Everyone looks miserable lately. It's always been like that, but even the optimistic people look done with life. That's sad because kids and old people usually have some cheeriness to them, and even they are over it. The pandemic and lockdowns did a lot of damage, but people were beaten before then.
I feel bad for kid Tae. He didn't deserve that. What reason did they have to leave him and raise his siblings? He praises his father and his grandma raised him. He loved her too, but always brings up his father.
Have you seen fan meetings? The idols put on this fake smile and their eyes are done with everything. A part of them grows dimmer each time they do it. I wouldn't take their job for anything.
Actually if you think about it the pandemic didnt necessarily cause that much damage to peoples mental health (except death however people always die of illnesses and car accidents everyday). I know a lot of people will disagree with me but this is what I believe happened that caused so much unhappiness in people. Its because they actually had time to be with their loved ones. People got to be with their kids. Family actually talked to each other and bonded during the pandemic (however I realize for the situations of abusive families it made their lives a lot worse) However it made the people realize how much they missed out on with just being with each other. For those couple of months of lockdown people actually kind of lived a little. They werent at work all the time slaving away for the rich or the corporations or the consumers.
Everyone is just missing out on life all they do is work
After this they went back to their jobs and realized how much they hate their lives. How much they hate their jobs. They just dont want to work. So of course they would be unhappy they miss their loved ones. Usually on a full time job and being a parent you probably only see your kids for four hours a day. Thats definietly not enough time to raise them. And there missing out on the whole child hood of their kid.
That was off topic I know
However its also what bts is going through why they look dead and what not. There missing out on living. They got all this money yet all they can do with it is go online shopping.
I dont really know the reason behind taes childhood only he would know that and be willing to share his thoughts on that. However, Ive read somewhere of the possibility of his mom dying at a young age and his father remarrying. Thats why he had to go live his grandparents because his new mom didnt want to handle the stress of taking care of a child that wasnt her own. Which makes sense Taes sibilings are a lot younger than him. At the end of the day tho I think it really benefited tae because to me he seems pretty grounded in a way a strange way even though he is not mentally there half the time.
