#how are jyp's new groups doing btw? are they even that 'big'?

[f-ngrl]

What are your thoughts on idol "rappers"?

Some of them, like Bobby, are good rappers but others like Lisa from BP just sing fast and people have them on a pedestal

I think it depends on whether they write their own lyrics or not. If they do, I judge their rap as such, and if they don't, I don't pay attention really :D (they might still be talented at something, dance or some other type of entertainment etc, it's just not that interesting to me)

For those who do write their own music, it's hard to tell how good it is because they get 4-8 lines/bars max in a group song. Which is why I'm always interested in idol rapper solo music! Then, they usually participate in producing too which is cool. My faves are probably Bobby, B.I, Jooheon, I.M. Even though it's not purely hip-hop, they make really good music. I hope that after some time, we'll get to have 4th generation idol rapper solo albums too, I'm especially waiting for Han (Jisung) and Hongjoong. (feel free to inform me when it happens bc i wouldn't know :D)

I don't really know about Lisa or other idols who don't write their own music (I only know she doesn't write it so I haven't listened to it lol :D), but yeah even if it sounds good, the credit shouldn't go to the performer but at least partly to the writer. Sometimes I wish kpop producers got more love but then maybe they chose this life for a reason, they get rich by making music but nobody recognizes them on the street 😆

Just one more thing, sorry for the long text uggggh: In the past, idol rappers were criticized for being at an advantage due to being in a company that pushes for their success with money, but nowadays there are soo many small kpop companies that are on a similar level as khh labels, so if the idol in question isn't from hybe/sm/jyp I don't really see them at an advantage.

Who are your favorite idol rappers? Can you recommend any with solo music? (I barely know about ggs and anyone who debuted after like 2018 :D)

[eyedi]

so i haven't watched batter up but i've seen clips and that's basically the same thing, and from what i've seen... i'm not missing out on very much lol. like let's start out with the yg EYE remember, with the most fashion-forward, trendy groups out there - they had an edge that couldn't be imitated for a very long time. 2NE1's collaborations with jeremy scott and adidas are still legendary, i think they really established a real connection for what kpop fashion could really be (at least for the second gen)

but everyone knows by now that they've pretty much gotten comfortable with where they are - meanwhile, the hip-hop baddie hood unnie concept has been ran thru since at least 2013. everyone has the same access to the same sound and the same pinterest boards and the same set design or whatever

but they don't want to adapt! bc they know how loyal stans can be to their groups, and therefore they can keep peddling the same reject songs they've had for 10 years. batter up sounds like it could have been released by blackpink in 2018 right along with ddu du ddu du. and though it would be kind of insulting to say it could be a 2NE1 song, i can hear them on it too

but what yg doesn't know is that the only reason their stans are so dedicated is because the individual members can stand on their own. at least in big bang, 2NE1, and blackpink's case, which leads me to another problem yg has, managing groups with more than 5 members. winner is an exception to this rule because mino is really the only one who stands out to me. then you have ikon with bobby being the most recognizable member. and treasure... no one knows wtf they're doing with those fiftyleven members... i genuinely could not pick any of them out of a lineup... you could point to any nugu kpop boy and say he's in treasure and i'd be like yeah sure. and with babymonster (i really love this name btw), i would say the standout is pharita? maybe? but everyone else kinda fades into the background. they need a Role, something that makes them an essential part of the group. yg used to understand how to do this, but they've lost it in recent years. babymonster will lowkey be fine bc they had their little webseries thing that made people become weirdly attached to them predebut. but if they didn't debut this year after all the delays their hype train would have died down hard.

but when blackpink debuted, it was huge because it was the first yg girl group since 2009, 2NE1 was basically being punished for being old hags (only half kidding), it was time for FUTURE 2NE1!!!!!!!! but we now see that yg is really just terrible at managing girl groups, so this debut just doesn't seem appropriately timed. debuts in general don't feel huge or important anymore. like sm just debuted a new boy group a couple months ago and it's... crickets (which is kinda nct's fault but that's a topic for another day). call it oversaturation or whatever but you really have to be doing some crazy shit for people to gaf about new groups. newjeans was maybe the last debut that made some noise because surprise drops are pretty unheard of in kpop.

