He's NOT an asshole....he's mentally ill. He was obsessed with his girlfriend. And wasn't ready for another relationship because of that obsession. Jimin knew this, before he even met Hyunwoo, but still lead him on. It's not Hyunwoo's fault, he was never ready.
it 10000% is his fault. even if he is mentally ill he is still responsible for his actions ESPECIALLY when those actions affect other people's lives. being mentally ill does not blur the line between right and wrong and he knew what he was doing was taking advantage of Jimin.
Jimin did not lead him on, he straight up says lets be friends and didnt even realized his feelings until later. Jimin wanted to help Hyunwoo and showed him kindness and wanted to help him which is not leading him. trying to help someone you like is not a bad thing. using them as a means to see your dead gf def is.
Bring mentally ill LITERALLY blurs the line between right and wrong. The majority of mental health diagnosis are literally based on that "line" you're talking about. For example, chapter 46. Did you not read chapter 46? And another example is lack of sympathy, but even more, empathy. Like....lol don't lecture me on mental illnees dude. If you've ever suffered from hallucinations or have even been in a mental hospital with people who have hallucinations you would know how badly it deteriorates the brains ability to process basic morality, empathy. Believe me, I would know.
Also He literally didn't know what he was doing the whole time he knew jimin. Jimin DID lead him on because he KNEW hyunwoos situation, and knew it BEFORE even meeting Hyunwoo, hyun's mother told Jimin everything. And even after Hyunwoo forcefully kissed him (in which he most DEFINITELY understood hyunwoos issues, and at that point should have distanced himself), he still made the concious decision to stick by his side day by day. That is JIMINS fault, and he should've known better.
Hyunwoo is literally sick in the head. He literally cannot dictate between reality and fantasy. He needs to be in a hospital. He is suffering from trauma, and basing his actions impurely upon it. I'm not saying that it's okay he kissed Jimin while he was asleep, I'm saying that he shouldn't be demonized for doing something he had no clue he was doing. Sure, the recent chapter shows how he is coming to terms with it (hence Jihye saying that that was the last time they could meet) but he's doing it by drinking and finding no joy in anything, a clear sign of mental disability, depression. He really thought Jihye was in Jimins body. He sincerely thought Jimin was sent from some heaven to help him talk to his girlfriend. That's not anything a NORMAL person would think.
To put it simply, I say it's Jimins fault, because he knew everything wrong with Hyunwoo, and was still an idiot about it. Its not his fault he was kissed. But all of his actions clearly show he barks responsibility. He knew DAMN WELL Hyunwoo was still seeing Jihye in him instead of his true self. But was selfish because of his meager feelings. Pitiful and shameless.
TL;Dr
Mental illness is LITERALLY the brains inability to process morality and empathy and rational decision making.
Jimin STILL led Hyunwoo on because he understood his situation before meeting him, and on the first date when Hyun kissed him.
Hyunwoo is clearly very depressed and shows signs of schizophrenia to the point of long term hospitalization. Didn't he try to kill himself at one point? He clearly is showing signs of suicidal tendencies. Sure jimin probably wanted to help, but with impure intentions.
wow im not reading all this but basically youre lumping all mental illnesses together and saying all mental illness is not being able to distinguish right from wrong but as someone who has had a mental illness that is just blatantly false. depression does not blur the line between right and wrong. mental illness is not literally the brains inability to process morality or empathy or rational decision making. what mental illness does do is affect mood, thinking and behavior and some do affect your ability to rationalize/blur morality but depression isnt one of them. im not about to get that into a disagreement about a fictional character ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If you're not gonna read what I wrote then I'm not gonna read what you wrote. You literally don't know what mental illnees is and didn't read what I originally wrote so you shouldn't form a response at ALL in that case. Lol good bye
yeah sorry im not gonna read an essay when im really not invested in an online argument with someone who doesnt understand that there are different mental illnesses and lumps them all together as having the same symptoms. seems to me i have a far better understanding of mental illness, morality, and the use of the word "literally" ¯_(ツ)_/¯ bye~
He was an asshole who was shamelessly using someone else as a replacement for his girlfriend. he completely disregarded Jimin's feelings and didn't care as long as he could be with his precious Jihye and even lured him into a situation where he thought Jihye would take over. And Im pretty sure Jihye's ghost is real so also fuck her for completely ruining someone she supposedly loves life. like congrats, you've ruined almost any chance of happiness he did have.
