>>105885386Dude was basically the runt of Luxiem, but he (and Shu) were the only ones who actually put effort into the job. He made music videos, practiced dancing, etc. but never really took off and was just relegated to being Vox's sidekick or a joke. He apparently got left behind on luxiem trips to Japan, and fans would rarely say his name without including another luxiem member in the same sentence. He even lashed out at fans for the latter, which caused those individuals to get devoured by the other sisters for making a nijimale upset.
To put things in perspective, Ike only got ONE unique merch drop that wasn't part of a luxiem collection. One. Despite being one of the golden boys. And it was only released like a month before he vanished.
There's also the whole black stream thing, but who knows how much that actually affected him if he was ballsy enough to even join it.
