Do you know why she asked them to continue? They could use a hiatus to rest without diets, military, fans and pressure. This is the first break Tae's had since the 6th grade. Lu6as was doing promos after a year with NCT for S4perm, NCT U, and Wavy. Fans think their groups work hard, but this is overworking. Pressure from fans and the media makes the situation harder and some idols break.
No one takes the r*pe and harassment of boys serious. If society won't prosecute the perpetrators of violence against children and women, the most vulnerable members of society, it's not going to help men. Boys are thrown into the world without support. We blame the lack of meaningful friendships and support between men on toxic masculinity, but I've seen women ridicule boys for being close to a male friend, asking for help, or crying.
A lot of men wait years after being hurt by people in positions of power. Reading about what people go through, and my own experiences, victims blame themselves. A same sex perpetrator would be worse because if they are LGBT, they wonder if it made them like that. With an opposite sex predator, people will say boys wanted it, and many won't receive the help they need to move past the pain.
That country sound like hell for anyone that's not powerful. Essem takes sweet and innocent children like Taem1n, Jjong, S4lli, Baek and Ka1, and let's bad things happen to them. What did you hear about harassment? If someone is willing to pull a boy's shirt down on tv, talk about wanting to kiss him as he sleeps, flirts while making him sit next to them even though he's nervous, and says that a picture of him dressed as a girl at 15 attracts them, they will do worse behind the scenes. Younger people defer to older people around the world, but it's extreme in SK. If someone older tells you to do something, you do it. No wonder he stays with his manager and bodyguard.
