I debated over posting this...
I agree with the second last comment. It's wishful thinking but I hope they don't read articles about them for the time being.

I feel as though people forget that the problem started from Stardom when they blame Block B for all this. I feel sorry for the head of Stardom and his family but still. Blaming them was already crossing the line, what more calling them murderer idols. It's not even their fault yet they're getting the crap for it. I hope none of the members will ever see this but it's a tad impossible

this is so wrong

jfc, murderer idols is going so far cross the line. The journalists who inferred Block B/their lawsuit had something to do with the CEOs suicide is a jackass and shit reporter. I'm really feeling for the members, esp P.O considering he was already hospitalized for the Thailand debacle, this will surely do the same.

And rip CEO, my condolences to his family.

THIS. I know just staying away from the internet won't completely protect them, but knowing what people think and actually reading it over and over are different things imo. I also hope that if they DO start to have feelings of irrational guilt, they talk to someone about them.

I might not really like Block B much, but this is taking things a little far. Blaming them for the former CEO's death is really fucked up, and really unnecessary.

omfg murderers really? are you fucking telling me if theh were robbed of money they wouldnt pursue legal action and they would just forget about it? its such a dick move to pin someone's suicide on ppl especially when you have no part whatsoever with the situation

Ugh, hope these poor kids get a break and they can get their careers back ASAP.

For all those who complain about fangirls fussing over block b and not being concerned enough about the suicide itself, I think that protective (fangirl) reaction is actually warranted here. The whole report about the ex-CEO was never about his suicide, it was about slandering the group as usual. As much as I would like to empathize with the ex-CEO even with his history of ripping people off, there's nothing more I can say other than RIP. There's nothing that can be done about the deceased, but at least there's something to be done about news sites and netizens exploiting someone's death to unjustly implicate the living. Things cannot get worse for the group as it is; they've been ripped off, they're without a label, on hiatus, most likely financially worn out from the trials, the biggest player in this fiasco is deceased so they probably won't get their rightful pay (if the ex-CEO happened to use the money he took to pay off debts or whatever), and now the actual victims are being accused for 'murder' lol. With this kind of BS happening I can't imagine how hard it must be for other artists to take action against their agencies

Thanks for summing up what I wanted to say before I deleted the whole paragraph. I think this is more than just fans blindly trying to protect their idols, the netizen outrage was what (directly or indirectly) led to P.O being hospitalized for shock/stress. Who knows what being labelled as murderers will do to them.

I hope this doesn't stop them from continuing with the case though, it'll probably give other companies hope that they can rip their artistes off without suffering the consequences.

this is just disgusting and too much right now. My condolences to the CEO's family and may he rest in peace, and virtual hugs to block b

wow. just wow. Block B has seriously been shit on from the beginning. They're just seven guys that wanted to pursue a music career, but constantly something arises to interfere with this. Which is a damn shame seeing as the music they produce is actually good and they all are genuinely sweet people (despite some instances). I would love for them to be able to come back from this, but I can't see any benefit from continuing being in the public eye.

[yammychanchan.livejournal.com]

I can't even... I thought it couldn't get any worse. Imagine how hard it is on them and especially their parents. Oh Korea...

[tyreling.livejournal.com]

UGh that's just horrible, blaming Block B for everything. I'm not exactly a fan but I've read some of the Block B articles about their protective fans and ughhh they never seemed to get a break.

RIP CEO.

It's too cruel to acuse them of murder… netizens are going too far about this…

[virgo288.livejournal.com]

are people for serious blaming Block B for the CEO's suicide? :\

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

What a mess :( It's horrible the things people say around tragic circumstances, this is way beyond insensitive!
I really feel for the man's family especially in all this, and I worry for the boys of Block B with these kind of comments coming out.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]
