Themes in artist’s work:

Gi-Seok has a profound attraction to beauty in its various forms.

He holds a special appreciation for the analogue photographic process, as it allows him to capture beauty in a unique way.

This mood is carefully cultivated through his artistic choices, giving his images a sense of longing and memory.

'2023 (Friends)' | DKZ Year End Project Song 'It's All Right Part. 4'

[sanstropfremir]

hi im not sure if someone already complained about this with you but i find that the in-house photographers that kpop companies have take really boring photos? No interesting compositions, dynamic posing, etc Just a smirk here or there and a dead-eyed stare straight into the camera. The kpop idols themselves may be styled nicely but then the photo itself is just boring. I may be really picky but as a potential customer, it doesnt make me interested in buying the album, only if I really like the songs then I would buy the album solely for the CD lol What spurred this on was ateez' teaser pics lol, it all looks the same to me compared to their previous teasers. Probably cuz its the same in-house photographer. I really like when companies are able to work editorial photographers like cho giseok, it really elevates their concept. Even sm does interesting things with nct dream like their glitch mode teaser photos. Sorry I just had to get this off my chest 🥲

oh yea i 100% agree with you, a lot of the in house photographers for companies are not creative at all. and i do agree whoever the kq photographer is i would like them to shoot literally anything other than a straight on evenly lit portrait. please. i've found it's about half and half that the concept photographers are good, but there are some that are more consistant than others. woodz always has a great photographer, so does sunmi. sm usually has good photographers and has been on a good spate lately: the ones for glitch mode were great, as have been all of the aespa concept photos and i LOVED the once for sticker. the last couple p1harmony sets have been really interesting also? hyoyeon's ones for deep were fun, and hyuna actually shot the ones for stupid cool, which i think is cute af and also they look good. also the obvious mention, the siren:dawn sun photos, because literally how do you get better than that. getting a good concept photoshoot all depends on how well the creative director has integrated all their ideas and maintained a consistant vision, plus the skill of the photographer, so there are a couple places where things can fall through if everyone isn't vigilant.

The Unit MTBI - Daewon MBTI

Daewon (Madtown) – ENFJ

Cognitive Functional Stack – Fe Ni Se Ti

ENFJs are loyal, helpful, kind, compassionate, and group-orientated people, which is a relatively succinct and accurate description of Daewon.  Throughout the series we can see his extreme (although not always perfect) use of his dominant Fe.

Something that is clear with Fe users is how they respond to praise.  Praise from other people means the world to Daewon and it’s what makes him feel validated (Fe).  Unlike Fi users who are often less reliant or dependent on this praise, Daewon needs it to survive.  This is why he is so affected by Lee Geon having 6 boots but only having 1 boot himself and reads too much into how Lee Geon feels about this himself.  (Daewon assumes that Lee Geon must regard himself as superior to Daewon when in fact all Lee Geon cares about is that they both got through.)

However, the fact that he regards praise as being so important is shown in how he treats other people.  When he takes the MAS band members under his wing to teach them how to dance (altruism since it could lead to him missing the opportunity to be in a group that could win first mission – Fe) he praises them for every little thing, saying, “I believe words of encouragement work wonders” (Fe-Ni).  He’s also quick to share any praise that he’s given, always confirming that the rest of the group worked hard too.  “I love my team”.  ENFJs are good at making people comfortable, which MAS clearly felt under his guidance. Shy Giseok stated that Daewon was the first person he felt able to grow close to.

Daewon is known as the “angel” of the unit due to his altruistic and extremely polite nature. This is a result of his dominant Fe. ENFJs are types that are known for wanting to try to “save the world”.  Sometimes they get caught up in their good deeds and can get a sort of saviour-complex which makes them blind to decisions that they think they make in everyone’s best interest but actually aren’t.  Daewon sometimes verges on this trait, for instance when he calls out Lee Geon into the boxing ring.

