you did well

STOP with the abs thing. I’m all for it if the idol is doing it purposely (like Chan did) or if it’s an ‘accidental’ (but very intentional) thing, but making them FORCING into doing this every single time is just not ok 

Especially since they have been doing it since their showcase, and the host then told them “all of your abs have to be ready next time”

Especially since Donghun always seems so focused on his weight

Especially since they have been mentioning Sehyoon’s eating habits from the start and it’s an ongoing joke but these are the kind of jokes that turn into very serious issues later on 

Especially since all of them at one point or another have referred to themselves as not “being enough” physically, and this may be aggravated or not by the kind of background they already have. 

They are at the stage where they are just beginning to get a whole lot of exposure and I don’t want to see the amount of shit it will bring into them mentally when they will be viewed under a magnifying glass from the start. They are not “the leg muscles” they are not the “shorts” (which I have been seen described as RACY UNDERWEAR by some sites) and they are not their “abs”, they are five talented people that can dance, sing and rap, so ask them to sing a bit, ask them to do a silly dance, ask them to imitate a rapper, do dumb penalties like forehead flicking or holding their breath or stuff like that. Don’t make them feel like all they have is their bodies, they are so much than that. So please make them feel like that way, make them feel loved, make them feel happy, make them feel accomplished, and if you want to do a variety worthy thing, make them feel a bit silly, but don’t make them uncomfortable asking for something they have stated to not be ok with.
