It is highly unprofessional and disrespectful for a social media manager to publicly undermine one of the performers at @LollapaloozaDe 2024.
@MagentaTV@MagentaMusik owe both SEVENTEEN and their fans, Carats, a formal apology. The comment made was not only unnecessary but entirely inappropriate for an official platform.

🍊 i don’t want to see people/us hurting each other any longer.
while seeing how the many events up till now have been playing out, i’ve just been easing my heart while thinking everything will pass like i always have, and just continued working hard with the members.
but seeing how these situations are hurting my people, my fans, my members, my peers who are active [in the industry], i feel like i can no longer stay silent and sit back hoping that things die down.
it might seem nosy to some and rash to others, but i’m going to take courage.
as i’ve chosen the job of an idol/celebrity and [being someone] who receives a lot of love, there are things that i need to endure. however, i don’t believe this is a job where one needs to get hurt and gnaw at oneself trying to endure it until you die.
i simply was doing my best, taking responsibility and trying to repay the fans who love me, wanting to give whatever good energy i can in many ways. because of this, it’s true that i felt this pressure and burden in my body, heart, and even my blood that i can’t express in words.
even still, at this moment, i felt like we have to overcome this. some people look at this realistically, others positively, some live enduring and getting used to the difficulties, because of the reason that this is what they must bear because it’s [the career] they selected. however, this reason feels so harsh and cold today.
just like how some days are sunny and some days are gloomy- today feels quite gloomy.
wasn’t there a time where i could be positive and overcome this?
wasn’t there a time where i could try to smile no matter what?
but today, that isn’t easy. it’s a shame that there’s people could be hurt by this right at this moment.
i’m also sad that i can’t embrace everyone.
i wonder if my hasty words could resonate with someone, or even comfort someone.
my members, along with the few peers and friends i know who work so hard, purely and sincerely love this job in this huge industry called kpop.
we are so sincere that we get hurt
and sometimes we love it so much it feels empty/futile.
but we live each day working hard exchanging love for the sake of ourselves, our members, our family, and our fans.
i want to say this confidently
we are not people whose work has been easy and gentle to the point of receiving judgement and rumors so easily by you. we are people who have been hurt and defeated but tenaciously did what we could to overcome things to show our best selves to our fans.
i hope you don’t think of idols as pushovers.

[AVVISO] Per favore non fate circolare video non autorizzati dei BTS. Se proprio dovete farlo, fatelo PRIVATAMENTE!
Rovinare il loro impegno facendo girare media simili non è giusto, come non è giusto rovinare l’emozione e la sorpresa dei fan che non vogliono spoiler prima-