As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, Daewon is quite naïve in how he does this.  If he truly desired for both of them to make it into the final lineup, he should have used that extra screentime much more carefully. However, he suffered from a lack of planning (inferior Ti) and didn’t realise how TV shows edit to portray the maximum amount of drama possible (underdeveloped Ni-Se).  He acted in haste (Se) because his feelings were simply ready to burst out (Fe) due to how hurt he’d been.

In spite of being friends for the majority of their lives, Daewon and Lee Geon’s functional stacks couldn’t really be more different.  Their friendship is based entirely on loyalty, companionship, and shared interests in things such as music and sport.  Their minds won’t connect in an implied understanding of each other through shared functional traits but rather only through familiarity of knowing what the other is like.  Their cognitive functional stacks are completely different;  Daewon is a Feeler, Geon a Thinker;  Daewon is an Intuitor, Geon is a Sensor.  None of their lower functions overlap with the other’s either.  They simply don’t really understand what’s going through the other’s mind and this led to their clash in the boxing ring.  However, Lee Geon, having Si and Ne, was more pre-disposed to be able to see what potential outcomes of this interaction would be for them and therefore took the opportunity not to say anything.  Meanwhile Daewon’s limited Ni thought that the future would be bright as long as they made up and then carried on working hard (Ni-Se).  He didn’t realise that viewers would remember this encounter and hold it against Lee Geon, even after they’ve made up (no Si-Ne axis).  Daewon should have used his Fe to be able to feel this from other people but I think that at that point he was so used up from his own feelings that he was blinded to other people’s feelings and how he should have interpreted them.

Daewon is inclined to look towards the future rather than the past (Ni), always talking about how he wants to walk “flower paths” in the future, with his friends (Fe).  However, he also makes connections that other people don’t, and “says random things at random times”.  Seyong thinks he’s one of the most “4D” people in the competition (Ni). It’s a kind of obliviousness to the current setting (inferior Se).

Inferior Ti can mean that in stressful situations, an ENFJ is caught up with asking questions like “why is this happening to me??” rather than actually working towards relieving the stress in a meaningful way.  Daewon sometimes gets a bit like this, notably when he experiences stress related to friendships such as his friendship with Lee Geon.  He is simply concerned with the “why doesn’t he like me?? Why isn’t he talking to me?  Why is this happening to me?” questions rather than focusing on how he can work on being friends with Lee Geon again, or actually considering the reasons behind Lee Geon’s recent decisions (which I’ve explained on the Lee Geon post).

Daewon is slightly immature for his age, but not drastically so.  This can be explained away somewhat by the tough conditions that he’s had to go through to get where he is, from living on the floor by candlelight in some empty office spaces, to having the burden of leading his best friend into a failing company.

His altruism is what makes the main part of his personality, almost consumingly so.  He almost uses it as a means of proving that he still has self worth after a difficult journey through life to where he is now.  This is proven when the Kingsman team are doing their introductions, and when it’s Daewon’s turn, Seyong simply says that he should just introduce himself as an angel from heaven.  Daewon obviously likes this because it’s validation for him that he is a Good Person, which is what he’s aiming to be in life.

Ultimately other people’s opinion of him is what feeds Daewon, and none more so than Lee Geon’s opinion, which means so much to him.  He loves his teams, and they love him in return.  He shows love for his fellow competitors by promoting their songs (said he was listening to Bigstar/IM/Snuper).  He enjoys receiving help and advice from other people and giving the same in return.  He’s on the same wavelength as fellow ENFJ Euijin for their choreography (mentioned 4th mission) and he tries his best to be kind and fair to others, saying, when asked for whom his rival was, “I do not know about rivals”.  As Hwang Chiyeol said, those who lower their head will be able to raise it later, and this is precisely what happened with Daewon. From one boot to the final lineup, he’s the member of UNB with the lowest original boot score.  

Let’s hope that Daewon can walk on many flower paths to come.
