South Korea’s SEO Chaehyun 🇰🇷 tops the women’s Boulder & Lead rankings after the semi-finals and heads the competition into tomorrow’s final. 📸 Kazushige Nakajima (via @ifsclimbing)

[stephantom]

Gonna make my predictions for women’s boulder & lead combined before I watch the boulder semifinals round.

Top 8 from bouldering will be: Janja Garnbret, Brooke Rabatou, Natalia Grosssman, Miho Nonaka, Erin McNiece, Oriane Bertone, Zhilu Luo, and Jenya Kazbekova.

Then we’ll have to wait a couple days for the lead round of semis, and the people likely to get the highest scores there are: Janja Garnbret, Ai Mori, Chaehyun Seo, Jessi Pilz, Laura Rogora, Mia Krampl, Brooke Rabatou, and Natalia Grossman.

So I think the 8 moving on to the finals will be:

Janja Garnbret, Brooke Rabatou, Natalia Grossman, Ai Mori, Miho Nonaka… Those are the 5 I’m pretty sure about, and the remaining 3 slots are a tossup between: Zhilu Luo, Erin McNiece, Jessi Pilz, Jenya Kazbekova, and Chaehyun Seo. Oh, and Oriane Bertone!!

My podium prediction…. Obviously Janja Garnbret for gold! And then?? Man, I don’t know—totally depends if Ai Mori has a good boulder round or not and if Brooke and/or Natalia have a good lead round. And I could see any of these women making the podium tbh, but I’ll go with Brooke for silver and Ai Mori for bronze. ??

My hot take of the week:

Barbie + oppenheimer: meh x 2

The true dual pillar of entertainment glory happening right now: womens world cup + sport climbing world champs.

Imo, Barbie was entry-level feminism (sorry, you're welcome to change my mind), but Bern 2023 has been one hell of a celebration of women being absolute CRUSHERS while also being so wholesome and amazing and supportive of each other.

Five billion spoilers for the event below and also a very unwarranted climbing geek-out sesh, under the cut.

Janja Garnbret being the absolute GOAT all through bouldering semis and finals (also her absolute monstrosity of turning on beast mode in the last couple of seconds to clinch a buzzer beater top in lead)

Ai Mori's absolute MASTERCLASS in the lead semis and finals, her composure and NERVES good god, to have to climb last knowing Janja's probably already topped the route

Brooke and Ori's stunning inventiveness and SWAG in the bouldering segment

Seo Chaehyun beating her recent streak of bad luck to get on the podium

Up and coming stars like Zelia and Molly and Elnaz

LEGENDARY mothers like Jain Kim (and shout out to Brooke's mom in the audience too)

Miho's had a tough time of it but can I just say she continues to give clutch performances when she needs it (what a stunning climb she pulled off in the lead semis)

Shauna being a GEM in the commentator's box, rattling off these super insightful/wholesome comments like it's NOTHING...

Everyone hugging and being so happy for each other when everything's said and done. Like omg Brooke and Janja's double hug after bouldering finals nearly made me tear up, and Seo/Ai's little smiles at each other while waiting to receive their medals even though they both so rarely smile...

I just feel SO well-fed. These women are the absolute bomb (ha) and I have slept at 3am on 2 consecutive days but god am I hyped for combined boulder + lead next.

Everything I watch in Jan 2024

I was going to post my annual everything I watched in 2023 post but I feel like I missed my opportunity, so here is my everything I watched in January 2024... (Be Warned there are some spoilers, I do try to mark them throughout the review)

My Lovely Boxer (2023, Kim Min-joo)

Main leads: Lee Sang-yeob, Kim So-hye, Park Ji-hwan, Kim Hyung-mook, Kim Jin-woo, Ha Seung-ri, Chae Won-bin

Country: S. Korea

Run: August 21 to Oct 2, 2023 (KBS2, Monday and Tuesday @21:45 (KST))

Episodes: 12, 70 min

Thoughts: Lee Kwon-sook (Kim So-hye) is a boxer who is forcibly thrown back into the world boxing that she has retired from by a sports agent Kim Tae-young (Lee Sang-yeob). I really liked how they balanced the characters. Lee Kwon-sook is a cheerful girl who is constantly haunted by her past. And she is allowed agency to do what she can do, despite the efforts of others. And the relationship between Lee Kwon-sook and Kim Tae-young, though slightly toxic, works in an odd way. I did have problems with how they reconnected her with her father.I personally wouldn’t have forgiven him. However, I loved the relationship with Han Ah-reum, and just how that story ends. I thought it was done very well. Overall I have really enjoyed this drama. Rating: 

