Title: ONEWSTYLE's Left Handed was not a sasaeng
Hello.
This is Fantasister, Keysyou, KeyTime, and Beautiful Days.
We are posting this after giving it a lot of thought.
It’s a long post but please read it to the end.
We met ONEWSTYLE’s master, Left Handed, as a SHINee fan, and we spent 4 years together. The long-established Onew fansite ONEWSTYLE’s master is a dongsaeng we love and we spent time with more than our own families. Although this may make things more rowdy, we want to clear up the misunderstandings about Left Handed now.
It’s almost been a year since the Onewstyle incident. We hope Left Handed will forgive us for revealing the truth now even though we were friends who were as close as family. We’ll say in advance that not even one of these words is a lie.
The most important point we want to address is the sasaeng stories that disturbed several Onew fans. Unlike what those who hid behind anonymity said, Left Handed was not a malicious sasaeng of Onew.
“In order to stalk him, Left Handed reserved a seat next to Onew in a business class flight and Onew put his blanket over himself.”
-Was the person who said the one who was in the same business class flight on the same day with Onew and Left Handed? Who exactly witnessed this? Not even the people who traveled together knew this, so who spread this story? Is it even possible to reserve a seat beside a member?
“After a performance, Onew had a 1:1 with Left Handed, being angry at her and telling her to stop.”
-What kind of performance was it that a busy SHINee member could meet 1:1 with a fan? It’s been confidently said that there are more than just one or two people who saw this, but in which performance did Onew separately meet Left Handed to lecture her? This is something that we didn’t even know, and we were always beside Left Handed.
“How did Left Handed know about a schedule that others didn’t and take pictures? Isn’t that something you find out only if you’re following behind them?”
-Why does she have to explain everything about how she found out their broadcast schedule through a friend who works as a staff member? If you accuse her of being a sasaeng because she went to a schedule you didn’t know about, does she become a sasaeng even though she wasn’t?
When we saw those anonymous boards that fake eyewitness accounts were pouring out of, we wondered how it was possible for people to act so spitefully. How can they say those lies so easily, saying they saw it with their own eyes and writing truth that isn’t even the truth? What did Left Handed do to you, whose face she didn’t even know, that you stir up people with these lies?
It was agonizing for us to watch while we were beside her, but the hardest part was knowing that the pain that Left Handed was receiving was the biggest. The time she spent and love she gave since she was 20 years old as Onewstyle’s master Left Handed were all being unjustified. Rather than maintaining her site, we thought it would be less hard on Left Handed if she closed her site so that’s what we suggested to her as her friends. When she finished wrapping up the goods orders, she closed Onewstyle.
Onew knows more than anyone else that Left Handed was not his sasaeng, so you don’t have to try and make these non-sasaeng things into sasaeng ones.
Like Left Handed revealed, her close relationship with the member’s parents started when she gave them a calendar at their store which was open to everybody and where many fans visited. His parents wanted to share it with their close ones so she went again to give them more calendars. After that, she occasionally contacted and met with them and that is all. Not all of fans go and visit a member’s parents, but that doesn’t mean his parents didn’t like it and that Left Handed was the only one who went to visit.
The spiteful people who spread false rumors about her said that she went to the member’s house to make kimchi and visited his parents when they felt burdened by it and they are all lies.
You could tell just hearing them over the phone how much they loved her, always saying “Our daughter, our daughter” and telling her to visit since they miss her when she was busy with her schedules. They gave her so much affection that they would even call her up first. They were glad to see Onew’s pictures and even encouraged her a lot to take nice pictures.
If the reason why she met up with his parents is to pry for stories about his life, then that would be invading Onew’s private life as you people have been insisting. But Left Handed was relaying stories to his parents about his promotions so if you insist that this is also invading his private life, you are being pretty stubborn.
There was a time when Left Handed uploaded a picture on her personal Twitter account of kimchi that her family was making at their home. Left Handed barely knew how to make ramen. These unbelievable speculations came from people who googled her personal account and used her pictures to create a sasaeng scandal. Like how the private life of the member you like is important, a master’s private life is his/her own so it deserves to be respected. We say this because there seems to be many people who believe that finding and backtracking pictures from a private account and creating malicious rumors is not an invasion of privacy.
