Taxi Driver 2 Ep. 11 to 14 "Black Sun"

The series is based on real-life heinous crimes committed in Korea and has received praise from viewers for its performances and storylines.

The episodes 11 to 14 are based on the real-life case known as the "Burning Sun Scandal".

Burning Sun Scandal

The Burning Sun scandal, also known as Burning Sun gate, was a 2019 entertainment and sex scandal in Seoul. The scandal involved several celebrities, including Korean idols of popular K-Pop groups, and police officials. It was the largest scandal to hit the K-Pop industry. The allegations of sex crimes have added to the country's "molka" epidemic, which refers to the online distribution of nonconsensual sex videos taken of women. The scandal has become political fodder, with parties arguing over how to handle it.

On January 28, 2019, MBC Newsdesk reported an alleged assault of a male clubgoer by a staff member at Burning Sun, a prominent nightclub in Gangnam, in November 2018. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency investigated the club for alleged involvement in prostitution, drug trafficking, and police corruption. On March 11, 2019, Seungri, one of the club's directors and member of the boy group Big Bang, resigned from the entertainment industry after being charged with sexual bribery. The scandal involved allegations of rape and spy cams. Singer and entertainer Jung Joon-Young confessed to secretly filming himself having sex with women and sharing the videos without their knowledge or consent in the Jung Joon-Young KakaoTalk chatrooms. He resigned from the entertainment industry on March 12, 2019.

SBS funE discovered videos and chat conversations related to the Burning Sun scandal. The videos and chats date back to 2015-2016 and involve Jung, Seungri, and acquaintances. The exposé of the chatroom immediately affected several celebrities, with more being affected as the case developed. Yong Jun-Hyung of Highlight and Choi Jong-Hoon of F.T.Island resigned from their positions on March 14. The agency for Lee Jong-Hyun of CNBLUE admitted his involvement on March 15 after allegations that he participated in the chatrooms.

Legal proceedings, related to the scandal continued into 2021. Some police officers were disciplined for their actions at the Burning Sun club. However, the two most high-profile cases resulted in acquittals.

During the trial, Burning Sun's CEO, Lee Sung-Hyun, testified that he had paid former police officer Kang to cover up an incident involving an underage clubgoer. Nevertheless, Kang's one-year prison sentence was overturned due to lack of evidence.

A senior police official, Yoon Gyu-Geun, was arrested for allegations of bribery and mediating favours for the Burning Sun club and others. However, he was found innocent at his first trial. This case was well-publicized.

Burning Sun's CEO, Lee Moon-Ho, was sentenced to one year in prison on habitual drug use, including ecstasy and ketamine in Gangnam clubs. Additionally, one of the club's promoters, MD Cho, was sentenced to four years and six months for drug use and smuggling.

Police conducted drug sweeps at entertainment venues due to public interest in the scandal. The sweeps yielded hundreds of drug-related arrests, with a large percentage involving ecstasy and GHB, a commong date rape drug. Cases of sexual assault and rape, as well as the filming of illegal videos during drug use, were also discovered.

Seungri's business associate, Yoo In-Seok, admitted to providing prostitutes to potential Japanese investors and received a suspended sentence of three years probation for embezzlement.

Yang Hyun-Suk, former CEO of YG Entertainment, admitted to illegal gambling and money transactions in Las Vegas casinos. He was fined, along with three associates from YG and YGX.

Seungri's case concluded in January 2022 in a military appeals court. He received a reduced prison sentence of one and a half years and a fine. The court found him guilty of nine charges, including habitual gambling overseas, illegal money transactions, prostitution mediation and purchase, instigation of violence, violation of the Specific Economic Crimes Act, embezzlement, sharing illicit photos, and a violation of business operations.

4 Years Later: Where are they now?

All of the convicted, except for one, have been released from prison.

Jung Joon-Young

Jung Joon-Young owned the main chatroom where illegally taken sex videos were shared. The scandal was discovered when Jung Joon-Young took his phone in for repair, and the chat was discovered.

He received a six-year prison sentence for gang sexual assault and for taking and sharing illegally obtained sex videos. However, his sentence was reduced to five years after he submitted documents expressing his regret. He is expected to be released in late 2025.

Choi Jonghoon

Choi Jonghoon, a former member of F.T.Island, was sentenced to five years in prison for participating in two different gang rapes. However, his sentence was later reduced to two years and six months after reaching a settlement with his victims.

The former idol was released from prison in November 2021. In January 2022, news agency "The Fact" shared footage of Choi attending a church service with his mother. The encounter quickly turned physical. Choi did not answer any questions about returning to the entertainment industry.

Seungri

Seungri participated actively in Jung Jonn-Young's chat rooms, where they shared illegal sex videos and rated the women they had sex with. He was investigated only for his participation in the chat room and reportedly shared only one photo he found online.

Seungri received a three-year sentence for nine charges, including prostitution, prostitution mediation, embezzlement, violating food safety laws, habitual gambling, and violating the foreign exchange law. Netizens were surprised when he was released after serving only 18 months.

Yong Jun-Hyung

Yong Jun-Hyung, a former member of HIGHLIGHT, was implicated in a scandal after admitting to viewing an illegal video shared by Jung Joon-Young. Although he acknowledged speaking inappropriately, he denied sending any illegal content himself.

Jun-Hyung released a new album "Loner" in November 2022 after leaving HIGHLIGHT in 2019. He remained out of the spotlight until then.

Lee Jong-Hyun

Lee Jong-Hyun, a former member of CNBLUE, admitted to participating in discussions about the women he and Jung Joon-Young had slept with, even asking for details about other women. Although he initially denied involvement, he later admitted to viewing the illegally filmed videos.

After departing from CNBLUE and completing his mandatory enlistment, Lee Jong-Hyun has remained out of the spotlight and deleted his social media accounts.

Roy Kim

Roy Kim was accused of sharing and viewing illegal sex cams. However, he was found not to be involved in the group chats that did.

After being cleared of charges, Roy Kim returned to music in 2020. He then enlisted in the Marines for his mandatory military service. In October 2022, he released his latest album.

Eddy Kim

Eddy Kim was charged with circulating obscene material related to Jung Joon-Young's group chat. The prosecution suspended his indictment after it was revealed that he shared a single photo from the internet in a different group chat.

