Teen Top's Niel run into trouble with fans after he was spotted going overseas with a woman. Fans assumed that the lady with him was his girlfriend because she was the same person who was rumored to be his special someone in 2015.
Fans felt betrayed because in 2015, Niel denied that the lady is his girlfriend, but then they saw him with her again and this time they were even going for a vacation outside of Korea. The pair alongside co-Teen Top member Chunji was spotted at the airport and photos were uploaded on various social networking sites.
The photos outraged many fans and in anger, they shut down most of the fan pages which they are running especially for Niel. When one will go to the pages, they will only see the notices saying "permanently closed," "goodbye" and "please unfollow me."
It was explained that the the Teen Top's fandom members called Angels are not angry because he is dating. They were infuriated as they think Niel lied to them.
At any rate, seeing how things have turned out, the "Spring Love" singer posted a letter of apology on Teen Top's official fan cafe. The message was handwritten and he once again denied he is dating.
The idol started his letter with a greeting and introduction of himself. He then said that he is sincerely sorry for causing everyone to worry due to his dating scandal.
Niel explained that he planned the vacation after his promotions have ended. He reiterated that the friends he went with were just close friends but due to his carelessness, fans may have misunderstood.
At the end of Niel's message, he apologized for he disappointed the fans and made the promise to work harder in the future. The singer added that he reflect and will do his best not to commit the same mistake again.
Finally, prior to issuing his apology, TOP Media already released a statement regarding the rumors."It is true that Niel traveled with 3 others on the 9th, but they are all just friends," Hype Malaysia quoted the agency's rep as saying.
