Okay,  so  this  is  literally  a  rant  so  if  you  don't  want  to   read  then  it's  totally  fine. 

It's  just  that  I   can't  take  it  anymore.  Since  'WIN',  'MIX  &  MATCH'  and  now  that  they've  debuted,  these  amazing  boys  and  this  incredible  group  has  been  getting  a  lot  of   hate  which  they  clearly  don't  deserve. 

People  mistake  their  confidence  for  cockiness,  talent  for  showoff ,  hardworking  for  company's  title  and  realness  for  fakeness .  They've  been  training  for  almost  5  years  now  under  such  a  company  where  you  don't  even  know  if  you're  going  to  debut  or  not.   Monthly   assessments,   reality  programs  etc  are  all  burdened  on  your  shoulders  since  the  trainee  days  and  yet  people  don't  respect their   talent  and  bash  on  them. 

They  are  one  of  the  greatest  groups  I've  come  to  encounter   and  without  any  doubt,   they  are  going  to  be  one  of  the  greatest  group  and  artists  in  the  years  to  come.   People  should  learn  to  respect  their  hardships,  talent  and  feelings.   They  are  human  after  all.  They  spend   20  hrs  in  practice   room,   composing,   choreographing,   dancing,   singing  and  yet  people  call  them  untalented   and  what  not.   They  are  some  young  people  pursuing   their  dreams  for  godsake. 

And  as  for  Hanbin,   before  you  haters  hate  on  him,  just  take  into  account   that  this  19  yr  old  kid  is  somewhere  at  the  top  because  of  his  hardwork  and  dedication  when  you  ers  are  behind  the  computer  screen,   hating  on  him.   So,   what's  good  now  haters? 

He  was  the  first  to join  ikon   and  he's  the  leader  so  of course  he  has  to  be  strong  headed  and  tough.  At  the  age  of  13  when  other  kids  were  busy  enjoying  their  childhood   days,  here  he  was  covering  songs  and  striving  for  his  dream.  So,   he  has  the  full  right  to  be  confident  because  he's  got  it.  

Cocky  and  rude  you  say ?  Then  you  just  know  the  B. I.  Who's  so  worried  about  his  members  who  sacrificed  their  youth,   freedom,   studies  to  follow  their  dreams  and  he's  the  one  leading  them,  so  of  course   he  needs  to  be  cocky  and  rude  to  survive  this  tough  competition  and  cruel  industry.  But  if  you  know  the  Kim  Hanbin,   he's  just  a  normal  dorky  kid  who  loves   his  members   like  his  blood  shared  brothers  and  would  do  anything  for  them.  Can  you   even  imagine,   how  hard  it  might  have   been   for  him  to  not  spill  tears  when  they  had  it  so  rough?  He's  not  cocky,  he's  just  strong  and  confident.   But  internally,   he's  a  kid  who  needs love  and  support  from  us.  He's  someone  who  doesn't  even  know  how  to  play  foot  soccer,  he's  scared  of  bugs,  crazy  for  chocolate  and  just  like  any  other  guy,  crazy  for  girls.  He's  just  a  guy  who  loves  his  family  but  can't  even  go  home  because  of  his  career.  He's  just  someone  who  loves  and  adores  his  baby  sister  who  is  15 yrs  younger  than  him.   Just  imagine  how  difficult   it  must  be  for  him  to  not  visit  his  baby  sister? He's  the  leader  so  he  will  undoubtedly  act  like  one  so  don't  judge  him  when  you  don't   even  have  a  slightest  idea  about  him  or  his hardships. 

Just  because  you've  heard  or  seen  something   which  isn't  even  5  min  long,  please  don't  hate  on  him  or  his  group.   If  you  don't  like  them,  then  just  walk  away  but  they  don't  deserve   this  hate  when  all  they've  done  is  follow  their  dreams.
