i dont want to speak too much on the subject but, ive been holding this for a long time so i think it needs to be said. when woojin first left skz i was devastated. it hurt, a lot, and i refused to see skz as anything less than nine for a long time. chan’s letter from october + https://twitter.com/americhanknow/status/1247731314121297920

where he talks about being sorry for not being able to protect the number nine reinforced those feelings a bit. i continued to look for woojin at the bottom of skz threads, in fanfic and fan art, and would honestly get upset when he wasn’t included. when woojin entered +

the kkt gc i felt a bit better knowing he was okay, but i still saw him as part of skz. then he opened up his own sns and he seemed soso happy it kinda hurt. i missed seeing him w skz so much. and then on chan’s last vlive we all know what he said which was probably +

about woojin and that was really what i needed to be able to let go. its a lesson i’ve been taught a lot in life and ppl whove seen hotel del luna may know it: the will to let go has to be stronger than the will to hold on. +

keeping woojin as a part of skz was only hurting both him and skz. it wasnt fair to skz to not support them as 8 and hold onto to the 9 that were no longer there. it wasnt fair to woojin in starting his solo career bc he would always be tied down by the title “former +

skz member”. it still hurts, and im still getting used to the concept of supporting them as two different artists but i know that i, personally, need to let go of the concept of woojin as a skz member to feel at peace with supporting all of them.

a lot of this thread wasnt quite worded the way i wanted it to be but the overall message is that like OP said we need to support skz as 8 and let go of the number 9 and support woojin as kim woojin and not “former skz member”.

ofc u can disagree w me. maybe u wont support woojin or maybe u cant find it in u to support ot8 skz. but these are my thoughts and i only wanted to talk about the situation once and cover all my thoughts.
