I have so many thoughts running through my head, but there’s one thing I want people to understand. If Dunk were the only one posting things that made us think he was still holding on, I would understand why some people might question him. But Joong reciprocated those moments for days, too, and that hurt us just as much. We cannot focus on Dunk’s actions while ignoring Joong’s. I’m not saying Dunk is completely blameless, but neither is Joong. We saw their interactions, and we felt the hope they gave us. We cannot put all the blame on one person when both were part of those moments. Have we ever stopped to think about what Dunk might be going through? I saw the change in him, the way the spark in his eyes seemed to fade. This is someone who loves his sleep, yet we’ve seen him active at four in the morning, reposting things that make us wonder what’s going through his mind. I can’t claim to know exactly how he feels, but I see someone who may be struggling to accept a painful reality. Maybe he’s still holding on to the love and memories he shared with Joong. Maybe he’s not ready to let go. What some people see as giving us false hope could simply be someone trying to process a loss he never expected. I also wonder if Dunk has been dealing with this pain silently for months. His long periods of silence, the notes he shared, and the times he wasn’t feeling well may have been signs that he was struggling, although we can never know for sure. We only see a small part of their lives, and we shouldn’t assume we understand everything happening behind the scenes. People process pain differently. Some speak about it, some stay quiet, and some try to carry on as if everything is fine. That’s why I don’t think it’s fair to blame Dunk entirely while ignoring Joong’s part in what we’ve witnessed. I’m not blaming Joong for his decisions, either. They both have their own feelings, and neither of us knows the full story. We can acknowledge that their actions hurt us without turning either of them into the villain. We don’t have to decide who hurt whom more or who is more deserving of sympathy. At the end of the day, Joong and Dunk are both hurting in ways we may never fully understand. DungJangs are hurting, too, and even some solo fans are grieving because they genuinely loved seeing them together. We all have different ways of coping, but that doesn’t mean we should turn against one another. Please remember that they’re only 25. Whatever we call their relationship, it’s clear that they shared a deep bond and were an important part of each other’s lives. They built memories, routines, and experiences together. Losing that closeness can hurt tremendously, whether we understand their relationship as romantic or otherwise. We shouldn’t judge them without considering the context or remembering that we don’t know everything that happened between them. We don’t have to blame one person to acknowledge another person’s pain. We can support Dunk without making Joong our enemy, and we can wish Joong well without dismissing what Dunk might be going through. We can be heartbroken without hurting each other in the process. We all want answers because it’s difficult to accept something we never expected. But right now, perhaps we need to stop pointing fingers and give them both the kindness they deserve. We may never know the whole story, and we have to respect that some things are theirs to keep private. Joong and Dunk deserve grace, and so do we. We can continue to love them both, even as we learn to accept what has changed. ❤️‍🩹
