i don't think krystal is gonna stay tho after what they did to sica. i feel like she'll be the first to peace out if not Victoria to completely conquer China.

Krystal renewed her individual contract sometime last year. Also, Kai.

what does kai have to do with krystal renewing a contract?

[ultraflyy23.livejournal.com]

Those are two separate thoughts. She just renewed her contract last year and also, it'll be easier for them to date if they're in the same company, so that might (emphasis on might) influence her decision to stay similar to how the Jessica situation could have influenced her to leave.

I don't see why krystal would leave she loves her members and seems to enjoy being in fx they only have one comeback a year and the rest she can act in china or do whatever she wants its a great situation for her

I mean all of f(x) clearly love each other and I suppose.

people act like krystal is glued into jessica and it's so annoying lmao

this "krystal will leave bc of what they did to sica" narrative is so annoying, they aren't siamese twins who got to do everything together. sica is her own person who can do whatever she can, as well as krystal.
