I actually didnt get banned on akp. Miracles happen. I made the mod see my pointSo this is where you ran to, Abs. At least you can still spell groop for me
Facts.I don't think it's really SM that's the problem but the views on mental illness in Korea. I'm pretty sure they have super high suicide rates comparatively to other more developed nations
But they are also the biggest company with the most idols.While I do understand that there is a larger problem with mental health in the Korean society, SM is also the only company racking up suicides and that makes me feel like they aren't helping their idols as much as they could be.
It could be a really bad coincidence and with Jonghyun you could give them the benefit of the doubt but now with Sulli it makes me question what they are doing as BoA did reveal in one of her interviews that she partly takes care of the mental health of younger people in SM so they do have something but is it enough?But they are also the biggest company with the most idols.
It might just be a bad coincidence.
Because they are still the #1 company in Korea thus are under a loop 24/7While I do understand that there is a larger problem with mental health in the Korean society, SM is also the only company racking up suicides and that makes me feel like they aren't helping their idols as much as they could be.
A comeback being disliked is way different than being hated as a whole and you can say about your but that means nothing to me as it does nothing to explain what help. There's a big difference in being helped by BoA and an actual psychologist/therapist. For the Jonghyun part again how does him being depressed before going into SM do anything? No one sane is saying SM caused his depression what's in question is whether they did as much as they could to help them which I'll give a pass on Jonghyun as it was the first time anything like it happened so maybe they weren't prepared cause they didn't think it would go that farBecause they are still the #1 company in Korea thus are under a loop 24/7
Everything one of their artists post/say/do get held under a loop and shared on these communities.
Let's not forget that these past few years, the gp is treating SM harshly and criticizing every thing they do (just look at all their latest comeback and the reactions on it)
These artists are the most vulnerable for hate comments at this very moment.
They do get enough professional help but that won't change the reactions they get by malicious commenters.
Also I'd like to add that my insider source revealed that she got help for a while now and followed her up (checking on her etc.) (This is the same source that predicts SM quarter plans before they're published, just so you know that I don't trust the first thing I see).
Also, Jonghyun was a depressed person even before debut. I didn't know him that well but I've seen a lot of Shawols confirm this because people keep on blaming the company for his death as well
I did know the Jonghyun got told to get more sun or something which you say a problem is with Korea however let me tell you a story that I heard from a streamer which is that he was really angry to the point of wanting to kill people and went to see someone about it and that persons advice was eating more eggs and they live in Australia. Getting good mental health care is just hard in general no matter where are you from, you got a 50/50 chance of going to a good specialist like Taeyeon must be or like Jonghyun who wanted him to get a tan but as for how it relates back to SM well your guess at how SM handles it is as good as mine as it's behind closed doors so maybe they are doing everything they can and Sulli ws vunerable at that moment and made that decision but we can't truly know.Jonghyun did go to a professional, the professional told him that it was his fault though which again seems to be a problem with Korea more so than the company. Taeyeon also goes to a professional and takes medication, so I think we can assume that the option to go to a professional for treatment is open. Suicide rates also do increase when someone in your community commits suicide, which I also think may have had a factor in why SM has more than other companies.
its been 2 years, I don't think a 2 years ago event is key here. Unless you mean someone else from SM/kpop idol is vulnerable now. I hope they get the help necessary, but I still believe no one can force them, unless they give SM the responsibility. I do believe their contracts kinda do give them the responsibility/authority obliquely but if they(SM) had direct responsibility I would be against tat. Maybe joint responsibility, kinda how JYPE/Mina seem to be handling it.Jonghyun did go to a professional, the professional told him that it was his fault though which again seems to be a problem with Korea more so than the company.

dint know abt mental health professionals doing this, so maybe more reason to lay off SM abt this unless SM brings in Korean speaking foreign professionals maybe.I did know the Jonghyun got told to get more sun or something which you say a problem is with Korea however let me tell you a story that I heard from a streamer which is that he was really angry to the point of wanting to kill people and went to see someone about it and that persons advice was eating more eggs and they live in Australia.
