I enjoy writing but i realized that my writing is rusty and needs a lot of improvements so i can better articulate my thoughts.. unfortunately this account doesn’t seem to be a safe space for me anymore, so perhaps i should create another outlet!? Hmmmm

I keep seeing antis talk about “artistic integrity” and “creative freedom,” and genuinely need to know what those words mean to you in this situation. Heeseung made a decision for his own career. ENHYPEN made the decision to continue forward as ENHYPEN. Those are grown ass adults making choices about their own artistry, futures, and livelihoods. Why does "artistic freedom" only seem to matter when the decision aligns with what you wanted? I also keep seeing “we will not support BELIFT monetarily until visible improvement is seen,” which IS your right, spend your money however you want, but why be inconsistent if that is truly your belief? BELIFT is tied to ENHYPEN and future Evan releases, merch, tours, and paid support. So does that mean no support for ENHYPEN or Evan? Because I have already seen people say Evan should not be boycotted, but ENHYPEN should be, which makes this all feel incredibly selective. What’s especially irritating is claiming exploitation while outright stealing their music, withholding support from the artists themselves, and demanding they live out the version of their careers you personally wanted. If all you care about is control and your entitlement, then say that. If seeing artists exercise their own autonomy makes you this angry, maybe it is time to unstan instead of trying to force everyone else to live inside your disappointment. You do not get to preach “creative freedom” while refusing to respect the creative choices the artists already made for themselves.
