FOR THE RECORD: 2pm needs to butt out.I’m very certain tht if they didn’t comment, the issue would not have grown to this extent. How abt Nickhun and his Japan scandal???Noone went crazy over tht.Block B did nothing wrong and 2pm has lost a fan while block B has and will gain many.

I really hope Block B don’t change their concept, because when watching them online, seeing them being funny and immature was really nice. I really like seeing that in an idol, and I’m praying that they won’t change that. What they did was wrong, but I think they’re really sorry for it. I think they should learn to be respectful when the situation calls for it, and be themselves when it’s acceptable. But no matter what, I hope Block B don’t change, because it was their way of joking around that made them unique. I don’t want them to be the type of band that just sits there and does nothing (though many groups doesn’t, but I’m sure there are some…somewhere .__.”) I’m not going to excuse their actions by saying OH YEAH, THAT’S JUST THEM BEING THEM, because Zico didn’t mean to insult Thailand, and I don’t think he did, it was misunderstanding and bad mistranslation, but I can see why people would be angry because they didn’t behave as they should have. What they did was wrong, and from all their apologies and posts, I know that they’re reflecting over it. ^_^ Erm and incase anyone asks, yes, I’ve read the actual translations, yes, I’ve seen the interview and the various different versions OF the interview, and yes I’m a BBC. But even if I wasn’t I think death threats and petitions for them to disband is going too far. For Block B to disband, in many people’s eyes that would be the cowardly thing to do, but staying and focusing on improving themselves both musically and as a person, I think that’s really brave. And I’m proud of them. It hurts me to see them sad, and it hurts me to see people leaving their fanbase, but at least they now know that there are still many willing to stay, despite the mistakes they’ve made.
And to all the Thai’s affected by the floods and really to the whole country, I’m sorry for your losses, I’m sorry for what’s happened to you all. And I wish you the best of luck in rebuilding your country into the beautiful place that it truly is.
To all the Koreans who are ashamed, I understand why you would be, but please remember that many other idols have made mistakes as well, and they’ve gotten a second chance which is something I hope you’ll consider for Block B, because I think they will honestly become better people both by themselves and as a group and be able to represent Korea in the way the Korea should be represented.
And to ex-fans, it’s fine to leave, but let’s not leave with insults, okay? And if you were a “true fan” you would have understood this, known it was wrong, but stayed with them anyway. But seeing them all on stage performing their hardest, without any smiles, it breaks my heart.

Sorry this was so long, all of this had to come out somewhere. D:
I hope no one’s offended by what I’ve said, because I’ve tried my hardest not to be, but I guess no matter what anyone says, someone will always find something wrong with it, but if I have offended you, I apologise in advance D:
