I want to address this.

I posted yesterday about Moonbin’s passing, and included Jonghyun, Sulli and Hara in my post because the point I was trying to make is how the Kpop industry is dark and how the things people say online and off can have devastating effects for people, especially idols.

When a tragedy like this happens, it’s normal to reflect on other times we’ve bore witness to something like this happening, and have feelings resurface. I have lost so many loved ones - both idols and relatives - over the last 6 years. It has fundamentally changed me. Things eventually get easier, but you never truly move on from losing someone you care about, whether you know them personally or not.

Most people understood this, but I received a comment from someone who was upset that I mentioned the other idols in a post about Moonbin. They called me disrespectful and accused me of reducing them all to their death - that was not my intention. These are people I had been a fan of since 2011, who had brought me so much joy at times when I myself had thoughts about sealing my fate in the same way they did. What happened to Moonbin brought it all back.

I completely understand the commenter wanting me to honour Moonbin, but by including the other idols, I was not implying his passing is any less meaningful -- I was exemplifying that too many beautiful people have been taken from us in the worst way, but that I find the slightest bit of comfort in knowing they can now rest together.

I’ve been a K-fan for over a decade and have felt time and time again the compounding effects of losing idols I love and admire. I’m allowed to process, grieve and honour them in whatever way I choose.

The Kpop industry is so much darker than people realize. You never know what someone is going through, so treat everyone with kindness online and off.

RIP Moonbin - now you can rest as another star in the sky.

Did I like 2 Baddies? No. Am I going to watch every performance and Stockholm Syndrome myself into liking it? Yes LOL

Has getting K-pop albums become WAY harder for anyone else during the pandemic? It’s like a scavenger hunt now lmao.

I’ve been feeling down lately so I needed something like this lol.

I take requests! Feel free to send other groups’ requests to my multi-stan blog @stray6ix​ (follow me there too pls lol)!

Okay but imagine being best friends with Johnny. Supporting each other, sending each other memes, hugs after you hang out, getting to hang out at the dorm or backstage at concerts, talking about relationships/family/friends, constantly making fun of each other... I’d date that man in a heartbeat but something about being platonic and never having to worry about it getting complicated just seems so nice to me. He just seems like he’d be such a comfortable person to have around.
