"Fuck you Wuhao. Why the fuck did you have to put my Jay into this scandal? Fucking bastard. Couldn't he have just fucking died? Why the fuck do the other members get put on hiatus because of that dipshit bastard. Motherfucker. That fucker would've been in check if he had his fucking parents to raise him. At least that way, my Jay would never have found him. #diewuhao #savejay"
"I sent 100 funeral wreaths with Wuhao's name on them. I don't understand. Why don't they just bury him when we've already celebrated his funeral? He doesn't deserve to live anyway."
"The video doesn't fucking prove anything. It fucking cuts off in the middle of the his conversation. He did ask to lip-sync. Fans are fucking blind."
"Should've just fucking died with his parents. Why did he have to survive and debut? I would've already killed myself if I knew my parents died because of me. Good thing he did it now. Better late than never."
"The fuck does he think he is trying to halt the other member's success. He was already the least famous member. Of course he fucking did this to take revenge on the other members. He deserves to be kicked out of the group."
"That bitch should get fucked in the middle of the street. That motherfucker deserves to be fucking gang raped. Can't sing, can't dance. Fuckface bastard. He should be run over, and his remains should be fed to dogs. Chinese dipshit.

"It was obvious his Chinese bastard uncle sold him, and he slept his way to debut in the company. Ambassador for a major brand. Don't fucking kid me. He's been spreading his legs for grown ass men. Where's the fucking purity he claims to have? Chinese bastard."

"Wait, what's happening? Did he really do it? Isn't he a minor? That's like a major scandal, isn't it? What's going to happen to LUMINA now?"
"Deserved. Should've done it a long time ago."
"Do we care? Woo-Bin and Haruto are saints for still caring about him. They should've just left him to die."
"Shame to him and whoever raised him. He should've just died in peace. It's obvious he did this for attention."
"I'm sure this is something he did to gain sympathy. Ain't no one committing suicide just by receiving valid criticism. It's only proving he shouldn't have debuted. They think we fans are dumb."
"Okay, who's believing this? Like, seriously. It's almost laughable."
"LUMINA'S WUHAO'S SUICIDE CONTROVERSY. INSIDER REPORTS COMPANY IS MOVING TOWARDS REMOVING HIM FROM THE GROUP. SUICIDE ATTEMPT STILL UNADDRESSED."

