[7ndipity]

Get to know me

Thanks to @bethanysnow for tagging me!

❣ Who is your favorite Kpop group?❣

Bts and Stray Kids! There's several groups that I love, but these two hold a very special place in my heart💜

❣ Which member sparked your interest first?

I don't quite remember for Bts, but I'm pretty sure it was Namjoon. I was really drawn to his general style and aesthetic, as well as his solo work like Mono.

For Skz, it was Hyunjin, bc gifs of him kept popping up in my recommendations after the 'Oh' mv was released and I got curious and checked them out. So it's basically his fault for bringing me into this fandom, lol!

❣ Who was your first bias?

Yoongi and Chan

❣ Who is your current bias?

Yoongi and Chan(lol)

❣ What makes them your bias?

For Yoongi, he's the grandpa to my grandma energy, lol! Fr tho, I think it's bc he's so genuinely himself?? Like I love his dry humor, his writing style, his awkward tsundere energy, despite having such a soft heart🥺. Like, I will never understand how people think he's cold or indifferent, he's such a kind, loving person. I really admire his drive and passion for music, he's one of the people who inspired me to take back up writing. Idk, it's just everything.

For Chan, he's just super sweet and funny, and he clearly cares so much for everyone around him, from his group members to their crew/staff to the fans. He's also just soo relatable, and I really admire his dynamic with the fans, he feels like a best friend. I also really appreciate his honesty on tougher topics like self love and mental health. He's brought me so much comfort on tough days and makes me want to be a better person. Again, Idk, he's just Chris💜

❣ Who is your bias wrecker?

Literally EVERY OTHER MEMBER of both groups, lol! Like it's impossible not to love all of them!

❣ Which member(s) are you currently obsessing over that aren't your bias/bias wrecker?

For Skz, Minho(I blame @bethanysnow for helping fuel this lol) and a bit Han(the new curly hairstyle and the song covers he keeps posting on insta feel like a direct attack on me I swear)

❣ When did you first discover this group?

I'd been vaguely familiar with Bts for a few years, but it wasn't until my sister sent me some of their mvs back in 2020 that I started actively listening to their music.

For Skz, it was the summer of 2021, just after the 'Oh' mv was released, like I mentioned above.

❣ Have you ever been to one of their concerts?

No, but a girl can dream

❣ What are some of your favorite songs by the group?

Bts:

Paradise, The truth untold, Louder than bombs, Blood sweat tears, Zero 'o clock, Blue & gray, Pied piper, Jamais vu,

Skz:

Oh, Gone Away, Sorry I love you, Red lights, Chill, Cover me, Hello stranger, Waiting for us

Tagging @a-gayish-unicorn @crabby-libra @this-must-be-my-tardis and whoever else wants to play!

Who is your favourite Kpop group?

Bangtan Sonyeondan

Which member sparked your interest first?

Jungkook

Who was your first bias?

Jungkook

Who is your current bias?

Jungkook

What makes them your current bias?

I love every single BTS member, but Jungkook was the member that I truly got obsessed with. He has a heart of gold, and is a big inspiration in my life. I love his cute face and he has the most stunning set of eyes. I just think he's so adorable (he's sometimes shy) and he has this sense of humour. The sense of happiness I get when I see his beautiful smile - nothing could ever compare. Since I've known of him, he's been so ridiculously funny and charming. He's very sincere. I love watching him speak, interact and perform. Not to mention, he's incredibly talented. (Golden Maknae for life! 💘) I've always felt deeply connected and close to him on a different level.

Who is your bias wrecker?

Rap Monster. I love him and Jungkook as a duo. RM speaks very eloquently, is very funny, generous and charismatic. (He also makes an amazing visual). I am currently obsessing once again over his beautiful UN speech. His advocacy work is beautiful and it was easy to see he has a beautiful heart in the way he told ARMYs to love themselves. I also call to mind how splendid he was as a performer in his Fake Love role. He's a pleasure to watch and an immensely talented idol. It is thanks to his skills that I fell so in love with this boyband.

Which members are you currently obsessing over that aren't your bias/bias wrecker?

Jin

When did you first discover this group?

I discovered BTS in the summer of 2019. I remember the exact moment: it was when I discovered a Dionysus performance. I had never seen anything like it before. I thought that they were absolutely phenomenal and magnificent. Afterwards, I discovered their other songs and watched a whole bunch of interviews and I became a huge fan.

Have you ever been to one of their concerts?

I have been an ARMY since quite a while, but I only got desperate to actually go to a concert after the time that they enlisted. :((( I deeply regret the fact that I didn't try to go to a concert back in 2019 or so, but I had no idea what the future had in store. I know it will be next to impossible to get tickets when they come back, but of course I've got my heart set on being at a concert in 2025. And maybe I'll finally get to see Jungkook live.

What are some of your favorite songs by the group?

Lately I've been really into Truth Untold and Film Out. I'm in love with their entire discography though! 🩷🩷🩷

Build Up, Episode 7 Part 2 I guess: Team Lastplace versus Team Ballad

Ok, my loves! Welcome back for another recap of MNET’s Build Up! We’re jetting through the series at this point -- only three episodes after this! Is Nakka still stuck in your head? Because I woke up singing it. Anyway, in the previous post we transitioned from episode 6 to episode 7 and saw a ninth place team go up against a first place team. In this one, we’ll wrap up our third mission with our final 3x3 Death Match: Team Lastplace against Team Ballad. Let’s do this!

So, Dahee calls the guys up on stage and people are excited to see a big ballad show down.

