HJL, i love you, but you keep annoying me! and your fans who defend you, even if they have to insult others, and insist on calling you "perfect" just irk me even more! -_-
honestly, yeah, it hurts to see him attend Junsu's musical but not HJB's. but i admit we don't know the whole situation. although unlikely, i suppose it's possible HJL attended in secret or stayed away to not attract too much attention from HJB (kind of presumptuous, no?), or perhaps he meant to go but was too busy at first and then didn't realize the musical was ending already and missed his chance (he's kinda scatter-brained).
in and of itself, his non-attendance isn't that big of a deal. but HJL fans who think others are "attacking" (who's the one over-reacting?) should realize it's not just this one minor "slight". it's the past several months of barely being linked to SS501. =/
i understand wanting to avoid the media and its rumors, and i love that he confirmed SS501 is not disbanded (like... twice?), but he rarely says anything else about his members. in fact, if it weren't for KJ mentioning that he grabbed drinks with HJL, we would have never known that HJL even sees his members, because all we know is that they keep in contact with each other (but apparently not often with him since he's hard to reach, according to many).
what's annoying is that HJL fans counter with "well, the other members don't show support for him either. they didn't promote his drama." for one, i seem to remember KJ mentioning it, or at least Steven Lee shared their feelings and told people to watch PK because they (other members) still support him, too. it's true they never visited his filming site like in BOF, but they had their own solo activities to start, and they did mention they were proud of HJL singing in the Asian Games. okay, not much support for HJL's drama, i get it, but that's one solo activity they didn't promote, while HJL neglected many more.
think of it this way: the other 4 members missed HJL's drama and fanmeet (which was mainly for the cast & crew), while the leader missed YS & KJ's fanmeets (which JM visited), HJB's musical and fanmeets (which JM, YS, & KJ watched and participated in), and JM's fanmeet (which HJB attended) and 1st solo album (which YS, KJ, & HJB congratulated him on and cheered for).
you can complain that that's a double standard for HJL, but you know what? there SHOULD be a double standard; he's the LEADER. how can the other members be (much) more vocal and supportive of SS501 and its members than its own leader? he's not just a member who happens to be reticent, he's known as SS501's Leader.
look, i'm not questioning HJL's relationship with his members. but isn't it natural to question his actions and his fans who continue to call him the best leader when he hasn't done much "leading" for awhile?
i still love him as an important part of SS501. and i still think he's a really good man (especially after his charity & community service event helping to distribute coal to the needy ^^). but i'm allowed to be annoyed with him for publicly showing support for and playing with his JYJ friends but not showing up for his SS501 members.
i just want to see a little more Leadership. and that includes ships with Leader: where's the HyunSaeng, HyunKyu, GaeMal, & DoubleHJ love? ;)
