Yes, a cautionary tale to not get involved at the (obviously) tail end of a fandom. But, yes, you are correct. Nine years is a long time. And they went to the White House and the UN and the Grammys. They did all kinds of things. Kpop is a very specific kind of industry, and I get the sense the last year they have been straddling both worlds (and not comfortably), their native Kpop industry and the larger world pop industry. And they will all need to do military service eventually. But, yeah, it sucks. I am going to be sad for a few days and then put it behind me.
