If I were in San’s position, especially with how viral he’s become lately, I’d ask the members to be extra careful about every word they say about me. And if they aren’t confident that their words won’t be misunderstood or taken out of context, I’d rather they not mention me at all
Alright, I wanted to share both my translation and my own thoughts on this. If you have a moment, I'd really appreciate it if you could read until the end 🙇♀️
Also... it's 5:30 am and I haven't slept since yesterday, so I'm keeping this in bullet points before my brain gives up
1. Sn doesn't have authority over ys. They're the same age, they're teammates, and they're equals. This wasn't a manager or trainer telling an idol to lose weight, so ys was free to take the advice or simply ignore it.
2. Ys chose to diet himself and even described it as a personal challenge. Overlooking that takes away his agency as a 27 year old adult who's fully capable of making his own decisions. I think it's important to respect that his choice was his own.
3. If you've watched sn's lives over time, you'll probably notice he's actually very consistent with his advice: "Eat what you enjoy, just work out harder". He's never encouraged starving yourself or extreme restriction. That's very different from promoting unhealthy dieting.
4. Sn is actually leaner this era rather than bulking. Physiques like Sn's and ys's aren't built through crash dieting, especially considering atz's choreography and performance schedule. It's simply not sustainable to under-eat while performing at that intensity.

“HE IS SELFISH FOR GOING VIRAL”
I genuinely wish he’d stop bringing up San, whether it’s with his fans or during lives. Just skip every question or comment about San and move on. Some of his fans are seriously unhinged.
one thing id advise ppl who got to know atz through this cb is to never get involved in the fandom
it's maybe one of the worst things i have ever done
being a casual fan is the best
this fandom clearly has issues and holds grudges against certain members
They’re just trying to deny reality. This isn’t the first time. Every time San goes viral, they recycle the exact same narrative.
Neither San’s fans nor the new fans are obsessed with his body. His appeal has never been about his physique alone. It’s a combination of many things—his personality, stage presence, facial expressions, charisma, talent, and performance. His physique is just one part of the whole, not the only reason people are drawn to him, no matter how much some people try to paint it that way.
This fandom keeps acting like San is only famous because of his body, but in reality, the Korean Shorts that showcase his personality are the ones getting the most views. 🥱
