‘He shouldn’t have debuted in a group’ It’s been years and a mixtape is somehow still treated as an impossible ask. Even newer generation rookies are out here releasing their own projects. No wonder he had to even push to release individual covers or sing a bit of them at concerts as he’s clearly trying to find ways to show a new side to fans instead of staying stagnant with the same repetitive setlists. Jokes on him, if only he knew it’s never gonna be the same for them. Besides, he never gave the bare minimum while he was in the group. He poured all his extra time into recording bgvs, vocal layers, and perfecting group tracks, stepping up when needed and gave far more than what’s asked of him just to keep growing and with the intention to level up as a collective. He always put the group first, even with little to no credit. The fact that we only knew about the extent of his participation because of the other members, and not from him, says it all. So at least thank you, Heeseung, srs.