Following the scandal, Eddy Kim refrained from posting on social media for almost two years. He now shares occasional updates.

Similarties between Burning Sun and Black Sun

There are certain parallels between Burning Sun and Black Sun. Let's examine eight parallels between Black Sun Taxi Driver 2 and Burning Sun.

Names and information about the offenders to the victims

There isn't much of a difference between Burning Sun and Black Sun's given names. Just that, even though the characters' surnames or designations differ slightly, they are similar.

For instance, "Mr. Kim" and journalist Kim Young-Min frequently assist harassed women. Ultimately, though, Kim Young-Min and "Mr. Kim" were taken into custody and charged with the abuse. However, Kim Do-Ki also had a comparable experience.

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun-Suk and CEO Yang Mi-Kyung are two more figures that resemble each other. Each of the two CEOs is embroiled in a drug trafficking case. Just their full name and gender are mentioned.

Victor and Seungri are two other significant characters who share similarities. When translated into English, Seungri signifies victory. In Japan, he also goes by the stage name Victory, or V.I.

The club's name, logo, and the traits that separate Black Sunfrom Burning Sun

The club name also bears a striking resemblance. The scandal was dubbed Burning Sun in real life, after the club. Black Sun is the name of the club in Taxi Driver 2.

Both of their logos' details are fairly similar. Both Black Sun and Burning Sun have a circle as their emblem. The distinction is that Burning Sun's circle contains multiple tentacles. On the other hand, the image of a circle inside Black Sun gets smaller and smaller.

Furthermore, Black Sun's bottle procession scene—which is intended to be presented to VVIP guests—is fashioned after Burning Sun. A video of the event was captured and went viral in 2019.

GHB is the medication that is used.

The medication, known as Gamma Hydroxybutyrate, is also the same. The purpose of the drugs was to knock the rape victim out.

GHB consumption in Taxi Driver 2 allows users to unknowingly follow commands from other users. as Kim Do-Ki and the female victims both experienced.

Victor and Seungri are the owners of Black Sun or Burning Sun, respectively.

Victor's character is still another area of similarity. Seungri and Victor share co-ownership of the club.

Despite Seungri's initial denial of the accusations. Yoo Moon-Hyun is regarded as the owner of Black Sun while he is in front of the audience.

The group chat between Victor and Seungri

Victor and Seungri have a group chat, which is another similarity. In one scene, Victor was on a group chat with his friends and had booked a woman.

Victor's friends asked him to send a video through the chat. In contrast, a number of artists are involved in Burning Sun, including Lee Jong-Hyun, an ex-CNBLUE member, Choi Jong-Hoon, an ex-FTISLAND member, and Jung Joon-Young.

Sexual harassment incidents and the sharing of victim videos

A well-known case in Burning Sun involved sexual harassment and the sharing of victim videos. In Gangnam, there were some protestors up until International Women's Day.

While sexual harassment is also one of the primary cases in Black Sun. Through Windy, the actors select the woman they desire. Subsequently, Windy would combine GHB drugs with the victim's alcoholic drink.

Black Sun guards will escort unconscious victims to their purchasers. They are unaware that the influence of GHB is the reason behind their harassment.

Corruption within the police force

An additional instance of Burning Sun is police corruption. It is even possible to bribe certain authorities to enable them to commit crimes.

Police officers Jang Ji-Ho and Jo Min-Gun take bribes from the club while they are in Black Sun. They even managed to obtain a substantial quantity of drugs that had been seized, enabling Black Sun to resell them.

Suspects are punished while the case is being looked into nationally.

Suspects are punished while the case is being looked into nationally.In the end, the suspects in the Black Sun and Burning Sun scandals were found guilty. Even some well-known musicians were subjected to sanctions before being kicked out of the group.

Additionally, the Black Sun and Burning Sun case is being looked into nationally due to multiple police bigwigs' names. In Taxi Driver 2, Police Commissioner Park Hyun-Jo even faced discipline and a demotion from his position.

Commissioner General Min Gap-Ryong declared intentions to launch a national inquiry into the police in the real world. The investigation also looked into drug trafficking and nightclubs.

[📰] [ENTREVISTA | INTERVIEW] P1Harmony 피원하모니

By BA NA NA

October 2020 arrived with one of the most anticipated male debuts in the music industry, P1Harmony 피원하모니, whose performance marked FNC Entertainment’s first boy group four years after SF9.

In BA NA NA we have been able to speak with P1Harmony after their successful debut with DISHARMONY: STAND OUT and the premiere of an apocalyptic film that has shown different facets of its six members. They have told us about their experience preparing for debut, some of their hidden talents, or what it has been like to debut at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do you want to know what they have told us? Keep going BA NA NA!

KEEHO, THEO, JIUNG, INTAK, SOUL, and JONGSEOB are the members of P1Harmony, the new boy group from FNC Entertainment that was performing on October 28, 2020 with their first mini album. However, their music debut with DISHARMONY: STAND OUT did not come alone, and before we were presented with the movie P1H: A New World Begins.

The film came with the boys as the leads, but also with the presence of CNBLUE’s Jung Jin Young and Jung Yong Hwa, AOA’s Seolhyun, Jo Jae Yoon, Choi Yeo Jin, Lee Chae Yoon, and cameos from Jung Hae In and Yoo Jae Suk. It premiered at the beginning of October to let us know the universe of P1Harmony and that they later developed in their debut video clip, SIREN.

Thanks to that we were able to get to know them better and prepare for the beginning of their professional career. In the P1Harmony interview exclusively with BA NA NA they tell us about the process of recording this film, its debut, and its objective. Do not miss it!

We have known your music debut with DISHARMONY: STAND OUT,, but before that we were able to see in you in the film P1H: A New World Begins. How was the experience? Any anecdotes you’d like to share with us? Will we be able to learn more about the concept of the film in your future projects?

THEO: I am more than happy to debut with a film. It was the very first-time filming and acting for all of us. We were really nervous. In the film, the drones represent the disharmony of society which is related to the albums that we’ll show in the future.

