what do you mean kang tae-oh and gong myung debuted in the same acting group (5urprise)...like WHAT ??
also the way that two of these members got stage names that just sound like regular names (with a “family” name and a 2 syllable first name) just sends
their management company really was like “we’re gonna invert the process, they’re gonna debut as actors first and then release 3 singles. and then disband.” ;alskdjf;kasdf
#kylie speaks#am i seriously starting to become a kpop thoughts blog? who knows#gong myung#kang tae oh#i only stumbled upon this bc i was looking at wikipedia to see what taeoh's filmography was like#and was completely taken aback at the initial name-explainer being like kang and kim are the family names#like wdym kang taeoh's family name is also kim...kang taeoh is not real#anyways. actors with stage names are just much less common than singers with stage names imo so it was just hilarious to stumble upon this

FUN FACT: (idk which other groups you stan) but *the* actor, Kang Taeoh, was once in a kpop group called 5urprise, where one of the other members was Gongmyung, NCT Doyoung’s hyung🥰
I don't stan nct (tho I am madly in love with Jaehyun unfortunately dhdhdhdh) but I do love that Taeoh was an idol before he started acting. Truly iconic of him tbh.
Also I googled that group and the fact that I could barely find any mvs of their songs or just like.....general proof of their existence is both sad and funny at the same time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQu6ugqPhZo&ab_channel=viviontokki but please look at sungmin sitting on top of onews ass and massaging it (this isnt fanservice theyre not in a team for that, this is normal korean behaviour. korean men do go to bath houses with eachother and rub eachothers back)
Link, Link2, LInk3, LInk4
I googled pictures to illustrate, and it gave me Gongmyung, heh. It’s from a photoshoot for a magazine, 5urprise members (a fictional idol group).
mild NSFW warning
And here is how a communal bath looks like in SK.
Speaking of fanservice, Jaehyun is lucky he is in a 3gen group.
BigBang
SuJu
I think it’s BTS?
SuJu again
And what member doesn’t appreciate a co-member’s butt. Monsta X
127 neos are pretty reserved in comparison to a usual bg idols. Even Haechan and Jungwoo.
I wonder if companies toned down with the fanservice to target other Asian countries.

goodbye 5urprise
all five members of the actor group signed to fantagio entertainment have left the company. gong myung signed with saram entertainment, while the other four members (seo kangjoon, yoo il, kang taeoh, and lee taehwan) are joining a new start-up agency with some fantagio staff members that they’ve worked with for a long time
#5urprise#i wonder if the new agency is a NEW agency theyre making#or if the new start up means stardium

Annyeong chingus! It's been a while since I logged a blog here. Anyways! Kdrama is not new! Been hyped to the fever again since 2017. And since then... my oppa list goes on... Ommmooooo they're already 10. HAHA kasya pa sa heart ko ah.
Without further ado, here are my 10 boyfriends in another nation.. My Imagination 😆
1. Lee Min Ho - first love ko, probably 1st love ng lahat. First knew him at Boys Over Flowers as Go Jun Pyo and loved him again as the charming con artist Hyu Joon-jae. Well, excited for his come back this year after being in military service, heard The King will premiere this Friday at Netflix.
2. Lee Jong Suk- my forever love! Among my oppas, Jong Suk has the most numbers of dramas I've watched. Fell in love with Him first at While You Were sleeping, then loved him even more at Doctor Stranger and so on... His last Kdrama I've watched was the one he last taped before going for 2 year-Military Service, the RomCom- Romance is a Bonus Book, where he was a writer/editor Cha Eun-ho. Bogoshippeo Jongsuk oppa! See you taping kdramas again after a year <3
3. Park Seo-Joon - first noticed Seo-Joon at Hwarang. Then, even noticed more of His handsomeness in She was Pretty and that he's also humorous in the kdramas Fight for My way and What's wrong with secretary Kim. He's so cute with His aegyooos. With His strong built and masculine features, he is also good with action projects. Remembered watching his recent movie Divine Fury and it was Daebak! (Awesome)
4. Seo Kang-Joon - first noticed him at Cheese in the Trap and it's where I first experienced the second lead syndrome. Loved His brown eyes! <3 Gladly, I was able to watch a drama that he was a protagonist, in "I am Human too". I heard it was the most expensive kdrama. Well, after a long time of not seeing him, I'm glad that he has a new kdrama with Park Min-Young in the Weather is Fine. I will watch it soon.☺️ Seo Kang-joon is also a Kpop member of the group, 5urprise.
5. Park Bo Gum - first saw this adorable guy as a crown prince in the kdrama, Love in the Moonlight. Indeed, captivated by his wonderful smile. And I heard that he's also a Christian. Loved him even more in the Kdrama, Boyfriend Encounter.
6. Ahn Hyo-Seop- Ahn Hyo-Seop or his english name Paul Ahn is very good in English because He is actually a Canadian citizen, who lived and studied in Toronto. Hear him speaking in English and you'll be "kilig". First seen Him in the kdrama, Abyss and placed him on my list right away. Also watched His Kdrama Queen of the Ring and also saw a video of him dance with her partner in the drama and he was really good! and just found out that he's also from a group, One O One. And that he's a close friend of my latest oppa, Rowoon and also a friend of Song Kang. Anyways, proud of him for doing so well in his recent Kdrama Romantic Doctor 2 who had had ratings.
7. Cha Eun-Woo- Cha Eun Woo's visuals are just so irresistable right?! if I could describe it, magandang lalaki. Diba, he's just so beautiful to be a guy. haha sorry for the term. Pero sobrang gwapo nga talaga ni Eun-woo. Well, noticed him first in the kdrama, My ID is Gangnam Beauty where you'd also hope na sana ikaw nalang si ate ghorl. haha. Well, Eun-Woo went on the drama Top Management with my other Oppa, Paul Ahn. Pero di ko nawatch. He's also pretty talented, as a member of the Kpop group Astro.
8. Ok Taec-Yeon- Taec-Yeon is not the typical fair-skinned oppa but I really do admire his complexion- nakakalalaki plus His masculine built. He also reminds me of someone! haha pero loved his kdrama Bring it On Ghost, first episode pa lang sobrang goodvibes. I just can't count how many times I laughed with the whole drama. I enjoyed a lot and loved their roles that I even named my dog with Kim Hyun-ji (the girl protagonist's name). His latest kdrama The Game Towards Zero was also very good, suspense-action but very well thought story line, tapos unpredictable talaga ang mga succeeding episodes. Basta angaling! Taec-Yeon is a member of the group 2PM and he's really good rapper and is fluent in English.
9. Song Kang- At first you would think that he was a kpop artist but he's purely an actor. Well, I've just seen him on a netflix drama Love Alarm that was recommended by my aunt. And He was oozing with handsomeness and acting that got me ohhh so kilig and fell for him. haha! excited to see you in Love Alarms Season 2 my dear Song Kang!<3
10. Kim Seok-Woo (ROWOON)- my baby! kasi dongseng... Yes, I claim him my baby. hahaha He's the latest oppa, 2weeks old pa lang. haha perooo I could say he hit me hard in the heart coz I so like him. Di pa nakapag move on ever since I watched his first lead role drama, Extra Ordinary You. And fell in love with his role as Haru. He has also starred in When the Stars Land, second lead nonomon. Kaya pala his face was familiar. Anyways, his role as Haru was pretty serious and composed, unlike to who He is real life which I found out upon binge watching his videos in you tube, Rowoon is really very makulit and clingy but with that I find him even more lovable. Plus he is so tall, 6'3 besh.. omooo sarap i hug nun. haha And upon seeing more of him, I also learned to love his kpop group SF9. And it's probably the first male kpop that I'm committing to fandom. chukayoo self! Rowoon's really handsome, good in singing and dancing. He's perfect, yes he's perfect for me. hahaha. love you baby!
Well....
One thing they all have in common- They are all TALL! Guess, I love tall men <3
Hope to see u someday, my oppas! Saranghaeooooo <3

