Omg it's hard to watch him break down crying. Jjong was on Four Things, crying his heart out about his fans and bullying. He was a very sensitive person. Taem1n told a story about him crying over a sad song. Jonghy9n wore his heart on his shoulder.
Company stans don't care and defend her, even asking her to protect the girls from predators and harm. Yes really.
Some are probably a little close but they're not like brothers. Taem1n hinted at that during his Advice promotion. Minh0 visited him because he had to be in the building that day. Tae said they could share the same mic, like real brothers. His face was sarcastic but fans ignored it.
I thought exo did too, but it's fake. A few are close but it's the same fanservice and fake ships. The Korean members were bullying the Chinese members and that's part of why they left.
Kai was also bullied by his band mates for his skin color o something, from what i heard
I feel like the only group I feel are genuinely close is 7teen
oh that's an opinion for sure.
they threw w00j1n out the moment he got into controversy
tbh, i think the 8 koreans are still somewhat close, they just don't make it public. ex0 lost a huge chunk of their korean fanbase when ch3n married and became a dad.. apparently the members unanimously wanted him to stay. i don't understand why they would do that if they didnt care tbh
even if people in music groups were friends i think the pressure of fame would really strain that friendship.. this is not just a kpop thing, people used to think 1d were great friends back in the day... now look at them dissing each other in interviews
Don't know ,not familiar with them...
I know im not the only one to have noticed a shift in the energy of their relationships, particularly in the last year. Pretty sure something weird happened, especially considering b@ng ch@n invasive behavior. He wasnt like that before. Im sure there are genuine bonds within the group but the group's energy as a whole became tense
This group in general, with the increase of the fame ,their group dynamic start to change ,Bts and BlackPink are some example..
Ncity have more stage presence than Ex0.
I once saw a docu about Duran Duran,a famous band from the 80's and so,And they said that at certain point they have to divide each others ,because they realize that they can't stand each others but they reunite after many years
Both group have stage presence
I agree with you on this one. It is hard to explain what depression is like to someone who has not personally experienced it. Moreover, mental health issues are not taken seriously in Korea. I also think J0nghyun himself had lost the will to live by 2017. The VCR @btach posted earlier shows him being defeated in a boxing match. The opponent he was fighting was his depression. He showed that he no longer had the strength to fight his depression. His song lonely talks about how he no longer finds joy in things he once loved to do. Being an idol, it was part of his job to show himself happy and smiling all the time in front of the fans but in reality, he was suffering. Let's not forget that all the conversations about Korean celebrities and mental health started AFTER his death which means before his death it was probably much more difficult to get access to proper help in SK.
Talking about Sm groups,Gg seems that they have a good bond,or at least some of them ,some members were devasted when Jessica Jung left, Twice are not sisterly at all ,some members can't stand each others like Jihyo and Nayeon for example
I think this whole "M1nho is Sh1nee's biggest supporter" thing is planned by 5m. He didn't post anything for K3y or T@emin's birthday this year and fans were confused why when he is always the first one to post on birthdays. Also, there is this weird thing about M1nho frequently making bubble posts on 5:25 pm which makes Sh@wols go insane saying how he loves the group so much but now that I do not stan them anymore it just feels like another form of emotional manipulation.....
I have strange feelings about this I think his breakdown was pre-planned and his members also knew about it. The way they have been creating hype since January about a Sh!nee comeback 2023. Also, did you not find it strange how UMJ just randomly decided to stream Sh!nee's Japanese concerts from Jan 7 to Jan 13 and then on 14 they broke the news about his mental health. It's like they were building up for it so they could hit fans with maximum emotional impact. Of course I am not saying he faked it he probably was actually feeling stressed out because of the hiatus....it's more like they knew he was struggling and they decided to use it to get richer like they always do with J0nghyun. I also think they deliberately played the VCR with jj0ng on B1stro because they wanted to create an emotional moment. Looking back at it now his pre-enlistment era was full of emotional marketing like K3y making a whole fuss about it on ILA, everyone in 5M sending him goodbye messages, the incident at B1stro it all feels suspicious. Again I am not blaming him or invalidating his struggles I just don't trust SM anymore. That company released Poet|Artist less than a month after Jj0ng's death and even made the members perform all pre-scheduled concerts for 2018. Then Sh1nee promoted continuously for 4 back to back releases the same year. SM used Jj0ng's death to earn as much money as they could during 2018 and I am sure LSM would be willing to do it again with Sh1nee.
