People not joining the boycott because it “doesn’t affect their fave” don’t understand that if one LI can be deleted like this, THEN all of them can! What if Chinese netizens decide they don’t like Sylus, Caleb, Zayne, Rafayel and Xavier no more? THIS AFFECTS THEM ALL
Zealots: “We won!”
𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: The Main Story of ‘Love and Deepspace’ is now 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻. Valko is not an optional addition to the narrative, he is a foundational pillar of it. The game’s lore was meticulously constructed around 6 LIs from the very beginning, making his presence indispensable (please refer to the quoted post below for a detailed breakdown). The game introduced the Light-Trio (Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel) at launch, followed later by their counterparts, the Dark-Trio (Sylus, Caleb, Valko).
This game has always intended to feature 6 LIs as the foundation of it’s worldbuilding. Valko was never a newly conceived character, his presence had been subtly woven throughout the Main Story from the very beginning — a detail the zealots overlooked because they evidently paid no attention to the narrative. Even the game’s UI was designed with 6 LIs in mind. The 6 Stellactrums, each corresponding to a LI’s eye colour, further reinforces that this 6-character structure was planned from the outset —
💙 Sapphire (blue): Xavier
❤️ Ruby (red): Sylus
💚 Emerald (green): Zayne
💜 Violet (purple): Caleb
🩷 Pearl (pink): Rafayel
💛 Amber (yellow): Valko
The next Main Story chapters were intended to begin immediately after Valko’s arc. Without that crucial segment, the narrative cannot naturally advance. The much-awaited Main Story updates for Sylus and Caleb were meant to follow, leading into the ‘Timelock Event’ featuring Caleb and Valko, before culminating in a major Dark-Trio storyline. Removing Valko disrupts that entire narrative progression.
And now, Otome games are being mass-targeted by high-ranking officials in China who reportedly harbours disdain for a genre primarily catered to women [more information here: https://t.co/hmVMYLM6cQ]. Paper Games itself is being targeted after the zealots escalated this situation by filing false reports, seemingly unable to distinguish fiction from reality [evidence here: https://t.co/2ZZCHRfH8g].
What makes the situation even more disheartening is that instead of reinforcing their policies against harassment and defending creative freedom of the developers, Paper Games seems to be yielding to the demands of a vocal minority who are infamous for mass-harassing players across both the Global and Chinese fandoms.
Today, it is ‘Love and Deepspace’. Tomorrow, it could be other Chinese Otome games. If they believe removing Valko will somehow keep the other LIs safe, they are gravely mistaken. If anything, everyone stands to lose the games they have come to cherish and find comfort in.
Once again, Valko is the narrative bridge. 🐾 Without him, the Main Story cannot advance. Not for Sylus, not for Caleb, and not for anyone else.

Six months later, on my account, someone will ask me, "Were you there when Valko was canceled?"
And I'll answer :
"Yes... I've been fighting for him since that day. And now, look at us. We survived. We're okay now. We can meet him ingame & interact with him now"
Valko has accidentally become the most popular love and Deepspace character in the span of THREE DAYS… the star power infold is loosing cause they’re idiots baffles me #BringBackValko
His personality was made for first born daughters.
He was made for reserved and introverted women.
He was made for women who don’t want to lose control over things, but they always dream of it.
He was made for women like me!

Stray Kids 승민 스케줄 관련 안내
Notice Regarding Seungmin's Schedule
안녕하세요, JYPE입니다.
Stray Kids 승민 스케줄과 관련하여 추가 안내드립니다.
우선, 아티스트의 건강 상태로 인해 팬 여러분께 지속적으로 심려를 끼쳐드리게 된 점 진심으로 사과드립니다.
승민은 이전 안내드린 바와 같이 의료진의 소견에 따라 치료를 이어가고 있으며, 아티스트의 빠른 회복이 무엇보다 우선되어야 한다고 판단하여 현재 휴식과 치료에 집중하고 있습니다.
이에 따라 승민은 해당 기간 동안 진행된 일부 촬영 스케줄에 불참하거나, 부상 부위의 상태를 최우선으로 고려해 최소한으로 참여하였습니다. 이로 인해 향후 공개 예정인 일부 콘텐츠에서도 승민의 참여가 제한적일 수 있는 점 팬 여러분의 너른 양해 부탁드립니다.
아티스트는 활동에 대한 강한 의지를 보였으나, 빠른 시일 내에 건강한 모습으로 팬 여러분을 찾아뵙기 위해 충분한 논의 끝에 이와 같이 결정하게 되었습니다.
향후 예정된 주요 공식 스케줄에 대해서도 아티스트의 컨디션과 회복 상태를 지속적으로 확인할 예정이며, 특이사항이 있을 경우 별도 안내드리겠습니다.
거듭 좋지 않은 소식을 전해드리게 된 점 다시 한번 진심으로 사과드리며, 당사는 아티스트가 하루빨리 건강을 회복할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠습니다.
감사합니다.
Hello, this is JYPE.
We would like to provide an additional update regarding Stray Kids member Seungmin's schedule.
First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the continued concern surrounding the artist's health condition.
As previously announced, Seungmin has been receiving treatment in accordance with the medical staff's recommendations and is currently focusing on rest and recovery, as we believe that his health must remain the top priority.
Accordingly, Seungmin's participation in scheduled content filming was adjusted based on his recovery status. While he was unable to participate in some filming, his involvement in others was kept to a minimum. As a result, his appearance in some upcoming content may be limited. We kindly ask for your understanding.
Although Seungmin expressed a strong desire to continue participating in activities, after thorough discussions, it was decided to prioritize his recovery so that he can return to fans in good health as soon as possible.
We will continue to prioritize Seungmin's health while closely monitoring his recovery and participation in upcoming official schedules. Should there be any updates, we will inform you through a separate notice.
We once again extend our sincere apologies for the continued concern. We will continue to prioritize Seungmin's health and recovery.
Thank you.
