For me, I don’t pity him I just feel angry. Why couldn’t they show their love and concern for him back when he was the original Sihyeon? He died believing he was unloved and treated poorly by everyone around him. He loved the wrong person and couldn’t see or trust those who genuinely cared. He was so manipulated that he couldn’t open up, no matter how much he wanted to.
I know the members tried to help in their own way, but they never took the right actions. They knew he was desperate for money so what did they do? The pink-haired one even knew what was happening, yet what action did he take? To add on the member knew that sihyeon hated being touch and they couldn't find why that was so odd? So put pieces together? To Sihyeon, it felt like he didn’t belong in the group. He believed people hated him. His team members couldn’t truly understand him, and everyone around him seemed to hate him simply because they couldn’t understand his feelings.
There were people who cared for him in their own ways, but it’s still heartbreaking that he was so manipulated and consumed by self-hate that he couldn’t see his own worth especially when no one clearly showed him how good of a person he really was. And now that he’s gone, suddenly he’s showered with love, affection, and worry but it’s not even directed at the original Sihyeon. It’s for the mc. The fact that the MC realized this truth is what I admire about him, and it’s why I’m glad Daejun is the ML.
Yes, it’s hard to save someone who doesn’t want to be saved, but here’s the thing why wait until it’s too late? The members finally asked if he was okay, asked about his problems… but why couldn’t they do this before? Why did they only reach out after everything was already broken and gone?

nah I totally feel your rage, I had a rant about this in the earlier chapters and I've come to a thought that I'll just never like his bandmates no matter how much they try now. This is also why I absolutely despise the actor trying to cosy up to him now. I legit don't care that he gave og Sihyeon an out cause imo it wasn't enough. He knew exactly what kind of spider web he had fallen into and there was no way such flimsy help would have worked.
Imo the only one who truly helped even a little was the ceo, had him see a therapist and even tried to help his debt problem the minute he found out about it.
I miss when joseph was the ML </3 when he was the only ml </3 is okay now but joseph...
