I mean, up until their last comeback, he was still reassuring fans that BANAs did not have to worry about the ‘7 year jinx’, which clearly was not the case since he left lol. And him leaving was fine, he’s allowed to leave the group. But it would have been nice if he wasn’t maybe so outwardly vocal about B1A4 staying as 5...

...which brings me to the next point. Despite this, I’ve also always said that I can understand why Jinyoung felt the need to keep talking like this. I’m sure he felt trapped and didn’t want to make fans upset so early on, particularly if he wasn’t 100% sure at that point if he was definitely going to leave. But, it is clear that by the time he did know he wanted to leave (and proceeded to do so) he clearly did not communicate that with CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan. And their initial reactions, and what they have come out to say about it following the split, shows a lot of shock, pain, and hurt. And that’s not cool.

Jinyoung clearly had LINK8 in the works for a while, considering how quickly he ‘joined’ the company that seemingly came from no where, as its first and only artist.

Within like, two months of the split, he was already doing solo fanmeets (which let’s not forget, was titled ‘Fly More’, something that definitely seemed to almost hint at B1A4′s old moniker of ‘Let’s Fly’). Not to mention he had his own light sticks for his fanmeets, t-shirts for LINK8 and J.Ground (his own personal studio, already set up), etc.

Jinyoung has made (at least publicly) no attempt at any communication with A3. Now, I know you made a point to bring up about A3 and WM ignoring Jinyoung, but at the end of the day, he’s the one that left lol... and seemingly under not so transparent circumstances. So I’d argue that it would be more expected for him to rebuild that bridge. But instead, we see him seeing other friends off to their military service, getting food trucks for his other colleagues or friends he’s worked with, etc. Baro, on the other hand, we have at least seen show some support to the members’ instagrams, and with comeback related posts.

Jinyoung himself has also flat out said that he’d do a reunion, but because it would be what the fans want. Which, idk, you’d think if he was that confident as you say, he would also mention maybe because it’s something he would want as well? Not just something to appease the fans?

And to me, the most recent and honestly most damning thing that really seems to go against the  whole ‘oh Jinyoung still wants to be in B1A4′ is the fact that at some point fairly recently, he deleted his instagram post he originally made right after the split was announced. Why would he take down a post where he mentioned about fans keeping their faith in B1A4 promoting as 5 and how someday B1A4 would come back to them as 5 if he truly still believed that? Or wanted it?

There’s certainly more than just these particular examples, but I think some things may start to bleed into more opinion territory and I do want to try and avoid that.
