This ONE MADE ME CRY. I genuinely felt emotions and their realness and rawness in this episode. I’m glad they got to open up to the public. And Chaeryeong struggling with the hate comments on not being “pretty enough” or the “reason” itzy isn’t stanned cause she’s in it. Made me so sad that she has to read these articles and comments since the start of her career. No wonder she doesn’t like being centre of attention, when all she ever gets is hate for her looks. I would struggle a lot myself too. I relate with her a lot personally. When I was younger I would get called a 'pretty boy', which made me struggle, and think 'is that all I am?', that made me want to not be 'pretty' anymore, I fell into this mind set to avoid getting complimented, so I gained a lot of weight in the process. now all I get is 'he would be much prettier if he was skinnier' 'I would fancy him is he lost weight'. Now I myself have been wanting to be pretty again to get complimented, I noticed I lost confidence in myself, I alway stand behind people, I tend to not want to be in photos at all or I say no to alot of 'on camera' things. Anyway the point of my story is, I myself just like Chaeryeong have to just learn to love ourselves, the way we are, not change. I think Chaeryeong's story is one I relate to the most. Lia bringing up her dancing ability is the same. The constant hate she gets for being considered the “weakest dancer” and the whole “Lia is lazy” thing. I can’t imagine trying so hard every stage, every practice. Spending hours tryna showcase something, only for people to keep bringing you down. I want to give her a hug and say she's doing great, but a lot of people struggle and only get to see the 1 negative comment which sticks over the thousands who praise. I think her story of 'time heals' is very eye opening. Her's really made me reflect on the times, where time 'healed' me. Yuna's story made me realise that people all have some form of privilege, and everyone has it. which was a new idea I have never really thought off. it was opening to say the least. I think Yeji’s struggles are very specific and personal. I personally am a person who doesn’t struggle with opening up. But I know plenty who do. Even when she was talking. You could tell she opening up “the amount she wants to” over actually “OPENING UP”. She still is struggling. I’m proud Lia did something like a diary and gave it to Yeji, it shows the girls are there for each other even for the emotional stuff. It’s more then just “work”. They’re a team. Ryujin’s one was the most unique mindset. I think it changed my view on a lot of things. I would be the people who would probably gender idols with the comments “they’re the best girl group at dance” for example. Which now I just leave out the “girl” part. Because I never actually realised until Ryujin that there are artists and people who want to be known as more then what their gender puts a boundary to. It’s a small thing but it can mean a lot to someone else. It’s just so sad and the idols have to go through A LOT. Which is why I’m not surprised that many of them end up having mental health problems. Because people these days prefer to be edgy and hate over being a decent human and praising or just staying quiet. Not everything needs to be voiced 😤

im pretty sure chaeryeong got hate got hate by people in korea and even abroad because she didnt fit the standard in their eyes in terms of visuals so was her sister in izone. people would edit and cut chaeryeong out of group photos captioning itzy is 4 and her mom had to go online and ask the haters to stop.

There are so many ITZY things that really bring about that sense of healing for me. Any appearance they do where it seems like they're really being themselves? It's perfect. So many other groups might have good relationships, but ITZY are so supportive of one another that it ends up feeling a little like you're being supported by proxy. I've been a fan of Kpop since early second gen and they're the first artists to really break through that celebrity line and into people that I would actually like to know. There are certainly others individuals in groups I have enjoyed, but ITZY really is a complete package in so many ways. They're talented singers and dancers, they're all visuals, each one brings something ineffable with their personality... And for as great as their performances are, I'd watch them sit around and discuss whose turn it is to do the dishes because the respect they have for each other shows so clearly even as they're teasing each other.

I feel like I'm spamming comments today but I just wanted to say Happy Holidays PD (and anyone else reading)! Thank you for the joy you bring to our days :)

the amount of hatred that Chaeryeong has received from her debut until now is insane. People were calling her "ugly', comparing to the others members and talking about all kind of bullsh*t. To point where her mom had to put out a statement to defend her daughter. My heart broke into pieces after reading her words.

I have watched Letters To Midzy like one and a half years ago and didnt remember all of it, so this kinda hit hard. Also PD, hope you cheer up and have happy holidays, I was really shocked when you said people pay to stalk or hate on you here (even though knowing the internet and especially stan culture it shouldn't be surprising). Just wanted to say that I always really enjoy spending time watching your videos here and that they really help with enduring some rough times just like Lia said, so thank you :)

Some time ago, I posted some harsh words in the comments for a reaction video. I won't make excuses for why, the fact is I was an a**hole. I deleted them after a while, but it doesn't really matter, because some people had already read it. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. In the future I'll be much more careful with the words I throw into the world. I love you and your work, PD. And again, sorry if I've made the world even a little worse through my actions.

Really glad I got to watch this with you, PD! I think the clip of Ryujin floated around awhile ago when it first came out (because of the feminist undertones), but watching the whole video made me feel a lot more for Itzy, also much respect to them expressing all these feelings!

I agree with your take. Thank You for sharing your reaction and your thoughts. I often hear your comments and get surprised as to how closely we align in our perspectives. It's nice to see other people who look at things and understand them in a similar way.
