So I Just Woke Up To The News Of Goo Hara’s Passing. She Was a South Korean Singer And Actress, Only

so i just woke up to the news of goo hara’s passing. she was a south korean singer and actress, only twenty-eight years old. this is coming right after hearing about sulli’s passing just about a month ago. in 2017, the lead singer of shinee, kim jonghyun passed away at just twenty-seven years old, followed by actor jeon tae soo’s suicide in 2018, actress jeon mi seon in 2019. this problem isn’t just found in south korea, but i’m writing after seeing the news this morning.

there have been more than 200 celebrity suicides in the 21st century. the afsp published that in 2017, 47,173 americans died by suicide. there were about 1,400,000 attempts. the people who are dying are not just “our family, friends, teachers, etc.” they’re other human beings who genuinely should have every chance at living life they deserve. there is something inherently wrong in social society that prevents people from being able to live. there are some who wish to commit suicide but cannot because they are more afraid of their children’s/family’s/friend’s lives than their own lives. this is another extremely big and undressed problem, because there are so so many people suffering from depression. 

we can’t just blame it on cyber bullying and call it a day. it’s a much more serious problem than that, because not everyone dies from being cyber bullied. not everyone is dying from being bullied. some people are dying because of economic reasons, family problems, traumatic events, you name it. we need to be helping each and everyone in some possible way, whether it be by just trying to extend a hand to those who need it, or focusing on bettering mental health care.

there needs to be something done, and me being frustrated and heartbroken after hearing about suicides won’t be enough. awareness is not just enough, but it’s an amazing step towards a goal. we need to start taking some sort of action, and fast, because suicide is the tenth most common way people die in america. (after a list of 1-9 being health-related death, like cancer, diabetes, etc that are also very important)

if you know someone needs help, be compassionate, empathetic, and an active listener. provide them with different solutions, like therapy or just being able to sit and talk with them. serious problems like these take time, and unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though people are taking the time to actively move towards a society that is more accepting, aware, and inclusive of people who are struggling within.

we need to care, and we need to start caring faster if there is meant to be a way to help those who need help. please read this

Ok, I barely dip into the Twice and Suju fandoms

But oh. My. Word.

You are all accusing Heechul of being a predator??? For dating another consenting adult???

YOU. DON'T. KNOW. THESE. IDOLS. PERSONALLY.

By calling Heechul whatever disgusting names the internet loves to use, you are questioning Momo. You all claim to love Momo and want to protect her when you automatically assume that she can't possibly be dating Heechul because, I don't know, HE'S A GOOD GUY who is famous for how respectful he is to women?! And you automatically assume a bunch of sexual stuff and not that he's dating her because he LIKES HER? You are questioning Momo's ability to think for herself and be a grown working woman making adult choices.

I have seen countless young girls go full on crazy over male idols. I've heard 14-year-old girls say sexual things about idols who are almost 30. Several of the people crying over Heechul and Momo have said these things themselves. Also apparently Heechul admired her "when she was a teenager" - you're leaving out the fact that she was 19 - AN ADULT.

And to all the people sobbing about how they're both actually gay and it's a coverup, you disgust me. You actually disgust me. These idols sexualities are none of your business. Oh, and throwing shade to someone because they're not the sexuality you wanted them to be? That's not only a million times creepier than anything you claim Heechul has done, but is hateful and contradicts everything you supposedly stand for - which is supporting people no matter their sexuality.

Momo and Heechul are both adults with their own private lives who don't owe these bratty, selfish, so-called "fans" anything. I've seen people giving Heechul DEATH THREATS. Which is in fact illegal (their relationship is not).

In short - Heechul and Momo deserve all the love and happiness in the world. You're allowed to be uncomfortable as I know many people have had bad age gap experiences but please PLEASE for once just realize that not everyone has the same experiences as you.

And to everyone accusing Heechul of horrible things and to everyone who's so concerned for Momo's safety - I sincerely hope you can get a life and stop infantilizing women as well as stop assuming the worst about a man simply because he is a man. Oh wait - this is your life. I don't hate any of you - I'm sorry for you. You must feel so bad about yourself that you feel the need to try to ruin innocent people's lives that you have no involvement in because for some reason you've decided it's bad.

Stop treating idols like they're fictional characters who must adhere to your headcanons and ships. Stop infantilizing grown adult women making their own life choices. Stop threatening men on completely baseless accusations. This is the most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time. I sincerely hope you all learn from this and stop acting like the terrifying cross between Puritans and Radfems that the internet seems to breed so prolifically.

The Sky Began To Darken And Lights Began To Glow In The Darkness. The Man's Face Held It's Fearful Look

The sky began to darken and lights began to glow in the darkness. The man's face held it's fearful look as he realized he had been caught. Caught by the most important thing to him; the thing he wanted to protect the most from the absolute worst. He knew it was over before it began. His heart trembled knowing that this moment was his number one fear.

The girl didn't know what to think. Thoughts raced through her head, as did her heart. The nightmare had only just begun. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Her entire world that she knew seemed to fall apart from the moment she caught him. Everything she thought she knew now changed as reality hit her like a bus. The man she gave her whole self too was not the man she thought him to be.

"Tom..." Her voice cowered back, afraid of what he could possibly become. Who was he really, now that she knew about his other side.

"I can explain, but you have to hear me out." He tried to speak calmly, but felt a shiver as he thought of a possible outcome, all pointing to something he didn't want to deem possible. The idea that the girl who became his universe, his everything, could leave him indefinitely.