The first team introduces themselves as “My Mr. Gwangseok”, which is a reference to the fact that the song they’re singing comes from the soundtrack to a drama called My Mister. 

You can tell that Gwangseok sort of wants to die. 

In the previous round, Lim Junhyeok and Yeo One performed My Sea and came in last place; new recruit Lee Gwangseok performed A Letter with Kim Seongjeong, and lost. Seongjeong was eliminated, unfortunately. 

LTR: Junhyeok, Gwangseok, Yeo One

The second team introduces themselves as Soul-Pow in reference to the fact that Inhwan was in the Power category and the other two were in Soul. 

LTR: Jaekyung, Inhwan, Donghun

In the previous round, Yoon Inhwan and Ma Jaekyung performed Take Me Back In Time and came in 3rd place; new recruit Donghun performed End of a Day with Sunyoul, and lost. 

The judges ask about song selection, triggering a flashback to the day that the surviving duos were able to recruit a third member from the ten sole survivors. 

We see that Donghun, sitting in the DMV, is hoping for Jeup’s team to choose him so he can avoid singing another mournful ballad -- while meanwhile the balladeers are talking about how much they really want him on their team. UH OH.

Donghun is like, well, I’m flattered, but also, I’m miserable.

They meet in an apparently unheated room with a… chalk board? Is that a chalk board? That can’t be a chalkboard. It has to be some sort of marker board or smart screen or something.

The other two keep suggesting old-fashioned ballad after old-fashioned ballad and Donghun is like, hey, here’s an idea: what if we sang something happy? The other two want to do what they’re good at. They discuss for quite a while (or at least, it’s edited to look like quite a while, but their cups don’t change position much so I don’t think THAT much time passes) and eventually Donghun gives in and says, ok, a ballad… And Jaekyung suggests doing an idol-ballad, which is at least kind of a compromise.  

Donghun suggests The Truth Untold by BTS. It is apparently inspired by an Italian folk tale, but it could also just be read as the anxiety that comes from showing your real self to a new love and fearing that they’ll reject you. 

Sample lyrics:

You know that I can’t show you me, Give you me I can’t show you my weakness So I’m putting on a mask to go see you But I still want you

A flower that resembles you Blossomed in this garden of loneliness I wanted to give it to you as I take off this stupid mask

But I know this can’t go on forever I must hide Because I’m ugly

It’s emotional, but not miserably sad. It’s a song of pining for someone, not mourning the death of a relationship.

The other two actually really love the suggestion and they begin practicing immediately. Either that or it’s a different day and Inhyuk is wearing the same s w e a t e r. 

This will come as a shock, but they really want to win! What? I know!!! It's wild.

The performance begins. 

Full version without reactions.

My thoughts:  

Overall, very nice. I admit, I’m not a BTS stan -- I like them a lot and enjoy a lot of their songs, but I’m not obsessed and I didn’t know this song well. Still, I’d heard it a few times and like it well enough. I think that, if anything, this version was more enjoyable than the original.

It’s weird to hear this song sung by someone like Inhyuk. But it mostly works, even if I think that his facial expressions are a bit much. 

He should add this to his busking repertoire -- I bet he’d get more tips! I think this is the most I’ve enjoyed an Inhyuk performance on the show. He toned down some of his more ballad-y mannerisms and for me it worked much better. 

Jaekyung, if anything, sings with *more* ballad-y mannerisms, and I still find his vocal tone a little nasal, but boy can he harmonize. 

I think Donghun has my favorite voice among the three. It’s smoothest and prettiest among the three with the least nasality. 

But all three have great power and breath control, and their voices work really well together. 

In the MNET edit, there’s nothing but love. Lots of shots of the judges sort of shaking their head in surprised approval. 

Solar has goosebumps! Either that or she is genuinely cold in the studio! Might be both! No way to know! 

When they’re done, several judges do the Korean throat-clearing-of-approval thing.  

Backstage, the maknae look genuinely touched.

It seems that most people are especially impressed with Donghun. 

The judges say…

Jaehwan immediately praises Donghun, saying, ���Singing each note so preciously maximized the story arc of the song.” Baekho, Jaehwan and VCG agree that Donghun is just sort of charming and likable on stage when he sings. 

Jaehwan has some criticism for Inhwan, who took some jazzy liberties with the rhythm in the second verse. Jaehwan wanted him to keep to the original rhythm. 

Wendy wished there’d been harmony in the beginning too since she liked the harmony so much in the end when it showed up. 

VCG says that when they took turns singing, the ones who weren’t singing looked distracted or disengaged, and it negatively impacted the performance.

That’s a good point, and backstage, Lee Minwook is like, that’s good advice for all of us. 

And with that, judging for the first team is over and the second team -- the last team to perform and also the last placed team -- comes up to perform. 

Immediately, the judges talk to Gwangseok about his unique but untrained voice, triggering a flashback to his experience on the show so far. He placed first in Voice check in, then he was a low-tier member for failing to control his voice, and then was saved despite being the reason his team lost. Then he was left for last when surviving duos recruited their third member. 

He was so glad to see Junhyeok and Yeo One when they went all the way to the DMV to get him and tell him that he was actually their first choice. 

I love how he’s so tall that the camera man can’t even get the top of his head in frame.

They’re not lying -- they did sincerely did want him. Junhyeok mixes some metaphors to explain, “If we can tame the wild horse, he’ll be a good weapon.” 

They meet up in a conference room to drink iced drinks -- drink warm drinks to take care of your throats, you dumb dumbs! -- and strategize.

Junyheok is back in a sweatshirt, which is such a power move. He’s like, yes, this was on the floor when I woke up. This is me. Yes. 

