I want to keep this piece of writing with me even if something happens to my computer and everything is lost. It's very boring, hahaha
I wrote it as a response to the question: Why do you love Mimi?
Why I Love Zhou Mi
It all started when they announced Super Junior China as a new sub group for Super Junior. At the time, I was still a fan of DBSK and did not know much about Super Junior. This Super Junior China I had heard of, was met with so much displeasure from many people, especially towards two specific members that were going to be added to this subgroup that were not originally in Super Junior.
I happened to notice that these two people, known to us as Henry and Zhou Mi were being hated and outright not given a chance for wanting to follow their dreams and not giving up in the midst of all the hatred. For doing something that many others would have given up immediately after. I also noticed that one member, Zhou Mi, was especially getting more hatred and ignorance, since no one really knew anything about him at the time he was introduced. Henry was more well known for the fact that he was a guest in the song Don’t don and had few fan girls already. Zhou Mi had basically no fans at his side. I felt sorry for the poor member that wasn‘t getting any love from any one. I wanted to let him know that not everyone hates him, that not everyone wants him gone, not everyone feels disgusted to have him in that sub-unit. So I decided that I will be a supporter of this Zhou Mi guy.
I decided to follow this Super Junior China, but still remain a fan of DBSK. Closer to their debut, the name changed to Super Junior Mandarin, for reasons we all know. The reactions at the time before their debut were worse and I started to pay more attention to this group. I saw pictures of Super Junior Mandarin that had the two members either blurred out or completely edited out. I also saw the new word people were using on their signatures MOUTH, Mi and Henry out. I felt that Henry and Zhou Mi who knew that this was going on, deserved my respect. Then their CD “Me” came out, I heard that many people were going to "boycott" their CD because of two people who "shouldn't belong". I also saw that people were editing their songs to not hear to people that deserved for their voices to be heard. Their talents personally bring something to those songs that no one can edit out, that no one can hide. I started to see interviews that featured all of them. One of the very first interviews I saw the Sohu interview.
At that current point all they had was respect from me for being able to stand with all that adversity. As I started watching it, there was this one particular question that they asked, “What part of you will make the fans like you?” He stumbled trying to think of an answer and was about to say no he didn‘t have anything that would and tears started coming out of his eyes. when he started to cry, I felt like honestly crying. Here is a grown man that was asked a simple question and he could have said anything but he couldn‘t say anything. I felt that his tears hurt me deep inside and I wanted to go to China at that moment to tell him to not cry, he will always have me. Although he said he was happy, he was obviously not. That was not the face of someone that was happy. Later on in the interview he said, he was scared of fans. He was scared of young girls that can really do nothing to him. He could very easily have said I don’t care about those fans, but obviously it’s not true. That was the point that I stopped feeling sorry for him and I fell very hard for him. I stopped being so interested in DBSK and started to look at Super Junior and all the members of that wonderful group. I still mostly looked at Super Junior M though.
I started to watch more videos of this group and every time the first person my eyes would go to is Zhou Mi. I would listen intently when I saw him talking although I don't understand a word he said. I noticed his interaction with the rest of the members and my love grew. I saw the small things he did, The smiles he gave when he was waving to a fan. Just everything he does. I have so much respect for him for remaining strong on the outside when he sees people that hate him, though on the inside he really is hurting. He still gives that brilliant smile as usual. He isn’t perfect, he is not just an idol to me, he is a Human that deserves everything I give him. He made me look at myself and my current life and that I shouldn’t give up for those small things. There are so many reasons I love him what I wrote here still doesn't explain fully why I love him, but at least it gives you a clue as to why I love him.
If you actually read this, then hahaha. I know, I know I take my love too far, but to me it is perfectly fine. I love loving him, hahha
