matter of fact—i need to see him behind bars for me to accept any arc involving this man at all
Mind you he’s js reflecting the things he grew up around and what taught, he never necessarily got any love growing up!!
mind you there is still no excuse to be a pos. some people (decent ones) see the way they were treated as a child as not okay and vow “i will never be like them because i am not evil”. and others, like him, see it as a pity party power trip.
There’s actually a bunch of excuses to be a asshole myh, Js imagine being abused your whole life growing up with no affection and finding your DEAD father in your house after winning a tournament.
boohoo
I can only extend my sympathy to Jaekyoung for what he went through when he was younger. I understand that his past shaped some of his actions, and I’m not completely heartless about that. But let’s be real — that does not excuse the way he treated Kim Dan as an adult. His behavior was completely unjustifiable, and I won’t defend it just because of a tragic backstory.
I don’t care how remorseful he is now — it’s not enough. I need him to grovel. I need to see real regret. He should be crying, begging, kneeling at Kim Dan’s feet, and apologizing not just once, but over and over again. Only then will I maybe consider accepting his redemption arc.