"It has come to our attention that we may have significantly misjudged the health conditions of LUMINA's member, Wuhao. In recent weeks, we discovered multiple lighters hidden within his dorm room. Given his young age and the potential implications of smoking, we believed it was necessary to intervene by arranging counseling for him. Our initial assumption was that he was engaging in smoking habits, prompting us to stress the consequences of such actions. However, despite our vigilance in monitoring him—conducting weekly check-ups as well as inspecting his clothing before laundry—we failed to find any definitive evidence of harmful behavior beyond the mere presence of those lighters.
Upon reflection, we recognized that our actions were infringing upon his privacy, an unacceptable compromise we felt compelled to make out of concern for his well-being. Yet, as time passed, we observed a notable change in Wuhao's demeanor. He increasingly distanced himself from the group, communicating less frequently and becoming noticeably withdrawn. Initially, he had been quite vocal about his need for privacy, but this expression dimmed; he seemed resigned and indifferent.
Prompted by these troubling signs, we arranged for him to meet with a mental health professional. The psychiatrist's assessment revealed that Wuhao was grappling with feelings of guilt about undisclosed matters, which he was attempting to mask through his withdrawn behavior. Despite our attempts to confront him about our concerns, he consistently denied any issues. Respecting his autonomy, we endeavored to maintain professionalism in our approach.
However, circumstances escalated when staff members began reporting the inexplicable disappearance of sharp objects from various locations. Alarmingly, these items were later discovered in Wuhao's room. When questioned about their presence, he claimed ignorance, yet we continued to respect his statements and maintain a professional demeanor.
As his health visibly deteriorated—he consistently avoided scheduled health check-ups and appeared fatigued—we grew increasingly concerned that he was facing overwhelming burnout. In an effort to support him, we suggested placing him on a temporary hiatus, but he insisted on completing several performances before taking a break. Respectfully, we acquiesced to his wishes. After the agreement, he immediately started getting better. He switched his attitude and got on good terms with the members again. We were still speculative of him, but we let him be. However, it didn't last long as it ultimately culminated in the unfortunate lip-syncing controversy.
We acknowledge that our biases influenced our interactions with him during this challenging period, leading to unprofessional confrontations, including an incident where a member of the group raised their voice and hand at him. Our embarrassment was compounded by the realization that we had misread the severity of his mental health struggles. Our desire to expedite his hiatus in light of the backlash was misguided.
Tragically, the situation reached a critical point when members Woo-Bin and Haruto discovered Wuhao unconscious on the floor of his room, surrounded by an alarming number of sleeping pills. Immediate action was taken to rush him to the hospital. It was there that we were confronted with the harsh reality of his suffering—medical professionals identified numerous burn marks, scratches, and scars consistent with self-harming behavior, indicating that Wuhao was using these methods as coping mechanisms for his anxiety.
While we cannot provide a definitive explanation for the events captured in the controversial video, we can assert that what transpired should never have occurred, and there were deep-rooted reasons behind it. We do not place blame solely on Wuhao's mental health; rather, we accept full accountability for failing to recognize the signs and properly support him during his time of need.
In light of these events, we have decided to place LUMINA on a temporary hiatus to allow us the necessary time to address these issues adequately. We sincerely request the support and understanding of our fans during this challenging time. It is imperative to remember that, regardless of any actions taken by Wuhao, he is a human being deserving of compassion and a second chance. Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Han Eui-Jin"
"FANS TORN ON HANEUL ENTERTAINMENT'S STATEMENT ON RECENT LUMINA CONTROVERSY. SAY CEO HAN EUI-JIN IS A HYPOCRITE FOR USING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES TO GAIN SYMPATHY."
"He thinks we'll believe his crocodile tears. He has wanted to remove Wuhao from the group for a long time. It was only Jay who wanted him in the group. Of course, he's using this scandal to kick him out. Sick bastard."
"Die Han Eui-Jin. Your life is a shit show anyway. Bullying Wuhao since his debut and now kicking him out. I hope a truck runs you over."
"A member raised his voice? Fuck you, han Eui-Jin. Fuck you for doing this to the poor members who are already being pushed through the mud. You deserve to die, too."
"LUMINA'S COMPANY UNDER FIRE FOR DISREGARDING MEMBER WUHAO'S MENTAL HEALTH. FANS BLAME CEO HAN EUI-JIN FOR HIS CONDITION."
"So many people still care about the other members, yet not a single person bats an eye when a minor hurts himself and attempts suicide. What is wrong with these people?"
"Is this really happening? In 2025? A member raised his voice, the company invaded his privacy, and ignored his health conditions on a baseless opinion. That psychiatrist should get his license revoked. Kudos to the company for claiming their fault, but that doesn't make it any better. I hope the group can survive through this."
"I'm so glad that the haters are running away now. If anything, these comments were making the situation worse. I hope someone reports them. What is the world coming too?"
"BREAKING NEWS: HANEUL ENTERTAINMENT RELEASES THE FOOTAGE OF MEMBER WUHAO CONVERSING WITH SOUND ENGINEER ON NIGHT OF PERFORMANCE. AUDIO REVEALS HE WAS TRYING TO ASK THEM TO FIND HIS MANAGER WHO HAD GONE TO GET SOMEONE TO FIX HIS EARPIECE."
"I always knew he was innocent. The fact that his company didn't even protect him and put him on a hiatus. Shame on them."
"It only took a suicide attempt to let these horrid people know that he was innocent. Sickening creatures. Good thing I never doubted him. #wuhaoisinnocent"
"It's always 'protect your idols' until an idol actually gets pushed to this point. I hope his members supported him throughout this. All K-pop companies are like this. #protectallidols"
"You can clearly hear him asking the staff member to check his earpiece. To think these people twisted it to the point he got so much hate while his company did nothing to defend him. I hope he leaves that wretched company. They don't deserve him."
"His company didn't protect him, this, that. Zip it. I don't wanna hear it. Y'all are twisting their words again. They already explained why they put him on that hiatus. Y'all really create your own narratives and run with them. No wonder we're at this point again."
"I hate Korean media. First, they twisted what was happening in the video, then they twisted the statement released by their company, and now that the truth's out, they're sympathizing with them? Absolute hypocrites."
"All these people out here pretending like they gave any fucks about his health. You bullied him to this point, and so much so that all this happened in under 24 hours. We're all saying that he did this because he was bullied, mental health doesn't deteriorate this quickly, and he came to this point in a few hours. This has been going on for way too long, since the day he was revealed. A member of a noble family who rebelled to follow his dreams, a child actor turned idol, a prodigy who won multiple awards for his music, a beloved survival show member who was eliminated unfairly, and a 16-year-old who trained for six months? Of course, people were going to nitpick him, compare him, and bully him. He has been receiving the same amount of hate since his debut, only this time, it got him to him. No one has the right to sympathize or apologize. No one! He does not need your pity!"
"FANS SYMPATHIZE WITH LUMINA'S WUHAO. CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IDOLS' MENTAL HEALTH AND PROTECTION OF MINORS SPARKS AGAIN. WAS THE HATE JUSTIFIED OR WAS HE A VICTIM?"
"It's obvious what happened. Classic prey turned victim. Fans of that specific group were looking to tear these boys apart, and they succeeded. This isn't a conversation about idols' mental health anymore. This is a conversation about the power these faceless creatures hold against innocent people. But the world isn't ready to commit. Even after things like this hit the news after every other day."
"Don't let these comments fool you. These are the same people who doxxed his family, called him slurs, and told him to die. The world is a scary place. Never condone hate."
