It's been years since Kim Kibum left Super Junior. Even though he is no longer a member of the group, Kibum still has a lot of support from Super Junior fans. This has also become a concern of many people.
Previously, Kibum finally revealed the reason for leaving the group in the YouTube segment with Kim Heechul. In the video, Kibum also revealed that he refused to appear on TV after leaving because he didn't want his words to harm Super Junior.
Heechul said, "Since he's really a Super Junior member, it's only natural for people to want to know about his relationship with the group. After hearing Kibum talk about this, I also felt worried about what I should say. I know he's not the type to sell. Super Junior's name. In the end, he refused to appear on many shows and told me, 'What can I say about Super Junior when I'm not working as part of a team?' So he turned down the offer to appear. "
Heechul continued, "But there is something you have to say at least once. It's undeniable that people will bring up your old group. The problem is that when we debuted, there was something we hated. We debuted as a 12 member group, and then, Kyuhyun joined and we are happily promoting as a 13 member group. "
Netizens reacted positively after finding out what Kibum was doing. They admire him as someone who doesn't want to just mention the name Super Junior for the sake of popularity and offers to appear on television.
"This is why Kim Kibum is still supported by Super Junior fans. He has never used the name Super Junior for his benefit since he left the group in 2009. Not even though his acting career is largely based in China," commented netizens.
"I know he's a good person. Heechul also still takes good care of him. Their continued friendship warms my heart," said another netizen. "I wish you the best, Kim Kibum," said another.
"I can understand why many fans still love him. It's different from one person who is still in the group haha," said netizens. "He is a wise man," commented another. "Everyone understands when he leaves the group. I prefer to say he 'graduated' from the group, not 'left,'" added another. (wk / dewi)
