if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, fuck SM Entertainment and their sinophobic asses. not only have they fucked up multiple times with their mistreatment of EXO-M, Winwin, Renjun, and just chinese members of their groups in general, they have absolutely no respect for their chinese idols and treat them like shit.
The situation with Renjun right now is absolutely disgusting, how do you think he feels not being able to talk about Winwin, who he’s obviously close with, if you’ve watched other Dream videos or the China Line V-Live? And this ain’t the first time that manager’s been horrible to him, she took his seat in the van and left him in the rain, no umbrella, in just a t-shirt, alone, to find a new car, that’s fucked up. Also, when she told him to move out of the center? Maybe they just wanted Chenle and Jisung to sit together, but fam that’s what we have their This and That for. And oh my god, the poor boy’s reactions to all this, if you see the photos or videos he looks so obviously hurt and confused, it breaks your heart, especially when he got told not to show his vacation photos.
That same manager that told him to shut up, moved him out of the center, and left him in the rain, has been called out by fansites for being really touchy with Jeno, and that on it’s own IS NOT OKAY, so even though S.M. is unreliable as fuck, I’m just hoping someone can get through to them and this lady gets fired. YOU ARE A MANAGER. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THE BOYS. Not touch one up and be absolutely horrible to the other. Jeno is still a teenager, this qualifies as sexual harassment. This literally hurts my heart so much that he’s going through this, Jeno’s spoken out against the sexualization of him and his members by older fans before, and his manager touching him up? absolutely disgusting.
The situation with Winwin is crazy, this man debuted with NCT 127, he’s been with them since their beginning, yet SM is wiping any trace of him off 127 promotions and merch, he didn’t tour with them or be part of album promotions due to “scheduling issues”. Renjun can’t talk about him for some reason, it’s absolutely fucked up, I can’t put it into words.
We’ve seen them do this with Lay and EXO, how they’ve literally erased him from EXO and made it seem like he preferred being a soloist when he literally took a flight to Korea just to see Kyungsoo before he enlisted and then was r u n n i n g back to catch his flight.
We been knew S.M. was shit before all this though, with EXO-M, their mistreatment and falling outs with Kris and Luhan and Tao, all of whom deserved way better, and still have to give some of their earnings to this horrible company that treated them so horribly until 2022. Kris had a serious medical problem, I believe it was a heart condition, yet S.M. didn’t even bat an eye.
When there’s a serious difference in how you treat your idols just based on their nationality, that’s fucked up and whatevever sliver of respect I had for you or your company just goes down the drain.
And while this is kinda unrelated to the mistreatment of chinese idols, but kind of related to SM being shit, the NCT boys have literally said on V-Lives that they’re scared of their manager, I think it was the one Lucas, Yuta, Ten, and Winwin did together, but i’m not sure? The idols you’re taking care of should respect you, they shouldn’t be terrified of you! and i’m not sure if this story is true, but apparently Yuta and Jaehyun flinched when a manager yelled at them? So i’m just- worries about how SM treats them behind closed doors. Even if they aren’t your biases, everyone should outraged and angry and upset with SM about the shit they’re putting these boys through.
Yeah, I’m just really angry and upset and genuinely hurt because these boys are such good people and are giving their all to a company that views them only as an investment and profit, and doesn’t give two shits about them.
c. protect Huang Renjun, Winwin, and any other chinese idols S.M. got their nasty ass hands on
