Eunjae Facts:

Eunjae was one of the first NCT members to join SM as a trainee

She auditioned at the age of 9 and joined SM in 2011 at the age of 10

Eunjae got in through a weekly audition when she was visiting Seoul with her mother, she wasn’t prepared but decided to try anyway and got in because of her vocal potential and her passion (K-pop Daebak w/ Eric Nam)

Similarly to Johnny, she would only attend training over summer break and other schoolbreaks until she was 13

Nicknames: Chachi, Jae, Jaeeun, Eunji, Eun-ah/Eunah/Eunha

She graduated high school, but this caused her to miss some of Dream’s schedules

Mark said he thinks Eunjae is a genius/highly intelligent since she graduated a year earlier than her peers despite being a busy trainee and idol (V LIVE)

Eunjae’s interested in song writing and producing

Eunjae speaks conversational English and Mandarin 

She learned English since she was really young and started learning Mandarin after she joined SM because she wanted to be able to communicate easily with foreigner trainees

She appeared on “The Masked Singer” and on “Running Man”

Eunjae would like the be on “Law Of The Jungle”

Eunjae likes playing sports with her members

She is good friends with Aespa’s Ningning, Jeon Somi and Astro’s Sanha

Scandals & Drama:

Information leaked that SM was planning on letting Eunjae graduate from NCT Dream despite her age with Mark in 2018

According to the leaks it was said that Eunjae would graduate because “She graduated NCT Dream’s concept” (SM alleged official Statement) and it would be promised that she would be put into a new unit (in the future) that would fit her image better

SM has not elaborated on the leaks, but fans speculate they were planning to put Eunjae in WayV who debuted 2019

Instead Minnie debuted with WayV

During Eunjae’s first year(s) of being an idol, she received a lot of negative attention from (mostly Korean) fans for her weight and her visuals

She seemed to struggle to manage her weight and her appearance would change visibly between different promotions

She was never overweight, she just carried most of her weight in her face making her overall look chubbier, yet the harsh beauty standards in Korea/Asia made her the target of many online malicious comments

K-netizens criticised her a lot for her a lot for her appearance along with being a girl in a boy group, giving her the title of least liked member of NCT in Korea which definitely seemed to hurt her confidence on stage

In 2018 she lost most of her baby fat and the hate towards her seemed to lessen significantly

In 2018-2019 her individual fan base started to grown and she gained a lot of Korean fans who started to acknowledge her vocal skills

During ‘Ridin’’ era many fans started praising her for her visuals, garnering her the love of locals who started to acknowledge her visuals 

When NCT 2018 visited Weekly Idol the hosts made a very unnecessary comment after during the ‘Cover Dance Battle’ segment

Eunjae didn’t participate in any of the dances until until the girl group songs came up and she got coaxed into dancing by her fellow members

She knew all of the dances and did them really well, earning a lot of cheers from the members

Once the segment ended and the win went towards Haechan and NCT 127, the host Connie (Defconn) said: “Eunjae-ssi. You were very good at the girl group dances,” to which the other host, Donnie (Jung Hyung-don), added: “Haven’t you thought about debuting in a girl group? Looks like you’d do well.”

Eunjae, visibly uncomfortable, just thanked the hosts for the compliments, avoiding the question and they all moved on with the show

During the rest of the show Eunjae’s energy seemed significantly lower than earlier in the show, but she stayed professional and kept smiling while participating in the last segment

Her fellow members also seemed a bit uncomfortable after the comment and some would even stay by her side for the rest of the episode

FT Island: how I got into them Part 2/2

How I picked Jaejin to become my bias

It was because of Weekly Idol.

Fan of kpop groups that debuted or are active around the 2nd gen and early 3rd gen era (around 2010 to 2014) will definitely know Weekly idol. It was probably the best idol variety show to know more about a group that you are interested in. The best thing about the show is probably the hosts Jung Hyung Don and Defconn, who managed to work their magic and make even the most introverted/shyest idols warm up so that they could showcase their charming points & attract fans + make every episode hilarious such that you would watch an entire episode even if you didn't know the group at all.

More about the show is in the link below:

The first Ft Island's weekly idol episode I watched was the episode that aired on 29 april 2015 when they are promoting pray.

Right from the get go, they were really funny because the members are familiar with the hosts. (they were from the same company) And the most hilarious part was when they performed with cg instruments for the "random play dance" segment but couldn't get pass the first song because there was so many mishaps occurring. By the end of the 25 minutes, I was sure that they are not normal beings and that each of the member are hilarious in their own way.

But I liked Jaejin the most as he seemed the most chill and omgosh his voice. I fell in love with his voice immediately ~~

Jaejin's nowadays

Nowadays he is actively involved in musicals and I am really happy that he has a place to showcase his passion and talent for acting and singing at the same time.

Him being casted as arthur in the musical "vampire arthur" is such a perfect choice. His cuteness really shines through the character.

How does he still look so young, I really need to know. He looked almost the same as he did 10 years ago, or probably even better.

About Hongjin

I must confess that this wasn't the ship that I shipped when I first became a primadonna. I shipped seungjin (seunghyun and jaejin) instead. But gosh, they ended up being the sweetest couple and outlived all the other ft island ships.

