"They say kpop is just a phase, then nct 127 is one of the best phases of my life. I wouldn’t ever trade this with anything else❤️🩹"
Indeed... best times of my life... they gave me so many good and bad memories that I would cherish until I'm dead
You wouldn’t understand the pain chilzens are going through, unless you’re a chilzen yourself.
We’ve been haunted by the fear of uncertainties since late 2023, looking at the whole world going while they force 127 to hold and sit back. To me, everyday was just a waiting game, when would the bad news come. But the members always had their way of saying that they’re not going anywhere, and that helped me build my trust again although still with caution.
I still trust the members. And it still hurts knowing they lost a member without achieving more of their dreams together. And it still hurts thinking about all the what ifs. But I still trust the members and I will always trust the members.
They say kpop is just a phase, then nct 127 is one of the best phases of my life. I wouldn’t ever trade this with anything else❤️🩹
ternyata beda umur beda sudut pandang. dulu sebel kenapa farel milih luna, padahal ya pantes lagian rambut rachel kayak orang²an roblox😭 (bukan ya guys bukan itu)
1. orang yg terkena penyakit sirosis ga mungkin tetep cantik kayak luna
2. kokopan kena darahnya jirr???? kan luna sakit??
3. rachel ngapain trail run? pdhl tinggal tunggu aja luna meninggoy terus perjuangin farel lagi, ngapain bingung? dasar cewe bingung.
4. rachel masih bisa hidup lebih lama, masih sadar, kok dg mudahnya minta donorin hati ke luna? itu sm aja dokternya ngelakuin pembun*uhan ga sih?
5. yg didonorin hati tapi kenapa judulnya "Heart"?? harusnya judulnya "Liver" awowkwokw
i think a lot of k-pop fans oversimplify this conversation. leaving SM or any company isn’t automatically the better move just because they has a terrible reputation.
yes, SM has plenty of flaws. but they’re also one of the biggest companies in the industry with resources, infrastructure, connections, production teams, marketing, touring power, and global distribution that very few companies can match.
more artistic freedom is definitely a huge advantage of leaving, but that freedom often comes with tradeoffs. you’re also giving up a system that’s been built over decades. we’ve seen idols thrive after leaving, and we’ve also seen others struggle with visibility, promotions, or maintaining the same momentum.
it’s kind of like working at one of the big corporate firms. the management might be awful, but the resources, network, and opportunities are hard to replicate elsewhere. leaving can absolutely be the right decision for some people, but it’s not automatically the better one.
it’s honestly not that different from working in a big corporate company. how many of us complain about our bosses every single day and joke about resigning? but we’re still there because of the salary, the opportunities, the colleagues we’ve grown close to, the environment we’ve become familiar with, and the career we’ve built. hating your management doesn’t automatically mean leaving is the best decision.
it’s the same with idols. we hear them complain about the company sometimes, but we don’t know everything that’s keeping them there. maybe it’s the people they work with every day, the team behind them, the stability, the resources, or simply because they believe it’s still the best place for this stage of their career.
fans only see a tiny fraction of what goes on behind the scenes. the members are the ones living that reality every day. if they choose to stay or renew, it’s probably because they’ve weighed every pro and con far more carefully than we ever could. the least we can do is respect that decision.