SOUL: I wanted to film a movie since way back, so I was very happy to film it. When I first went to the movie set, I was so nervous because it was my first time. At the time of filming, the weather was so cold that I had a lot of hot packs, and by the end of the day, at least three of them were in my pocket.

It’s been four years since we met a new boy group from FNC Entertainment and we’ve known about your debut for a year. How was the debut process? How has it changed your life?

JIUNG: In the debut process, everything was a part of my first experience, so I was very nervous. I was especially nervous when filming, but now that I think about it, I think it was part of the learning process. And in the case of changes in life, as I started working, I felt more responsible. After our profile and videos were released, many people were interested in us and left comments which made me realize that I’ve really become an idol. I felt more responsible.

You all participated in the creation of the album by writing some of the songs. How was it? How did the ideas come up?

INTAK: Not only me, but as well as all membes including JONGSEOB was able to join in writing lyrics for our songs in our firstr album. We were very honored and thankful to our company. When I’m working on writing the lyrics for songs, I tend to focus on the material. For example, in the case of ‘Nemonade,’ I thought of keywords which were related such as lemons, freshness, and square. In the case of ‘Intro: Breakthrough,’ the words were walls, surrounded by and I’ve tried to look for more as I worked on writing the lyrics. I also add on what I have in mind when writing lyrics for the songs.

Any artist can’t forget their debut. What moment do you think you will always remember?

JONGSEOB: I think it was the day of our debut showcase. It was the day when P1Harmony officially had our debut and it was a special day where we were able to showcase different stages including our title track ‘SIREN’ which we worked hard for.

You debuted just a month ago, and there are sttill many ssecrets to discover about each of you. Do you have any special skills? (Cooking, playing an instrument, sports...)

THEO: I can play a little bit of piano and guitar. I did not formally learn it or take lessons, but I was very interested in music since I was young, so I’ve naturally learned it while looking at it. In case of sports, I’ve learned swimming, bowling, and volleyball.

JIUNG: I think it would be cooking. I try to cook when there’s time, but sinnce we are performing these days it is hard to cook. However, I remember that I used to cook and eat a lot before. For musical instruments, I can play a bit of piano and guitar. When it comes to sports, I’m good at Frisbee! I remember getting praised a lot for good throws in the past. (Haha)

2020 has been a year marked by COVID-19 at a global scale. Many artists and musical professionals have not been able to meet with their fans. How have you dealt with it being your debut? Have you been able to reach your fans in another way?

KEEHO: It’s really sad. Performing in front of fans has been my dream and it currently is up to now. However, due to the current situation where it is difficult for us to meet, I try to find alternative ways to communicate with our fans through our SNS, lives, and video call fansigns, and etc.

Let’s talk about the future...what would you say ir you goal as a group and as individuals for each of you? What is your dream?

INTAK: I think our goal as a group is to convey good influence to the world. As an artist who really wants to convey our meaning and message to the world, I hope that people will be able to be influenced positively through our songs and albums. My personal goal is to be a great person who will be remembered in history.

SOUL: Our goal is a group is to look good, but I hope we can work longer than other teams. My personal goal is to win first place in dance battle.

Can you send a message to your fans in Spain?

KEEHO: I wanted to say thank you for supporting us from afar and loving us. We’ll continue to show our best. Please look forward to it. If things get better, we would like to visit Spain and perform in front of you all. We love you.

JONGSEOB: Hi Spanish fans! Thank you for supporting and loving us from afar. We will work hard to show you how we develop so please stay tuned for us. If things get better, we would like to meet you in person and perform for you! Thank you for loving us from Spain and me, JONGSEOB, and P1Harmony loves you too!

N.FLYING'S 'ROOFTOP' WAS K-POP'S SLEEPER HIT OF 2019

HOW AN ONLINE FORUM, AN ANONYMOUS POST, AND WORD OF MOUTH GAVE THIS KOREAN BAND THE HIT THEY’D BEEN WAITING FOR

When did N.Flying feel the success of their sleeper hit, “Rooftop?” “Just now,” main vocalist Hwe Seung says, pointing down at the ground.

Their newfound acclaim brought them halfway around the world to play KCON LA, where Seung Hyub, JaeHyun, Cha Hun, and Hwe Seung are huddled in a makeshift dressing room at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Our interview competes with a chorus of cheers for rookie boy band ATEEZ, who cook kimbap at the #KCONFoodie station a few feet away. Over the booming of the fandemonium, the N.Flying members loudly enunciate their words.

“We just had a meet and greet with our fans right now,” he continues. “Right when ‘Rooftop’ started coming on, the fans started all singing along. And I felt like, ‘Oh, we are receiving so much love right now.’”

It was a long time coming for one of K-pop’s few idol bands — and it all started on SoundCloud.

Back in August 2018, the four-piece’s leader Seung Hyub unwittingly uploaded a sketch called “Rooftop Room” to his profile under the name JDON. The DIY upload was a relatively lo-fi collaboration with Hwe Seung, constructed around trappy percussion and blaring bass. It was well-received by their fandom, N.Fia (a portmanteau of their name and “Utopia”), so the group decided to create an N.Flying version.

The band released “Rooftop” to relatively modest excitement on January 2, 2019. The track did better than usual, reaching No. 643 on Melon’s daily chart before wrapping up music show promotions on February 8. But then something unprecedented happened.

A week later, an anonymous user posted their track to a popular Korean forum. Suddenly, their song took off, entering at No. 97 on Melon’s real-time Top 100. It continued to climb the charts, eventually taking over the local Gaon rankings for a few weeks. They even returned to televised music shows for an encore run.

N.Flying went four years without a music show win, a career-making milestone for K-pop artists. (For context, BTS’s first win in 2015 is seen as the turning point in their record-breaking career.) But it finally happened for the group at The Show on March 5.

The high-flying foursome was up against some of the industry’s biggest contenders: monster rookies (G)I-DLE and former Wanna One member Ha Sung Woon. When the band’s name was announced, Hwe Seung smiled brightly, and Seung Hyub choked up while giving a speech. Cha Hun maintained his cat-like cool, reaching over to console his members. But it was resident goofball JaeHyun who fully let his emotions flow.

Or as he put it: “I was really ugly crying.” (When I tell him I saw the video, he covered his face and jokingly let out a melodramatic “Noooooo!”)

