Zico's fans beg him to provide an alibi to clear his name. Meanwhile, armchair detectives double down on theories.

OP: "Oh, what are you talking about?/Oh, that thing?"

COMMENTS

-[👍231,👎11] "It seems like it's really Zico. If it wasn't, he would have made a fuss or at least done a live broadcast to deny it, but he's too quiet. Suing for false information is too weak compared to what Seungri and Jung Joon-young did."

-[👍216,👎2] "Isn't it just Zico?"

-[👍161,👎2] "In the past, when there were rumours of him getting back together with Seolhyun, he immediately refuted it. Isn't it strange that he just issued a notice of complaint without saying clearly that it wasn't him?"

-[👍144,👎1] "Why would a celebrity be crazy enough to steal from a safe? -> Seungri and Jung Joon-young are also celebrities."

---[👍28,👎0] "Seriously, there have been plenty of celebrities committing worse crimes. Would a celebrity steal a safe, logically speaking? It's the funniest thing to say ㅋㅋㅋ."

-[👍134,👎2] "Zico just needs to confirm his alibi for that specific day and time, and the issue will be resolved. If I were in his position, I would definitely prove it if I faced this level of suspicion. If he was at home, he could review all the elevator CCTV footage from that day. By checking his schedule or phone, he could at least determine when he left and returned home. If he was outside, he could mention who he met, and there are CCTVs everywhere. I hope he provides proof; otherwise, it would be extremely unfair for him."

-[👍18,👎27] "You guys are trying really hard to get sued."

-[👍9,👎0] "The comments are not being malicious. I think he need to explain it in detail. Because the situation has gotten out of hand.."

-[👍8,👎0] "Rather than posting a notice of complaint, you should post what you did that day. During the GD drug incident, GD resolved the injustice by appearing directly at the police rather than filing a complaint."

-[👍6,👎0] "Articles keep appearing in the news. If you refute it clearly, it will end. Why don't you do it? You can hold a press conference, or if that's too over the top, write about it on Instagram."

-[👍2,👎0] "The culprit needs to be caught quickly so we can resolve Zico’s injustice."

-[👍0,👎0] "The comments on Instagram are going crazy ㅡㅡ They say Zico was broadcasting on the radio at that time. Is this true?"

-[👍0,👎0] "Of course celebs shouldn't address every rumor, but in a situation as serious as this, I wish he would unequivocally deny it if it's untrue. He's not in a high-ranking position where reputation is critically important, but staying silent could potentially harm it further. If innocent, expressing his frustration would be the best course. Please..."
