new era of kpop hair polls, not sure how long this one will really last but let’s just see

[wickymicky]

lmao young dumb stupid samples frere jacques? that was unexpected haha. i'll get used to it 

jyp clearly wanna hop on the y2k trend but like i think it works and tbh i like most of the girl group songs in this trend, so it's a win for me. if i knew more about music theory i could tell you what specific elements theyre incorporating into their sound with this song that make it part of this trend, but i cant really explain it more than just saying it's got that vibe haha. idk. it's kinda dreamlike? this song isnt especially dreamlike, but it's got elements that are dreamlike in other songs. it doesnt do that 100%, but that's fine. yeah idk it's good

people say that it's nwjns influence but i think this trend started before them. they were a reaction to the trend, not the cause of it. more groups might be adopting it because of their success, but it's not like theyre copying them or anything. this isnt new lol. 

but yeah i think with groups like nmixx and xg adopting elements of this sound and aesthetic, it's a major sign that it's a huge trend right now. but unlike the massive disco trend in kpop a couple years ago, i like most of the songs haha

[zonaenthusiast]

Which kpop group do I think suit every mugiwara the best? And would they be a boy group or a girl group stan?

This is because yesterday I had a specific revelation and I started thinking about it in general, so here are my ideas:

Luffy as Seventeen

Luffy has been one of the ones I've had to think about the most but then it occurred to me that he would really like Seventeen. They have a very fresh and fun concept in general that really suits Luffy and they are one of the very few groups that, despite being together for almost ten years, have never lost members. And that's even stranger considering there are so many of them. They love each other as much as the mugiwara love each other and Luffy would adore them (get it?) for that.

Bg or gg stan? Both.

Zoro as The Boyz

For Zoro I have come up with several groups that could fit very well with him like Ateez or Stray Kids, but I have ended up opting for The Boyz because there is a very specific homoerotic component in their music that very few groups are able to replicate. The bisexual energy they give off reminds me too much of Zoro not to choose them.

Bg or gg stan? Both, but their concept has to be dark.

Nami as (G)I-DLE

This is the revelation I had after listening to Gidle's new song, Nami would fucking love them. Just pure female representation and empowerment. Gidle's last three comebacks (Tomboy/Nxde/Queencard) are three different representations of how a woman can express her femininity and all are valid (Nami in particular is so Queencard coded and Robin would be more Nxde coded, I think).

Bg or gg stan? I think she would like some bgs but she would be mostly a gg stan.

Usopp as EXO

NOW HEAR ME OUT because I know this one sounds weird, but I think Usopp would love Exo's storytelling. The clone lore? He would eat that shit up. Besides, I don't know why but I think Usopp wouldn't listen to just anything and Exo is one of the most talented groups there is, so...

I think Usopp would like groups that focus on storytelling or have very defined concepts, Vixx would be another option that I think fits him very well.

Bg or gg stan? Both.

Sanji as Girl's Generation

This one was also very clear to me. Sanji would listen to ggs exclusively and I feel that only the most iconic gg would be the right choice for him. He would be so Yoona biased. And he is one of those who would know her choreographies to perfection.

Bg or gg stan? As I said, gg stan exclusively.

Chopper as GFRIEND

My main pick for Chopper is Gfriend because the powerful innocence concept they are known for reminds me a lot of him. I think StayC or fromis_9 concepts also fit him very well.

Bg or gg stan? Both.

Robin as Red Velvet

I don't know how to explain this but if you know about Red Velvet concepts you know I'm right. There's something so unique and peculiar about their music that matches every part of Robin's taste and personality. Red Velvet are the epitome of one of my favorite kpop concepts, which I call cute but murderous. Just watch their Russian Roulette mv and you will understand.

Robin would write a fucking essay on why everyone is wrong and Zimzalabim is actually the best kpop song ever.

Bg or gg stan? Both, as long as their music is the strangest succession of sounds you've ever heard in your life.

Franky as Monsta X

Just himbos, I don't have anything else to say.

Bg or gg stan? I think he would tend to listen to bgs a little bit more, but both regardless.