This was a dramatic reversal of fortunes. A mere week before their comeback, their bassist Kwon Kwang Jin — who had been with the group since their Japanese debut in 2013 — abruptly left the lineup amid accusations that he sexually harassed fans. "We ... confirmed the fact of him dating a fan, so we have made the final decision for Kwon Kwang Jin to leave the team,” their company, FNC Entertainment, said in a statement last December, while also denying claims of sexual harassment.

Kwang Jin's departure was yet another setback for the band. N.Flying made their formal debut in Korea in 2015 as a quartet after nearly two years of delays. Initially, leader Seung Hyub was the sole frontman, defining his performance by his fluid transitions between singing and rapping. Cha Hun and Kwang Jin handled backing vocals, with JaeHyun on the drums.

Meanwhile, Hwe Seung almost went down the alluring flower boy path of a traditional idol, competing on the second season of Produce 101 in 2017. Let’s just say his high notes were fodder for instant replays. He didn’t make it to the final lineup that formed the now-defunct Wanna One. But it’s fitting that he wound up in a band the week after the show ended in June — his upper register is capable of a rough intensity that even a rockist could love.

The new maknae’s (youngest member) 2017 entry into the group didn’t only change the dynamics of their sound — it also marked their return from a lengthy hiatus. On a March 2019 episode of the Korean music program Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook, Seung Hyub revealed that they had taken a break to find their identity as a group. “But we are still not quite sure what our color is now,” he said at the time.

Now, N.Flying has a bit more breathing room to explore their sound on their own terms. A company-created track couldn’t break them into the Korean market, so it's poetic that the newly minted hitmakers’ breakthrough was their first-ever self-composed song. Seung Hyub's own vision brought them here, and it’s a cycle that will continue: He just produced the group’s latest album, YAHO.

Released as part of the Fly High Project #2, “Rooftop” is anchored by a relaxed dembow beat. The reggae-infused track presented a softer take on their rap-rock sound, while the lyrics painted a vivid vignette centered on star-crossed lovers — which resonated with Korea’s general public.

The group traverses an aural expanse of genre classifications that are in the process of breaking down. K-pop’s genre agnosticism is well-documented; it’s common for idol groups to cycle through a flurry of “concepts.” In that sense, N.Flying is true to the industry.

“I don’t think our approach is any different from any other artist in K-pop,” says guitarist Cha Hun, who cites Slash from Guns N' Roses and Creed as his favorite artists. “The only thing that really sets us apart is that our weapon of choice is that we’re a band. We try to think about, ‘How can we as a band reach our fans in the appropriate way?’”

But their ability to play instruments has drastically widened the spectrum of genres at their disposal, and their versatility is underscored by the deep cuts. The opening riff on “Just One Day” closely resembles The Smashing Pumpkins’ ’90s-alt anthem “Today” — until the track abruptly veers into a pastiche of 2000s-era pop-punk. “Lupin” is a much harder-hitting blend of J-pop and metal, refracted through dubstep wubs. Then songs like “Let Me Show You” take after The Lumineers’ style of stomp-rock with a poppified blues twist.

Still, their particular blend of rap and rock feels organic to them. Seung Hyub clarifies that the band doesn’t exactly discuss how they approach their mishmash of genres. “We basically think about what can we do as a group,” he tells MTV News. “It just comes naturally when we form those kinds of mixes.”

But genre fusions aren’t the only type of hybridization that’s defined their career. Their status as a rock band complicates their relationship to the typical idol formula.

In a visual-oriented music industry that revolves around intense choreography, N.Flying’s relatively static blocking makes them stand out. Granted, there are idol-worthy elements to their stage presence. Just watch a stage mix of “Rooftop,” and you can tell the members have clearly rehearsed that A Night at the Roxburyrealness. Not only that, but they put their own twist on K-pop fandom norms. Thanks to “Hot Potato,” you could say N.Fia find light sticks a-peeling, bringing actual potatoes (on sticks) to the band's promotions. Their status as a rock band reshapes the standards of an idol.

While the Jonas Brothers were breaking the barrier for boy band classification in the aughts, Korea simultaneously forged its own take on the idol band. N.Flying’s successful senior labelmate FTISLAND is billed as the first of their kind: a hybrid of gorgeous, flower-boy imagery and rock-leaning tracks that added a new layer to the K-pop landscape in 2007. CNBLUE carried that torch in 2010, achieving commercial success right out the gate with their Korean debut, “I’m a Loner.”

Which brings us to the latest set of bands on the K-pop scene, fronted by the likes of N.Flying and DAY6. While the latter has a more complicated relationship with boy band status, N.Flying openly embraces the idol label. “We feel like we’re an idol band,” Seung Hyub says. “We feel like we are [singers who can be role models] to everyone, whether it’s as an idol or as a band.”

When they took to the KCON LA stage, a sea of wrist-lights beamed a blue glow back at them. A gaggle of N.Fia were caught on camera holding up potatoes-on-sticks and N.Flying signs — including two posters shouting out 2Idiots, JaeHyun and Cha Hun’s YouTube channel. ("It was a platform where we could shorten the distance between us and our fans," the drummer says.) As Seung Hyub played a keyboard prelude to their career-making anthem, the 22,000-seat arena erupted in cheers.

"The thing that’s most visible is we have a lot more fans," the leader says. "There are so many more, so when we perform, we receive a lot more energy, and we’re able to give back a lot more as well."

