You claimed to be doing “free work” for the company and ateez,but yet nobody forced you to do that. You had free will to decide to promote the comeback. If you actually enjoyed being a fan of ateez you wouldn’t want compensation or supporting them. I’m not saying you should force yourself to like the song,im saying that it’s normal that sometimes you don’t expect a song to turn out like this. That doesn’t mean you were doing “free work” for them. That’s just being a normal fan,and you can’t expect every song to be perfect and then be disappointed.

I do not fw yeosang’s screen time now also we should account b sides he did have decent time on them. He SHOULD have more on titles but ppl act like it’s through the whole album . Giving him barely any lines in the title is mad but he has a decent amount enough the album . With jongho my opinion is a bit different to me he’s like the voice of Ateez he’s very prevalent through their songs and albums his vocals are a kinda backbone so I feel him having less on one song isn’t too bad cause we all know him and his talent

You should’ve kept the video up so that if people did misunderstand you, there’d be the ones who didn’t who can clarify what you said. This looks like a backpedaling attempt. From what i saw in your video, you were displeased with the album as a whole and said how “draining” it was to try and promote it. It’s completely optional as a fan to like the song, as it’s entirely your opinion. But that’s not on ATEEZ if you don’t like it or if YOU FEEL the need to consume the merch. HJ and San have said many times that fans don’t have to consume EVERYTHING they sell in order to be ATINY.

some if the responses I was seeing to your video were honestly confusing me because what I took from your video (I watched the whole thing) was that your brain was going thru some sh*t with your own feelings about the kpop industry in general and you decided to share how you were feeling in the moment and the timing just happened to hit right when this comeback happened so most of your feelings came out verbally tangled with the cb

You were right. I don’t know why everyone is misquoting and coming for you. You weren’t asking for fame or compensation. You were bringing up real issues and letting your followers know why you weren’t reacting to the new album and that you might not. You talked about feeling like you had to react or talk about the line distribution like you have before and that’s absolutely false. Do what makes you happy. I love all your takes when you give them but no one is entitled to your time and efforts. I hope you come back to more Ateez content when you’re feeling it again, but if not, just keep biasing yourself ;)

emphasis on atiny “content creators” aren’t doing this for clout but bc we love ateez and want to share it with people, none of us are doing this for money🫶

seeing others responses to your video was rough because they wanted to misinterpret just to misinterpret. I would watch their video and would get so confused because I didn't take anything you said the way THEY tried to interpret it. AND THEN would take one quote from one point and try to use it to explain a completely different point, HUH???

I fully agree that if the song was longer they would get more lines, and that KQ is not that good promoting their groups, we basically made the marketing all over this come back

I also believe it is the length of the songs. What happened to hitting 3 minutes?? We get barely 5 songs on albums and are expected to pay $35 each for them. Bring back 3 minutes and 30 second songs so 8 members can all be heard!!!

I also went to Korea and was a bit “disillusioned” like you said while I was there. It’s a strange experience to see everything I’d built up in my head come to life, and to see the reaction people had for it there! But I was able to work through it thankfully, so I completely understood what you meant by that!! I’m sorry this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion for you. 🤍🤍

I didn’t see the video at all. I saw clips from others where others clipped parts of your videos. Your video never came up for me so I was confused by the whole video stitching.

Genuinely curious to know what you experienced in Korea that led you to a shift in perspective. Would you consider talking about that?

this is why I say kpop fans especially atiny will take a inch and run a mile with it . Because that was you at a vulnerable point expressing valid frustration for the mistreatment for yeosang and jongho which has proof to back it up because all we want from kq is quality and members being mistreated isn't quality some people are saying atleast be grateful for wooyoung he got lines after never really getting I literally screamed at his part i was so happy but at the end of the day Equality matters and I hope you keep making comeback content because im surely not only one who really enjoys you reacting to concept photos and other things and It genuinely makes my day so ignore the haters

I agreed with your original video? I went through similar things with this comeback and I thought your opinions were valid. Some even made my own feelings feel valid. I saw a different video saying you were spreading hate but them making a video ripping it apart was doing the same thing? What you were saying wasn't even hate but just your own options. As someone who is also older sometimes you just fall out and that's ok. I love the content you make and I know that can be draining. You're doing it for fun and when you don't click with the content it makes it harder. Especially when you're hyped up for something and it's just disappointing or not the same, having expectations not met is OK and being disappointed is also OK. I also am a huge advocate for: you do not need to like every single thing an artist makes to be a fan. period. Our Kpop artist have LARGE discographies, you do not need to like everything they make or what their companies do.
