I hope that solo stans will respect their decision and realize that it's perfectly okay to not have the desire to open your own music label or run a business on top of all the responsibilities you already have as an artist.
i think a lot of k-pop fans oversimplify this conversation. leaving SM or any company isnโt automatically the better move just because they has a terrible reputation.
yes, SM has plenty of flaws. but theyโre also one of the biggest companies in the industry with resources, infrastructure, connections, production teams, marketing, touring power, and global distribution that very few companies can match.
more artistic freedom is definitely a huge advantage of leaving, but that freedom often comes with tradeoffs. youโre also giving up a system thatโs been built over decades. weโve seen idols thrive after leaving, and weโve also seen others struggle with visibility, promotions, or maintaining the same momentum.
itโs kind of like working at one of the big corporate firms. the management might be awful, but the resources, network, and opportunities are hard to replicate elsewhere. leaving can absolutely be the right decision for some people, but itโs not automatically the better one.
itโs honestly not that different from working in a big corporate company. how many of us complain about our bosses every single day and joke about resigning? but weโre still there because of the salary, the opportunities, the colleagues weโve grown close to, the environment weโve become familiar with, and the career weโve built. hating your management doesnโt automatically mean leaving is the best decision.
itโs the same with idols. we hear them complain about the company sometimes, but we donโt know everything thatโs keeping them there. maybe itโs the people they work with every day, the team behind them, the stability, the resources, or simply because they believe itโs still the best place for this stage of their career.
fans only see a tiny fraction of what goes on behind the scenes. the members are the ones living that reality every day. if they choose to stay or renew, itโs probably because theyโve weighed every pro and con far more carefully than we ever could. the least we can do is respect that decision.
something that always comes out of these group contents is how lovely and selfless haechan is. The members constantly praising him for his hard work, sacrifices, and kind heart. always saying he's never hurtful and how he cares for others first. Totally impossible to not love him

taeyong bilang era visual terbaik haechan itu pas seoul jazz festival!!
๐น buatku, era sjf haechan itu bener-bener jadi standar baru. yang bikin aku terpikat sama haechan waktu sjf adalah karena selain penampilannya di atas panggung yang luar biasa, wajahnya juga masih imut dan lucu ๐ฅน
tapi di saat yang sama, aku bisa ngeliat sisi haechan yang udah jauh lebih dewasa, dan menurutku itu bener-bener seksi. rasanya juga kayak haechan udah mulai ninggalin image maknae sedikit demi sedikit~
