#also exo's song is so good holy fuck

[decembermoonskz]

okie my mom got me to do a kpop catch up 

so i’ve heard these songs: seven - jungkook cream soda - exo overdrive - i.m juice - shinee

[srirachaz]

I really want to go through nct's discography but holy cow where do I start I'm thinking 127 dream wish wayv u superm nd thsn the full albums

ok i apologize for the massive fucking wall of text that follows this paragraph but i'm in fact a huge nctzen (i listen to literally every subunit and solo i love them all)

127 is for sure the most popular but wish and wayv might be easier to start with because they have a smaller discography. unfortunately no matter how you slice it it'll take forever to get though because all the groups keep releasing banger after banger so try some sample songs to see which discographies you vibe with:

nct wish: hands up, wish. they're still in their teenage idoldom and their songs reflect that! very cute, very easy listening, very underrated. their bsides have a similar vibe to their tts and are very 2018 reminiscent. if you like riize, wannaone, or tws this is for you

nct dream: candy, istj, broken melodies, beatbox, smoothie, hot sauce. dream has 2 modes: early dream (cir. 2018-2020) with cutesy teen stuff and later dream (anything recent) that incorporates more 127 experimental sounds and is a little more mature but retains the amazing vocal quality they always had. their bsides range from ballads to heavenly hamonies (please listen to box omg) with a noisier song every once in a while. if you like seventeen, shinee, or stray kids this is for you

wayv: moonwalk, phantom, give me that. any given wayv tt is a good one so you'll never go wrong. melodic and life-changing, with harmonies to die for. generally a more mature vibe, and they can include noise really well. the raps lean into a darker heavier tone. their bsides range from melodic to club bangers, but each bside goes really well with the album. if you like exo, tvxq, taemin, or monsta x this is for you

nct 127: cherry bomb, fact check, fire truck, 2 baddies, kick it, superhuman, ay-yo, walk, simon says, sticker. very experimental, very fun. club music loves 127. their bsides tend to be a little softer? slower? idk how to describe it but they're usually showing off more of their vocal capabilities, so the tt isn't usually the same vibe as to what the rest of the album is. if you like stray kids, ateez, or block b this is for you

nct u: 7th sense, 90's love, make a wish, baggy jeans, baby don't stop, misfit. nct u bsides are usually to show off individual groups and the albums flow together really well, they're produced nicely. kind of a mix of the other ncts so if you like those you'll like nct u.

other: perfume, shalala, off the mask, nightwalker, smoke, little light, each completely different, each album perfect to listen to.

superM (bonus!): tiger inside, jopping. superm bsides all fuck hard and definitely should be listened to in full

i also have a separate list of nct b-side bangers but that can wait lmfao

HOWEVER NCT LOVES THEIR GENRE MIXING SO SOMETIMES THEY DO SONGS OUT OF LEFT FIELD THAT SOUND NOTHING LIKE THE REST OF THEIR STUFF WHICH IS OK BUT SOMETIMES IT'S A JUMP SCARE BASS LINE OR A RANDOM BALLAD

Rover initial thoughts

IT’S SO FREAKING GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

I AM LIVING!!! Like I said earlier this has probably been the most fun comeback I’ve ever experienced since becoming a kpop fan a few years ago. Rover is my favorite Kai title track yet! I am absolutely obsessed, with both the song and the mv. 

Rover: Musically Rover is so catchy, an absolute banger. I can’t help but dance whenever I hear it. I was worried when I heard the mv teaser that it would be kind of monotone but it’s actually got so much beautiful complexity. I love how it builds. I love the vocal layering (on Rover and on the entire album) — the richness of that is one of the things I love most about his and exo’s music. His voice blew me away yet again, and his deep voice for the raps??? Holy crap I was not expecting that. I’m not even a big fan of rap but I swear every time he opened his mouth for those parts my soul separated from my body (especially when combined with the visuals in the mv... yeah). He killed me and sent me straight to heaven.

Someone said the mv is delicious. I can’t describe it better. The scenes, the coloring, the outfits, everything is so gorgeous. THE BALLERINAS????  He did that for me 😭😭😭 And the concept/plot!! Spy/scammer X-Kai? I’m 100% here for it. That ending too... I gasped. The whole thing is just kpop perfection, everything I could have wanted. 

(Okay, I take that back, I was hoping to see him do a few ballet moves, but maybe that will come with Film: Kai 2. And being a former ballet dancer I know how difficult that would be to train for, so I won’t be too disappointed if not... but still, just imagine 🥺)

I’ve been listening to the album over and over since it dropped and I’m loving it more and more every time. It’s impossible for me to pick a favorite yet, so I’ll just go through the rest of the songs in album order:

Black Mirror: Okay so I wasn’t sure about this one from the teaser—yeah that beat is absolute fire, but I’m definitely more of an r&b and pop fan than hip-hop and rap, and I wasn’t sure if it would be my vibe or not. I needn’t have worried. It’s incredible omg. So well-crafted from start to finish. His voice is mesmerizing, whether rapping or singing. The second verse where the vocal layering comes in? I’m ascending once again. Every time I listen I have to stop what I’m doing and just let myself be swept away. This song is a transcendental experience. 

Slidin’: Speaking of transcendental experiences, this one takes the cake. That hypnotizing arpeggio behind his even more hypnotizing voice? Ugh it’s so good I can’t handle it. Also those lyrics... yeah 🥵 I saw someone say this is Kai’s Baekhyun Drown moment. Anyway the whole song is heavenly, but the last 35 seconds? Not only did I ascend, I felt like I was being serenaded by a chorus of angels. This song may be my favorite on the album. 

Bomba: Maybe I’m missing something or maybe it’s because I don’t really listen to reggaeton, but this song isn’t my favorite. I still like it, and jam out whenever it comes on, but I’m relieved it didn’t end up being the title. Rover just feels so much more complex. I do love his glorious vocals in the bridge. Time will tell if it’ll be the type of song that will grow on me a ton or if I’ll end up skipping it sometimes, but regardless, I am SO excited to see him perform this, it’s going to be fire.

Say You Love Me: Oh this song FUCKS. No other way to say it. Gorgeous, haunting, captivating. Every time I listen to it I fall into its charms more deeply. What a mood. His voice!! I could see this one eventually becoming my favorite, it’s a close contender for the top spot.

Sinner: This is the one I thought from the teasers would be my favorite, and indeed, it’s also a top contender. The first time I heard it in full I wasn’t sure about it; the different way he sings it and the relatively simple melody took a minute to get used to, but by the second or third listen I was completely seeing the vision. The emotion in his voice, or is it deadness? The feeling of defeat? It hits hard. And I absolute love the way each chorus changes, morphs into something different and new, each repetition telling its own story, changing the tone of the words, capped off by the magnificent, soaring final chorus. So beautiful.

All in all I’m so so happy, I can’t believe he’s done it again. So proud of all Jongin’s hard work. You can tell he spent so much time pouring over these songs, tweaking everything to be just how he wanted, adding so many layers and so much depth. I imagine this will be like his first album for me — no matter how many times I listen, I will hear something new. Currently nothing can beat his first album overall for me, that is quite possibly my favorite album of all time, but this one... it’s more than a worthy sequel, it stands on its own along with Peaches and I think it’s truly another masterpiece. So proud of Jongin, my heart is full ❤️

i’m curious - how would you rank kpop dancers? i think taemin is the Standard because he’s just that good. others who stand out to me are boa, kai, and chungha

i should probably preface this to the new people that have come around since i started doing kingdom reviews and don't know: i'm not a trained dancer but i have worked extensively and had very close relationships with dancers for the last decade, and i do consume a fair amount of dance-related content outside of kpop.

i actually have a few categories that i rank kpop dancers on, so i wouldn't say i have a definitive ranking of best dancers, but i do have a scale of the ones that personally I like watching the most. my enjoyment of watching a dancer depends on three points: how technically skilled the dancer is, their style and charisma, and ability to execute the concept/choreography (with the obvious caveat that not all kpop dancers have been active long enough or are in place where they have artistic control over concepts). my personal preferences lean much more heavily towards personal style and concept, because technical skill is just practice. something i consider to be the sign of a true artist in any field is synthesis; the ability to understand how to create something that’s optimized specifically for the circumstances. i do agree, i think taemin is the standard because he does have this holy trinity. but he has an advantage because he’s been active for SO long; he's had the time to develop a signature style and the dude is insanely smart. he knows how to deconstruct his concepts and his movements into the bare essentials that are sharped to the most effective precision. this interview with jaejae is an excellent watch if you’re curious and have 20 minutes because it's just him talking about the specific movements he makes and why he makes them. he also works to a very high conceptual degree that is uncommon within kpop, so it makes him stand out even more as an artist. rain and boa i would also put up near the top, because they have had insanely long careers to hone their skills and artistry. my other top female dancers would probably be hyoyeon, chungha, and hyuna. i really enjoy watching hyuna’s choreos because they're always a little bit weird and fitting to the songs themselves. flower shower is one of my faves of hers. 

as far as male dancers go, taemin is, unsurprisingly, my favourite. i do think kai is deserving of a top ranking because he is extremely talented and i LOVE the concept film for his solo debut, but his personal style really irks me because he never finishes his extensions. i think this is partially an sm training thing and also partially because the dude has like, a permanently fucked up back. i enjoy watching zhang yixing (lay) much more, and yes i am going to include him because he’s still technically a part of exo and that counts. i find him more expressive, and also he, like taemin, has very clear conceptual intentions for the work that he makes. also his main style currently is krump, which is extremely funny because he’s such a softie and also fuckin KRUMP? it's both a difficult street dance subgenre and a very uncommon style to see in east asian media, so the fact he’s out there doing it at all is impressive. here’s a favourite stage of mine, and also this stage from sdc3.

there’s a number of younger generation male dancers that i think are very talented and given time, could come close to reaching this triple threat level. hwanwoong from oneus can perform, plus he’s pretty adept at switching between different styles and also he’s got a good choreography brain. ten also, it would be very remiss of me to not mention him; he has a very distinct style and the lovely choreo he did with winwin is a beautiful piece of contemporary dance. also hoshi, i dont watch any seventeen content but spider?? damn boy, you might give taemin a run for his money if you keep this up while he’s away.

there’s a lot of others that i think are skilled and i love watching, but don't necessarily have the same sort of all encompassing draw; runners’ up include yoo taeyang, shownu, yugyeom, and key.

now if we want to get talking on favourite choreos, as a separate entity from dancers, that a whoooooole ‘nother post (that’s probably twice as long lmao)

Joanne is running late

She just texted me that she'll be here in ten minutes. She was with the group EXO working on the choreography for their new song.

That makes me so fucking jealous

Does she like one of them? Is that why she's there late? Did she forget about me?

