BECAUSE HE WAS PROVEN INNOCENT WITH SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE AND PROOF THAT HIS NEW LABEL HAD TO MAKE. AND ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO CANCELLED HIM OR SAID ANYTHING DISGUSTING TO HIM SHOULD APOLOGIZE AND ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG.
I have now had a lot of time getting to know Stray Kids as a group now and I think I'm ready to have and share my opinion on the topic most stays don't bring up and that is Woojin.
Disclaimer: I have every right to my opinion on this subject. If anyone is going to comment with hate because he is the subject of this post, your comments will be ignored and deleted. You are subject to your own opinions as well, but hate will not be tolerated. If you have no interest to read further, scroll on. I will put a read more option.
By the time I found Stray Kids, Woojin was several months absent from the group, so I honestly had no idea he existed until I got into watching their older MVs. I obviously became curious and looked up who he was, but didn't dive much deeper. But when I started noticing compilations where his face was blurred or blocked out, I did the research.
As someone who had no opinions before researching, I was able to take in everything without any real bias despite all of the rather harsh comments I had seen mingled around the stray kids tag on here.
Honestly, the amount of hate sent to him was (and still is) insane. A lot of people forget the "innocent until proven guilty" phrase and condemn anyone who does anything remotely wrong legally even the evidence doesn't quite add up. Frankly, celebrity/idol allegations always leave me skeptical over the validity because people like to see others fail. I know. It's disgusting. So I'm always cautious until more evidence is released. I never try to invalidate victims, but I want the evidence before I take a side, you know? Anyway, based on the evidence I found (of course I didn't go through the period of never being sure of the validity), Woojin wasn't guilty. Isn't guilty. One account was found to be lying with a stolen photo from a photographer and the other suddenly disappeared. That to me is suspicious. I get talking about assaults is scary and uncomfortable, but I would want my name out there as a victim because I would know my story is true. I would hide only out of guilt for lying. Now that's me, but hiding being anonymous accounts is generally how trolls work, so... I'm cautious around stuff like that. I just, after all the research I did, couldn't see Woojin as guilty. The evidence against him wasn't substantial enough (and I've heard multiple stories that it was a couple of people getting revenge because they were mad about him leaving SKZ).
As for him leaving Stray Kids, I'm still pondering that one. I've gotten a range of reasons why he left from other stays. With it happening the way it did and there being no real response to it by JYP or SKZ (that I have found), it allows people to create their own ideas. The people making videos of "proof" of him bullying the other guys bother me because it almost feels like those video-makers haven't spent time with a bunch of guys. Sure, some of his actions come off a bit more aggressive, but I've not seen anything that makes me concerned, I guess. I'm just surprised because Lee Know is a bit aggressive with them sometimes and no one seems to care at all. I think it's just something people conjured up because people want answers. If there isn't an answer, we make one. Now, I haven't watched a ton of evidence about the way Woojin treated the other members, but what I have seen doesn't give me the impression he bullied them. Again, I see current members tease and "bully" each other quite similarly... a lot like a bunch of guys who are friends and spend a lot of time together. 🤷🏻♀️
I honestly don't have much more to say about Woojin other than the comments on his looks are extremely rude. He's cute. His features aren't as soft as you'd expect, but they don't make him unattractive at all. When I first found Stray Kids, I didn't think Lee Know, Changbin, or I.N were cute at all. That's changed because of their personalities coming through making them adorable and cute, but just because I didn't find them cute didn't mean they weren't. The same goes for Woojin.
Also, I really think he was the strongest vocalist in SKZ. He held notes well in live performances and his voice is well-rounded. Seungmin and I.N are great vocalists for SKZ, I love their voices, and both are strong in their talent, but Woojin was by far the best vocalist. I am glad though that with him leaving, Seungmin has really stepped into the role of lead vocalist because he has so much talent. 💜
This all I really have on Woojin. I don't actively seek out news on him because I really don't have an attachment to him at all. I just know he was in SKZ and isn't now. But I don't agree with the hate given to him at all. It's inappropriate and wrong. No one deserves that kind of attack from anyone.
Thanks for letting me put out my two cents on this. I know not many will agree or care what I have to say about Woojin, but I really wanted to speak up about him. Again, if you are going to respond with hate, you will be ignored and your comment deleted.
There were WAY to many great songs released this month to condense this list to ten so i decided to make it a top twenty for this month.
1: DUMB DUMB by SOMI.
Girl boss energy with this one. What a way for us to start this month. The chorus is EVERYTHING.
2. After Midnight by ASTRO.
Beautiful positive vibes, we are only meant to have a good time here.
3: CRUSH by ZISU.
ZISU voice is soooooo BEAUTIFUL. This was my first time hearing her work and just ah perfect. 👌🏻❤️
4: Holiday Party by Weeekly.
To the person who recommended I check out Weeekly. Thank you. Holiday party is a great summer time song. Check it out guys.
5: You Can’t Sit With Us by SUNMI.
This music video is a MUST SEE guys. I watched and was just laughing and being confused like “what is going on here”. It’s perfection.
6: Ready Now by KIM WOOJIN.
Oh boy do I love the message in this song so much. Relate to it a little too much but it’s great. I new I was in for a good song when I saw his name on it.
7: Shut Up Crazy Hot by ONEUS.
This is a hardcore head banger. Not what I was expecting with how songs are sounding right now but I love it.
8: Paint Me Naked by TEN.
The song feels like I should only listen to it in private but the music gives me good time vibes. Either way it fantastic.
9: MANIAC by NCT U.
In the book I’m currently reading and there is this couple where the female is known for being tough and mean and the male just loves every second when she goes off on someone. Every time I read this happen between them in the book my brain plays this song. “She’s a maniac and I love her just like that.” Dame.
10: Summer Or Summer by Hyolyn and DASOM.
Yet another great summer song. These girl are just perfect together and Hyolyn looked just soooo BEAUTIFUL in this music video especially in that jumpsuit look. I want one.
I just love how stays are calling woojin the sound monster. if you guys are familiar with what this sound monster is, its the antagonist in skz’s new concept. this sound monster is who the boys are trying to fight against.
So, they the thunderous ones are gonna come and beat the sound monster in the music showcase. this i think is the music industry and skz is coming to dominate.
great for them but i dont know why stays took it upon themselves to involve woojin. Thats quite hypocritical as they constantly preach saying not to involve the two. Stays need to use that energy to focus on the quite interesting mv and concept of skz instead of trying to create havoc between the fandoms and basically disregarding skz efforts.
So, Ready Now promotions are over and i was too busy being a twitter stan but im so happy than our baby woojin can rest. i’ll update more often even though school’s around the corner.
society fucked up by letting dvds go out of style because streaming is not ownership, titles leave streaming services to end up on another (or leave streaming entirely) all the time and stuff gets edited out a lot too. physical media is so important i wish buying dvds and physically owning something could be “trendy” again because corporations have ruined streaming forever with their greed
Dear Cubs/ moots, we have a fellow cub who needs our help. they have openly expressed their hate in my pinned comment and recent post. its kinda sad that Cubs go through things like that. my heart is out there with you.
