I know it’s 3 years after the fact but. Let’s not use mental health as an excuse for horrible behavior. He is ABSOLUTELY at fault for all of his horrendous actions. “He severely abused me but it’s ok because I know he was hurting too.” Does not validate someone’s actions. Yeah maybe his horrible environment can be a motivating factor. However at the end of the day we all have free will and he chose to take the actions he did and those faults lay solely on his shoulders.
i honestly feel kinda bad for yijun... like from how he was acting in the psych ward & his final lil monologue abt living for himself, he probably could've had a pretty normal life if he got the psychiatric care he needed. did he do a bunch of fucked up shit? yes. was it entirely his fault? not really! and aside from the fact that His Parents just completely ignored the VERY OBVIOUS signs that their son needed help and didn't exactly set a good example of how to deal with things themselves, the state he was in for most of the story really didn't seem like one where he was thinking rationally or making intentional choices, if that makes sense. like he prolly wouldn't have been fit to stand trial for most of the story.
