Imagine you willingly choose to become a kpop idol, train for years, debut. What is exactly an idol? Someone you idolize, someone you choose as a role model, someone who brings you comfort through their various talents. It isn't only a singer who happens to dance at the same time. You have an image and that's the main thing about your job. For good or for worse, an idol's main asset is their personality and how good they are as a person.
Everyone knows that. So it always baffles me when idols get caught in questionable (at best) or criminal (at worst) activities. What exactly do you think would happen in an industry that creates a scandal from unnecessary issues like making eye contact or dating? It's not only a matter of being evil, but also of being an idiot. Of course someone would catch him at one point. Of course the victims would try to get justice eventually. Taeil literally threw in the trash years of work, training, stages. And it's not only a matter of him destroying his career. He stained his group forever. He didn't give a sh1t about them either. He was the oldest member too, someone they relied on, their best vocalist, someone they looked up to. He didn't give a sh1t about the staff and any other worker who put effort into his career. He didn't give a sh1t about the fans either. He wasn't the most biased member, but everyone liked him, everyone agreed on the supposed mistreatment by his company, everyone wanted him to sing more.
When you become an idol of a boy group, you know most of your fans will be young girls, who will think you are the best example of what a man should be, very different from the ones they meet irl. They dream of meeting someone like you. Then the dream pops like a balloon and you remember they are people too and people can be stupid, nasty, evil.
I really hope the victim of this crime will get justice and will heal.
The fact that SM, the company that loves keeping their idols in the basement but still keeping them under contract, got rid ot Taeil so fast, even before news outlets came out, means that what he did is extremely serious, probably something that can bring him to court and get involved in legal procedures.
I'm shocked honestly. Yes, we never know what idols truly are irl, men in general can't be trusted, but I was not expecting it. I hope he gets what he deserves.

Jaehyun's 1st album: my opinion
Smoke: I read some comments about this track before listening to it, many didn't like the chorus, so I was kinda nervous, but when I listened it I liked it a lot. It gives an interesting flavor to what could've been a safe r&b track. I think it shows well his range as a vocalist.
Roses: the type of song you'd expect from him, safer than Smoke. Really sexy and sultry, horny and sad. We already knew it since it was part of the pre-release.
Flamin' Hot Lemonade: wow let me shake a bit my 4ss. the song to listen to during a summer night, when you feel a bit spicy and lascivious. I love that he's rapping, when I talk about his range I mean that he can sound like the sweetest vocalist and like the hottest hip hop singer the next minute. I love the way this song tastes.
Dandelion: this is what I was not expecting from him lmao the outlier of this album so far. Sounds like a song escaped from Kyungsoo's album and who found itself in someone else's album.
Completely: softer song, almost ballad-y. Voice + piano. This man was supposed to be one of the main vocalists in NCT, SM keeps forgetting it, so thanks Jaehyun for reminding us of your beautiful voice. The final part is especially beautiful.
Easy: we get quirky again. Like the title, it's a song that rolls easily. When I first heard it, I thought the melody was a bit too distracting, but right now I'm listening to it again and it already sounds better, I think it's the kind of song that grows the more you listen.
Can't Get You: knowing what song comes next, I think this is really great to introduce the final song and basically close the loop with Smoke. It still holds a more relaxed vibe similarly to the previous tracks (summerish vibe here too) but with darker undertones. I like the female chorus in the background. The song fades, like smoke in the last track...
Smoke (Eng. Ver.): I don't really know which version I prefer more, I need to listen to them more. I think the vibe is exactly the same in both of the versions.
It's a pretty chill album, exactly what you'd expect from him. I understand why Smoke was picked as a title track, it's the most interesting song imo. Roses would've been a great contender, but I get that they wanted to go for a more quirky song. Mid-way in the album, the overall tone gets brighter with Dandelion, not surprised this was the pre-release because together with Roses it really tells you what you have to expect from his album. I like that the album has a very "end of summer" vibe, I don't know how to explain it, it's that kind of nostalgia, that bit of sadness, but it's not autumn just yet, so we can still enjoy the moment. My fave right now is probably Roses.

Help my baby please
🍉I am Hala, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza Strip 😭😭. I fled the war with my husband to Egypt..
The story began on March 21, 2024 when my beautiful child was born.. He was a wonderful and special child.. Suddenly, a week after his birth, my child Abdul Aziz's belly swelled up a lot and I visited several doctors without discovering the reason.. After another week of the child's suffering, I took him to a specialized hospital and the doctors there discovered a blockage in Abdul Aziz's colon that prevented him from excreting stool.. It was decided to perform a surgical operation consisting of an opening in Abdul Aziz's belly to temporarily remove stool from his intestines until the affected part of the colon was removed in another complex surgical operation that cost thousands of dollars..😭😭
I am speaking to you now with great sadness about my child's condition and I ask you to help me and donate to me to collect the costs of the operation within a month from now.
I appeal to everyone who can donate any amount, no matter how small, because it will save my child and give us hope.
Please don't leave my son alone to suffer and struggle in these difficult days alone.. You can support my campaign by donating what you can or share my posts to reach others who can help us by raising the cost of the surgery you are helping in the life of an innocent child with your small contribution. ❤❤🍉🍉
Every donation makes a difference in his very difficult life
Please help if you can
🛑🍉Stop please🍉 🛑
Don't ignore me, listen to our sad story 💔🍉
Save my children and my family from famine, disease, war and constant bombing. We die at any moment. There is no safe place in Gaza. We live on the burning sand and the hot sun during the day, in tents that are not suitable for animals to live in. Crawling insects also emerge from the sand that walk on our bodies and cause us death and disease. Save us, save us, save us. We have been living the worst days of our lives for ten months with agony, as my house was bombed and many of my family died and were seriously injured. We have become afraid for our children and ourselves from the frightening and destructive sounds of missiles that destroy the stone, turning it into rubble, and destroy the human being and turn him into pieces everywhere. Words cannot describe what we are experiencing now, but your support and participation through my campaign link gives us hope to leave Gaza.
