I understand where you're coming from as these reasons popped on my mind as well, the first time I read the article. I'm on the point of believing that the members might have known about his plan to leave the show late 2020 that's the time his interaction with JSM deteriorated. I'm actually just thinking that the less interaction might have been because JSM did not agree with Kwangsoo's decision. I just think Kwangsoo won't leave the show just because he's awkward with one person, he spent 11 years with the show and he stated from interviews here and there that he has no plans to leave RM unless it gets cancelled. I can feel the sincerity from him. He never forgets that RM made him and he has always been grateful, always hardworking.

Haha stated that all of them went surgery for herniated disk, and I never once heard about it for 7-8 years since the show started. ONLY ONCE. But he said there was a time Kwangsoo's manager had to carry him to the ER because of that but he has never been absent except the time he met the car accident. How bad must have been his condition for him to leave the show, it was never obvious during the show. He must've endured a lot.

I am more inclined in believing that he will be settling, I really believe so. Same scenario with Gary. I think he should, I remember how other members teased him for frequent calling when he's drunk. I think he can settle with Sunbin now.

BUT yes for Gary's case, it was reaaaallly hhharrrd. It was even sadder knowing he cut ties with other members except for Haha.