My Fangirl Life

I think being a fangirl was one of my talent hahaha because I have been able to withstand anything. I have been a self proclaimed ACTIVE fangirl since 2009 it has been over a decade so I though maybe I can list all the artist that I have supported throughout the years (I am a fan of a lot but I will only list those artist that I have an active participation to): 1. AJ Perez (PH : 2009) - as far as I can remember he is the one whom I really thought of liking, because of his handsome face and acting who will not like him. So imagine my reaction when I heard he passed away, I am clearly shocked as when I woke up my cousins told me about it with the phrase 'di ba siya yung gusto mo'. After that I remember following all the news and even her gf then on any updates. I wanted to visit his funeral that time but I can't coz my parents won't allow me. Fun fact : I never stopped following AJ's twitter until now. 2. Melai and Jason Francisco (PH : 2009) - They are the reason I was hooked with Pinoy Big Brother before. Their uncanny lovestory made my heart giddy back then. I remember creating a PEX (Pinoy Exchange) account just to chat with my fellow fans, even though I am just in high school. 3. Ivan Dorschner and Fritzie Bercede (PH : 2010) - Just like MelAson, this hype was caused by PBB as I am already in PEX looking for this threads are easy already. I made a lot of things for them and I even sew their couple name (VanZie) 4. Mario Maurer and Baifern Pimchanok (TH : 2010) - As I can say the first foreign act I put as my profile picture. I am already unto KDrama that time but they just passed by. This love team made me feel happiness. They reason why I knew them because my 4th year High School adviser made us watch Crazy Little Thing Called love and just like that I was hooked. Even time have passed I still love and follow them on their sns. And that one time they visited Manila I waited for hours just so I can see them upclose (I am in the barricade). Especially now they will be back together made me happier and excited. 5. Jhake Vargas and Bea Binene (PH : 2011) - One of the most unforgettable artist for me. As I always say , I may not be able to stay but they always have a special part in my heart. Because of them FIRST TIME in my life I am not treated just a fan but also a friend. The feeling for the first time the artist knows ypu in person and never forget you. I am thankful for them as this was the time I was full on fangirl. I learn to go out because of tapings and mallshows. I learn how to organize events as I was an active part of the fanbase. I also knew the local stations here how they operate a show and treat artist. These two brought happiness toy freshman years and I am grateful for them, I am always here watching them grow and I was happy and proud. 6. Demi Lovato (US : 2011) - This was the time I was so into the Disney shows and this girl caught my attention because of her vocal prowess and her chemistry with Sterling Knight made me swoon. Because of her I experienced my first ever concert. My active days with her was short but I never stop looking forward to her works and continue to listen to her songs. 7. Ella Cruz (PH : 2012) - Liking her came as a surprise, to be honest at first I was just curious to see her because of Aryana (drama) that I enjoyed. So I tag along with my friends and met her after that when she welcomed us with open arms. We decided we should support her as she is an amazing actress and a humble person. I am proud to say that I saw her when she was still a teenager and saw her grow into this wonderful woman she is today. Until now I am still part of Ellamazing and do not regret every second of it. Because her and her family didn't just treat us as fans but also as a friend and family. She even is very supportive of my K(everything) addiction. What more can I ask for an artist, right? 8. Girls Generation (KR : 2012) - After the constant push of my friend to watch their performances and even reality show, I finally gave in to the trap. I think I made a decision after I watched Hush Hush by Taeyeon. I said this group has talent and they are very new to me. My active days for them might be a brief moment but they are still a very dear to my heart and still follow their releases. I even made effort to see Sooyoung (my bias) when I visited Korea last year. They are still I can proudly say, my best girl group. 9. Henry (KR : 2013) - This is the first guy I called ny husband, because I was into support ships or girls this is a step up. Because of the bubble of SM Family, I got to know Super Junior but instead of liking the principal members this guy caught my attention. Because he can speak so many language, can play different instruments, can sing and dance at the same time, a composer, a cook, an actor, a comedian and a sweetheart. I have never seen a guy like that before that is why I was head over heels for him. Right now, I still follow his activities and even watched his vlogs. I may just be a quiet supporter but I still cherish this man. I can and will never forget. 10. BTS (KR : 2014) - It is already very visible that I really like BTS. I joined a lot of fanclub activities even hosted and volunteer on events. More over out of all of the artist I liked they are the longest I have been very active to, for foreign artist. But this is the group I am the most dedicated to. And to be honest, I already gave myself the ultimatum that they will be the last artist I will support like this, and will not add anymore because when the time comes I already want to focus on myself. This group for me is one for the books. These other artists below are they artist I liked in between of the 10 at the top : - Seichi and Pamu (PH) - Jonas Brothers (US) - Debby Ryan and Cole Sprouse (US) - 2NE1 (KR) - 2PM (KR) - CNBLUE (KR) - BAP (KR) - B1A4 (KR) - BTOB (KR) - EXO (KR) - SISTAR (KR) - TroubleMaker (KR) - Kim Bum and Kim Seo Eun (KR) - Jeong Eun Ji and Seo In Guk (KR) - Park Shin Hye and Yoon Shi Yoon (KR) - Kim Yoo Jung and Park Bogum (KR) - Jung Krystal and Kang Minhyuk (KR) - Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk (KR) - Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Sik (KR) - Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won (KR) Hope you can try and check out the artist I put up, and give them a chance. Share me your stories if you also supported one of them.

biggest fan pt.3//kang yeosang

warnings: mild human captivity and swearing

once again, this story is not meant to romanticize sasaengs and kidnapping and make sasaengs look good and show a romantic relationship so please don’t think that this is what this story is about. 

pairing: sasaeng!yeosang and idol!reader (non-romantic)

word count: 3,508

enjoy homies!!

this chapter is more mild so here’s a gif

“So let me get this straight, Ms. Son,” the CEO of your company said from one end of the long table. 

“You’ve been sitting with this information for the past month and you didn’t say anything? Not even when it was announced that she was missing?” he said angrily. Your psychiatrist looked down at her hands that were resting on her lap before looking back up to your CEO at the other end of the table. 

“Yes,” she nodded. Your CEO ran his hand down his face and sighed.

“Excuse me,” a voice said. Your psychiatrist looked at the faces seated at the table until she noticed a hand waving to get her attention. 

“Before I say what I really want to say, I just want to tell you again that my name is Minami and I’m the closest to (Y/N) out of everyone here.” Minami said. Your psychiatrist nodded and smiled weakly. 

“(Y/N) talked about you a lot in our sessions and she showed me a lot of photos of the two of you so I do know who you are. But go ahead, say what you need to say,” Ms. Son urged. 

“Why did you wait so long to tell us this? It’s been so hard dealing with (Y/N)’s disappearance. And the police...they don’t even know where to start since there were no security cameras to catch her or anyone else and tell us where she could have gone or could be.” Minami said, tears filling her eyes. 

