hai, thank you for sharing this rant with me. i generally feel resonated with the idea that they’re drawing the short straw right now. and i think the fans are generally worried for the boys, which as a participating fan they are right to feel so, and it’s inevitable for even some fans who genuinely like both groups to set priorities higher for one of the two.

i’m sure not everyone has a malicious intent when they speak of zb1’s new peak, but i also get why it comes off as such, considering the missed opportunities they had as a nine-member group back then and maybe a narrative stirred by some who were already not fond of the previous lineup. but let’s not fret too much over the noise, for we can always throw in our own takes to balance it out :]

i think both zb1 and a2b face their own unique struggles, but, a rather hard take, i don’t think it’s comparable and i honestly dislike how people paint it as equal when the contexts are so different. mind you, one has to start from zero, from scratch, fleshing out their everything as something brand new. to be frank, as of today, i’m even more worried [sighs] but i don’t think we should let this worry hold back our excitement!!! because i’m sure a2b wants us to be as hyped and supportive for their debut :D