She started taking pictures of another group’s member on January 2012. But it happened a few times when that other group had a schedule and SHINee didn’t. And all she did was upload pictures without a logo on a blog that only she would view.
At the ending of the MBC Gayo Daejejun on December 31st, some fans said were surprised because when they were watching fancams of Onew, the two were caught on camera together. They found the capture photos she uploaded on her private, protected account and provided it as proof.
We will say this without a grain of lie.
The people that only saw the photos could have been upset because they thought she filmed the two of them together. But if you see the explanation that she wrote with the photos, she commented that she was surprised that they were filmed together when she looked back in her video. (If she took a video of another group’s member, that video can’t be uploaded anywhere.
If you think just a little, isn’t it pushing it to say that she filmed the two of them together on purpose?)
There were anonymous people who disguised themselves and spread anonymous replies that said that she took photos of that member since the 2011 Fall Idol Olympics. There were posts that said she was a traitor who changed her mind from the start, went to another group’s fandom and said she is the master for Onewstyle, said she would buy the member goods to support other groups, and other rumors. There were people who said their friend heard or saw this and it’s ridiculous if you think about it. If those people who heard and saw have something to say, please meet us personally to prove it to us.
We believe that taking photos of another group’s member is the master’s personal life. However, Let Handed admitted that it was her fault on being negligent about managing the goods she was selling at the time, and she had apologized later. (Her confirmation replies for the payment on the goods was late, but her goods selling time period wasn’t delayed, and she gave the money back to those who wanted refunds.)
We are aware of the huge controversy surrounding the Naver Happy Bean. A member of Onewstyle proposed to have a Happy Bean and linked the one she created. The money was donated to a community relief center in Kwangmyeong every year as a scholarship for Onew’s alma mater juniors. Left Handed has absolutely never donated the money that fans collected in the Happy Bean under Onewstyle’s name.
From the first donation until the third donation in 2011, the money was donated under the name “SHINee Onew’s Personal Fanclub”. At a commemorative event, the relief center asked for their participation this year as well and she said she was thankful that they could donate under the name “SHINee Onew’s Personal Fanclub”.
This matter could have been confirmed with one phone call but instead, people said that the Happy Bean was donated under Onewstyle’s name and that she shamelessly stole what fans contributed together. I still remember the comments that kept going on about that. We’ll say it again but the name Onewstyle was never mentioned in the donation or to the charity.
She knew that overseas fans had a hard time viewing videos on paid domestic sites so she began using Youtube. People criticized Onewstyle and said absurd things like, “You don’t spend any money on your account.” How is uploading to Youtube something to be criticized about?
How can other Onew fans mock her for having a similar outfit and hairstyle to Onew at the Rock Of Ages musical so she could enjoy herself?
We ask this to the people who speculated that she didn’t upload data in order to raise money through DVDs. Have you ever left a comment showing your appreciation for a video or picture that Left Handed uploaded onto Onewstyle? The reason why she attended countless overseas schedules was because she wanted to capture Onew’s images that existed only in that moment. There were only overseas schedules in 2011. You know the truth of how Onewstyle’s index page always had captures of Onew in his overseas schedule but why do you pretend like you don’t know?
Left Handed’s Kakaotalk profile picture and ID and even Nate ID were posted on an anonymous message board. To the people who criticized her, are those actions really something to do for Onew’s sake?
You were insane about criticizing and bringing Left Handed down, so didn’t you write things that never happened as things you witnessed and made it into reality? Out of the people who made Left Handed out to be a sasaeng and trash lower than a human being, how many are there who typed on their keyboard with 100% certainty about Left Handed’s actions?
We ask this as unnies who are like family to Left Handed. You slandered Left Handed publicly as 1 vs many by crowding your opinions, so we are asking you publicly as well.
We are asking everyone who worked hard to spread false truths, including the twitter accounts Sweet Rabbit @onewla and @zzuccumi (current master of an Onew homepage). [T/N: @zzuccumi was taken out after they cleared up misunderstandings.]
What did Left Handed do so wrong to you, whose faces she didn’t even know, that you had to make her the target of witch hunting? She was called the embarrassment of the fandom and we are at a loss of what to say because of your details to prepare the same thing in English and in Japanese. We didn’t let it be because we didn’t know. We covered it up because Left Handed was so hurt and was having a hard time. We hoped that she would be hurt a little less.
