His appearance on Superstar K was funny I guess but if you think about it, it was pretty damaging to his pride. Moonbok was like 14/15, with a dream to be a rapper and even if he wasn’t the best, the way the judges handled it was so harsh. Instead of giving the kid some pointers or constructive criticism, they just laughed at him in his face and repetitively ask him “what language is that?” and when he went over the lyrics again, they laughed as said shit like “lmao its even funnier cause he’s actually speaking words” like can you imagine being that young and having grown adults laugh at you in your face? On national TV too? And then it was turned into a whole joke and Moonbok was made into a laughing stock to the point that he was alienated and bullied by people around him. He even said that he felt lonely and isolated. He came on the show to prove himself, that he’s not just a big joke, but even do he said he’s doing this because he has nothing left to loose. That’s pretty sad man, to think that people made him feel like he’s lost everything and has nothing left.
And even now people are picking at him and just being so mean by calling him ugly, untalented, saying he shouldn’t be there, how he’s the worst on the whole show. People even went as far as to tell him to go die, to his face. TO HIS FACE. How can you be so cruel? Moonbok has no scandals, no rumors, nothing. People are contributing his popularity to him being friends with a BTS member but honestly, even BTS fans are picking on him and it’s not like Taehyung gave him a shout out post or told people to go vote for him. The last and only time Taehyung ever posted about Moonbok was a year ago. Moonbok’s rapping skills now compared to the past is SO much better. I’m sure he can get a lot better if people give him the chance to, instead of bashing him constantly. The main goal of the show is to debut in the top 11 but even so, they are there for training and to get better. Moonbok is no exception.
Even on the show, the other trainees like him and always talk about how nice he is, how bubbly his personality is and how cheerful he is. Did you see how reaction when he was ranked #2? He literally jumped for joy. Even when everyone in F was struggling to learn the dance for Naya Na, Moonbok was jumping around and brightening the mood. When everyone was gloomy about getting grey shirts, Moonbok was ecstatic. The other trainees really admire him for that. I don’t know why people give him so much shit tbh. If he’s untalented then why not let him use this opportunity to get better? If he’s ugly then, if he was pretty, wouldn’t you say he’s only in the top 11 or his looks? Moonbok is really such a nice person, and it’s really sad to see people constantly bashing him.
