like the double meaning of "cold, I'm so cold" simultaneously describes him slipping into death as well as how he finally acknowledges that he shouldn't just blame the director but also himself for choosing this job, for believing in the directors words, for being a willing participant who ignored his own humanity even in the face of child human experimentation gahhh outsider pov hitsss... the way they showed yooseong literally in fucking handcuffs and leg cuffs as a child and then him going on like fuck the director as if he didn't see what's happening from the start GAHHHHH
side 24 literally has chills running up my spine,, the writing is amazing,, "what is a God without mercy... Or empathy?" this manhwaga is a genius seriously. the use of outsider pov was a brilliant decision like damm
RIGHT plus the panel at that part !!! gave me goosebumps fr

what's the reason why people don't like rajun ? genuinely puzzled.
I mean it's understandable to be peeved and angry over how the members before didn't help og sihyeon as much as they could have but I think in this situation, it was a two way street in the sense that og sihyeon was self destructive and self isolating as well. even if the members should have reached out to try to understand instead of ignoring him due to their discomfort and guilt over their own helplessness. the members currently are really caring and genuinely look out for "sihyeon" in any way possible so I legitimately don't understand? I just feel that human relationships aren't that simple and clear cut and that people make mistakes when interacting with each other but that doesn't mean they're bad people, they just fumbled an incredibly complex situation. og sihyeon was so isolated and traumatised and the fact that he's an idol only made things more isolating.
I get where you’re coming from, and you’re right human relationships aren’t simple, and OG Sihyeon definitely struggled with self-isolation and destructive tendencies. I'm not disagreeing with u but to share our pain with u
But the main reason people dislike Rajun (including all the team member) isn’t because they think he’s a “bad person” in general it’s because of the diff contrast between what OG Sihyeon did for him and what Rajun did in return.
Remember, OG Sihyeon literally saved Rajun during a critical moment, but when Sihyeon needed help, Rajun did nothing. And this doesn’t just apply to Rajun it applies to the entire group. OG Sihyeon helped the members in his own ways, yet when he was fighting his own battles like his debt, the manipulation, the hate from fans and the public, where were they?
All the members knew something was wrong. The only one who truly stepped up, even a little, was the CEO, who arranged therapy and tried to help with his debt as soon as he found out. Meanwhile, now that our MC is in Sihyeon’s body, everyone is suddenly full of care and concern. It almost feels like a cruel irony.
Yes, the current members are caring now, but for OG Sihyeon, that love came way too late. People say the members “tried” to help, but if they truly cared, why didn’t they take proper action? They knew he desperately needed money what did they do? The pink-haired one even knew the full situation, yet did nothing. OG Sihyeon felt like he didn’t belong in the group. He genuinely believed people hated him. His team members couldn’t understand him, and outsiders hated him because they didn’t understand his feelings.
Yes, it’s hard to save someone who doesn’t want to be saved but why wait until it’s too late? The members only started asking if he was okay and checking in after everything was broken. Why didn’t they reach out sooner? Why did they only show concern when he gone?
You said, “Even if the members should have reached out to try to understand instead of ignoring him due to their discomfort and guilt over their own helplessness. The members currently are really caring and genuinely look out for ‘Sihyeon’ in any way possible.” But that’s the whole point their worry and care are directed at the MC, not OG Sihyeon. The original Sihyeon died believing he was worthless. Did anyone ever tell him to his face that they loved him or worried about him? No. Their silence spoke louder than any unspoken concern they had.
OG Sihyeon was self-destructive and closed off, yes but the people closest to him, the ones he lived and worked with every single day, never made it clear that he mattered. No amount of “silent support” helps if the person never feels it. He spiraled because he was manipulated and isolated, and instead of pulling him out, they let him drown in guilt and self-hate.
And as you said, “People make mistakes when interacting with each other, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad people.” We recognize that. No one’s calling them pure evil. But og Sihyeon is gone. There are no second chances for him. All the regret and guilt in the world now mean nothing to the person who needed that love the most.
ah, I get it now. tysm for replying and I think I agree for a lot of what you're saying
