"Youth" Behind-the-scenes🐰
i had to speak about this because this is genuinely eating me alive. so fucking disappointing and upsetting.
i swear, some of y’all are the most disrespectful, entitled people i’ve ever seen. what the actual fuck is wrong with you? the kids are finally on the south american leg of their world tour, their first time in brazil, and instead of giving them the love and respect they deserve, some of you are out here acting like complete clowns.
stalking their hotel? crowding outside and filming them while they’re on the goddamn balcony? are you kidding me? they can’t even step out to breathe without a fucking camera shoved in their face. that’s not admiration, that’s obsession. and not the good kind.
and then they go to the beach, probably thinking they could relax and enjoy a moment of peace.. but no. y’all are out there too, filming them like they’re fucking zoo animals. make it make sense !!!!! what part of the word 'privacy' is so hard to understand? these are real people. human beings. the level of audacity is insane. do you even realize how suffocating that must feel? they’re literally on the other side of the world from home, wanting to meet their fans, their supporters from around the world, excited but probably exhausted, and this is how you treat them? so fucking disappointing.
but no, it doesn’t stop there, because of course it doesn’t! let’s talk about the absolute vile shit that happened after the chile concert. some of you had the nerve, no, the fucking gall.. to bash chan. over what? ghosting bubble for a week? after his group was mobbed at the airport? after one of his teammates nearly fell because of fans trying to stick to them? really?
a line of enlightenment, he’s not your personal entertainment service. he’s a human with a life, responsibilities, and feelings. he needed a damn break. he deserved it. maybe he was tired. maybe he just wanted to exist without the constant pressure of pleasing millions of people. but no, that’s too much for some of you to comprehend.
and then, when he finally comes back, the first thing he does is check in on his home country. because, in case you missed it, oh wait, you didn’t, you just didn’t care— sk was dealing with wildfires. literal, destructive wildfires. but y’all wanted him to just pretend that didn’t exist? the man asked if the weather was okay in his home country, and you psychos lost your shit.
calling him slurs? cursing him out? saying he only cares about k-stays? because he dared to check on his country? some of you even said you’re selling your concert tickets like that’s some sort of punishment. quite frankly, do it, i dare you. better and sensible stays are out there who actually deserve to attend their concert. go sell your tickets. stray kids don’t need “fans” like you there.
and what makes it worse? chan probably saw all of that. every disgusting comment. y’all made him feel like shit. you really sat behind your screens and tore down the most caring, selfless man who has done everything for his team pretty much his family, those around him, his company, and the fandom. after all the sleepless nights, the constant work, the emotional labor, this is what he gets? and then he comes back to bubble. those messages. are you fucking serious? that broke me. that genuinely broke me.
chan doesn’t deserve this. none of the guys do. i’m so goddamn tired of this toxic shit. y’all claim to love them, but the second they don’t cater to your every whim, you turn on them like a pack of wolves. being a stay isn’t about getting constant attention. it’s not about thinking you own them. it’s about supporting them, respecting them, and appreciating everything they do. if you can’t do that, leave. nobody fucking wants you here.
and before anyone says, 'but i didn’t do any of that!' — good! then this isn’t about you. but if you ever catch yourself excusing this behavior, staying silent while your so-called stay-friends act like actual bitches, or brushing it off as 'just criticism,' then yeah, you’re part of the problem. and i’m done sugarcoating that shit.
protect skz. respect skz. and for the love of everything, leave chris alone. i’m fucking done.
adding onto this because i couldn’t fit it in tags:
can we also appreciate how coolheaded skz was in all this? like, the only signs we saw of frustration were chan’s slight glare and removing his bubble pfp/bio. if that had been me, i’d have had a panic attack or started screaming at people or both. i’m sure they’re somewhat used to it at this point, but still. no one should ever have to deal with being literally mobbed while trying to just exist in a public space. airports suck anyway – just let them get from point a to point b in peace.
i actually cannot IMAGINE the level of pure audacity you’d have to have to pull something like this. imagine you see stray kids at an airport and your next thought is “i should get really close and take pictures and scream”. like, can we have one single ounce of common sense, please? respect? decency? critical thinking? anyone??
as someone who doesn’t live in SK and will probably never meet skz outside of a concert, i cannot believe people are getting that chance and are doing this with it. what the fuck, y’all. stop.
i’m ranting because when chris is pissed off it upsets me SO much.
i cannot explain in words how much it pisses me off that fans swarm them at airports CONSTANTLY. like EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME. that’s genuinely fucking ridiculous.
i classify fans and stays who do that as sasaengs because what to you mean they need like 10 body guards to walk them from the gate to their car?
and the fact that chris got pissed off to the point where his bubble bio and profile picture is gone. what is actually wrong with you. this is NOT how you treat your idols and this is NOT how you treat HUMAN BEINGS. i swear i am so embarrassed to be a STAY because you guys do not EVER know how to act.
chris and the guys do so much for us, and it’s so upsetting to see you guys treat them so poorly. they don’t exist for your selfish asses to think you have access to them whenever you feel like it; they are people who need personal space and respect.
get yourselves together. this is genuinely so fucking shameful.
