I appreciate the concern and the detailed reply. I don't think anyone here is obsessed, most people seem busy and dedicating 5-10 min to post a couple of replies definitely does not place you in the same position as the stans/ sasaengs. We are vigilant, like the forum title says and a vigilant person pays attention to the details instead of waiting for one massive cataclysmic event.
Personally I stay on this forum because thanks to the other members I have noticed things that I would not have seen by myself had it not been for their posting.
Interestingly, the occult can be used to make someone commit suicide and even if we accept that J0nghyun committed suicide that does not rule out the possibility that he was a sacrifice. But I agree with the members who believe that he was murdered,
@btach had some strong arguments about minor vs major depression and I looked it up and she is absolutely right.
I used to be Taemin's fan when I looked at kpop superficially, until I started noticing the blasphemous elements in their videos, things in the interviews that didn't add up and my own preoccupation with specific songs that I would end up listening on repeat, something that had never happened with other talented artists. So now I avoid kpop as much as I can.
Did I check out Atlantis? Sure. Did I listen to the songs more than a couple of times? No. Did I waste my money to buy merch? Nope. Did I watch any of the interviews that are in fact just promo and fakeness? Not at all.
So I don't know if someone would think I am obsessed, but I definitely don't see myself this way. It was less than 2% of my time in the last 2 months.
