if they want a solo career, good for them. if they don't want a solo career, good for them too. those are THEIR choices, THEIR lives.
my issue has always been with how the situation was handled, bc it’s clear they always envisioned solo work happening alongside group activities
stop equating grief with hate. missing hs's voice and hearing his lines sung by others is undeniably heavy, but that heartache should NEVER be mistaken for a lack of respect for the rest of the members. it is entirely possible to love the members on stage while still feeling the weight of the one who isn't there.
missing him doesn't mean the others are 'less than.' BUT, there is a clear line. if his memory is being used as a weapon to tear down the members still standing on that stage, fueling bitterness toward the ones holding everything together—then they've forgotten what it means to be an engene. that is destroying the very group hs loved.
and please don't label every fan who reminisces about hs as an 'anti.' not everyone who misses him is against the group, most of us are just trying to navigate the weight of his absence without losing our love for the others.
it frustrates me so bad that a lot of ppl are inconsiderate of the fact that several feelings can coexist. yes, i am deeply hurt anticipating hearing songs without my sweet hee’s voice but that doesn’t mean i’m not also proud of our boys who are working so hard for this tour