Joanne is our choreographer right now. She came to Korea from the U.S. to teach k-pop groups choreography. And stupid me fell in love with her.

At first everything was ok, she was just a girl. I asked her to stay later to help me with the choreography. I'm not dumb, I know I'm a terrible dancer. And if she agreed then I'd get the extra help to get better

She agreed and she's been helping me dance privately for a little over a year. Even then, we were just friends.

Of course I noticed how beautiful and sexy she is with her long dark brown hair, brown eyes and amazing smile. Her personality is amazing too. She's so sweet and helpful. She's funny and she laughs at all my jokes. And it's real laughter, not fake like the guys do sometimes

But I was so focused on getting better at dancing, I didn't noticed I was falling for her. I finally realized my feelings for her when I saw her and Hoseok always together. They talk about dancing or the choreo. He also helps her teach us or comes up with moves for the dance.

I gt so jealous all the time. I want her near me, to talk to me, to look at me.

And I realized I fell in love

💜💜💜💜💜

Joanne bursts into the dance studio apologizing, "I'm sorry Jin. I lost track of time and I came as soon as I could."

I look at her and say, "Yeah it's ok"

I'm pissed off. Not because she's late but because I'm jealous she was with EXO

She walks to me, "Are you ready? I'll stay longer to make up the time."

"Yeah ok"

"Which song do you want to start with?"

"I need you. It's our newest song and were going to have to perform it hundreds of times."

She nods

She starts the music, we face the mirror and start the choreography.

I watch as her body moves. She moves so flawlessly, her body just going along with the music. I'm mesmerized. She so sexy

I wonder what sex with her would be like

Jesus, where did that come from?

"Move your arms more Jin. Like this"

She demonstrates and I follow. She walks to me and helps me position my arm the right way. Heat explodes in my body when she touches me

"You have to loosen up a bit Jin. Relax your shoulder."

She touches my shoulder and I see her swallow hard, her eyes wide. When I look at her, I see want in her eyes

For me

Me?

Does she...does she feel the same?

She bites her lip as she looks at me. I can't take it. The next thing I know, I push her up against the mirror, my lips on hers

Fuck

My body comes alive from her kiss. She kisses me back, her arms going around my neck. I lick her lips and she opens her mouth The second her tongue touches mine, fireworks explode in my vision. Fuck, I've wanted her so much and I'm happy she's responding to me like this

One of her hands go in my hair and pulls. Fuck it feels so good, I moan

Pulling me more against her, still continues to kiss me. Her body feels so good against mine

I feel myself getting hard and I'm nervous because it's right against her leg. I don't know if she notices or not. I start kissing down her neck and she moans

"Fuck, touch me Jin", she whispers

Holy shit, she wants this just as much as I do. I move my hand down her body and slide it under her pants and panties. When I touch her, I groan at how wet she is

She whispers in my ear, "Fuck Jin, you make me so fucking wet. Just feeling your hard on, got me soaked"

God, she's amazing

"Fuck, I do?", I ask, while moving my fingers on her clit

"Yeah. Every time I see you, whatever you're doing, I just want you and I get wet."

I'm blown away that I make her feel like that

I slip two fingers inside and she cry out, "Jin".

I growl in her neck, then say, "I want you"

"Yes"

"Can I have it?"

"Yes, yes. Take whatever you want", she moans

"Take it?", I ask

Take whatever I want? I want a lot from her

"Yes take it"

I take my hand out of her pants, pulling her away from the mirror. I catch her lips again still, pushing her backward until the back of her legs hit a chair. Grabbing her pants and panties, I pull them down. I have to pull off her sneakers to get them off completely. Then I toss them somewhere behind me

"Sit", I command

She does and I sit in front of her. She's a bit far from me so I pull her by her hips to the edge of the chair.

I open her legs wide and swipe my tongue up her.

"Fuck", she shout

I smirk and continue to lick her everywhere. I've wanted to do this for so long. I want to know how all of her tastes. Her pussy feels amazing against my tongue and she's moaning so loudly. I'm happy she likes it

Her hand slides in my hair and pulls. I can't help but moan in her

"Yeah Jin, don't stop"

I look up at her, still getting her off with my tongue and see she's watching me

I smirk

"Tell me what you want", I tease her

"I...II...III" she stutters

I smile at how much of a mess I'm making her.

"What's the matter baby? You can't talk?"

"Uhh, nn...noo, fuck", she cries

"Well I don't know what you want unless you tell me", I say between licks

"I..I want...yo.."

"Yeah?"

"I..want..you're fucking beautiful lips to suck on my clit"

Fuck, yes. Anything she wants

I latch my lips on her clit and suck hard

"Jesus", she screams

She leans back on the chair with her eyes closed, her mouth open and breathing heavily. I let go of her clit and use my tongue to flick it

"Yes" she screams

I found where she likes it. I flick her clit again and she cums, screaming my name.

"Jin! God, Jin!"

I taste her cum on my tongue and it's now the best thing I ever tasted. I don't want to stop so I don't.

I moan, "Fuck, Joanne, you taste so fuckinh good. You're my favorite thing to eat now"

I keep going and slide my tongue inside her. It feels so wet

"Aaaaa, Jin", she yells again coming on my tongue and snapping her hips up, pushing her pussy in my mouth.

Fuck I love that so much. I want more but she pushes me back andI make a whining sound. She moves down to the floor in front of me. Grabbing me by my shirt and she pulls me to her, her lips on mine. She grips the bottom of my shirt and lifts it off me. I take her shirt off and undo her bra in one second.

She kisses me and pushes me back until I'm laying back on my elbows. She hooks her fingers under my pants and boxers, pulling them down. I lift myself up so she can pull them down easier

"Fuck baby, your cock is so fucking big"

I blush as she climbs on top of me, hovering right over my cock. God damn her body is so sexy. She bites her lip and looks at me

I nod

When she slides down my shaft, we both cry out in pleasure.

Oh my god, oh my god, it feels so good

She leans over me and kisses me. Then she kisses along my neck, touching my shoulders, arms and chest

"Your fucking body turns me on so much Jin"

I'm so surprised that she feels like that about me. I don't have abs like Jimin does

"I love your arms, your shoulders, your chest, your gorgeous eyes, your fucking beautiful lips", she says and kisses me again

I want to tell her how I feel about her. But then she lifts herself up and slam down on me.

I shout out from the sudden movement and the pleasure flooding my body. She's so goddamn tight as she moves quickly and hard up and down my cock.

"Fuck Joanne. You're so good at this"

I watch her, my cock going in and out, soaked with her wetness

"Harder, fuck, harder", I growl, "I want to go deeper in you"

She starts slamming herself on me harder and harder. I feel my cock hit a spot deep inside her and she screams. I need to hit her there again so I snap my hips up, right where she likes it

"Fuck Jin! Your cock feels so good!", She cries

I grunt as I keep going, hitting her in the same spot over and over. Her pussy clamps and squeezes me, and she screams my name as she cums on my cock. She's so fucking beautiful

"JIN, JIN! God JIN!"

"Fuck Joanne, keep doing that, keep squeezing me. Don't stop moving.", I cry out

I can't tear my eyes away from her riding me, her cum all over my cock. It's such a fucking turn on. We're both sweating and out of breath but she doesn't stop.

"Jin, baby, cum. I want you to cum.", She yells

She slams herself on me over and over and I just give in to the pleasure

"Fuck, Joanne. Baby! God", I shout and cum hard in her

I lay back, exhausted and she lays on top of me. Once we both catch our breaths, I sit up again, face to face with her

She moves to get off me but I say, "No. Stay"

I smile at her and pull her to me catching her lips in another kiss

I just decide to tell her how I feel. After what we just did, I feel more confident about telling her. I know I fake confidence to our ARMYS, but I'm really not like that.. I pull away, then reach up and move hair from her face.

"Uh, is this a good time to ask you to go out with me?"

She bursts out laughing and I laugh too

"Sure Jin, I'll go out with you", she smiles

"Uh actually, since we just..uh..", I trail off

"Tell me Jin", she asks, running her fingers through my hair

It feels so good

"I love you. I know it's coming out of nowhere, but I realized after all the time we spent together practicing, that I fell in love with you. I don't expect you to feel the same, but what we just did was the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. And I'd want to know if maybe, you'd be mine?"

"Yes", she answers immediately

And I look up surprised and she's smiling at me

"Jin, I love you too. I wanted you the second I saw you. But as I got to know you, I fell in love. I didn't know if I should of kept quiet or say something to you. I didn't want to scare you and I thought you just saw me as someone you worked with.", she confesses, "But I love you Jin and yes, I want to be with you. So much"

I'm elated and my face breaks in a huge smile. I finally have her. After waiting so long for her, she's finally mine

I kiss her passionately with her kissing me back. Fuck me, I love her kisses

"Uh do you still want to practice?", she asks after I pull away

"I guess. I'm relaxed now", I smirk

She rolls her eyes and gets up. I do too. We both get our clothes and get dressed then I go over and hug her from behind, kissing her cheek.

"Come on Jin", she turn in my arms

I kiss her lips again and my body reacts to her

Shit. I want her again

"Jin", she pulls away, "Jin, we have to practice"

I make a whiny sound and kiss her again

"Jin", she says between kisses, "You have to practice. If you practice, then we can do whatever you want after"

I stop kissing her and look down at her

"Whatever I want?", I smirk

"Yes Jin. Whatever you want. I know what you want. And I want what you want too"

"Yeah?"

She nods

"Ok. Then play the music", I say

I kiss her once more again, then stand in the dance position for 'I Need U'. She plays the music and we start dancing

💜💜💜💜💜

We do the choreography to "I Need U" a few times. She helps with with some moves and tells me to relax, that I'm too rigid and stiff.

I resist the urge to take her on the floor again but just barely. I'm thinking about what she promised after we finish practicing.

And I can't wait

We're finally done and I can't wait to be with her. She shuts the music off and is starting to walk to the door

"C'mon Jin", she calls

I need her again. Now. And I go after her and push her against the wall

"Damn Jin. You want it again right now?"

"Yeah", I answer as I kiss her neck, "Don't you?"

"Yeah", she moans

Fuck, her moans drive me insane. I pull at her pants and bring everything down. Her pants won't go over her fucking sneakers, so I just pull one off and take her pants and panties off that leg. Everything falls down to her ankle on the other leg

She pulls my pants and boxers off and they fall to my ankles too. I kiss her as I touch her with my fingers. God she's so wet already

"Your already ready for me baby?"

