As the discussion went viral, Kang Daniel's Album Support Team released on announcement onto the online community forum concerning the donations. The announcement reads,
"We are Kang Daniel's Album Support Team.
Currently, his album 'MAGENTA's is being shipped to a donation center. We have donated numbers in the amount requested by the donation center. We are the ones in charge of shipping the album.
Our team is currently participating in the donation event with good intentions and a good heart. Despite that, there are people who have taken photos of the process and used it to our disadvantage. The donation centers were happy about the albums donated and have taken the photos themselves.
To those who continue to use the photos to slander the artist or the fandom, we will be taking the appropriate legal actions.
We would like thank DANITYs who continue to support Kang Daniel and the team."

"I don't know why they are donating the albums, to begin with. I think the album team just bought the albums to increase the album sales of the artists and now they're just giving away the album."
"That's too much. It is not like they are donating money. What use does an album have to those in need of charity?"
