For Our Sulli.

it goes without saying that kpop fans around the world have a heavy heart today. if you’re unaware, Choi JinRi or more commonly known as Sulli, one of five talented members from the former group f(x) has passed away, the cause of death was self inflicted.

due to the overwhelming amount of hate she’d get from time to time or the hurtful things they’d say to her, it really played with her mental health. from what has been plastered around on media from the amount of negativity by the people of the internet this had pushed the singer to end her life. of course we can’t just believe that, but this is a serious matter that must be addressed.

history has once again repeated itself, with the same situation that happened almost 2 years ago with the late-idol singer, Kim Jonghyun of SHINEE. the amount of pressure and negativity that idols endure from debut to now or even after they leave the industry is absolutely shocking, the amount of pressure on their shoulders is hefty, but we don’t understand that type of situation.

it’s honestly a real shame that some companies don’t take care of their idols mental health, mental well-being is one of the most important things in the world. this is like i said before, a sign of history repeating itself.

to all the fandoms around the world, please understand that pain, hurt and sadness aren’t experienced by a selected amount of people. it impacts everyone, famous or not. understand that words can hurt, words are also weapons and they can kill. slowly and silently.

i’m not saying any idols will see this, but hopefully they know that it’s okay to talk about things that are on their minds, that it’s okay to not feel okay, it’s okay to feel things. you’re not a robot, you’re not modified to feel okay all the time. please seek help, please don’t be afraid to reach out. there’s no us without you, look after yourself we’ll be okay.

idols are humans. yes they have the ability to sing and dance extremely well, but they also have emotions, they have boundaries, they have insecurities, they have fears and most importantly they are HUMAN. i cannot stress that enough.

to all of Sulli’s family, friends and fans and most importantly her former members. i on behalf of many other kpop fans around the world wish nothing but love, support and strength for you all. all fandoms, please put down your weapons and put a stop to your fanwars and just empathise with one another and look after each other, support each other and be kind. understand that some of your favourite idols are still here receiving your love and support.

For Sulli,

you were talented, you were valued and you were treasured. i’m sorry you didn’t feel that way. please feel at peace now, lay your head down one last time. rest.

you did well.

i didn’t really realise that in terms of kpop and their companies they all bring something different to the music industry, i mean lemme explain rq/not really.

JYP: They produce such great dancers in my opinion, not only that but their choreography is amazing and that might be because of Park Jinyoung being such a strong advocate for stretching and dancing because you’ll probably live forever type thing ion know. but i mean groups like STRAY KIDS, their choreography is honestly fresh and different in comparison to other groups from them, TWICE imo they’re so crisp and graceful with their movements, GOT7 their movements are honestly so intricate and it’s really nice to watch mostly their live performances because you can see that their moves are so on point (except for that one time in IDOL ROOM lmfao.) even their junior groups like ITZY or BOY STORY their moves are just 👌🏼

SM: I think they produce some of the greatest vocalists, i mean Wendy’s notes always slap me in the face and i’m always grateful, why? because i was blessed to have heard her voice. the whole of EXO literally have angels stuck in their vocal chords you cannot fight me on this don’t even try, i blast their harmonising live compilation every morning to increase my lifespan by 50 years. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON SHINEE AND HOW INCREDIBLY F-ING TALENTED THEY ARE. GG/SNSD, FX, NCT (give winwin and johnny more lines u cowards) and i’ve only listed some groups with powerful vocalists, y’all ain’t seen nothin yet.

YG: honestly don’t stan the man himself but i stand the talent he’s produced except the whole seungri ordeal, that’s an opinion for another day tbh. but the rappers are obviously prominent from this label mainly bc it’s a hiphop dominant label. i don’t really know what to say about them mainly bc they don’t really help their artists out like BLACKPINK are so good but they barely invest anytime into creating an album with more than like 5 songs on it, i mean yeah some other groups might do that but we want content to t h r i v e off of. also when will TREASURE13 debut?????? i haven’t watched the series but i’ve seen snippets and i’m next level shook, give me the talent. IF IKON COULD MOVE TO PNATION THATD BE GREAT, HEARING ABOUT HANBIN BEING REMOVED FROM THE GROUP SUCKED. i’m not a very huge fan of ikon but sheesh, YG, y’all really messed with the dynamic. you suck. (give us Rosès solo too, you hecks.)

BigHit: i know they aren’t part of the big 3 obvi but i think they deserve a mention not just because of producing both BTS and TXT but also bc you can see the love that radiates from the company. ion know, BH has this way of making me feel like we can trust our faves with them, not only bc of the amount of time they’ve looked after them but the way they lookout for the boys and ensure their safety. by trademarking both fandoms so that neither names get bashed without consequences or how the managers play around with the members (like when V acted like a bear i believe, to one of his managers) it’s just endearing to watch how they aren’t just protected but they feel... secure in a way??? in terms of talent, i think they’re really all-rounders. they have one of the fastest rappers, their stage presence is on, their vocal line is full of variety but they make it work and dancing, well goodluck charlie. nah jk they really go 150% like have you seen JHOPE???

that wasn’t really quick but hey, it needed to be said 🗣🗣🗣