She nods, "Yeah Jin, all for you. I told you, you make me so fucking wet"

Christ

I lift her leg and wrap it around my waist. Then I plunge in her and she cries out in pleasure. God she really is so fucking tight and it feels phenomenal

I grab at her shirt and pull it down with her bra freeing her breasts. Taking one of her nipples in my mouth, I suck and begin to pound into her

"Yes, yes, yes", she cries out

I love that she loves it. Switching to her other nipple, she moans loudly. Being inside her is incredible

It's only the second time and it's the only place I want to be . The way she tightens and pulls on me drives me insane and gives me the most intense pleasure I ever felt. I love it when she does that. I love how tight she makes herself and the feeling of me coming through

"Jin, oh Jin"

"Yeah baby, who makes you feel this good?"

"You Jin, fuck me, you"

"Who do you love pounding into you like this"

"You Jin. Only you", she cries

I move her leg higher and I'm able to hit her deeper. I remember when she was on top of me and I hit that spot that drove her crazy. I need to find it and do it again

I adjust my hips and her leg again and this time when I slam in, I hit the spot and she screams

"Found it", I smirk at her

"Mmmm"

"Right there baby? You want me to hit you right there?", I tease

She nods her head rapidly, clinging onto me, her arms around my neck one hand in my hair at the back of my neck. I kiss her chest and neck and increase my speed and how hard I'm pounding in to her. I feel her getting ready and I go faster

"JIN, fuck JIN! Oh god JIN", she screams

Her body shakes when she orgasms and I have to hold her up to keep her from falling. But I don't stop. I want her to orgasm again. I love feeling it and I love watching her. I keep going and within a minute she's ready again

She screams again and I feel her release on me. Fuck it feels so good

"JIN" she cries

"One more time baby. One more time for me", I ask

She moans, "Ok Jinnie."

"Good girl"

It takes even less time for her to be ready

"Scream princess. I want to hear you scream", I groan

"JIN! JIN! JIN!", she screams and cums all over me again, in an intense orgasm

This time though I let go and yell her name as the pleasure shoots through my body and I cum deep inside her

"Joanne! God baby! JOANNE!"

I rest my head against her shoulder, listening to her breathing hard

"Holy shit"

My head snaps up and I look to see Hobi, Jimin and Tae standing in the practice room, staring at us, shock all over their faces

"Shit", Joanne squeals and hides her face

I still have her leg around me and my hand on on her breast so they can't see anything.

"How long have you been standing there?", I demand

"Uh...", Jimin says

"Ahhh ummm", Hobi stutters

"Just um the last...you know", Tae said

"You watched us?", Joanne shrieks

"No! I mean yes! But not on purpose!", Jimin shouts

"We were looking for you Jin. Then we heard noises and yelling. So we came to see what was happening. We couldn't hear what you were saying. We thought someone was hurt", Hobi explains

"And when we opened the door, we saw you two and uh, we were just shocked", Tae adds

"We didn't mean to see...it's just that when we came in you guys were....uh finishing and screaming each others name", Jimin finishes

"Oh god," Joanne says

"We're sorry..."

"Get out", I snap

"Right. Uh sorry. Should we wait or?", Tae asks

"Just go!", Joanne interrupts yelling

"Ok"

They practically run out of the room.

I put Joanne's leg down and she immediately starts pulling her clothes on

"I can't fucking believe this", she mutters

"It was an accident", I reply

"I know but how can you be so calm about this?"

"Because it happened. We can't change it.", I say, "Plus it was fun. Better than before"

She stares at me, then laughs

"It was."

After she's dressed, I walk over to her.

"So you liked it?", I ask feeling shy

"Liked it? I loved it", she smiles at me

"Thank god I wasn't the only one", I say relieved she enjoyed it just as much as I did

I'd be very upset if she didn't.

"C'mon, let's go face them if they're still here", I say

She looks like that is the last thing she wants to do.

"It'll be ok. As long we're together it'll be ok"

She smiles and me, leaning up to kiss me

"I love you Jin"

"I love you Joanne"

I take her hand and lead her out the door

Hey Caro ☺️ I just took your super m quiz - thanks for making such a fun quiz, I feel like it helped me get into super m! I know nothing about them yet but I thought it fit soo well that I got Kai bc I’m a full time dancer - now you have me super curious about him 👀👀

KAI :: INTRODUCTION MASTERPOST (dance focus)

so you wanna know about the god of k-pop choreo? oh yeah, i’ll talk to you about fucking kai! if you dance, this guy is the #1 must-know. once you see him move, there’s no going back. i don’t exaggerate: kai is the gold standard. brace yourselves, i’ll show you why.

kim kai aka kim jongin (27) is a solo artist and super m’s plus exo’s main dancer — est 2019 and 2012 respectively — heading either group with a passionate, hyper-physical style that roots in his early practice of of jazz dance and ballet. the influence definitely shows. 

learning choreography, he’s become the gorgeous fusion of emotional grace and explosive power that unites both tension and extreme accuracy. while at the same time: never sacrificing his interpretation. and HOW MUCH HE BLEEDS FOR HIS CRAFT. he enjoys it so much. 

and he’s communicating it 100%, jongin’s dance is so interactive and raw, luring. i swear to god, put the seatbelts on for this one. it’s never just him, it’s you as well. you’ve never seen this before. he’s like “yes, i meant you, i’m looking at you”:

he’s even gonna modify the choreography to point right at you to underline that very thought. he’s so good, he can learn it, ace it, epitomize it, and do his own thing anyway. even the person in the last row will get whatever point kai wants to make. this is dance that belongs on the biggest stages.

even when he films without a crowd, it’s like you’re literally standing opposite to him. he focuses on two people: his moves, and the viewer. he has it look like you made him smile and self-aware, or you made him determined. INCREDIBLE. he shows his charisma, BUT he also shows your own (!) impact on him. it’s a duet. he wants you to join him on the dancefloor. this is from exo’s call me baby mv where kai does his famous come-hither:

he flirts and he encourages. he values the audience and wants them to be confident as well. i think it’s the reason why he’s so outstanding and addictive, kai thinks beyond himself. it’s a tango he involves you in with his eyes and how he opens his body, interprets a lyric.

it’s not about imposing himself going one way. instead: he plays the back and forth ALL. THE. TIME. in any context. whether it be frivolous, or fun, or gloomy, or sweet. even with a simple little smiley wink it’s happening. and he acts like you had a reaction to it. there’s literally just a camera.

this guy’s physique, strength, elegance, feeling for the beat, character portrayal (!), and control is unbelievable. he’s destroyed it in every fancam out there. he can’t switch it off even if he tried. your eyes would go toward him in the largest group formation still. put him in the center, that’s his spot, he showcases it.

because he doesn’t just show learned moves, he makes it radiate something dynamic and animalistic (he embodies superm’s ‘tiger inside’ all the way). 

jongin’s dance says: i love this, you love this, let’s do this, the feeling is right. he makes bodies and unrestrained touch the opposite of wrong, he pronounces it a source of having fun and being instinctual. and he never breaks the tie with you throughout, and uses his shoulders and lips to put the oomph into it. 

he uses innuendo and a ‘we both know’ sentiment perfectly as an invitation rather than just going through his routine. that’s how he can make each move fascinating. you can tell kai knows exactly how to make everyone scream their lungs out. i bet somebody held their breath just reading this post already.

exo’s most famous choreo is ‘monster’ (kai focus linked) with good reason: jongin can turn himself into nothing short of a roaring beast. it’s one sharp, complex move after the other. kai can bend any gravitational law he wants to show any feeling and pose he wants. a glimpse:

now, how to spot him in general if you’re new to him? here are some pointers. kai’s execution is clean, fast, and powerful. those are two decades (!) of experience showing. kai is an all or nothing dancer, he plays no games. he treats every group and solo stage like his best and last. his work ethic is beyond words. yeah, he’s a capricorn. his style is direct as can be, working every axis.

as you can see, jongin is hard to overlook anyway: he’s a 182cm giant made of steel. he strives to acutely visualize impact in his style and it is always successful. in fact, it’s his signature. it’s like he creates invisible objects and pushes through them. boom, he just burst another bubble.

when the song gets to his part, i guarantee you won’t miss him and all the boldness and expression he brings to enrich the performance. hell... he carries it. jongin can handle the center, i’m telling you. (look how fast he rotates here)

talking features — this is what to look for when he dances in a group setting: you can recognize kai’s face by how wide, bluntly structured and sensual it is. jongin is a sight. he has such an aura, serious, sultry, and smiling alike.

with a very recognizable silhouette (like... holy hell!):

he’s very cute as well ♡ the fandom and kai himself have an adorable analogy going on. jongin calls himself a teddy/nini bear and we joined in on it. (i made a thread about it here, it talks more about his offstage life) — hence kai’s fans are called eri-gom, eris as in exo’s fanbase and gom meaning bear. 

and i mean. look at him. what an attractive guy. he’s that handsome. strong brows, teddy eyes, square jaw, swept hair, glorious lips, tan skin. 

now yes, something important concerning his appearance and a serious topic: i don’t want to list you the endless instances of colorism that kai has to endure but it has to be mentioned. jongin has been called every name in the book and people agonize him over his skin incessantly. it goes on and on and on. every day a new terrible comment about him emerges because some pitiful person thought it was funny and would elevate them. 

he’s had to deflect, ignore, reframe, defend, remotivate, assert, harden, prove, denounce, and push himself, protect his confidence, decline skin bleaching constantly, laugh along, dance and practice thrice as hard to get the respect, and still see his dignity torn to pieces all day. i’ll just give it to you straight, that’s all fucked up. kai’s skin is perfect, he’s amazing and wonderful. 

in his own words:

— exactly right. say it even louder.

having him at the bottom of every joke is weird and messed up. this man is an utter beauty and nothing has to be fixed. it is up to him to define himself rather than get called ugly for his skin’s appearance by default, and get whitewashed at every opportunity. it’s been going on for 27 years, he scrunitizes himself all the time and doesn’t look at himself fondly because he hears these beatdowns daily.

it’s heartbreaking that this happens literally with no end in sight (’kai is just a stripper!’... ‘he has bad vibes’... ‘darkest guy jongin!’). for his skin, and how he decides to show it, too. jesus christ his skin looks fantastic, end of debate. they just can’t handle him, kai couldn’t be any more immaculate.