We want to meet you once and hear it. Don’t we have to know why you created malicious rumors and bothered Left Handed?
In order to bring someone down, you bring up sasaengs which is the most sensitive topic of a fandom, create malicious rumors, and try so hard to drive the person away. Is this for the sake of the member you cherish and love so much or is it for your own satisfaction? Isn’t this a fandom that enjoys things together and not a muddy fandom that creates malicious rumors such as these and goes witch hunting?
Why is your judgement right and why does it become the standard of distinguishing right from wrong? How can you say that she is sasaeng because she is sasaeng according to your standards and how can you be so confident of your standards? If your standards are sasaeng, then all of you who talk as if you know everything about Onew are sasaengs as well.
For Left Handed, it had always been Lee Jinki, SHINee’s Onew, before all else and she wanted him to shine. That’s probably how she was able to put 4 years into this.
“Unni, I like Jinki a lot and I definitely want to capture Jinki’s important moments. That’s why taking pictures and videos of Jinki is so fun.”
We want to say Left Handed’s honest words for her like this at least. It would be nice if anybody could understand how happily and sincerely Left Handed captured Onew.
Like the rumor that many of you have heard, Left Handed was suddenly diagnosed with acute myelocytic leukemia. She received treatments twice and was discharged. After three bone marrow transplants, she left the world at the end of December.
From March to December, we considered ourselves her guardians for those 9 months. We ate and slept beside her as she battled the disease. She is precious to us like family and we love her.
The malicious rumors didn’t know an end even as she battled the disease. From the rumor of how she isn’t on good terms with her family so a close unni nurses her to the rumor of how she went to take pictures of Superstar K4 during the time it was impossible for her to even move....
For what reason did people bother Left Handed when they didn’t even know her face? It’s said that people build their sin with their words and their actions. How do you think you’re going to pay for all your sins after slandering someone else with lies and making her have such a hard time?
What she wished for the most as she fought the illness was that although she was sick at the moment, she wanted to take pictures and make videos like she used to. It’s obvious that one would want to do again what she used to do happily.
Left Handed was made into a sasaeng and chased out of the fandom. How could she possibly happily looked at Onew like she did before she was sick? But we knew that Left Handed was always curious about news regarding Onew so we would capture Onew’s moments as well and show them to her. (With the exception of guardians, the hospital did not allow visitations. She managed a small personal site for the other group's member which gave her comfort and made her at ease. As her friends, we can say this confidently because she gained strength from it.)
During the time after her second treatment when she was out of the hospital, she went to see SHINee’s concert on July 21st. She has always wanted to hear “Passionate Goodbye” with Onew’s voice and it was even Onewstyle’s bgm at one point. Left Handed bawled when she saw the performance and it’s still vivid in our eyes. We promised that once she gets discharged, we would do all the things we want without caring about what other people thought. We can no longer keep that promise.
As she left, we held onto the body of the child who didn’t move. We told her that she was kind so she should forgive, forget, and go on. Resentment that we couldn’t even target spread deep in our hearts. We feel horrible for being unable to say a word about how it wasn’t true so if there is anyone who will believe in Left Handed at least now after reading this, we have uploaded this long text for you.
After discussing over the Onew materials that Left Handed captured but did not release,
we have decided to upload them little by little on the Onewstyle Youtube that Left Handed couldn’t bring herself to delete.
They are her happiest memories and that is why we are sharing them. People who don’t like it don’t have to watch. People who aren’t interested don’t have to be interested. Just bear in mind that we are not uploading these videos for people who don’t like it to watch. (There are people who cut out Onewstyle’s logo and re-upload the video. Please refrain from these senseless actions.)
Only people who want to share the image of the Onew that Left Handed wanted to be with should watch.
If anyone is curious about other details, please contact us through the email below.
We will not take personal opinions on the matter.
We want her to know that the 4 years of memories of liking Onew wasn’t in vain so she won’t feel wronged in her final moments. We earnestly request that you do not hurt someone who has already left the world with unconfirmed malicious rumors to the end.
This text along with uploaded materials on Youtube will be held responsible by Fantasister, Keysyou, KeyTime, and Beautiful Days.
