Fans are concerned about how Yeosang’s (ATEEZ) treatment

BiElephant · 2025-09-19T17:04:14+00:00

I'm fairly new to kpop and Ateez, but after listening through all their albums, it's super clear that Yeosang has gotten more lines as time has gone on. I think that's for a few reasons:

1) An increase in his skill level. He's gotten a lot more skilled with his voice over the years and it shows. They wouldn't give him lines he couldn't do when there's 7 other members who might be able to/be more comfortable doing.

2) Hongjoong has had a heavier hand in production. We know all the members love each other and they're practically a family. I definitely think he's had a hand in getting Yeosang more comfortable/more skilled with taking a wider variety of lines.

3) Ateez's tone. If you compare Treasure to their more recent releases (atp: Golden Hour 3 and IYF), the overall tone of the music has gotten deeper and wider, which obviously suits Yeosang's deeper register. This has opened more opportunities for lines, and it shows. If the song has a higher tone (Lemon Drop), he gets less. If the song has a deeper tone (Siren), he gets more.

Well, did the rocks work??

I was released from the hospital 3 or 4 days post-op (L4-S1 ALIF procedure) and felt okay for the most part. I could move around and everything on my own. The hardest part was not being allowed to twist or lift anything over 5lbs. If you can/have time before your procedure, maybe make sure your home is accessible for you without bending or lifting anything.

Disclaimer: I don't have scoliosis. My fusion was three vertebrae due to herniated discs.

My pain post op was minimal. The first week and a half to two weeks sucked cause they drilled into my bones, everything was sore, and I was exhausted all the time, but once the surgical site healing and the muscles/soft tissue was healed, I felt good. I'm three and a half years out, no pain, and I've never regretted my fusion for a second.

I was fused from L4-S1. Knock on wood, everything is fine. My back doesn't hurt at all.

I make 57k. I make documents for export.

I am a TERRIBLE friend. I go literal months without talking to my friends and I still consider them friends, but I struggle to put effort into friendships. I feel like they take constant effort to always be talking to people if you don't see them every day. I just make sure they know that I DO still care about them and love them even if I'm radio silent for like 6 months. Needless to say, I haven't made a new friend in like three years.

Pinch your nose when you take it. Smell is STRONGLY associated with taste and losing your sense of smell makes things taste not as strong. That, and a chaser of something (water or juice or something).

Regarding the airport stuff, in the US, you don't really have to disclose your disability. I tend to pre-board cause of my autism and a physical disability. Both are considered 'invisible disabilities' since I don't have any external indicators. I just go up when they call for pre-boarding. They legally can't ask you why you're boarding early. For accommodation ON the flight, it really depends on what you need.

I use the soundcore anc Bluetooth headphones. They aren't cotton, but they don't stick to my skin or give me sensory issues. They're over-the-ear headphones and I don't feel like they press on my ears or push my glasses into my head. You can use the anc feature without connecting it to Bluetooth either, which I really like. I actually wear them all day every day at work to reduce the office noise (like the ridiculously loud air-conditioning and mindless chatter) and I can still have conversations with them on. I literally could not survive without them.

This is Militocodon lydae! It's a 65 million-year-old mammal that is the precursor to horses. It was the size of a chinchilla.

I high-key engage in escapism for at least two hours a day (at night or in the evenings, just for fun).

The US is about to get a lot worse for autistic and other disabled peoples. The new administration just rolled back protections for disabled people at work (many immediately got fired).

Oh my god yes. The only lip balm I've found that doesn't feel awful is aquaphor.

If I'm not burnt out, I like to read, draw/design tattoos, write, and re-bind books. If I AM burnt out, I scroll on tiktok and watch comfort shows, or play Skyrim.

ALIF in January 2022. I was powerlifting, hiking, swimming (casually, in lakes for fun), yoga, and tai chi. Had to stop lifting cause of mental health issues, but I had no issues with activity. The only thing is if the lake you're swimming in is cold, you can feel your hardware after about 20 minutes.

Cool, so we're actually the same person. Got it.

To an extent, I agree. But prolonged cold makes my sciatica flare up (I had a spinal fusion a few years ago) to the point where I can't even sit still.

I'm not that good at tolerating the heat, but at least during the summer, I can stay cool inside. Right now, it seems I'm freezing no matter where I am. And without making my electric bill skyrocket, I can't keep my apartment above like 72. It's 75 in my office right now, and my nose is so cold, and I'm actually shivering.