♡

jongin has vigorously protected fans from discrimination, bullies, and shaming himself whenever it came up. in a very straightforward and deadpan manner because he knows exactly how it damages you. (”J” in the subtitles = jongin, he’s wearing the plain white top at the very back)

we need to protect and praise him that way right back. it’s important.

so, needless to say. all in for jongin getting the center stage he deserves. because he has the wow factor in every regard. kai usually opens an MV because there’s no better way to get people’s attention with that level of presence. with kai, you can’t go wrong. if you get the center in a an all star group like superm, you are the king.

being part of that presence, kai’s stage alter ego has reached levels of infamity you can’t even imagine. it’s great to see him being sovereign without apology.

and it doesn’t stop there. he shows time and again that acting, props, and commanding the audience has to be mastered to be an exceptional dancer. kai owns his sex appeal. sometimes, he even dances a portion of choreo with his eyes closed because he’s feeling it so much.

he is a pro in using his surroundings as well, superm’s stages are a glorious opportunity for kai to show how he comfortably ‘lives in’ the 3D space around him.

which makes the viewer do the same: watching kai makes you feel amazing, energized, but also serene and enjoying the moment. 

there’s always balance. it’s the magic of it. e.g. he comes along with so much impetus and decisiveness but eventually, he halts to offer himself. here i am — take me. i’m yours. closed arms, open arms. walking, kneeling. looking down, looking up.

kai goes every extra mile there ever was and makes each eye contact count. involving the audience, one grin at a time. it works. it’s about establishing contact. he connects to the onlooker with so much nuance. 

kai’s smirk is notorious and you can see why it’s so raw and real: he makes it linger. it’s such a duality since his dancing says i’ll come over, while his message is come and get me, i know what’s on your mind.

with a hilarious twist – kai expertly uses humor. you don’t get that in many dancer repertoires. i love it. all those quick expression changes. his smile! 😊 what a man.

so — what makes him so good and known: yes, his style doesn’t deny that dancing and eroticism are one in his business. that takes courage. kai has it. iconic performances have been his reward. point dance/killing part: exo’s love shot choreo. 

that suit has swept the nation. what’s more: kai shows you it’s more than just good hip movement that a good dancer needs. he does everything at once, he puts the pleasure on his face, all his limbs are following the template he chooses.

the thing is. kai couldn’t be any shyer, but when the music starts he becomes a oscar-winning madman. he emotes constantly (!) and stays in character. this is gold.

jongin always plays it up. he knows how to use that face and does a lot of power posing. this is how visceral looks like. he’s interpreted exo’s aggressive concepts to a T.

and he has so. much. fun. it propels him. on every beat.

past every hurt, heartbreak and injury, man. if you know about his genre you knew this was coming, kai does all of that with 4 herniated discs. since debut days, never recovered. every gif in this thread, he dances with a battered spine. wheelchairs, stage collapses, relapse-recovery-schedule tales, the dilemma of injuries being inevitable, limping, kai falling into depression during breaks, constant pain killers, countless tears on stage, we’ve seen it all, the extreme end of it. 

kai works out like hell to literally keep his body from falling apart. but it doesn’t help the nerves in his back that are impacted. doing choreo you can sometimes literally see the pain kicking in and he pulls himself through with force for the last minute. once you know how strained his back is, you can see it.

at the end his expression goes fuck now it’s coming when the adrenaline fades. he takes every second-pause he gets to rest but still finishes each move. even when he holds back, he keeps it together and executes each turn. sometimes, he has to restrict himself and soften his movements to protect his health (especially in hard choreographies such as lucky one which is universally disliked by exo — still jongin makes the very best of it smiling bright and dancing so hard his sleeves come off).

he frequently states he ‘dances in any case unless his legs are affected by something’. all torso injuries are fair game, this guy is hardcore. and people claim he’s just pretending. chen (a fellow exo member) says not a single part of jongin’s body is intact. he has paid every price to get this far to follow his love. he’ll step on stage with crutches. he works SO HARD.

that being said: exo being called the official nation’s group, i say kai is the nation’s dancer. period. he has had his great moment at the korean olympics flawlessly dancing in a hanbok with traditional instruments and fulfilling his dream. 

i love the tension and drama he can bring. he can also thrill with slow, vulnerable movements alike.

kai’s is called a legend, he’s all that and even more. the facial expressions alone are feared by any kai stan because they hit home. 

this guy is a sex icon and goes off like a gun, messing around was never kai’s incentive. 

while at the same time being incredibly nuanced and so, so descriptive with his movements.

point dance: baby don’t cry. yep, kai has danced in water. must-watch.

this man loves what he is doing. he said he wouldn’t regret to die on stage because dancing is his destiny. boy, it shows. this guy has found his purpose. he can tell any story he wants. he’s a complete artist.

he’s perfectly portraying his incentive and he couldn’t look any more like a god on earth.

long story short, kai is dance and motivation goals. if you dance professionally, you can easily look toward him for the right words.

if you want to further your study and knowledge: he released a self-titled solo album recently. highly recommended. he worked forever on it, and he’s really dishing it on there. you get to hear his soft voice plus sizzling footwork. and he isn’t even getting started yet. you’ll hear from kai, i promise. he constantly achieves new levels of artistic perfection.

a last remark. jongin is amazing for a myriad of reasons that go beyond what i show you here given the post focuses on his work on stage. but the point stands, while other people have tried to break him, he broke through every barricade instead and stood up for himself. we can be extremely happy to have him and witnessing his unreal dance is an exceptional pleasure. here’s to jongin continuing his passion and confidence, healing, and getting the sweeping respect and acknowledgement that is his.

HC || Fandoms they were in

This is pretty much just a crack drabble since I am currently attempting to catch up to all of the requests! Thank you for being Patient with me!

Dabi

This gremlin knows what Homestuck is and can’t stand the fact that he understands the references Toga makes to it. Also possibly one of the few who has actually read homestuck on this list, and won’t hesitate to correct Toga or Shigaraki if they fuck up a fact.

He also really is into The Walking Dead. You can’t tell me that Kurogiri doesn’t have a TV set up somewhere in the bar so he and Shigaraki can sit and watch. This does end up with the majority of the league having a once a week get together where Jin gets Pizza, Toga gets several boxes of soda for them, and Shigaraki sets up everything. 

Denki Kaminari

This bitch was into homestuck. Like he wasn’t just into homestuck, he was INTO homestuck. Most likely one of those kids that used to jump on Omegle in a shitty cosplay for those homestuck Omegle cosplay meets the fandom used to do. He also totally has a genderbent Nepeta cosplay, a Dave strider cosplay, and a Jake cosplay SOMEWHERE. Most likely to accidentally wear a homestuck shirt to class.

Never once picked up a Harry Potter book or watched the movie, but you know this kid has a hufflepuff robe in his closet and some hufflepuff merch. He doesn’t know shit about the actual canon since he is just there to vibe

Really into Kpop. BTS, Blackpink, ITZY, EXO, Ikon, BlockB, BigBang minus Seungri cause he is icky, SuperJunior, NCT, WINNER, Got7, Red Velvet, (F)x, and more. Like you can’t tell me this guy doesn’t listen to girl groups and shit like BTS. (His bias has to be J-hope) He also bops with Mina the most. These two also most likely post dance covers of the songs to instagram and TikTok, so they have quite the following. (But their best video was their “Boy In love” cover they did with Kirishima, Deku, Shoto,Jirou, Momo, and Bakugo.)

This kid was also into Five nights at Freddy. He owns all of the games and will still play them with the Bakusquad, but he is pretty quiet about this fandom just because of how BULLIED he was for enjoying it. 

LOVES Danganronpa too. Bakusquad do a weekly game night and they all went through all of the games. Let’s just say Denki cried a LOT at the deaths. Like a lot. (He may have a few cosplays of his own too)

Eijiro Kirishima

Kirishima liked Supernatural just because of how manly Sam and Dean are. Like fuck yeah, he wants a chevy impala too cause it is a beautiful car and wants to know how to protect yourself from shit like demons and angels. He never did much besides watch the show, cry a lot, and try to draw the characters. (Also he had a crush on Dean just cause of how badass and manly he is, but nobody can blame him)

He totally sat and watched Denki play Undertale, so he knows all about it. His favorite character is Undyne and he actually cried when they beat her in Genocide mode cause holy shit dude. That sucked. Oh and Sans. Fuck Sans.

He enjoys Kpop and will listen to it with the Bakusquad. He really admires BTS for how much of an impact they have made not only on his friends, but also the world itself and you can’t tell me that this guy doesn’t think the world of Kim Namjoon. Like he listens to Mono on repeat and is such a big RM fanboy. Also really likes Bigbang (He thinks Daesungs voice is so nice and will sleep to his singing if he could), and Kyungsoo is his favorite in Exo. Cried when Bigbang started coming back from the Military, and cried harder when Kyungsoo had to leave.

Danganronpa is a game he really enjoyed with his friends and will even replay from time to time. He gravitates towards the really manly characters, but some others have spots in his heart. Mondo, Sakura, Gundham, Nekomaru, Kaito, and Gonta were his favorites. Let’s just say the game didn’t treat him well.

Fumikage Tokoyami

He ended up picking up the Harry Potter books and fell in love with the world itself. You can’t tell me this guy doesn't have a limited edition trunk set of the books hidden in plain sight. Like everyone thinks that the trunk holds something like crystals or some bones or knives but nah. It’s just his Harry potter books. Oh and Midnight totally gave him a Ravenclaw scarf around the holidays. You can’t tell me otherwise.

Death note? Death note. Only to episode 25 though. 25 happened and he just hasn’t continued watching cause it isn’t the fucking same.

Hitoshi Shinsou

Shinsou liked Supernatural for a while, but he eventually lost interest. He did his best to also never get involved with much of the fandom since it honestly scared him a bit, but his fear didn’t stop him from posting some theories into discussion boards.

He listens to Kpop a bit since he hangs out with Denki a lot and found out he really enjoys Ikon, BlockB, BTS, 

Bitch was in the Creepypasta Fandom. Like not even the good ones, he was into Jeff the killer and Eyeless jack and all of those ones. Sure, he would listen to the others and read the crappy ones, but he had a phase he is mildly ashamed of now.

This kid loves everything relating to Stephen King. He will have conversations with Aizawa and Hizashi about the books, and they all agree that Kings writing can rather be extremely amazing, or be the equivalent of a 13 year old attempting to write smut for the first time. It’s so damn funny to him

Hizashi Yamada

He has read all of the harry potter books and actually enjoys them quite a bit, but he tries not to let that show too much. He does have a Slytherin lanyard that holds his keys though that Denki had mentioned. It managed to get Mic off track for the class period when he started discussing the books with the students (Mainly Izuku, Tokoyami, and Denki)

He watches The walking dead with Aizawa 

Actually bops to Kpop after the Bakusquad introduces it to him. Massive RM fanboy so he and Kirishima will occasionally go off about how admirable and badass he is. Like RM taught himself english just from watching Friends??? And Hizashi admires that so much. He also loves diving deeper into their lyrics since they normally have such good meanings.

Izuku Midoriya

Oh he loves Harry potter so damn much. He has the books on his shelf, a Gryffindor robe in his closet, a full uniform, and several wands. He is such a nerd so you can’t tell me he doesn’t have a special notebook that has notes on the spells, character analysis, and a variety of different facts.

