I know I’m a few days late to the party but this completely gutted me. I’ll make gifs later but for now, I just want to talk about. Hani is so empathetic that she almost cried onstage while promoting without Solji for the first time AND cheered when Hyerin hit her high note. And Hyerin is taking on ALL THE PRESSURE feeling so badly that she needs to be as good as Solji that she started to resent her? That broke my heart. Junghwa is still so against promoting as OT4 and still so defensive of EXID’s image and friendship and of Solji, and LE is just trying to tough it out and keep Solji together. Meanwhile, too sick to perform, Solji is feeling guilty, all the while taking 7 classes and trying to better herself and show people that she’s still in EXID. Hasn’t this band suffered enough? LE mentioned dark times after Every Night when they lived in a tiny, tiny dorm and almost disbanded, and how Solji’s optimism kept them going. Wasn’t that enough strife? They still have to work twice as hard as other bands to get half as far? I’m so sick of seeing these 5 women that I adore and idolize get so much shit. They don’t deserve to always be hurting like this. They just don’t.