They ask Gwangseok what he wants to sing, and he basically says that he’s so worried about harmonizing with a team that he doesn’t even know what song to sing.

s w e a t e r 

Junhyeok is sympathetic and encouraging. He tells him, “If you present refined wildness, I think it’s a success. I’ll be able to help you.” 

They decide to go with a song called An Ordinary Day by Jung Seunghwan from the My Mister soundtrack.

The song itself is a basic k-ballad about trying to muddle on in the wake of a breakup. Sample lyrics: 

Drip drip, I’m trying to stop my falling tears As I pretend nothing is wrong I say hello to you And I start my day like that again I’m alright, Telling myself it’ll pass As I cover up the past As it builds up, I get used to it Days I can’t turn back easily I forgot about the beginning And I kept getting farther away That’s why I couldn’t tell you So another ordinary day passes

True to his promise, Junhyeok teaches Gwangseok how to sing, with really specific feedback. 

Aww, how cute is this --? Junhyeok playing the piano like a chorus teacher while they practice together. 

And it seems to really work. At the guys’ final check in, the staff say that Gwangseok has changed how he sings. As a teacher myself, I love seeing a student who is hungry to learn finally get the instruction he’s been wanting to get. 

Back to performance night. Everyone is excited to see them perform.

The performance begins.

Full version without reactions.

My thoughts:

I don’t think this was ever going to be a performance I really enjoy, since as you know full well by now, I don’t love most k-ballads. But I still appreciate their voices.

Gwangseok sounds a lot softer, but manages to keep pitch on those deeper, softer notes, which is a credit to Junhyeok’s teaching. I think this is my favorite performance of his so far. 

Yeo One does that thing that drives me nuts where his eyes are completely closed for about 95% of the performance -- WHAT IS THAT? -- and he still needs to work on his breath control, but he seems a little better at holding a note for the right length of time.

Junhyeok’s voice still has that slightly shrieky tone to it sometimes, but here it didn’t bother me. I actually think this combination of voices works really well, because Junhyeok’s voice is like the spritz of lemon juice you put on some fried calamari, you know? It brightens things up. 

Their harmonies work well, too. You can hear all of them, which is a credit again to Junhyeok. 

In the MNET edit, of course, everyone goes nuts for Gwangseok per usual. We even have to have an instant replay of his first few notes. 

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that sometimes, just sometimes, the judges exaggerate their facial expressions in order to maximize their screen time. Maybe. If anyone does this, it’s Solar, because she is always displaying the most over-the-top reactions to things. 

But just in general everyone loves it, and when they’re done there’s applause and throat-clearing-of-approval. Backstage, the rival team is worried, and the guys in the green room think that Donghun’s team is at risk.

The judges say….

Eunkwang says that for him, it was the best performance of the night. He praises Junhyeok’s efforts in helping the other two sing better and arranging the song. Yeo One isn’t dragging his notes as much, Eunkwang says, which is something I noticed as well. 

There’s also a lot of praise for Gwangseok’s voice general and for his improved singing technique. He started and ended the song with a sweet tone. 

Solar says that Gwangseok “built up” the most among all the contestants. She’s impressed with his improved restraint. 

Then VCG says, “That’s all for the compliments. Let’s talk about the problems. The song suits Gwangseok the most, so when the other people sing, even though they’re very good, it sounds awkward. When Gwanseok led the song and the other two added harmony, nothing could’ve been better. It’s a team of three people that can’t easily make harmony. You have good individual parts but don’t blend well as a team.” Ouch. That’s exactly what they didn’t want to hear. 

Backstage, the guys are starting to think that this team will win. How on earth could Donghun get eliminated, though? So, who will the judges vote for?

The votes are revealed. 

Blue is Donghun’s team, and red is Gwangseok’s team. And… Gwangseok’s team takes it, 4-3. 

It’s the revolution of the underdogs. 

Gwanseok thanks his teammates for helping him so much.

Donghun says he’s disappointed, of course, but he seems pretty much ok. He thanks the judges for their kind words over the course of the show, and thanks his team. He really does seem to be in a better place emotionally than he was at the beginning of the show.

Both teams walk off stage arm in arm, and backstage, the guys are hugging each other and congratulating each other for their hard work.  

Then Dahee says something that judges seem not to know: that they’ll be rescuing five of the eliminated people!

The judges say they were hoping for something like this. I assumed they’d be saving one, but nope, they’re saving five! This is great!

Ok, we’ll pick up with that in the next post. Thanks for being a friend! See you soon. 

XOXO

explaining my kpop lore

inspired by a tweet I made, we’re talking about seventeen, bts, got7, nct, and more!

so first of all, i consistently lied about how long I was into kpop because when I had a huge active Twitter account, you were seen as cooler if you were into it in your older days. so let’s just make that clear…oomfs I’m sorry </3 it’s been around 8 years or so (2015) is when I actually got into it. but I always used to say 2013.

anyway, I got into kpop right around when seventeen released their shining diamond EP. I stumbled upon them on YouTube and someone reacting to their shining diamond MV. I watched so many of their old predebut videos and very quickly they were the very first group I absolutely adored, and I only got into kpop social media after I started making edits of them on vine. before that I was exclusively following them through YouTube videos. i have always been a jun/scoups/VERNON lover but as of lately i don’t keep up with them actively.

my favorite songs by seventeen are simple, pretty u, HABIT (untouchable FLAWLESS track), Q&A, and change up!!

