With Shinhwa's Kim Dong Wan announcing he will take legal action, a former manager expressed his feelings in an additional post.
The former manager A said on his personal social media on the 23rd, "I didn't think it would get this much attention or be turned into news, but now that it has, it's not as burdensome as I thought," and left a post.
He confessed, "Honestly, should I say I feel relieved? I must have been hurt. As I get older and look back on the events of that time, the joyful, happy, upsetting and disappointing moments are all memories, but on the other hand, it seems a lot of anger and injustice were hidden inside me."
He added, "I have no regrets about this. Exposé? I wondered whether that was the right word, but when others see what I did, I acknowledge that it is an exposé. I have no fear, no sense that I was wrong, and I will probably delete the post when I feel okay someday. Anyway, you can stop paying attention now!"
He also rebutted Kim Dong Wan's legal response, saying, "I deleted the post that posted this article yesterday and just saw it now… I shouldn't have deleted it… The words 'spreading false information' and 'civil and criminal legal action' make me laugh hollowly. It's a bit much to say I made it up… There are various stories, but I've kept quiet for fear of causing a bigger stir… Hyung, just stay still! You haven't done anything right."
Kim Dong Wan recently drew criticism for publicly cheering MC Dingdong, who assaulted a female streamer live online after mentioning the legalization of sex work and a past drunk driving controversy, on his personal social media. Meanwhile, A posted and then deleted an exposé-style post saying, "Hyung didn't listen to me even when I was his manager," which drew attention.
However, Kim Dong Wan's side has said regarding the former manager's earlier post, "The content currently being circulated is false claims that do not reflect the facts. We will not comment on personal relationships. If the spreading of false information continues, we will take all civil and criminal legal actions."
