Hello everyone, it’s been a long time but I have to say something about Choi Youngjae, so here it goes,
Well, today as I was watching videos of Youngjae on youtube, I came across this video about ‘Youngjae isn’t innocent’ and the picture of the video ‘Bad boy Youngjae’. This video was a response to a tweet and I know this video was made for a fun but I can’t help it because as a Youngjae fan I think that this video can actually create a misunderstanding about Youngjae especially to those people who don’t really know Choi Youngjae. First of all, I can’t say that I know the real Choi Youngjae but I just want to make things clearer about all those claims that said Youngjae isn’t innocent and he’s a bad boy. Second of all, I’m not saying that Youngjae is 100% innocent but I don’t think by saying Youngjae did all these showed that he isn’t innocent. The issue here is not really about Youngjae being innocent or not innocent but to clarify Youngjae. Even if Youngjae is not innocent, who are we to judge him and remember Choi Youngjae is a normal human being just like us and he has the full right of himself and that doesn’t mean Youngjae is fake by showing these cutesy or adorable or innocent act in public. That just the way he is.
So, according to the tweet and video here are the things that made Youngjae is not innocent:
1. Tattoos
I bet most of us know now about Youngjae’s tattoos. If you don’t then now you know. So, the tweet said Youngjae isn’t innocent because he has tattoos. I know some people with tattoos sometimes act badly but there are people who have tattoos but still act good. Tattoo is a unique form of expression because tattoo represents different things to different people. There’s a meaning or story behind every tattoo. So, I guess it’s the same with Youngjae too. As we know recently, Youngjae’s tattoo is his favorite quote ‘Ars Longa Vita Brevis’ and that quote must be meaningful to Youngjae because he chose ‘ARS’ as his composer name, as his SoundCloud & twitter username. Many times we’ve seen Youngjae put the quote on his clothes for performances so we can say that the quote has a deep meaning for Youngjae that he decided to have it tattooed on his arms. I know that tattoo has bad connotations but not to all people. As I said, tattoo has different meaning to different people and I’m sure it’s like that too with Youngjae. Plus, I didn’t see any difference in Youngjae after he has the tattoo. You may ask why he didn’t want to reveal to the public though we pretty much know about it, well I think it’s because he has the tattoos not to be shown off but rather a personal decision. So, again, I would like everyone to respect his decision for not revealing in public purposely.
2. Best drinker in GOT7
Well according to Yugyeom that among the GOT7 members Youngjae is the best drinker. Alright, so what about it? If someone is the best drinker that someone is not innocent? Wow, I’m amazed at the logic. kekeke Even innocent people who are at legal age drink alcohol so that doesn’t make Youngjae is not innocent or a bad boy. Also, are we going to start saying that all people in the world who happen to be the best drinker or have a high tolerance for alcohol are not innocent or bad? Maybe but here’s the thing, innocent can mean a lot of things and if you are referring to Youngjae being no longer innocent in a sense of ‘consuming alcohol’ I guess he is but so far, there’s no evidence saying that Youngjae behaves badly when he consumed alcohol. Any members of GOT7 can enjoy a sip of alcohol while having gathering and there’s no problem with it. In fact, I read that different bodies’ process alcohol differently and may appear to have a high tolerance but that can be very dangerous. So, we should concern about Youngjae’s instead.
3. First one to move out of the dorm
Wow, is it wrong for Youngjae to move out of the dorm to stay with his real brother? And that shows he’s not innocent just because he was the first member to move out of the dorm? Maybe not everyone read about Youngjae’s interview but he did mention in Bazaar Magazine interview where he said compared to the foreign members in GOT7 (BamBam, Mark & Jackson) he couldn’t go back home to Mokpo often. Most of the times, his parents came to visit him in Seoul so I personally think it is a wise decision of Youngjae to live with his brother. He said, the first three months he stayed with his brother, his mom stayed with them. During his birthday last year, all his family came to Seoul to celebrate his birthday and that made him very happy. So, by saying Youngjae was the first one to move out of the dorm just because he wanted to live with his brother and that made him not innocent? I’m speechless. He just wanted to be closer to his family. Even that, he couldn’t do?
4. Supreme supremacist
I don’t like the word supremacist because we know the meaning of supremacist has a negative connotation. So, to say Youngjae is Supreme Supremacist is like accusing him of negative attitude or belief. To me, Youngjae simply loves the brand and the brand captured his taste well as we know Youngjae is someone who is very simple when it comes to fashion. Plus, Supreme is kinda the famous brand for the youth now so is normal if he likes the brand. Yes, we saw Youngjae has lots of things with Supreme in his house even but to dub someone as ‘supremacist’ is just not good. He’s a fan of the brand just like we are the fan of GOT7. So, it isn’t wrong for him to have the brand all around him because he loved it but that doesn’t mean he has the belief.
5. Grapefruit technique (?)
Wow, I’m really surprised that the person knew about it because I don’t even know. What I know is the grapefruit which is the fruit. Hahahah…. I might be innocent then because I didn’t know about this. Well, I’m not so sure how that someone could conclude that Youngjae called CoCo using that technique. So often, we saw Youngjae called CoCo using different ways and I just think that was just the way he called her as we know Youngjae loved CoCo so much. He said he knew that dog can’t live longer like human so that’s why he wanted to spend time with CoCo as much as he can. He also said in an interview whenever he came home from work, CoCo makes him feel better and even when he’s away he would call ask about CoCo and saw a video of CoCo and that made him feel better. So, I don’t think is nice to relate his love for CoCo in a sexual way.
So, most importantly what I want to say here is actually what we say could lead to a misunderstanding. This is because I had enough of people hating on Youngjae. I had enough of Youngjae getting the hate from debut until now. You may see Youngjae is smiling, laughing out loud, and being happy most of the time but we never know what underneath all those. I’m not implying that Youngjae isn’t happy but he is someone who’s not showing so much especially whatever he has gone through and do you remember when he said in Masked Singer, that he cried just because of one hate comment about him and his vocal? Also, he did say in a magazine interview that he wanted to be beautiful by being thin so he had to control his eating. Why did he say that? Because in the debut days, many people said he was ugly and that’s why you see him very happy when fans compliment on his looks. There were many things that Youngjae being criticized for, his English, his acting, his only talent is vocal and also others. Choi Youngjae is just a 22-year-old boy who is working so hard for his dream so we should support him and if you don’t like anything that Youngjae did, you can advise him politely and if you don’t agree with his decision then just keep silent until you see that action could harm him. As I said earlier, I’m not saying Youngjae is 100% innocent but those things that mentioned are not 100% showing that he is not innocent or becoming a bad boy. I know that tweet & the video were made for fun but those could lead to misunderstanding of who is Choi Youngjae. I’m not blaming anyone nor want to trigger someone I just want to clarify things that mentioned in the tweet & in the video. If you’ve been following my tumblr, then you know this isn’t my first time writing this kinda post to protect Youngae. So, I’m sorry if I offended anyone but when it comes to Choi Youngjae, I’m just very sensitive because as a fan I want to do the best for him and to protect him. Thank you for reading this and if you are not agreeing with whatever I wrote, it’s okay. We are entitled to our opinion.
Spread love not hate
Thank you,