so after getting introduced to kpop by seventeen, I was then introduced to bts, got7, exo. I went through a serious and intense bts phase, like it was bad. had those black debut jerseys in my Amazon cart and everything like 😭

now, I was 13 years old here, so of course I was a bit obsessed with these men. i probably have thousands of pictures of jimin and jungkook saved in my google photos. yes it’s embarrassing but honestly, i was so happy i think it’s okay that i was a cringe 13 year old. as for my favorite members, i went through a phase with yoongi, hoseok, jimin, and jungkook 😭 i feel that because i loved this group so much my favorite really changed a lot, i liked them all equally. like during my discovery of bts, i immediately liked jimin, but during the i need u/run (hyyh) era I liked jungkook a lot, then during wings i was very attached to hoseok and yoongi </3 for a while now though, jungkook has been my favorite :)

my list of favorite bts songs is a huge list, but here it is; (using the Spotify titles because I forgot the hangul/romanization for them) tomorrow (top 5 for sure), just one day, butterfly, silver spoon, embarrassed, young forever, lie, reflection (also top 5), spring day, stigma, cypher 4, best of me, truth untold, singularity, black swan, boy with luv, fake love, SEESAW (top 3. argue with the wall.), you never walk alone, my time, and lots more. im not gonna say their discography is flawless, because every group has their stinkers, BUT bts is one of those groups I can just shuffle and most songs I won’t skip because I like them that much.

personally, I could make an entire post about wings and how insanely good that entire era was. I’m sure some kpop group has done the concept of every member having their own track before, but since I wasn’t into kpop before 2015, this is the first time it was presented to me. and it was done SO god damn well. i was obsessed with any and all fan theories, counting down to the next teaser, and lost my mf MARBLES when I finally watched blood sweat and tears for the first time. that era and album, the concept, the visuals, the MUSIC, FLAWLESSLY done. like do you hear that dissonance on lie? are you kidding me??? the strings?? tae’s voice on stigma????!!??!??!? I am so not normal about reflection, it’s very bad for meee!! it’s insane the production tha went into those tracks, they are ALL so good..the only songs I’m skipping on that album is just am i wrong and 2,3! THATS IT. YEAH, WE BUMPING INTERLUDE:WINGS TOO!

im still holding onto the hope that I can see them perform live someday. they are a group really special to me despite whatever infuriating fan wars were happening on Twitter in 2016/17. also just REALLY wanna hear the black swan into fake love transition like i just know that will change my life forever….

moving onto exo! I think I found them before BTS, but it wasn’t that much before. just like slightly, like I discovered EXO right before I discovered BTS. I was really sad because, by the time I discovered EXO, kris had already left the group. he was the one who caught my eye the most, which was in the mama exo-m music video. but i moved on from that and jongin was always my bias, it never changed. i did have a brief stint liking xiumin but I don’t think my bias ever rlly changed. i didn’t listen to as much of their music but i feel that their discography is a little timeless honestly, disregarding some interesting tracks…(looking at you wolf..)

my favorite exo songs are; what is love!! insanely good. moonlight, mama, playboy, el dorado (top 5 for sure😭), black pearl, shes dreaming, artificial love, MONSTER!!!!!!!, lucky one, obsession, the eve, SWEET LIES !!!! sad what their company’s management has done to exo as a whole but I still really enjoy their music. I recently watched their episode of killing voice and while I didn’t know many of the songs they sung, it’s always so nice to hear their voices. it’s always really great vocals from kyungsoo and suho. another group I really liked was monsta x, favorite members were always shownu and wonho <3 I did get to see them live on July 16, 2017! hyungwon was sick so he wasn’t there :( but it was an amazing night. i discovered so many new songs by MX and after that concert they were solidified as one of my favorite boy groups ever. some of my fave MX songs: perfect girl, from zero, fighter!!! (so INSANE live) dramarama, now or never, tropical night, shine forever, miss you, beautiful, STUCK!!!!, and beautiful! the clan was also an era I really really liked, the cinematic videos they had were amazing!!!

nct was a group i was lucky enough to watch debut which I feel their debut was INSANE. i can’t believe how early on mark lee established himself as an actually GOOD rapper. there’s a lot of boys in nct so i had a lot of ‘em that I really liked, but mainly taeyong, jaehyun, and doyoung. i really liked the concept of their sub units, the dreamies were so young when they debuted and it was a treat to watch them grow as artists. i know exactly where I was when I listened to the 7th sense, fire truck, and chewing gum for the first time. i unfortunately do not know too many of their newer stuff besides title tracks but i really like a lot of the stuff that they put out.

my fave nct songs: wake up (SO underrated), the 7th sense, boss, baby don’t stop, black on black, cherry bomb, SUN&MOON (had like a 30 second clip of this song as my pinned tweet for months. it genuinely changed my life hearing this for the first time), 0 mile, baby don’t like it, limitless, kick it, Pandora’s box, nonstop, punch, life is still going on 💛, we go up, chewing gum, ridin, and regular!!

i also really liked day6, my favorite member was jae and my favorite song of all time will always be i smile!! I saw them live and heard shoot me for the first time it was CRAZY. other songs I really liked were; I would, i wait, letting go, blood, sing me, and somehow.

honorable mentions of really good boy group or soloist songs I was obsessed with vixx - shangri-la vixx - fantasy wanna one - energetic shinee - odd eye (PEAK) shinee - 1 of 1 shinee - don’t stop shinee - replay agust d - tony montana agust d - agust d block b - her hotshot - jelly

alright time for my big one!! i actively followed got7 since 2015 when I discovered them. by this time they had JUST released just right, and what an insanely good video to introduce someone new to them 😭 so perfectly cute and catchy, like how could you not fall in love? And with the sea of content i had with all the real got7 episodes it’s like it was destined for them to be my favorite group of all time. And it’s crazy the absolute whiplash I got that same year when they got all dark and released if you do!!!! both such amazing AMAZING songs to be released in one year.

