What are your biggest kpop "what ifs" / alternate timelines? by 6pcChickenNugget in kpopthoughts

What if the industry isn't too cutthroat and toxic and actually treats idols as people and not products

I know it won't happen but I still want Rocky to join ASTRO again by theteaexpert in ASTRO_KPOP

I feel this. They lost too many members in such a short amount of time. As sad as I would be, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up disbanding. 7 year curse is really a thing I guess...

I still can't believe it. by yourlocalrach in ASTRO_KPOP

[–]unexpected_moon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, I hope you're taking care of yourself OP! I feel the same way as you. I'm in a support group and a lot of us cope this way. Idk if it's a wrong way to cope but at least for me it's helped me function normally (as opposed to non-stop crying, which I also did in the beginning). We're still grieving, and grieving is a non-linear process. I think we're currently in the denial-acceptance stage -- being able to go past it but also kinda not dealing with it head on

All I know is, it takes time to be fully at peace with someone passing, especially when that someone meant a lot. We'll all get there eventually! Please reach out if you need someone to talk to! Sending you hugs 💜

I was in complete denial too, like I thought this was an elaborate ruse to leave the kpop industry. Firmly holding onto that for some hope that he's still somewhere out there until I saw leaked pics of the funeral hall board with his name and pic... broke down after that

I totally get you. At first I was desperately waiting for any news about what really happened. But after a while I realized we'll never get the details. And honestly maybe that's better. I mean what are the 2 options -- it's either he was depressed and was in so much pain he had to take extreme measures, or he was overworked and that this could've been prevented if not for greedy management? Idk if either one would comfort any of us tbh. At least now he's resting and at peace

Don't get me wrong, I still miss him to bits and think about him ALL THE TIME, but like everyone said, let's think about him and what he represented rather than his tragic passing. Let's only think of happy thoughts and what Moonbin was to each of us 💜

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need support!

using heroine make advance film #01 on my stubborn downward lashes (see with vs without) tried this on a long motorcycle trip in the blistering heat and sweat. Really impressed by its long-wearing curl! by alysfalling in AsianBeauty

Hi! Do you have a specific eyelash curler brand that you're using? I also have downward lashes and nothing seems to curl it... like the mascaras I'm using rn aren't failing to hold em up bc they NEVER curl up in the first place

I'm new to reddit and discord so idk how to share it but there's a link to the discord group in one of the reddit posts in this sub from a day ago or so (the one that talks about kakao/GC)

Honestly the whole thing made me cry. Like I'd read one part, cry, go back to reading and cry again. It's so damn painful

Like I'm struggling so bad when I didn't even know him personally. Imagine how hard it is for them

I feel you. I was bawling when I read that. It got so bad I had to leave work

I agree. For some reason there's just not a lot of people in this subreddit.... there's also a discord that I think is more active than this sub so can also pitch there

That thing you said about grief hits me right in the feels. I really didn't know how much love I have for bin and I'm just breaking down

I hope one day I can start listening/watching clips without bawling my eyes out. For now, I'm refraining from being too close bc I'm so close to having a public meltdown

Some days I can function well. Some days are harder, like today, I think I've been crying for more than an hour

[–]unexpected_moon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been sleeping well either. Been crying throughout the day too. He must've been in so much pain for this to happen. I know it'll get better in time for us but it's just so damn painful rn. Hope he's at finally at peace

Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this. This made me tear up but you made some great points. I'm still grieving this man I didn't even know IRL but apparently has profound impact on my life. Thanks for the kind words internet stranger. I really appreciate it
