MONSTA X's Minhyuk addresses fans with heartfelt message, pens emotional apology amid dating rumours: 'I deserve the criticism'
The idol reached out to fans directly through an emotional and heartfelt message, shared via Bubble, a private communication platform.
Minhyuk responds to rumours about alleged girlfriend
In a long message posted on Bubble, Minhyuk addressed dating rumours that have been circulating ever since his alleged girlfriend was made public a few months ago.
Some fans had claimed that being in a relationship had made Minhyuk distant towards them. The backlash grew stronger when it was alleged that his influencer girlfriend had accompanied him on the set of an official MONSTA X video shoot.
Although he didn't directly address any specific incident, fans widely understood the message as his response to the recent dating rumours and the controversy surrounding them.

He used the Bubble platform to express deep regret for disappointing fans, especially those who were looking forward to MONSTA X's 10th anniversary celebrations.
He began his apology by acknowledging how upset fans must be. 'I sincerely apologize to MONBEBE who waited for our 10th anniversary,' he wrote. He admitted he had made a mistake by not speaking up earlier.
'I believe I deserve the criticism'
Minhyuk stressed that he never intended to ignore the emotions and concerns of his fans, and admitted that his hesitation may have done more harm than good.
'I believe I deserve the criticism and backlash from MONBEBE for my actions,' he continued. 'I'm truly sorry for hurting you.'
'It's becoming too much to bear'
Minhyuk also opened up about his emotional state over the past three weeks, revealing the pain caused by false rumours and harsh remarks.
He said he received dozens of online posts each day attacking him and accusing him of things he didn't do. 'It's incredibly frustrating,' he wrote. 'What's worse is that the criticism and hateful comments have reached my family, and although I've tried to tell myself it's part of the job, it's becoming too much for me to bear.'
Unsure of how to move forward
The singer also shared the uncertainty he's feeling and asked fans what would be best – should he distance himself for a while or continue to stay connected?
He said he was especially hurt by the thought that his past love for fans might now seem fake.
'I've thought hard about what I can do for Monbebes right now. I believed the best I could do was to communicate sincerely, show you how I'm practicing hard and working with the members to perform well, contribute ideas for our album, and focus on being the artist I want to be.
But even that seems to be misunderstood now. I'm not trying to justify myself or avoid blame. If you felt I was trying to, I'm sorry. I truly don't know what actions I should take from here,' he wrote.
'Would it help if I stepped away?'
He ended the message with more questions for his fans, showing how torn he feels about what to do next.
'That's why I want to know… Not just based on what I think in my head, but what Monbebes truly want. Would it help even a little if I stopped communicating for a while and stepped away, or would that just cause more misunderstanding and make things worse? Would it be better for me to stay by your side even if it leads to new misunderstandings?'
Minhyuk, who made his debut with MONSTA X in 2015, resumed his activities last October after completing his mandatory military service.
Amazing story!
Wow!
Haha, thanks!

No red carpet, no problem: Raashii Khanna's Mumbai taxi look is so aesthetic
Raashii Khanna effortlessly blends style and simplicity in her recent Mumbai appearance. Donning a powder-blue cottagecore dress, she exuded calm and freshness against the backdrop of a classic Mumbai taxi. Her understated makeup and softly curled hair enhanced her natural glow, proving that fashion can be found even in everyday moments. Raashii Khanna brings a quiet charm to even the simplest moments. No red carpet, no flashing cameras, just a blue dress and a Mumbai taxi, coming together for an understated style moment. The South star and pan-India actress recently posted a few shots from her day in the city, captioned, 'Not all blues are bad, some come with a city view.' The pictures are as serene as the words. Dressed in a powder-blue cottagecore dress, Raashii looked fresh, calm, and completely in her element. The shade worked beautifully against her warm skin tone, and the flow of the fabric added a quiet romance to the frame. Her hair, softly curled and left loose, framed her face without trying too hard. Makeup was barely there, just enough to highlight her natural glow. And then there's the setting, the classic black-and-yellow Mumbai taxi, windows framing the blur of the city outside. That contrast between the rush of the streets and her calm, poised presence made the images so striking. Raashii's style has always been about striking that perfect middle ground. One day she's serving full-on glamour in a sculpted evening gown, the next she's draped in a silk sari that feels timeless yet fresh, and on another day she's strolling around in easy-breezy casuals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 3 minutes, if you own a mouse Undo No matter the outfit, there's a certain ease in the way she wears it, like it belongs to her, not just to the occasion. She never looks as if she's dressed up purely for the cameras; instead, her fashion choices feel lived-in and natural, almost like an extension of her own personality. That's probably why her looks resonate so much because they're not just styled, they are owned. This look is a reminder that fashion isn't only about statement pieces or big events. Sometimes, it's about how you inhabit the everyday. And with Raashii Khanna, even a quick ride across Mumbai becomes its own little style story.