I’m gonna go ahead and skip my Twitter career as an ahgase, including the exposé thread on mark’s friends which blew up my account (looking back it’s weird for me as a 14 year old to police whom he was friends with, and the mf I exposed mark is still friends with him sooo…anyway) it’s long and a little embarrassing but just know I was ride or fucking die for got7 on Twitter. i was on there everyday, counting down the days to their next comeback, live tweeting during vlive streams, sending out thousands of tweets a day to vote for them on award shows, crying and screaming and terrorizing the timeline anytime mark so much as breathed in a cute way.

speaking of which, got7 is another group that my love for them was so big, it migrated around to almost every member. i of course always loved mark and made that very known, but there were times when i was tweeting just a bit more about yugyeom, or jackson, or bambam, or (surprisingly) jaebeom.

my experience definitely changed after I saw them live for the first time in the pit in Miami. it was pretty life changing and i know I say that a lot, but it was first concert EVER and i was so excited and happy. i cried immediately when they came out singing let me. got to do photo op for them (my amazing mommy allowed me to experience this) the picture has me sitting with jaebeom posing cutely above me. i was wearing like a weird thrasher shirt with a navy blue striped shirt under it and had very old and raggedy braids…I was going through a rough time financially. i got to see them again in Newark in 2019!! I didn’t get to do a photo op that time, but I was a lot cuter in my outfit.

for this music section, you can view my favorite got7 song from every album (excluding jpn releases). I’m that in love with their music, YUP!

and there we have it. comprehensive post of my kpop “lore” with lots of stuff left out. I made so many amazing friends through kpop and despite the reputation kpop groups and fans have, I really loved being in an active community of people especially ahgases. lots of love to all my friends, nutdonalds my first gc of friends who made stan Twitter something worth coming back to every single day, cunt7 my best friends that I wouldn’t trade for the fucking world, leo who was my first best friend i met irl and showed me so much kindness always. and all the friends that stayed in contact with me after I kind of fell out of the kpop Twitter life, you all know who you are. 🩷

satiating my craving for bts-related questions part 1/5

what's the first bts song you heard? To be honest with you I don’t think I’ll ever know the True Answer to this because they’ve been mainstream for a while now, and I know I’ve caught some of their songs on the radio back in college. If I had to guess it’d probably be something like DNA or Boy With Luv; but I would say the first song I heard when I was starting to give them a chance in 2020 was Dynamite. I feel like that song was a massive entryway for many of the current fans.

what's the first bts music video you watched? The first time I willingly watched a music video of theirs was in December 2020 when I watched Dynamite. At the time I wasn’t invested in the boys themselves and only watched the video because I liked the song.

who/what made you start stanning bts? So Angela urged me very early on and was always telling me stories about the guys, but I was pretty unmoveable until my Facebook feed fed me a short video from the Hawaii season of Bon Voyage – it was a snippet from that episode where they entered a restaurant one by one to order and speak with the nice old lady completely in English, and from there it was color me smitten lol.

Literally right after finishing the video I rushed to ask my sister to teach me their names, which took me a good few days to memorize.

who was your first bias and is now your current bias?

So from that Bon Voyage snippet, I formed a Hobi bias, right off the bat. 

Then it turned to Jin, which I’d say was largely an influence of Angela’s since she’s a Jin bias hahaha.

Though once I started becoming a more invested fan and having my own thoughts about the group and all, it became Taehyung – and it was Taehyung for a really long time up until very recently.

Around a month ago I’ve switched biases and since then it’s been Namjoon.

you can only listen to one album for the rest of your life. which? the tweet i saw this from included photos of be, ly tear, mots 7, and dark & wild. This would be a very easy MOTS: 7 for me. Obviously I love the group’s entire discography, but personally Map of the Soul 7 is the album I’d listen from start to end without feeling like skipping any single song, ever. 

You’ve got the guys’ intensity shining through on every OT7 track, the vibe of every subunit in their respective songs, a taste of each member’s personal music taste in the solo tracks, idrk what else you can ask from such a great release. Big shame Covid ruined the massive hype that was building up around the album.

what's your favourite collab? Steve Aoki. I really can’t live without that Mic Drop remix. Who with Lauv is amazing too! I’m also a fan of Coldtan largely because of the mutual respect and bond within the two.

what's your favourite bts japanese song? Your Eyes Tell. I’m obsessed with their Japanese discography in general, but I will say Your Eyes Tell is an extremely easy decision to make.

you can only choose one cypher! Contrary to most Armys’ preferences I’m not actually the craziest fan of the cyphers hahaha since they’re all very in-your-face rap, but I have to say Killer is my favorite. Triptych is also great, idk why it doesn’t get nearly as much hype as Killer and Cypher 4.

if your @ is bts related what does it mean? Obviously my username here isn’t, but I do have a secondary Twitter account for BTS fangirling stuff – sparklythv. It’s pretty self-explanatory, it’s just me and my appreciation for all the times Taehyung has looked all sparkly and pretty.

whose birthday is closest to yours? Yoongi’s is a month before mine.

favourite rap line song? UGH! Another easy decision to make, but Outro: Tear also gives it a run for its money.

favourite vocal line song? The Truth Untold. 00:00 is another favorite on other days.

zodiac compatibility with your bias?  Idk and don’t care for this.

