sighs....
finally... somebody spoke up.yea, it's in korean. i know it will hurt, but i sincerely, genuinely, really really really hope that he reads this.it's about time.click HERE to read suehan's translation.and i'm incredibly happy that suehan is not someone who translates only good news. after being in this fandom business for some years now, i do know that when you translate things, sometimes you stop and ask yourself, 'hey, should i really translate this?'but are we really doing the right things by shielding, by sweeping the not-so-happy news under the carpet? i believe in treating fellow fans with respect, treat them like adults. tell them like it is, and let them make up their own minds. just be very careful to be factual, and be clear when you're sharing your own opinions.thank you, suehan.and more importantly, thank you Kitunyanko. your ID is not unfamiliar to me, so i know you're a long-time fan. and i think i can understand the inner mental struggle about penning this and also being brave enough not to hide behind a newly-created ID.
