Yeosang is very popular. He’s the member who sells his merch the fastest most of the time, and he consistently gets the highest views on his covers/solos. He’s been known since pre-debut as a highly talented and popular trainee, with six companies wanting him. He also officially holds the most positions within the group, making him an ace who can take on a wide range of schedules and opportunities. He has charted in multiple charts under his own name, including with solo projects, and he frequently gets some of the loudest cheers when Ateez attends events. He continues to bring in new fans because of his talent, visuals, and personality. Brands are are in love with him left and right, and there are clearly people interested in working with him. That’s exactly why what he’s going through feels so odd and why we’re questioning it. Someone with his level of demand and versatility should have opportunities to showcase his abilities through lines, screen time, schedules, and different types of activities. What we’re saying is literally the opposite of victimizing him 😭 It’s the people who keep saying that he doesn’t want schedules, doesn’t want lines, or would rather just stay at home who are actually reducing him to someone who needs to be pitied. And saying things like “we should show his demand” or “we should show brands this and that” is what can actually be harmful to his image. He is fully capable of doing many things, he has an audience and demand for it, and there is clearly a gap between what he is capable of and the opportunities he’s receiving and something clearly is stopping him from achieving the things he's capable of.
