For That Leader Worth to be Proud Of... -edited with link O_O
i have to make a post since this is big thing even though i'm lazy to make one...oh well...
I've said all i wanted to say in the article's comment section so i won't say anything much...
but i admire Junyoung for speaking up finally...words cannot be unsaid though, things can't be undone...he's probly instigated and enraged by what happened to Taeheon and i guess...it's not merely a matter of 'Taeheon's dream'...but corruption of humanity...i hope the members won't turn their backs on him now...especially the more popular ones that would have more influence, need to be on his support...bcuz the company would be in trouble if they lost them...especially Kwanghee,Hyungsik,Siwan, Dongjun...who are the biggest onscreen money makers and to a degree, their public image...
Because this is his way of protecting Taeheon n his other members from unfair treatment and horrid things. It seemed like there's something really shady about Taeheon's match especially by how freely Junyoung expresses how he despise the fighter who went up against Taeheon...i don't think he's that childish to whine just bcuz Taeheon got injured in a fair match...unless something else have been agreed behind the scene and that agreement wasn't carried out as promised.
about the CEO and company though...i hope he won't back down bcuz there's no way he could without being harmed....either way....things aren't going to get pretty so might as well fight with all you got now...
the one thing i fear is that money can buy everything and that the CEO buys media to shut him off from continuing his 'mission'...i hope the CEO won't 'waste' money for that...
and to naive people who think big companies have no such problem....hons...please....stop being too naive....you don't know what happens in there...would they make a documentary showing what truly happens? /rollseyes/
just something i picked up from netizenbuzz, not related to this case.
2. [+118, -72] I saw this broadcast as well and in order to survive in the industry, you need to provide ual services and land a sponsor. Don't like idols too much... they may look flashy and impressive on the outside but what you see inside is dirty and extremely shocking. People also have the misconception that big companies aren't like that but a celebrity already revealed that big companies are worse. They draw up contracts between their artist and a sponsor for a set number of time and they're required to service them every night. Broadcast PDs are also lobbied for huge sums... of course, among other favors. Without a sponsor who supports you, it's hard to get anywhere. The broadcast industry wants to be treated in return for helping you get your name out there. You become a celebrity if you can take all that, otherwise you don't.
You never know kids. we never know. so best if we don't pretend that we do.

^ i wouldn't go as far as to relate the two news...bcuz that trainee being forced to ual demands could be from any company and maybe even almost all companies tbh....even your idols with pure unified image might not be so pure and uninvolved in these shady things just sayin'...judging from onscreen image is the naivest thing one can do...though of course, possibility is there...

^ more or less same as the akp article...
http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2014/09/zeas-junyoung-takes-to-twitter-to.html
^ would rather not read the comments there...since it has the most childish kiddycomments acting like they know everything...but the knetz support are nice to read...especially the mention of 2nd Shinhwa...it'd be hard since Shinhwa already had an influence since they were from SM afterall...but i hope that doesn't mean they wouldn't fight.
Junyoung sound so angry though...probly something really bad had happened as aftereffect of the match the other day...i'm glad he's letting out, bcuz he does seem like someone who would just take everything in n keep it to himself...
Some people are saying...why use SNS when you could go face to face like a man...well, have you thought that maybe he did but to no effect? Have you thought that maybe this is his last resort? Some people are asking why say he's gonna reveal everything tomorrow n not just say it. Have you thought that maybe it's bcuz it's something so horrible and he didn't really want to say it, and he just want to make his company listen? Have you thought that maybe he's giving chance/aka...threatening the CEO?
Either way...if something happen to him or the members or the group now...at least people will know who to point finger to...have you ever think maybe going public is actually the safest way?
Though i hope he'd just reveal everything n if something wrong is happening...let it become a police case...the company shut down...and they start their own company though that'd be hard since their money seem to be taken away from them unjustly n it'd take a lot of compromise to get the richer members to fund the rebuilding of their group n maybe company...
trivia: Shinhwa's Eric funded a lot of the cost in production of Shinhwa's album after they got out of SM n joined Good ent...which was created by SM ent ex workers who supported shinhwa...but the company didn't have money n Eric was the richest with his CFs and dramas. i hope people are aware that not everything was rainbows n unicorns with Shinhwa/SM either...it's just that they're probly smart enough to know it'd give them no advantage to be against SM n act like everything's good...since they're already freed anyway...
I just hope ZE:A will stay strong together through this n come out safely.
if they have to disband to leave the company...then so be it...as long as they can be safe....n if they can regroup after that...i don't care whatever name they use, it'd be nice, but even if they don't...it's understandable really...since they hadn't achieve much success together, yet they had remained together for almost five years already and not showing signs of serious conflicts amongst themselves n that itself is an achievement on its own n it's good enough if they can maintain their friendhsip n brotherhood like some unpopular disbanded groups. even freaking big popularity groups fall down at one point or the other. who cares about falling down? If you're gonna fall, bring along who should fall together and make the fall worthy.
But i really hope they'd protect ZE:A, while protecting their own safety...if that's possible, afterall, they're brothers n good friends...in fact, i hope all SE artistes would join forces if things were that bad with them as well, and if this could get them out of their bad situations. unless they don't find any problem with their current situation then i guess it's their own choices...but since this is directly related to ZE:A...i hope they'd pull through this together.
I can understand if they couldn't be on his side for their own sake...but if they go against him, i'd be utterly disappointed.
anyhow...Moon Leader/Lee Hoo Leader/ZE:A Leader...i always say it's stupid to believe in onscreen personality and that we never really know our idols and what could be their real personalities behind the facades...but i'll be that stupid now...cuz i have faith in him...we know he's the kind of person who wear his heart on his sleeve, while keeping it all in, don't we? We know ZE:A won't be ZE:A without him right? Have you seen an idolgroup Leader who actually build his own group, and find his own members? Who make the members cried so much just speaking of him... Yeah, he's that leader. The kind you don't find in every other random group. (actually, his personality as a leader n his situations reminds me of Park Jungjin, leader of disbanded A'ST1..somewhat...)
I hope this will propel more courage instead of making the others scared...maybe the dirtiness of idol industry could be revolutionized starting with this one small step filled with big courage.
Have strength and keep fighting cuz it's gonna be a long fight and not a pretty one. More tears might be shed and more pain could be gained...but you've taken the first step to be strong...so don't lose strength now.
Fight till you win.
If anyone's gonna say anything nasty or stupid...better not...you know, i won't tolerate it right?
ps: random but i wonder if his name change has anything to do with....idk.../taps chin/...
and...i really like this part though...especially the bold parts...
He said, "I'll finish here for today.. You said that you were the company's owner and CEO, and yelled at me to respect you, right? I'll respect you... I grit my teeth today as well and I'll stand back. Have a nice day.. CEO.. Why did you do this? I asked... I asked you to please stop." He added, "Ah, and I forgot something. If you threaten or try to buy out the rest of the 8 ZE:A members, I will do the same back to you. I'm prepared to break that as well so stop, president. I'm not going to bear it any longer."
He said, "Those kids... ZE:A.. They're my children. I'm an only child and when I was lonely, they became like brothers to me.. Don't touch them.. They're mine. Don't take anything away from me anymore. I'll become a killer to protect my members and our fans.. God, please help me and listen to my prayers."
He concluded, "From now on, I will fight to protect my people. Lord.. Please forgive me for having bad thoughts and acting badly for a bit.. As much as I believe in you, believe in me.. I will work to clear the blame of the singers who are being unfairly blamed. Amen.."
That's ZE:A's Leader for you.