Unlock My Boss (2022-2023, Kim Hyung-min)

Main leads: Chae Jong-hyeop, Seo Eun-soo, Park Sung-woong

Country: S. Korea

Run: Dec 7, 2022 to Jan 12, 2023 (ENA, Wednesday and Thursday @21:00 (KST))

Episodes: 12, 60 min

Thoughts: Oh wow, this is more enjoyable than I imagined. Chase Jong-hyeop as Park In-seong is so fun. He is adorable, down to earth but capable. Jun Se-yeon (Seo Eun-soo) was amazing and I loved her complexities as a character. And the trio of Kim Seon-joo (Park Sung-woong), Park In-seong, and Jun Se-yeon, was so fun and I loved the little family they formed. I literally cried so much during this show for no reason. Like the zoom into the phone literally made me sob each time for no reason. Rating: Who knew electronics can have that much range?

Night Has Come (2023, Kang Min-Ji)

Main leads: Lee Jae-In, Kim Woo-Seok, Choi Ye-Bin, Cha Woo-Min, Ahn Ji-Ho, Jung So-Ri

Country: S. Korea

Run: Dec 4,, 2023 ( U+mobiletv)

Episodes: 12, 35 to 40 min

Thoughts: This started off really good. A class gets thrust into a mafia game to the death. You along with the characters are wondering who is the mafia among the students and who is forcing this game. It is really interesting, but the episodes follow the same pattern. The end you find everything out, and it's kind of stupied. They had a classmate who committed sucide due to a badly edited image of herself on a skimply clad woman’s body. Which is yeah bad. Then her parents take revenge on the whole class. They are placed in this mafia simulator to repeat the game over and over again. It ends with Lee Yoon-seo able to remember everything, but still trapped in the simulator. Like where their parents are. People must be concerned right. Rating: Sisphyus boulder, I guess…

The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract (2023-2024, Go Nam-jeong)

Main leads: Lee Se-young, Bae In-hyuk, Joo Hyun-young, Yoo Seon-ho, Jo Bok-rae

Country: S. Korea

Run: Nov 24, 2023 to Jan 6, 2024 (MBC TV Friday and Saturday @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 12, 70 min

Thoughts: This was a cute drama. It starts off with a cute romance between a progressive woman in Joseon and a sick scholar. However, it quickly becomes a tragedy and she is sent to the year 2023 with her hand maid Sa-wol (Joo Hyun-young). It quickly becomes a fish out of water for Park Yeon-woo (Lee Se-young), but luckly she meets the recacrante of her late husband Kang Tae-ha (Bae In-hyuk) and they make a deal. It is a cute drama and I loved the cast of characters. Yeon-woo is easy to root for. Sa-wol is adorable, and adapts quickly. Kang Tae-ha is prickly but has a heart of gold. It's dramatic and fun. It's nothing special, but oh is it so good. My favorite part is Yeon-woo and Sa-wol’s relationship. Literally there is a scene with those two that reflects a romantic scene in Perfect Marriage Revenage (2023) which I can’t stop thinking about. Overall I just really enjoyed my time. Rating: butterflies everytime I think about you…

Joseon Attorney: A Morality (2023,Choi Jin-young)

Main leads: Woo Do-hwan, Bona, Cha Hak-yeon

Country: S. Korea

Run: March 31 to May 5, 2023 (MBC TV Friday and Saturday @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts:  This was a lot like Taxi Driver. In the way you have an episodic feel with a charismatic male lead seeking revenge and helping people. I had a lot of fun with this show, and I don’t use the comparison lightly either. I really had fun with it. The romance was okay, but I liked the different stories, and the main revenge plot was easy to follow along with. Woo Do-hwan is a great actor and meant to be a leading man. It's definitely  not my favorite and there are a few things that needed changing but it was fun overall! Rating: Who do you call?... Joseon Attorney!!!

KBS Drama Special 14 (2023, Choi Ja-won, Yun Tae-woo, Cho Il-yeon, Choi Yi-kyung, Wi Jae-hwa, Kwon Oh-joo,Park Eun-seo, Jo Soo-yeong, Kim Ik-hyun)

Main leads: Lee Jae-won, Choi Seong-won, and Kim Kang-hyeon,  Kim Won-hae, Min Ji-ah, Ahn Se-bin and Park Ji-ah, Lee Min-jae, Kim Hyun-soo, and Kang Na-eon,  Moon Woo-jin, Park Seo-kyung, Park Ha-sun, Kim Joo-heon, Kim Do-hoon, Chae Won-bin, Kim Dong-hwi, Jo A-ram, Shim Yi-young, Joo Seok-tae,  Ren, Park Sang-nam, Hong Seung-hee, Hahm Eun-jung,  Kim Kang-min, Yoon San-ha, Baek Sung-hyun