“I’m grateful that you told us this because it’s better to know something like this later than never but...why did you wait so long?” Minami sobbed. Minhee, who was sitting next to her, rubbed her back soothingly as she sobbed. 

“Please believe me when I say that I am terribly sorry that I waited so long to tell you guys.” Ms. Son started. “I’m on my vacation week this week and I was at home flipping through channels when I saw a show hosted by Heechul from Super Junior and Jonghyun from CNBlue about sasaengs and the effects of their behaviors on their idols. I decided not to the channel because I knew that (Y/N) was seeing me because of her anxiety which was caused by a sasaeng incident. About halfway into the episode, they mentioned (Y/N)’s case and that the police thought that (Y/N)’s disappearance was sasaeng related.” Ms Son paused.

“No one talked to me about (Y/N)’s disappearance other than to tell me that she had gone missing so I didn’t know the circumstances. So when I heard the statement, it made a lot of sense to me so I decided to meet with you to see what we could do in order to help find (Y/N).” your psychiatrist said. Your CEO nodded, satisfied with her response. He leaned back in his chair. 

“So to recap, you said that (Y/N)’s captor’s name is Kang Yeosang?” he asked. 

“Yes. (Y/N) was able to find his profiles on several social media platforms and showed me a couple of his photos.” your Ms. Son said. “I found them on my own and I have some photos of him that I was able to screenshot on my phone.” she said, pulling out her phone and entering the password. 

“Here, pass this around.” she said as she passed the phone to your manager, Jaehyo. 

“Wasn’t he at the fansign when (Y/N) passed out?” Jaehyo asked while passing the phone to Minami. She looked at the phone for a second and gasped before passing it to the member next to her. Minami nodded. “That was him. She started breathing really heavily when he sat down in front of her and she passed out not too long after,” she said.

As the phone was passed around the room and made it back to your psychiatrist, she slid her phone back into her purse and placed her hands on the table, glancing at the people sitting around the table. 

“So what do we do now?” asked Ms. Son.

--

After that day with Yeosang, Yeosang gave you a lot more freedom. Of course he didn’t let you out of the apartment but he wasn’t as careful with you. He let you make your own food since you had lost a lot of weight since he kidnapped you and he let you have your phone and make secret social media accounts so you could keep up with celebrity news and news surrounding your group. Once again, you weren’t allowed to interact with fans or share any information with anyone or text or call anyone but you were grateful for the freedom. 

Yeosang wasn’t as touchy with you and he didn’t interact with you as much. He spent a lot of time in the other room in his apartment doing God-knows-what. 

--

Yeosang sat in the computer chair in the other room, deep in thought. 

After that day, Yeosang knew that he had to let you go. He wasn’t as good for you as he though that he was; he was hurting you, both physically and emotionally and he saw that the day he almost did the unthinkable. Your tears running down your face and and the way your breathing increased and how panicked you became when his hand touched your waist and the way you writhed against him trying to get him off of you...he never wanted to do that to you again.

He wanted to let you go but the only problem was, how would he be able to do it without the police knowing or without you saying anything? He knew that what he was doing was wrong but didn’t want to face punishment for his actions. 

He let his obsession get too far. 

He went too far. 

He’s sick. 

Very sick. 

But he needs to do something quickly before things get bad again. 

--

You watched on Yeosang’s television as your group’s first subunit Paradigm-M(irae) performed their debut song “Ahead”.

A smile spread across your face as you heard the voices of the youngest members of your group sing over the trap music-sounding instrumental. You nodded along to the beat and tried your best to copy the dance movements that you had seen months ago when you watched the girls practice. 

Chaemi rapped powerfully as she moved her arms in a whacking-style fashion. That part she had practiced for a while and you were happy to see that she had finally nailed it. 

Yuki, your group’s youngest Japanese member, seemed to flourish on the stage. Her high voice danced over the other girls’ voices in the chorus. You always admired her ability to sing so powerfully despite being so young. 

Finally, the group’s only mixed-race (Korean-African American) member, Natalia, began her English rap as the other girls began to surround her and move in the same direction, their expressions serious. 

Her long, tan fingers pulled her mic up to her mouth as she began:

“You said you just wanna talk, but I don’t trust that. 

You think if you say the right words, I’ll come right back.

You’re wrong though; I’ve finally started to hate you; 

I bet you thought I would follow you around and chase you. 

When you ended things with me, I cried in my bed, 

But now I’m deleting your number, moving ahead.”

She crossed her arms and and she and the rest of the group lifted their chins to the final beat of the song.

You smiled in a motherly-like fashion and clasped your hands together. 

“They did a really good job,” Yeosang said from behind you. 

“Yeah,” you nodded, your smile falling slightly.

“Did they debut because of your...residency or was it already planned?” Yeosang said. You rolled your eyes at his use of the word residency but answered his question.  

“It was already planned. They were set to debut around this time anyways.” you said, leaning back into the couch. Yeosang hummed in response.

“I was gonna order something to eat since I haven’t had any takeout in a while,” Yeosang started. “Did you want anything?” he asked. 

“You would be able to eat all of the takeout you wanted if I wasn’t here,” you mumbled.

“What did you say?” Yeosang asked. 

“Can we get some kimchi and some japchae?” you asked. 

“Sure,” he said, pulling out his phone so that he could order your food. 

This was the first time you had ever been awake to see him order takeout since you’ve been here. You weighed your options. Should you: 

a. snatch the phone from him, run into a room, lock it, and call the police

b. wait until the delivery person comes to deliver the food and try to run out of the door or alert them of your presence

c. wait for a better time to try to escape, or 

d. continue to stay here and hope that someone figures out where you are (which seems less likely as time goes on) 

As you thought through your options, Yeosang hung up the phone, immediately cancelling option A. You still have B, C, and D, you said to yourself. 

“The food should be here in thirty minutes,” Yeosang said, you nodded in response. You might be able to do option B. 

“I know what you’re thinking,” Yeosang said as he sat down on the opposite end of the couch, watching another group perform.   

“What am I thinking?” you asked, a slight shakiness to your voice. He laughed slightly. 

“Now I really know what you’re thinking,” he said. 

“What am I thinking?” you asked, your voice sounding stronger than earlier. He turned to look at you on your end of the couch before pulling his knees into his chest. 

