hyperballad and I talked about this for a couple of hours last night, so I've already had the chance to organize my thoughts a bit, but... the tohoshinki news is still on my mind
( Read more... )
I don't want to point fingers (especially not in this fandom, anymore), but I really think that the fans who absolutely insisted on Suju staying together as one group and not be rotated stifled them. When they were being considered for rotation, it was really the perfect timing for some of the members to get spun out on their own - when Suju was seen as the Next Big Thing and before everything negative happened. Now, I think they've sort of been cossetted with each other too long, both in public opinion as well as amongst themselves, so it's hard to do something new.
But overall, I think I'm more optimistic about their individual success in the industry than you. I think some of the dark horses of the group will surprise us with their longevity (read: stubbornness, lol).
On the other hand, it might be better for some of them to just fade out and go do their own thing, live their own lives. Beyond just a "they had their 15 minutes of fame" sort of thing, they have achieved a lot, and this period of their lives is something huge that they can chalk up to experience and really take something amazing away with ... though of course it depends on their attitudes and if they'll really be able to do it. (I'm worried that we'll have more Moon Heejun cucumber situations or Lee Jaejin army situations T_T)