Really enjoys listening to BTS! He doesn’t know much about other kpop groups, but he really enjoys dancing with Mina and Denki (even if Izuku has 2 left feet and struggles with dancing)

Had a Dragonball phase. Like this kid loVEs Dragonball. It’s actually one of the reasons why he and Katsuki grew to be friends since they both watched the show. They would talk about how they would beat Frieza or the Ginyu squad all of the time.

Katsuki Bakugo

This bastard finds himself actually enjoying Kpop after Mina and Denki go off about their favorite bands, and he really finds himself enjoying BTS, Day6, and SHINee. 

Danganronpa was a game he experienced with his friends and FUCK was it an adventure for him. He got really invested with the story and for a while, the Bakusquad chat was active as hell because of all of the theories he had. He fucking HATED Byakuya, actually shed some tears for Fuyuhikos’ character development and Gundhams death, and was about to throw hands during the 4th chapter of V3. It was a Rollercoaster of emotions, but he loved every moment of it.

This kid had a Dragonball Z phase. No shit he would wake up, watch an episode of Goku screaming, and then go out to play. Honestly this routine started when he was 5 and he will still occasionally watch it. He still loves Dragonball, and he totally has a collection of dragonballs somewhere.

After Shoto and Momo watch Rupauls Drag race in the Common room, He gets hooked. His dad is a fashion designer, so he finds himself really enjoying the fashion aspect of the show as well as the makeup part of it all. He actually does Minas’ makeup occasionally and once people start finding out, he becomes their makeup artist. The girls makeup, and occasionally he will do drag makeup on the guys if they ask. Sometimes the Drag viewing parties start by Bakugo doing everyones makeup and then ordering Pizza.

Mina Ashido

Mina fucking loves to dance and everybody knows that, so it’s no surprise that she manages to nail every damn Kpop she does. She really loves the variety of dances and she can match every vibe. A dance in heels? Shes got it. Hip hop? Oh hell yeah. Cute? Sure! Badass? Shes got this. She is really just a bop.

Danganronpa was an EXPERIENCE for her. She absolutely adored the cases that needed to be solved, cried at the characters, and adored the game. She totally cosplayed Tsumugi with Cospox once or twice with Denki just for giggles sake.

Totally was heads over heels for Ouran Highschool Host club. She thought the anime was so damn precious (She adores Hikaru) and was so sad that there hasn’t been a 2nd season, so she bought all of the manga.

Momo Yaoyorozu

She is a Kpop fan! She totally could be an idol since she can sing pretty well, has the face for it, can dance pretty well! Her favorite thing is rapping though. You can’t say that Momo wouldn’t be able to write some bad bitch raps and pull them off with ease. With her, Mina, Jirou, and Ochaco, they make one HELL of a Girl Group. They love to do covers of Blackpink, Red Velvet, CherryBullet, ITZY, and Mamamoo covers. Her biases have to be Jennie, Irene and Moonbyul.

Tamaki Amajiki

Flipped through homestuck when it started, really never got into it but admired the work people put into their cosplays. Knows basic character names and that buckets should be feared.

He actually used to really like My little Pony! He would NEVER call himself a brony, but he really enjoyed the show. He only watched a couple of seasons, but the show itself was pretty relaxing and managed to calm him down when he was feeling anxious. If anybody ever knew he had a my little pony phase though (And still actually will watch it from time to time) he might just die from embarrassment.

Want to play Legend of Zelda? Well Tamaki is your guy to talk to about it. He might start rambling and will completely forget about his anxiety for a moment before realizing how nerdy he sounds. He has a gamecube in his dorm to play Twilight princess and Ocarina of time, He has a Wii for Skyward sword, and god did this kid lock himself in his room when breath of the wild came out. He can speedrun it like none other (Seriously, if he let’s you watch him, you will be fucking surprised by how amazing he is.)

Gotta throw in Teen Titans. Seeing Beast boy use his power in so many badass ways gave him some pretty cool ideas for his own quirk.

Oh and Rupauls Drag race. Nobody would expect him to be a fan of drag race, but he actually does enjoy watching the goofy drama. If you’re dating, you better expect weekly Drag race with him. It’s pretty funny to watch him enjoy the show. Sometimes he gasps, laughs or bites his lip, eyes hooked to the screen.

Shoto Todoroki

Another motherfucker who could EASILY be an Idol if he wanted to be. He actually really enjoys Kpop after Momo introduced it to him. They both often bop to it together when they study or hang out. He is also most likely to be the one recording the dancing videos or editing them too since he really enjoys helping out the girls. 

Want to watch him nerd out? Watch the classic Godzilla movies with him. Like HOLY SHIT does this man love the 50s-70s Godzilla movies. Bring him a box set and he will rather hug you really tight or run to grab blankets from his room cause this dude ADORES these movies. (Especially the mothra one. Like he will cling to you, thank you over and over again, and watch them with almost childlike glee.)

This bitch bops with Rupauls Drag race. He really enjoys makeup and has debated on trying drag himself (Not that anybody would know that) but it’s kind of shocking to see that he is the one that started the Weekly Rupauls Drag Race viewing in the UA Dorms. 

Yugi Aoyama

His mother used to read Harry Potter to him to help him sleep when he was a child so he naturally knows a lot about it. He knows he is a Slytherin and when Izuku thought about it, it made sense. He is pretty arrogant and wants to impress with his upbringing and french lineage. He also makes it pretty hard to get to know him personally, so Izuku makes a note that he is a Slytherin.

Likes Kpop, but isn’t SUPER into it like Denki or Mina. He likes listening to BTS and Exo and his Biases are Seokjin and Chanyeol.

[what-if-nct]

hihihi today's reminder is super early because I just watched the beautiful mv and holy shit. I know I've had kind of a shit week but I really didn't think it'd bring me that close to actual tears wtf. it's just so pretty?? and nice??? and I really wanted to hear all that stuff said to me, I guess even in a song meant for thousands of people and not just me.

but apart from that: Yangyang main vocalist look at our boy killing it. why is Jungwoo literally pushing Haechan into Xiaojun in that one group picture scene? fair line distribution!! who knew SM had it in them? and it's funny how each one of my biases had an end-of-chorus straight-into-camera "you're beautiful" moment because fuck that really hit home - tbh I think every one of those moments was from my bias line lol maybe I just have a thing for vocalists. also why is Mark in a dark parking lot on a bright red motorbike when everyone else is being all cute in pastels lol it threw me off so much. and the whistle (?) interlude in the middle oofffffff the true actual peace I felt in that moment. everyone looks so fucking good and i really really really wanna see this song in concert more than anything, I feel like it'd just fix something inside me to sing along with a crowd on this one.

Okay at Johnny's first line i did almost walk away. And usually I don't really like songs like this but oh my gosh I love. And something about Xiaojun's voice specially that almost made me cry. And Hendery's part made me hold my hand to my chest. And the whistle part was so pretty and calming. And with 23 members I'm so surpised they were able to give everyone such equal screentime and lyrics. Except Johnny he kinda disappeared after the beginning but I'll ignore it for now. There's like 100 of them I understand. And Yangyang's voice is so pretty and he looked like a little angel with blonde hair. Yeah Mark's part felt super out of place. It was just so sweet and lovely. I was expecting Christmassy like Exo use to do. But it was wintery and pretty and not just straight up elves. Which i would also love.

Ult Group Tag

Tagged by @yeoldontknow @j-pping @jenmyeons @arosequartz​ LOVE YOU BAES 💕 �� 💕

1. First bias: KIM MINSEOKKKKKK (I had found Tumblr for Kpop through BTS and while I love them all they’re younger than I am lmaooooo. So the next groups I got into (VIXX and EXO) I biased the oldest member because I was so stoked we were around the same age 😂)

2. Current bias: KIM JUNMYEONNNNNN 🐰 🥰

3. First MV watched: uhmmmmmm it might have been Lightsaber?? I got into Kpop in the fall of 2016 and went balls deep into each new group over the course of a few hazy, dissociative weeks haha. So it was either Lightsaber, Monster, or Lotto. Those all stand out to me as HOLY SHIT!!! music videos from when I dove into EXO. 

4. Favorite MV: fffffffffff overall it’s Obsession (but like, they’re all amazing SO it’s a close race). For Junmyeon it’s Electric Kiss, because I started to ult his ass RIGHT when that came out. Like @yeoldontknow were having the conversation about it the day that the MV was released and my soul left my entire body. 

5. If you could only listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be: ahsd;nfioajsdflkajsdflkj Gravity or Jekyll or Thunder but FFFFFFF asl;difjasolkdf 

6. Who would you want to see them collab with? As a whole group I don’t have anyone I thought of. I loved their collab for Dancing King but tbh I feel like with 9 members they’re already tight for making sure everyone gets a decent cut of lines so I like them just as themselves 😂  but for individual members there’s SO many I’d love to see. 

Like Chanyeol x Billie Eilish or Radiohead (or anyone that lets RockerYeol be unleashed). For Jongin or Sehun I just would die for either/both of them to collab with Taemin and some female singers/rappers. Taemin x Sunmi at that one awards show slayed my soul and I am asking humbly for more. And I have many for Jun as a soloist but good lord I’ve already gone on for far too long lmfaoooooo. 

7. What (mv) concept do you want to see them do? fucking ROYALTY, please. It’s about goddamn time. I also really love their darker concepts (obsession slapped me directly in the face so if we ever got a MV for Jekyll I would just spontaneously combust), so if they swung back into more horror/sci fi or gothic even, like some of the places VIXX MVs go to, that would be fucking amazing. They do everything so well I am SO fed. 

8. Have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it? ............yes 😂

9. If you could spend a day with one member, who would it be and what would you do? obvs it would be one (1) Kim Junmyeon. I’d love to go to a library or an art museum or a cafe, somewhere to talk and hang out. 

10. Which member do you think you would get along with best? I think Jun and I have pretty similar personalities and senses of humor. Or Minseok since I also tend to step back a bit in groups but still laugh and joke around and ask questions, so I think we’d vibe well. 

11. Which member do you think you would argue with? Oh Jesus uhh I’m not really an argumentative person?? I think I’d playfully argue with Baekhyun the most, but only because that’s his style/sense of humor lmaooooo

12. If you had to let one member scroll through your tumblr, who would it be? UHHHHHHHH jesus christo. Honestly I’d say Kyungsoo? I think I’ve either posted thirsty photo comments about the rest of them OR I would NEVER trust them to not share (looking at you, Baekhyun and Sehun). I think Kyungsoo would be entertained but he is such a private man he’d understand and not reveal my entire ass lmfaooooo.

[gilbent]

Okay, so I’m listening to the playlist @sixweekoldhedgehog made me. I’ll reblog with a link to the playlist!

