[theqoo] SENDING IDOLS FUNERAL WREATHS TO MAKE THEM WITHDRAW IS HONESTLY CREEPY

Paraphrased: 
The idea that consumers can demand their rights just because they spend money is genuinely frightening. The mindset that spending money gives someone the right to treat others poorly is concerning. While it's completely valid for individuals to boycott and protest if they want to withdraw support, sending hundreds of condolence flower arrangements to a single person crosses a serious line. Plus, using condolence flowers, typically a symbol of mourning, is seriously misusing the purpose of the wreaths. 

Paraphrased: 

Sending funeral wreaths arrangements with someone’s name on them is indeed bizarre; it’s not like the person committed a crime severe enough to warrant that (though in the idol world, it’s considered a serious offense). The protesters feel they need to resort to such strange actions to get any response from the company, and everyone seems to "understand" their action. However, the primary wrongdoing lies with the company's actions, and responding with these bizarre protest methods shouldn't be justified. Claiming that "everyone does it, so it’s fine" just seems like a way to rationalize an unreasonable approach.

Paraphrased: 

Is sending funeral wreaths the new necessary now? Idols rights were already hanging by a thread and this event destroyed their dignity. They should be mourning their labor rights, privacy, work ethics instead. This will rub off on K-pop's future, btu are these values even alive today? People think that sending funeral wreaths is a valid form of protest, but they symbolize mourning the dead. 

Paraphrased: 

I'd rather them send trucks at this point. Funeral wreaths are f*cking pretty and weird, and holding a fundraising for it in front of the company? The ajummas were all looking and wondering what was happening, turns out it's just to withdraw someone who is still alive. 

Paraphrased: 
Sending condolence flowers isn’t new; it’s happened in sports and even some idols have received them in the past. I think it's reasonable for people to protest and send a few dozen flowers if they feel strongly about something. However, boasting about sending thousands and feeling proud of "winning" is really off-putting. It raises concerns about glorifying a negative culture, especially since it could lead to more issues for other idols in the future and become a normalized form of protest for trivial matters.

original post: here

1. So we can just send congratulatory wreaths and it won't be weird anymore?

2. The real weird ones are Center 5. What were the fans supposed to do anyways?

3. The real creepy thing here is the company embracing a problematic idol

4. Do you think the company will do anything if we had a "pretty protest"?... It's better to be "bizarre" than acting like fools. This is only considered weird because female fans are the ones doing it 

5. So you want us to throw eggs at him? This is so annoying, are we supposed to be dictated on the way we spend money too? Fans are pitiful 

6. Yeah, nah. They're trying to shove that member down our throat, the fact that this company is announcing his return in November is even weirder

7. It's indeed weird. If you don't like him, why not just quit the fandom?

8. Who cares? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. If SM was good at doing their work, there wouldn't be a need to resort to things like that 

10. How can they expect us to hold a beautiful protest? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. People shouldn't put others' names on it... 

12. So when women do it, they get bashed, but when it's a football protest with men, nobody says a thing ㅋㅋ

13. What is even creepier, is acting like that when the 6 of them are promoting

"They're bullsh*tting with "RIIZE is 7" the moment RIIZE appeared on Music Bank"

14. It's indeed weird, but this is the only way to make the company hear us out, so what are we supposed to do?

15. So what are we supposed to do? Set the house in fire? ㅎㅎ

16. What's weird...? We just found the best way possible to get heard

17. I do think it's bizarre... 

18. Seriously you'd think that the idol industry is the only one doing this when the baseball industry has been doing this too 

19. The fact is that it's indeed creepy. Let's acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged

20. And who is going to hear us if we're just sticking post-its? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You call everything creepy
