I fully didn't know there was any animosity between Jiwoong fans and gmg fans/shippers in general. If you're a Jiwoong fan, I'm sorry you see him get dragged into ships or portrayed as a homewrecker...but I really don't think that was OP's intention?? I imagine OP literally has no clue of that drama because it's going on mostly in english speaking fan spaces and OP is japanese. According to the translation of her post, she just wasn't expecting Taerae to be the answer so she blurted out Jiwoong out of nervousness 🤷‍♀️ and the whole thing seemed to be just a bit of fun on Gunwook's part, like him fighting with Matthew stans over Matthew is already a running gag that clearly amuses him and he has fun indulging.

Don't worry, I'm not here to bash your opinions, and I actually feel glad that you felt comfortable enough to send something long and thought out to me. Honestly I think it's natural to feel the way you do, like we're humans, we naturally compare ourselves to others and when someone's situation seems better than ours, when it seems like they couldn't give a shit about our situation and yet they're loudly demanding attention for their own, we feel hurt and jealous and bitter.

And yeah, I've been here before, so I know there's absolutely no way Zeroses--like ANY fan--are going to equally support all the members. On one hand, it's just a fact of life. I've been through group disbandments/fizzles into solo content plenty of times and as much as you talk, in the end your attention will be biased and a few years later you'll be like damn what IS that guy doing I haven't kept up with him 🥲 and then on the other hand, stanning members who are less popular after the breakup and looking enviously at the most popular members hurts!!! It sucks!!! I miss when we were selling out stadiums together and not barely scraping together two hundred people for a concert!!!

Even on a smaller scale, everyone was SO PASSIONATE about BP and their trainees when it ended, but where's that support for like, TOZ? Where are the album sales for Onepact? Where are the ticket sales for EVNNE? I've talked to people before who were like omg I was a Park Hanbin one pick and they don't even know he debuted!!! The kpop world is so fucking fast paced and oversaturated, it's insane. It's impossible to keep people's attention.

I don't really have an answer for you, unfortunately, but well, there really are silver linings to having a smaller fandom in the future!! 🥲 Often your fave can be freer to do what they want, they can have a closer and more comfortable relationship with fans and do more interesting activities! And since there's no competition the fandom is usually less toxic, too. So I hope you can find comfort in the fact that the way you're feeling is not unjustified, but at the same time, there's always a silver lining and time can heal a lot of things. While I'm sure there's going to be SO much change for our faves in the future, I hope that we can all find stability and happiness in whatever that does look like!! ♡
