First, completely agree with Yuna, I do think Hwangshin are the most fun to watch together and part of it is that Yuna and Yeji match each other's energies perfectly. We all have our biases but you should at least attempt to acknowledge that this is YOUR skewed perspective because Yeji's gallery being Lia means nothing. Except that she takes pictures for her. Who's found taking pictures of her all the time? Ryujin. Most of the time, it's Ryujin taking pictures of Yeji. So where does that leave us? People have preferences for who takes their pictures and it has nothing to do with closeness. Please be logical.Guest wrote: ↑26 May 2023, 23:29A Yeji solo stan here it's ridiculous how you're saying that Ryujin treats Yeji better than Lia or have a better relationship cause that's just a lie and i know you're just one of those delusional ryeji shippers or a Ryujin stan by how you make it seem like ryujin is sweet or some bs towards Yeji. Ryujin is the member who treats Yeji the worse so don't be spewing bs to justify her nasty ass behavior. It's annoying that these so called blackheart's, ship Yeji with Ryujin just cause she's popular and known as "the gay" one in the group cause how can you ship them when Yeji deserves better than the toxic ass behavior from Ryujin. The only member who treats Yeji the best is Yuna and the fact that half of Yeji's gallery is Lia and not Ryujin tells me who's she has a better relationship withGuest wrote: ↑26 May 2023, 03:57Da.Guest wrote: ↑25 May 2023, 22:54As someone who watches all their contents and i mean all lol i wasn't surprised at all. Most "midzy" really only know Itzy because of fan edits or saw the most viewed videos that doesn't really show their bad side unless you follow their contents and really pay attention to them, so they kind of have this idea of what the members are like, I've seen a lot of comments saying that Yeji is a scary leader or implies that Yeji has some sort of authority towards the members and that couldn't be further from the truthGuest wrote: ↑25 May 2023, 21:22Well yeah. Because the audience noticed too. The comments section was full of people trying to make Yeji feel better, even when it was live.Guest wrote: ↑25 May 2023, 20:22
Ahhh the episode no one is suppose to talk about. Yeji didnt mc again till the episodes were in the twenties.
It's the first time I felt like I didn't really know them at all because all the edited content gave an entirely different perspective of their relationship compared to this unedited live version.
As for this specific episode Yeji and Lia already had that kind of relationship since the beginning which i actually like, since they are both of the same age, YeJisu always had this love/hate relationship where they will make snide comments to each other and most of the time both of them just brushes it off but both are always careful to not cross the line. Yeji can say what she wants if she's annoyed and upset at Lia which she doesn't do to the others since she's older and all that unnie/leader stuff and same goes with Lia and i must say I'm loving the development of their relationship these days, they have gotten really close.
And as for Ryujin i just knew she was going to cross the line like she always does at that time, because of her impatience and I'm better than you attitude that time she can be really mean to Yeji and Lia but especially Yeji, I've said it before though Ryujin has matured and has become more laid back but she still has some moments where she can be entitled and bratty but she's not as mean like she used to so that's a good thing.
And it's obvious they all talked about what happened after that episode (duran duran) cause you can tell the members we're actually disappointed at Ryujin towards the end for crossing the line (1:34: 29) Yuna tearing up because she felt bad for Yeji and softly implying for Ryujin to stop, (1:34:33) Lia was getting mad and was not having her nonsense anymore and at (1:34:53) by Ryujin's face you can tell Lia was giving her the look to shut up and wanted to end the episode already and Chaeryeong trying so hard to make the atmosphere light
Like any relationship/friendship they will also have bad moments but since their friendship is as solid as ever now we can all assume they worked it out, so no need to make anyone look bad because they all have bad their moments i can tell you that.
Tbh, I can't see what you're saying. Other than that Yuna timestamp, I can't figure out what I'm supposed to see at all. They all have bad moments but I've never seen Yeji or Yuna or Chaeryeong (towards Yeji) act like this at all. In fact, I've never seen Yeji do anything like this to anyone, and what comes to mind for Yuna is that time she got upset at having her mistake pointed out, which she's a teenager, so I expect that much. And for chaeryeong, the only thing is they went on variety shows during their debut years and she kept naming bad things about Yeji, I've never seen anything either. This left a weird taste in my mouth, but I think that's what she's made her variety persona because she acted like that on the drinking show as well.
Ryujin and Lia are frequently doing things like this to her though. I've never seen Yeji be snarky to Lia, except in that one skit where it was clearly part of the script and that's one of those 'leader moments' people plaster everywhere without knowing that the whole thing is a script. But Lia has called Yeji empty headed, asked how someone like her got into JYP, called her frustrating and so many other things. Like they went to on that Hello 82 show where they had to read tongue twisters and she kept laughing at Yeji doing the English one and said they're never getting home when she herself took a long time for another one and Yeji never said anything back. She never even gets defensive, which is why seeing her tear up was so hard for me at least.
Same for Ryujin. For a lot of Gap of Itzy, the way she teased Yeji was uncomfortable to watch and you can see the evidence in the comments still there.
But tbf to her, I think she's really attached to Yeji too, because no one who isn't would be coming home earlier for her or spending most of their time with her. The constant teasing is hard to miss once you notice, especially because Yeji never says anything back.
It's one of the reasons I pulled back from Itzy content a lot in general, because Lia was my bias and Ryujin my bias wrecker and I've always brushed it all off before but after this episode I noticed and a remembered a lot of things from before as well. And I was extremely disappointed. I don't think they're bad at all but I wish they would behave a little better and Yeji just stood up for herself.
I'm glad they're doing better now, and all of them seem to have calmed down and matured a bit more.
Next, I'm not saying Ryujin never crossed the line with her teasing over the years, but she's also clearly very attached to Yeji. My point was that it was clearly not out of wanting to hurt Yeji as much as her not realising how it came across. And on top of that, a lot of people have absolutely berated her hard. But people often give Lia a free pass for whatever reason. Even if what she does is just as bad. When they were supposed to name 5 countries, Lia said Yeji can't do that. When they were playing charades and she kept yelling at Yeji asking her if her head is empty. And she was the first one in the episode to call Yeji frustrating. When they did that Hello82 tongue twister show, when Yeji was reading the English one, Lia was the one who said, I can't even tell what you're saying, despite knowing how hard English has been for Yeji in general.
She's genuinely been mean to Yeji on several occasions. You don't have to stan Yeji to think that. If you think Ryujin is toxic for her teasing, then Lia is at least as bad.
Ryujin has learnt her lesson and just gotten a whole lot better in general. She constantly talks about wanting to do better, even her birthday message to Yeji was I'll cherish you a lot. So she's clearly trying. And Yeji herself has mentioned in the past, that she comforts her after teasing her. I haven't heard anything of the sort about Lia and Lia is still teasing her in a way that feels mean spirited. Like when Yeji was crying about her dream on stage, Ryujin was crying with her but Lia was laughing and calling her a child. Similarly with the live afterwards, Lia started laughing at her dream, so much so that Yeji almost got off the screen and then Ryujin was the one to pull her back.
Here you can see it. At 1:12 Lia is mocking the way Yeji cried, specifically looking at Ryujin to respond but Ryujin replied calling Yeji called her sweet. There's many examples like this recently.
Believe what you want to, but this is just what I've seen happening.
