Cassies in Hard Times: Thoughts
I think we can learn a lot from this situation not only as Cassies, but as human beings. Victim shaming is not a positive nor healthy way to deal with the anger, hurt, and confusion, and neither is blindly defending an idol. This is especially so when the investigation is yet to be conducted nor is there evidence to prove either side. If it did happen, how would you feel to be the person assaulted and have people call you a lier? If it did not happen, how would you feel caught up in a media witch hunt on something you did not do? Either way, we can’t have a true stance until evidence is proven where it’s due, because none of us truly know as we are not directly involved.
It’s hard for Cassies because we all “know” and have supported Yoochun as his fans. As Cassies, especially since most of us are older, we should conduct ourselves in a mature manner and set an example for ourselves and others, even in the face of controversy and upset feelings. Surely, not all those who claim to be Cassies will, but others should also not disregard the mature actions of other Cassies in handling the situation. It’s hard to do when some Cassies do not treat the situation correctly nor humanely, as others will see that and be quick to judge the whole fandom as immature and ignorant. I just hope that the investigation is conducted fairly and with justice where it is due, because at the end of the day, the accusation is a serious one.
Also, for those OT5, do not lose hope. AKTF is a phrase that has been challenged many times. While we can not always trust the media and news for accurate information, there is a risk of the one we love being guilty, and even if he’s not, this will sadly be a stain linked to him. Perhaps we can look at hope from our Shinhwa sunbaes. A member was able to reunite with his group after scandal, while not as serious, but it still happened. Keep your heads up Cassies and let’s cheer each other up during this tough time. Let’s hope for fair investigation and justice ♡ AKTF
