let me try to break down the ir3n3 thing logically so here we go this is my thread my opinions you are entitled to your own opinions
1. both sides (in terms of reactions) are valid and have valid point so i’m not gonna take sides. obviously she did SOMETHING wrong or else se wouldn’t have confessed and apologized. the claims about her being stressed and the outfit/earpiece stuff IS NOT...
.....impossible, HOWEVER it is unconfirmed. literally no credible source said that and now some random twitter screenshot is floating around saying that so i’m not gonna blindly follow everything i see BUT i’m not doing to disregard the possibility
2. there is a good chance that this came up out of the woodwork all of a sudden because she’s a woman: let me explain. we all know that the stereotype for women is to overreact and be “crazy” and “bitchy”...yes, something might have happened between ir3n3 and the person BUT....
there’s a good chance that (especially since it was a guy) it was blown out of proportion and the dude wanted to make it like ir3n3 is a heartless villain. reminder that this is only SPECULATION. nothing is 100% confirmed, and ir3n3 may or may not have done something that bad.
3. ir3n3 will likely not recover from this, both mentally and in terms of her image and reputation. knetizens are satan spawn that jump on everything and tear it to shreds. we’re already seeing this in real-time. all the signs are pointing to this story being true, so there’s...
...no arguing that nothing happened. the argument at hand boils down to the REASON why it happened. just the fact that something happened, doesn’t matter if international fans care or not (because i saw a lot of ppl making jokes like omg if she did that i wouldnt care or omg....
...she’s such a queen for that) none of it matters. her reputation in korea is ruined (entirely or only temporarily, we don’t know yet. i personally think it’s long-term but not too major) so there’s a good chance she won’t bounce back from this. knetizens already want her out.
4. this story is so big even e! news covered it. people KNOW about it. their event even got pulled because of it. even though they’re now supposedly “in talks” about it all the signs are pointing to either SM pulling it or the company pulling it bc they didnt want any association
5. if this “scandal” keeps up, it would LIKELY (and i am in no way advocating for it, simply looking at it from a presumed outsider perspective) be most beneficial for ir3n3 to either go on hiatus or leave the group. this is ONLY if this scandal continues. we don’t know that rn.
6. a possible scenario is that SM uses this scandal as a hopping off point to debut smngg as a cover group. we’ve seen this already. however, rv was slated to have a december comeback (and a rumored january repack)....i don’t think that’s gonna happen anymore (or at least until..
...much later, like sometime early next year). this is the BEST case scenario. imo, the most likely outcome of this (if nothing changes or is fixed) is rv finally getting the fx treatment. psycho is their last ot5 song, rvf finale is their....finale, and monster was a last hurrah
there’s a good chance that it’ll be radio silence for the next 9 months until their contracts are up in august (like fx 2016-2019) maybe a solo debut (likely seulgi) sometime mid-2021 and that’ll be it for rv. again this is SPECULATION. i’m saying this based off the reactions...
...of knetizens. they want her to leave, and if she doesn’t leave i’m pretty sure SM won’t want to invest anymore $ into them, especially if they debut smngg using this scandal. it’s already making them lose investors and their stock is dropping as we speak.
7. i’m pretty sure the girls are supporting her in some way, but i imagine that they’re at least a little pissed rn. as it stands, there’s no telling whether or not the group will be going to that event tomorrow, and if they don’t it’s completely due to the scandal.
8. likely my last and final point—the most i’m going to say about the actual incident itself is that irene obviously did something wrong (either blown out of proportion or not) but she apologized for it. big whoop. the apology wasn’t even for reveluvs or anyone anyway so....
...there’s no point in accepting it. reveluvs also need to stop babying irene because 1. if she IS in the wrong, you can’t do anything about it and you’ll just look stupid defending her. i mean this in no negative ways, it’s just facts. this once again just shows that no....
...matter how much you stan a group, NEVER EVER think that you know the person behind that face. because you don’t. don’t try to say “____ wouldn’t do that” or “that’s not the ____ i know” because you don’t know them personally. think rationally and keep a reasonable distance.
appreciate and support from afar.
i expect a few to be upset about this. i welcome it. this thread was not made out of hate but pure speculation. i EXPECT parts or the whole thread to age like milk in the coming days, weeks, & months. and that’s okay. you have your opinion and i have mine. i’m not an irene anti.
last thing. i’ve been a reveluv for over 4 years now. i’ve been with that group through the thick and thin of my teenage years. however, i got into them because of their music. the members were an added bonus. as much as i like the members i’m prepared to drop one (or all) if...
...something were to come up. i’m not gonna spend hours trying to “defend my baby” and “clear the searches” because if she did something wrong and owned up to it that’s the end of the story. i’m not gonna vehemently defend a 30 year old grown woman who lives on the other side...
...of the planet from me and doesn’t even know i exist. that’s where reveluvs are failing rn. some of them are just babying her even though she’s clearly in the wrong (at least to some extent)...shut up, suck it up, grow a pair idfc because your idol does not care about you
