    It’s not something abnormal that a sa victim actually ends up in a relationship with their attacker. It’s a way to cope with the trauma. When the trauma is so overwhelming the victim thinks “well if i am in a relationship with them, what just happened is actually ok and not traumatizing”

      Very true. Long term, this cycle of abuse continues as a way to make them feel trapped and isolated. The attacker does something to hurt the victim, apologizes or love bombs them in a honeymoon phase, lets it cool off, and it repeats. Kris Wu is basically a serial abuser who used his status as a celebrity to hurt these girls.
      Women and people who make it out of these situations can be resilient, but still very hurt. I’m glad DMZ was able to find the strength to fight for herself and the other victims.

    I don't care about Kris Wu. But DMZ is an incredible and brave woman. It takes so much courage to stand up to your abuser, and she did this not just for her sake, but for the sake of Kris's other victims. And she did this online, and we all know how ruthless the internet can be. She is amazing. And so smart of her to take that contract to a lawyer!

    Not just DMZ, but all the victims were very brave to come out with their experience with Kris, whether publicly or by privately reaching out to DMZ. Angelababy also deserves credit for looking out for Jin Mai. After all, she's been a model in the industry since she was very young herself, and has probably experienced a lot of creepy actions and words from inappropriate men. The fact that she immediately noticed the red flags from Kris and protected Jin Mai every time while under the pressure of having to do that all on camera and having to also make it all sound "light" so as not to offend Kris or his fans, she did an amazing and wonderful thing stepping up for Jin Mai! I wonder how she felt after the allegations about Kris and his conviction. Kudos to all these brave women ❤❤

They recently sued and were able to get out of their contracts. They are remaining together as a group and are currently looking for a new company. I would love to help spread their voices even farther. The boys held a press conference after they returned home after having to pay for their own flights with their personal funds. They still have legal proceedings left in regard to getting compensation but they have been freed to continue their actives without being tied to their former company

I remember Baekhyun poking fun at Kris about him crying for his mom and wanting to go home. A lot of fans called out Baekhyunnie for being insensitive and being an ahole. I kind of felt bad for Kris at the time since he was a foreigner but looking at this case and how his mom acted towards him just blows my mind. And he left before their first concert without warning making everyone reorganize the entire event. On top of the ridiculous hate EXO was getting from antis, his leaving hurt EXO. And he's hurting them again by still being mentioned in articles as an ex member when that was a long time ago and they have nothing to do with his scandal.

      @@claire4212 yuck talking about how much they love Him, there's no evidence, no minors , all lies , we believe you, you would never, 🤮🤮🤮 people spamming 50 messages about how the CCP won't get away with this and they stand with him. You go to his most recent picture you'll see. Like 5 people saying eww and 90000 really slobbing his toothpick

      Exactly that's why I'm like... when people say they wanna marry or sleep with their idols, I can't relate cuz you never actually know them.

    As someone who watched the 18268283 exo member teaser trailers and then watching them debut & everybody instantly loved him & his deep voice in songs to being shocked at school when rumours came that he departed the group, all the kpop fans in my school huddled together… to this 💀 I am truly speechless and could not have predicted this trajectory

    When I was in the Army and busy all the time your mukbangs made me feel less alone. I come from a big family where dinner was our time to let loose and connect. Lol, I started watching with your crab videos. I’d order a whole steam pot so I could just “hangout” with you guys 😂😂😂

    when kris left exo, i cried (i was and still am an exo-l). looking back, i'm glad he left and i'm so glad he was brought to justice because we would never have known this. good on DMZ for being brave

    Kinda funny how most of the comments are about the Kris Wu guy and not DMZ. That girl went through hell to bring this to light. Props to her and everyone involved in getting justice and giving the creepy douchebag some jail time.

    I'm so glad you're talking about him! He was my bias in EXO and I was into his solo work. When the allegations first came out, I didn't know what to say or believe because people make up fake stories all the time. But as soon as more stuff came out, I was done. Deleted all of his solo music, and I'm glad he got the punishment he deserves

    • @akuhappy3246

      Never support his solo work back then. Especially after he choose to left exo. But i know he is so famous in china several years ago.