Yoo Jae-hwan, aftereffects of panic disorder → sleep immersion…

The depressing story of singer Yoo Jae-hwan of ‘Hyoja Village’ drew attention.

In ENA's 'Hyoja Village', which aired on the 22nd, Yoo Jae-hwan and his mother returned home after 'Hyoja Arcade'.

After drinking canned beer, Yoo Jae-hwan went to bed, saying, "You should fall asleep when it's so bland." After waking up, Yoo Jae-hwan's mother prepared beef porridge for Yang Jun-hyeok's father, who was left alone in Hyoja Village, and invited him to her house.

Yoo Jae-hwan's mother showed a cautious appearance by closing the door of her room so as not to wake her son who was sleeping snoring, but complained of frustration, saying, "What kind of kid snores like that?" .

Time passed after that, but Yoo Jae-hwan was still wandering in the land of dreams. After waking up, the mother cooked porridge and simply set the table with leftover scorched rice, and continued to eat alone, causing the MCs to feel sorry.

In her interview, her mother said, “It was normal for her son to work in his room every day for several months and meet people when they came. It seems that the child has been released because he is out in nature like this,” she said. It's sad in a way. Isn’t he trying to live too?” she revealed the reason for not waking Yoo Jae-hwan.

Earlier, through a pre-interview, Yoo Jae-hwan said, “I have a lot of pain. I also have panic attacks and sleep problems. I can't sleep without sleeping pills. It was disrespectful to show my mother the things I couldn't show because I was sick."

In response, MC Defconn said, “There are so many places where Jaehwan is sick. The mother explained that it would be nice just to see her son sleeping well.

After waking up after about 3 hours of sleep, Yoo Jae-hwan said, "I don't know why I'm so sleepy. I have never slept like this before.” Afterwards, the two of them went for a walk in the village of filial piety. The two of them listened to the sound of the water, enjoyed the guitar performance, joked around, and quarreled, etc., and showed a friend-like side of the hat, creating a sense of warmth.

The mother said, “(Honestly) I can’t say that Jaehwan is a filial son. If you were a filial son, you would have to pay attention to your mother, but I told you not to do that,” she said. “You have to be successful and have a good social life. She always said to do half. She (Jae-hwan) is a filial son like a daughter,” she mentioned.

Defconn, who watched the interview, said, “My mother went through a big crisis because of her illness, and Jaehwan-ssi was also mentally difficult. The two of them probably had a lot of heartache seeing each other like that,” he said, “Still, there are many things to learn from these two smiling brightly, and it seems good to see them,” drawing empathy from the MCs.

Wonwoo's personal opinion on the bottom 3 in looks.

I love how Hyeong-don is like JUN?!?! But then when Wonwoo says Seungkwan they're like, Oh yes we agree with that. 😂😂😂

[via-bipolar]

I realized this after a long time of pain, That pain can also become a path. There is no life where no wind blows. The wind must blow, so that the tree will root deep inside the earth... So that it won’t fall over. That is why the wind shakes the trees That is why the wind shakes all of us Pain can also become a path. Sadness can also become a path.

- Taehyun’s laugh when Jongmin got the fish question right 💜

- Donggu finally got seaweed but shared it with the others (T^T)💘

Shinsung "I lived an unknown life for 8 years… I have never given pocket money to my parents"

Singer Shin Sung of 'Filial Son's Village' recalled the past when he was unable to be filial due to long obscurity.

In ENA's 'Hyoja Village', which aired on the 22nd, Shin Sung and his son went out for the first time after entering the Hyoja Village.

On this day, Shin Sung helped his father decorate the flowers before going out for the first time. Shin Sung persuaded his father, who refused to do so, saying, “You have to go out and take pictures.

In the end, the father borrowed his son's hand and put on sunscreen and simple makeup.

Defconn, who saw this, expressed surprise, "I really have to do that as a son, but I can't. I'm used to it when I see my father sitting still. How much Shin Sung must have done normally?"

Shinsung suggested, "Let's eat mandarin fish maeuntang that my father wanted to eat and go sightseeing."

When his father was worried about the high price of Maeuntang, Shin Sung showed a reassuring son, saying, "Can I not buy that much?"

My father couldn't take his eyes off the mandarin fish soup and expressed his excitement, saying, "It seems very appealing. I smelled it."

His father, who was envious of Yang Jun-hyeok, who had previously praised mandarin fish maeuntang, couldn't help but exclaim, "The mandarin fish maeuntang is so delicious."

The father even refilled it and said, “Thanks to my son, I came here to see the filial piety too,” causing laughter.

On the other hand, Shin Sung, who was looking at his happy father, recalled his long unknown life, saying, "I started being unknown when I was 30. I'm 38 now, so it's been 8 years."

He continued, "My father always did the best thing for his son. When he released an album, he also paid for the support for the album, and he only spent money on his parents, but he never gave pocket money properly."

"But now, when I bring them with me, my parents say, 'Hey, this place is too expensive.' This will happen," he said, evoking a sense of satisfaction.
