MONSTA X's Minhyuk addresses fans with heartfelt message, pens emotional apology amid dating rumours: 'I deserve the criticism'
Minhyuk, a popular South Korean singer and member of the K-pop boy band MONSTA X, recently found himself at the centre of harsh fan criticism and damaging rumours about his personal life.
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.
Idol opens up after months of silence
After staying quiet for months, Minhyuk finally broke his silence and spoke about the emotional toll the situation had taken on him. Insisting that the allegations were completely false, he got emotional as he spoke about how hard things had been.

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!

Aamir Khan explains the reason behind naming his children Junaid, Ira, and Azad despite his Hindu wives: 'I had no say in it'
Aamir Khan recently addressed the reason behind his children's Islamic-rooted names, Junaid, Ira, and Azad, despite his former wives being Hindu. He revealed that Reena Dutta, his first wife, chose Junaid and Ira's names, with Ira being derived from 'Irawati,' a name for Goddess Saraswati. Kiran Rao, his second wife, named their son Azad, honoring Maulana Azad, a freedom fighter. Aamir Khan, known for keeping his personal life largely private, recently opened up about a topic that has often sparked curiosity—why his children have names rooted in Islamic tradition despite both his former wives being Hindu. In a candid appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, the actor revealed the real story behind the names Junaid, Ira, and Azad, offering a rare glimpse into the thoughtful choices made by his family over the years. During the interview, host Rajat Sharma playfully pointed out that Aamir's first wife was Reena, his second Kiran, and joked that his future wife might be named Gauri—all names of goddesses. Aamir blushed, crossed his fingers, and smiled. Sharma then asked why, despite this, Aamir's children are named Junaid Khan , Ira Khan, and Azad Khan . Aamir Khan clarified that the names of his children were chosen by his wives, not him. He explained that Reena, his first wife, selected the names Junaid and Ira—pointing out that Ira is another name for the goddess Saraswati, derived from 'Irawati,' a name she found in Maneka Gandhi's Book of Hindu Names. Aamir Khan also shared that his son Azad was named by his second wife, Kiran Rao . She chose the name to honour their family's connection to Maulana Azad, a key figure in India's freedom struggle who fought alongside leaders like Nehru, Gandhi, and Patel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Harry Potter Actors Who Grew Up Stunningly.
