i love people who get curious instead of insecure around someone smarter than them. imagine having access to a mind that knows something you don’t and choosing to be threatened by it.
I need to get this off my chest because honestly this has always been annoying me.
I have seen people bring up the petition and say “well I never signed it” when I can tell some of you HAVE NOT EVEN READ IT (yes I have already once wrote a long twt on this in the past).
The original petition was NOT about boycotting btw. I know, because I literally read the entire thing beforehand specifically to make sure it had nothing to do with boycotting. It was asking for answers. Once things started turning into boycotting, THAT was where it became unacceptable to me.
I've said before that I'm extremely grateful I never boycotted and I still feel that way. I never crossed that line and I'm glad I didn't and I never will.
However, I really hate this weird purity contest we're doing now where people feel like they need to prove they reacted perfectly to everything from day one.
ENGENEs were stunned.. we had questions.. we wanted answers. People needed time to process wtf was even happening. That's ALL NORMAL.
Some people also have to sit down and have a much harder conversation with themselves of “who am I going to support now?” or “where do I go from here?” For some of us, that answer is easy. For others, it's not and still isn't. Some people want to support both and are still trying to figure out what that even looks like to this day. Sometimes they're going to do things that look questionable to other people when in reality they're literally just trying to figure it out for themselves.
You cannot control how other people process information or major changes. Some people STILL haven't processed everything or don't want to face reality yet. That's human nature.
What bothers me more is people trying to erase how they felt at the time so they can paint themselves as a “good person” now. Even doing things like creating a brand new account to debut as another account.
Erasing your past does not make you a better person.
Deleting tweets, covering your tracks, or pretending you never questioned anything doesn't magically mean you handled everything better than everyone else. Unless you were actually hurting people..
Why are you ashamed that you had questions?
Why are you ashamed that you were confused?
Why are you ashamed that you needed time?
You know what actually shows growth? Being able to say yeah, I felt that way at the time. I know more now. I understand my feelings better. I processed it. I changed my mind or I feel more confident in the decision I made.
That's literally what growing up is.
Trying to erase every version of yourself that wasn't perfectly correct or reacted naturally just feels performative to me. You don't have to pretend you were always right to prove you're a good person.
the most interesting part of akgae parasocialism is that a lot of them eventually start resenting the idol they run fanpages for. their posts about how the idol "needs to grow a backbone and learn what's good for them" are always soo aggressive
We gotta learn to be resilient, focused and levelheaded like the people we stan. So much to learn from each other and inspire e.o. That is my favourite part about stanning Enhypen because I could absorb these qualities by watching their actions. Let the fandom grow with the team.
Remember when ENHYPEN only had 5-digital points? 😭 Now we’re looking at 4,612 ❤️🔥
What a journey. We’ve witnessed the struggles but kept pushing. And now we’re finally seeing all the results 🥹
This comeback has really shown us just how far we can go when we refuse to give up‼️
i have something to share......
became an engen during dark blood era, orange blood was my first cb, enhypen introduced me to kpop, i was never part of any kpop groups before. They are my first ever kpop i have ever stanned. R:U was my firt cb where i joined voting teams and +
I love how engene theses comeback is creating fun ideas to push streaming and voting 🥹🤍 I hope we will always do that I love the vibes in enville rn it’s fun 😭🫂
Even after we win the mama 2025, even after enhypen participated for cochella, i never once thought of coming back here, bcs i was genuinely done with being here. It was too much for jy mental healty, but after seeing the energy, after seeing how our fandoms is moving now,
