1. [+420, -17] Those Monster fans or whatever took it too far... first they were beating her over the rumors and now they're faulting her for clarifying it? Imagine how much they swore at her face at music shows for her to directly clarify it like this... sigh, Hyelin-ah find strength

2. [+340, -8] It hasn't been only 2-3 years, it's been more like 4 years... I remember she high fived Monsta X late last year when they won and their fans were nagging at her like "did you high five your bf or your ex?" The public isn't aware of everything she's had to suffer. If anything, the numbers for the win that day were off but she still went to congratulate them and probably went home to suffer hundreds of hateful DMs that night.

3. [+331, -12] Imagine how harsh the stupid fangirls were being to her that she didn't even wait for her company to put out a statement and just did it herself, tsk tsk. You Monsta X stupid fangirls better reflect over this. Your hate comments are smearing sh*t all over your group's face.

4. [+16, -1] I wonder how bad they were to her... ㅋㅋ do these fans realize that this Minhyuk kid isn't even their boyfriend

5. [+9, -3] The public doesn't care whether they're dating or not so the fans should back off

6. [+8, -2] Monsta X is so nugu that their fans should be grateful if EXID is willing to be friends with them, how dare they go and swear at them instead ㅋㅋㅋ stupid fangirls are hopeless

7. [+7, -1] Who is this nugu ba$tard? ㅋㅋㅋ What the hell is Monsta X? ㅋㅋ

8. [+3, -0] Find strength, Hyelin-ah... don't let them get to you
