BangBangCon Festa 2024

I stayed up all night. I have a Bangtan hangover right now. I was a fallen soldier after Boy With Luv. I am glad I own the Love Yourself/Speak Yourself Final Seoul concert dvd so I can always go back and watch it.

Before I fell to the weakness of my sleepy brain, I did manage to get this:

Every member had a segment and every one is fantastic but this particular performance of Jimin's has always enthralled me. It is just so dynamic. No wonder he was given special recognition by the Kim Baek Bong Korean Fan Dance Conservation Society after he performed this for the 2018 Melon Music Awards. I just don't remember ever seeing a full video of it from this front angle. I was thrilled to see the above last night.

Here is the 3J focus Bangtan Bomb video of the performance, however, all we get is a close up of Jimin and not the full scene to see the full fan dance choreography. And here is the full Melon Award BTS performance with all of the members on someone's YouTube channel. Jimin's fan dance segment begins at 15:03. This version offers more wide angles of the choreo than the Bangtan Bomb version.

Anyway. Going to take a nap now.

THE  MEMBERS  OF  HIRÆTH     @      the  angels  and  their  vessels.

"   good  and  evil  people  are  not  clearly  distinguished.   good  and  evil  coexist  within  one  person.   even  if  one  seems  good,   greed  and  temptation  always  exist  together  inside.   we  simply  try  to  resist  being  captivated  by  evil.   "

trigger  warnings:   parental  neglect,   emotional  abuse,  subtle  mentions  of  blood  and  murder.

ACT  I    ⸺    you carried your family’s name, but they neither cared nor appreciated it. you spent years trying to earn their approval, excelling in extracurricular activities and providing for them after hours of hard work each day. despite your efforts, their indifference never wavered. you were thirteen when you decided to leave the lineup of the japanese idol group you had been with for three years. but when their farewell lacked sincerity, you told yourself it didn’t matter, just as you had with your own family’s coldness. yet, every time you think of these moments, why does your blood run hot? ACT  II    ⸺    you joined a trainee program carrying your surname, enduring criticism, side-eyes, and pointing because you were expected to be better than everyone else with your experience, so why did you keep making mistakes? you swear you didn't take it to heart. you used every mocking word to improve and find passion in your still-developing skills as an artist, and when you won the survival show alongside three talented contestants, you carried the pop sensation kaia title as a trophy. ACT  III    ⸺    you were a musician before you were an idol— songwriter of this song, producer of that one, background vocals of another. but where was your group? you didn’t know, and neither did your company, despite your efforts to make the debut happen. your songwriting skills got you working with many artists, drawing attention to you and highlighting the uncertainty surrounding your group. you are the reason you and your members got a new and better chance under a new company. and it was you who first got blood in your hands when you thought removing her was the only way. ACT  IV    ⸺   you are the leader, the main rapper, and the lead dancer of hiræth. you are the glue that keeps the group together with your nurturing and bright personality, the one in charge of the fun in the group's concept. you're also known as japan’s princess and one of the generation's best leaders. while your fans might wish for you to take center stage, you’re content letting your members shine first, preferring to work quietly in the background and pursue your passions on your own. but is it really about humility, or is it easier to keep a low profile, hiding behind a mask of innocence when you know better? ACT  Æ    ⸺   you are the angel of summer, born as a seashell drifting across the coast of a not-so tranquil beach. you are the angel that wants to break out of celestia to discover on what seems the impossible. you believe in yourself and your dreams, but faith without action is wishful thinking, and faith without hope is just daydreaming…

