Another pointed out that when New was asked about the secret to THE BOYZ's growth, he replied that it was 100% their effort and that they put a lot of time into practice. However, co-member Ju Haknyeon replied that it is 99% due to their fans.

Comments concerning New's messages read,

"I don't like that he brings other people down. I know his friend will probably not see this, but if they come across it by accident, he will be so hurt."

"I get what he is trying to say, but the way he says it is so vulgar. He is just bringing others down to raise himself up. He could have just said, 'As long as they are satisfied with their lives, that's what matters.'"

"I don't understand why he is always trying to act like a teacher."

"The way he is trying to emphasize 'good university' makes his message so transparent."

"Did this person get recruited as a BTS member? I would like to have at least half of his confidence."
