Basically, something everyone already knew seeing as the pineappleing servers were offline and they couldn't get into the game, he was just trying to show a positive sign from the moderation team by saying, "hey, we know there's a problem", which is more than most GMs do. Probably because they get fired if they do.
It seems like the Korean game companies share a ruthless attitude that there should be no contact with the players beyond whatever is necessary to extract the maximum money from them, and the players should never, ever be treated with honesty, openness and respect. They no more want to fraternize with the players than muggers do with their victims.
