Men really never learn from other men's mistakes.

Literally fucking around and finding out.

Apparently they're letting him go on because they couldn't find a replacement in time but making him play out of sight behind the stage! I really hope it's true, there's something so extremely humiliating about that scenario and it's exactly what he deserves.

thats so fucking funny lmfaooooooooo

i'm just trying to understand her motivation in leaking the recording because she said she relinquished the custody. so, i guess she has no problem with the kids not living with her primarily, but the hurtful comment calling her a neglectful mother was the reason she leaked the recording? which i mean, fair.

[nekobot]

From what I understand she didn't relinquish custody because she didn't mind the kids not living with her or thought he would be a better parent, but since he had better finances and more resources than her he would have 100% gotten custody if he had decided to take it to court, so she probably figured that it's best to avoid creating an antagonistic situation where he would still end up with the kids but they wouldn't use them as pawns against her or make other things needlessly difficult - I wouldn't be surprised if his mom also played a part in this. There's a general idea that mothers will almost always be the ones to get custody over fathers to bolster the parental alienation myth but that's because most fathers never even bother to appeal, they don't want the kids fulltime anyway. It could be that she just put up with the criticism with the idea that it's all fine as long as the kids don't suffer under it but him being exposed as a john directly affects them too (even though it shouldn't).

that's honestly so sad.

[nekobot]

It really is, and one of the many reasons "staying together for the kids" is still going strong and maybe not as black and white as people think. Adults are already more than capable at making a mess of things but it's even more appalling how inept the system still is at actually putting childrens' safety and wellbeing first and protecting people from potential abuse.

And Hongki is already defending him *eye roll*

Just throw the whole group away at this point...

[pseudo_shigure]

interesting. i think hongki was quick to separate the band from that member who was involved with burning sun, so i thought he's decent at least.

[happypurinsu]

Eh, Hongki himself ain't shit - a big reason he distanced himself so strongly from Jonghoon and Burning Sun is that he was about to get dragged into it as well, due to how close he is/was with several key members. It was self-preservation, basically.