what’s your mbti compatibility with your bias? I actually researched this recently and saw that I’m apparently most compatible with Taehyung. I honestly thought it would’ve been Namjoon.

favourite songs in d2 and agust d? The Last from Agust D; Dear my friend from D-2.

favourite songs in hope world and jitb? Base Line or Blue Side from Hope World; Arson or What If from JITB. I’m just obsessed with everything j-hope lol

favourite songs in mono and RM? Joke from RM; everythingoes or uhgood from mono.

what official merch do you own? Uh...so many hahaha should I really delve on this?? I’ve got all albums in all their versions save for the LY series, MOTS Persona series, and MOTS 7 series; all the DVDs released starting April 2021 when I became a fan; a bunch of photocards and postcards I’ve bought individually; BT21 plushies; and a bunch of other miscellaneous merch like the BTS coffees, BTS Meal packaging, postcard books, mood light, a TinyTan V pen haha the list goes on, really.

ever seen the tannies live? I haven’t. The most beautiful moments in life take some time.

who are tannies to you? Best friends.

[cinnamostar]

thank you for the tags!! @sona1800 @atinyniki @kaiyaba !! <3

who is your fav group?

despite being a skz fanfic blog, my ults are bts and seventeen LOL

who was your first bias?

jungkook and he has been my ult bias ever since ..... like oh my god that is my malewife babygirl apple of my eye schnookums pookie boo boo bear

who is your current bias?

any real one knows they bias the entire group, however..... from groups i keep up with the most, they are: jungkook, wonwoo, dino, jihyo, annnnd felix annnnnnd lee know

why are they your bias?

generally speaking, anyone i bias is 10000% bc of their personality and who they are. i don't think i have a type per se, but i just love each of them for who they are :3 iiii have been with a lot of these groups since debut, so i feel very lucky to witness these people grow as professionals/artists, but also evolve as people :D

who is your bias wrecker?

every bts and seventeen member is my bias wrecker ........ but since i am an skz blog, idk sometimes is mr bang chan but then i rmr how cringe he can be and wake up. JHJNKDSHFKS usually hyunjin though. very beautiful man, hard to resist i may add. also wooyoung from ateez. he is very annoying (in an endearing way!)

who are members that aren’t your bias wrecker that you are currently obsessing over?

........... KWON SOONYOUNG.... I WANT U SOOOO BAD........ literal sweetie pie i fall in love with him quarterly

when did you discover the group?

uh... most groups ive been with since debut and have listened to them since debut? i think? i think the only real exceptions are like skz and ateez.. i liked them since debut music/performance wise, but i didnt truly get into them til way later (tldr: my abusive ex bf got mad at me for liking kpop and ....yea..................... anyway!)

have you been to one of their concerts?

i have only been to a topp dogg concert in 2015, if you even know who they are you're a real one. HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!! i am seeing ateez this summer and i am so excited!!! <3

what are your fav songs by them?

from bts: coffee, tomorrow, boyz w fun, JUST ONE DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, miss right, truth untold, and idk i like pretty uch all their music lol

from svt: KIDULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KIDULT KIDULT KIDULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also, a-teen and ready to love are fire.. again i love all their music thats why theyre an ult lol

thanks so much for the tag!! anyone feel free to join <333 no tags im lazy and its past my bedtime :D

thank you for the tag @feelbokkie ! <3

♡ : who is your favourite kpop group?

skz, but xdinary heroes are basically tied and would probably beat them if the skz brainrot wasn't so strong lol

♡ : which member sparked your interest?

felix in maniac, but hyunjin also kept catching my eye

♡ : who was your first bias?

this man right here ‼️‼️ my boy hyunjin

♡ : who is your current bias?

i swear it's chan yall please believe me

♡ : what makes them your current bias?

oh how do i word this. i think it started by watching clips of his lives because they really helped me when i was in a rough mental spot haha. chan is like a warm hug i want to melt into and never let go, like his energy is so comforting. not to mention how incredibly talented he is and the way he looks out for the kids. there's so much i wanna say but idk how to phrase it all 😭

♡ : who is your bias wrecker?

lee know, but fr everyone else is constantly bias wrecking me too

♡ : which member(s) are you currently obsessing over that aren't your bias/bias wrecker?

han + i.n probably

♡ : when did you first discover the group?

pre-debut, but i was already falling out of kpop at the time and only knew them through my sister (not that i listened to more than exo and like 2 bts songs lol). i properly got into them cause of maniac, so 2022 ig?

♡ : have you been to one of their concerts?

NO, I WISH 😭😭😭 one day though, i hope

How I started to be a Jikook supporter

Hello, I am Julia and I want to share my story about how I started to be a Jikook supporter. 🙂 I always knew BTS exist, but I have never watched them. In 2022 I saw some BTS edits on Instagram and V quite cought my attention, so I started to watch a lot of videos and I quickly became obsessed of them. I immediately learnt they are all multitalented, amazing singers and dancers, humble, down to earth, funny and one of the best looking people in the world.

When I watched their friendship videos, since the beginning I liked Jungkook and Jimin’s bond the most. At that time I thought they are closest best friends. I knew about shipping and I found it disrespectful, because they are real people. But I saw a lot of videos and comments about how V and Jungkook are a couple or the most realistic ship ever. (When someone got to BTS it’s one of the first things he will see, because it’s the most popular ship and it’s the result of their long-term manipulation). I wanted to know why they think they are dating, so I watched their videos, but they were too exaggerated and falsely narrated in comparison to the original content. I knew they are best friends and I absolutely love their bond.

