the way people actively choose to ignore that fact that Matthew grew up in a different culture and now is being expected to naturally fit into a new one is absolutely crazy to me
i know we talk about the deyassification of hanbin but we really need to talk about the yassification of matthew… he went from looking like he listens to sicko mode on repeat to now only listening to what is love
the weirdos who think matthew needs “media training” seem to completely ignore the fact that he isn’t fluent in korean which probably causes a lot of these “unfiltered moments”
half of these “issues” happen due to the fact that’s he’s in real time navigating new situations and scenarios that he’s never encountered before. the other half is due to the fact that he can’t 100% express himself in the way he wants bc it’s not his first language
friends if we get interim voting tmrw and matthew is high please don’t drop him to vote for other people! it’s still very early in the voting period so literally anything could happen between now and the final!
jiwoong and matthew and the rest of jebe all deserve to get opportunities to show themselves with and without the group! you obviously dgaf about the other members if you’re complaining about them going on a show in the same manner as other groups
i hope seokryudans realize that the reason we keep emphasizing ONLY voting for matthew isn’t to make you feel bad, but to make you realize that if we don’t vote for him no one will. he literally only has us. no filler votes. no pity votes. ONLY US
and since some people don’t get it, i’ll stop being optimistic for a moment and say this:
matthew is at high risk of not debuting considering his current rank and loss of support from both k and g voters.
Whatever you’re doing now boost it x2 for the next few days
but for some reason people seem to purposefully leave out this context and act like he was born in korea, is fluent in the language, and has no issues at all navigating idol culture. it’s clear that he wasn’t even that interested in kpop until a few years ago yall pmo
i’m not engaging with weirdos on here today so i’ll just say this-
matthew and gunwooks lack of schedules this promotion period is extremely upsetting. the fact that gunwook got nothing (i’m not counting a 90 sec clip) is absolutely heartbreaking.
sometimes it’s really hard to talk about mistreatment of members tho bc some ppl just automatically assume that you wanting better for them means you automatically dislike other members. idk if that makes any sense
i feel like i shouldn’t have to say this but i need seokryus to realize that whether we like it or not our actions on here impact how people perceive mtw so constantly setting him up for h8t3 makes you look stupid
and with seokryus bringing up the lack of content we get from matthew, i just want to acknowledge that it isn’t just an issue with matthew. wakeone simply can’t manage their groups correctly and that’s been made abundantly clear
seokryudans i want to warn you that the pannchoa article is going to cause a lot of shit… please refrain from using other trainees in order to defend mtw and stick to being kind even if it’s frustrating

imagine this happening to you all while you’re thousands of miles from home. like it makes me sick to think about how much stress he’s under. i hope people are happy that they’re ruining the career and life of someone who just wants to pursue their dream
If you see posts about the truck protest outside Mnet please try not to engage with the tweet or articles that come out! The truck itself isn't mentioning specific trainees to my knowledge, but articles probably will. Theres no stopping it atp so lets just work hard
Can seokryus collectively agree to not post ccs that end up just spreading more hate for matthew 🫶🏻 atp it’s pretty much confirmed that the members see stuff on here so posting ccs that otherwise would be kept out of the public just fuels the fire imo
y’all saying he isn’t being treated badly by netizens when i’ve seen literal d3ath threats be sent to him over this situation??? i agree that other trainees were bashed on this show for stup1d reason but that doesn’t mean we can’t defend mtw??
matthew saying he wanted to keep subvocal 1 because half of the lyrics were in english (which is his mother language)... he must have been desperate, afraid of not standing out, and also wanted to impress his mom. please don't judge him, this is a survival show after all
just a psa (less about op and more about ppl in replies)- asking someone to fully out ppl who live in a pretty homophobic country is so extremely damaging even if you think it’s “obvious” who it is! this is true even it’s in your circles or not
Matthew of
@_mnetboysplanet
has been spotted at the streets of Hongdae in Seoul, surrounded by his avid fans. Have fun shopping today and see you back on the show! 🥰

when you really break it down it’s ridiculous that rosins feel the need to be so horrible. hao is almost guaranteed to debut so i really don’t know what they get out of being the scum of the earth on here? why do you feel so threatened when all we want is for matthew to debut
the moment we stop voting for matthew is the moment he loses the chance to debut. idc if u have to steal a phone atp. VOTE. if you only have one device there’s hundreds of polls being posted every hour to vote on
i need people to understand that mnet putting out that statement was only to save their own ass bc they’d probably never be able to have another survival show if they were caught ri66ing
bc genuinely i see abt 15 twts a day saying “[blank] was stolen from matthew by [blank]” or just weird twts implying that bc hao and bin are friends, somehow that reduces matt and bins friendship to literal dust? idk i’m just over it if y’all r gonna be weird leave him out of it
honestly think a major issue with boys planet and kpop in general is that y’all truly don’t see them as humans. you get to hide behind a screen and say whatever you want because you expect them to live up to unrealistic standards that are impossible to meet
i don’t want to insinuate anything but i need y’all to know that your words have real life consequences especially now that we know Mtw knows about the h8t3. the amount of stress this show causes in general + the amount of h8t3 he’s been getting is probably so mentally taxing
after today i hope seokryudans become more serious in protecting matthew <3 daily reminder to prioritize him in 1pick and never rotate votes as he needs them all!
poor thing is literally translating to the best of his ability 24/7 and might not know the best ways to answer questions especially when they put him in awkward situations
i know this won’t stop the h8t3 (there’s already ppl not believing the article) but i hope this at least shows that ppls weird vendetta against him is even more baseless than before
and to my fellow zeroses on here who might not bias matthew- i’m 100% side eyeing you from now on because not saying anything about how horribly matthew gets treated is just as bad as saying horrible things yourself
stop putting the members into your strange “the other woman”/“homewrecker” tropes it’s weird and so incredibly inappropriate considering you know almost nothing about these people
genuinely if you think matthew needs media training or feel some sort of way about him actively trying to overcome a language barrier, i need u to sb me rn
seokryudans i beg and plead for you not to pity or panic vote anyone besides matthew. we truly have no idea where he is in the ranking and we should trust other fandoms to get their picks back up!
it’s literally almost always only seokryudans protecting him i’m so sick of it. especially when a good portion of us defend members we might not even bias. like what’s the point of being ot9 atp
honestly this whole situation makes me feel sick so i’m off for now. the fact that seokryus have to come to matthew’s defense over his whole fucking existence makes my heart hurt so fucking much. he doesn’t do anything wrong and yet people always have something to say
idc if you jokingly ship ppl together bc it can be fun and silly but there r definitely ppl on here who think their faves are genuinely dating and that’s so weird to me
i think the main reason i defend matthew so heavily is because in a week from today half of twitter won’t give af about the h8t3 that was sent to him but he most likely will have to deal with the impact of this for weeks or even longer
friends pls don’t spread videos of mtw that might not have been shared with his or his families consent! his family has said they don’t want videos or pictures to be spread so please respect that
matthew isn’t an “eloquent” or “perfect” enough idol not because he’s actively doing anything wrong, but because the standards you hold these people to is genuinely unattainable and unreasonable
matthew is one of the kindest idols i’ve ever seen and he gets paid literal dirt in return. it genuinely makes me feel so sick thinking about how horribly he gets treated
not to mention hanbin and hao just got to do the tingle interview which was great! but let other members of the group also have an opportunity to showcase themselves without you complaining, please and thank you ❤️
