this “closure” everyone is talking about doesn’t really make any sense to me, i’m sorry.
the inconsistencies have been there since the beginning.
- he spoiled a world tour. if his departure had already been planned, why would he tease something he supposedly knew he wouldn’t be part of?
- en-o’clock’s new season barely started with one episode before suddenly going on hiatus. if everything had already been planned, why did that happen?
- he had tickets for australia that were cancelled right before the trip. if his departure had already been decided, why were those plans still in place?
- he had been talking about releasing a mixtape for over a year, not just two songs.
- overflow was written after his departure. so what happened to the music he had been working on before? and regardless of interpretation, the song’s own lyrics naturally raise questions.
- there were collaborations and projects involving him that had already been planned. if everyone already knew he was leaving, why continue planning them?
- why were the members obviously unable to freely mention each other throughout all of this? that’s very weird.
and these are only a few examples.
so genuinely, what kind of closure are people talking about?
because for me, an emotional documentary isn’t the same thing as transparency.
i’m sure it’ll be emotional, just like the overflow mv. i probably won’t watch it because i know it won’t be good for me emotionally.
but is it going to answer the questions i’ve had since march? i don’t think so, not really.
what frustrates me the most is that we’re acting as if those questions suddenly disappeared, when the company spent months releasing content and making decisions that many fans found very difficult to reconcile.
if this documentary gives you closure, it’s okay i guess. but it just won’t give me the answers i’ve been looking for. that’s it.
