it pains me that he felt like he couldnโt open up to anyone close to him, not even his own members, because he didnโt want to worry them. so he poured his fears and frustrations out to someone heโd dated for 2 weeks, only for it to be exposed and picked apart by strangers
I'm gonna miss you Gunil, you deserve better. Thank you so much for everything you did for Xdinary Heroes and also to Villains๐ฉตโจ Take care of yourself
I love you so much Gunil, wherever you go, I just want you to be happy and healthy. I hope you live a happy and long life, and Iโm sorry the way the industry made your ending.
Iโll never forget the life Xdinary heroes gave me the chance to live, Iโll always be grateful.
he didnโt leave us with just a company statement, instead he chose to explain everything himself. he admitted what he did, apologized, took accountability, and gave us the context even when it meant exposing deeply personal things. at least he didnโt leave us wondering forever.
gunil, wherever your path takes you next, for me, you'll always be the best drummer and leader that xdinary heroes has ever had. thank you for everything, thank you for all the memories. OT6 forever. ๐
if only the company urgently taken proper action and gave the boys the protection they needed from those sasaeng fans and malicious haters, things wouldn't end up like this... ๐ it hurts so much i'm not ready for this
they broke into his fucking house, put a tracker on his car and followed him around, made up vile stories about him, and sent him vile messages, but when he vents frustration about that, heโs the one in the wrong and gets kicked from his group. make it make sense
translation of gunil's message regarding his departure on bbl:
he admitted the comments in the leaked recording were his and apologized for saying them, but clarified that they were directed at sasaengs who had harassed them and invaded their dorms recently, not villains as a whole. he also explained that he was mentally struggling at the time and had vented to someone he trusted (ex-gf), never expecting the conversation to be recorded and leaked

"my fear is that.. i wish villains could stay by xdiz' side forever. but because we've gotten so used to everything, im scared that some of you might leave, and it's awful. i really want to protect you all"
What breaks my heart the most is thinking about the remaining 5 members. As fans, all we can do is hope the band continues and keeps creating music. But for them, itโs much more than that. A dream they built together has been shattered. The person they admired, trusted, and saw as both an older brother and a fellow musician is no longer there. I canโt imagine how confused, heartbroken, and uncertain they must feel about what comes next.
i hate speculating, but part of me feels like he did this because he thought he was dragging the other members down. knowing how selfless he is and how much he wants the best for the band, the thought that he mightโve felt like leaving was the best thing he could do for them just kills me inside.
