- “Even bipolar disorder… it will be possible for him to continue his career…”
- “I think he could have made his promotions because he was in front of staff and colleagues he felt comfortable with.”
- “He had panic disorder for the first time in 2017… he even cried during a variety show after the cameras went off.”
- “He also shared that it was harder when he didn’t have a schedule. So it seems like things get worse when he does nothing. Since he can’t do anything during his military service, it must have gotten worse.

- “I knew Dispatch would do something like this…”
- “Some ask him how he fulfilled his commitments, but his condition may have worsened while he was in the army. We don’t know what exactly happened, so we can’t say anything for sure. People around me who suffer from panic disorder are usually fine one day and suddenly gone the next. I feel bad. He must have had some difficulties during the broadcasts. He could scale back his plans when things got worse.
- “Normal people put up with it and even go to work. Stop talking bad about him.
- “If he had refused to be discharged early, he might not have wanted the matter to be discovered. The journalist should have checked carefully before publishing.
- “They said he suffers from panic and bipolar disorder… do you know how difficult it is for someone who suffers from a mental illness? Don’t talk about it so easily.”
