1. [+1,006, -28] I don't even know what to say....; What exactly happened so suddenly
2. [+778, -28] I still can't believe it... please say it's not true.. Who will sing 'Aluminium' if not Van... I was going to see him at their concert after my college entrance exams..
3. [+764, -24] May he rest in peace... hopefully he can finish his dreams in another place.. ㅠㅠ
4. [+578, -17] He's someone I liked so much.. I still listen to his songs. I trust that he'll continue singing wherever he is now. May he rest in peace.
5. [+557, -21] Rest in peace. The song 'Aluminium' touched my heart. Thank you for letting us hear your voice.
6. [+79, -3] It was literally just last Sunday that he was with his fans performing at live club day last week.. ㅠㅠ I can't believe this. Rest in peace.
7. [+76, -2] I pray that the cold aluminium has become a shining crystal
8. [+76, -6] A band I truly looked up to. Our band still performs Broken Valentine's songs... I think I'm going to choke up every time we perform their songs on stage now. I still can't believe it. We'll never hear his powerful voice again. We'll remember you forever. Thank you for all that you've done!
Such A Beautiful Voice, Such A Young Talented Artist. Rest In Peace Van