“You’re planning on leaving me,” he said. You laughed nervously. Shit, how did he know, you asked yourself.

“I’m not,” you said, weakly. 

“Mm, I think you are,” he said. “It’s understandable, you’ve been here for a while. You haven’t seen any of your loved ones in a long time.”

You stayed silent. 

“That’s why I wanted to talk to you over dinner,” he said, as he turned back to face the television. 

“About what?” you asked, your eyebrows furrowing in confusion. 

“We’ll talk about it over dinner,” he said simply. 

“Fine,” you said, copying his tone. 

“You do know that you’re going to be in one of the rooms when the delivery person comes, right?” he asked while still staring at the tv. You turned to look at him in shock.

“Why are you surprised? I told you I know what you’re thinking,” he said. He moved closer to you on the couch and leaned over to whisper in your ear, causing you to stiffen.

“I. Don’t. Trust. You.” he said before moving back to his side of the couch. He pulled out his phone to check the time. “The food will be here in fifteen minutes,” he said. “If I were you, I’d go to the back and get comfortable.” 

“You don’t trust me? I’m not the one who has some unhealthy obsession with you; I didn’t kidnap you; I’m not holding you hostage; I’m not the one who keeps trying to force some kind of relationship with you that, despite clear signs, isn’t going to and will never happen; I’m not the one touching you and making advances towards you.” you ranted as you walked to the room. Yeosang got up to follow you. 

“What did you say?” he asked. You stopped as soon as you walked through the doorway and turned to face him. 

“And I didn’t fucking try to force myself on you.” you seethed before slamming the bedroom door and locking it. 

“(Y/N), open the door,” he said while jiggling the doorknob, trying to open the door.

“I’ll leave when the food comes so we can talk,” you said through the door. 

“(Y/N),” he pleaded. 

“I’ll leave when the food comes,” you said louder as you walked over to the bed to sit on the edge. You heard a sliding noise coming from the other side of the door and heard a slight grunt and a thump. 

“What are you doing?” you asked.

“I’m sitting by the door,” he said, as he leaned his head against the wooden door that separated you. 

“Okay,” you said. 

The two of you stayed that way for a while until you heard the doorbell. You heard the floorboards creek as Yeosang pulled himself to his feet. “Could you please, please, stay here for another 5 minutes?” He asked from behind the door. 

You continued to weigh your options. You sighed. “I’ll stay,” you said.

“Thank you. I promise you won’t regret this,” Yeosang said. 

--

The two of you were seated at Yeosang’s table, a container of japchae in front of you, a container of black bean noodles in front of him, and a bowl of kimchi that sat between the both of you. You immediately dug into your noodles as Yeosang picked at his noodles with his chopsticks. 

“You aren’t eating anything so I guess that what you wanted to talk about is serious.” you said as you laid your chopsticks across your container. “What did you want to talk about, Yeosang?” you asked. Yeosang put his chopsticks down and looked at you. 

“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking ever since...the incident,” he started. “And I know how hard this is for you and how emotionally draining this entire experience has been. I didn’t think about how you would feel at all, I only thought about myself and what I wanted.” he sighed. 

“I was very selfish. I knew that your hiatus was a mental break but I didn’t know that I had caused it. You’re right, I do have an unhealthy obsession with you and I let it go too far. Way too far. So before I say what I’m about to say, I want to apologize to you for everything. I’ve taken you away from everything that you’ve loved and cherished. Even before I kidnapped you, I ruined your life.” he said while looking at you. You nodded. 

“I accept your apology. I’ll have a hard time forgiving you for this. It may take some years, maybe a couple decades, but there’s a possibility that it’ll happen.” you said. “So where are you going with this?” you asked him. Yeosang looked at his lap and let out a shaky breath. 

“I,” he started before stopping, wringing his hands under the table. 

“You what?” you asked.

“I want to, um,” he started again, sighing nervously. 

“You want to do wh-”

“I want to let you go!” he yelled. Your eyes widened. 

“This place is bad for you, I’m bad for you. I don’t want you to be here anymore. I don’t want to hurt you anymore, (Y/N).” he said softly. He ran his hands through his dark brown hair and put his face in his hands. 

“You do know I’m going to have you put in jail, right?” you asked. “Like if you aren’t committed to a hospital or a rehab, you’ll probably be in jail.” He gave a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

“I figured as much,” he said. 

“So how are we going to do this? Do you want to be caught right away or did you want some time to prepare yourself or..” you asked. 

“Let me eat my noodles and we can talk about this,” he said.

“Fair enough.”

--

The police detective raised the phone to her ear and listened as the phone rang. Finally, the person on the other line answered. A gravelly ‘hello’ was heard by the officer. 

“Sorry, I’m calling at such a late time, Mr. Kim,” she apologized. 

“Who is this?” Jaehyo, your manager, asked. 

“This is Detective Lim from the Guro Police station,” she said. Detective Lim heard what sounded like fabric moving against fabric as Jaehyo moved to sit up on the couch in your group’s dorm that he had been sleeping on since your disappearance. 

“Ah Detective Lim. What’s wrong?” Jaehyo asked. Jaehyo heard the floorboards near the bedrooms creaking and watched as a sleepy, purple-haired Chaemi and an equally sleepy, maroon-haired Minami shuffled into the living room. “What’s happening?” Chaemi mouthed to Jaehyo. Jaehyo shrugged in response. 

Minami sat down next to Jaehyo and tried to listen to what Detective Lim was saying as Chaemi sat on Jaehyo’s other side. 

“Mr. Kim, I have some news,” Detective Lim said. “Are you ready?” she asked. 

“I have some people here with me who are still sleeping and I want them to be able to hear, so give me a second to gather everyone,” he said. 

“Of course,” the detective responded. Jaehyo turned to the girls sitting next to him. 

“Go get the rest of the girls,” he whispered. The two girls scrambled to wake up the rest of their members. He heard “Wake up, the police department has news!” coming from different rooms and feet running throughout the dorm. Suddenly, ten girls stood in the living room with droopy eyes and bed hair. Jaehyo waved them over to sit around him.

After a couple of seconds of ten sleepy girls trying to figure out where to sit, Jaehyo tapped the speaker button on his phone. 

