His honey-like voice 

His gentleness 

His improvement since his debut

His kind words to carats

He’s a full on dork

Seriously the most flawless person to walk the earth

The meme-est person

“Drink water not alcohol” 

*plays guitar four feet off the ground* 

His beautiful song about chocolate

That one time he recited the pledge of allegiance to show off his english 

His emo phase before debut

He totally had a tumblr at one point

Probably still has one and stalks us all (heyo bud)

“Steak just beef in general”

He’s dancing

And how much his dancing has improved over the years

He use to kinda dance like a chicken but I loved that about him

Is literally so relatable 

So down to earth for someone to famous 

Forever thankful of everything 

So mature yet so not at the same time and I love it 

The iconic ping pong vlive 

I know I’ve already said this but guys he literally has a galaxy in his eyes 

His cross earring (which he doesn’t wear anymore yikes)

But also his new piercing 

His ability to turn any of my bad days into good days just by smiling

“Sunday morning rain is falling”

Along with that his alarm clock version I would totally use that

His guitar playing skills like for real such talent said this before but appreciate his skills!!!1!!1

The fact that he came to Korea with little knowledge of the language and still made it fantastically 

He’s literally the king of poetry I will go down with this statement 

He’s totally the normal one what 

He can always manage to give me second hand embarrassment somehow 

Probably invented English 

“Mingyu makes my ova-” “NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo” 

That acoustic version of aju nice breath if you agree 

The totally burnt out “Jisoos Christ”

That one predebut time where they danced all over him and the poor boy stood there awkward 

Yet again highlighting how awkward this boy is 

The constant “I came to korea for this?” Face 

How cute he looks when he’s sleepy 

And when he’s bare faced it makes my heart soar 

Did I mention how soft he is he’s literally the softest human 

His love for Gabe Bondoc 

He’s just grown so much since we’ve first met him all those years ago 

And I love him for it. Happy birthday Joshua Hong!! 

[lightskinvibe]

I know my theory is wayyyyy off but...

