The veteran producer maintained in his Facebook post that people shouldn’t be too quick to criticize BINI as they aren’t defined by a single episode in their life.
“Just like all of us, no one is perfect. Living life in front of an audience is incredibly difficult. There’s often no room for mistakes—but being faultless is humanly impossible. So let’s not be quick to criticize or condemn,” he wrote.
Jonathan added that everyone has been in “low places” in their lives as well at some point. For him, it’s in these tough experiences that help people grow as better people–– something he hopes critics of BINI can recognize.
“Remember that who we are is often shaped by our missteps. Don’t judge anyone based on a single episode of their life. At some point, we’ve all found ourselves in low places too. So please, be more compassionate. What truly matters is how we rise, how we grow, and how we become better through those experiences,” he added.
The music producer shared that he has seen the true character of the eight-member group and will always be there to support them.
“That journey—of falling, learning, and rising—is what makes someone a real role model. I’ve seen the kindness and genuine character of the BINI girls with my own eyes. They’re the real deal—and I’ll always be cheering them on with all my heart,” he ended.
