Discontent among fans reached a peak, prompting protests that showcased their disappointment with SM Entertainment's handling of the situation. The boycott extended across numerous countries, with fans rallying together to show their solidarity for Seunghan during this challenging time.

The note included a touching account from someone presumed to be an SM Entertainment staff member, detailing a personal interaction with the idol that revealed a compassionate side of the K-pop star.

The note read: “Not too long after I landed my first job in this industry, I made a mistake and got into trouble. As you were passing by, you mouthed the words, 'Are you OK? Don’t worry about it!' Thanks to you, I was able to grow through that day. When I heard about what had happened to you, I hoped that you, too, have people like you in your life. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you like you were there for me. Alongside your fans, I’ll be rooting and waiting for your return. For me, it made a world of difference. I’m grateful for how you chose to do the difficult thing and made me a stronger person. I’ll always be on your side, waiting.”

This kind gesture from Seunghan paints a beautiful picture of his character, reflecting the kindness he has shown beyond his circle in the entertainment industry. Fans were quick to respond to the note, lauding Seunghan for his empathetic nature and influence.

Furthermore, an alleged classmate of Seunghan came forward, shedding more light on his personality, describing him as a fiercely loyal friend who is always willing to lend a helping hand to others, further endearing him to fans. This incident highlights not just the support for Seunghan amidst his struggles but also ignites conversations about the pressures and expectations placed on idols in the K-pop realm.

As this saga unfolds, fans remain hopeful for Seunghan’s return to the spotlight, eagerly waiting for news while the hashtag #SupportSeunghan trends across various social media platforms.