ACT  I    ⸺    you were born into a family of artists and musicians, so you were destined to become a performer. a polished, and perfect doll, perched on a high pedestal where no one could ever touch you— except for an angered, disappointed mother with a strong grip and an icy stare that could make you shrink in every sense of the word. you were just ten when you finally tasted your first dose of freedom, the day you were accepted into a prestigious ballet school far from your hometown. you left behind a home and a mother who, to this day, gives you sleepless nights. ACT  II    ⸺    you had forgotten your audition to a trainee program until someone with a big name personally scouted you to join on your way to school. you accepted after many second thoughts, and you piqued everyone's interest because of your background, your talent, and your demure personality. you also fell in love, though at the time, you didn't quiet understand your feelings nor his until he left, leaving you heartbroken. you claim to be over him whenever he’s brought up, but deep down, are you truly? ACT  III    ⸺    you ventured out of the idol domain when your group went on hiatus even before their official debut. you became an actress, a producer, and a student at the school of performing arts in seoul—always keeping yourself busy, just as you were raised to do, because staying still meant staying in a space where your boundaries, your personal space, and your dignity weren't respected. this relentless drive and anxiety led to both physical and mental exhaustion, leaving you dependent on prescriptions to ease your anxiety and give you a peaceful night's sleep. they rarely work to this day. ACT  IV    ⸺   you are the visual, the main dancer, and the lead vocalist of hiræth. known as miss korea and revered as the white swan of the industry, you bring elegance and an ethereal allure to the group with your reserved yet passionate nature. you are the member who sells— your face adorning billboards, charities, and endorsements alike because anything you touch or grace is sold out within minutes. you are hardworking and always on the move, yet you yearn for a break— a moment to soothe your worries, ease the strain in your limbs, and forget about the things you've been part of. but with your relentless drive, true relaxation might remain out of reach… until it's too late. ACT  Æ    ⸺   you are the angel of spring, born from a daisy among decayed roses. you are the angel who is stuck in the "what could have been’s" and the "what if’s" of a loop you're pretty much aware of. you were made to believe in love, but your love had turned dull when it broke. your love has been lacking faith and hope to flourish, and for love to thrive, it must be nurtured with faith and hope to make it stronger, but how can you see it if you feel nothing?

trigger  warnings:  child  exploitation,  emotional  neglect  and  abuse,  subtle  mentions  of  bullying  and  murder.

ACT  I    ⸺    you were born with a talent your father couldn’t bear to waste. at barely six years old, you were constantly the reason many pedestrians stopped to listen you singing your favorite songs. sing, sing, sing, sing. that was your childhood, and you were okay with it because, at that age, it was fun to do something you were good at. you won various talent shows in china and chicago, you were mentored by broadway veterans, brought money into your household and your father’s pockets, and you were content, even when your father didn't give you attention unless you were under the spotlight. at that time, you didn't get it. ACT  II    ⸺    you were merely ten years old when you were unexpectedly accepted into a trainee program you decided to audition for "funsies". your charisma, determination, and powerhouse vocals swiftly captivated all, becoming one of, if not, the favorite trainee out of everyone. you were the fastest trainee to reach the highest rank and the youngest contestant to win your company’s survival show. you were a star with the brightest future ahead. ACT  III    ⸺    you hadn’t debuted yet, so you were allowed to finish your studies, provided you did nothing to harm the company’s reputation or your own. you didn’t mock, laugh at, or hurt anyone, but one day, you saw red—leaving someone without a life after their taunting pushed you too far. it doesn’t eat you up at night anymore. she mocked you. she disrespected you. your ego was hurt. she deserved it. but that time was nothing short of troubling. ACT  IV    ⸺    you are the main vocalist and the face of hiræth. you are the golden maknae and the generation’s ithey, a play of words with "it girl" and "they" after you opened up about identifying yourself as non-binary. aside from your strong and memorable vocals, you bring the coolness to the group with your fresh personality and creative ideas. you are the most popular and the most promoted member of the group, but it seems you just have social media hype and you're aware of it, but you don't mind… at least not that much! ACT  Æ    ⸺   you are the angel of winter, born as a drifting snowflake that fell in the snowy garden of celestia. you are the angel that doesn’t mind celestia nor the loop at all. if it means having fun over and over with the promise of always going back to zero to repeat, why would you try to escape? and you are hopeful for all the outcomes of your lives, but there is nothing to hope for without faith, determination, and love, both for others and yourself…

debuting  under  MIGHTY  DEVIL  with  the  single  SHOT  IN  THE  HEART  on  valentine’s  day,  STUPID  CUPID  started  their  career  with  a  cute  and  addictive  debut  song.  despite  getting  far  with  the  song,  they  received  no  music  show  wins  but  did  attract  a  lot  of  attention  from  the  netizens  due  to  their  chirpy  cutesiness.  their  pre-debut  fame  helped  them  reach  second  place,  despite  competing  against  other  big  names  in  the  industry. \\ @stcpidcupid