 My verdict:

Track 1. I enjoyed the aesthetic. Very much in line with my lack of taste in music, but the video weirded me out with how much that lady was staring at the camera. Stop looking at me, Madam.

Track 2. This is Initial D music. K-Eurobeat? J-Eurobeat exists so I don’t see why Korea can’t have their own trashy Europop scene. VERY cute lady.

Track 3. Korean Bruno Mars: IT’S LADIEZ NIGHT, SHORTY. FRESH LIKE A B-BOY. I’M A PRETTY BOY YEAH I’M A MACHO MAN. 10/10, made me laugh with second hand embarrassment. Shout out to Korean James Bond who looks like one of the young people at work.

Track 4. Oh this is EXO! So these are the fuckers who made all the Pepero boxes in Dublin sell out on my birthday because their stupid faces were on them. I hate them on sight. Cute little song with all the elements of a fun, campy pop song that I’d like if these weren’t Pepero thieves. 

...They have American football in Korea? Why? 

Track 5. I feel like I recognise the man singing at the beginning of this song, but I don’t know from where. Apparently this was filmed in Sweden! That’s cool. Very 90′s, almost. Bored me a bit, admittedly.

Track 6. Very cute girls.Liked that they had a Grover with them. The romantic tension between the girl drawing the heart on the rollerskate and the girl who owned the skate...

Track 7. A concerning number of this boy band look like they’re into Esports. Blondie’s got those 2018-19 pre-swole Jjonak vibes.

Track 8. I only know of NCT from the recent discourse so this is interesting. Which one of these fuckers is Marxk? Also this song is outright a Eurovision entry. I can imagine Britain sending something like this for 2021.

Track 9. Eyeshadow looks! I like the robot. A nice song, just not to my taste. I like the chorus.

Track 10. Starts like a belter and continues like one. Also there hasn’t been even one non-gorgeous woman in any of these videos. Only critique is that it could be longer. 

Track 11. This man called me a bitch, spat on a child and bought a local school to turn it into luxury apartments. He looks amazing. Song’s a little boring though.

Track 12. This is what the Top 40 sounds like in Ireland and HOLY SHIT A GOAT.

Track 13. I’m a fan of red velvet in cake form so these girls were off to a good start, but this track just sounds like a particularly boring Little Mix or Fifth Harmony song. Sadly generic.

Track 14. Belter. Particularly interesting voice on the girl in the red suit. Deserving of good feedback. Apparently something very sad happened to these girls judging by the comments? My favourite ladies of the night.

Track 15. Makings of a belter. Would be more impressed if they didn’t come after the ladies who came previously. Generic vocals but a good baseline which is very important. Wish I had the big comfy white jumper that one guy was wearing while he was falling around the 2000s pop video white corridor. Apparently these guys keep having shit ideas or something.

Track 16. This looks like a Paco Rabanne ad. Was uncomfortable with his stripping and Captain America hair, but fair play to him for being so proud of his body. HOLD ON HE’S IN A FUCKING SYNTHWAVE ASS CAR WITH ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING BY. Cut the rest of the video and have him drive the cool car more! 

Track 17. I swear to God this has played in an H&M while I was browsing through the rails. The DHL shirt was an absolute powermove I wasn’t expecting. I’m guessing they sponsored the video or maybe that girl’s dad works there.

Track 18. The world’s cutest cowgirl bankrobbers. A very classic girl group kind of song that makes me think of Gal fashion with all the booty shorts and circle lenses. I feel bad for the girl in the back who the camera never seems to pick up on. Girl group unions NOW.

Track 19. Ironically, a group called SEVENTEEN are track 19. I like when that one guy went ‘rrrrr’. The idea of racing a bunch of Korean idols is something I think could actually work as a TV show. All band fan rivalries would finally get resolved by making them compete in athletics. Also: Jesus there’s a lot of lads in this group. Are there literally 17 of them? Why’d they launch a car with their friend in it?! STOP DANCING YOU COULD HAVE DIED.

Track 20. The final track. Somewhat chill beats to relax and study to. These lads rapping about having a hard knock life when they look like they went to private school, but I don’t know enough about them to dispute that. Hope they make their mothers proud as the song suggests they want to do.

All in all there were a few songs I really liked here! Tracks 1, 10 and 14 are the big winners of the evening. Everyone seemed very good at dancing in particular. Thank you so much for making this for me, Hedgehog!

Favorite Fics 2019

hi hello it’s me your local mess. ok so this hit me on my way to work the other day and since it’s friday i feel like today is a good day to hopefully make someone’s day/night/weekend a little brighter? 

i love reading fanfics. periodt. there are lots of incredible writers out there on this site and other platforms who take time to write beautiful fics about the real people and characters and their emotional support kpop ladies and gentlemen to show their love and appreciation so i want to dedicate this to my favorite fics of this year. these fanfics are of varying lengths and genres but they all have two things in common 1) they were posted this year 2) i love them.

(most of these are exo but i have some other groups sprinkled in there too)

other favorite fics of mine can be found under my fic recs tag!

A Decade of Midnights by @chogi-wae 

queen of noir! grumpy chenneth! sexy detectives! murder mystery! do i even have to say anything else? oh yes! we also get coroner!baekhyun 

ps: jae has a sequel started for this with two parts already having me at the edge of my seat. i love all of jae’s writing but this one takes the cake

Enough by @yeoldontknow

anything kat touches turns golden and holy mother of everything that is self-love and reflection. this is a fic for all us sexy ladies with a body that doesn’t conform to what society has decided is “beautiful”. i can’t call myself plus size in any way but i do not have a flat tummy or legs for days or perky titties. quite the opposite; i’m a short lady with love handles, saggy tits and stomach rolls (yes we’re going tmi here but it’s important ok). park chanyeol is the opposite of that and he’s the best fucking man ever in this fic. he’s a muscle man but he’s a man with the biggest heart and he says “you have a cute butt” which is enough reason for you to read this. when i feel bad about myself, i think about enough and i become a little happier

Empty Vessels 

another yeoldontknow masterpiece! i stand by the statement that this is the best fic i have ever read. probably read this five times already and i think about it almost daily. junmyeon is a witch from salem and that’s only one of the many reasons for you to check this out and hopefully fall in love with it as much as i have. it’ll rip your heart out and stomp on it. dub me professional empty vessels promoter already kat!! 

Dichotomy by @kyungseokie

dia hurts you in the best possible way with this fic. bawl my eyes out every damn time i read this because fucking hell this is emotional investment and hearts broken and everything hurts and this is not your average love triangle where one guy is obviously worse than the other. NO! this can go either way and you just want everyone to be happy and baekhyun needs a hug!

Teacher’s Pet by @suhoerections

teacher junmyeon getting called daddy “threatening” to bend you over his desk and fuck you hard is a lot for a suhoe stan such as myself to think about but i’m not mad, just jorny.

Clouded by @mayrubyy

uhm yes do you want to cry some more? this is an emotional rollercoaster, you have been warned! this fic has great potential and it’s maya’s child and when the next part is posted you know shit will go down and ashjgff i have no words only love for both the author aka my baby and the fic itself🥺💖

Familiar Stranger by @myforeverforlife

love love love love LOVE familiar stranger! a beautiful story about reader losing all memories of the last five years due to an accident which includes her entire life with fiancé kim jongdae. dae is an angel, we all know that, but he’s somehow even more angelic as the most patient person ever in familiar stranger. this hits right in the feels (can you tell i love to read angst ahjdsf) and it’s not your usual wham bam thank you ma’am all-memories-recovered-in-five-seconds kind of situation either and i’m praying for another update of this because this is not just one of the best fics of this year but one of my favorites period.

Sunny Side Up by @dreaminghaos

i love everything fee writes with a burning passion y’all

this fic is everything everything everything!!! i can’t get enough of this fic and i probably never will get enough of it either because i love this pairing and i’m in love with struggling writer!jeonghan 

Magnetic by @softyexo 

did anyone say ceo!myeon? this is a recent love of mine. i read it just the other day and have been thinking about it non-stop since. absolutely in love with oc’s and junmyeon’s dynamic in this one and it feeds all my lovesickness for this man made of pure husband material. thanks for coming to this ted talk.

Hold on to silence by @dropsofletters

amazing! show stopping! incredibly unique! absolutely astonishing! idiots in love! omg i LOVE this one! yixing as chanhun’s manager is everything i didn’t know i needed and holy crap this is such a lovely story please read it and experience the feels™

Neon Moon by @kyungseokie

they were roleplaying! ROLEPLAYING!

Trauma by @baekwell--tart

dad and secret mafia man!byun falls in love with his babysitter after being an absolute asshole to her and oh my god i am so invested in this masterpiece. whenever bella updates trauma i yell. i’ve re-read this many times already and i continue to find new reasons why i love this story with my whole entire being

Mr. Byun

bella once again proving that she writes the most amazing bbh fics. angst and smut combined i swear i was a whole lot worked up with all the spice in this one and then i cried like a baby when it ended. have i told you that i’m a very emotionally stable person?🤡

Bedazzling Heart of Gold by @baekonsforbreakfast

i love this song! baekhyun gets dumped and falls in love with oc who runs one of the biggest hostess bars in all of sk and holy crap you just love everyone in this fic. even that one character who you feel like you should hate but kind of still empathize with on a deeply emotional level. no? just me? ok then. i love you belle and i hope you know how much i enjoy your writing💗

Mr. Muscles by @chogi-wae

short and sweet drabble about oc biting jun’s bicep. no but for real i’ve read this one countless times and i just love a domestic jun so go ahead and read duality and dyson as well because nobody writes cute domestic fluff like jae ilysm

Money Makes Her Smile by @ninibears-erigom

mrs gom has written one of the dirtiest but also loveliest smut series of 2019. jongdae’s part was posted yesterday and holy fuck i have never read better jongdae smut ever i think

Business Before Pleasure by @pcychedelic

actor minseok! i repeat: actor minseok!

they get down and dirty in like the second chapter and i’m in love. not because of the obvious spiciness but because the amazing portrayal of minseok in this fic. love a strong female character? then you will love oc too!

High Voltage by @skyesins

SIN! THIS IS SIN! I LOVED EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS FIC AND PART TWO IS EVEN BETTER!

there’s also the original ofc version on asian fanfics for those who aren’t into reader inserts and it’s just as good! 

Literally every single aesthetic that @kpop-daze has written but some favorites include exo as broken love / exo as ephemeral tenderness /  exo as fleeting heartbreak 

Unfitting by @heechulhamster

SOLDIER MINSEOK SOLDIER MINSEOK SOLDIER MINSEOK that is all

no wait... this has real descendants of the sun vibes and i love it so much can i have a soldier!xiu por favor

Fire and Frost by @writing-exo-things

queen of drabbles! i love every single one of them but this one is next level™ i cried like a baby this is truly amazing!!!