Brook as Dreamcatcher

Oh, I just know Brook would love Dreamcatcher. Women? Check. Rock style? Check. Horror concept? Check. They are perfect for him, it makes so much sense.

Bg or gg stan? Not as exclusively as Sanji because music is music, but gg stan.

Jinbe as MAMAMOO

Jinbe would love every Mamamoo member's unhinged personality as much as he loves Luffy's. He would have so much fun with them and their concepts and their music, it's a strong feeling I have.

Bg or gg stan? Both.

On 5Miinust (+ Puuluup) and the pleasures of sticking idol pop where it (supposedly) doesn't belong.

I haven't been around much lately, y'all. Partly because my dudes have also not been around much, although ZaQ continues to post a series of videos on the ARTJAQ channel, teaching the audience about... something. I continue, in turn, to not understand Kazakh. Throw in increasing disillusionment with K-pop (I guess now we know why GFriend was so abruptly shitcanned, though the knowledge doesn't make me feel any better), a general post-October-7th discomfort with most online pop-music discussion spaces, and work to get done at home, and Tumblr just hasn't been a particularly rewarding place for me lately.

I didn't think Eurovision was going to be a rewarding place for me this year, either. And then Eesti Laul happened.

It's like some divine imp was watching and saying to themself, "You know what Jessica needs? A pop-rap group from a former Soviet colony whose members love video games and refuse to take themselves seriously and release lots of goofy content that sorely lacks English subtitles. No, another one."

To clarify: the description in the previous paragraph only refers to four of the six people making up Estonia's Eurovision entry this year. The two guys in the clip with talharpas are the respected "zombie-folk" duo Puuluup, who play world music festivals and draw their own album covers and seem like a very fun and intelligent duo. They somehow have fallen into league with 5Miinust, a four-member (previously five) group that has been around since the mid-2010s. To the best of my knowledge 5Miinust have never been accused of being Satanic and/or gay like Ninety One have, but they are either a party group, a hip-hop group, a boy band, a bunch of frat bros (see this album cover), or a very savvy business collective whose members include a former advertising specialist and a trained accountant. Or, most likely, all of the above at once.

The 5Miinust / Puuluup collaboration by itself is charming enough, and if you want to know more about how it came to pass, I direct you to Overthinking It's very good video on Estonia's entry. And "Nendest Something Something," as @sole-cuore-amore-e-droga calls it, is the best kind of fun: chaotic at first listen, carefully constructed subsequently. I don't expect it to do well in Malmö. (I think "Europapa," which is also a seemingly chaotic song that turns out to have a lot more going on than its bouncy surface would first indicate, will win overall.) And I don't really care. I'm not sure 5Miinust and Puuluup care a huge amount about the scoreboard either. They've already recorded a full album together; they seem to be having a good time making silly videos for social media. They'd be my winners even without the added bonus, which is that these guys are absolutely giving idol-pop goodness.

I mean: go watch that Eesti Laul performance again. With the exception of the bridge, each performer gets his own solo time, a classic idol-pop move. There's choreo! And the styling: everyone shirtless under a suit jacket, but each suit jacket tailored slightly differently—that is such an idol-pop live-performance look. I cannot be the only person who clocked that Korea's suit is cut the same way as Nine's for "libidO" live stages, just more conservatively.

And the deeper you get into the 5Miinust rabbit hole, the more idol-pop-esque goofiness you find. Drag performances? Yep. Live radio performances with gimmicks? Here they are stripping to "Vamos." Super-dramatic award-show performances with loads of backup dancers? Here they are at last year's Estonian Music Awards. Do you need to learn the point dance? 5Miinust and Puuluup will combine forces to teach you the point dance.

And yet, talking about either (and both) of these groups as idols is a gloriously stupid idea, because "idol pop" suggests a willingness to subjugate themselves to audience demands that neither 5Miinust or Puuluup, for all their combined marketing skill, have. Idol pop historically depends on hierarchies—performers deferring to management, and, in a different way, to their audience—and that's not how 5Miinust or Puulup work. When I wrote up a guide to who's who for /r/eurovision, I said that Päevakoer is 5Miinust's maknae, and it was a joke because I'm pretty confident no one within 5Miinust has ever cared for one second who's older and who's younger. Just the fact that two different groups with a decade between them found creative inspiration in happily treating each other as equals gives the lie to the idol-pop framing. Nobody's bowing to Marko and Ramo. The whole idea is so far from how these particular performers relate to each other as to be nonsensical.