but yeah yg kinda just lost its entire flavor. they're a legacy label of course, but the only thing that's keeping them relevant rn is blackpink, and if they leave, well... you know. hybe took their spot in the big 3, if anyone even still believes in that anymore. side note, this will never happen to sm btw. that's not even the pink blood in me (ew) i genuinely believe if sm were to fall, it would have happened a long time ago. jyp (the company) stays in the big 3 because twice and also jyp (the man) is egregiously fame-hungry. he would do anything and everything to keep his name in the streets

anyway i think yang hyunsuk deserves to have his name attached to a has-been company that is tarnished forever due to his and his associates' various crimes but i do feel bad for those young girls because blackpink and 2NE1 are definitely an indication of what's going to happen. i hope they don't have the roughest go of it at least

the decline of yg has been so interesting to watch in real time. i'm gonna write about it soon

Hanbin was accused, Hanbin was cleared

Wonho was accused, Wonho was cleared

Woojin was accused. Woojin is cleared

Illhoon was accused. I believe Illhoon too will be cleared.

I can finally speak out on of the things that has been bothering me since the news broke out. At the time it was very scary and stressful as we were dealing with the wildfires in our state at the same time so I was already having a hard time. Woojin was my bias and I never believed he would do something like that. I know everyone says to believe the victim but innocent until proven guilty is still valid and victims lie, it happens often and we all know how fans and antis get sometimes, just like Wonho and Hanbin people will do anything to throw idols under the bus.

The scariest thing for me to see was how quick everyone was in defending Hanbin and Wonho and how quick the same people threw Woojin away, immediately spreading hate and sending death threat and calling him fake and all these names and just obnoxious behaiver. I understand we were all upset but you can’t just believe someone right away with no evidence and so many holes in their story. And sometimes it’s best to wait it out and then make a decision.

It wasn’t just Woojin that was caught up in the whirlwind, Jungwoo, Chanwoo, Hongjoong, Seonghwa and a few more that I can’t remember were also names thrown out from so many people. Their biggest thing was when they claimed he was a member from the big three, had a w and two o’s in his name. This is not a good statement because for one thing Woojin left Stray Kids and JYP so not only was he out of the big 3 but he’s not the only one with those letters in his name. Jungwoo and Chanwoo are also under the big three and have a w and two o’s in their names.

Back when it was so big on Twitter the Jungwoo tags were all stating that Woojin was innocent but the Stray Kids tags were saying he was guilty. Even the supposed person themselves posted one last tweet before delete the account stating it was all fake but no one took that screenshot so people were led to believe it was all fake

And then on the bullying, I’ve seen a lot of videos saying ‘this idol bullying this group’ or ‘this group bullying this member for 8 minutes’ and multiple videos being taken out of context and people claiming that since Woojin doesn’t speak a lot in some videos it’s proof he doesn’t get along and the member don’t like him. Y’all that’s not how things work. Just because you aren’t fully engaged in an activity or if you aren’t getting along doesn’t make you a bully or a bad person, Woojin was going through his own shit and idols lives are hard enough, if they feel out of it sometimes it’s not okay for us to immediately accuse them of such things like ‘they don’t like their members, they don’t get along, they are bullies.’

Idols live together and are around each other often so what you might see as “bullying” might just be them goofing off I mean ffs there is a video titled ‘ATEEZ bullying Seonghwa’ and y’all fine with that because they are only goofing around and teasing each other but you automatically assume from any footage or out of context video of Woojin playing with and teasing the members that he’s a bully. Why are you putting double standards on this? Bullying is a very serious accusation and rumors and spreading false information or any information with no evidence can ruin an idols careers. Tara and Co-Ed School unfortunately we’re big examples of this. The Tara bullying scandal ruined those girls and all the rumors and accusations caused Co-Ed School to disband before anyone could say everything was false. You have to be careful with what you say and what you hear and see cause if it’s not true and everyone believes it is you ruined a whole idols career before it can even be fixed.

