Thanks for the translation. Sorry, haven't had time to reply. It's been a hectic couple of days, both on and off line. XD
But this article does put some perspective into the press con. I think most Japanese media would be with KATTUN on this one because I think Japanese people in general have a very strong group mentality. And to go off like that and "abandon" his group, that wouldn't sit well with a LOT of people.
It sounds like the 5 of them, and the fans, have bonded over this, so I guess it's somewhat of a positive thing? TBH, after he left the group, the whole group dynamics finally MAKES SENSE again!