Which means: idol-pop goodness without stifling hierarchies; idol-pop goodness by people in charge of their own careers, who post goofiness on their own terms; idol-pop goodness combined with musical experimentation born of mutual respect. YES. YES. SIGN ME THE HELL UP.

(If it doesn't go without saying at this point, I would give a lot for my new faves to somehow meet my existing faves. Ninety One might not have enough English comprehension to make the meeting work, though. I think 5Miinust's ex-member Gameboy Tetris might speak Russian; whether he wants to speak Russian would be another story.)

I got lucky, and found people also willing to enjoy the 5Miinust-and-Puuluup-as-idols ironic glee. @sole-cuore-amore-e-droga really kicked things off by making that awesome lyrics video, and from there we got a line distribution video and a logo design for our fandom (Estoners) and photocards and a fanchant and a lightstick design and a "Gangnam Style" mashup and chibi art and then more chibi art. It has been one of the highlights of my past month, being able to giggle unreservedly with strangers. I haven't been able to do that in a long time.

Eurovision happens in two weeks, and then there will inevitably be a dropoff in activity, no matter where "(nendest)..." places. Without the Eurovision framework (and the English-language content that comes with it) I suspect most Estoners will move on. I'm still going to play the album, though, and keep an eye on these guys. Any chance to expand idol pop into more humane spaces, I'm going to take, no matter how silly it seems.

hello ! ♡ ( 21+ & she/her ) wanted to try this again. generally just searching for some 19+ writing partners ( possibly , long-term partners ?? ) to write some cute , maybe angsty , sapphic plots on discord. i also have been hoping to find some partners who'd be willing to use eunha x sowon as fcs within a plot, preferably as sowon as eunha is one of my preferred fcs. that being said, i'd also love and would be open to using other gfriend members as fcs ! ( also , my fcs aren't strictly limited to them but i'd really love to use them )

i'm very into detailed plots and backstories and adore sharing musings, creating moodboards and cute texting threads ! i would love if my partners were just as enthusiastic about those things as well. nsfw content is also very much welcomed but i'd prefer to discuss such things beforehand and would rather it not take up the overall roleplay. i'd also like to add that i tend to be more comfortable writing submissive muses but that can be discussed. my writing style tends to follow literate to novella ? i enjoy writing multiple paragraphs and often exceed the character limit. but i also enjoy writing smaller threads ! that being said , i'd prefer if my partners also enjoyed writing a little more , at least a paragraph or more - please no one-liners !

i think i've detailed most things ? i'm always down to chatting ooc with my partners , i'm a bit shy but love to talk whether it's about our muses , games , music - anything ! i do ask that you let me know if you're busy. i'll never pester for replies and am very patient , so i'll always understand if things don't work out or replies are slow all i ask is that you let me know in advance ? just , please don't ghost !

if you're interested , please give this a like & i'll reach out to you ! ♡

I forgot what a piece of art Apple by GFriend is. The message of liberation through corruption of purity is so much more blatant than I remembered, and it continues beautifully in MAGO. Everything they did in 2020 holds a special place in my heart and I miss their style of music, their b-sides especially. I wish there were kpop groups nowadays doing stuff like Room of Mirrors, Tarot Cards, Eclipse or Eye of the Storm. The closest I got to hearing something similar this year was Oh My Girl's Classified. If anyone has recommendations of songs in a similar style please share, regardless of whether it's kpop or not

~your company~ rbw🍰

~group name~ lunaria

~members~ 11

~debut date~ 2015

~pre debut days~

Despite your enthusiasm and motivation to train and later debut, you were never the textbook trainee or idol in the eyes of your peers.

In some ways you were overlooked, there weren't any major reasons its more that they didn't feel any type of competition forming during the time you spent as trainees. Though this was initially quite disheartening for you it was also a blessing considering it gifted you with the opportunity of rising up and becoming a star trainee and they were none the wiser.

