So after Grid Ent. announced Leo (ex-Trainee A) signed with them, and suddenly people online started celebrating like we all forgot why he left the industry in the first place. Let’s get the facts straight: Leo didn’t step back because of “industry mistreatment.” He left because people were horrified by his own lyrics. He wrote and uploaded a rap about strangling a woman who wanted his money. This wasn’t edgy teenage rebellion - he was 19, a legal adult, and he chose to share it proudly. these were his lyrics btw: ain't nobody gon tell me why that b***h stopped breathing f*** that h** in my bank, yeah that sh** stopped breathing tell that b***h, took that b***h to the store ain't nobody gon tell me why that b***h stopped breathing ain't nobody gon tell me why that b***h stopped breathing f*** that h** in my bank, yeah that sh** stopped breathing There were more I think but I can't find them Now, here’s where it gets frustrating. Hannah Bahng publicly defended him on X: “i would never be friends with a misogynist. … i had an in depth convo with him abt this when we first interacted and if you knew the whole story you would see him in the same light i see him.” This was manipulative for a few reasons: “Don’t judge based on what you hear online” – girl, we didn’t hear rumors. We heard the actual lyrics from his mouth. This wasn’t gossip, it was evidence. “If you knew the whole story…” – what “story” could possibly make fantasizing about choking a woman okay? That framing made fans feel like they were being irrational when in reality, we weren’t misunderstanding anything. Saying “I’d never be friends with a misogynist” while defending a guy who literally put misogyny into his art doesn’t add up. Of course Leo isn’t going to act misogynistic in a one-on-one chat with her — that’s not how misogyny presents itself. Here’s the thing like people can change. If Leo truly had grown, then the right move would’ve been to acknowledge his mistake, admit the lyrics were violent and harmful, and show accountability. But instead, his defenders acted like nothing happened and painted critics as “judgmental.” That isn’t growth that’s just erasure. Its bizarre seeing how much hate Chan gets over the smallest, most baseless controversies, while Hannah went out of her way to excuse Leo’s misogynistic lyrics and shift blame onto the fans for “not knowing him." and people were then piling on Chan for something he had nothing to do with? Ofcourse the day he publicly supports Leo I'm out of the fandom but rn he hasn't and there's no reason to hate him. Saying “he was just 19” also doesn’t fly. 19 is an adult. Being upset or angry doesn’t make it normal to fantasize about killing women. Writing and posting those lyrics revealed the person he was at the time, and pretending it was just a “misunderstanding” is insulting to everyone who took issue with it. At the end of the day, good looks and second chances shouldn’t erase the fact that Leo put out a track bragging about killing women. That was the issue then, and it still is now. And Hannah’s attempt to gaslight fans into thinking they were overreacting only made the whole thing worse. And I keep seeing sudden love for this guy who literally fantasized about choking women, all because he was "in a bad mood" (?? wtf) like be fr are the people who voted for him 12? submitted by /u/Any_Contribution8287 [link] [comments]
Hannah Bahng defending Leo still doesn’t sit right with me
