Juyeon from the group The Boyz expressed his feelings to fans after denying dating rumors with actress Cynthia.
On the 12th, Juyeon stated through the fan communication app From: "Dear Dobby (fan club name), I'm sorry for making you wait so long. I should have come to you a little earlier, but I was thinking about how to make Dobby worry and feel less upset, which took more time."
He continued, "I feel really sorry that that time might have made Dobby suffer even more. I feel truly sorry for making Dobby upset with this incident. There are many things that are not true, but I deeply feel that the situation arose because of my responsibility. I promise I will not repeat the same mistake again."
Additionally, Juyeon said, "I have become so accustomed to the love and support from Dobby that I momentarily forgot how much trust and expectation I am receiving. From now on, I will not take Dobby's feelings for granted and will cherish them more and act accordingly."
He added, "The words I conveyed to Dobby and the appearances I showed were all my sincere feelings. However, I am sorry if Dobby felt that even that sincerity might not be genuine because of this incident."
On the 10th, dating rumors between Juyeon and Cynthia quickly spread on online communities.