Ok so, yes I know everyone says “the victim is always right” and it’s okay if you want to believe that but remember there are two sides to every story and both parties are valid until further evidence or actual evidence and you are able to prove whether or not something actually happened. I had some other things to say but I’ll let those slide and it doesn’t matter not because Woojin is innocent and it’s great news. I’m so relieved because he was my bias and I was so heartbroken when he left and when I heard about the trouble he was going through. I was so afraid to even say Woojin because everyone was censering it, acting like it was a bad name and that’s not fair on Woojin himself and it’s also not fair on the other idols named Woojin because there are at least 5 Woojins so for people to be doing that is like, you’re invalidating the other Woojin’s just because you think one Woojin is bad. Seeing people tag Woojin like w***** or w**jin and woojail and tw woojin is really upsetting and that’s not okay, that’s like bullying, calling him woojail is not okay at all. Pretending his name is a trigger when it’s not and if his name was a trigger than all the idols named Woojin would have that and censoring his name, again you’re invalidating all the other woojins. And everyone that says “ot8 or get the fuck out” or “if you still support Woojin fuck off” like..he’s literally fucking innocent. It was a bunch of Brazilian antis that started all the lies and rumors and after all the stories that don’t make sense and people still think he’s guilty and they are still sending him hate and being absolute assholes towards him. If you don’t want to believe that he’s innocent, if you don’t want to like him fine. Don’t talk about him don’t make a bunch of woojail posts, don’t send him hate or death threats because you’re 1. Making things worse and 2. Care enough about him to make his life miserable which is exactly what antis do and what those antis did. It pisses me off and upsets me how fast everyone just turned on him and they continue to bully him and send him unnecessary hate. Also it’s ok to tag Stray kids and Woojin because he was a member of Stray Kids so don’t give people shit for tagging Stray Kids.

So I’m gonna end this posts educating y’all about the multiple Woojins and it’s okay to say and spell Woojin you guys. It’s alright, you won’t get in trouble. So Woojin, my boy who I miss so so much Kim Woojin who was in Stray Kids, there’s my Thot Woojin from Target, an amazing rapper btw, I do believe there is a Woojin in AB6IX and of course there is the hot Woojin from My.st who just has this whole vibe to him that is dead sexy. Also the Woojin from Teenteen/Ghost9 and also also your gurl found a sexy man, despite me not being into body builders, I found a man on Insta named Kim Woojin and he is definitely a fucking snaCC. So thanks and enjoy the Woojins. I can get back to making my memes again. I’m just sad that I believed and jumped to conclusions and deleted some Woojin posts. But I stopped myself before I deleted all of them

ALSO ALSO recently it’s been pointed out how did Woojin has been and someone described it as what Jonghyun looked like before he left us. Woojin is my boy and I’ve been worrying about him ever since he left Stray Kids and I swear on god Hui and my camera roll if he hurts himself in any way or we lose another wonderful person I will blame Bangchan. I will blame Felix, I will blame JYP and I will blame everyone that started the rumors, the lies, the people that sent Woojin mean messages, death threats, bullying him because you don’t need to like an idol no matter what they do but bullying them and sending unnecessary hate to them is not ok no matter what they did. Even if it’s bad just ignore it because you sending them mean comments doesn’t make you any better. I was already pissed off at fans and everyone else and Bangchan and Felix for all the mean comments and everything else they were doing and I’ll be even more pissed off if this whole situation was too much for him on top of his depression and he ended his life.

Ok you know what, I’m so fucking pissed off over these posts I’m seeing on tumblr and I’m upset and I’m still having thoughts on whether or not I should post this but you know what. I don’t care. It’s my blog, it’s my opinion and it’s my feelings that I need to get off my chest. Kim Woojin is innocent and if I get any hate of any kind my stomach will do flips but y’all should know better especially if you don’t agree with me so have fun I guess I’ll probably delete or block you so I don’t have to hear your meany-ness. It’s my opinion, my post and my blog and if you don’t like it then I have nothing to say to you.

2. “Have you lost your damn mind!?”

Note: Thanks for requesting! #1 is posted here! (Btw, if you’re curious, yes, this is based on that Scooby Doo episode hehe) I’d like to say that I’m trying to end this/keep it as short as possible, but if you’d like a full fic, drop a request :)

“So what you’re saying is... he’s dead? Like dead, dead? Like six feet under?”

“Seungmin,” you hissed, facially expressing that now was neither the time nor the place. He ignored you, eyes wide and focused on the man at the desk.

