nayrt

i more or less feel the same as ayrt but i can see what you're saying. for me the difference is that we can't see immediate consequences now, the true impact will be shown after the baby is born. on top of that i think whats making me more wary is that i'm a chen stan so i'm worried about the course his career is going to take now, but as far as exo as a group goes i don't think it's as bad as 2014 true.

yeah the future of his solo career is worrying it’s gonna be tough to shake off this image

idt his personal image so far is big enough for people to look past it

yeah exactly... i hope i'm overreacting but 'idol who knocked up his wife without planning to then left for two years of enlistment' is not a very endearing image, whether within fandom or to the general public, plus he'll inevitably have the father image tacked on once he comes back. I can't think of how he'll manage to reconcile all that while being an idol, unless he fully leaves it behind (which I don't want him to do) and becomes, idk, a radio host or non-idol singer. can either of those even properly make money?

idk again i'm possibly overreacting, i just have to say that to me all roads lead to rome, with rome here being a career that doesn't include sm giving him any more albums.

sorry for the long comment i still haven't processed all my emotions ;;

it’s okay anon, this is all a lot to process

everyone on twitter is taking the extreme of trying to keep things super positive and moving forward because of how loud kerries are being. it’s kinda hard to talk there without making a statement

use meme as a sounding board as much as you need

you're so kind anon ilu

pm what you said is why i'm not posting anything there. i don't want it to be taken as me being on the side of the kfans who consider him a traitor, and yet i can't post OMG I'M SO HAPPY FOR HIM <3333 because it'd be insincere. i'm not happy! i think it was a dumb move! there's obviously too many factors at play here (did they use contraceptives and those failed? did they not use any at all? was it a drunk mistake?) so me calling it a move might be too much and completely wrong, but almost all other idols haven't had an issue with this!

i was so happy to see him have the start of a solo career in 2019 because i think oppars are at the stage where they need to establish themselves outside of the group (as much as i adore the group and as much as i want it to come first), even when his music ended up being ballads that i find are the worst way to go if you want to GROW your fanbase, and now... this. sm didn't try very hard with sungmin and looking at his mini album sales hurts even me who has never been his fan. yes jongdae is sufficiently bigger than him, but is he big enough to withstand this? probably not.

ugh, i just want to be wrong and for it all to go well T_T i can't possibly imagine him going on those baby variety shows (but if his fiancee is the same girl as 3 years ago, i bet she will want to go) but at least they'd be SOME way for him to have a new audience

idk truly i'm filled to the brim with conflicting thoughts. he clearly loves singing and i love hearing him sing and now it just feels like there will be less and less opportunities to do that.

da anon :( i think speculating about what they did or did not do is just going to confuse and hurt you more. we can only wait to see how this is all going to unfold as uncertain as it all seems right now. he loves to sing so i'm sure this won't stop him from singing for whoever is still a fan of his

sorry nonny :( i didnt mean to start speculation, at the end of the day it is what it is. it just hurts ig

i hope maybe he can end up as a mentor in one of those survival shows idk i'm trying to think positive but cant find any optimistic result that sounds realistic too
