I was just reminded of this when commenting on another post, but I can clearly remember only 3 times I cried over something kpop related.
-
Luhan leaving EXO
-
Hearing about Jonghyun’s death
-
B.A.P.’s farewell comeback
When he who shall not be named left EXO, I was just kind of mad at both him and SM. Like yes, I’m sure SM did treat him very poorly, but did he have to leave the week before their first tour??? Like that put the other members in such a difficult spot. When Luhan left, though, I cried. I was of course sad to see he was pushed so terribly by SM, but it also hit me that the whole group was pretty fragile now and might not be able to continue as long as they wanted. (Thankfully, we know that EXO, Luhan, and Tao are all thriving now 
)
I was absolutely drowning in university between 2017 and 2018. So of course, I had not been following any kpop news. I only know about new releases when Spotify showed them to me. I saw a new album from Jonghyun and got super excited. A few weeks later, I go to search something about either him or the album and I saw the first result was his Wikipedia with a death date. After that, I read about the cause of death. I was in the library, so I had to find a far corner to cry in because I was a mess. (I had recently experienced a loss of my own, however, which probably heightened my response.)
I found out about the Bang&Jung&Yoo&Moon comeback when their first Curtain Call teasers popped up in my YouTube recommendations. I was an og BABY, but hadn’t kept up with them or kpop in general much after Wake Me Up because I got super overwhelmed with university. (I’m still mad that I missed their tour. I didn’t find out about it until after it ended. They were literally 3 hours away 
) Anyway, I went to their new company’s channel and started watching their mini documentary. I was misty when Youngguk was sharing his post BAP experience, but Daehyun had me sobbing.
