monsta x minhyuk mentioned sehun in his recent live!
👩🏻 why did you choose 'history' (as the first k-pop song you learned the choreo for)?
🐶 why i chose 'history'? i don’t know! i don’t remember… and personally, i think sehun-nim was really cool in that (dance practice) video… yes, (he was wearing) a short padded jacket. sehun sunbaenim looked cool in that video…
Exactly this. Suho’s reflection wasn’t about a lack of leadership; it’s just the deeply human weight of a leader looking back and carrying that “what if.” Every group’s journey and circumstances are completely different, and some situations were far beyond anyone’s control.
SEVENTEEN staying together as 13 is an incredible thing, but that never diminishes what Suho went through or what he did to protect EXO. Both leaders carried impossible weights in very different ways.
breaking my hiatus to just say that other fandoms give junmyeon more love, understanding and breathing space than his own fxking "group fans". given the bs you've dealt with, YOU SURVIVED AND THRIVED.
SUHO, YOU ARE LOVED and YOU ARE ENOUGH!
i can’t really call myself an L since i’ve only listened to a few of their songs. but even though i wasn’t a part of their fandom, i witnessed everything that happened to EXO throughout the years, and one thing i can say with certainty is that he endured EVERYTHING. they endured EVERYTHING.
can you imagine experiencing all those hardships while also having a company that constantly failed to treat you the way you deserved? and yet, despite everything, he still kept everyone together. he continued to show up, protect the group, and carry the responsibility of being their leader, even when he was probably struggling too.
that’s why i immediately remembered what mingyu said during salon drip, that leaders aren’t chosen simply because they’re the oldest, but because they’re the ones who are trusted to look after the group. and that is exactly what he did. he looked after them, stood by them, and continued holding EXO together through everything.
and despite all the pain, disappointments, and hardships, he still chose EXO. he chose to stay. he chose his members and the group they built together. and look at them now, still thriving.
i don’t think i’ll ever be able to express how grateful i am that he held on. thank you for not giving up, for continuing to love EXO. i’m so grateful that EXO still exists, and that you’re still there with them ❤️🩹
