U-KISS

I am officially and irrevocably pissed off.

First, U-KISS is getting a new member. I don't care that Hoon and AJ joined the group in place of Alexander and Kibum, simply because I wasn't there to experience the influence of the two while they were still in the group. As for Dongho, he hit me hard. I loved him to bits and pieces, and I would've followed him into Tartarus is necessary. After he left, I shed tears for him. I never do that. But for him, I made a freaking good exception. Now NH Media thinks they can go and replace his sweet little ?! SOMEONE CALM ME DOWN BEFORE I BLOW UP.

EXO

First off: Kris.

Let's take a look at this from all directions.

1) Kris's side.

He feels like he's being treated as an object in the industry. Okay. I can understand that. JYJ, Hangeng, and I'm sure many more (such and trainees and whatnot, if they did) have left. I've heard all kinds of rumors. For instance, JYJ and Hangeng left because of the following reasons: the slave contract, poor treatment(little sleep, hardly anything to eat, having to work when sick), sasaeng fans, etcetera. Now, Kris may feel these things.

But he also may not.

2) The other side.

We haven't stepped far enough back yet to realize that we just seem to follow what the media tells us. For all we know, Kris could be doing this for selfish reasons: money, fame, notoriety, etcetera. I've heard of some idols and actors/actresses doing this stuff for selfish reasons (but I can't remember who they are). But have we even realized that some of the BS we hear from the media could just be a cover-up to what really lies below the surface?

I encourage you to watch I AM. Great movie by SM. I love all of it, but what really gets me is after the concert when they (SM Family) all hug Lee Soo Man with smiles and such. Nobody could fake that so well (unless they are some kind of pathological liar, but I doubt they are). Anyway, what if Kris is only trying to get away from SM because he's bored with it and wants quick money for his own selfish reasons? Maybe Soo Man is the victim this time, and the artist is the attacker.

3) EXO's side.

Tao: "We have to restart preparations for the concert as 11 members. So tired. EXO, let's love."

He seems devastated and genuinely hurt and betrayed from the news of Kris leaving.

Suho: "I think Kris' actions are irresponsible and show that he's not thinking EXO at all. Our members and agency have no issues... I sincerely love the EXO members. Our motto is 'We are one,' and like the motto says we'll become an EXO that think about EXO and our fans instead of just our individual selves."

He must be pissed off at Kris or something, because I never imagined Suho sounding so... snarky.

All-in-all, I am super mad at the K-Pop world right now (at least SM and NH), so I'll just go listen to some YG or Cube, and maybe some JYP. Good day.
