another update op

i'm so fucking sick right now, i feel like i'm about to have a panic attack
like i really want to cry i just...i love(d) him SO MUCH...i don't know if i can listen to shinee songs anymore (indefinitely maybe) bc his voice is just so prominent in them


i don't even know what to say i'm just so fucking upset

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Posted this as soon as I saw the news; just updated the latest translations.

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

So he got too drunk, unintentionally touched a girl, she filed charges, they "sorted it out", and now everything is peachy. Ayt.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Istg if I see any of you trying to downplay this because he was drunk. If Omona is willing to blast Baekho with just one statement then Onew, who's company admitted to this, deserves a similar response.

Being drunk doesn't excuse his actions at all, maybe he should learn to be a functional adult and not drink to the point where he starts sexually harassing women.disgusting piece of shit

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

this, if you know you're a fucking messy drunk and lose control of yourself THEN STAY HOME

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

That was the fastest I've seen a case like these be "solved", but SM's announcement doesn't really clear his name; the damage has been done, in fact, it makes the whole thing even shadier. I really don't know what to think.

Fuck that, the whole statement admits he did it. I'm done.

[simplyseasalt.livejournal.com]

This was disappointing to read. I hope the lady wasn't pressured to drop charges or anything.

[venicetaeminnie.livejournal.com]

lbr she probably was

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

Wtf, I've heard that Gangnam clubs are full of groping.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Never been there but the stories I've heard about clubs in Seoul/Korea are enough to not want me visit it

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

it's, like... 3am where i live and all these details are coming out so fast and sloppily. and i'm confused.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Would it be ok to add the trigger warning tag
thx

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

I forgot, I'm sorry. Will add right away.

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

This makes me sick. A 'misunderstanding', yeah, right.

[meggicchi.livejournal.com]

the number of tweet defending on twitter made me sick, i'm glad it was posted early here and hopefully no one will give that 'innocent until proven guilty' bs, he basically admitted to it gdi.

i was a shinee stan since their debut up until 2013, it's been a while and i really don't feel any emotional attachment to any of them anymore so this doesn't affect me at all.
i just feel sorry for the victim and all women who have to endure these situations everyday, whether a man is drunk or not and are constantly accused of being liars. onew and all his defenders can screw off into space and fall into a black hole ugh.

Yikes this is gonna be a mess

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

Honestly my heart fell to the pit of my stomach when I read this I was getting rdy for bed and my anxiety shot up so idk if I'll be able to sleep tonight. Like basically this reads like he did, he was drunk, even if it was unintentional it happened, charges were dropped

People gropping or people touching (even if it's accidental or a brush trying to walk by) is a reason I never went back to a club my first experience was p shitty

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

Hope your anxiety won't get too much in the way :(

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

can he just enlist now and pretend to repent so i can continue to enjoy shinee as ot4 lmao

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't remember how many times me or any of my female friends have been groped in a night club or in the subway like me think it's some normal shit.
I use to move or give men a stare but now I'm at the point where I don't keep quiet anymore. I make a scene.
Last time some a-hole grabbed my ass on a subway I just caught his hand and raised it high while yelling 'why is you hand on my ass'... boy got out real quick. I have zero patience for this shit.
Like how hard is it to keep your hands to yourself?

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

god that's so great, i wish i were brave enough to do that but i always freeze up. reminds me of when my friends were going to a concert when they were about 14 and an adult man tried to pick them up in central london afterwards. luckily one of their older sisters was there but she made a massive show, yelling about how old the others were, basically publicly shaming him.

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

Yo this is fucked up man :( I don't wanna be that guy to say "onew would never do that!!!" but here we are now... Hope he reflects deeply and gets what he deserves

Hope the victim is okay and wasn't pressured to drop the charges. He should've went home if he was that drunk. Touching people (girls in particular though) while drunk is never an excuse to touch them. Keep your hands to yourself.

It just sucks it was an idol I actually really liked and really followed.

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

what the fuck. this is so disgusting.
he was my fave in shinee... i am kinda shocked.
him being drunk is no excuse for this. i feel so bad for that woman :(

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

He used to be my fave and though it's years ago and I stopped having faves a long time ago, this is still so disappointing. Being drunk and at a party is not an excuse for groping.

[floydsastar.livejournal.com]

SM sure works fast

i'm so over all the 'omg he would never! he's a ball of sunshine!' posts/tweets. like no bitch you don't know him. you don't know what any of these people are like in real life.

[mewaqua1.livejournal.com]

i feel disappointed truely...the reports/tweets are so vague that it could have one way or the compleet opposite, i definitely condemn any sexual assualt in anyway regardless of the fact that shinee is my fave all the way, i hope what was said is true and sm better make another statement when the investigation is over with the final statement of what happen (bc this statement with the news is just too vague af and doesn't give anyone answers at all) and if he did it, i hope the woman is okay and not pressed into dropping charges and onew better give a real apology to the woman and fans...

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

if he did it? sis sm confirmed it there is no "if"

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

fuck u u piece of garbage!!!!! and wat makes this situation even more disgusting and infuriating is the Oppa Protection Squad goin out full force on twitter rn! 🤬

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

I mean to be fair, Omona have gone out of their way to pretend the Baekho allegations never happened and the posts about it were full of people saying they didn't believe the victim so idk what kind of parallel you're going for here... honestly the way people responded to that event was really triggering for me as an assault victim and threw me into a pretty big depressive episode for like a week. To this day a lot of people have the misconception that the accuser was proven wrong when that never happened... it's just what they want to believe because they think Baekho is hot =/

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

Honestly this is the mindset to have if you wanna spare yourself from feeling like a fool.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

im currently fighting people on facebook defending this shit. its a polish kpop community and they literally defend any boy that does a similar thing. currently the most liked comment is "it doesn't seem like onew"

YOU DONT KNOW THESE FUCKING PEOPLE!!!!! WHAT THEY SHOW YOU ON CAMERA IS NOT NECESSARILY A REFLECTION OF WHO THEY ARE

im pissed off

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

Polish community is really immature, I tried blend a bit but peace out during Yoochun mess.

[5dogs1cat.livejournal.com]

disgusting.
the people in social media who are still keen on defending him are as disgusting.
if he can't handle his alcohol and goes around touching other people inappropriately then he should have stayed home.

[kashiyaek.livejournal.com]

this was so confusing watching go down on twitter. first it came on television so ppl were saying to take it with a grain of salt, then it turned out to be a "misunderstanding", then sm admits he did it but it was ~an accident. fuck men tbh.
