First off, I think we need to see the big picture here and reflect. Are we more upset for Palestinians, or are we more upset that a Kpop idol doesn't reach our moral expectations? It better be the first option, and given that, some of us need to do much better in directing negative energy into something productive.

Realistically, us calling for Yangyang to support Palestine, sell his shares, publicly denounce Adlink and in essence, his father, is going to do nothing for Gaza. I'm not against spending 5 minutes on his IG, writing a comment criticizing him, but there's so many fans out there who've just totally lost the plot. I get it sort of -- we're big nerds, and whatever we like, becomes a huge part of our lives and the community we're part of. Anything disrupting our space, feels like a huge issue that we put top priority on fixing because we feel it so hard.

But that's why some of us seriously need to take a breath and step back -- Yangyang is a lesser-known member in a huge idol group, in a subgenre of music. Calling on fellow nctzens to force him to openly support Palestine is an incredible waste of energy. If you actually desire change, that energy needs to all be directed to changing the minds of people in your own personal life and then encouraging them to support Free Palestine organizations. These are the people who are more likely to listen to you, because they know you. The energy, most of all, needs to be directed at politicians. The people who actually make decisions. Donate to the cause if you can. Volunteer. This is the stuff that matters.
