REMINDER: Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
Well, I believe that you're right in saying that woosan are fine (they obviously are) and that during concerts each member is mainly focused on delivering the best performances and interacting with the public. Personally I've been at three stops, two for which I had vip tickets so I had the privilege of noticing this thing in first person and yes, they're professionals and during concerts they behave like professionals. Plus, it is also true that woosan have stopped engaging much in fanservice for years now (of course sometimes it still happens, it's normal, but generally speaking they don't.) So yeah, in my opinion the "divorce" allegations and panic spreading amongst the raintinys is dumb af and, mostly dangerous since solo stans will thrive on it to further allow hate on either of them, as well as many other atinys will use it as an excuse to validate their personal dislike for shippers by assuming that "woosan don't interact anymore because they're sick of shippers." So some raintinys should just calm down because on the long run it will only bring more troubles.
That being said... I think this frustration on having woosan as biases/fav pairing and subsequently having to bear this blatant form of censorship that is going on is very very very frustrating. I'm not entirely blaming kq since we know nothing of their reasons. Perhaps woosan themselves chose to tone down their interactions on public spaces (which I believe may be the case. I mean, I believe it was something they decided along with the agency, so I am not one of those people who is trying to paint kq as the bad guys) but besides all the logical reasons, I have to admit it is simply just frustrating.
It's not even much for the concerts because we still got some moments, though compared to last eu tour we had crumbs on this one lol. For me, it is more about them always having to tone down everything they do while being super affectionate without limits with every other member. Idk it just... hurts? A lot... I mean, even matz really don't interact much during concerts yet they did a live together and talked freely about their trip + we have a whole hour of footages of that, and it just kills me inside that I cannot even begin to hope to get something like this about woosan because, realistically speaking, we will never get it, and I can't even merely HOPE about it because for how things are now, it sounds so unrealistic. And it's getting even worse? Like, we can't even get woosanhwa lives anymore. Not even if the three of them have a date we can know about it, let alone get photos of them. Or like another anon said, yunsang did not interact during concerts but they are free to post their dates on ig, yungi are all over the stages hugging and doing the cutest things together, etc etc. This literally applies to every pairing except woosan.
I don't even wish to see them doing crazy things like they did back in 2020 because they grew up and have to be more conscious about their actions now, but come on, we can't deny that something has changed for the worse and if a lot of people is noticing it, it means we can't completely blame woosaners for being overdramatic. I don't even want to sound so negative but damn it makes me so fucking sad to never get anything about my fav duo if not crumbs and stolen glances. Woosan are the two who introduced me to ateez and they're so dear to my heart, and while I know they're fine and love each other, it really pains me to have to go through this sort of censorship.
yeah i agree with everything that you said. again, nothing will make me doubt woosan or their bond, but it does kind of hurt not seeing them interact as before. for a government ship, getting crumbs and furtive glances for the most part is :/ i wish we could at least go back to bouncy era? i think that was the last era woosan was pushed. or at least when we got consistent interactions. but idk. im trying to cope by writing fic, but even that is a bit hard when there's no new content, or when there's not much interest in my current project. ugh, i dont know, im trying to remain positive and i wish maybe we'll get a bunch of moments with the comeback, but... i do feel a bit hopeless. cause in terms of woosan interactions, it's just been getting worse and worse. and i totally get that they dont need to interact just because they have to/because we want to! but just like you said, seeing the most affectionate members be affectionate in public with all the other members except each other is... yeah :( i also doubt we will ever get a woosan only vlog like matz got. idk, now i might sound like a doomer as well. the lack of content is kinda bringing me down too.
