Fair warning: This post went from being okay to being all over the place.
I've been having my suspicions for a long time now because let's be real, even the most seemingly-innocent idols are anything but the spruced-up, clean-cut images that entertainment companies throw their way in order to appease fans and let them think that their oppas are perfect creatures sent on Earth to become ideal human beings who only do good things. So of course, when something like this surfaces on social networking sites, mayhem is bound to happen and personal opinions are being flung from one corner of the world to another as fans start laying down their thoughts on the matter at hand. And where do I stand? I'm in between accepting and being mildly disappointed.
I still stand by what I said last year (see post here) and now that we have actual legitimate proof (to all the fans saying it's just a lollipop, I am laughing obnoxiously at you), I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad about this because I am sad. I AM SO SAD. I am so sad because I thought he had it better in him, I am so sad because wow he really is all grown up now you da man Taeman, I am so sad because I am worried for the sake of his lungs and his voice and his career and his life in general. Korean Shawols want out goddamnit!!! And I wouldn't be so affected by this if SHINee didn't need them for album sales and winnings on music shows. Honestly, I could care less about fans wanting to leave the fandom because heck those are their own personal choices but I know that SHINee's going to be sad about this and that's what makes me sad. SAD SHINee EQUALS A SAD CHRYSS.
