Let me start by saying that everything about this Kim Soohyun issue looks like a dark comedy atp. I still have reservations about it, but since then, I realized how things can easily get distorted and people believe it in the blink of an eye. I don’t wanna make several posts about this issue, so I’m pouring all my thoughts here before I combust, and I don't need anyone to agree or argue with me. You do you, I do me. Let's live our own lives. At first, everyone blamed GM/KSH for the debt issue that drove KSR to the edge and even accused them of extorting from her. Now it’s clear that the debt was written off over a year ago, and they were flagged during the audit of the undocumented loss bc they can’t show any proof that she’s not able to pay back the said debt. They rightfully followed due process, or else their company execs would also be at risk if they didn’t, and she was made aware of this. Now everyone is coming at anyone in this “he dated a minor” narrative. Atm only KSH was able to provide details on where and when these photos were taken. Grooming? If the family can’t even provide the correct relationship timeline based on the photos they released, can they even provide factual evidence for this? It can happen through constant online and offline communication. If online, it should be easy to trace. Offline, they should also be able to provide factual evidence of KSH being with her on several occasions. But “he waited for her to become an adult” like should he have pursued her when she was a minor? We’re going in circles here. Don’t even get me started with the nitpicking of what they wore in these photos bc it gets funnier everytime. Then you have the "he shouldn't have liked her in the first place bc she's a minor" like before you comment on this, go out, look around you, and you'll see how common it is for someone to like a person many think they shouldn't like. If the family can’t even provide proof of this when they’re the ones accusing him, then it can be taken as a consensual relationship between adults. If this were true, as parents, would you even allow your minor daughter date a grown man? Your child is a minor and under your care, so why didn’t you say something before? Even though the age of consent was 13, if it were true he dated her since she was 15, it would have been more convenient to reveal this when it was happening like "hey guys here's a picture of a grown a** man dating my minor daughter against her will" and that would've solved the problem. It wasn't the 80s and more people were on the internet at that time. Then everyone shifted to the issue that GM denied the relationship several times and suddenly admitted. Read, like really read and comprehend, the denial statements again. They denied the “current rumors” last year when the IG story was posted. They recently denied that he dated her as a minor. There was no denial they had a relationship in the past. What is there to talk about? They’re called exes for a reason. Just 2(?) days ago the said family allegedly told that Youtuber not to release anything because they're afraid KSH might do something drastic. And now they want him to apologize bc “he promised she would marry her” like bruh, just stop. If he said that during their relationship, and if you haven't been in an actual rs yet, you’d be surprised how many people say this promise to someone they thought they would marry. Then they want him to apologize bc he cut off any contact with her, so are we supposed to still talk to our ex regularly? And now they want GM to acknowledge that she was a founding member. She was hired as an employee (artist) after the company was founded. What do they want next, company shares? That channel was created for political reasons, now sensationalizing a story that's too personal to share. And, of course, how could I forget the donations they receive every time they go live because they're going to reveal another photo? Need I say more? Last January KSR posted a photo of her with a man and immediately deleted bc of the hate she got online. There's also this alleged "last painting" she did and if true, it's disturbing. She was obviously mentally struggling bc of the noise around her when she tried to bounce back. She needed help. Do we expect an ex to take care of that too? Everyone just failed her and is still failing her. Instead of honoring her quietly, her family is now ILLEGALLY distributing intimate photos of their daughter's past relationship in the guise of cleaning her name and claiming her honor while ruining the honor of another person. This is hypocrisy at its core. If they really wanted to, they should've done this in a better way to let their daughter finally rest in peace. This is Soohyun's and Saeron's story of the past. Not their family's. Not ours. Now that one of them is gone, we will never know the full story, no matter what opinion we have about it. I've been a fan of KSH since his Dream High days, and ever since I always remind myself that it's just about his works. The same with any other artist that I like. They're in the entertainment industry, and they entertain us with their talent and artistry. We don't own them. Anything they do in their personal lives is their business. If they're proven in the right venue to be doing something wrong, then they will be judged and punished accordingly. If you're not comfortable supporting him anymore, walk away quietly. Block him, block all the people who still support him. But calling him names online, commenting on his posts wishing for his demise, and posting bullying words against him is no better than the person you just called names. Don't get me with your morals if all you do is judge and spread hate anywhere. Do we want another tragedy to make us realize where it went wrong? When will we ever learn?