Country: S. Korea

Run: OCT 14 to Dec 16, 2023 (KBS, Saturday 21:50 to 22:50 (KST))

Episodes: 10, 60 to 80 min

Thoughts: This is a yearly anthogolgy series that follows various characters in various time periods with various goals. I thought a lot of them were really cool and interesting. “Love Attack” was by far one of my favorites, but I also really liked “The True Love of Madam” which was shocking for me.  It was also hard to find any subs for “Overlap, Knife, Knife” so I had to rely on visual cues and the small amount of Korean I know. But I thought this was a fun anthrologie series, and the stories are fun and fresh. Rating: I love getting short and quick stories like this, its the reason I love short films so much.

A Good Day to Be a Dog (2023-2024, Baek In-ah)

Main leads: Park Gyu-young, Cha Eun-woo, Lee Hyun-woo

Country: S. Korea

Run: Oct 11, 2023 to Jan 10, 2024 (MBC, Wednesday 21:00 (KST))

Episodes: 14, 70 min

Thoughts: Apparently it is very different from the webtoon ( which I have never read), but I found it entertaining. It is cute and lighthearted. I always like when its past lives, I think it adds a fun element to romances. Though I do think the schedule of the show hindered my enjoyment, because it would be so long between episodes. They also lost me at the end, I can not lie. Rating/Spoiler: Also I would be so angery if I found out my family curse passed down for generations was over a misunderstanding. I would want an apology, reparations, and revenge. On another note, I would also be so pissed if I killed myself to save my servant's baby; then my boyfriend finished off the dying father, then cursed the child and its offspring. I would be pissed, like my scarfice was for not. Go off mountain spirit I guess…

My 20th Twenty (2023, N/A)

Main leads: Choi Yu Ju , Jung Su Bin

Country: S. Korea

Run: April 21 to may 27, 2023 (Wavve, Friday and Saturday)

Episodes: 12, 15 min

Thoughts: This show was good for what it was. It has the vibe of a college student film with a mix of those youtube series made by middle schoolers back in 2009. And I mean that with the highest praise. The sound mixing was off, they had limited cast (background actors is what you are looking for), no interesting lighting (but very well light- i.e the student film vibes), and the actors new to the scene. I loved every motherfucking moment. It was so cheesy, the script was bad, and nothing made sense. But I knew that it was made with passion. Rating: It would be horrifying being 20 forever

Taxi Driver Season 2 (2023, Oh Sang-ho)

Main leads: Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin, Jang Hyuk-jin, Bae Yoo-ram, Shin Jae-ha

Country: S. Korea

Run: Feb 17 to April 15, 2023 (SBS, TV Friday and Saturday @22:00 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: Back in action the second season is so much fun and entertaining. I actually like it better than the first. And I said this once and I’ll say it again Lee Je-hoon is made to be an action star. He’s as great as Kim Do-gi. I also liked that Ahn Go-eun (Pyo Ye-jin)  had a larger role this season. I also just love the friendship in the Rainbow Taxi service. Just so fun. Rating: imagine being taken down by a taxi service…

Taxi Driver Special (2023, SBS)

Main leads:  Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin, Jang Hyuk-jin, Bae Yoo-ram, Shin Jae-ha

Country: S. Korea

Run: Feb 16 to March 4, 2023 ( KBS)

Episodes: 2, 60 -120 min

Thoughts: This was fun seeing the cast reflect on the episodes and their characters. Its also cool just seeing a reply of everything that happened. You could tell how much Lee Je-hoon loves playing Kim Do-gi. Rating: I am excited for the 3rd season…

Brain Works (2023, Park Kyung-seon)

Main leads: Jung Yong-hwa, Cha Tae-hyun, Kwak Sun-young, Ye Ji-won

Country: S. Korea

Run: Jan 2 to Fe 28, 2023 (KBS2 Monday and Tuesday @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 75 min

Thoughts:This show is weird. I think most cop shows are weird but this one especially. I did like the bromance in this, between Shin Ha-ru (Jung Yong-hwa) and Geum Myung-se (Ch Tae-hyun). I did think neuroscience was weird and defies logic. The only good thing about it was when they didn’t completely vilify Pyschopaths, because it tends to be more complicated than the mainstream likes to show. It still left a lot to be desired but it was there. Also when he lowkey kidnapped and torture that kid, oh my god, like he was a little punk and deserved to go to trail but my god. Rating: This is lowkey giving Minority Report tbh…