They were the definition of shocked when you were chosen to be the 7th official member of Lunaria. Eleven members sounds like a lot but considering the amount of trainees who you had to out perform it was a feather in your hat so to speak, proof of your time spent as a trainee.

Another thing to note is your "pure" "good-girl" archetype wasn't a role you had to assume once joining Lunaria, you had always been that type trainee, the one who was polite, optimistic and open to improvement.

All in all you were such a genuine example of idols still remaining human in everything that made them great, you have not changed since your pre-debut days and that adds to your charm.

~about you~

Though this is a epilogue to your days as a trainee I just have to say it again, your personality is extremely consistent throughout your career, some idols experience a change in personality as they grow as a person. For some reason you managed to change and grow in a multitude of ways while being the fun-loving idol who charmed their fans from day one.

At the heart of it you're the happy virus but in retrospect you are way more laidback one who spreads happiness by being a caring and fun-loving person without being particularly hyper. You're the one who just knows how to take care of your other members with abstract knowledge on self-care, whether it be some stellar recipes, knowing how to massage people in just the right way or just generally knowing ways to chill everyone out. Rather than being the mom of the group you're like the cool cousin.

This has nothing to do with your actual personality or your performances but you're literally the groups fashion icon with your cottagecore/vintage look. Though your company often makes your stage outfits a bit more flashy they still take enough care to allow you to be the vintage 'Modest Hollywood' type of idol.

Something that makes your character so intriguing to your fans is the duality you have, which you show in later years of your career. You are generally predictable and comfortable, people know what they will get from you in terms of personality and how well you perform. But you do have a more serious, competitive side that adds to your intrigue.

Ngl everyone simps over your competitive side.

Basically genderswap Minho from Stray Kids, make him a stylish vintage girly and you have you.

The deep relatability of your personality is what results in you being one of the more popular members especially when it comes to appealing to an international audience.

Your group actually possesses so much duality as a whole, each member has two distinct personalities, this doesn't even include the persona that each of you take on while performing. For you it's the level-headed mom-aunt which is completely debunked by your soft almost-crybaby-needs-to-be-babied side.

~your position/s~ dancer & sub-vocalist

~debut song~ clear rain in the style of time for the moon night by gfriend

~other songs include~

a white swan dance in the style feel my rhythm by red velvet

in a way only you could (my heart beats for you) in the style of goblin by sulli

magic hat trick in the style of sweet girl by b1a4

~debut album~ mon cherie

~stage outfits~

~relationships~

~best friend~ yuta (nct)🍰

If there is anyone in the idol-verse who has the MOST love and care and respect and all around loving energy towards you it is Yuta. Though you seem like complete polar opposites there is a deep mutual connection that Yuta hardly feels when he is around other people.

There is something that's reminiscent of a princess and her knight but in a platonic sense. Yuta is aware of how quiet and reserved you tend to be and that's what kicks his whole protective friend schtick into overdrive. He still remains relatively laid-back and Yuta-ish but he stands his ground when it comes to your friendship and the unlimited support and respect he has for it.

Definitely the type of friend who doesn't care that you both have an idol image, he will playfully shove or mock you at awards shows while cheering the loudest when your group wins something. The only way I can really describe it is having a sibling relationship minus the sibling aspect, both in mind and actuality.

Matching jewellery is a must for him.

Yuta is a very outgoing idol and while he still maintains some very potent Yuta-ness he is actually a very supportive friend, he is totally down to talk about serious issues or things regarding your wellbeing. AKA he will go out of his way to be the ultimate friend, whether you just need him as a shoulder to cry on or whether you need him to spill all the tea, he will do it all.

That all being said, even if he seems like the most carefree, casual friend in existence he is your best friend for a reason And that reason is the way he is so selfless and protective he is skilled at many things which includes maintaining friendships while still making you feel like you are his one and only, and in some ways you are. You mean so much to him and are definitely one of his most cherished friends in the grand scheme of things.

~friends~khael (mirae), seok matthew (zb1), gyuvin (zb1), taeil (nct), minhyuk (monsta x), somi, jini, chuu, wendy (red velvet) and tzuyu (twice).

