Just thought I'd post this to prevent flame wars -.-

Being involved in K-Pop so much more exhausting than being in the C-Pop fandom. In C-Pop, things are so much more peaceful, antis are rare, and overall, the whole fandom is in serenity.

K-Pop, on the other hand, is filled with drama and scandals. Even so, I do not regret becoming an ELF, because Suju has taught me so many things. They've taught me how everyone starts small (when they'd debuted as Suju 05 they weren't even given a dressing room), taught me how never to give up without a fight, taught me how to look out for every single person in your family, no matter how often they show up at family gatherings and events.

When 2009 was coming to a close, I was so glad that Suju was not involved in any problems regarding their contract, because after I'd seen the Cassies talking about the DBSK issue, I knew that if Suju were ever to disband, I would be just as heartbroken.

Then came the day when Geng filed for termination of his contract. Seriously, at first I'd thought that it was just a publicity stunt for Idk, 4jib or something (yes I know, bash me for being such a mean fan -.-). Then the scan of the official document came in and all the other BS started flowing in and reality hit me:

Hangeng is going to leave Super Junior.

If getting Geng to stay meant him working so hard until one day he just completely collapsed, I'd rather he leave Super Junior. It's ridiculous how some ELFs are screaming "COME BACK GENG". I know seeing all 13(+2) of them on stage is every ELF's dream, but...I really want all of them to be happy.

Being a fan doesn't mean you buy all their merchandise, stalk their websites and memorize all of their biodata. It means you love their music, you love their personalities, and you just love them as a whole.

You don't have to stalk them every time they come to Singapore; just pray that they'll be safe and not get injured if the fans mob them.

As an ELF, all I want is that everyone to be happy, that's it.

If Teuk prefers television hosting rather than being the umma of Super Junior, that's fine with me.

If Kibum prefers acting over singing, that's fine with me too, because that's what he wants to do.

If Geng wants to end his career of being a member of Suju, I'd tell him "just go for it".

In simple terms: even if you are a fan, you have no right to tell your idols what to do.

You have no right to tell them "you can't date that girl, she's a slut." Neither do you have the right to tell them they aren't allowed to leave their company.

Geng has his own rights to do whatever he wants. He's a 26-year-old man, for goodness' sake. I'm pretty sure he's allowed to make his own decisions. That being said, I know Geng wouldn't bear to hurt any of the other guys, and he would've discussed the matter with them before bringing forth his decision into action.

I admit that I'm in no position to judge anyone, but my intuition tells me that Geng wouldn't leave Super Junior if he had been given better treatment. This may or may not be true; but then again, this is my blog, so I'm free to express my opinions and views.

Even if you call him 'acquisitive' or 'greedy' or any other word you can find in the thesaurus, fine. But if you call him that, then I think you have no right to call yourself an ELF.