Take Care by @omyeol 

 g o d i felt this fic on a deeply spiritual and emotional level 

False Hope by @pastel-kpop

i hate you and i love you for writing this it still hurts reading this like YES MAKE ME HURT AYESHA THEY ARE IDIOTS 

Mocha by @stainandscribble  

the whole café series is lovely but mocha and espresso really stuck out to me i’m so soft for the whole aesthetic of these! 

ever imagined that jackson wang is your date to your brother’s wedding? well @softseunies did and it turned out fucking amazing! what i love the most is that it’s very open for interpretation and of course jackson is always a mood when will he be my date and mayhaps potential bf at the wedding of the brother i don’t have?

little forest by @myforeverforlife

I LOVE THIS! DO YOU HEAR ME?! L O V E THIS!

not his to love by @boogerines

can you hear me sobbing? this hurts so much let me go back to crying over this again after i re-read this for the nth time

this blurb right here is adorable @sprinklesofktrash did that!

wild valley by @fairyyeols

wild valley is that bitch™ and that’s all i have to say i live and breathe for this installation of exo customs my favorite, in fact

blossoms in the wind by @marshmallow-phd

don’t @ me but this goblin!au with junmyeon as the goblin and baekhyun as the grim reaper is more intriguing than the drama and that’s saying a lot but i cry with every new chapter ohmygoddddd

wrong number by @yeoldotcom

i’m a hoe for fake texts and zee makes the best ones🥺🥺🥺🥺

also love love love bf!jun in food buddies

break up with me by @exoangst

don’t mind me i’m just crying in a corner as i read this for the millionth time and cry over how well written oc is and how fucking amazing that breakup scene is like has anyone done it like that before? maybe, idk but this is the only one that counts 

[jamaisjoons]

Ok I don’t mean to be a glutton like I AM happy with top social artists for four years in a row but also,,,,,,, I can’t help but feel like we were snubbed with the top duo/group award like,,,, bitch,,, the fuck? The Jonas brothers???? Really? Like are you REALLY telling me that the Jonas brothers are more relevant than BTS right now???? REALLY???? Like you already gave us the award last year, what changed in the span of one year??? See, this is what happens when they’re nominated in a white country for a non voting category. I fuckin hate this. But also, I’m proud of them for winning top social this year too. Exo and got7 are dangerous competition, especially when their fandoms gang up on you. Also, off topic kinda but like, en vogue’s performance was so good!!! Their song doesn’t fuckin age, like everything they said is so relevant,,,, “I wear tight clothing, high shoes, it doesn’t mean that I’m a prostitute” “be colorblind, don’t be so shallow” like holy fuck I forgot how much I love that song. Also my mom blanched at seeing Kanye west in the Christian music category and I cackled so bad she was like “what the FUCK is he doing in this category?”

JSMDOEKDWO honestly we were ROBBED like truly ROBBED I can’t believe BTS didn’t win best group shut up this is insane sienrwodnskekt but honestly!! there will come a day when bts don’t win top social, and as nice as the award is I tend to care more about the non-voted ones because those are the ones actually based on their achievements if that makes sense!! but even then!! I’m proud we got the best social for the fourth years!! who’s doing it like us 💅🏼 also I’d these are performances/stages at the bbmas I haven’t watched it so idk what you’re talking about but doemdowkdoskd Kanye being in the Christian category lmfaoooo shut up that’s insane I’m crying

Author Interview : underthejoon

((If anyone wants to make a cool banner for this, please do. I suck at them))

Today is the debut of a new project. Whether it sticks around for long depends on you guys, but for now the plan is to interview one author a month. Creators are often underappreciated on here (or anywhere, for that matter), so this is me doing my part to connect our readers and writers in a meaningful way. Our first interview is with @underthejoon​, someone whose work I myself have enjoyed for many years now. If you enjoyed this interview, please be sure to send in authors you’d like me to talk to for future editions, as well as any specific questions you’d like answered (except for questions about updating, that will get you a ban). 

Where can your work be found?

I’m kind of a mess and so while I attempt to cross post, I’m not always great at it. All of my work can be found on my tumblr masterlist but some of my things are on Wattpad and AO3. I’m also underthejoon on both of those platforms.

Links to where readers can donate:

I made a ko-fi account ages ago that I never shared with the public because I’ve always felt guilty. Which is silly, idk why I do. But there it is!

Main bias (and why if you’d like) 

So!! I have always been a Namjoon bias. From the very first time I saw them/the very first song I heard I was like yes, you. You are the one, I’m a goner!! He’s so wonderful and unique. He’s very mindful and creative and such a beacon of light to me. Plus, he’s very open with his humanity, if that makes sense? Like he is open about his therapy, his feelings about his perceived shortcomings, his excitement about finding place and things and works of art that inspire him. ALSO THOUGH, in the last year or so I’ve also become a Hoseok bias. He is just so dedicated and loving. He’s insanely talented and vastly underrated, in my opinion. And through all the back breaking work, he is kind through and through. He’s seriously just so warm and makes me really happy.

Hogwarts House : 

Okay, the very first time I ever took it I was a slytherin. A few years later, I took it again and got hufflepuff. I like to think I’m a combination of the two but can see myself as more of a puff. 

Describe yourself in five words:

Creative, Extroverted, Empathetic, Intuitive, Inquisitive 

Current favorite BTS songs: 

SO MANY, but I’ll pick 7 for 7 members. Some of these are old as hell but still currently my favorite lol. Love Maze, Love is Not Over, Outro: Her, Dimple, Tomorrow, Like, 2!3!

What was the defining moment when you decided, “Yes! I am going to write the thing!”? 

For like fanfic in general? I feel like I had been reading a lot of it after “discovering” k-pop and then after a few months I was just like fuck it, I’m doing it!! I was always super into writing poetry and never thought I would be any good at anything like this but it sounded fun so here we are now. 

What do you most enjoy about writing BTS fanfiction specifically? 

I think it’s the community of writers. When I started my blog, I met a lot of really amazing supportive writers that I’ve managed to stay friends with and I think that makes a really big difference when you have people that can relate to you and what you’re doing.

Any tropes or au’s that you want to explore later? 

I would really like to try writing some sort of supernatural creature fics. I’ve had this werewolf love triangle universe planned out forever that I would like to eventually write. Maybe like a workplace romance? 

Which of your fics would you suggest for new readers? 

For a completed series i’d say Piece by Piece. My WIP series, Love is Not Over is another one. For a one-shot I’d say, For You. Maybe the sweetness/make it right drabbles too. 

Which of your fics is your favorite? 

Piece by Piece, no doubt. I really feel proud of it and I have a hard time admitting I like anything I write. 

What other fandoms do you wish you had the time to write for? 

I used to write for EXO, Got7 and sometimes Monsta X and I miss it sometimes but also, I feel pretty contented in just writing for BTS. There’s a lot of inspiration there and I always felt I was being pulled in too many directions by my readers when I wrote for multiple fandoms.

What are your writing goals for the upcoming year? 

I’d like to finish three series I have planned, get caught up on my collab fics and at least finish an outline for my original fiction piece I’ve been putting off!

Which writers do you read religiously? 

There’s so many amazing writers on tumblr and I try as hard as I can to keep up with my mutuals when they put stuff out but sometimes it’s hard! I’m gonna be really brief because otherwise my list could go on and on. Okay, first and foremost, Shanna (@kpopfanfictrash) - she’s my best friend and a fabulous, wonderful writer. I would just like to give her a special shout out because not only does she entertain me for hours with her writing, she is very supportive of mine. Other authors I adore as humans and content creators and keep up with most regularly are @floralseokjin and @lamourche !

What is the weirdest thing you’ve had to google in the name of writing?

LOL. Hmm… I’m really boring and feel like I don’t really google that much when writing except maybe like different sex positions when i need a visual or synonyms to certain words. I’ve found some good porn though? Because visuals do help me.

Reader/OC fics within this fandom are often still looked down on and we all have to work hard to make them good enough for readers to look past their reputation. How do you combat the cringe? 

TBH, I don’t think that responsibility lies on us as writers. If people don’t like certain types of writing, that’s on them and they can avoid it. Reader insert/oc fics are just as valid a genre as any. I’ve read some of the most beautiful, creative stories on this platform, some of which could be published if names were changed/reader was switched to a named OC. There’s something out there for everyone and it’s all subjective. While I might find certain things super cringey, others love it. To each their own as long as they aren’t shoving it in the faces of the people they’re writing about or being disrespectful, you know?

What is your personal guilty (or not-so-guilty) pleasure trope? 

MUTUAL PINING/FRIENDS TO LOVERS. I feel like it’s so basic but I fucking love that trope and I think so many people do it so beautifully it is my absolute favorite. 

What is something that you see often in other fanfics that drives you insane? 

I think the only thing that really bothers me is when people romanticize abuse or other toxic/triggering topics. 

Are any of the boys or ships more difficult for you to write than others? 

I think I have the hardest time writing for Jimin and Taehyung but only because I feel I am the most similar to them and for whatever reason that deters me from writing about them often.

We all think we are the most hilarious person there is (even if we won’t admit it), so what is one line or scenario of yours that you like to go back to and giggle over? 

Okay this was actually really difficult for me because I don’t write like any humor and don’t think I’m good at LOL. I think my only attempt at humorous writing was The New Guy in which the reader is high off her ass lying on the front lawn and thinking the world is ending then accusing Namjoon of being the Grim Reaper when he comes looking for her.

ONLY IF YOU WANT TO - A scenario as long or short as you want. Maybe 250 words or less. Godzilla is attacking the city and BTS is your rescue crew. How screwed are you? 

“D-danger, you say?” Seokjin stutters.

“G-giant lizard monster headed this way?” Hoseok chokes. 

The pair exchange glances then turn their focus towards you. Seokjin jerks his head towards the door and you nod in return. 

“I hear what you’re saying, gentlemen,” Hoseok says as he stands on shaky legs. He grabs your hand as if to instruct you to do the same. 

“And as much as we would LOVE to help you…” His grip is tighter now and you know what comes next. 

Before he can finish, Seokjin shoots up from his chair and makes a mad dash towards the door. “Now, now, run, holy shit, NOW!”

Hoseok joins his friend in his haste to evacuate, dragging your nearly petrified form behind him. “No way in hell are we getting anywhere near that thing!”

Seokjin and Hoseok babble horrified nonsense between them but you can’t really decipher much of it. Your heart is pounding in your ears as you replay the name “Godzilla” in your brain.

They wanted you to rescue the city? What were they thinking?

When you reach Seokjin’s car, you have a brief moment of clarity. There are lives at stake, after all. How can you really just abandon the city when it needs a hero?

