Let me explain for people who don't get why some fans are frustrated. Its not that they are 9 members now, the problem is how it's being handled. Acting as if they were never band mates for almost 10 years, pretending it never happened at all+
I feel like ppl are purposely acting dense when it comes to chani… why would he willingly stay in the company, when he’s been robbed/mistreated by them. What makes you think CHANHEE, of all people, would choose a company he’s been with for a year over his members of 9+ years
i hate atinys omg, they're so fcking unserious help- we have Yunho breaking up with his gf and everyone is making fun of the poor boy in my timeline 😭😭
you not black first. or a woman first. you’re a black woman. that’s it. your experience with misogyny is unique because of racism. your experience with racism is different because you’re a woman. the term ‘intersectionality’ exists because our experience is so unique.
a kpop idol could deadass go live and say "i hate black people they're ghetto melon munching monkeys who should 🎲" and a stupid airhead ass kpop stan will still say "Um not everyone knows american politics 🙄"
I imagine Ohm, who will continue to play Deris, and the new actor to replace Megus are feeling anxious about whether their new pairing will be accepted. Please remember that most Divas are kind and gentle, and they want to support your endeavors. And because JimmyOhm fans were hurt so much, I predict that fewer will hurt the new actor. Even if you see some critical comments, remember that these are truly the opinions of a minority, and 99.9% of fans are looking forward to your new success.
We're rooting for your new way.

You’ll never convince me that people catching themselves in unsavoury thoughts or feelings and self-regulating out of them is a bad thing for humanity. We need more of that actually. More of people who admit they’re capable of evil (and work through it) than those who think they’re permanently good.
bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.
This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.
What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.
Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.
This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.