Meanwhile I watched a lot of Jikook videos, because I loved those two together and I got to see GCF Tokyo. And GCF Saipan. I found it beautiful, but I started to think about the songs choice and scenes placement specifically to the lyrics and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Jungkook is a perfectionist, he does everything to the detail and doesn’t let anything to be just a coincidence. I questioned myself why did he choose that song? Could this possibly mean they are more than friends? Then I saw The ultimate Jikook video on YouTube and it was the ultimate eye-opener for me. I started watching Jikook videos (always with original content), reading Jikook comments and blogs and I learnt about everything that happened. It took me two weeks to be 100% convinced they are more than friends and every other video just convinced me more.

I think the biggest proofs are those things, they 100% wouldn’t do and say if they were just friends. GCF Tokyo with rainbow ferris wheel at Love is a road that goes both ways is my No1 favourite, I am getting so emotional everytime I see it, it’s beautiful, it’s a masterpiece and it’s a confirmation by Jungkook himself. Than Rose Bowl. Hickey, which didn’t need to be shown, they wanted it to be shown. MMA 2018. Changing the last line in The Truth Untold from And I still want you to But I still want you and singing it together (even it’s just Jimin’s line) 3 times. Osaka vlive where it’s so obvious someone was there and that it was Jimin.

And when you think how they are always together, how they look at each other, how they support each other, how they flirt with each other, how they behave and speak like a typical korean couple, how many suspicious things have happened, how other members often react to them, their vlives, tweets, body language, Serendipity song…

I came to the conclusion people either didn’t see everything that happened between them, or they ignored it, or they denied it. Some OT7 army often say don’t ship them, they are like brothers, but you can support all 7 members and Jikook as a couple at the same time. Some of them say don’t ship them only because they are homophobes. And other shippers=tkkrs ignored, denied and twisted every Jikook interaction, because it doesn’t fit their imaginary ship.

Jikook is not a ship, they are real couple. Of course I shouldn’t claim that until Jungkook and Jimin confirm it (which may never happen even if they are a couple, we can just hope one day they will feel safe to share their story), but if you aren’t blinding yourself, you can see it too. Moreover they have the most beautiful love story I have ever seen. They are truly once in a life time lovestory. Sometimes I can’t believe love like this exists. I just wish they will stay happy no matter what happens in the future and that their bond will stay unbreakable. And my dream is to have their song with music video and dance (or even better contemporary dance) because they are the most powerful and iconic duo in the world. ☀️🌙

Last thing I want to mention is what I’ve learnt about tkkrs after I came to Twitter and saw the dark side of it. They are so obsessed with something they want to be real (but it’s not), that they are manipulating and lying as much as they can. For example: GCF Tokyo was supposed to be a Vminkook trip. Who said that? Tkkr. Also ignoring what they said, for example when V said get out of your imagination, it’s not good in there or Jimin I like you the most…which is very disrespectful. And many of them are so jealous of Jikook and jikookers that they hate them together and downplay every single thing to fanservis and bighit script. They also hate Jimin and even Jungkook too, when he doesn’t fit their narratives. How sick and disgusting is to hate another member because of a ship? We should be more respectful to make the world a better place to live. ✨

[dreamaze]

Tagged by the lovely @wabisaba​​, thanks for thinking of me! ♡

Tagging: @yoong02​, @today-we-will-survive​ (sorry I already tagged you both in something this evening, please feel free to ignore~) and anyone else who would like to share!

When did you first get into BTS?: I had to dig up the tweet from my personal twitter, but circa early August 2019.

Why or/and how did you get into BTS?: Soo I don’t really listen to pop (or hip hop) music, or I didn’t at the time when I discovered BTS. I suppose the closest thing I had in my music library was a PSY album, which was a bit of an anomaly. I was streaming probably weird music at work and a particular short YouTube ad caught my ear a few times. The beat was catchy and the synth sounded cool so I finally tabbed over to see what the ad was. Surprise, it was BTS! (It may have been an ad for Bring the Soul? Honestly idk anymore.) But I didn’t know which song the clip was from, so then I fell down a rabbit hole trying to find it. I found a handful of songs I enjoyed along the way before identifying DNA... and I just kept listening. I really feel that I found them when I needed them most: something new, revitalizing, comforting, and inspiring to remind me why I love music and music-making.

First BTS song: I don’t know if I can count DNA since it took me awhile to identify the full song. But the Steve Aoki remix of MIC Drop is probably the most responsible for keeping me listening in the beginning. As soon as I saw the music video, I was hooked (and weirdly, extremely obsessed with the hard panning at a couple moments in the song--still am) and wanted to learn more about the members. 

Favorite BTS song: According to this recent tag game, Spring Day... and as much as I have a hard time picking favorites (see also: bias list), my instinct agrees.

First official comeback: Map of the Soul: 7!

Favorite era: Wings. Wings. Wings. (Or You Never Walk Alone, I guess, if that would be the correct way to also include Spring Day. Honestly this whole era thing is a little murky to me pfff. Did I mention that I don’t listen to much pop music??)

Bias: Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung, Yoongi

Bias wrecker(s): I don’t really do this wreck it ralph thing, I love them all equally so they’re all my bias! But I listed them above in the order that they became my bias. ♡ Jungkook was first thanks to one very specific expression he makes in the MIC Drop MV, Jimin joined immediately after I figured out who was who in the vocal parts, Taehyung tagged in eventually once I discovered more of his absolutely stunning bari lines, and Yoongi shouldered in a few months later when he aggressively convinced me that I can, in fact, enjoy rapping.

