I’ve had a bit to sit with everything so i’ll try putting my thoughts into words.
I was ot7 before the live, i am STILL OT7 after the live. I was boycotting before and I will continue boycotting now.
Because the boycott to me has never been about bringing Heeseung back- it has always been about their freedom, respect and better treatment.
I want them to have the freedom to make their own choices, the artistic freedom, i want the company to stop acting as if they can erase years of history overnight. I want transparency and accountability instead of pretending nothing happened.
If Heeseung wants to return to the group i would want him to have that choice! And if he doesn’t want to return, I would respect that too. (bc that’s the freedom i want them to have)
People telling me to “just move on“ when
loyalty, for me, doesn’t work like that.
After spending SIX YEARS- watching Enhypen become Enhypen as seven members,go through so much- I cannot suddenly wake up and pretend one member never was part of that group or those six years never existed.
It’s only been four months.. Maybe some people can move on quickly. Okay. Good for them. I can’t.
And i honestly don’t think I ever will.
That doesn’t mean I disrespect the members.
Would I ever walk up to the members and start telling them “ENHYPEN is 7” to their faces? No.
But on my own account, when I say Enhypen, I will always think of SEVEN people.
That being said i also heard Jungwon, bc contrary to popular belief im not deaf. I heard him say that Enha is currently six.
Most importantly tho, I heard him ask everyone to stop fighting. That was the biggest message many conveniently ignored..
Instead of not fighting people started harassing, send de@th wishes, insult etc.
How is that listening to Jungwon??
So nothing changes for me now because I was just talking about the boycott, the mistreatment, and my wish that all seven members are respected and have the freedom to choose their own futures.
That’s what I’ll continue doing.
People are free to disagree with me. But NOBODY gets to decide how I’m allowed to feel. So yes, when I think of Enhypen or talk about them, i will always mean seven.
The boycott also remains exactly the same for me.
I‘m not boycotting the group, i’m boycotting the company. And I’ll continue speaking about the mistreatment they face because I believe they deserve better.
I will continue supporting all seven members in every non-monetary way I can.
The only thing I hope changes is that people finally stop attacking each other and remember that behind every opinion, profile picture, profile and idol there are human beings behind them.
And please, don’t let anyone convince you that your emotions are wrong.
You’re allowed to grieve and miss them as seven.
You’re allowed to be nostalgic and hope for better.
You’re allowed to disagree respectfully.

My dear ot7, go study, laugh, watch k-drama, movies, anime whatever you like, listen to music, watch funny clips, spend time with family and friends, do some workout, read books, boycott hybe/belift, and drop tags from time to time just don't spend you whole day here on this app+
speaking as someone who used to giggle at everything enhee related, something really died in me yesterday because ever since yesterday, nothing related to them excites me anymore...
hoy jay dijo: “nosotros somos 6” pero también este era él un día después de lo de heeseung en una fancall, una engene le dijo: “estoy siempre tan orgullosa de los 7 y amo a los 7”, jay respondió: “gracias, eso es realmente importante”.
