I am actually happy that saw so many Wooyoung posts in Korean?(Google translate them) . I am glad people are perceiving him. I never understood the "gatekeep " jokes or idea. I want as many people as possible to perceive Wooyoung and acknowledge him as amazing performer. Now for new atiny ,I am a little hesitant there because I remember the time when we were smaller and it was extremely fun and peaceful and with new fans ,we probably fans of other groups with different expectations and mindsets and it is never peaceful on tl. For example when something doesn't go well calling people lazy (voters or streamers ) ,we can't pull the numbers of groups in big3 companies but we still pull through in the rankings. I will not go for voting since we have some awards and people might be more anxious but I will go for a streaming example. Last year in May (before Bouncy ) in stationhead we had a goal to reach wonderland in 100 M (I am talking about lay may by the way and early june ,just before bouncy ) and we were on average 90 people streaming all day . People came during bouncy (like 1-2k on average and when ateez streamed for an hour like 7k-9k people appeared but disappeared when ateez channel left ). After work (and the main station we had for years closed ,2 stations were created) we have like 200-250 people average streaming every day. In tl you would see people call us lazy for not streaming but I am sorry to say to the new ones but you weren't there. You can't judge someone that actually got ateez many things when the majority of kpop ignored them because they might take breaks for months (like after cb ,many of us leave stream for like 1-2 months ) or because we are not as many as in big3 groups or because to be in stationhead you have to have premium and it might not be doable to have it all year round (they are lending sometimes accounts but I don't know the process, I don't feel comfortable sharing personal information that might be needed to become part of a family plan or have to give proofs which gives me anxiety ,because when you get free account you have to hit certain streaming milestones that seems a little stressful ,like one day I might be able to stream like 18 hours but one day maybe only 1 hour max,it depends on the season and tasks I have in my everyday life ) so yeah sometimes I don't really want new people but the kind that always complain and bring trouble

Yup same here!!! I’m just happy whenever the members are widely talked. I’m happy when they get more fans. They truly deserve that 🥺

And also about the stationhead streaming, i get what you mean. There are things that require privilege to do. Even for me, i don’t have spotify premium all the time too. I just pay the small one when i do actually need some music (like for traveling for example). And also others stream on other platforms as well. Like YouTube or Bugs.
