Display MoreIt's a literally a cycle. This is the whole reason why we say history repeats itself.
It goes like this:
1: Idols gets accused of bullying and usually gives little to no proof
2: Fans start saying "Let's stay neutral" then end up taking sides anyway
3: Agency releases statement while more groundless accusations come out
4: Idol apologizes and goes on hiatus OR the rumors eventually die down
5: Repeat
Why can't we just let the years in middle school and high school go?
Be aware that you are asking this to a forum filled with people who start fanwars at the drop of a dime and have been doing so for years on end. Moving on and letting go is basically a foreign concept.
I didn't mean to get people fighting with each other. Perhaps I shouldn't have made this post. I just wanted people to be aware that these situations always have the same outcome.

You're not wrong though!
Yeah but Garam’s issue is like a real-time event. The kids are still in school compared to the others that happened 10-15 years ago lmao.
My issue is if you’re a bully idk why you are going into the entertainment industry and not thinking your past won’t catch up to you. Like this is Korea lol.
Anyways, following SoMu stance they’re basically going at it like the other labels.
I'm side eyeing many people on here currently

Yeah same. The true colors are coming out.
bullying accusations in 2021: OMG THIS IS SO SERIOUS KICK OUT EVERYONE
bullying accusations in 2022: OMG THIS ISN'T EVEN A BIG ISSUE LIKE IT'S KID STUFF
Maybe because we've seen many accusers end up being liars in the past couple of years that watching knetz go on witch hunts based on very little or flimsy evidence over and over again gets f*cking tiring??

That was the case last year too. 
fr it's ridiculous

Literally anyone can make up anonymous accusations. Anyone.

Um I disagree with the last sentence. Bullying isn’t a joke, it’s a real life issue. The trauma doesn’t go gone once you move from high school.
Some people after many years still has the sequel. Just because it’s kpop doesn’t mean it’s not serious.
I already lost hope, Korea is a mess.
It will eventually die down, cuz there’s no objective evidence to it & the accusers will get in trouble soon enough
I already knew there were holes to the story from the beginning & it looked like the typical smear campaign. I’ve been seeing this BS since Lovelyz Jisoo, 8/10 I be right on these issues
But there will always be people who play the “neutral” stance while hoping it’s true as an excuse to want her out
But yeah it’ll be yesterday’s news by…. I’ll say next week
Kazuha (the Japanese-Dutch member) will be shown 2morrow, so I see all that attention going right to her lol

My personal stance was the same in 2021 and all the years before too. I'm with OP though, so...

Why would you assume they’re lying and not coerced. The thing about “staying neutral” is that people expect that due procedure will benefit the victims instead of protecting those with money and will yield the “truth”. That of itself is laughable and out of everything the most problematic mindset to have.
What people need to come into terms is celebs are likely not good people and need not be placed on a pedestal for you to like their music. But in kpop it’s about one up’ing each other OH I STAN SAINTS SO IM A SAINT BUT YOU STAN THE CREEPS SO YOURE A CREEP.
Before anything can happen the first step is to distance yourself from celebs and not make stanning them you’re entire personality.
If it is to the level that it has caused them irreparable trauma, I hope they found the courage to report it so they can get help and the situation can be dealt with properly.

It may be, but I-fans constantly relying on mistranslations of mistranslations also contributes to the problem. Instead of waiting for more info to come out, we’re shameless about our confirmation bias and eat up everything thrown at us as long as it fits our agenda. Some of the rumors may as well be fanfiction; it wouldn’t change a thing how we react towards it.
