A bunch whole of nothing. I really hope they say something as a team eventually but I doubt it. Men are never really bothered to say something denouncing misogyny or violence against women, not even when one of their past members is involved in it and affects their own group.

I can't believe in the past, what, 15 years? the only men to go "Psch fuck this man and his deplorable actions" about another entertainer without embellishment or plausible deniability have been Mir and Hongki. We're three gens overdue for another guy to come out and do the absolute bare minimum (which would come with the insanely high gain of getting the attention and approval of every single woman still out there suffering stanning male idols) and still it has been nothing but crickets. The day a girl group member finally snaps and starts bursting out the arsenic in the backstage cafeteria (Inkigayo sandwich upgrade!) is getting closer.

Mir as in Mblaq? I missed something who did he call out?

[nekobot]

Yes, Mir from MBLAQ!

After Jang Ja-yeon committed suicide and left that letter behind he posted about it which shouldn't be a big deal, but from what I remember he was the only man that spoke up (and only 19 when he did at that).

THIS. And I also missed this Mir thing.

Yeahhh he kinda denounced nothing so it almost seems like he's defending Taeil since he's been one of the members working hard alongside him the whole time, which is kinda the only thing he talked about. I don't understand why he's going on and on about the members, and saying that because of them he'll keep working hard...but not because of NCTzens? He quickly passed over one throwaway "sorry" at the end. I thought it could've been a little nod at Taeil because his line that he would always say in English was, "We're always thankful and we love you." But that's a common thing to say so who knows, plus this message was translated from Korean, etc etc.
This whole thing basically just sounds like, "Yeah anyway we work hard though so don't stop being our fans." Like...that's not really what this is about? Way to make it about yourself. It's an understandable worry for them because of course this is something that could make them lose fans and/or ruin their name but...idk. It's already happened, so to keep fans he should...actually say

Idk if it’s that weird when most men support other men no matter what so im not really surprised

I dont think this is talking about taeil at all. It's dream's [and i suppose 127s] 8 year anniversary, so he's in his feels. People will likely try to dissect anything any member posts for quite a while after this. They will likey never speak of him again postiviely or negatively