“What about everybody else?” you ask, voice small and fearful.

“Everybody else?” Seokjin huffs, putting the car in gear. He hardly gives your question a thought before he peels out of the parking lot. “Jungkook can handle everybody else. I raised him on my back, you know? It’s the least he can do!”

thoughts on each nct unit

oh thats a good one... ok this got so fucking long IM SORRY

nct 127 - i love them a lot they're obv my main fandom and as individuals they're breathtaking just like all of nct but... the line distribution is always terribly unbalanced with mark and taeyong eating up the entire song every single title track. moreover i definitely have a problem with taeyong's voice ( though that's not only in nct 127 ) and it really sucks because in baby don't stop he had sung lines and his voice was perfectly fine - they're obsessed with making him a rapper and they shouldn't ? he's a great vocalist, sm should acknowledge that more often. i get wanting more rappers but like if you're gonna have a rapper idk make it one of the boys who barely get lines like sicheng or yuta lol, even jaehyun is more of a vocalist than a rapper so making him a rapper is weird... johnny's right there anyway he needs lines too and i think he is supposed to be a rapper so. i really wrote a lot just for taeyong i'm sorry skshsjsb just a bit annoyed his actual skills get overlooked by sm even though he's nct's poster boy with mark.

we need ot10 back together soon but honestly having sicheng in both nct 127 and wayv was... a terrible move. very different units, both very busy bc they're focused on different marketing when it comes to who they want to reach, sicheng will have to sacrifice more than one nct 127 or wayv comeback to be with the other group that's promoting at the time like we saw with superhuman, wakey wakey, while he was with wayv for regular and take off ( even tho he got no real lines in regular... clowns sm ). it's just a shame sm can't even stick to their actual units and give them proper managing. also nctzens need to realise taeil & doyoung aren't the only vocalists, jaehyun is amazing and in fact so is jungwoo ? nobody ever talks about his vocals but he is... great hello ? i'm gonna waste so much time on hyuck rn so hold on.

the way sm won't acknowledge hyuck's vocal prowesses also bothers me. he's been improving a LOT and if your focus is on hitting high notes this boy can hit crazy high notes just like taeil, sm just won't give him the lines bc they're milking taeil's voice and that's all they use him for ( which i hate... i love taeil so much when will sm treat his artists right lol !!! ). he's also a great dancer but i think people forgot he was great because of his hiatus and like ok but he's been back for months haha. one last thing... let the members collab w/ artists who aren't jason derulo please n thank yooou.

now... to stop criticising sm's management for now... nct 127 is a great subunit. the members have real chemistry and work off one another very well, the unit remains diverse and the songs are PHENOMENAL. i don't care what anyone says about cherry bomb or firetruck it's just that people have bad taste i won't hear it. the visuals are always amazing, except johnny's wig in wakey wakey but that's in the past... i like the differences we see from cb to cb and yet it remains true to nct 127. you know which subunit you're listening to even with the contrasts and that's Cool, yeehaw ! i think i can shut up abt 127 now lmao.

wayv - TRANSCENDENT. seven members, not too few nor too many, the line distribution isn't too bad for once ( except regular but that's just how regular is i GUESS, also ten is definitely being favoured ), the main dancers get to show their abilities ( though i'd have enjoyed more centre time for sicheng in take off bc... that was really ten's song in all aspects lmao ), i don't know about the other wayv rappers' singing abilities but chill rapper lucas was a good pick. i'll say yangyang and hendery aren't too bad either ! xiaojun's vocals make a man dreamy ( i am a man ), kun... should get more lines hehe of course he should i love his voice and he just doesn't get enough yet. like i said they really favoured ten with their actual debut, looking forward to see how they handle the line distribution in the future. the management must be a bit different given wayv isn't only sm from what i understood ? it's a bit too soon for me to properly have an opinion on wayv aside from what i said about sicheng earlier and well, the line distribution and centre time overall. ten is my wayv bias but like, the others should still get some attention, they're not idols just to look pretty in the background lol.

nct dream - as individuals i LOVE them of COURSE i do... but this subunit's concept is a bit clanky to me. the whole graduating thing leaves a bitter taste in my mouth especially considering mark just graduated which means the 00 liners will graduate this year... all four of them... and hyuck hasn't even made a cb with dream yet. they'll probably introduce new members in the upcoming months but watching it unfold makes me worry about an nct dream with just chenle and jisung, now i'd love a song with both of them but maybe not as nct dream lol. thankfully they also hope they'll be able to have nct u songs as og nct dream which is what i was definitely hopeful for so it might happen, not yet but maybe some day.

sm made nct dream but everyone including nct dream got SO attached to the og unit it just feels like it can't work, especially since it's been three years and no new members have been introduced yet. it's been og nct dream up until december 2018, there had been no changes, sm just... handled this bad once again ? lmao. idk how to explain it but that sums it up ? aside from that i have nothing to say about the line distribution and all, i think it's handled pretty well on dream's side... even though the only dream content we've gotten this year was dnyl akshdjh. i love it of course but like it's not an actual dream cb so it's a bit... yeah.

and now the one we can all agree on,

NCT U THE BITCH

this unit has SO MUCH potential. it could be used SO WELL if the management wasn't done by sm. we could get the best bg content sm could put out without shinee and ot9 exo but we are let down TIME and TIME again. i won't even develop on that because i know everyone thinks the same so i don't have to do the maths for you skhsjsdjdhdj, this just gets me so Mad i hate sm's management so much. it's like they think that bc they've got the best artists out of the big 3 and so they can just do whatever they want and it'll pass but i can't STAND THIS holy fuck bring back f(x) you fuckin uglies stop clowning rv let suju disband at LAST do SOMETHING RIGHT

tl;dr the boys good sm bad

Now that 2018 is coming to a close it’s time to look back at my Top 10 (11) albums of the year

Not that y’all care. But I’m doing it anyways because this was fun! 😂

10.Kim Sungkyu- 10 Stories

This whole album is just gorgeous in every aspect. Sungkyu has one of most beautiful voices in K-POP and this album really showcases that. He did such an amazing job on this

9. EXO-Countdown

EXO’s countdown which yes was their Japanese album is also to this day my favorite EXO album. It’s what got me into EXO and they just pop off in it! I know a lot of their songs on here were originally in Korean, but I don’t give a flying fok. Its all around such a bop!

8.  NCT 2018- Empathy

When SM labeled them as NCT 2018, they really meant it. NCT is not my ult group, nor are they in my top 3, but you cant deny that 2018 was their year. So many releases, so many good bops. I loved this album, especially because it was my first NCT album and what got me into them!

7. Seventeen-You Make My Day

It hurts my heart to put Seventeen so low on here (Because they are my ult group) but that doesn't make this album bad at all! It was the summer album we needed and that Seventeen gave to us! Its such a classic Seventeen album with light hearted, loving life songs and it just makes me smile every time I hear it.

6. iKON-Return

Ahhhhh iKON. Honestly, me and iKON have a weird relationship. Its weird in the fact that Im not a hard core fan. Honestly I would barley consider me a soft core stan. But this album.....this album....WOOOW. Just Wow. They did an amazing job on this album that has hard going bops like Sinosijak to sad ballads like Dont Forget and to light hearted bops like Love Sceanrio. Amazing Amazing Job, honestly should win Album of the year in my mind.

5.  ATEEZ-Treasure EP.1: All To Zero

(These explanations are slowly getting longer the farther down I get)

Out of all the groups I got into in 2018, ATEEZ is one of my favorites. I say one because 2018 I got into a lot of groups like Pentagon, NCT,  and Infinite. But after those 3 its ATEEZ haha. The newest addition to my list of groups! This album blew me away! Like holy shit. I was so impressed by all of it. The song writing, the producing, the rapping, the vocals, the rude ass bitches. ATEEZ after Stray Kids is my new favorite Rookie group and they are going places man. Im so whipped and its this albums fault. 

Where is my Stray KidsXATEEZ collab?

4 SF9-Sensuous

Awww Ye. My SF9 babies! Needless to say, I love SF9. And this whole album......Oh man... I wanna frame it. I don’t wanna say I was shocked when listening to it for the first time because that makes it sound like I didn’t expect them to just slay me. I totally understand their talent and how good they are. But.... I.LOVE.EVERY.SINGLE.SONG. Like most albums I always have like 1 or 2 songs that Im like “Oh man....its good....but I like ____ more” Nope, not with this album. Every single song is a certified bop and yall need to stop sleeping on SF9.

3.  BTOB- Hour Moment

I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH. BtoB is also another group I got into this year, and even tho this is their first album as a 6 member group (soon to be 5) it is on repeat for me. Ballads are my weakness, so a ballad group like BtoB makes me wonder why I didnt get into them earlier????

(Also Climax is my favorite song of 2018)

2.  Monsta X-The Connect

ALL HAIL MONSTA KINGS. 

Like how are some of you still sleeping on them????

But anyways, this album....man oh man. I will say while Jealousy was my least favorite title track song out of theirs the album as a whole is so fucking strong. Monsta X is that type of group that with every album they get so much better, so much stronger, so much.....UGH. This album is just one example of that. Jooheon and I.M’s rapping? Find me another group with that level of rapping talent. Kihyuns vocals? Dude. So unique. If you like hard core bops that make you just wanna bang your head, then this is your album (and your group)

1.Infinite- Top Seed, Stray Kids- I am NOT

Leave it to me to cheat the system. But sorry, nope, cant choose between these 2. 2018 was the year I got into Infinite, and is my top group that I got into this year. I LOVE them. Their vocals...oh man...next to BtoB they have the best vocals in kpop. Just how the mesh together and everything, but anyways the album Sarah the album. .They really show what a veteran group can do and all the songs make me wanna either laugh or cry, or both. The album in itself got to showcase all their individual talents in solo songs and I was NOT disappointed See what I did there? I was NOT? I am NOT? (Okay sarah stop the cringe is real)

Do I even need to explain this last one? For those that don’t know, even tho my tumblr name and icon are Monsta X related and my ULT group is Seventeen, I am 100000% whipped for the 9 member rookie group Stray Kids. I truly believe they are going to be the next big thing, or at least they are going to be their version of the next best big thing. They are trying to step out of the normal world of kpop and push their boundaries. I’ve been following them since their survival show and so when their debut album came out I definitely was not disappointed. Every single song showcases what they are about, their lyrics...so deep ...deeper then what I expect a rookie group of mostly Teenagers to write about....man....3RACHA outdo themselves. This deserves my #1 spot.

Well that was fun! 2018 was such an amazing year for kpop. So many AMAZING albums it was so hard to pick just 11 haha. I can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store for us in the Kpop world.

 If anyone would like to do this as well id love to see what yours are!