My Cuteness is about to expire!? (2022,  Tanabe Shigenori)

Main leads: Yamada Ryosuke, Yoshine Kyoko 

Country: Japan 

Run: April 16 to June 11, 2022 (TV Asahi, Saturday 23:30)

Episodes: 9, 23 to 47 min

Thoughts: Maruya is your typical male narcissist who works in sales. He uses his cuteness to stake by in life, to make up for his average skills. One day he is visited by his future self, whom he deems ugly, tells him that his cuteness is going to expire. He decides, after relizing his crush, the only way to prevent this is to date Sanada, a robotic newbie to the sales team. It is cute and Maruya and Sanada are fun as a couple, plus if you have the time you could watch this in a day. Rating: I’m Ichinose calling every single person every 10 seconds sobbing…

My Dearest Pt 1 (2023, Hwang Jin-young)

Main leads: Namkoong Min, Ahn Eun-jin, Lee Hak-joo, Lee Da-in, Kim Yoon-woo, Lee Chung-ah

Country: S. Korea

Run: August 4 to Sept 2, 2023 (MBC TV, Friday and Saturday 21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 10, 60 to 90 min

Thoughts:  I was not expecting to like this more than I did. The angst in every episode is so insane. Episode 10 was actually unbearable. I also want to take a moment and appreciate Yoo Gil-chae (Ahn Eun-jin), she is such a complicated  character. She would do anything for her friends, she is willing to do the things that no other women (noble) are willing to do even during times of war. She will stab the man assualting her friend and cover it up. She would cut the amicable cord, she would stab the mother’s hand. She isn’t pure of heart, she neveer claimed to be. I love her so much. And her relationship with Lee Jang-hyun. The ending of episode 10. I was sobbing. Rating: I am trying to hype myself up to watch the next 11 episodes, people had to wait inbetween…

The Escape of the Seven (2023, Kim Soon-ok)

Main leads: Um Ki-joon, Hwang Jung-eum, Lee Joon, Lee Yu-bi, Shin Eun-kyung, Yoon Jong-hoon, Jo Yoon-hee, Jo Jae-yoon

Country: S. Korea

Run: Sept 15 to Nov 17, 2023 (SBS TV Friday and Saturday 22:00 (KST))

Episodes: 17, 70 to 80 min

Thoughts: This was an insane ride. Literally no one in this likeable except for a few, like I didn’t think Min Do-hyuk (Lee Joon) was as bad as the others but oh lordy. It is so melodramatic, which took me off graud for some reason. Going into it I thought it was going to be a serious thriller, but oh boy was I wrong. It was Makjang. Which is fine, and also coming back in style apparently. I’m sat for season 2, but not with much hope. Rating: I actually don’t know the timeline of any of these events, does it expand years months, idk…

My Demon (2023-2024, Choi Ah-il)

Main leads: Kim Yoo-jung, Song Kang, Lee Sang-yi, Kim Hae-sook

Country: S. Korea

Run: Nov 24, 2023 to Jan 20, 2024 (SBS TV,  Friday and Saturday @22:00 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: I was excited for this drama. I really liked Doom at Your Service which promised to have a similar vibe. Which it did to an extent. I actually hate Song Kang in romances and only really like him in nonromance shows. However I think he did really well as Jeong Gu-won. I liked the overall Romance in the show. But I did think the revenge plot got uninteresting and confusing after a while. I do like the ending, I was pretty satisfied with where everyone ended up, which has been a long time since I’ve been this satisfied. 

Welcome to Samdal-ri (2023-2024, Kwon Hye-joo)

Main leads: Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hye-sun

Country: S. Korea

Run: Dec 2, 2023 ti Jan 21, 2024 (JTBC, Saturday and Sunday 22:30 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: This was cute and was far above my expectations. I am always uneasy with Ji Chang Wook, I can’t forgive him for the Melting My Heart drama a few years back, but I would do anything for Shin Hye-sun. So I gave this drama a go, and I liked it. I loved the vibes, and I didn’t mind that revenge wasn’t the main plot. It's like the one line “my enemies will take themselves out before you get a chance to swing.” It was heartwarming and I’m glad that Cho Sam-dal was able to find peace in her hometown. I loved the feel of community. I loved all the Friendships. It was very lovely. And I’m happy at the ending. I will also give my entire heart to Cho Hae-dal and Cha Ha-yul. I loved their mother-daughter relationship. I wanted more screen time for both. Rating: I’m glad there is a little piece of heaven…