~boyfriend~ yoojung (onlyoneof)🍰

The whole thing felt like a healthy dose of fate. You were over the moon that Lunaria were finally being invited onto Idol Radio, though you weren't crazy huge on radio shows Idol Radio had a soft spot in your heart and you had always wanted to participate in the radio shenanigans with your group.

You had assumed it was just your group however, once it was revealed that only you and four other group members would be on the show due to conflicting schedules you couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed that it wasn't a 'family' thing so to speak.

Unbeknownst to you part of the reason why your other members couldn't participate was because of the nature of the radio segment. Instead of focusing on you and your group Idol Radio had secured some of the members of OnlyOneOf to star in their segment.

It was quite the contrast considering that your group themes were so distinct, diverse and polar opposites. OnlyOneOf was actually the perfect candidate for creating interesting conversations that were perfect for going on air.

Pointing it out again it was a very odd combination of members from the get go, besides the group concepts you were just very different, however, the consistent factor was that you and yoojung were both known as being elegant and soft spoken.

The entire episode had gone extremely well, much to everyone's surprise, it was the most comfortable you had felt in a very long time in the presence of other idols, apart from Yuta. It wasn't just you who had the time of their lives, if you could read the men across from you you'd know that Yoojung's heart had started to beat in a different way and by the end of the show you had won him over.

And the reason why you won him over? It seriously seems like the most basic thing but basic or not it mattered to him. He was trying to have his say in a conversation but the members kept speaking over him, they truly didn't mean it though it was just excitable chatter that Yoojung wanted to get in on. You noticed how he couldn't get his word in so you politely spoke, your voice breaking them out of their trance. "Excuse me, what were you saying Yoojung?"

There was something admirable about this entire feat, you managed to be polite and approach people in such a gentle manner yet you also had enough in you to command a room. This was like the most attractive thing to him, amongst other things.

From this point his members knew something was afoot with their fellow member when he started dressing in your favourite colours and patterns and tried to capture the most soft-boy energy in existence.

Yoojung also thought it was fate that the rest of the members bonded with your group members since it gave him more opportunities to third-wheel just to have an opportunity to see you.

Honestly this relationship felt so natural and it came at the perfect moment, when your dating ban had finished, that also means that when he got the confidence to ask you out he was the first to do so. In short he felt lucky that he could be your first boyfriend and he promised to never take that for granted. He truly is your prince who puts extra effort into ensuring that you get treated like a princess.

There is so much childish love and excitement in your relationship and you truly feel like you found your other half, you share the same mind and the same heart. You are both the shimmering lights of the k-pop industry.

~crushing on you~ yeosang (ateez)🍰

Yeosang honestly has the softest most kindest intentions with his crush on you, not to spam this ship with wholesome and cute content but despite Yeosang being a strong performer with such visual he is also so gentle and treats his crush on you with the utmost respect.

Yeosang has a notorious track record of being the kindest man in existence, something that's followed him since he was quite young so it was no surprise that he would feel a sense of comfort after discovering you and your group. You were always somebody who made him feel at home, though it would be a while before he actually met you he felt that you understood him on a deep level.

Much to his joy and happiness when he had crossed paths with you he was so pleased to see that the idol who had his heart wasn't putting on a show, she was genuinely kind and a breath of fresh air.

This just deepened his crush on you and despite being encouraged by Wooyoung he would never actually confess that he had so much love for you in his heart.

He just knew that while he was sure he could try his hardest to make you happy that he had to wait and see if you would find somebody and if he was lucky enough to call you his at some time or another that he would be more than happy and willing to pursue a relationship with you.

But don't mistake his silence for lack of care, he truly does have some pure and deep feelings for you. You are someone that he can really see himself being with for a very long time. His admiration is real and true.

