the case of kaistal. kim jongin. kai. nini.

KaiStal probably already moved on from the revelation of their relationship in public, but the world  kept stalling.

Fans were torn to various sides like:

(1) People who support KaiStal all the way

(2) People who hates KaiStal to death

(3) People who loves Kai to death

(4) People who loves Krystal despite the reveal

(5) Fans who turned their backs on Kai and tore away his face on album PBs and burned albums

(6) Fans who love to talk about how such a Krystal is

(7) People who  love Kai but can't  move on from him so couldn't support  his relationship

(8) Fans who love Kai but can move on from his relationship

(9) Fans who still love Krystal but can't move on from her relationship reveal

(10) Fans who love Krystal and fully supports her relationship

(11) Fans who think Krystal doesn't deserve Kai

(12) Fans who think Kai doesn't deserve  the 'goddess' Krystal

(13) Fans who defend KaiStal for the other fanclub members even if they think otherwise of the issue

(14) Fans who shut down their fancafes, fansites because they can't love Kai and Krystal anymore

(15) Fans who just wanted fanwars, gossips, and want to add fuel to the fire

(16) Fans who got seriously hurt because KaiStal is dating but has moved on (somehow)

(17) Fans who are still hurt, but already used to the dating 'scandals', and are just staying out of it

There are probably more kinds of Kai and Krystal fans right now, but seriously, this is everyone. People have so much to say because they take different sides and read different stories about the couple. They say different things about these issues because that is what they want to believe.

"Kai was seen in a hotel with Krystal." "They did it for sure." "He was seen smoking somewhere."

Netizens always have a say about them. But who really knows the truth? Only Kai and Krystal know themselves better than anyone else. No matter what we hear and read they are just mere accounts or hearsays from secondary sources. Like the hotel staff from the 'hotel' they checked in. Or the person who saw them eating at this restaurant. Or the person who 'photographed' them at the swimming pool. Or the people who snapped their photos while removing their coats and giving to the other in consideration to 'her'. 

Pann says, Allkpop says, Koreaboo says. They are all but bull sources. Pann has all the controversies lined up and netz who love gossips comment there like their lives depend on it. Make or break. Allkpop doesn't translate everything and often cut news/has false reports. Koreaboo is one big misleading portal. They translate korean news, grab the best worst comments then put the iest photos and titles to grab attention. And all of their news, to be honest, are attention grabbing.

I can't say the same for netizenbuzz since they just translate the news. and there's a disclaimer in the site saying how they gather the top worst comments almost all the time. So if every comment was positive for a certain idol then isn't that good news?

The only portals i think i could trust (not really) is soompi (since they have sources) and they are mostly neutral and more decent than allkpop and (really-really) mwave since isn't that the most leggit site? And most of their news are friendly and positive. there's also this kpop site I'm writing for, and they're leggit not for the controversies. We just state what has been confirmed (even though there are times we talk abt the other stuff to ourselves lol). Most portals doesn't really mind whether a story is false or not. All they care about is net traffic and popularity. So pick your sources wisely.

Rumors will eventually rise while KaiStal is still a hot topic. And they can be either true or false. We don't know. I have read a lot and was tired of it. Seriously, the pool photo was blurred...and the photo of Kai allegedly 'smoking' wasn't that clear either. What I saw was Kai wearing something he would wear for performances and a lollipop in his mouth lol. I don't know but that's that to me.

All I'm just saying is that people shouldn't assume just because of a mere photo that isn't even clear or accounts typed by a.k.a anonymous on a forum etc etc. And that people should know that Kai and Krystal are just people like us too. They work, they have fun, they date, they eat, they sleep, they get bored, they act silly, they use the toilet like us. They aren't faultless. They are just as imperfect. they crave things. they dislike things. Not all that we see on stage or in front of the camera or read in magazines and interviews are all we should know about them. That is just one side to them. There may be some truth to the image they show us (because who doesn't show a little of his true heart to his craft? No one. Because if you don't put some of your heart to what you do then it would end up being burdensome) but most of the truth about each of them are concealed by them. You don't get to see the whole picture. You can never have that. 

