My honest feeling.
I'm going to start this off by quoting myself. If you aren't reading LMYF, that's fine—this isn't a plug. But I wrote this months ago and it seems, well, prophetic, as of today.
“Ji tweets and posts instagram pictures, giving fans more and more access to him. He keeps very little for himself. Just . . . Your intentions seem good. And since this show is already in progress, I can't give you the scary speech and run you off. All I can do, is ask you to be mindful of his privacy, and respectful of the fact that celebrity aside, he's still human.”—Luna
With that being said, I have accepted the fact that everyone on this site is a little delulu. Including me. And I say this, because we writers are taking time out of our real lives to write about someone else's. Long elaborate, sometimes well written, tales about who we think a real person is. I've struggled with this for a while now, whether it's really okay for me to be reading fanfiction, let alone writing it. I'm even more conflicted today.
For those of you who don't know, someone hacked Kwon Jiyong's PERSONAL instagram account and shared a video of him doing another ALS ice bucket challenge. In the video he nominated, 'my dear Kiko.'
I don't care, I don't care, I DON'T CARE! If he's dating her. I don't care how long they've possibly been together. I don't care about couple bracelets and secret messages and . I don't care about ANY of that. I care about the fact that someone was so disrespectful and wrong that they would hack his account and share something that he obviously didn't want shared. If he wanted to share it, he would have posted it on his public account. But he did not. Someone else did, and it's WRONG! The 'news outlets' that are reposting the video are WRONG!
All of this breaks my heart. Not because of him calling Kiko 'my dear', but because he can't count on his 'fans' to respect his rational boundaries.
“All I can do, is ask you to be mindful of his privacy, and respectful of the fact that celebrity aside, he's still human.”
