anyways was gonna write this on twitter, but it would probably be way too long so here we are! this is literally because i keep seeing people call win toxic and while yes, he was wrong for saying that to gun and adding on, but i do think he has his reasons for it and it wasnât meant for gun.
so for starters, we already knew win was hot headed. weâve seen that in the past 10 episodes that have aired beforehand, and even winny had said that about win in the open house, open heart. winny also said that win loves his friends so much and he also always says what he thinks straightforwardly, which weâve seen multiple times. the thing is winny also says, âitâs hard because he has to be tough all the time. heâs always strong and refuses to show everyone else his weaknesses.â the fight scene was a perfect example of winâs personality being showcased.
but before we get into the fight scene, roll back to episode 11, part 2. this is where we see when win breaks down to sound. now the thing is, gun is their leader, yes, but why is no one else considering that some of the others might be scared to play again after losing. i get that hot wave was mostly gunâs number one priority, but the band members all worked just as hard. and this is absolutely nothing against gun btw!! so when gun leaves after being unable to play, and win walks out right after, sound is the only one to follow win. since the band members have been friends for a fairly long time, most of them probably are used to winâs random outbursts and donât question them anymore. but sound is the one to truly know win, so when win walks out saying âiâm outâ of course, sound is going to get to the bottom of this.
now the whole scene with sound and win starts my justification of winâs words during the whole fight scene with gun. remembering that win refuses to show his weaknesses, this is one of the first times we ever see win at his lowest points. he tells sound how he thinks heâs the reasoning the band lost and that no one gets him. win has so much concealed up inside of him because he chooses to have a tough look on the outside rather than everyone knows whatâs going on. winâs breakdown showcases that he doesnât blame anyone else. he blames himself entirely for them losing.
now for the fight scene, everything that occurred beforehand was probably some of the leading factors towards it. the dehydration of them walking, the exhaustion, the hot sun, everything going wrong. it was bound to happen. now again, iâm not saying that what win said to gun and the other members was right, he was definitely in the wrong, but in no way does it make him toxic in the slightly. do remember that they have all (minus like tinn & sound) have been friends for years upon years. friendships are bound to have fights.
winâs comment towards gun in my opinion was more towards himself. once again, win chooses to show no weaknesses. so what does he do instead? he takes it out on others. while it isnât right for him to do, thatâs just how his personality is. heâs already hot headed, and with all the factors, it most likely got to him. he already blamed himself, so he blamed gun. he took it out on gun because he had to get his anger out somehow. sometimes people take out their anger on someone else, cause itâs the only way they know how. they donât want to show how itâs their fault so they blame someone else.
anyways the fight scene was heartbreaking to watch, however shoutout to winny & fourth for their part. i know that must have been hard for them as actors and must have been a lot. gun and win friendship forever! glad they are ok now :). sorry this was long, had to do justice for win.
