[theemii.livejournal.com]

Recently returned boy group C-Clown has set forth on offering advice to bully victims in school.

C-Clown recently came back with a new single titled “Justice.” The intro of “Justice” contains a phone number “010-8810-8615,” which is part of their new event that will try to help out students who are suffering because of school violence.

C-Clown will be taking in phone calls and messages from students who are bullying victims through that number and try to offer their advice and comfort.

C-Clown’s agency Yedang Entertainment sources commented, “We planned this event so it can help at least a little for school violence, which is becoming a big issue in our society today.”

Meanwhile, C-Clown is receiving a lot of attention for “Justice” due to its catchy tunes and choreography.

For their comeback event, C-Clown is encouraging students who are suffering from school violence to text the number. C-Clown will attempt to take the messages and solve them.

1. [+80, -4] The thought behind it is nice but how are they going to solve them exactly?

2. [+51, -3] Maybe I'm jaded or whatever but I see this as only an event to make them look good... How do they expect to solve them? And I bet 99 out of the 100 calls are probably fans that have nothing to do with school violence.

3. [+50, -3] I bet the lines clogged up with prank calls ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+44, -3] The thought behind it is nice but it's not realistic at all. Just another promotional event.

5. [+21, -4] Yeah, so what are you going to do to solve school violence?

netizens are pessimistic... of course they are not doctors, of course there will be more fans calling but if they can listen to 1 person out of 100 it's still a good thing. I like the fact that 2 groups talked about it this week (B1A4 too?)

plus, nobody ask them to solve the problem, it's the State's job.

my babies ;__;
I know many that call will be fans just wanting to hear "oppa's" voices but I believe that some that call just want to hear conforting words, to know they aren't alone so I'm proud these boys decided to be that conforting voice.

smh at netizens.
ofc fans will call in. that doesn't mean they don't have problems. and if they can open up to their beloved oppa it's at least more than you shitheads do about bullying.

as a promo event i do find it kind of questionable but overall it's a good idea. it's just that i think maybe the boys are not rly prepared for taking in so much psychological weight..there should at least be a professional by their side imo.

and maybe it's not about solving but listening.

Netizens are always so bitter and pressed about everything. They maybe are not gonna solve anything but sometimes people just want someone to listen to them and comfort them. I think this is pretty admirable on their part tbh.
I find funny that Korea is liking their new hip hop/badass comcrpt and the song tho. The total opposite from Omona lol.

Netizens...like yes OBVIOUSLY fans are going to be calling the lines, but better they open it for the purpose of anti-bullying than just say "oh a chance to talk with oppa!!!" What if they have fans that are being bullied, if I were in the situation I'd be way more open to having my bias cheer me up than a guidance counsellor or some random person on the net. Even if someone was desperate and heard about this without being a fan of C-Clown it could save their life.

You can't "solve" something like bullying, people are always going to be vile and violent. All you can really do is lessen the impact it has on people's lives by listening, respecting them, and not stigmatizing them. This is at the very least an ATTEMPT while being promotional, one of the better ideas honestly. And I'm sure they didn't say this crap about B1A4.

People are still too busy talking about the sajaegi scandal to care about what they're doing

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

this is a terrible idea

The only thing that worries me about this is if someone calls in and needs professional help and the boys don't know what to do - I hope they've thought this through and are directing callers to professional helplines.

But other than that, this is a really nice thing to do (even if it is for promo). Most of the time people just need someone to talk to, because feeling isolated makes everything that much harder for these kids. If this is an outlet they can finally feel comfortable enough to talk about their problems then I fully support it, especially if their own schools and families can't offer the support they need.

And all this talk about how it "won't solve anything" pisses me off.

it's a nice idea offering to listen is kind of help and support I know they are not professional but it is a nice move imo.
