of an advantage than saying anything at all.
