This is me with fandom: #PrayForSouthKorea


I normally don't let my opinions regarding public issues known on the internet because I know that not everyone is going to agree with what I have to say so instead of brewing misunderstandings and disagreements, I just keep my mouth shut. Blogging is an easy platform to convey my feelings but having an audience can also backfire on me if I'm not careful. To put in other words, I am actually very opinionated but I keep things to myself because I don't want anyone to get hurt. 

But ever since the South Korean tragedy with the sunken ferry, I've been having some thoughts regarding the matter. I tend to get really aggressive when it comes to social issues and some fans' reactions to the delayed music video for EXO's Overdose really got on my nerves. I'll be honest, when I came home to a tweet from a friend claiming of the cancellation of the music video's release, I was a bit annoyed. But that was before I knew about the incident with Sewol and after some thorough searching and reading regarding the topic at hand, my heart began to ache but it wasn't from the delayed MV, it was from the heavy weight of trying to digest what just happened to the students who have risked their lives and to those who are, up to now, still fighting for survival.

And then I saw this screen cap on my timeline and I was absolutely livid.
