I took a break & I still don't think i have right words go express my thoughts. Ultimately, I am just praying for her & her loved ones.
Beyond that, I do not agree with ppl taking this as an opportunity to:
(a) blame & harrass ppl for what occurred;
(b) tweet vile things about her or what happened;
(c) make the situation about themselves;
(d) write psychological dissertations about parasocialism from a self-perceived moral superiority; and/or
(e) speculate about the situation without facts.
IMO we should exercise empathy towards this very tragic situation & just try to be kinder to each other going forward.

Okay, i'll bite. I have been a corporate lawyer for 7 years, so here are my thoughts on why I disagree with boycott.
My first question is what kind of lawyer is this person? Criminal lawyers and civil lawyers are very different. Transactional lawyers and litigators are very different. Being a lawyer doesnt guarantee increased knowledge or experience in this field.
Second, there is a reoccurring joke that lawyers are bad at math, so...
Third, ppl have already tried boycotting En before and it didn't work. The company has already analyzed the data and knows some of you will try to do this again. This type of decision requires significant consult with various departments within the company, including their legal team. They made this decision knowing the various possible outcomes, including short term losses.
A boycott isnt going to affect Hybe, especially not with the very profitable comeback they are about to have, but it will, however, hurt the members' bargaining power for negotiations and it will also appear very discouraging to 6 ppl who have bravely decided to continue on in thr face of such a huge change.
I understand everyone wants to do everything they can to improve all seven members' working conditions, but a boycott is unlikely to work and is very likely to just hurt the boys.
Instead, we should be increasing our support so they can go into negotiations with significant leverage that will allow them to demand for better treatment.
