Don't know why, but suddenly discussions about Gunil's "departure" from the group have completely taken over my tl (again). Most of them are from non-Villains and tend to say that he is a very irresponsible leader, that he should learn to be respectful, that he never took this seriously by leaving this way, and many other things.
Honestly, I am tired of this. Even though I will continue to stand my ground that he was not in the right for using the word he used, I think the reason Gunil is still being misunderstood by other fans as "the leader who made a slip of the tongue and irresponsibly left the group" is just because of JYP. They literally put out an official statement full of lies, and he had to use his last chance and last resort to communicate with us via Bubble to clarify everything, apologize, and even refute the company's claims.
What makes me even more mad is that they're getting away with it, while Gunil's reputation remains tarnished and the group is being treated even more unfairly than before. Like, they have had practically all of their international schedules canceled when they were reaching the peak of their career, and they're not even in JYP's future plans... like what are they even doing?
