K-pop culture tends to treat former members as taboo, not even mentioning them. He was just someone who shared part of that group's history, so acting like he never existed at all feels too harsh. It's not only cruel to him, but also to the fans who cherish that era.

I feel bad for him because of the all the hate comments. It happened before he messed up and left. He was part of Day6, building something together through tough times, so treating him like he never existed feels a bit..... There's even a song ranking up again that he was part ofㅋ shouldn't he at least be acknowledged?

It’s a little disappointing how idols who leave are completely erased... No matter how close they were before, once they leave, all traces are wiped out, unless they redebut with the same company.

Day6’s current songs are great, but there’s something really touching about the songs from when they were five members. The emotion in the vocals back then was really killer

Yeah, let's all just be happy in your separate ways