~other idols crushing on you~ hyunjin (stray kids), jisung (nct), yeonjun (txt), allen (cravity), yonghoon (onewe), kangsung (ghost9), taesan (boynextdoor) and shotaro (riize)

~extra info~

You collaborated with the brand Port Tanger to come out with a limited time solo brand that sold cottagecore and vintage style clothing and jewellery

You're also occasionally asked to be a backup dancer for other artists especially for award shows or things like Gayo Daejeon

I didn't know where else to put this but you're also known as one of the really giving artists who is very socially aware and supports causes like Save the Children or animal support causes like FOUR PAWS International.

~scandal~ This isn't really a massive scandal in the grand scheme of things but you were accused of having a highly manufactured personality. People had trouble believing you could be an idol while maintaining such as shy, compassionate and almost innocent persona. Your group wasn't as cute or peppy as Oh My Girl or any other groups with a cute concept, so it aroused suspicion and many accused you of trying to hide something through your polite mannerisms.

Guide to essences (1/2)

'Essence' is not as defined or technically-based as kibbe body typing. It is about the energy one displays through their gestures, facial features, hair, personal style, voice, and such. In many ways it is like a first impression and can be subject to change over the course of your life. If kibbe decides the structure of your garments then essence decides the particular style and sense of creativity to what you would wear. This system is actually not connected to David Kibbe's work and has its own set of rules.

There are seven essences that are most agreed on, and five correspond to kibbe types. As we're all slightly different from each other, pretty much everyone has two-to-three essences. The strongest, main essence will be first, followed by the second strongest, etc. It's truly rare to project one particular energy to where you have one agreed on essence.

It's a bit harder to argue over essence typing because you can have a subjective opinion on which is more beneficial. +it's very hard to type yourself. Anyways, let's jump in!

Romantic essence

Think: dreamy, soft, floaty, ornamental, lusciousness, bouncy hair, ruffles, flowers, soft blush, theatricality, lipstick, femininity

Romantic-dominant essences: Eugene of S.E.S, Yuri of SNSD, Sunmi, Gain, Joy of Red Velvet, Jiwon of fromis_9, Wonyoung of IVE, Belle of Kiss of Life

~

Gamine essence

Think: quirky, offbeat, dual-energy, youthful, energetic, breaking barriers, androgynous, punk-like, mismatched, patterned, chaos, excitement

Gamine-dominant essences: Sunny of SNSD, Minzy of 2ne1, Hyelin of EXID, Seulgi of Red Velvet, Chaeyoung of TWICE, Soyeon of (G)-Idle, Dosie of Purple Kiss, Bibi

~

Classic essence

Think: button-up shirts, symmetrically, pared-back makeup, good tailoring, evenness, harmony, elegance, timelessness

Classic-dominant essences: Seohyun of SNSD, Krystal of f(x), Irene of Red Velvet, Seolhyun of AOA, Mina of TWICE, Sowon of Gfriend, Suzy of Miss A, Kazuha of Lesserafim

~

Natural essence

Think: tousled hair, freckles, sun-kissed skin, textured clothes, leather, boots, outdoors, nature symbolism, energy, vitality, serenity, sense of grounding, sustainability, approachability

~

Ingenue essence

Think: girlish, wide-eyed, doe, bows, clouds and imagination, pastels, lip gloss, sweetness, prettiness, doll-like, petals, fruit, cuteness

Ingenue-dominant essences: IU, Nayeon of TWICE, Jennie of Blackpink, Chuu, Winter of aespa, Liz of IVE, Tsuki of Billlie, Hitomi of SMN

~

Think: draping gowns, timelessness or from another era, prim posture, magnetic eyes, striking look, unique sense of contrast, alien-esque

Ethereal-dominant essences: Hani of EXID, Handong of Dreamcatcher, Bora of Cherry Bullet, Yeoreum of WJSN, Yiren of Everglow, Isa of StayC, Karina of aespa, Danielle of NewJeans

~~

To explain their system and chosen essences, the creator of this system imagines three of the above types as being more feminine (ingenue, ethereal, romantic) and three as being more masculine (gamine, natural, dramatic) with classic in the middle.

I don't entirely agree but you can imagine these types as being inversions of each other. Gamine is more boyish while Ingenue is more girlish, Natural is more earthy while Ethereal is more soft/airy, Romantic is striking softness while Dramatic is striking angularity, that sort of thing. And classic is in the middle.
