On the 17th, via the fan community platform Weverse, she expressed regret saying, "On a day meant for celebration, we left you with disappointments. I feel a deep sense of remorse that is hard to excuse."

She continued, "I’m sorry for showing an immature side, but I want to convey my gratitude for these past ten years.

I promise to remain someone who can continue to share that love with you."
