Yet, while many felt emotional for the members, the statements received backlash from fans. Some thought that the “words” seemed empty and that they wanted to see actions from the members to show their remorse for the poor anniversary planning.

empty words if no action will be taken #sorry

I think it’s valid to say I’m so disappointed and it really not moved me. You can post something like this in the next year, or the following years. What matters is your action 🙁

The apologies won’t change à thing actually it’s just waist of time
Watch them do the same thing in the next anniversary if they didn’t disband
We need actions not words