 Game of Witches ( 2022-2023, Lee Do-Hyun)

Main leads: Jang Seo-Hee, Kim Kyu-Seon, Lee Hyun-Seok, Oh Chang-Suk. Han Ji-Wan, Ban Hyo-Jung

Country: S. Korea

Run: Oct 11, 2022 to April 14, 2023 (MBC, Monday to Friday 19:15 (KST))

Episodes: 119, 25 to 28 min

Thoughts: *Major Spoilers+ Rant ahead.* This show makes me unneccsarly angery. It is a daily drama and a Makjang to boot, so literally put any and all expectations in the gutter. Everything is nonsensical, and drawn out to reach the 119 mark. Storylines get dropped or move way too fast. It has a strange family tree and for a moment every single person was supposbly related. They have so much evidence agsaint the scheming Kang Ji-ho (Oh Chang-suk) and Joo Se-young (Han Ji-wan) but it goes nowhere. Speaking of Kang Ji-ho, he was just straight up dispicable. I would say more than Se-ypung of Ma Hyun-Deok (Ban Hyo-Jung). He was a terrible partner and father from the start. He literally tossed his entire family out the door for Se-young and eventual power. He only paid attention to his daughter Kang Han-Byeol (Kwon Dan-A) when she was able to benefit him. He was at best neglectful and at worst abusive towards her. Han-byeol was the true victim. Hye-soo (Kim Kyu-Seon) actually had a motive in the beginning. She was just pathetic and weak but once she returned they weirdly sidelined her. Also I don’t know why Kang Ji-ho never got prosecuted for trying to kill Hye-soo. Like I find that to be one of his more egregious crimes. Like that is the mother of your child. You gave your child so much trauma, for what? Power? Like when they tried to redeem him at the end I was just fed up. You can’t make hime out to be the big bad guy for 118 episodes, and then have him do one good thing. He is a bad father, and when Han Byeol grows up she will resent him. Rating: Fuck this show, like actually.

 My Dearest Part 2(2023, Hwang Jin-young)

Main leads: Namkoong Min, Ahn Eun-jin, Lee Hak-joo, Lee Da-in, Kim Yoon-woo, Lee Chung-ah

Country: S. Korea

Run: Oct 13 to Nov 18, 2023 (MBC TV, Friday and Saturday 21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 11, 60 to 90 min

Thoughts: More devastating than the first part. Gil-chae is probably my favorite character I have watched. Her journey in this part is absolutely devastating but she survives. I enjoyed the refutement from blame, that people who experienced the worst horrors known are somehow blamed. Gil Chae pushes back on this sentiment herself. This entire time I just wanted Jang-hyun and Gil Chea together. Which took the entire part for them to finally be happy. I do think the ending was kind of wobbly, and they only really needed 10  episodes not the 11. But who am I to say? Anyways I enjoyed the show overall. Rating: My Dear Husband… 

Kokdu: Season of Diety (2023, Kang Yi-heon, Heo Jun-woo)

Main leads: Kim Jung-hyun, Im Soo-hyang, Kim Da-som, Ahn Woo-yeon, Kim In-kwon, Cha Chung-hwa

Country: S. Korea

Run: Jan 27 to March 24, 2023 (MBC TV Fridays and Saturdays @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: You must be wondering why did you watch this? It only has bad reviews- which is a lie, it is actually a polarizing show. And I can understand. If you go into this show with the lowest expectations imaginable and it might be fun. The scenery is pretty and they make decent use of it. Main Romance is actually not good, I felt no chemistry between Kim Jung-Hyun and Im Soo-hyang. I did like the romance between Tae Jeong-won (Kim Da-som) and Han Cheol (Ahn Woo-yeon) other than that The show overall fell flat. I did like the scenery and the setting. I thought it was fun. Also episode 16 was the most enjoyable episode, which is good for an ending. Rating: I would skip…

[yaniidme]

hi hello everyone, sorry this is so late AGAIN, but hi this is kip (they/them) and i bring you my third ABSOLUTE bean yumi. i was gonna wait to bring her but i was just way too excited. she’s a daddy’s girl and flora’s maknae and just so precious i’ve fallen so hard for her. under the cut has a lot of her background and a bit of her career not elaborated on in her profiles. you can find those ( here ) & ( here ), and her pinterest board (which i am OBSESSED with) ( here ). you can find me on discord (  ichigo kurosaki solo stan#5103 ) or message me on ( @thatsohkai ) for plotting or just give this a like and i’ll come to you.

