#and some of our most charismatic members are all 😐

wouldn’t be able to say this on twt bc i’d get grilled but it’s been on my mind a tad too much. it feels like half of them are there enjoying the promos and half of them are not in it completely- and they’re all tired. idk what’s going on behind the scenes, whether they had some extra exhausting days leading up to the comeback and release, maybe they’ve got an unusually exhausting schedule right now, but whatever it is, i hope they feel better soon and are able to enjoy the promotions, i hope they gained some strength from the mini fanmeet, and that they get to approach this with confidence. when the tannies got super successful like this, they also suffered a bit from the pressure - and i realised that, even though it’s been organic and steady growth and their dream to make it big, it’s not all that fun and games. i don’t want them to feel the way tannies did to the point of considering discontinuation of activities due to mental and physical exhaustion. i don’t want to act like i know it all because i don’t, but i also am realistic and really really hope that their label steps up and ensures they have mental health support during what seems to be one of the biggest milestones of their careers so far. everyone online is celebrating the records we’ve broken, enjoying the album and all the content, but how is no one noticing how visibly down some of the members are? all it takes is watching fancams. last year when that one fancam was released where one of them was unhappy with his outfit revealing too much, everyone was so quick to catch how upset and angry he was. why is no one talking about half of the group not smiling even once during what seems to be a fun song? i imagine they worked very hard on this one and want everything to turn out perfectly but again i hope we get to see them enjoy all of their recent achievements and how banging the title track is because they bloody deserve it
