"It was a great privilege to play for Swansea for five years," Ki wrote on Instagram. "Just want to say thanks to all Swansea fans who always gave passionate support to us every single game.
"[In the] last couple of years personally I felt sorry to the fans about our inconsistent performances on the pitch and really feel frustrated and disappointed about what happened to us [on Sunday], but I believe Swansea will come back stronger and will find the philosophy of Swansea Football Club for the fans. Also [a] big thanks to all my team-mates it was a great joy to work with you guys on and off the pitch. I wish all the best of luck in the future to everyone once again thanks."