The lawyer from the local firm rubbed his temples, audibly exhaling through his nose. “Yes, Mr. Kim. Jinyoung Park has recently passed away. If there are no other questions about this matter, let us begin?” He looked around at the room, satisfied by the lack of questioning. “He stated in this will that this estate and his company would go to anyone who could successfully spend the night in this house. There’s no further explanation from this document, however, I would like to state that you are free to either stay the night or leave within ten minutes. There are rooms for you to stay in, but today will have to be the night in this document. Past the ten minutes, the doors will not be opened for you to leave.” 

You glanced around the room at the various groups there. There were 5 groups sitting with their own members. You only came to support your boyfriend, who was, somehow, still able to eat after hearing the news. You’d already seen ITZY but noticed that they were about to leave. 

“Yeji, wait, where are you guys going?”

“Oh, y/n. It’s nice to see you again, but let’s talk somewhere else.” The rest of the group glanced at the lawyer and then turned to the door. With a hushed tone, Yuna explained that there had been several disappearances in the house after the news of JYP reached them. 

“What? Who disappeared?”

“The maid, butler, all the help in the house. Even his gardner who only comes around once a week.”

“That’s- weird. But there’s a lot of people in the house. And imagine how much this is all worth. We should just stick together.” They looked at each other, seeming to reconsider, but then shook their heads. 

“We’ll see you after this is all over. Be safe y/n.” They headed to the car, and you stepped back in, rejoining the group. 

“Hey, why’d they leave?” Jisung stuffed another complimentary pastry into his mouth, tilting his head. 

“Can you ever just- anyway, guys, apparently people who used to work here under JYP all like, vanished. Like completely disappeared. Like, maybe we should leave?” 

“It’s weird that the agency dude didn’t say anything about that,” Minho frowned, watching him step into his car. 

“Y/n, it’s a rumor. I mean, who’s that then.” Woojin motioned towards the woman putting out more pastries. 

“The love of my life.” Jisung hopped away. You grimaced, and then met Mark’s eyes from across the room. He whispered something to the other guys and made his way through the crowd. 

“Hey, let’s talk.” He motioned you to follow him, tilting his head towards the coat closet. 

“This is roomy.” 

He rolled his eyes, sighing heavily. “Listen, I’ll make it quick. We’re past the ten minutes so we gotta stick together. I noticed that this entire house is bugged. Like cameras and random mics everywhere. I told the other guys, but Jinyoung’s the only other person who noticed. He said that he didn’t see anything in here, so that’s why we’re here. I heard you talking about the random disappearances, and I heard that too. We rode over here with ITZY and they told us about it.”

“Wait, wait, wait. So we’re... basically in a weird situation.”

He exhaled. “Yeah, basically. If there’s any hope of not disappearing, it’ll be if we all just stay awake in one room.”

The door swung open, and you looked up at Jisung, who raised his eyebrows. “Mark, what’re you doing? In a closet. With my woman?” You looked back at Mark, who mirrored your deadpan expression. 

“We were canoodling.” You stepped around your shocked boyfriend, patting him on the shoulder. “Guys, let’s go up to our room. Mark, does everyone else... know?” He looked around the room, shrugging his shoulders. 

“Know what?” Jay Park looked between the two of you, and you saw that the entire room, including the help, had been looking at you guys since you went into the closet. Mark spoke first. “It’s nothing. We’ll talk after we get up to the rooms.”

“So what was Mark talking about?” Jisung slumped onto the bed, inching to your side. You sat up, whispering everything that Mark had told you into his ear. He seemed to take everything in, contemplating your question from before. 

“Is that why you asked to leave?”

“Yeah. This is weird.” 

He fell back onto the pillows and lifted you across his lap, letting you straddle him. You leaned over, letting him kiss you. 

Hyunjin gagged from across the room. “We’re in here too, just letting you know.”

“Yeah, sharing is caring y/n.” Felix nodded, agreeing with Hyunjin. 

“That’s... not even close to what I meant, and ew, Felix, what?”

“Alright, alright. I think what everyone wants to know is what was Mark tryna tell you?” Changbin sat on his bed. You retold them what you had just told Jisung, explaining that it was probably in their favor to stay in a single room. 

“Y/n, you realize that there are 28 people here.”

“Jeongin, this room is big enough to fit 50.”

“Touché.”

The door opened and Mark popped his head in. “Are we all caught up?”

Minho opened the door, revealing everyone else in the hallway. “Yeah, come in.”

