Grasping at straws
After yesterdays new's about Jin, I thought fans would see the benefits of the new KT arrangement once they'd calmed down and be more positive and accepting about it. But no. When it comes to Jin, the foremost action of KT fans is to defend. Defending a member you love is a-ok. But forcibly denying what's happening... not-so-much-ok.
Yes, we all know that Jin has said that he has no desire to leave KT and that he will return. Before he left for LA, that is.
We also know that once he returned from his tour, his answer changed to I like doing solo work more then KT work and I don't know what will happen in the future.
Don't deny the change people.
If you don't believe the newspapers, tv reports, KT's tears or Johnny-san's words, at least put your own wants aside and see what Jin wants. What he's been wanting ever since he was chibi!JIn.
What I find weird is that most fans who are in denial about this trust Jin to be the most-honest-person-ever, which, hey, I have no problem with (though I disagree). But I'm really confused. If you trust what Jin says, then trust his actions too, because actions do really speak louder than words.
And by his actions, I mean his behaviour when he's doing KT activities vs his solo activities. You have to be blind or wading really, really deep in the denial pool to not see the difference.
Here is Jin during the promotion of 'Love Yourself.' Notice his blank face. Notice how people notice his blank face and how that affects the rest of KT. Do not make excuses like 'he's just shy around new ppl/the camera' because that. That isn't even an excuse. It's just what you want to believe. Jin's been the co-frontman of KT for how long now? Do you honestly believe that he could pull that off while being camera shy?? Just because he's not good at MC-ing doesn't make him shy.
Don't believe me, here's proof. Notice the expressions, the smile, the funny dance at the end. This is Jin doing solo work. This is Jin happy. This is also Jin in LA, a foreign land when compared to Japan and a foreign interviewer. And Jin is not shy. Why? Because he's not the shy type. A shy person whould not want to leave a group to go solo and embrace the centre of the spolight. It's obvious that Jin is thriving now that he's gotten the chance to follow his dreams. How can anyone deny that??
If Jin did return to KT like you all want him to, do you think he'd act any differently then he has been these past few years? Especially now that he's felt the thrill of holding his own solo con?? And do you think the rest of KT deserves that? To accept a member back into the group after he's already abandoned them twice, both at pivotol times in their career? To act as a safety net for someone who is half-hearted in all their activities and would rather be elsewhere??
And as for Jin, why don't you want him to live out his dream?? Because by asking him to remain with KT, that's what your doing. How can he have the freedom to give his all in his desired future if he's constantly running back to support KT?? If you don't want him going solo because you're worried that he'll fail, then you really don't have any respect for the rest of the members. KT should not be his back-up. KT should be his dream. But it's not, so deal with it. It's not like Jin hasn't made it obvious.
So yeah, I'm getting really annoyed by fans being selfish in the name of supporting KT. If you support them, don't deny what's clearly happening. Accept it and move on!!! Both KT and Jin are happy with this arrangement, so be happy that they're happy!!

haven't thought of this argument before, but you're so right.

And do you think the rest of KT deserves that? To accept a member back into the group after he's already abandoned them twice, both at pivotol times in their career?
it's pretty obvious that he wouldn't act differently. but what bothers me the most is that these fans won't understand, no matter how much anyone tells them that KTTUN don't deserve to be treated that way, and that they want 6nin KT cause otherwise there's no KT, but in fact, 5nin KT is more of a band than 6nin is, with the way they seem so united, motivated, ambitious and happy and most of all dedicated to their fans. they want 6nin no matter what, even though it's obvious that KT isn't the same band it used to be. like you said, it's changed. they're hanging too much to the past, to some illusion of a great band, with them as 6. unfortunately, they won't understand that too soon. if they haven't after all these months, after seeing KTTUN's behavior or messages regarding their dream and direction they're heading towards, compared to Jin's, then it'll take a long time for ppl to get used to the reality.
i hope tho nothing happens at their cons, what with the yarakashi rumors and stuff. even if that rumor turns out to be false, it doesn't mean that kind of thing might not happen in the future >.>
anyway, sorry for the long comment =.= and for intruding. =.= i really liked your entry, i hope more ppl will open their eyes.

It's amazing how much they let Jin get away with. Like I tried crtiquine him once on his bahaviour and ppl jumped so quickly to defend with so many lame excuses. But then again, those excuses were provided to them by Jin with his stupid "I'm easily misunderstood." Jin, this (http://holly-berri.livejournal.com/2166.html?thread=34422#t34422) does not leave room for misunderstandings. The message is pretty clear: YOU DON"T GIVE A DAMN.
I kinda ranted back at you. Sorry. I'm just really irked, but I'm glad you liked my entry.

thx for the link, i hadn't read that entry since, well, i don't click on every KTlove post these days =.= or at least i try not to.
the entry was nice and all, but then i read the first comment which said "if you seen some interview, he said LOTS of hateful things towards KAT-TUN ex: he said he doesn't want to share same gakuya with KAT-TUN..when asked what was his best memories while in KAT-TUN, he said there weren't any. when he was asked if he's planning to stay in entertainment business for a long time-even after 10 years later- he said he doubt it and he wants to retire earliest possible." and "and at that day (yesterday) when KAT-TUN was performing a Tokyo Dome concert after the conference, what do you think Jin was doing? working hard at LA? practicing his song and dance skills?? Going back to Japan to see KAT-TUN's Dome concert secretly??? NO Jin was at South Korea, with Nishikido Ryo and others at CASINO gambling."
that was very interesting. very. o.o
good to know.
so thanks :)