Sweet Like Candy is Sena's debut mini-album, making her the fourth and final member of VENUS to debut solo. With a track list of eight songs, Sena performed the title tracks "Exes" and "Get Him Back" for a total of six weeks across various music shows and concert appearances. Exes would go on to win three music show awards, and Get Him Back would earn two. \\ @venusvity

their debut single, “CLASSY,” is considered one of the strongest debuts in the industry, and is a favorite among fans. the album sold nearly 400,000 copies within its first week, and still remains the highest selling debut album for a girl group. “CLASSY” received FOUR music show wins, receiving its first merely a week after KRUSH’s debut. the song also debuted at the top of the MELON charts, and had stiff competition with BTS’ “DNA.” — (inspiration ♡ blackpink’s “ddu-du-ddu-du”) \\ @urmykrushhh

the official debut from the mysterious singer, GIRL FROM NOWHERE, was announced on april 1st, 2024. the album consisted of one song, as well as the instrumental version of it.  the music video had a more homemade feel to it, since the shots were mostly of the singers backside, or the lower half of her face. \\ @yourlovedahlia

on the 3rd of february 2018 CUBE ENT debuted their much anticipated new girl group VIVID ! the 5 made their mark in the industry with RUMPUMPUMPUM their debut track written and produced by members DAYNA and SORA under SODA the name of their production duo. it was the title track off of their debut single album ‘ PHASE 1 : LALALA. the group and song garnered the girls a lot of attention as they had already had buzz around their name due to members already being known in the industry. \\ @alwaysvivid

What if there was a K-pop based game? Not a Just Dance K-pop edition, but an actual game? What would the gameplay be like? Would you play or buy it? And who should be the first cover idol?

This honestly shouldn't be something I put so much thought into, and it's only scratching the surface, but there's so much material and concepts you could do with a K-pop based game. Other suggestions have already been tackled and explained tactfully, such as gameplay and Career/Story Mode, so here's a list of things and ideas I would like to see in a hypothetical game:

Cover idol:

I think if it’s not BTS or Blackpink, especially for the first game, you’d cause a huge riot. They are far and away the two most popular and recognized K-pop groups of all time, and are basically most Westerners’ gateway to the genre. It makes sense why not them, they’re currently inactive (esp. since BTS are in the military), but I’d argue that you should easily make two cover versions of the game—one with BTS, the other Blackpink. If it has to be one active idol, you could go with many options: Wonyoung, Karina, An Yujin, Yeji, Chaewon, Winter, Seulgi, Sana, Miyeon. It would be cool to have a foreign idol, but it has to be a Korean first, and I’d personally go with Wonyoung. For the Legacy/Legend Editions, I’d pick IU.

MyGM:

You could go three ways with a MyGM mode. Group based, company based, and music show based. All three will have similar gameplay elements, but have different ways and strategies to go about managing a successful group, company or music show. 

MyIdol could be you as a singular group’s manager, scheduling comebacks, concerts, days-off, and so on during a calendar year. There’s a stamina/morale system to balance between working them for profit/popularity and resting them so that none of the members get disgruntled and leave or be sidelined. You’d also have to make decisions for the members’ solo opportunities, line distribution, and more.

MyCompany is larger in scale—you now run an entire company or sublabel (good luck if you’re running Cube or SM lmao). You have to manage every artist’s comebacks and schedules, or else they leave or demand a contract termination. An addition from MyIdol is the ability to sign other idols/artists/trainees on the free agent market and you can add them to existing groups or create new groups with your current roster. 

MyMusicShow would basically be WWE 2K’s MyGM. You’re in charge of a music show/Korean TV station like KBS’ Music Bank or SBS’ Inkigayo and you have to compete with other networks for the best ratings of the week throughout a calendar year. You can negotiate exclusive contracts with other agencies so that their groups can only appear on your programs, as well as managing set designs/TV booking (who wins on your show)/screentime for the artists on your show. 

Universe Mode:

What it says on the tin: you have control over the entire industry and decide who are the top dogs, create special collaborations, send groups on international stages, etc.

Showcase Mode:

Depends on who’s the cover idol: you basically replay some of their most iconic/legendary stages throughout their career. If it were someone like Wonyoung for example, it would include her Very Very Very performance from PD48, that one Love Dive baseball stage, K-Pop Flex 2022, her 2022 Melon Music Awards performance, and so on. You could also do one for whoever’s on the Legend/Legacy Edition cover.

Roster:

Depending on which companies are down for it, I expect all the current 4th/5th gen guys to be available from the start, while 3rd/2nd gen groups are labeled as Legends/Legacy and require some grinding to unlock (with few exceptions). Newer groups would probably be DLC or groups from prominent eras/releases (like 2018 TWICE or 2010 SNSD for example). TheLibrarian’s suggestion of having boy group/girl group only versions is also a possible option, but c’mon, if the NBA and WWE 2K games can include both their men and women’s rosters, I see no reason for the K-pop game not to do the same.

