I wonder how just a few months into this fandom I've already watched both my biases' careers getting totalled. It's a special kind of feeling. (A kind of Christmas feeling?)
I actually wasn't going to post about this at all until there was an actual concrete statement out, but um, this is kind of bad.
So, for posterity's sake, here's the facts as far as I know:
12.19. Zhoumi makes a huge faux-pas during the 53rd Asia Pacific Film Festival, putting the words "Si Chuan Earthquake" and "happy" in the same sentence. This causes a lot of outrage.
12.21. Hangeng files a lawsuit against SM.
12.21. Kyuhyun posts a cryptic message in his CY saying, "Not even a beast bites the hand that feeds them." Heechul also posts a cryptic message but I have no idea what the heck he was trying to say. Then the CY's get closed down.
12.21. Hangeng posts in his CY that he's fine and happy. [not sure about the time-stamp]
12.23. The Seoul District Courts have received Hangeng's lawsuit.
12.23. A reporter notes that Super Junior M is no longer on the guestlist for the concert on December 30th. The only one on the list? Henry, linked to Zhang Li Yin.
12.23. The CY's go back up again.
The rest is all conjecture and rumor. For instance, the staff at the concert seem to have gotten confirmation that Super Junior M is 'temporarily' disbanded with Zhang Li Yin having to fill in the spots left by the group (with, surprisingly, Henry), there are rumors that Leeteuk, Kangin (I don't know either, lol), Donghae, Eunhyuk and Yesung have filed similar lawsuits as the one Hangeng did and there are theories that the rest of Super Junior is just biding its time to start suing their hearts out. In fact, we aren't even sure what the heck Hangeng is shooting for! There are sources who say he wants to cut all ties with SME and start a solo-career, but the very first report seemed under the impression that he only wanted to revise his contract into something humane.
On a completely different tack: Funnily enough, I can't even find that concert on the 30th in Super Junior M's old schedule and yesterday the news broke that Taiwan is happy because they could land a second Super Show concert on February 21st.
But.
I have no idea how to feel, man. Because of the Christmas rush it's very hard to find any information on all this (and all of my haunts seem to have emptied out, whether because of Christmas or the shock/denial I have no idea).
Actually, the only thing I want to know at the moment is whether Zhoumi and Henry are safe somewhere (but of course they aren't important at all, amirite?). I heard rumors about Henry being in Taiwan at the moment the crazy hit, which I hope so fucking much is true. But what about Zhoumi? (Confirmation on where Siwon, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun are would be good too. I can't pinpoint a location for them at all, considering the unlikely event that they all took a holiday with their manager not answering his phone and all. Scratch that, considering they just had a concert appearance. This means ix-nay on the other members having filed?)
i kind of find it horribly low of the zhang li yin fans to start bashing henry right now, tbh, it's not like the boy asked to have his fucking career implode on him
So. Yeah.
