WooWorld

By the time I found Stray Kids, Woojin was several months absent from the group, so I honestly had no idea he existed until I got into watching their older MVs. I obviously became curious and looked up who he was, but didn't dive much deeper. But when I started noticing compilations where his face was blurred or blocked out, I did the research.

As someone who had no opinions before researching, I was able to take in everything without any real bias despite all of the rather harsh comments I had seen mingled around the stray kids tag on here.

Honestly, the amount of hate sent to him was (and still is) insane. A lot of people forget the "innocent until proven guilty" phrase and condemn anyone who does anything remotely wrong legally even the evidence doesn't quite add up. Frankly, celebrity/idol allegations always leave me skeptical over the validity because people like to see others fail. I know. It's disgusting. So I'm always cautious until more evidence is released. I never try to invalidate victims, but I want the evidence before I take a side, you know? Anyway, based on the evidence I found (of course I didn't go through the period of never being sure of the validity), Woojin wasn't guilty. Isn't guilty. One account was found to be lying with a stolen photo from a photographer and the other suddenly disappeared. That to me is suspicious. I get talking about assaults is scary and uncomfortable, but I would want my name out there as a victim because I would know my story is true. I would hide only out of guilt for lying. Now that's me, but hiding being anonymous accounts is generally how trolls work, so... I'm cautious around stuff like that. I just, after all the research I did, couldn't see Woojin as guilty. The evidence against him wasn't substantial enough (and I've heard multiple stories that it was a couple of people getting revenge because they were mad about him leaving SKZ).

As for him leaving Stray Kids, I'm still pondering that one. I've gotten a range of reasons why he left from other stays. With it happening the way it did and there being no real response to it by JYP or SKZ (that I have found), it allows people to create their own ideas. The people making videos of "proof" of him bullying the other guys bother me because it almost feels like those video-makers haven't spent time with a bunch of guys. Sure, some of his actions come off a bit more aggressive, but I've not seen anything that makes me concerned, I guess. I'm just surprised because Lee Know is a bit aggressive with them sometimes and no one seems to care at all. I think it's just something people conjured up because people want answers. If there isn't an answer, we make one. Now, I haven't watched a ton of evidence about the way Woojin treated the other members, but what I have seen doesn't give me the impression he bullied them. Again, I see current members tease and "bully" each other quite similarly... a lot like a bunch of guys who are friends and spend a lot of time together. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I honestly don't have much more to say about Woojin other than the comments on his looks are extremely rude. He's cute. His features aren't as soft as you'd expect, but they don't make him unattractive at all. When I first found Stray Kids, I didn't think Lee Know, Changbin, or I.N were cute at all. That's changed because of their personalities coming through making them adorable and cute, but just because I didn't find them cute didn't mean they weren't. The same goes for Woojin.

Also, I really think he was the strongest vocalist in SKZ. He held notes well in live performances and his voice is well-rounded. Seungmin and I.N are great vocalists for SKZ, I love their voices, and both are strong in their talent, but Woojin was by far the best vocalist. I am glad though that with him leaving, Seungmin has really stepped into the role of lead vocalist because he has so much talent. 💜

This all I really have on Woojin. I don't actively seek out news on him because I really don't have an attachment to him at all. I just know he was in SKZ and isn't now. But I don't agree with the hate given to him at all. It's inappropriate and wrong. No one deserves that kind of attack from anyone.

Thanks for letting me put out my two cents on this. I know not many will agree or care what I have to say about Woojin, but I really wanted to speak up about him. Again, if you are going to respond with hate, you will be ignored and your comment deleted.
