I am and always have been an Onew stan, but I also was critical of him in regards to that scandal, and I think there is a productive way to voice disagreement with people's actions that, like you said, respect the victim of the incident and put the onus on the individual who committed the wrongdoing (accidentally or otherwise) to be the agent of change.
Whatever it is that these trolls are trying to achieve isn't borne of trying to change misogyny in Korea, or trying to encourage Onew into some kind of substance abuse program. It's pure maliciousness that comes from something really disgusting that's more deep seeded than dislike of a particular idol.
