Hello and goodbye.
This is Admin Y or Yoon, and I’ve been really busy. Busy with school, busy with real life. And busy putting my free time to other interests. You can probably tell when I didn’t post anything lately... That was all of the reasons that I’ve come to write this.
gagconcert@tumblr/GAGCONJANA will be put on an indefinite hiatus.
I’m sorry it has to come to this day, but I just can’t manage as one person and I’m losing the will to do so in terms of interest and priorities. Doing this started to feel like a chore, unfortunately. I’m sorry I can’t reach the 1,000th episode with you guys, or at least last till the next anniversary of this blog on Christmas.
You might say that I should find more admins to join the blog, or pass it on to someone else, but I started doing a lot, a lot of things for this blog that I don’t think I can find someone suitable and trustworthy to take over. There’s so many things to do: Tumblr, Instagram, YouTube, updating the English Wikipedia page, finding BGMs, GIFs (if it still stands), translating official SNS, videos, news, interviews, some HTML/CSS coding to update the Tumblr blog pages. And you gotta be interested in GagCon in the first place.
Think of that, multiplied by more than 50 active GagCon comedians. There are more than 40 posts stuck in the Drafts, and I haven’t translated any of the new GagCon Facebook Page posts because I just can’t find the time to translate everything...
I know I’m such a wet blanket because the 5th BICF is happening tomorrow evening and there won’t be anyone to post the blue carpet photos.
Speaking of BICF, you pretty much wouldn’t know (because I didn’t post ;-;) but something like that happened a few days ago. Yeah. It’s really not the biggest reason that I’m leaving the blog on an indefinite hiatus, but it felt like that singular, very last straw. So many cases of blackface, especially in comedy, and I’m really not sure why Korean comedians still don’t get it. There are so many ways to do comedy while also respecting different cultures.
I’m just... tired that there’s so many people to care about. I love(d) them all for the hard work they put in but this is the breaking point for me. Unfortunately, there’s almost no more reason for me, personally, to spend time on this anymore.
I will be putting my time and effort on someone else, knowing that there are fellow fans who care and support them actively.
This message became long ;-; Thank you for following our blog till the end. The blog will be left as-is, but it is unlikely that it will come alive again.
- Yoon