As soon as everyone was settled, either on the floor or one of the ten king-sized beds around the room, Jisung and Jae began talking rapidly. “So our move is to get picked off in front of the group so that the rest of us can see who it is, right?” 

“Jae, please, for the love of God, just listen to the smart people.” Wonpil pinched his nose bridge, trying not to scream again.

“I think it’s more like, bigger groups ensure safety. No one’s getting in or out, and several people can stay awake while others are asleep.” You nodded at your boyfriend approvingly, happy with his normal explanation. It was a foolproof plan, which was why it was weird that you woke up to a completely empty room when you woke up.

“What the heck?” You followed the clattering noises downstairs and saw Jinyoung Park making waffles for the guys. Not the one who had backed you up after Jackson Wang said that you should have been on the third watch to take his place. 

“Oh, hi y/n, grab a plate.”

“Can someone please explain what’s going on?” Your boyfriend looked up from his plate, mouth full.

“Oh, morning babe. Apparently, he set this all up so that we could all meet up. Even the 2PM guys showed up. Funny, right? This must’ve cost a fortune to set up.”

“It actually did, the lawyer actor was actually Rain. Funny how you guys didn’t notice.”

“Have you lost your damn mind!?” Your jaw dropped.

“Maybe a little hehe, here.” The waffle he handed out to you got intercepted and quickly devoured by Jisung. Mark and the other Jinyoung mirrored your horrified yet relieved expression, sitting silently in the corner.

“Alright, hand me a mug. I need coffee.”

Bts paved the way for kpop idc what anyone says no one cared about kpop until BTS

I beg to differ, maybe for the late 2010′s and performing at award shows but not for kpop as a whole. However, this is always going to be a topic that always going to be two sided. And I full on respect your opinion, because I can see where its coming from. 

I’ve always felt like kpop was just a sub genre like a lot of other music, while its not mainstream and US artist will always have the upperhand in their home country kpop has a large enough following in the US, its just like that time were J-rock and J-pop was huge… btw does anyone remember Puffy AmiYumi?

I think the reason as to why it really looks like they were the ones who paved the way for kpop is because of the social media and fandom culture we have now, from 2005-2014 social media culture wasn’t like what it is today, I’m not even talking about fan interaction either, because I feel like there was way more fan interaction on twitter from the B.A.P members. 

Lets see the timeline of kpop/korean artist making headlines in America 

2005

Rain made headlines for being the first ever Korean artist to perform outside of Asia. He was also the first Korean artist to perform in the US, and let alone do a 2 hour concert. It’s one of the biggest Korean concert that was held in NYC. It even featured Pi Diddy, Omarion, and JoJo Levesque. This was the initial foot print that the hallyu wave had outside of Asia 

2006

Rain made headlines for because Time magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, to that Stephen Colbert invited him on his show and they did a parody of Way to Avoid the sun.

SNSD had their American debut 

Wonder Girls made a American movie and JYP was featured in it (i know.. its cheesy)

This is the year of B.A.P’s debut where their debut album made it into the the World Album Chart at number 10 which was extremely rare at the time considering they didn’t even have a kpop section yet. 

Bigbang was on the Grammy’s front page twice 

Bigbang’s Alive world tour was the only full on sold out Kpop concert at the time, selling out not only in NA but SA and Europe, and were forced to add extra dates because the demand was extremely high, not to mention celebrities were showing up left and right to their tour stops 

This year was also Psy’s year which did bring attention to kpop and YG ent… regardless if Gangnam Style is a joke or not

The first Kcon was created 

GD also got international attention by showing up at PFW12

Hyukoh x Beats by Dre

Hyukoh was interviewed by Beats1

Taeyang got international attention for just getting married 

I would go more into detail by just tweeting about kpop but thats too much work to look for, kpop is a fad and it comes and goes. I kind of like what Hyukoh said about the whole Hallyu Wave/BTS thing they said “I think it’s really interesting and it’s fun to watch. Because of it, I think in some aspects were are benefitting from it, that’s really great. But nothing is forever, there will be some point when K-pop won’t be as popular. But because we’re not K-pop, I hope we stay popular even when K-pop is not.“

BTS did not start the hallyu wave, nor did they pave they way. They were just the first to walk on that new path which then inspired more to do the same and they were the first to win fandom based awards.

