I know that everyone is entitled on their own opinion.

So, I also want to give my opinion on this matter.

As a Moo and as a fan of ILA. https://twitter.com/hadju16/status/1293765960185393153
First thing.
Yes, He is a webtoon artist and as mentioned in the thread, he writes fictitious stories. Hope you understand what fiction is.

If you find Kian's webtoon problematic, then don't read it.
2nd:

People are concerned because he used ILA member's names. And if things go wrong, their names will also get dragged.

Wrong. He asked permission to the member's if he can use their names.
They even talked about it on the show. The member's are even thankful to be part.
3rd:
MMM Hwsa's name is used in the webtoon.

During the same episode of the show, Hwsa suggested herself that she also wants to be on one of Kian's webtoon.
4th:
What people find very troubling is that the character that Kian used Hwsa's name is being labelled as a "golddigger" etc.

A misunderstanding. I havent read any of Kian's webtoon, but as a webtoon reader I do not actually care what the characters name are.
++ to think of this, why should people compare the real personalities of ILA members to the characters of Kian's webtoon? That is why it is mentioned that it is fictional. He just borrowed the names tho.
-DISCLAIMER-
I am not an avid fan of Kian the webtoon artist. I never read any of his works.

I am making this thread because I am a huge fan of ILA. And it is a big issue for us and the show members whenever there are risks of having members leaving the show. We dont want that.
Think of it this way:

There are a lot of Kcitizens that are named narae,sunghoon,si eon, etc.

Do not associate the names used in the webtoon to the celebrities that has the same names.

It just sound so bad because the artist and names associated actually knew each other.
View this as a reader. The names actually doesnt matter. You are hooked in a story because it has a good plot. The names are just used as distinction.

People who created this issue are the problematic ones.
Just consider that the characters in the webtoon is a different person. They are not the celebrities that has the same name as them.
I might find this very worrying if Kian used their names and even wrote about their lives also. But that is not what happened here.

He just borrowed the names. And names are not entitled to one person only. Many people have the same names.
As a Moo, let us not become like the toxic stan twitter. Let us view this issue with an open mind. Let us check other point of views.

Let us not judge a person directly. We know already how that hurts.
Reflect on ourselves.