—— look who’s joining the infinite tour! only SEO YUMI , who is the LEAD VOCALIST of FLORA. i’ve heard whispers that the 24 year old is pretty ENDEARING but lowkey CAUTIOUS. also, doesn’t she/they remind you of SON CHAEYOUNG?

she was born to high school sweethearts kangjeon changbin and maxine seo in the village of biei japan september 27th, 1998,  her father at the time began as an french professor at university of tokyo. yumi was supposed to be born back in her mother’s home village of jeollnam-do, sk but she was a bit too early and ended up being born in biei where her parents were temporarily living for her father’s job.

her mother died in a burglary gone wrong right around the time she started working again after yumi’s birth

changbin was devastated by his wife’s passing but after a long time of court proceedings he decided it was time to move forward raising yumi

dad pretty much raised her like a boy but in a loving ,genderless way

her father had been loving and doting her whole life, he encouraged her to do everything she wanted ( within reason ), taught her to be tough as nails and not afraid to get down and dirty while still teaching her empathy and compassion.

teaming up with his love for the outdoors he packed one and a half year old yumi up and began his journey traveling the world and teaching a myriad of languages. his goal was to see every country at least once (even if it was the airport or through on the bus or some sort of transportation) before he died, a goal he’d originally set with her mother that they’d begin when yumi started uni.

they started furthest west, the us, in erie and blouder, coloardo. he got a short term job teaching korean at university of colorado boulder. this is where yumi began the first portions of her life, she started talking learning english, korean and japanese simultaneously.

then it was on to paraiso and changbin began teaching english at santa maria la antigua catholic school.

next was são caetano do sul , brazil where he taught english and spanish at university of sao paulo

it was here in sao paulo where yumi took quite the tumble down the side of a hill while hiking with her father. she’d gotten up with what they thought were only wounded pride and cuts and bruises even though she knocked into a few rocks on the way down. but after awhile the ringing in her ears never stopped and changbin was concerned at his daughters complaints of the dimming of sound in her left ear. after a trip to the hospital it was notated that her woozy stance, v*mitting and headaches weren’t just from being shaken up from the fall but the result of a nasty concussion. )

ct scans revealed that the fall resulted in damage to her inner ear which led to/would lead to sensorineural hearing loss. and sure enough yumi lost about 80% of her hearing in that ear after suffering from a wide range of hearing related issues (i.e. soft sounds suddenly becoming to quiet or loud/normally moderate sounds too loud)

after brazil he made his way to le cannet, france where he taught korean at skema. it was here she was fitted for her first hearing aid.

he went on to ship them across the pond to helsingor, denmark and taught english at the university of coppenhagen, then to nuremberg, germany where he taught spanish at university of munik. he took a small break for a few months and they settled in mariehamn, aland islands, finnland for some daddy daughter time and then off they were off to ipoh, malaysia for a stint at universati malaya.

it was in malaysia that yumi got into kpop fully, and pondered on the idea of becoming a trainee herself

when they arrived at  for her father’s job at yonsei, she’d ultimately made the decision to join vibe productions at their global auditions and flew back to japan to do so.

during their time abroad yumi was home schooled or sent to a local school. the small times at those schools or in those smaller villages pushed yumi’s dad to teach her a stable amount of most of the languages. some she speaks conversational, other’s advanced or complete mastery.

a little on her music career

yumi joined vibe productions in 2011

she was snatched up immediately bc of her visuals

even after years of practicing dances at home to counter the minor issue with her balance she still fell behind the other trainees in the dance department

vibe often told her she made up for it with her visuals and her voice

even then as they pumped out girl group after girl group and soloist after soloist they still hadn’t picked yumi, and she trained for 2.5 years with them only to not debut

she was frustrated but determined to be an idol even with her disability as her dad taught her if she wanted something the only option was to go all the way.

taking matters into her own hands she prematurely terminated her trainee contract with vibe after being stopped by a new star entertainment scout while out at coffee with some friends in japan.

shortly after joining new star they told her she was set to debut in their upcoming girl group which started  GRUELING 8 month training period as she had to catch up to the other four girls

vibe convinced her to use her mother’s surname instead of her father’s upon her reveal to debut. she doesn’t mind it all and her dad feels like its a good way to honor her mother even though she didn’t really know her.

at the head of her debut she was completely bashed by kmedia bc they believed another new start trainee was booted for her to take their spot simply because she was prettier.

she often still gets ridiculed for her dance abilities

as the public got to know her she was given the “nation’s girlfriend” title in 2017 as they had grown to love her boyish charms ( think ryujin of itzy ) while still meeting what netz say is 90+% of the korean beauty standards even though she was a foreign idol. ( similar to tzuyu? )

even with her boyish charms she began to really come into her femininity with flora given their concepts and has grown more comfortable balancing both sides of her though she still considers her self a tomboy.