What if GOT7 dedicated the whole Flight Log Trilogy to us? To tell us who might be going through a rough time and just needed to learn to let go and be free? THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SEC Now I really wanted to make this about Jinyoung but I got insecure about it cause I don't want it to seem like I'm putting Jinyoung on a level above GOT6 cause I mean-GOODNESS THEY REALLY NEED TO HAJIMA AND REST LIKE HAPPY GOT7= HAPPY AHGASE- but I also thought of this too. I have lots of theories on it so lemme know if you wanna hear my others. Anyhow, GOT7 constantly tells us how much they appreciate us. Mark said as long as they have their fans, they don't care about the fact that their songs don't sell that well. These 7 sweethearts would do anything for us fans which really touches my heart. (Billions of people who you don't know, billions of faces and you take the time to entertain them without even knowing how they'll react to what you work so hard to prepare. People really underestimate the pressures of being an idol.) And all of the songs have several meanings. Jinyoung has said Fly is a song about youth. I'm thinking Jinyoung is supposed to represent ahgase. But in the video, the time on Jackson's camera stops as if to tell us to stop thinking then and after and just focus on now. Fly m/v is about us being happy, free "Flying". They want us to let go of our worries and let us know that they're here for us. A few lines that make me think this way ( These lyrics are from the mv subs. I don't speak Korean so don't come for me if it's inaccurate, though I'm assuming these are translations by professionals so...): Jackson: " Are you happy? I'm happy yeah."- Jackson's always telling us to be healthy and happy and that he's good as long as we're good. Such an angel 😩💚 "Every morning I wake up feels like a dream"- These guys are living their dreams. This was Jackson's dream and he's living it. "Today, like always my day starts with you."- They wake up and slide right into schedules, doing things to make us happy. WowSoAmazing7 *No sarcasm intended* BamBam: "Do you sleep well at night? Sometimes I wake up because I can't believe it's true."- Bammie almost didn't debut, which we all know was cause of how young he appeared. (I feel like if he was a maknae who didn't look like a maknae like Yugyeom, he would've debuted without doubt. But my baby proved JYP wrong and y'all can sleep on him all you want but that little boy is a man now, just so you know. It's totally fine if you don't though cause more for me *Thug life shades fall on* "GET REKT") But he did and if I were an idol, every second I'd be in shock and disbelief. Like I really am making my dreams come true. I can only imagine getting to be like that someday... I feel like BamBam thinks that way, as do the others. Dream7 "You know what it means, feeling scared sometimes, I run without looking back and here I am again in your arms."- Every comeback, every hairstyle, almost every word, almost every move is a show for idols. Let them change their hair color, wear a little more makeup, maybe sing instead of rap or vice versa, maybe decide to brush their teeth while headed to their plane, and we're all over them shooting opinions, taking pictures, making posts, etc. It's intimidating to know that, but they still gotta move quick, so they just have to run without looking back. You can't hesitate. And BamBam reads our comments and I'm not sure how or why, but there are antis out there ( I don't get why anyone has anti-fans. Like if you don't like them, fine. Mind your damn business outside the fandom cause at the end of the day, they're the idol and not you *Thug life shades* *CHUCHUCHUCHUUUU*) and it's scary to see how every move you make is received. But these boys love us so much that they might find comfort when we receive it well and love them regardless cause they're so pure and care about us so much. GenuineSweetheart7 Mark: " Though are love is ordinary, the value is immeasurable ( You hear me?)"- I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I've been through the Justin Beiber phase and Drake, Gabe Bondoc and Bryson Tiller are all my husbands, but I've never been a fan for anything as much as I have been a fan for GOT7. Never have I wanted to go to a concert, never have I wanted to meet anyone as bad as I wanna meet these boys. I'm about to go into college and need to save my money, but I just wanna buy an Aghabong so bad 😖. I'm trying to become fluent in French cause I'm only as far as highschool AP French, but I'm learning Korean because I want to talk to them all comfortably one day, without a translator or without them having to switch into a tongue that isn't their mother tongue. One of the reasons I'm their fan is because of how they treat their fans. From the videos I've seen, fanmeets are just like restricted hang outs. They look so chill, JB in his little singing trance, Jinyoung and Yugyeom being Tom and Jerry, etc. I love that about them. They love us and treat us just like any person they love, but the value of their love is immeasurable. Basically, Mark just told us that they love us lots ( AHHHHH 💚) Charming7 Yugyeom: " Don't know what's at the end until we get there so don't let go,hold on tight." I know these lyrics come in the in-between time when we're all still shook by the foot work and pace of music and dancing changing and we're all anticipating the shoulder move ( 🤤I love Dancing7) but these are my second favorite lyrics. Once again, every move an idol makes is a question that you'll never know the answer to beforehand. Like falling in love. No clue what'll happen, or what's at the end, but Yugyeom, the fearless and carefree maknae is going for it anyway so just stick with him. (Which we'll gladly do because everything they do is just great. I even loved Stop Stop It era like I was obsessed for a week, looking at every video of them performing it along with Magnetic and Gimme Gimme. They cringe at it so hard, but they must not know that their looks make anything work. Even baggy overalls and salon mishaps.) Visual7 I feel like this is getting pretty long, but I have theories on the other mv's and short films too. I love these guys and I love everything they do. I became ahgase like in March and literally everything is perfect. Perfect7. I'm glad I found Sunshine7 cause I really needed a light in my tunnel.

