Just let me get these off my chest...

Okay, so let me start with 'Onew giving Jonghyun the middle finger".

Alright, this is definitely inappropriate BUT it was obviously about 2 grown up men fooling around with each other and unfortunately they're famous and it was caught on camera.

And here we have Onew and Afterschool's JungAh seen together and suddenly dating rumors appear just because they were having lunch and catching up on each others' lives since they both have no schedules for the day (as most close friends would do when they have time).

Then there is the issue about Onew smoking an electric cigarette. I mean, COME ON! Be thankful he isn't smoking the real one.

These rumors/scandals going around about SHINee's leader are actually pretty insignificant.

1. HE IS FREAKING 24(23 internationally)!

2. So what if he has a girlfriend or is dating?! Isn't he allowed to?

3. Just because we see him doing something we usually don't see him doing (the middle finger thing and smoking an electric cigarette) doesn't make him a bad person.

4. Hasn't he showed enough proof that he is a good person? I mean, he freaking helped a fan when she fell down at the airport. Not to mention all of the other things he has done.

5. He is just a normal human being behind that image he is given as an idol.

Lastly, so called 'fans' leaving the fandom just because of these? REALLY?! Don't they make mistakes? Besides, he apologized immediately after the 'middle finger' issue. REAL fans understands that their idol has their own lives to live just like everybody else. Shouldn't we as fans give our idols our full support at times like these?

I admit that I was surprised when I first heard about these BUT after a few minutes I was okay with it. I don't care about the middle finger issue cause I know they were just fooling around like all good friends do. I don't care about the electric cigarette smoking thing cause at least he isn't smoking real cigarettes which isn't good for him. And him dating and having a girlfriend? Of course I'll be sad because that girls isn't me BUT if he is happy then it's fine by me because no matter what negative news comes out about him the positive things he has done overshadows small issues like these.

Now that that is finally out of my chest I apologize for ranting...

I hope you guys understand where I'm coming from and know that these are just my opinions.
