Days following the eruption of the controversy, RIIZE surprised fans with a lengthy vlog documenting Anton's time spent in New Jersey.

In the comment section of the vlog, fans expressed their unwavering support and sympathy for the idol amidst the adversity he faced.

Despite the tumultuous period, Anton's genuine sincerity towards his fans and dedication to his craft have not gone unnoticed.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE NETIZENS' COMMENTS:
There's nothing wrong, but getting criticized to this extent feels absurd and insane. On top of that, forced reasons keep multiplying endlessly. However, seeing fans unite because sincerity is proven, and realizing that even compliments are insufficient, it reminds me that resistance is necessary for momentum. Still, I hope such things won't happen again.
It was just a small incident, but it's becoming the core now... Anton, I hope you gain strength and realize that there are more fans who believe in you, cherish you, and love you.

Thinking that Lee Chan-young is being criticized for no reason makes me so sad and angry... He's so sincere to us like this...