세븐틴 (Seventeen)

Hello, my lovely readers! Welcome back to Kpop Trash. For this post, like I stated in the previous post, I will be talking about Seventeen members. I had said that because there were so many of them, it would have been too much information for the previous blog post. Let's begin. Recall that there are 13 members of Seventeen: S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino. I'm going to throw out some fun facts about them. First up and the oldest is, S.Coups. He trained in Pledis for 6 years. He was supposed to be a part of NU’EST. He was preparing to be in a 5-member group called Tempest before the group was disbanded to merge into what is now Seventeen. He hates lemons. He has been practicing Taekwondo for 7 years. He is a black belt. He is considered the dad of the group because he’s the oldest and because he has the most experience. When he plays video games, he can be very aggressive. He was the one who came up with his stage name. The S stands for “Seventeen” and “Seungcheol”, and the Coups stands for “big success”. His real name means “Winning (Seung) Fairly (Cheol)”. He puts on a strong front because he hates showing off his weak side. Truthfully, he is very fragile inside. His nickname “Beagle King” comes from him being stronger than his friends and his hyungs. He is very strict with his other members. He says he tries to be a role model for all of the other trainees. He originally was planning to become a vocalist, but he fell in love with rap and hip-hop. He lets fans that are older than him call him “Oppa”. He loves the rooftop of his company’s building. He says he can ease his heart there. His other members voted him to be the manliest out of all of them. He dreams of becoming an actor. Next is Jeonghan. He likes Korean food, especially stews and chicken. He says Joshua was the first member to approach him when he first became a trainee. He says he’s closest to Joshua among all the Seventeen members. He doesn’t really like candies. He was voted by the other members as the member with the best personality. He’s envious of Seungkwan’s vocal skills. He calls himself ‘Angel’ because his birthday is on October 4th (1004 in Korean is “Cheonsa” which means “Angel”). Between 20 and Adore U, he prefers 20. His ideal type girl is someone who loves them and buys their albums. The meaning behind his real name is that Jeong means clean and Han means Country. It has the meaning that he will be like a clean milky way. He ranks himself third best visuals in the group. He says he’s the weakest member in the group. He gets tired easily and sleeps whenever and wherever he can. When he feels sleepy at the broadcasting stations, he would tell everyone he needs to use the washroom but he’s secretly sleeping there for 5 minutes. He looks up to SHINee’s Taemin because he has shown a lot of growth from his debut album until now, so he hopes he can be like that and be helpful to the vocal team. He says he seems quiet but he’s actually not like that.Between dating someone older or younger, he prefers someone older because he needs someone to take care of him. These facts are funny right? I'm dying at some and all the information is according to pledis17.com. Next is Joshua. He likes reading, sleeping, eating, playing the guitar and singing. His favorite colors are Blue, Black, Brown & Pink. His favorite sport is Football. He loves anime. His favorites are One Piece, Naruto & Bleach. He’s a christian.

His favorite youtube artists are Gabe Bondoc, AJ Rafael & Jeff Bernat. He can cook. He loves chicken. He finds British accents hot. His favorite animals are rabbits. His favorite korean actor is Jang Donggun. He loves fairy tales. He said music is his life. He’s a fan of EXO. He is on Team Jacob in the Twilight series. He prefers books over movies. He joined Pledis Entertainment and began his training in 2013. He finds it difficult to ask people for favors. His ideal type girl is someone who is kind. Between 20 and Adore U, he prefers 20. The meaning behind his name Joshua is that it’s a name from the bible. He views himself as a calm person. He attended church often when he lived in America. He was apart of the praise team and played the guitar. He is named Seventeen’s gentleman because he doesn’t get angry easily and talks softly. He wants to be like Shinhwa and be a team for a long time with a good relationship with the members. He wants to be a dutiful son to his parents and work hard and make them proud. When he lived in America, he would speak Korean at home and English at school so he is good at speaking it but not good at writing it. Between soccer or basketball, he prefers soccer. His favorite flavor of ice-cream is kiwi. I'm mostly doing a blog post so you guys can see which Seventeen members you are closest with so you can form a bong and get more into kpop.

