neighbor, neighbor update + character change!
pls read this if ur on the tl or following this smau! ^^
hey guys! as you all know that neighbor, neighbor was on hold for some time, mainly because of some personal issues going on in my life. i wouldn’t say its entirely over, but i have some clearance on it now. and life is going very systematically nowadays! im enjoying my daily routines ><
so its safe to say that this smau is returning, but i cannot promise to be too active because summer break is about to end soon TT
i am done drafting episode six, which will release tomorrow!
now, coming to the main topic: if you have read through neighbor, neighbor, than you will know that i chose mark lee of nct for the role of the landlord here, which is quite important for the plot!
but the thing is, recently mark lee was seen wearing a vintage confederate flag shirt in a post. now you may ask what that is and why is it harmful? well, the confederate flag is a potent symbol of black slavery, white supremacy and racial violence. confederate soldiers often carried them during the confederate battle.
mark is due for a public apology, he didnt even acknowledge the issue. his company released a statement which was taken down shortly after and mark didnt even bother to share it in his story. this is just so disappointing to me, to me mark was one of my ultimate favourites.
i do not want to disrespect anyone by still using mark in my smau because it feels wrong. idk why he would even do that and say nothing.
so naturally, im replacing mark for jaehyun from nct.
i know its gonna be confusing for a while probably </3 i will try my best to complete this asap and then try changing the first five episodes to fit in jaehyun there.
anyways, im so so so sorry again for leaving you guys hanging TT but hey, i will see you tomorrow with a brand new chapter ♡