I put so much unnecessary thought into it for some reason, I even tried making concept covers of my own using my ideas and others (they're kinda bad XD). Sorry you had to read through all that.

what are those jungkook x maya moments that made people ship them tho?

sorry that it took me awhile to get to this request, but I hope you're happy with it 💗

jungkook x maya moments

○ jungkook cheering on maya

At the Idol Athletics Sports Competition, Maya and Jungkook were on the same team. Maya was in the semifinals for the wrestling competition against Apink's Hayoung.

When she beat her fellow female idol, Jungkook couldn't have acted any happier. He was seated on the ground next to his BTS member Jin and the moment she won, he jumped up and had a huge smile on his face. However, he was quickly embarrassed as the only other people to stand up for Maya were her Twice member and a few other teammates of theirs. Jungkook almost immediately sat back down again, much to the amusement of his members who watched his reaction.

○ jungkook's viral reaction

During the Melon Music Awards in 2018, a commercial starring Maya was shown on the screen. Despite the Twice members not being present, the crowd went crazy as Maya appeared on the big screen.

The moment that went viral is when the commercial was done and the camera immediately cut to Jungkook gaping at the screen, seemingly admiring her. As soon as he saw his own face, he quickly looked down at his feet and a blush appeared on his face.

The reaction of the people around him also didn't help his shyness about the situation. His members immediately turned to him and started laughing at their youngest. The cameraman who was filming Jungkook was seen smirking, proud of himself for capturing the moment. The Blackpink members were also seen smiling as Jungkook's smitten face appeared on the screen before them.

○ maya and jungkook hosting music core

The pair were guest MC's in a special episode of the music show, Music Core. Throughout the episode Maya wasn't shy of making eye contact with the male idol, meanwhile Jungkook felt a blush on his face each time their eyes met and he would quickly look away.

The most popular moment of the episode is when Jungkook named her his ideal type, even though it was scripted.

Minjae: ''Maya, what's your blood type?''

Jungkook: ''I think I know! My ideal type!''

○ the kdrama moment

At the 2020 Golden Disc Awards, Maya was seen walking back to her seating space where her members were already sitting as she had gone to the bathroom. As she walked by the BTS members, she almost tripped over a wire that was loosely laying on the floor. Jungkook didn't hesitate and reached down to help with the wire, while Maya did the same thing.

Their faces were very close to each other and they made eye-contact with each other, resulting in both of them getting up straightaway, realising the position they were in. Maya was seen bowing to him and muttering a formal 'thank you', while Jungkook made his way back to his members.

BTS fans noticed that after his interaction with the Twice member, his smile didn't disappear from his face and that his members gave him teasing grins.

The article interviewed representative theorists of Korean dance Professor Kim Ji-won and dance critic Dr Lee Chan-ju about Korean dance and its genealogy.

Jimin's mention:

"Jimin (BTS), barefoot and dressed in white, slowly walks to the front of the stage with a soft white cloth draped over his shoulders and his gaze down. Then, for about 1 minute and 20 seconds, he displays the intense movement of throwing, pulling, and caressing the cloth wrapped around his shoulders and arms into the air. This is a performance performed by Jimin titled ‘I Need U’ at the 2019 Melon Music Awards. Although it is said to be a modern dance, Koreans can quickly tell that it is a reinterpretation of ‘Salpuri dance.’ In 2018, Jimin performed an original fan dance on the same stage and received a plaque of appreciation from the Kim Baekbong Fan Dance Preservation Society, saying he had ‘contributed to raising the status and aesthetic value of the fan dance globally.’ There was an uproar among overseas fans who heard Jimin's 'I Need You' for the first time. What on earth is that dance and what does the cloth mean? BTS' video containing this scene achieved hundreds of millions of views."

“BTS' performance is a motif or reinterpretation of traditional dance, but people who encounter Korean dance for the first time will soon want to know what the original dance is and the meaning of the cloth used as a prop.”

“If you look closely at the Salpuri dance, the cloth is not removed at all. In some ways, catching and putting it back , letting go and winding it again are inevitable. I shared affection with all my loved ones, but after losing that affection, there will be regret and obsession, and it seems there will be tearful conflicts. So, I complain to the cloth, and I wrap it, unwind it, and get tangled up again while trying to get myself together for having to live with the loss of the things I love.”

"After hearing this explanation and watching Jimin's performance again, each movement is interpreted in a new way. Professor Kim said that when she was learning Salpuri dance, her teacher said, “Have you never even loved? She laughs, saying that it was only after a long time that she realized the meaning of his words, 'Come back with more love'.”
