Netizens were frustrated that one video clip had blown up so much online.
He apologized 2 times already but still means nothing to them. We give evidence but they don’t wanna see or listen. Now they are attacking his family! Wow, this is not bout airpods anymore, they just wanna hate him https://t.co/oDAU3li7ED

경호원이 애초에 주워준다고 오지말라했고 감사합니다도 했구만 진짜 무슨 대역죄인마냥 사람들이 난리쳐서 화나는거라고요 https://t.co/SjUMw8mKF1

The bodyguard told him not to come out and that he would pick it up. He did say thank you, too. I’m angry that people are making a fuss over this like he’s some kind of traitor.
내가 선우 이야기듣고 감사합니다 했는지 에어팟끼고 소리 최대로해서 20번 넘게 그 부분만 반복해서 확신 가질려고 자꾸 봐도 감사합니다라고 한거들렸고 선우는 코앞에있는 경호원분한테 감사하다고 하는거지 저 멀리서 폰 확대해서 영상찍는 팬한테까지 들리게 굳이 크게 감사인사 할 필요없잖아 https://t.co/WFfs28pdV7

After hearing about this, I listened to this part with my AirPods over 20 times, with the volume turned up to the maximum, and I could hear him say thank you. He was thanking the bodyguard right in front of him, so there was no need for him to say it loud enough for the fans who were filming to hear.
He also most recently posted an official apology on Instagram, along with his agency announcing they would take legal action against malicious comments.
