[1] "Then everything is a rumour except for him smoking?"
[2] "But rather than it being completely false, they just said it was 'over exaggerated' so there still seems to be some truth there."
[3] "I never believed it from the start."
[4] "Then what sparked it from the beginning?"
[5] "It doesn't mean that it's completely false. It was just taken too far. His smoking pictures are definitely true though."
[6] "I'm sorry that I believed in those rumours. I'm really sorry."
[7] "I don't believe it because it's from his friend. Of course his friend would protect him... there were a lot of victims.... the recording, the letter, and even the conversation all point to that."
[8] "Ah... just what exactly is the truth? Even so, the fact that he smoked is 100% true."
[9] "It's such a shame that his image was ruined because of it."
[10] "I felt that he fit with Ikon the most too... I feel really bad for him."
