He decided to show his sincerity with longer posts. However, they weren’t well-received at all. Making everyone laugh, Kang Ha Neul revealed fans’ comments, “So I started writing a lot. Then people told me not to write too much.”

His co-star, actress Jung So Min, described the actor’s feelings best, “It didn’t meet your sentiment.” Rather than post on Instagram, Kang Ha Neul shares his warm personality and sincerity to fans through other means.
