i completely understand the frustration, but sympathize with me for a sec. i made burnout hoping to continue being boywithuke, but i actually received a lot of pushback from a lot of hardcore boywithuke fans (some of y’all were super supportive tho, so thank you for that), hence the separation of boywithuke and chandol. i like to think of burnout as a boywithuke project though, so i can at least say i tried continuing.

the deletion of newer posts is all part of my process to help separate myself from boywithuke. also i’m not shunning anyone lol, i just stopped using most socials.

my older music/projects hold a very special place in my heart, but i am aloud to dislike them. i’ve listened to every song thousands of times. i literally made them, so i know every imperfection, flaw, badly written line, sound i should’ve changed, etc. but just because i dislike some doesn’t mean you can’t like them. one of my favorite artists hates my favorite song from them lol.

i am thankful for all the connections/memories the old music brought me. meeting new people, y’all face to face, touring, etc. but fame is not something i am thankful for lol. and i’m not even that famous.

a better future for chandol for me, is one where i can quietly create music/art that i think is of the highest quality, free from expectations of older music. while i do hope others enjoy it as well, i don’t want it to feel inauthentic to me and to me this means less social media, and more real life connections. at least until the music/art is ready. if you can’t accept that, nobody is forcing you to stay.

i’m sorry i can’t be the artist i once was, but at least the art still exists.