"What is there to explain? You have lied to me this entire time about something this big!" Her voice quivered, yet showed strength at the same time.

"That I wanted to protect you. I wanted to keep you put of this world. This terrible one that I'm trapped in. I wanted to keep you put of it. I need you to be safe because I love you more than anything." He began to whisper as he began to inch closer to her.

"The only question I have is why? Why is killing your reality? Why are you trapped in something you don't want a part of?" Tears streamed down her face as overwhelming anxiety filled her core.

"I went down a path no one should ever choose. I thought I was doing good by my father. I was forced into this and if I try and leave, everything will be lost forever. They will go after the best thing in my life. I can't lose you. Not now, not ever."

The man pulled the girl into a tight embrce as if she would disappear from right in front of him.

She had a difficult time accepting the new information in front of her. Her love being affiliated with the mafia? His father being the leader and ruining his own son?

"I don't know anymore. I don't think I can do this." She said this as she pushed him away from her. This was the first time she ever felt like she was being suffocated by him and his love.

"Please don't leave me." His voice was was losing it's grip as he continued to speak in a hushed tone.

"Tom, I.."

He placed his lips upon hers in that moment. She melted into it, but soon realized what was happening.

"Tom, I can't." She turned her back on him for the very first time, walking farther and farther away from the best thing that happened to her as tears gushed from her eyes.

CHEN IS GETTING MERRIED !!

CHEN IS GETTING MERRIED !!
CHEN IS GETTING MERRIED !!

"Hello, this is Chen.

I have something to say to my fans, so I wrote this letter. I don’t know how to start, so I am very nervous. I wanted to be the first one to tell my fans who I love so much, so I am leaving this post even with my lacking sentences.

I have a girlfriend who I want to be with for the rest of my life.

I was worried and concerned with what would happen with my decision, but I wanted to let everyone know early so my members, the company, my agency, and especially my fans who are proud of me wouldn’t be surprised by the sudden news, so I talked it out with my agency and the members.

During that time a blessing came to me. I was shocked because I wasn’t able to take part in the plans that I had made with the members and the company. But, this blessing gave me the strength and courage. I thought about how and when I should reveal the news but I didn’t want to wait any longer so I am carefully revealing it to you all now.

I am grateful to my members for genuinely supporting and congratulating me and to our fans for always showering us with insurmountable love. I will always be grateful for all of you and will continue to do my best in the position I am in.

Thank you always." - Chen

This is super important!!!!

this is important !

i’m really disgusted by people continuing to hurt, disrespect and insult idols, who literally work their ass off to satisfy us and make us happy. and that includes invading their personal space, which is something that’s simply not okay to do, along with so many other things that have happened.

to start this post off;

s/o to the rats entering nct’s tour bus and going through their stuff

or the one who went to johnny’s house the day he was visiting his family for the first time in 3 years

people calling them bts, interviewers not being able to tell apart nct dream and nct 127….

however there’s a lot more than just the recent incidents with nct:

a fan once told tzuyu to “shut up” during a fan event when she was giving her final greeting. others joined in and told her to keep her mouth shut which resulted in her asking jeongyeon to do it for her.

aoa’s mina was cussed out by a ‘fan’ who told her that “a singer needs to be good at singing. use the time to care for your fucking face to practice singing.” which brought her close to tears.

during a seventeen fan meeting, a joshua stan was upset about something he had supposedly done and decided to express her anger by throwing some papers (and a pen) at him. luckily she was taken out from the meeting by security.

pristin’s kyla got rejected by fans at yet another fan meeting when she had some one-on-one time with them. instead of taking pictures of her, most of the cameras in the crowd turned away from her to shoot pics of the other members.

there was another time when monsta x held a fan meeting and minhyuk was leaning closer to jooheon to tell him something. a fan decided to stick her hand into his face to basically push him away from jooheon. (I don’t think she touched his face but the gesture alone is too much.)

during a got7 fan meeting, the fans had a chance to get partnered up with one of them for a game. youngjae picked a yugyeom fan, and she basically told him that she wanted to be partnered with yugyeom instead of him. he told her “you want yugyeom? go, it’s okay.” he kept saying that is was alright when clearly, it wasn’t.

some comments on an article about p.o’s mother passing away were about other groups. for example: “bangtan oppas will have a comeback in february please support them a lot.” ; “since this news isn’t fun, give us at least news about bangtan’s comeback.” ; “give us news about exo’s recent update. these kind of news are boring.” //// I’m getting so angry only writing about this

a lot of incidents happen during live streams - fans telling them to speak english when they’re clearly not comfortable in doing so. or asking for another member is simply disrespectful.

during one of nayeon’s livestreams, she read a few comments out loud which were downright cruel. some called her a grandma, others called her stupid when she didn’t know a word/term (I guess it was something trendy at that time). she played it off by saying “you guys are too much. onces (fandom name) are so cruel.”

.. or at the airport:

when exo-m and shinee arrived in korea, luhan was knocked down by a crowd of fans, and could’ve gotten swept away in the crowd if baekhyun hadn’t grabbed him.

another fan shoved t.o.p out of the way at the airport to get to daesung.

there’s also a lot of people calling idols ugly while hiding behind their twitter (or any other sort of social media) account.

y’all suck and I wish you nothing but bad luck for the rest of your life. may someone disrespect you the way you disrespect them and their privacy.

thank you for listening to my ted talk. feel free to add to this post.
