Netizens are reacting to two former X1 members talking about the group's disbandment.
On an online community forum, a netizen posted screenshots of Han Seung Woo and Jo Seung Youn sharing their honest thoughts about having experienced the breakup of X1 due to vote manipulations.
As idols who already debuted once prior to X1, the two members confessed that it was hardest to see their fellow members who never even had the chance in the past. They said:
"We couldn't say anything. First, we couldn't even raise our heads. All the other members beside us also could not raise their heads. Instead of feeling sad, our heads went blank," said Han Seung Woo.
Jo Seung Youn, who goes by the name WOODZ, said, "We heard a lot of things from many people and spent our days under stress. Because I already debuted once before, I was worried about the other members who never had the chance to do so. Thinking about those friends who would have to go back to training, I told them to contact me whenever. There were some emotional issues, but I think I was more preoccupied with realistic concerns."
Under this post, netizens left comments such as:
"I can't believe young people had to suffer because of the adults' greed"
"What a trauma..."
"I'm too sad to even read this"
"I hope they all do well...At least X1 was ethical enough to disband"
"There were underage people in the group and all they did was suffer under the older people's greed for money, without any say"
"Especially since these two were truly voted by the public, I feel so bad"
"It's moving to read how they were more worried about their fellow members who never got to debut before"

I felt bad for Woo, if he didn't go Victon would have disbanded. I hate that people over looked their talented group. I feel like Victon was finally finding their sound and making great music and then bam they took Woo away. I am thankful that Victon toughed it out, I'm also happy that Woodz has been very successful as a soloist. Many other x1 members returning to activities, dongpyo in Mirae, Hangyul and Dohyon in Bae173, Yohan doing well in Wei, Eunsang doing well as a soloist, Minhee and Hyeongjun in cravity. It appears that most of the former X1 members are in groups now, or finally did debut in groups, I know Drippin is still fairly new etc. So it's nice they got a chance to become idols even after this mess. Seems like people don't take the time to think about the feelings of others when they pull stupid shit like this. Of course it was just a project group and would have only lasted 2 years, and makes you wonder what they would have done afterwards or where they would have ended up, but i still think it's wrong to play with the hearts and minds of those who are young and inexperienced. Why crush someones dreams just for money?
