1. [+2,782, -238] If he's not going to retire from the industry, there's really no other solution than to directly confirm it. I think he handled it the best he could... and technically he's a victim in all of this too. The embarrassment he'll have to suffer for the rest of his life is enough punishment, no?
2. [+2,059, -188] It's not like he committed a crime. It's just an embarrassing situation ã… find strength
3. [+1,474, -88] It is quite embarrassing
4. [+1,179, -130] So why did the person record it? Isn't the person weird for recording him doing that too?
5. [+510, -40] It's really just a victory of mentality. This is really the only solution for him... and I give him a lot of credit for admitting it earlier on.

1. [+835, -81] I feel bad for him ã…¡ã…¡.. it's embarrassing and yet it's not something he should have to hide for the rest of his life over...
2. [+789, -115] People calling him thick skinned even after he confirms it ã…‹ã…‹ well you were hating on him for denying it, now you're hating on him for admitting it? He didn't commit a crime, he's actually a victim if you think about it, so why does he deserve any hate anyway? So should victims of sex scandals like this just quit and live in hiding??? He was brave enough to admit it was him so that he can continue to put food on the table, why drag him down for that?
3. [+660, -46] So he finally admits it... quite brave indeed. Celebrities are so different from us in mentality.
4. [+53, -3] I think it's great that he's raising the standards for victims like this. All of the people who thought of ending their lives over suffering from something similar will see him and see that life may be worth another attempt instead of giving up so fast.
5. [+51, -6] If you think about it, he did nothing wrong. He didn't commit a crime. I really don't know why he's getting hate. He finally admitted so all that's left for him is being ridiculed as the nation's fapper for the rest of his career but I'm sure that's something he knew going into this..
6. [+49, -5] Way better being honest than denying it
7. [+42, -3] I'm seeing some comments saying we should forgive him but is this anything to forgive him over? There was no crime committed... he's a victim. Why do we allow celebrities who commit crimes like drunk driving, gambling, and drugs come back to promote after a so called period of reflection but people like him get called thick skinned... I think it's great to see him just admit it and move on with life.
8. [+27, -6] Come to think of it, I have been treating him like a criminal when he's actually the victim... As honest as he's being, I hope he recovers well.
9. [+23, -2] I think the fact that he's big in size works in his favor
10. [+21, -1] He didn't rape anyone, he didn't leak anyone's videos, he's a victim in all of this. It's going to be awkward seeing him in dramas and such knowing what we do ã…‹ã…‹ but it's a waste of a career for him to just give up.
