My opinions on the whole Jin is leaving KAT-TUN thing in case someone runs across my profile and feel like reading it...
Basically, I was surprised how sad hearing that made me. I didn't cry. In fact I ended up laughing because of some of the shit that went down between fans with different opinions. In the end though I was upset which was surprising because I have never been the world biggest Jin fan. I think he steals the spotlight and has an attitude problem... though he is pretty damn talented. He started growing on me a few weeks before we got this news so I was sad.
Overall I think things could be good this way. Jin, as I said, is very talented and its good that he is trying to pursue his dream. I honestly hope the best for him. I think it would be pretty awesome if he made it big in the US, where I live. Then when people asked if I knew the newest artist I could be like heck yes! I know him, and I can pronounce his last name can you?! He's going to have to work his butt off and be clever about breaking into our music industry but he has more talent than some artists so I say, go Jin. As far as KaT-TUN I think they can still kick butt. It'll take some getting used to but they are also talented and very dedicated to the group. They have at least one fan that supports them with all her might as five so they can do it!
I guess what I'm trying to say is they are people, things amongst them will change with time, its only natural. If they can pull through the next few months of re-adjustment I have total faith in their ability to keep kicking butt. I'm just gonna keep the faith and watch as they make it world wide ~.^
I think the situation was handled rather poorly though. I mean horrible timing. Who thought it was a good idea to announce this right before the start of their world tour, talk about raining on the parade. That and the whole no press conference so we are all very confused just made things all the more explosive. Silly Johnny, tricks are for kids... planning is for adults and massive entertainment agency bosses *nod,nod*!
But in the end I say KAT-TUN keep Going! No matter where your paths lead, you will succeed. That rhymed...
