LoL, ot7s are Whiney but theyre not really doing much, all theyre doing is not buying tickets, not listening to music or watching content, whys that such a issue Xd. Them coming in your asks and bothering you, i get that, but how can someone just accept such a crucial member gone after six years, dont hold such expectations from someone. Lets assume even if causing a boycott wouldnt change The decision but so what? let people be upset on their own, why would you say leave the fandom. Tomorrow, if jungwon leaves and someone says concert wasnt hitting as hard as before, you will have a problem with that? I will say that about any member that leaves, Appreciating the members effort put and complimenting it is one thing and expressing heeseung's noticeable absence is another. And heeseung isn't even my Bias yet I will say i miss him in the concert, six years of the flawsless performances he's provided is not something you get over with watching only 6 of them on the stage now. this is only a natural reaction. When sunghoon was gone, i missed him too on the stage it felt so incomplete. ofcourse the first concert as six didnt hit as hard as the one with all seven wouldve, where theyre LITERALLY performing songs all seven of them made but now as six. Everybody will say heeseungs stage feels incomplete too without his six members too one day. I Would be happy my fandom is still supportive to all members like this, but i dont know why you would react like this. Heeseung will get his own stage soon, people will move on but let people fight for seven if they want to and let them be upset. I still cry to this day, watching concert clips and missing his voice singing the songs that the arena will never hear again. I liked them as seven and people can move on on theyre own. everybody is reacting with such surprise to the ot7 tag like its something foreign and enhypen wasnt literally a seven members group since forever.
see this is what's not clocking to people. nothing against anyone who is minding their own business and boycotting at their own will. but it's an issue if they're not just disengaging, but actively sabotaging, fear mongering and spreading misinformation in fandom spaces!! spaces where there are young impressionable fans, might i add, that spins these misinformation out of proportion.
there's absolutely nothing wrong with being upset, and holding onto the sense of comfort you felt when they were 7. but you can be upset and NOT want to deliberately sabotage and undermine their performances. you're speaking like i got over it *snap* just like that? i'm upset too? when the news was fresh, i also found it hard to believe. the group i spent close to seven years with is no longer how i wish them to be? the only difference is i'm not projecting it onto others, anonymously at that, and expressing that their performance was less than what they put up before, in fandom spaces where the members can clearly see them? like if you feel their performance is lacking, then just don't fucking say anything? 😂 we can maturely process that in our own heads!
at first glance, you can sense Heeseung's absence and wish he was there, and that's completely valid! but at the same time, why are we looking away from the present that's standing on stage and working their asses off to build their group up again? same for Heeseung, why are "fans" projecting onto him and hating him for simply choosing his own dreams? because these people aren't real fans at all.
i'm telling specifically those people who have malicious intents, intentional or not, to leave the fandom, because there's obviously no point continuing to pretend like you care, putting yourself on some pedestal just because you think you're doing the group and Heeseung a favour by clinging onto a reality that no longer exists, when your actions are causing more harm to the group than your supposed intentions? like diagnosing members with illnesses, taking their words and actions out of context. everyone's so focused on how many people are on stage that we're overlooking the overall improvement in production quality, how coherent the VCRs this tour are, the stage designs etc. like? can't even praise Sunoo for his vocals without people being pressed and comparing him to Heeseung. like bro? can't we just fucking enjoy and celebrate something for once? Enhypen THEMSELVES worked on the tour, and people are saying it hits different and they can't listen to their songs anymore? then can we really call these people engenes?
you can miss him, but don't let your wants and your emotions hold them back. mourn all you want, i'm simply (hardly) choosing to suck it up and move-on so I can give 100% of my support to Enhypen and subsequently Heeseung when he comes back. Heeseung was literally my bias wrecker, my first fanfiction on this damn blog was Heeseung's like 😭 it could have been any other member and I would've reacted and processed it the same way. and it’s easier to accept that if people stopped assuming that they’re forced to do literally everything. he made a decision which i'm sure he pondered over a billion of times. so, not accepting it is just plain disrespectful to his autonomy and his work. crazy how people will listen to tarot cards, random twitter accounts and other groups before they listen to the men they claim to stan. stop infiltrating their spaces with agendas that no longer serve a purpose in this fandom. this is their present reality, so it's either you walk alongside them or stop trying to push them off-course. all in all, you can be sad, you can take time to yourself. if you find yourself too deep into your emotions, it’s always smarter to take a step back from fandom spaces than let your destructive behaviours affect the members and those who have maturely accepted it. and when you’re ready, then come back and be that support pillar for Enhypen and Heeseung again. It’s really not a debate here.
