especially with his sister in the public eye it feels important to say. the loss of a loved one is an incredibly private matter and i hope we can collectively give the people he was close with space to get through this however they see fit. i don't want to see zoom-ins on peoples' faces to analyze if they have been crying or any judgements on someone's person based on their decision to work or not work for a while
actually before i log off i have to say this. since the bb thing a few adults have taken the opportunity to make comments about how it’s ok to stan groups full of minors so long as you’re not engaging with content inappropriately ie only listening to the music etc and i suppose I’d be inclined to agree if in the case of n*wjeans it were a situation where you’d be listening to normal music from a normal group who happen to be minors. but i do feel like you guys are either missing the point or ignoring the problem on purpose. streaming the music and buying the album directly supports them. it doesn’t ‘inappropriately’ interact with them as an adult in the way that running a blog dedicated to their face does, but it tells min heejin that their concept (which is built around the hypersexualisation of minors such as brooke shields — PLEASE look it up it’s virtually confirmed, there are naked photos of her as a minor as well as other kids on mhj’s vision boards) is what people WANT to see and what SELLS. it’s in the lyrics and in the music videos. when mhj says it’s not, people take it at face value with 0 critical thinking because they don’t want to be dubbed weirdos for it, but it doesn’t change fact. and the fact that people support the group and mhj regardless of that tells her that it’s something to be overlooked and it’s not a big enough issue for it to affect sales and popularity. hence the fact it’s given her the ability to repeat the formula with a boy group now. we have been having this conversation since the debut now and im not interested in trying to drill it through your heads anymore but at this point i feel like you guys should at the very least acknowledge that you don’t actually care about the real harm that this is causing as a whole to children rather than patting yourselves on the back because ‘well I only stream the music sometimes!’ like yeah, that still counts as support and that’s up to you. but it doesn’t really absolve you of responsibility and i think if you were truly honest with yourselves you’d take a step back and realise that any kind of engagement plays directly into mhj’s hand and pockets.
ik y'all are not trying to stan the new ceo of sm just bc he wore a nct shirt. c'mon now focus. say it with me. 'no hero. not cartoon. multiple people can be insufferable awful businessmen at the same time'
gwsn are ending their contract due to company mistreatment such as refusal to pay rent which led to the girls all being evicted, gwsn staff leaving the company without a word, not being fed, not being paid their wages, and not renewing visas for the foreign members, ultimately leading to fines and criminal records.
