first and foremost beomhan should have been off the internet long ago. like im talking back when he revealed his sh scars on a livestream & talked about destroying his apartment. his management have been so so lacking in their approach – if hes going to promote as an idol he needs to be in the right headspace and have media training to stop this kind of thing from happening.
his first few comments were so stupid. but on twitter i noticed how FAST people were taking things out of context to make things seem even more so. the r slur thing (which he read from a comment), and the “calling all women bitches” thing (a.k.a all the commenters on his stream) i can see, in his position, how it would be frustrating to have these kind of things blown up and put against him, even though they should not have been said in the first place.
everything could have been resolved with an apology, a break from the internet, and some accountability – but he responded so inappropriately, and the people in his comments making it worse are not more virtuous by any means as half of their info was taken out of context and used as bait to make him freak out even more.
i am not defending him or his actions at all. this all could have been avoided if he’d taken the election results seriously and not been insensitive about it (i mean come on, “rip women / congratulations trump on your win / take a mental health day and go shopping or something” – really??) – better yet, if he’d gotten some psychological help before even stepping into a career like that.
his reactions were so incredibly out of line and he deserves to have his platform taken away for a while. BUT – given his past reckless behaviours, people knew he’d keep going with the live & kept egging him on for content rather than to “raise awareness” or “educate him”. half the people “speaking out” against him just wanted to get a reaction from him. it’s a spectacle.
i hope beomhan is given help and has his wider internet access revoked for a long while.