“We’re ready now,” Jaehyo said. 

“We have some information regarding Kang Yeosang,” she said before pausing. 

“Mr. Kang has a long history of visiting psychiatrists and psychologists, he was in and out of mental hospitals for years for obsessive tendencies, psychosis, suicidal thoughts and attempts, and self injury until about a year and a few months ago.” she hummed slightly before starting again. 

“Mr. Kang has been on psychotropic medications in the past and he has several overdue medications according to our interviews with several pharmacies. According to his college attendance records, he hasn’t attended school in months nor has he been seen by his classmates in about two months, even when they invite him out. 

“According to credit card records, he has ordered Korean take-out. You might be wondering why this matters and I’ll tell you. He ordered two noodle dishes and kimchi. ‘Maybe he just wants to have two meals,’ you might be thinking. ‘Maybe he just wants to stock up.’ I’ll tell you why that’s worrying. He ordered two large noodle dishes. Sizes that, according to the restaurant’s website, can feed a single person for two days. And to order two of those? That’s worrying.” 

“(Y/N) likes noodle dishes, especially japchae,” Minami said. 

“I’m getting there.” the detective said. “According to his hospital records, his stomach is unable to digest beef. He cannot eat it. The beef will just sit and rot in his stomach and he’ll either need to have his stomach pumped or if it’s especially bad, he’ll need surgery. And do you know what he ordered?” the detective asked. 

“Japchae,” everyone said. 

“Japchae and black bean noodles,” the detective responded. 

“According to (Y/N)’s ‘Get to Know You’ questionnaire that Ms. Son, her psychiatrist, had her to answer, a lot of (Y/N)’s favorite foods are noodle dishes, especially, as someone on your end said, jopchae,” Detective Lim said. 

“You guys might be wondering where this leads us. Since we’ve come across this information, we at the police department have been working towards gaining a search warrant to enter Mr. Kang’s apartment. We are sure that with the amount of evidence that we have stacked against him, we will get the search warrant later today and we will be able to enter his home as soon as possible where we will hopefully find (Y/N) or learn her whereabouts.” Detective Lim finished. 

“So what do you need us to do?” Jaehyo asked. 

“Please make sure that this information does not get out. You cannot, under any circumstances, tell any of your friends, co-workers, label-mates, idol crushes, news outlets, family members, anyone. You may only tell the CEO of your company and (Y/N)’s family but please make sure that they know the same conditions.” 

“We swear on our life,” Jaehyo said, looking pointedly at every girl that sat in the room. They nodded fiercely. 

“Get him,” Jaehyo said. 

“We will, Mr. Kim.” the detective stated firmly. “We will let you know as soon as the warrant is approved,” she said. 

“Okay. Thank you for giving us information,” Jaehyo said. 

“Have a good rest of your day, Mr. Kim. You too, ladies,” Detective Lim said.

“Thank you and same to you, Detective Lim,” Jaehyo said before hanging up. He turned to the girls sitting around him. 

“I don’t want to get your hopes up at all but it seems like this entire ordeal will end soon, either positively or negatively. Please go to sleep. Mirae team, you have a performance in a few hours and a variety show appearance not too long after. Form team, you’ll be going with me if something comes up with (Y/N).” he said.

“Let’s rest easily, girls. We’ll have closure in a short while.” Jaehyo said.

Day 6 - 30 Interesting Facts About Me

Absolutely not sure if it will be interesting

Re-write this post because I accidentally deleted my draft when I already write 25 facts -___-

Having self-esteem problems and undergo psychological treatment for the past 6 months. Ternyata menjalani terapi psikologis itu semenantang ini, tapi layak untuk dilakukan karena jadi lebih tergambar apa yang menyebabkan kondisi saat ini. Jadi tau juga bagaimana sudut pandang klien saat berhadapan dengan psikolog.

A master student in clinical child psychology. Kata orang, anak psikologi itu kuliah sambil berobat jalan. Nah, saya ambil S2 karena butuh pengobatan lebih lanjut :)

Blood type: AB. Imagine how weird I am, and here I wrote the list for you.

Sagittarius ♐

Shio 🐕

A first born. Beda 1 tahun 1 bulan 1 hari sama adik pertama dan beda 6 tahun sama adik kedua.

Having an Itachi-Sasuke relationship with my mother.

Anaknya ayah-ibu yang paling cantik. Ya iya lah karena yang lain laki-laki.

A Potterhead since 1st grade in elementary. Used to write a list of all characters name and list of all the spells mentioned in the book.

Harry Potter is the reason why I became a book worm. I read it in my 3rd grade (before I only watch the movies), and suddenly I have the unending thirst for books.

Have a strange ritual to read Harry Potter every Ramadhan.

Loves fantasy but a hopeless romantic. Like how I love Harry Potter but still amazed with Twilight. Read a lot of romance.

A Toonderella. To read Webtoon every 10 PM is a must.

Favorite color is blue. Can you count how many things I have in the blue color?

Obsessed with organizing things, like books, furniture, first aid box, clothes, photograph, folders, etc.

is my lucky number.

Became an active K-Pop fan since the beginning of 2018. Dulu cuma suka CNBlue tapi cuma nonton sesekali. A multifandom fan (CNBlue, Super Junior, Bigbang, Shinee, EXO, Winner).

Create a Tumblr account for the sake of stalking.

My facebook profile picture is the same picture I used when I first created the account.

My mother created my facebook account. When my friend’s mother asked their son/daughter to create one for them, mine is the opposite.

Tipe kubangan, bukan tipe sumur. Tipe yang suka/bisa banyak hal tapi tidak mendalam. Makanya kalau suka sesuatu nggak pernah fanatik, dan kalau bisa sesuatu nggak pernah jago-jago amat.

Loves bear. Teddy bear. Grizzly bear. Panda bear. Polar bear.

Likes to write things in rhyme.

Have a special pouch for everything in my bag.

Spend ages to decide on something. Sekalinya impulsif dalam mengambil keputusan pasti menyesal.

Inattention. Suka gampang teralih konsentrasinya ketika lagi ngerjain sesuatu.

A so-called writer. Penulis buku Lekat (2018) tapi sampai sekarang belum pernah berkarya lagi.
