I think it's a combination of both. He's had a lot of people coming to his defense, saying he's a nice person and being harmed by his experience in the military service. I've talked about this before, but a friend of mine was harmed by joining the military. America and Sk have a lot of issues with abusive superiors, crimes of sex and beatings, and a hostile work environment. There's a kdrama about this that got a lot of attention.
Only a few admit to using medication for depression, but many idols suffer in silence and or it's covered up by their companies. If it came out, someone would ask why young people are experiencing so much stress and that would open a can of worms. Fans have to believe their group is happy, rich and love being idols. Anything else breaks the system.
Knowing how many medications he's on, I keep thinking about that blind. The idol was passed around to executives and in return he got to debut and then go solo. He has to take multiple pills to sleep, and wakes up at night to take more medicine. It's really bad and I worry about him.
