might be a hot take, but yall are WEIIIRRDDDD if u support the black ocean thing that’s trying to happen in melbourne. i understand we need to “fight” for heeseung, believe me i do. but the last thing we need is to upset/discourage the OTHER active enha members. you all need to realize this is just as hard for them, if not worse. they lost their eldest hyung just days before they were set to perform in a new place. they are now being pressured into doing heeseung’s parts. doing the black ocean wouldn’t help at all. you can still fight, you SHOULD, but dont let it affect enhypen negatively.
hello everyone. this is vanya. i know i haven't been active and honestly i don't intend to be active in the future, but i would find it so wrong and so irresponsible of me to sit back while ICE raids in southern california continue on-- destroying families, creating chaos, enacting violence, and of all, igniting the abhorrent flames of racism and nativism.
i am an asian-american living in southern california, and i know much of my audience comprises of asian-americans. therefore, i am making this post to not only do my civic duty, but to encourage all of my fellow asian-americans especially to speak up.
ICE, or the US immigration and customs enforcement, is a federal law enforcement agency, that has been raiding and illegally detaining people all across america, but especially in southern california. many of these victims include mexican-americans and mexican immigrants, and ICE has been cruelly sending these people-- human beings-- to detention centers.
from my own asian-american community, i've seen the most ignorant, racist responses; i've seen my own family members say, "why can't they enter the 'right' way?" well, there's a very simply answer, and it is that the us immigration system is deeply flawed and creates its own barriers to naturalization. and let's not act as if most of the asians in america aren't immigrants too? asian-americans are either immigrants or the children of immigrants. we've walked the same path, had the same struggles, faced the same discrimination, and yet in a time of need, we do absolutely nothing? i have seen asian-americans stay silent about the downright unconstitutional actions of the trump administration. there are families being torn apart and the livelihoods of very real people being slaughtered down in the name of liberty.
and to that, this is what i have to say to my fellow asian-americans:
we would not be here without the work of black and hispanic people. when asian-americans were facing hate-crimes in 2021, one of our community's biggest supporters was, in fact, the black and latino community. heck, even historically, the push for asian-american rights in the rights revolution of the 1950s-1970s was inspired by the works of black and latin american. why do we, as a community, take and take and take from other communities, but remain silent when they need us?
one of the greatest ethnic enclaves and asian cultural phenomenons, socal, purely exists because of the blood of our latinx brothers and sisters. let us not forget that the california territory (which very much comprised of modern-day socal) was only added to this country because of american imperialism. los angeles, san diego, santa monica, santa barbara-- all of these major parts of california are spanish names and were missions that enslaved indigenous americans and mexicans. yet somehow, the asian-american community in socal is too focused on our kpop photocards, seaside donuts, and matcha lattes? despite asian-americans crying about colonialism constantly, we continue to live on and profit off a land that is not ours, advocate for a racist system, and stay silent in the face of injustice.
asian-americans, it is your downright obligation to speak up about this disgusting attack on civil liberties.
you cannot be "illegal" on land that is stolen.
you cannot wail about the colonization of your country, but continue to support a government that perpetuates those that colonialist ideals.
you cannot profit off and benefit from the suffering of latinx-americans, and then choose to stay silent when their rights are being taken away.
asian-americans, i hope you understand that you are not white. your proximity to whiteness of but a mirage. it always has been. the asian-american community has always been scapegoated and separated from the rest of other racial groups and named as this "model minority." i hope it's understood that a racist government will go to great lengths to keep racism in our system for as long as possible, and if they must exploit the asian-american community, they will.
asian-americans, i hope you understand that our community is next. we are just as vulnerable, even if you don't think so. put a stop to the bleeding now.

I will use my art to express myself to the world; without you, I will never have the ability to move on.
We need your support more than ever, the daily costs of living, and the expensive treatments, I hope that through your support I can reach safety with my family.
i honestly dont think i’ll be stanning riize anymore.
with everything happening i dont think i could still listen to their ot6 music without thinking of seunghan.
i hope seunghan and the boys will continue to live healthy and happy lives
and to all the ot6 knetz (especially the ones who sent the funeral wreaths) i hope you will forever live with fact that you just ruined an innocent man’s career just because he kissed his fucking girlfriend and smoked.
Y'all, I am so upset right now. Do Knetz and Ot6 not realize that Seunghan returning was the best move for RIIZE and SM? Don't they want the best for the group? I didn't see any funeral wreaths for a literal sexual predator in the company but for a boy who dated someone and smoked that's where they draw the line? Everyone was so excited for Seunghan return. I can't imagine what he's going through right now and I hope he gets the support and help he deserves. I hope the boys in RIIZE are okay because they literally vouched and helped get Seunghan back to the group. Also, I'm confused because if they were having a comback in November, that means Seunghan already recorded and practiced everything. This is insane. RIIZE is 7
Javion Magee was murdered in Henderson, NC on September 11th and the Vance County Sheriff's department is covering it up, and denying his family access to even viewing his remains.
