At the time, it was reported that Sero, having lost his parents at a young age and experiencing sudden environmental changes, felt lonely and showed increased rebellious behavior, evoking sympathy.

Meanwhile, news that Sero now has a girlfriend has sparked congratulations from netizens, with comments like "Sero, be happy," and "That's great. Now walk only on flower paths with your girlfriend."
