His vlogs were bad too. He only had his cats and a cook to keep him company. Fans were obviously concerned, and he recently said that he's doing better. I don't believe it. Essem doesn't prioritize their artist's health.
I see a lot of Taem1n's influence too. They seemed close during Sup3rm era, but I don't believe anything idols say or do. That's their job to pretend to be gay, friends with the members, love the fans and act like helpless and adorable sex machines. It's to get the maximum amount of money from the fandom. They don't care about our mental health and the stress they cause with fake drama.
The video below has the moment he told on Loocas. At 4:15 is where it starts.
They did punish them. Each member is responsible for what happens, but the leader has the most responsibility. Essem was very invested in Loocas and he brought shame to his image, the members, company and the CEO. Whatever happened to Loocas, is probably so bad we won't ever know what happened. LSM wanted to get in the Chinese market. He finally was living his dream and Loocas messed it up.