silver’s absence was very hard on her,  but in a weird way pushed her to work harder, there was a stark difference in how she performed and carried herself during the queendom era, versus before ( think shuhua in nxde ). fans think it’s her fave bc of its in reality she hates it (think nayeon and i’m gonna be a star)

has gone viral multiple times for teaching her fans dead languages or history on live or helping with homework fans send in during them

tidbits of her personality

seems like the cute maknae but is actually super wise and a bit on the serious side but she loves a good laugh

literally showed up to the flora dorm her first day like this shag cut and all.

pretty quiet and introverted but not to the extent that she’s closed off

very whimsical and go with the flow

LOVES to get down and dirty

the type to go lay out in the rain or be found hiding in a corner outside reading a book

‘dad’ of the dorm she fixes things and does a lot of the heavy lifting and often teased the other members saying bc they’re too old in reality she just likes tinkering

she also will be the first to hop out to change a tire, change the oil , help a hurt animal on the side of the road etc.

her guilty pleasure is cozy games on switch

likes sculpting and clay work bc they’re messy

tries to at least hike, rock climb, kayak, or surf in every country they visit

globally acclaimed tomboy and is loved by most of not all sapphic fans of the industry (very moonbyul, ryujin, chaeyoung etc)

sweet and whimsical, very cottage core in mindset with a boho y2k grunge edge. she'd root for the under dog, is down for vigilante justice and is loyal as fuck. but doesn't like a lot of friends. she's quiet and loves literature, language and travel, pretty on the serious side but loves to laugh. her child really comes through sometimes and she tends to like "childish" things (plushies, pastels, cozy games, etc). everything has a place even if her room is messy. and she's feminine with an outdoorsy tomboy underneath (bc raised by dad)

find her with a book curled in a corner if she doesn’t want to be bothered

has a slight temper will scrap for flora 

calico cat energy. ( iykyk )

moving around like she did made it really hard for her to make connections so she didn’t bother. her first friend was a kpop friend in japan that she went to the global audition with. and even when she became a trainee she only had one friend even in her long couple of years. it because of the short period of time it took her a good bit to warm up to flora.

the girls of flora pretty much got yumi to where she is today in terms of her femininity and fashion. for awhile she tried to be hyper feminine, growing her dark hair out etc etc, but after cutting it for a comeback she found herself desperately looking for a medium. cue her y2k grunge hippie/hobo aesthetic now.

knows asl, ksl, and jsl and often teaches fans on live as well for the fun of it.

extras

has a brown poodle named klaus and a  white rat named mortimer and and black one named wednesday

had kaiso custom paint her long board that she brought on tour with her

quiet girl

but an adrenaline junkie

true crime enthusiast

would love to climb a famous mountain with her dad

her dad sends her a magnet, sticker or post card from whatever country he’s in and she always collects one thing ( often antiques ) from the countries they visited on tour

can be v reckless when comfortable

she likes idle skin ship so like absent minded touching while doing something else

iq of 148 ( thanks joonie )

has an online masters degree from colombia university double majoring in history and literature and art & archeology, got her bachelors at SU in linguistics

knows asl taught herself jsl and ksl

serial blonde rip her scalp she’ll go black at some point to give her hair a break

extensive plushie collection but gomez was the only one who made the trip

her dad is still traveling and he ships her something from every country he visits

super green, clean energy hug the earth girly, the only reason she isnt vegetarian is kbbq

and i think thats all im literally in love with her so please love her back i’m gonna add plots when my term paper isn’t looming over my head.

Thoughts as we get closer to Paris 2024

There are so many more sports than I realized. I really got into the boulder climbing. Erin McNeice(GBR) is a BEAST. Chaehyun Seo(KOR) is wonderful also.

Steet Skateboarding: Chloe Covell(AUS) is such a fighter. Coco Yoshizawa(JPN) is lovely also.

Rayssa(BRA), I went into Shanghai liking her. But as Chloe fought for attempt after attempt in best trick, Rayssa kind of took a backseat for me.

Track And Field: Stockholm stage of the diamond league today. I got to see Amy Hunt(GBR) again, yay. I have loved everything she's done that I've seen. She is so so good.

Femke Bol(NED) is phenomenal. I watched her in the Tokyo Olympics as well.

Jemma Reekie(GBR). I've always been a sucker for blondes. I watched Doha while after it aired. But I still loved it.

