However, a notable portion of netizens who encountered the post rallied to defend Nayoung.
They applauded her honesty and deep contemplation, rebuking those who labeled her as selfish.

Comments from netizens included:

  • "She's right. Big companies invest heavily, but if she's not committed for the long haul, it's a relief she left now."
  • "The group would have faced challenges in the long run, given her aspirations."
  • "Perhaps she envisions a solo career with a strong Korean base, not a global group. People have diverse dreams, so why criticize her?"
  • "Her honesty shines through. She didn't pretend to aim for a group debut and then go solo. These are her genuine thoughts. Why criticize her silently?"
  • "Without the full context, it seems she's determined to pursue a solo debut from the start. Who can blame her for that?"
  • "She likely realizes she's not cut out for a group. Leaving early is better than debuting and quitting later."

As she embarks on her journey beyond "Dream Academy," fans are eagerly anticipating her future endeavors, recognizing that her path may lead to a successful solo career where her individuality can shine.
