I had just re-watched a clip of Running Girls that had Chungha, along with other girl group members and soloists, discussing how she was working hard and could not even fathom taking a break because it seemed like she was a bit pressured to keep going and it broke my heart again to see how, not just her, but all of these girl groups and soloists seem to be overworked.
Which is why I updated my signature with a gratitude to all female artists, even though none of them will ever read it.
I'm aware even boy groups struggle to endure hardships with their labels as well, but I think it's worse for girl groups and we all know the reasons.
If I had a super power ability to stop time for the rest of the world and allow all female artists to take breaks as much as they want, I would.
Why? Because I'm an oppa [ older male ] fan and feel the need to protect them.