First BTS concert: It was supposed to be this year. :(

Do you own any merch?: Some! By far the most meaningful purchase ended up being my first order for both the Love Yourself New York show and Notes 1. I threw in the Notes a bit on a whim because they had a promotional sale if I got both... and you could say that has had a lasting effect on me. I was also SUPER EXCITED when I got my hands on an unopened Wings Tour in Seoul. I have a handful of newer albums and video sets. Long term, I am interested in trying to collect all of the albums with accompanying Notes, even if I don’t know Korean. May have purchased all 4 MOTS:7 versions because I am an idiot and thought they would come with English translations womp. And I have one unofficial Love Yourself sweatshirt that I am very fond of.

What member would you say you are most like?: According to this very official bingo game, a tie between Yoongi and Namjoon.

Favorite BTS lyrics: Black Swan hits a little too close to home. I love Mikrokosmos for its comfort, and the poetry in songs like The Truth Untold and Sea or lines like “I grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true.”

Favorite music video: Eep probably Blood Sweat & Tears (Korean) with Fake Love Extended Ver. as a close second? Wait, I love Spring Day too. Help.

1 thing you love about BTS: Their openness about their creative & personal struggles as artists... among many, many, many other things.

And to finish off wholesomely, do you have a favorite BTS group photo? If so, share it here (if not, what is your fave concept photoshoot and share picture): ohhh wow why am I completely failing at this. I... don’t have... a particular favorite??? Not very wholesome of me to be so stumped, but I guess I don’t really keep track of their group photos! I did find this series from their MotS:7 teaser to be pretty though.

My top 10 ballads sung by kpop groups

Yesterday I saw an article about girl group ballads and I thought I would never pick any of those songs so I decided to make my own top 10  ballads sung by idol groups. I only picked one per group otherwise knowing myself I would pick 8 EXO songs.

H.M. Mamamoo- Paint me. It’s common knowledge Mamamoo has some strong ballads because they have three amazing vocalists and a rapper who can sing. A little over a year ago they released this song and it became my favorite ballad of theirs. The song compares the stages of a relationship with colors.

10. NCT U-Timeless. This song was first released as a SM STATION and later added to NCT 2018’s album Empathy. The song is performed by Doyoung, Taeil and Jaehyun. The composer is Andrew Choi who also wrote SuJu’s Evanesce. The song talks about the mixed feelings after a break up between still loving someone and being unable to say it and yet failing to let it go.

9.  Super Junior- Evanesce. I started going through the hole that is kpop in 2013 so when this song was released almost 5 years ago it became the first SuJu song I obsessed about. I’d watched some of their more recognizable MVs but I wasn’t a fan of them. So in a way this was the song that made me take a second look at Super Junior and Kyuhyun. It remains my favorite SuJu ballad. 

  8.  BTOB-It's okay. This is the song that gave BTOB their long awaited first number 1. I honestly didn’t know about them until Sungjae appeared in We Got Married and around the same time his episodes with Red Velvet’s Joy started to air this song was released. It’s so catchy and just makes you feel good.

7. SHINee- Selene 6.23. This song was written by famous piano player Yiruma and Jonghyun. I actually totally missed this song since I was not that into kpop when it was released but when I became obsessed with Jonghyun back in 2016 I found this song and absolutely loved it. This has now become an emotional song to listen to after his passing but it’s just a great ballad. It talks about being unable to reach a loved one.

6. BTS feat. Steve Aoki-The truth untold. This is my favourite BTS ballad sung by V, Jin, Jimin and Jungkook. Steve Aoiki and RM among others wrote this one and it’s just such haunting sound. Jimin’s vocals are my favourite part but Jungkook really sings his heart out on this one. The lyrics are also a highlight: the fear of being unable to show your true self because you think it’s not enough.

5. Red Velvet-Time to love. I know there’s a lot of SM in this list and there’s a reason for it. They do tend to have groups with some strong vocals and also they do a lot of ballads as b-sides. The Perfect Velvet is my favourite full album of a girl group. I just really enjoyed all but one (Attaboy). So I knew I needed to add one of the ballads. I first thought of Kingdom Come but settled on Time to love. The Reason? The understated runs. Everyone shows off great vocals in this song but Seulgi and Wendy really pull their weight delievering really pretty runs. The song is about those first few moments of a relationship.

4. 2NE1- Goodbye. This song really portrays the mixed feelings of saying goodbye and it was 2NE1 last comeback. The acoustic guitar and CLs vocals leave a really strong impression.

3. BIG BANG-LOSER. This is arguably my favourite BIG BANG song. We most likely will never see BIG BANG all together performing it given all the drama that has occured this year. Nevertheless this is a great song and even though it’s pretty simple I adore it. This mid tempo ballad talks about, unsurprisingly, feeling like a loser.

2. WINNER-FOOL. I’ve been a huge WINNER fan this past couple of years and this song is the reason why. WINNER really do ballads well and I had a hard time between choosing this one and AIR  but at the end of the day the chorus of FOOL is just so strong. The song talks about realizing too late that you were the reason why you broke up with someone. Seungyoon has actually confessed the song is about Taehyun leaving WINNER.

1. EXO-Heaven. If you haven’t heard this song you need to. The lyrics are definitely the cheesiest ones in this list but I love it because it is so sweet and it doesn’t hurt to know Chanyeol wrote them. It’s a mid tempo ballad with a nice beat. At this point EXO has dozens of ballads between solo projects, winter albums and full lenght albums and they are all really good, so it was a struggle to choose only one. Still can’t believe I didn’t pick Sing for you, Universe or Tell me (what is love).
