“This fight we knew it was going to be long and tedious and we have to keep pushing through, we’re fighting against a system that has done nothing to protect idols (who are human) against accusers that have gotten away. We have to protect them”, wrote user @patix_mx.
As this point all of it is allegations, accusations, none has been proven. But some sk media outlets out here treating him like he's committed mu*der. Cutting him out, editing him. Where's this energy when actual crimes been committed… #StandUpForWonho#쓰기_전에_생각해주세요
