a friend of mine said that the ptg picture posted for their 6th anniversary looked like they deliberately left space for the three missing members... so i went ahead and edited them in 🥺
it's always exhausting when non fans put in their thoughts about groups they know nothing about, but nothing makes me rage like when non unis do it. it happened in 2018 (and after, even now people still talk about it saying it ruined pentagon despite the fact that in all areas other than views every single comeback since shine did way better) and it's happening now. like, if you don't know the facts about a group just don't speak. we don't want your wrong opinions, we don't want you to report back the lies you were made to believe in. we've been here longer than you have and we know what is true... so why are you speaking over us?
i know bp ended a week ago ( and thank goodness for that ) but its still mind boggling to me how some were entertaining the idea of hui debuting in another group during ptg's 7th year and a few months away from contract renewal after cube CANCELLED their november 2022 cb
as their leader signing an exclusive contract for 2.5 years prohibiting him from ever mentioning the tagons would send ptg to the shadow realm immediately
I've been loving ptg unconditionally (unhealthily too but that's a topic to discuss next time) but I'd never be this blinded to think this situation isn't a massive threat to the group's survival . I've joined the fandom right before rtk ( terrible timing i know) the hui i saw there was determined to disprove mnet's pity party editing " people around me told me if a group doesn't make it during their 3rd year they'll never make it out group is 3.5 yo but I'll prove everyone wrong " i was questioning myself where was THAT hui i fell in love with
I do believe hui was forced to join it was pretty obvious from the "exceptional" audition tape accepted on november 2022 .mnet needed him to create bad buzz around the show the same way yujin did with gp999 tho unlike clc ptg weren't dismissed so they had to create the narrative themselves. tbh I'm still confused as to how hui blurred what he did abt ptg being dead in the eyes of the industry when it was factually false ( the triplets were actively working on music wooki especially had multiple BB50 producers visit for a prod session ) i am *personally* still pissed at him for that ( i know it could be edited but that clip was over 2min long)
a segment that made me cry was during the pentatour to gapyeong where he recorded a message to the boys where he praised them for protecting ptg while he was away and promised hell do his best for the group . this makes everything he's doing even more illogical because buddy you might debut elsewhere for 2.5 years ,????
I'm not gonna hyper analyse a stranger more than what I've already done here but I'll assume he was himself totally lost within his decisions especially after leaving the industry for 21 months he must've felt totally disoriented
but i am still pissed at any ptg fan who was actively campaigning for his debut tho that was S.T.U.P.I.D
fast-forward to now the little 9 boys are all doing well and thriving in their respective programs jinho in phantom singer and yanan in π plan wooseok was featured in maymay entrata's autodeadma ( massive slay go watch it )
although the fandom is full of bp hui akgaes parasites i guess they'll at least buy a ptg album to get into a 1v1 hui fancall we'll have to either tame them or bully them into shutting the fuck up
Just a little reminder that you (probably) stan a group that makes weirdass photoshops like this for fun. Maybe it’s time to get some perspective on your life.
