they could have contracted at that club and spread it to other people after. people have a right to be mad like some have lost loved ones
im pretty sure they got tested after going out based off the information i’ve been seeing, so that’s likely not the case. especially since they’re high-profile idols under major companies. i’m pretty sure their companies are all on top of their health so that they can keep working and keep promoting during this time. not to mention that they would come in contact with all their other members as well (jungkook - 6 other members, mingyu - 12 other members, jaehyun - 8 other members [considering ONLY NCT127], eunwoo - 5 other members) and that isn’t even considering staff members, stylists, managers, bodyguards etc. so if they did contract it when they were out, they would’ve known. their companies would’ve known. hell, i’m pretty sure the general public would’ve known they contracted it when they went out to the restaurant and bar, aka they weren’t at the club.
im not saying people aren’t allowed to be upset, because well yeah. but if they went out during that window of time where there were no confirmed cases and no strict guidelines being implemented, then are they really at complete fault here? like, i understand that it’s a global pandemic right now. im not dumb. theyre not dumb. as high-profile idols, they should’ve been taking extra precautions at the mere mention of the disease. im not sympathizing with them and coddling them trying to say they’re perfect and did no wrong whatsoever. but this was a week before things got serious. people were still saying it wasn’t serious. especially when there were zero confirmed cases. a week before my state went on lockdown, everyone was still living life normally. there was talk about covid, but everything was still open. i was still working in a crowded mall on the weekend before strict guidelines were implemented. people were still going out like normal JUST like they did. then confirmed cases happened and things shut down JUST like their situation. so to be mad at people for living life normally a week before the big announcements and laws came forth seems to be really dumb???? the man in itaewon that went to the club and tested positive for it was a week after they went. and again, should they have gone out? probably not. but they were still allowed to. they were allowed to live their life normally just like you and just like me before the outbreak, which is what makes this very confusing. especially when the proof dispatch (who is always reaching for a scandal, especially for bts) is providing is a grainy picture that doesn’t resemble the person they’re referencing.
do i think it’s a bit annoying that people are on their asses for going out (not even to the exact club) A WEEK before the outbreak when there were not strict guidelines/lockdowns to abide to, especially when they were all tested negative and therefore couldn’t have passed onto anybody else? a little before it’s not like they could’ve predicted this happening.
do i think they should’ve been more mindful about going out considering status and job in the conditions? yes, but tbh it’s not like i can stop them from hanging out with their friends just like anyone else.
however,
what people should be mad about in regards to this situation should be that dispatch decided to name drop high-profile idols the exact moment the creator of the nth room was shown to the public. people should be putting their focus on the fact that dispatch is trying to divert attention from this case because they know that kpop fans will lose their mind over something small over this.
