I’ve been feeling quite at a crossroads or conflicted ever since the news of Heeseung leaving ENHYPEN to pursue his solo career, and then everything spiraling out of control, I’ve stopped consuming any h*be or Beshit content from any group.
(I know they’re not the only shitty companies out there, but they’re the ones being brought to light.)
It’s awful to see and hear that people in these large money hungry companies believe it’s acceptable to treat their idols, who are HUMAN BEINGS, in such a manner simply because they pay them. This is a sad reality, and it’s disheartening to witness how companies, regardless of their size, exploit their idols in various ways on a daily basis just because of money.
As much as I love kpop and have been for so very long, i’ve always noticed the shifts and differences as the gens changed, and to me its been so drastic.
I’ve been feeling quite conflicted as whenever I’ve been on X, XHS, Instagram, YouTube, and even here on Tumblr.
I’ve definitely been distracting myself with everything that doesn’t have to do or involve kpop news, music, culture, and so on. I’m not sure if it’s just me, like I have even resorted to playlist mixes/dj sets on YouTube so I dont stream as much LOL
If you have any opinions or comments, please let me know. I’m interested to hear what you think!
ALSO I’m not against Heeseung having a solo career, and I don’t hate any of the members. Sometimes, they don’t have control over what they’re doing.
