sometimes I think shawols are protective to a fault. stop with the “it will upset Taemin!!!” as a reason to not criticize SM.
SM deserves criticism, they’ve been mishandling Taemin’s solo activities honestly since after Move. Taemin is a big boy and honestly? He probably agrees

Until Taemin himself reveals that it was HIS CHOICE to postpone the comeback this long (in which case I’ll eat my words and apologize) then yeah I’m going to blame and criticize SM! They halted Taemin’s momentum after Move and have been mishandling his solo activities since

You think they care about what he wants? Look at how they handled the MOVE-ing repackage just to get an album out quickly, forcing him to work twice as hard to put out a song he was be proud of because SM was too lazy and just wanted to quickly make money without care for quality

They make HIM put out the statements, and you all eat it up. “SEE what you did? Your complaining made Taemin have to apologize you’re so horrible!” And then SM can keep mishandling him because they know shawols will just roll over and take it. SM deserves to be criticized!

And Taemin worked very hard last year, I’d never say he didn’t. But because of SM, he lost the momentum he needed in Korea. why is it other members of SuperM can have multiple comebacks (even before COVID) but not Taemin? There’s no excuse except SM’s mismanagement.

This even happened with the fan club kit. “Don’t complain because the boys will see it and get upset” man stfu SM stomps all over shawols and stuff like that is why! Because they know we’re hesitant to complain, because they know we’ll buy it anyway. I’m gonna call them out sorry