No matter what this will always be a topic is where some OG and new kpop fans clash, so yes, BTS is helping the Hallyu wave but they didn’t create the fad. I think the real Hallyu wave starter is Rain

Mafia Life Ship

@arjh97 I hope you liked your ship! I didn’t reread it so keep that in mind lol

How did you get into it: Classic case of wrong place, wrong time 🤷‍♀️ You saw something you shouldn’t have and naturally it was join or die. Turns out the person who took you was apart of the SM empire, more specifically the Red Velvet part of SM. Her name was Irene and let me tell you, she is one scary lady. It was only a act though and as you got closer with and the rest of the girls, her hard shell soon broke a little.

Out of all the girls though, you were the closest to Joy. She was honestly your best friend and really helped you transition from living a normal life to a mafia life. You really appreciated everything she had done for you.

You also were really close to a different branch of SM called NCT 127. Especially the leader and his right hand man, Taeyong and Jaehyun. Whenever you got the chance, the two of you would hang out. Since Taeyong was the leader of 127 and always had important business stuff to do, Jaehyun and you hung out a lot together and became very close. Honestly, you had a huge crush on Jaehyun but nobody need to know that(oh who am I kidding? Everyone knew, you didn’t even have to say anything. Well, you did tell Taeyong and Joy but everyone else didn’t need to be told to figure out that you both liked each other)

So after a good bit of training, you finally had your first mission! So it was really simple, you all would go in to this club owned by BTS and try to catch the eye of one of the members, seduce, get some info, and leave. Simple. The only thing is, the six of you didn’t know who was going to be the one to catch the eye of a member, if any of you did. Anyway, you guys walked in and immediately spotted them sitting in the section closed off. It was raised a little higher than the rest of the club.

Honestly they didn’t even need to be physically higher than everyone else, they just radiated power. So you guys split off into three and three. Joy, Yeri, and you went to go sit at the bar which was kind of close to where BTS sat while Seulgi, Irene, and Wendy went to go dance(you guys switched what you were doing every once in awhile). Annnnyway, the night progressed and still nothing. Well, that was until you made eye contact with one of the members. If you remembered correctly from the files you had looked over before the mission, his name was Jeon Jungkook. He had a smirk on his face as he took a sip from his drink, staring at you as if you were a piece of meat. You tore your eyes off of him and looked over at Joy and Yeri.

“This mission may not have been a fail,” Joy yelled over the music as she caught the exchange between Jungkook and you.

“What?” Yeri asked, completely oblivious. 

Joy gave her a blank look as she hit the back of her head (like how a sibling would/a friend...not really hard).

“How did you miss that?”

So the night continue you Jungkook staring at you and you staring back. That was until you had to use the bathroom. You excused and left, feeling a burning gaze on you the entire way. After you did what you had to do, you exited the bathroom, only to knock into a hard chest.

“Oh I’m so sorry,” You apologized before looking up, locking eyes with the devil himself.

“That’s alright sweetheart,” he purred out, taking a strand of your hair and twirling it with his fingers. You stood frozen, not knowing what to do.

“If you really are sorry though, you could make it up to me,” he suggested, pulling you closer.

“Okay,” you whispered out, not really knowing what to do. Jungkook pulled you in for a heated kiss. After a few seconds, you pulled away breathless.

“Why don’t we go somewhere more private baby girl?” He asked but it wasn’t really a question. 

As he pulled you a way, you secretly put on this type of “lip gloss” that if someone where to kiss you, they would pass out in a few seconds(I hope this makes sense) So he pulled you into this one room and you started making out and then he was out like a light. After carefully pulling off the lip crap you sent text a Joy and began to snoop around for any important info. After about a minuet the rest of Red Velvet showed up and you all began to look around the room(you tied up Jungkook btw). So that was that and then you guys left, you found some good info woohoo! But you got out of these hella quick XD

So.....it’s been a couple of weeks since your first mission. Good news, you’ve gone on a few more and they were successful. Bad news, Jungkook is obsessed with you (:( Somehow, BTS knows where you’re going to be before you even knew. It was almost as if there was a rat in SM....SoOoO since you thought it was weird, you decided to talk to Jaehyun about everything. He didn’t really know what was going on with Jungkook but when you told him.....let me just say, home boi was mad. Legit was about to go find Jungkook and kill him. Of course, you didn’t let that happen. If his rage though he might have accidentally told you that he loved you and you might have accidentally told him you loved him too. Idk though, the world may never know 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Just joking, you both confessed blah blah sappy stuff blah blah kiss blah blah. So you and Jaehyun made it official 🤪🤙

