Updates as of November 2, 2019 - 10:52 AM (US Mountain Time):
The silent protest in SK is currently occurring as I write this.
A whale was bought/adopted for Minhyuk’s birthday. The whale’s name is Monbebe.
The fundraiser for the Times Square ad has reached over $22k USD. The goal was $10k USD.
Elhae has reached out to Changkyun and We Bare Bears creator, Daniel Chong, tweeted his support of Wonho.
Staff is still showing their support for MX and Wonho.
300 fans were allowed into the Inkigayo recording which is unusual considering the 200 capacity norm.
Monbebes attending the recording will be using the OT7 chant during the performance.
All sorts of fundraisers are being held including: Raising money for SK ads, a Filipino MOA Globe ad, German ads, YouTube ads, etc.
I believe it’s Paris Monbebes who are looking for musically talented MBB’s to compose and sing a song.
At the silent protest, more notes are being collected from Monbebes.
Tower Records, an international music franchise store, has showed their support through signs at their Japanese location.
Fan artists are being asked to come together to draw the group as OT7 and post their creations to show their love and support for MX.
Video messages are also encouraged.
Fan letters, handwritten and/or electronically published, are encouraged.
Writing of the current hashtags on a piece of paper or post-it note are encouraged. Sidenote: If you’d like to participate but don’t have a Twitter, my submissions and inbox are open, so please feel free to send me any type of project you’d like to be posted and I’ll do so with crediting you.
If you participate in any handwriting events, please DO NOT USE RED INK AND STRAY AWAY FROM RED STATIONERY/PAPER. Koreans consider it taboo since red ink was used to write deceased people’s names on family registers in the past. If this is done to a living person, it’s viewed as a wish for their death, so please avoid using red ink (and paper).

SPECULATIONS from November 2’s Music Bank performance are as follows:
MX left a spot open on stage to signify Wonho’s presence (where he would stand) during their Follow and Find You performances.
Jooheon’s slip up on the lyrics could be to protest what’s occurring.
MX nearly cried during their Find You performance.
It’s possible that in future performances, Kihyun’s glare will break the 4th wall and shoot fire straight through screens - and honestly, mbb are okay with that.
——————————————————————————
Another speculation is that Starship is staying quiet for legal reasons in defense for Wonho until they’re able to speak out.
New tags are being utilized and the current ones are:
International Monbebes would like to hold their own physical silent protests. Details are being worked out.
This isn’t an update, but DO NOT INTERACT WITH HAN SEO HEE OR JUNG DA EUN ON ANY PLATFORM. Doing so will only make the situation worse for MX and those two are not worth the time. Instead, channel your emotions towards the trends and online protests.
I’ll make a new post when new info is revealed. In the meantime, please part-take in the protests and events as well as wish Minhyuk a happy birthday, please.
Also, if you see this, you’re obligated to take at least a 5 minute break and drink some water too. ❤️
