I kinda wish Baekho and Aron would interact more.. I mean publicly? I know they love each other a lot and they don't seem to be so touchy feely like Aron and Ren are, or Baekho and minhyun are but still I just wanna see them together bc I miss their interactions (just wanted to vent sorry sjsgsjabja)

Baekho and Aron have had the least skinship since the beginning id like more moments between them too but trust me they love eachother just as much as any other members! It's just their personalities, minren are the youngest in the group so they just get doted on the most lol

Here's to more Baekron in 2020!

happily ever after, finally

so. nu’est had a comeback on monday, ending april and starting off may with a bang, at least for me. 

personally, april has been uneventful. a lot of moments that i can only describe as being ‘brief breaks from reality’ and feeling like i’m outside looking in. my uni semester chugs on, almost with me and without me at the same time. but as they have done since deja vu era, nu’est is back ([aron vc]: on a double-kick track!) to revive me from my stupor and keep me going for at least another month. 

it seems that they’re determined to spoil me, alongside other fans, with the ridiculous amount of content they’ve been putting out lately. which is apt, considering minhyun is back and all. (i roll my eyes at his antics a lot of the time, but i’m genuinely glad he’s back to complete the group once again.) and the release of their 6th mini album, Happily Ever After, is one of the bountiful blessings of the season. 

i’ve given myself about two days to fully process BET BET -- both music video and song -- and the rest of the album, playing all tracks on repeat during my commute to and from university. i’ve come to several conclusions since:

1. nu’est are definitely five of the most gorgeous men around ever,

2. all the mv elements and album tracks are so distinctly nu’est that i can’t even begin to comprehend any plagiarism accusations against them,

3. kim jonghyun (jr aka junior royal aka bugi aka nation’s leader aka very busy puppy aka... list goes on and on) is the next big tiddy kpop man we all deserve.

re: no. 2., specifically about the mv: i’m not even going to try rationalising how it all fits into the overall knights’ theme they’ve got going on. 

i’m not a huge fan of mv theories myself, being a cynic who believes that the overproduction of kpop mvs is really just a way to get fans to increase views and create buzz about the ‘plot’ strung together by scarcely related items featured in the video. but to say that i haven’t been inspired to piece together some form of story inspired by the previous nu’est mvs, however, would be a lie. 

call me a hypocrite -- i literally have a google doc file outlining a story surrounding the five knights and my own take on the implied overarching plot of the mvs, from Overcome all the way to Help Me.

BET BET, unfortunately, doesn’t quite have a place in the narrative i’ve built so far. the aesthetics aren’t what i expected, to be honest, but as a keen appreciator of beautiful men (and people, in general) i think they worked extremely well to highlight nu’est as the visual group that they are. as others continue to theorise and try to fit the new pieces into the overall puzzle that is the knights’ story, i’m opting out of it in favour of... well, appreciating jr’s right tiddy playing peek-a-boo throughout the music video. 

(jr tiddy enthusiasts wya !!!!!)

as a song, it’s as robust as i anticipated it would be. the overall build-up reminds me of Overcome, which happens to be my favourite ot5 title track. aron gets to rap and sing, which is another win for me. baekmin’s vocals soar over the busy production of the song, once again reminding me that their voices just complement each other so well. ren’s parts remain the most memorable, as with every other song they’ve had. and, of course, because i’m jr-biased, i am thoroughly enthusiastic about this new trend of layering his low, gritty vocals in contrast with the vocalists’ explicitly tenor-range voices. 

the b-sides are just as great, although the preview of Fine in the last minute of the mv set me up for a kind of ambivalence towards the track as a whole. i’m not so big on the loud synths in the hook, preferring Talk about love’s more laidback vibe. (also, it’s a song i can imagine as a jron subunit release, which is -- OOF. what a thought !) again, jr is featured singing-rapping, which showcases his growth as an artist -- he’s evidently gained more confidence with his voice beyond being the designated baritone main rapper, and it’s nice to see. (or, hear, i guess.) 

Different is another favourite of mine. it’s now stacked with seventeen’s Swimming Fool, amongst others, as Good Songs to Cruise Around in a Car To^TM playlist that i have yet to create but should. also, i’m not sure if minhyun’s part in the bridge is meant to be a reference to a line in Universe’s bridge, as it shares almost the same melody, but if it is, then i won’t say i’m entirely surprised. i feel like a lot of the elements in the new tracks hark back to stuff they’ve released before.

Segno is an example of this. it sounds like a call-and-response to Polaris, and gives the listeners more space to breathe and just... take it all in, compared to the other more saturated songs on the album. the baekron-minren vocal layering thing in the pre-chorus is a delight, and jr’s singing is especially pleasing to me. BASS reminds me of Look (a starlight night), ren’s slight slur in the second verse embodying the overall sexy vibe of the song, with the bits of rap and baekmin’s strong vocals packing quite the punch. 

minhyun’s Universe isn’t on the digital album, having been out for a while as a standalone pre-release, but i’m content to keep listening to it for as long as i can stand it. i’ve missed his soothing vocals so much, and hearing him croon a whole bop to himself after a year and a half of begging for scraps in wanna one is so satisfying. 

Happily Ever After is the conclusion to the thrilling queen and knights saga nu’est have been weaving for the past few years, but it marks a fresh start for them in the industry. i’m really excited to see how they’ll move forward from here on, as artists and as an idol group, newly reborn.

What are ur nu'est resolutions for 2020? I personally pray for more baekron interactions bc I miss them lots, a reality show!! Nu'est on running man 2020!!! I hope they achieve more than they did this year bc they deserve it so much 🥺🥺🥺

Omg I'm so sorry! I'm just now seeing this! (Tumblr loves to eat my notifications). Hmmm nu'year resolutions? Honestly I would die for a world tour (I'm too poor for kcon) I think the boys have worked hard enough and would do really well (we Texas loves are dying to see them!)