His role models are Zhoumi and Henry because he wants to receive a lot of love from China and Korea like them. He wants to be an all-round entertainer and show the nice images of Seventeen to Chinese people. He said it was good to learn Korean but the pronunciation was very hard for him. Between dressing up or dressing down, he prefers dressing up. He is envious of coups confidence on stage and body. And then there's Hoshi. He had braces before, but had them removed.

Cured meat for a quarter!

Alhamdulillah for Salamz Hussein’s birthday!

Who would have thought that such a wholesome friendship would come out of me doing a favor for Mikko & Rob to bring their instruments and their two friends to an open mic. Despite my despise for those sort of functions, being surrounded by cliquey filipino college students, and bearing through too many cheesy acoustic/ukelele acts from Gabe Bondoc wannabes, it was worth enduring all that to see the Salami Experience perform. And I’ve been a fan of yours ever since! If you need a reminder, you can hear me loud and clear shouting my favorite band from the front row at the 4 minute mark lol.

Ever since that night, I was always envious of Trebor and Komi that they got to make music with you and James. So what a day it was when I got the text to officially join slmz xp! I felt so giddy and marshmallowy on the inside during that first practice. That’s a day I never forget :)

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before but my favorite friendships are those forged in music. Because when words or actions fall short, the bonds made through music elevate and connect friends like no other thing can. And for as much as I admire you as a good-hearted person and a talented vocalist, there are few joys in this world that lift me up as high as when you in particular sing God’s praises. The Holy Spirit truly flows into and out of you when you sing and its effect is so uplifting. I’m not too well versed in scripture nor am I the most pious of individuals. And I definitely have my skepticisms in some aspects of my faith. But when you sing the Lord’s praises, all of my reservations wash away if only for a moment. You are an inspiring positive force and any time spent contributing to praise alongside you and the rest of the gang is such an honor.

I watched this a lot especially when Douglas had a paw or two out of the door. Those were some of the worst times in all my life. But even if it was for only 3 minutes at a time in watching that clip, that was 3 minutes where the harsh realities of that time were not bearing down on me. Your voice gave me hope in a timeframe void of it. It gave me comfort and helped refuel me for the grueling caretaking I had to provide for my pup. I cannot thank you (and the rest of those dudes in the clip!) enough for that little bit of peace I was afforded during an incredibly turbulent time in my life.

Thanks for always nudging me to take small chances every now and then. The seemingly inconspicuous things you suggest tend to have a major impact in my life. Whether it’s timidly taking SE (where the car ride up to Graymoor with you and Mikko was filled with deep reservation for the retreat but also tons of hilarity), giving into years of hesitation to take LSS, or even just watching a heart-warming show like “This is Us”, your little bit of guidance always seems to lead me towards a path to goodness. Those three things alone gave me a family of friends founded in faith, a mentor with similar views on the world to help me navigate life, and a show I haven’t felt so enthused about since Grey’s Anatomy!

Your friendship is a blessing I do not and will not take for granted. Whether it’s playing 5th wheel to Jalami & Mikkolly, being an honorary Rice Girl to Samolli, or hanging out at various BLD/holiday/musical/galavanting related functions, your hearty laugh and fun-loving company are always welcome to this long-legged man-child. I look forward to the years of friendship ahead of us and doing my best to help knock off at least one these things off your list. But probably not the third one because I have an unreasonable phobia of jewelry... O_o

Cheers to 25 years!

With love from your favorite former-Filipino-popstar-sensation friend,

J.Honey ;)

PS: Your gift will be coming in the mail one of these days. You (and your dad! muahahaha) should be on the look out. Hapz Bornday again dude :)))))))

The Climb - Miley Cyrus (Cover)

Was listening to some inspirational music to help calm my nerves (Kollaboration is only a day away! Ahh...), and I decided to do a cover. This is "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. I did this in one take, so expect to hear mistakes (sorryyy). =X lol I don't know how Gabe Bondoc does it, and not to mention it's flawless every time. I guess he's just amazing like that. ;)
