We would like to address the recent situation surrounding Changbin's answer interview. We understand that this is a sensitive topic and that everyone may have different feelings regarding the upcoming enlistment period. However, it is important to distinguish between expressing disappointment or concern and deliberately twisting someone's words to attribute intentions they never expressed. Bin was speaking about facing a difficult period together, emphasizing the importance of mutual support and reassuring STAY that they would do their best to make upcoming activities meaningful. His answer was never about suggesting that anyone is replaceable, that an absence does not matter, or that anyone's place within Stray Kids is less important. Having a different interpretation is perfectly valid. What is not acceptable is using that disagreement to justify personal attacks, degrading comments and harassment towards Changbin and the STAY who support him. This situation has gone beyond a simple discussion, and the hostility directed at him is neither fair nor justified. As STAY, we should be able to support all eight members without turning difficult situations into reasons for conflict. We should not have to attribute malicious intentions to one another or create narratives that were never part of the original statement. To everyone supporting Changbin, please don't let these accounts consume your time and energy. You don't have to argue or repeatedly explain yourselves. Block and report accounts spreading hate instead of giving them the attention they seek. Every interaction only gives them more visibility. Different interpretations should never become an excuse for disrespect. All eight members deserve our love, support and respect.