The Ultimate Boygroup Masterpost That Nobody Asked For Part 2/2
Part 1 (A - M)
I literally don’t have a life so here is every kpop boygroup ever (consisting of at least three members, besides maybe B.O.Y) sorted both alphabetically (kinda) + their debut date and linked to their latest (or any) MV.
Disbanded groups will be bolded. However since the status of some of these groups is kinda unclear and sometimes the information I found was mixed on wether or not they’re still a thing I MAY be wrong.
If there’s a group I forgot or if you notice a mistake in terms of debut date, disbandment, wether I put a group several times or anything else really; feel free to drop by my ask-box and tell me!
There are some groups like for example YGs ‘Treasure’ which I did NOT add to the list YET. This is because they have not officially had their debut yet.
I decided to add several project groups like UNB or SuperM. However this list does not include sub-units of already existing groups like the various NCT sub units (besides WayV), Nu’est W, High420 etc.

do you think it's possible that in the future, sm will encourage doyoung to do some acting? because i understand that usually sm doesnt force their main vocalists to go outside of singing bc they already have a niche, but i think it's a little different in do's case. with his brother being a famous actor, and technically part singer because of 5urprise, sm could capitalize on the pr tactic of "younger kim bro on the opposite spectrum as an idol actor vs gm actor part-idol (1/2)
and I think that doing acting could expand his networking abilities and open up more opportunities to do more OSTs since when idols act, they have higher chances of scoring their OST. not to mention, doyoung is a huge fanboy of D.O. who is a main vocalist of exo but is also a recognized actor now. i dont think do has ever outright said he's against acting, and I think it could help him as an idol to experience more things. it would broaden his "experiences" and improve his understanding (2/2)
----------
As of now Doyoung is adamant he does not want to go into acting. He said it several times.
He might yet change his mind, but he won’t be pushed by SM without his own interest.
Usually, it’s a problem when a parent or a sibling is an actor/singer. Everyone compare your talent and success with the relative. And Gongmyung is not just an actor, he is a talented actor steadily rising in popularity with a hit film in his carrier. Another obstacle is the members, who ridicule his acting during shows. As with dancing, he doesn’t think he has any ability.
D.O. is not Do’s biggest inspiration to copy his path.

Eunwoo was an MC for Show! Music Core from October 1, 2016 to January 27, 2018; following his final episode, the other members started up a vlive as they prepared to surprise Eunwoo upon his return to the company; the video was later removed, as you could clearly hear Rocky saying “f*** off, f***” after Sanha accidentally blew out the candles on a cake they’d gotten for Eunwoo
The MV shooting for Hide & Seek happened on Moonbin’s birthday in 2016

While filming the MV for Crazy Sexy Cool, MJ hurt his leg
When filming for an MV, Eunwoo fell off a set prop and onto a nail but he didn’t feel it; the manager took him to the hospital right away, and the doctor said that because Eunwoo’s butt is so plump, he avoided any real damage
The fandom name, AROHA, was picked by a fan; prior to debut, Fantagio allowed fans to submit fandom name ideas with their meanings on the fan cafe and then the members chose which one they liked the most