And It took me a minute to remember but Doha was also the first time where I saw Amy Hunt(GBR).

I will try to make the Budapest entry a little bit more organized. I didn't even touch on the breaking finals in Shanghai . I did like the breaking. it's just a lot of flashing lights and I needed a minute to digest it.

[ad_1] Do you crave to write what you want – without worrying about keyword research, Google, or positions? I get it.  There are times when following the Google rules and optimizing content feels…boring. Sure, you know following SEO writing best practices is important. Still, you wish you could break free and write what’s on your mind – not what Semrush (or another keyword research tool) tells you is a popular keyword search. ➡️ Do you want to try Semrush at no cost to you for 14 days? Here’s how to sign up. Granted, having a set SEO content strategy in place is crucial – you can’t post whatever you want willy-nilly and still expect to position for your money-making keywords. It doesn’t quite work that way. But, there are times you can throw SEO out the window and write what you (or your client) want. Here’s when it’s okay. When you’re penning a personal story Some authors – even on a business blog – write personal transformation stories designed to motivate, show the author’s “why,” and showcase the person behind the brand. Often, these stories are raw, transparent, and powerful. For instance, I wrote this post about climbing out of my comfort zone and how bouldering in the Grand Canyon helped me realize I was capable of so much more. Or, this post, which I wrote to remind readers they ARE a real writer – even if they’re new to the game, haven’t gotten paid much, or don’t have a huge Instagram following. Could I have added keyphrases to the posts? Sure. Looking back, I see some opportunities to add a keyphrase like [how do I know when I’ve made it as a writer]. But, at the moment, writing an optimized post wasn’t the goal – it was sharing my story and motivating my readers. I may play with the post someday to see what I can do, but I’m pretty happy with its un-optimized status. When a subject matter expert is writing the content In a perfect world, subject matter experts would follow SEO style guides, research keywords, and write carefully structured (yet authoritative) articles designed to position well. Yeah, it doesn’t work like that. Many times, especially in highly technical companies, SMEs write what they write – and they aren’t interested in learning SEO writing best practices. As SEO content writers, this can drive us a little nuts because (1) we want ALL content to be optimized, and (2) we’re afraid readers won’t be able to find those highly useful (but unoptimized posts.) But here’s the thing… Often, SME content is so highly technical that it almost doesn’t need optimization (other than a good Title and some subheadlines.) That’s because the topic is so specific that it could easily be positioned for long-tail search terms – something only the target reader would type into Google. Is it ideal? No. Is it workable? Oh yes. In fact, an SME from a company I worked with sketched a diagram on a Starbucks napkin, took a photo, and wrote a blog post explaining the napkin diagram. The article wasn’t optimized or fancy-looking. Heck, the featured image was a napkin! But it was still one of the company’s most trafficked blog posts. When you’re sharing knowledge in a fun way. Not every post needs to be buttoned down and serious – even on a B2B site. For instance, I wrote this post years ago showcasing 14 SEO writing tips – in Haiku. Was the article a blast to write? Yes. Does it share worthwhile SEO tips? Also yes. It even has backlinks (which wasn’t the goal, but it’s fun to see people citing the post and creating their own Haiku.) Ready to write non-optimized content? Make sure you do these things first… Have an SEO writing strategy in place. Although this seems like a basic tip I already mentioned in this article, many site owners will STILL write whatever they want, thinking, “Google will figure it out.” Nope. That’s not the case. Yes, you can break the SEO writing rules – but you’ve got to know those rules to break them. Keep your non-optimized content reader focused. You could write about the upcoming election and why you’re rooting for a particular candidate.

But if your blog is about holistic pet care – and you’re ranting against a political party or stance – you may lose readership. Before you publish one-off content, ask how it fits with your overarching content theme. If it’s too far out there, you may want to save that content for another platform. Track how the content does in Google and social. You may create a post that goes gangbusters on LinkedIn and drives leads…but gets zero Google positions. Or, you may find that the post written by the SME is driving unexpected long-tail traffic and gets cited on different blogs. Driving scads of Google traffic monthly is just one success metric – but it’s certainly not the only one. When you expand your definition of content success, you may find your content is doing better than you thought. (And if you’re a freelancer or work in-house, helping your client navigate their SEO strategy and optimizing what you CAN optimize is an extremely valuable skill set. Especially for those clients who complain that SEO writing steals their creativity and they prefer to write what they want.) So yes, feel free to shake it up – after you have a set strategy in place. That ensures you maintain (or build) the positions that drive profitable site traffic – while still having the freedom to have fun with some content. 💡 Did this post make you smile and think?
