of course it’s sad that chan’s leaving victon i’m sad too but he should’ve thought before drunk driving. it’s his fault.

i think, for the sake of the rest of victon’s careers, the best option is that chan leaves the group. take it or leave it. if you love him too much that you can’t imagine victon without him after he did something illegal and stupid, then i encourage you to look for help