So, Kai and Krystal or any of the idols can date of course. Even 14 year old kids date. What more for 23 year old like them? They are considered adults. They can do whatever that none of us are allowed to know (supposedly). Because romantic relationships are bound to me 'intimate' and 'private' for two people. Or something like that. 

The only thing that was probably wrong was the news was disclosed to the public because they had been not so careful being caught by camera lenses (and was released in such an unsual time). I mean, just a little courtesy to fans, they can date however they want but as long as it should be kept to themselves. Fans can be seriously invested to idols at various levels so they are bound to have different expectations especially when idols keep giving them something to expect.

But in respect to the idols, seriously fans should still give idols some credit. Whatever they did for you are something that they truly worked hard for. That is what you most definitely loved about them besides their 'face'. That is the reason why no matter how some people say about them, you still love them. Isn't that right? You love their music. You love every show, MVs, performances, concerts that they do. That's probably another reason to love them. Scandals or issues won't be everything about them. They still have that hard working 'idol' side to them that you can hang on to if you're not that emotionally devastated to forget that.

And even though you pay for their albums and merch, it's still the company paying them. Stop comparing yourself to fooled ATMs. You're not just mere ATMs. You saved money for everything they release...that's like your bloody hard-earned money so you can't think that they simply used you or you're that low. But just remember that they don't owe you everything. Maybe, they owe you the popularity they have right now. But not everything abt their life. They worked hard on whatever they have now and for where they are at now (just like how you earn the money you use to buy their merch). Besides, remember that you bought their albums on your own accord and you brought the heartache upon yourself so deal with it. 

Anyway, out of the topic: For you who's reading this until the very end (haha) say all that you feel towards them in your own little space. No one's supposed to give a damn about how you feel right now. If you're happy say it. If you're mad release it. We move on differently. No one's supposed to tell you when it should be enough. Because you will only know when it's already enough complaining and crying you did. Happy or not, you or anyone shouldn't be told what to do. Nor should you tell others what to do. That's just bull. 

One day you wouldn't even mind Kai or Krystal dating. One day it wouldn't even matter to you. One day you would even forget it. One day it will be done. The memory might still be there one day but the pain would be less or gone. Until then, learn to move on. And whether you're done liking them or you decided to still support them, remember that your life should not only revolve around them. Yes, like them all you want, but remember that you have reality and a life ahead of you. That's your life. That's what you should focus on. That's what you should work on more than anything. Because even if you want the world to stop for you, it will never cease for you. So you shouldn't halt your life for anyone else too.

I can't even begin to express how much I agree to every single word you wrote in this post. 6 and 15 tho... I hope those people use their valuable time to snap out of it and grow up. You go girl!

I've accepted their relationship and I support him, but I've been thinking: what if it actually was an April Fools joke gone wrong? S.M wouldn't have been able to simply deny the rumor because then a "scandal" would break out if they were ever seen together again, not to mention all this "proof" of their relationship that has suddenly appeared. I just think it's suspicious... Haha sorry I just really love conspiracy theories!!! And speaking of the smoking rumor, I thought it was nice that the fan chose to hide the photo to protect him, though it that they published it now because their feelings were hurt by this situation

That was deep... I'm not kai fan but even if it is chanyeol instead i would support him... And over past two years i realised that u shouldn't let the word of others to get you... Bc the ones who says such hurmfull words aren't capable of understanding and so on... U should not damage ur brains bc of them... I have few relatives that don't want to hear any other opinion and after i gave up on trying to nock some sence into them i became more relaxed and focused... Just take a deep breath and continue living just like before...

I'm that no.7 type of fan. I still can't believe that Kai is taken for now. After all, he's my ultimate bias. I feel like there's something missing when the news was revealed. He's the reason why I'm an ExoL. But I don't regret knowing them. They lived my life. No matter what, I'll be a true fan of Exo. And I'm agreed with you. We don't know the real situation. The dating issue might be true and there's still possibility that it's not true.
