Explaining the 2Z situation and why it should not be associated with the current group- A Thread
I would first like to say this is not an apologist thread and I will not be excusing the actions of Hyunwoong in anyway, and if you are a From A that does: fuck you.
First I will explain who 2Z are and the situation I am referring to for anyone who is unaware.
2Z is a rock band under Morph MGMT and GOGO2020. They debuted earlier this year in January. "From A" is the name given to 2Z& #39;s fandom.

At the time of this incident the members were Hyunwoong, Bumjun (leader), Hojin, Jiseob, and Junghyun.
Following this incident, Hyunwoong took a permanent leave from the group and is no longer a part of 2Z.
Later 2Z announced their new member Zunon as a replacement.

2Z first gained attention after expressing their support for BLM.
Now I will explain the situation with 2Z& #39;s former member, Hyunwoong.

extremely insensitive, but disgusting and disrespectful to Mr. Floyd and his family.
An important fact to mention, and this will explain why the situation should not be associated with the rest of 2Z, is that Hyunwoong did not dorm with the boys. He wasn& #39;t even a permanent+

member and he was only signed for their debut. I mention this to point out the fact that Hyunwoong worked on this song completely on his own. He wrote & produced it at the studio in his home and posted the song on his personal instagram which he took down. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/k-pop-rock-rookies-2z-interview/amp?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.teenvogue.com/story/k-p...
He realized his mistake and apologize on his insta story and the company issued an apology on their twitter account. He also mentioned himself how he doesn& #39;t want his actions associated w/ 2Z. Don& #39;t know why he mentioned hiphop and basketball but ok lol.....anyway
Following the incident, Hyunwoong left the group and is now pursuing other projects.
As a black From A, I was no longer going to support 2Z unless he left the group. Hyunwoong apologists need to realize the extremity of this situation and how hurtful it was for us. Stop tearing down black From A and being anti-black defending someone who crossed a line.
I did not make this thread to get you guys to stan 2Z, I simply wanted to clear up the misconception that all of 2Z were involved when it was only one member and I do not want this to hurt 2Z& #39;s image for the rest of their career.
And if you do want to restan after reading this then that& #39;s great! The current members are so awesome and talented and I would be more than happy to answer any questions you guys have. Thank you!
