(Possible TW?, Ravi VIXX). If an idol you liked did something like this how would you feel or how would you go about it? I'm still really unsure about my support.

So for a very long time during the era of 2017 - 2018 when I was discovering kpop and other groups apart from BigBang and EXO, I mostly slowly started to get into the genre just because of some of the issues I was facing at the time with my cpop artists (terrible companies, songs removed from global streaming platforms, disbandment and stuff like that), and I would come across a member of VIXX due to his acting in my first Korean Drama [Moorim HighSchool] which was a fantasy drama.

You might have seen me post this in post your random thoughts here once in the past or not I'm honestly not sure, but it does feel like I asked this before somewhere so if I did that here I apologize, (could have been on reddit just before I deleted my account not sure 100%), but anyway, Ravi (Kim Wonsik), is an idol I really really liked, his solo releases and albums brought me a lot of comfort during issues in school where I faced bullying, online bullying and people being mean to me for liking girls and other horrible stuff. VIXX was that group for me, there was an issue that came up with Ravi with evading military service and the way he did it.

Trust me, I know I don't know him personally or in his daily life and I am completely okay with that, but when it comes to manipluating his health records and claim to face issues with certain health issues/ mental health issues it just made me uncomfortable cause I know he didn't harm anyone or anything like that, but I'm still uncertain about if its okay to support him? I really like these songs and his voice, I'm just curious if you ever did something like this/been through this or your general thoughts on the issue? I'm so on the fence, I have since left his weverse (due to its official closure), I just finished my work out and couldn't help but think of this for some reason..

it's completely your choice OP since as I have said previously

it's perfectly valid to critique and judge someone based on their behaviour and their actions and their morals and ethics and character and if that person whether it be a celebrity/business/friend/family does not meet your expectations of how a person should behave/act then it's perfectly valid to cancel them or defend them from cancellation

you can choose to support (or not support) someone for whatever reasons you see fit

Thank you for always taking the time to comment and comment on your takes. You always have such a genuine heart when offering your opinion.

I really do think I’m still going to support him, I kinda talked it over with someone and I think I can be disappointed in his action but I think I’m also at a point where I’m starting to feel more comfortable with my support. He’s an idol I have respected for such a long time, everyone has hiccups along the way and I am slowly coming to terms with that. His music brings me comfort and I think that’s a good thing.

Thank you.

It's ok tbh. He might not even have manipulated the records. He might truly have been sick, psychologically. But we know sk mental healthcare system is shit basically

Thank you for taking the time to comment I don’t usually post negative threads like this or something along those lines and that’s not what I want people to know me for.

I love hearing other opinions when I am thinking about stuff like this, cause although I do try to ask for peoples opinions especially when I’m thinking about it.

Thank you for your comment. Nice meeting you haha ♥️

Yeah I don’t care about these type of things.

The only type of crime that would make me unstan is if you harm another person. Everything else I just don’t care enough.

I always smile when I see your profile picture, it is one of my favourite styles of him 🤭

But genuinely thanks for commenting. I talked with someone and they said something very similar to, unless it was a more serious crime of sorts then it would be different, I don’t usually try to post negative things like this but it’s nice to hear others thoughts instead of just mine.

Thank you, hope you are doing well. I think I will continue to support him more and more, I love him as a singer and I shouldn’t feel bad supporting.
