This Is All I Have To Say On The Matter - Tumblr Posts

Unpopular opinion: Changkyun doesn’t need to be so hard on himself, yes, but…

1: he is not responsible for how people interpret something he says about himself. He was discussing HIS LAZINESS and HIS EATING and HIS EXCUSES and HIS INTERNAL MONOLOGUES. He was not speaking to anyone else.

2: we have to understand expectations on idols. They are constantly told to fast, skip meals, or are put on special diets despite the immense strain they put on their bodies. It’s not ok, but that’s the reality and their norm.

3: people have become entirely too sensitive to others opinions, even ones they have about themselves. INCLUDING ME. But recognizing that you have a choice on how you’re going to react to what people do and say is a BLESSING and please start exercising it.

4: I do agree that all idols, not just Changkyun, need to do some mental and emotional work in order to be ok when it comes to their health and relationship with food and fitness. But so do we all.

5: Cancel culture is so damn dramatic these days that we try to cancel everyone just because they blinked the wrong way. People are always going to have things about them you don’t like. Just don’t like them and move on. No reason to make a big scene over something like this. The only person he’s harming is himself… unfortunately. Everyone else just needs to step back, not make it about them, and realize that this view is a major issue among ALL KOREAN IDOLS, and that we need to build them up instead of letting them face it alone.

Stuff like this is how we lost folks like Jonghyun and so many others. Let’s not be the voice of hate just because we feel like a statement applies to us. It’s not healthy for us to do that either.
