X1 and Why They Matter (#1)
It’s been a week since
the disbandment news, but it still hurts like hell.
Everyone around me kept saying “It’s just K-pop, don’t be dramatic”.
Actually, I also can’t
understand my own self. I keep wondering why I’m feeling this way over that
K-pop group. Some people said, “It’s just X1, if they disband, there are still a lot of K-pop groups to stan”.
K-pop won’t hurt you,
they said. But here I am, crying like crazy because of it.
X1 really matters to me. And if they
disband, I don’t have any reason to stay as a K-poper. X1 was the only reason
why I’ve been really into Korean these past 8 months, since PDX101 era.
I keep saying such
things like “X1 was there when I was sad, when I was down”. And that’s true.
Some One Its (X1’s fans) also shared the same things. I have some mutuals on
Twitter who shared their stories with me, saying that after years of depression,
they finally have a reason to be happy, to be alive. Let’s not talk about
religion this time.
I still remember that
post-midnight when someone dm-ed me, she shared her story. She has been
struggling her whole life because of her abusive parents. She had suicidal thoughts on her mind the whole time, she did cuttings and such things like that. “But
out of sudden, a K-pop group named X1 changed my life. They lessen my depression,
they make me happy for no reason. I still have this suicidal thought
sometimes, but not as intense as before” She texted.
Yesterday, I watched a
youtube video from ‘CTRL-Z’.
One of them said, “I knew X1 for the first time
when I was tired. Tired of everything. But finally I have a reason to smile, I
find my way to ‘take a rest’ by watching X1”. Then two of them added, “We never
know how big X1’s impact on a person. We can’t judge people for crying over the
X1’s disbandment news”. I can’t agree more!!
X1 has been cheering
everyone up.
And that’s why they
shouldn’t be disbanded!
Up to this day, One Its
all over the world are still fighting for X1. We demand for rebranding X1,
redebuting them with different name but still with the same members. X1 is Han
Seungwoo, Cho Seungyoun, Kim Wooseok, Kim Yohan, Lee Hangyul, Cha Junho, Son
Dongpyo, Kang Minhee, Lee Eunsang, Song Hyeongjun and Nam Dohyon. Nothing can
change that.
Korean One It has been
renting 3 LED truck and moves the truck to all agencies building. International
One Its have been helping with the daily project of mass streaming, donations,
letters, videos, hashtags, and more.
We still fight. We’ll
never give up on trying to reunite X1. There’s still hope. The members are
trying hard too because in fact, they’re all still wanna be together.
Fighting everyone! We can do this!
