Amid growing anticipation surrounding the rumored “Boys II Planet” spin-off group, Kangmin of VERIVERY has become a central figure though not for the reasons fans initially hoped. Speculation about whether he would join the potential lineup stirred heated conversations online, prompting him to clarify his position through the fan communication app Bubble.
Kangmin stated that although he supports the new group, he has no plans to be part of it. He gently asked fans to respect his decision, adding that he wanted to be loved for who he is and would continue giving his best in the path he’s chosen.
However, the conversation took a difficult turn when Kangmin returned to Bubble with a message tinged with frustration and sadness. Facing unexpected negativity from some fans, he pleaded for kindness and shared his emotional burden:
“I don’t want to argue with anyone. I just want to make those who supported me happy. But there are many things beyond my control. Please don’t say hurtful things to someone who’s only trying to return the love he received.”
“I’m someone who wants to love and be loved. I’m sorry if I sounded sensitive it’s just that I truly valued the effort and time I put into the show.”
His emotional words struck a chord with many fans, who quickly rallied in his defense. Supportive messages poured in across social media, condemning the harsh treatment Kangmin had received and expressing heartbreak that he felt the need to apologize for making a personal choice.
- “There are more people than you think who care deeply for you, Kangmin. We’ll be here for you no matter what.”
- “He’s just asking to be loved. Why are people treating him this way?”
- “I’m honestly in tears. Kangmin deserves better.”
The incident has reignited conversations about the pressure idols face from within their own fan communities where unconditional support can sometimes turn into harmful expectation.
As the “Boys II Planet” spin-off group buzz continues, fans are hoping Kangmin’s heartfelt message will be met with understanding and respect, allowing him the freedom to continue his journey on his own terms.
