With the recent situation, it’s so good to see atleast international fans banding together and agreeing that what happened to him was absolutely vile. He didn’t deserve any of this and we hope he can live his life peacefully from now on. Also the decision to leave the group was his own but we all can agree he was bullied out and there wasn’t much of choice here for him.
But it’s so funny to see people calling this out, having hit tweets with 100k likes and when you go through their profiles, they have perpetuated the same toxicity towards other idols/groups. The hypocrisy of some people is insane. This stands true even on reddit where some people are the first to shit on certain groups talking about how idols are human too (even though reddit likes to act superior). K-pop fans themselves are the bullys they’re condemning now. The call is coming from inside the house.
While international (western) fans have been better in this particular situation, they have also bullied idols for way less. It’s just that they don’t have the same amount of power over idols like k-fans or c-fans have.
For the past few months, knetz opinion when directed towards certain groups was so funny to people. The same people angry now were kekeing over it. I’m sorry if I don’t trust these people to be actually against bullying. I feel this is cycle where an idol goes through something like this, people agree it’s bad yet go on to perpetuate the same behaviour again. And when the next idol isn’t subjected to the same behaviour, people are angry and because it happened to someone else in the past, it should happen again.
So I’m sorry when I don’t trust the k-pop community to be actually against bullying. They’ll be back to bullying a new group/ a new idol next day.
