However, despite his seemingly non-negative commentary, fans still feel hurt and betrayed by Nam Tae Hyun and left a load of hate comments on the broadcast. Tae Hyun ah, who are you to judge the talent of WINNER members? And you're asking a lot of attention for WINNER? Who are you to promote the group..", "I couldn't sleep last night after watching the V app because I was so mad. The moment he mentioned WINNER, he talked in a mocking tone and the staff members were all laughing. It was nuts", "Stop talking about WINNER", "He's really crazy and I was about to go crazy out of anger. Who is he to sing WINNER's song and judge the members?"
