Stray Kids will forever be 9. Even if Woojin isn't physically there with them, I would still look at them as nine members. I'll always remember the impact Woojin gave me as I started stanning the group. Even if he isn't in SKZ anymore, for me, he will always be there. I love you and appreciate you, Woojin💛💛💛
"STRAY KIDS 9 OR NONE WE'RE GONNA CROSS THE FINISH LINE"
so i just woke up to the news of goo hara’s passing. she was a south korean singer and actress, only twenty-eight years old. this is coming right after hearing about sulli’s passing just about a month ago. in 2017, the lead singer of shinee, kim jonghyun passed away at just twenty-seven years old, followed by actor jeon tae soo’s suicide in 2018, actress jeon mi seon in 2019. this problem isn’t just found in south korea, but i’m writing after seeing the news this morning.
there have been more than 200 celebrity suicides in the 21st century. the afsp published that in 2017, 47,173 americans died by suicide. there were about 1,400,000 attempts. the people who are dying are not just “our family, friends, teachers, etc.” they’re other human beings who genuinely should have every chance at living life they deserve. there is something inherently wrong in social society that prevents people from being able to live. there are some who wish to commit suicide but cannot because they are more afraid of their children’s/family’s/friend’s lives than their own lives. this is another extremely big and undressed problem, because there are so so many people suffering from depression.Â
we can’t just blame it on cyber bullying and call it a day. it’s a much more serious problem than that, because not everyone dies from being cyber bullied. not everyone is dying from being bullied. some people are dying because of economic reasons, family problems, traumatic events, you name it. we need to be helping each and everyone in some possible way, whether it be by just trying to extend a hand to those who need it, or focusing on bettering mental health care.
there needs to be something done, and me being frustrated and heartbroken after hearing about suicides won’t be enough. awareness is not just enough, but it’s an amazing step towards a goal. we need to start taking some sort of action, and fast, because suicide is the tenth most common way people die in america. (after a list of 1-9 being health-related death, like cancer, diabetes, etc that are also very important)
if you know someone needs help, be compassionate, empathetic, and an active listener. provide them with different solutions, like therapy or just being able to sit and talk with them. serious problems like these take time, and unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though people are taking the time to actively move towards a society that is more accepting, aware, and inclusive of people who are struggling within.
we need to care, and we need to start caring faster if there is meant to be a way to help those who need help. please read thisÂ

everyone should re blog this
When idols have to hide the hair when they have a comeback.
Okay, I usually really hate when people tag their posts with unrelated groups, but considering that I am now the third blog that pops up when you search for TRCNG on tumblr when I only started actively tagging my posts like a week ago, I don’t know what else to do anymore to get attention and I need more people to talk about this.
//tw abuse
Some of you might already know but Taeseon and Wooyeop of TRCNG sued TS Entertainment for habitual child abuse and violence and have since officially left the group. They were also deprived of basic needs because TS didn’t pay bills for their dorm or got shit fixed when it broke). I don’t want to go in too much detail but @justicefortrcng has done a pretty good job at collecting evidence of what is happening. These boys are 18-19 old and have reportedly been abused since before their debut in 2017 and I personally highly doubt anything will change for the remaining members, because it’s fucking TS entertainment they just don’t fucking learn. I can’t blame them for staying though, if everything that was reported is actually true (and I honestly don’t believe anything that TS’ side says, so far they accused everyone that sued them of lying - and that’s a lot of lawsuits), they’re in a shit ton of debt, they’re probably scared as hell, they look terrified in the video they posted where they announce they’ll continue as 8 and I’m scared for them.
Champions are a really small fandom so all I’m asking is to spread the word and maybe take a minute to sign the petition in the replies (because tumblr doesn’t like to show links in the searches), show these boys that they’re not alone and maybe we can get TS to finally take responsibility.
for those who cared about and loved sulli and for those who lived again the times in which we lost jonghyun today, i hope you find peace in normal/domestic things and i hope you are safe. know that you are never alone in these moments and it's okay to take a break or two, but don't give up on small things ♡
Spread the word!
Dear Jonghyun, Today it’s been 3 years without your beautiful smile, your beautiful voice, your beautiful words, the beautiful you. I miss you everyday and I will cherish all the beautiful words, music and memories you gave us forever. You did well, you worked the hardest ♡
The sky began to darken and lights began to glow in the darkness. The man's face held it's fearful look as he realized he had been caught. Caught by the most important thing to him; the thing he wanted to protect the most from the absolute worst. He knew it was over before it began. His heart trembled knowing that this moment was his number one fear.
The girl didn't know what to think. Thoughts raced through her head, as did her heart. The nightmare had only just begun. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Her entire world that she knew seemed to fall apart from the moment she caught him. Everything she thought she knew now changed as reality hit her like a bus. The man she gave her whole self too was not the man she thought him to be.
"Tom..." Her voice cowered back, afraid of what he could possibly become. Who was he really, now that she knew about his other side.
"I can explain, but you have to hear me out." He tried to speak calmly, but felt a shiver as he thought of a possible outcome, all pointing to something he didn't want to deem possible. The idea that the girl who became his universe, his everything, could leave him indefinitely.
"What is there to explain? You have lied to me this entire time about something this big!" Her voice quivered, yet showed strength at the same time.
"That I wanted to protect you. I wanted to keep you put of this world. This terrible one that I'm trapped in. I wanted to keep you put of it. I need you to be safe because I love you more than anything." He began to whisper as he began to inch closer to her.
"The only question I have is why? Why is killing your reality? Why are you trapped in something you don't want a part of?" Tears streamed down her face as overwhelming anxiety filled her core.
"I went down a path no one should ever choose. I thought I was doing good by my father. I was forced into this and if I try and leave, everything will be lost forever. They will go after the best thing in my life. I can't lose you. Not now, not ever."
The man pulled the girl into a tight embrce as if she would disappear from right in front of him.
She had a difficult time accepting the new information in front of her. Her love being affiliated with the mafia? His father being the leader and ruining his own son?
"I don't know anymore. I don't think I can do this." She said this as she pushed him away from her. This was the first time she ever felt like she was being suffocated by him and his love.
"Please don't leave me." His voice was was losing it's grip as he continued to speak in a hushed tone.
"Tom, I.."
He placed his lips upon hers in that moment. She melted into it, but soon realized what was happening.
"Tom, I can't." She turned her back on him for the very first time, walking farther and farther away from the best thing that happened to her as tears gushed from her eyes.