Surprise, surprise Jungkook found out 🤡 And let me tell you, he was pissed. He shouldn’t have been,,,,,,but he was. In his mind you were his and no one else was allowed to have you. So that leads us to now. Currently a “war” was going on. It was BTS, TXT, Twice and GOT7(JYP mafia was on there side for some reason. Something about Namjoon being friends with Jackson who was apart of GOT7 or something) against NCT 127, NCT Dream, Red Velvet, and EXO. It was crazy. Lots of action. Honestly, it would have been a great movie.

(I think you know what NCT, EXO, and Red Velvet look like so let’s move on because that’s going to take up a lot of space)

Currently you were with Jaehyun trying to get through the craziness and get to safety but that didn’t seem like that was going to happen anytime soon since Jungkook found the two of you.

“Hello sweetie,” he said with smirk.

You could feel Jaehyun start to shake next to you and honestly you were terrified. Not of jungkook or anything but because of what Jaehyun was going to do to him. You do NOT want to fuck with him and that’s exactly what Jungkook was doing.

“Baby you’re going to have to get to Baekhyun by yourself. Once you get to him, he’ll take you somewhere safe, okay?” He whispered to you. Once you nodded he pulled you in for a kiss(which was a little unnecessary but you know, he had to prove a point) and then you were off.

So.....remember how you said it seemed as if there was a rat in the group? Well, it turns out you were right! Baekhyun was the right 🙃 His cousin was Kim Taehyung and he was secretly working for bighit. So now you sat in some gross building with Baekhyun infront of you while some music softly played.

“I can’t believe you’re a rat,” you mumbled out.

“Yeah, I don’t think anyone would have guessed it was me,” he stared with a small shrug, “It’s not like I did anything extreme anyway.”

He wasn’t wrong. He really didn’t do anything other than tell BTS where you would be 24 fucking 7 so that they could kidnapp you also so Jungkook has his play toy that he wasn’t even in love with, just obsessed with....big difference. Anyway, long story short SM demolished the other Mafias and Jungkook wasn’t as hard as he played off and cracked as soon as his life was threatened. Spilled the beans on Baekhyun and him taking you....that didn’t save him though 🤷‍♀️ So they found you really easily, Baekhyun wasn’t prepared and surrendered real quick. After that night everything went back to normal, well as normal as the mafia life can get. You and Jaehyun continued dating and you continued to go on missions with Red Velvet. Honestly, you were thriving 🤪🤙

Mind giving me K-pop recommendations? Like, what got you into K-pop, who's your favorite, things like that? I want to try listening to it and I wanted to ask you, Kachu! Congrats on 800!! 💖💙

Aww thank you so much dear!!

First of all, Kpop is not just simply pop music, as the name suggests. Within the genre kpop are actually many different genres of music mingled and there’s something nice for (almost) everyone to find. I’ll give you some information about my favourite groups that might help you find what you could like. I will also link mostly title songs as they are the more popular songs and usually have a music video (kpop music videos are always very aesthetic btw).

Starting off with my ultimate favourite group Stray Kids. They are still rookies as they debuted in March 2018 but I’ve fallen in love with them and their music so much that I highly recommend you checking them out. They are a 9 member boy group with three of those members, Bang Chan, Changbin and Han (knowns as 3RACHA) writing and composing all of their songs. 3RACHA has been releasing pre-debut mixtapes on Souncloud throughout 2017 and if you like hip hop/rap music, you should definitely give them a listen. Some recs are:

Hellevator

District 9

Grow Up (try to listen & read lyrics without crying; you can put on eng sub on the mv)

Voices

My Pace

Awkward Silence

I am YOU

Get Cool

M.I.A

Mixtape#3 ‘For You’

Mixtape#1 ‘Placebo’ (my favourite songs of theirs)

Mixtape#2 ‘Even a shadow needs light to exist’

note: The songs with a ‘mixtape’ in front of them mean that they were originally  track 3RACHA released in one of their mixtapes but they’ve been alternated and remastered into a ot9 Stray Kids version

Some 3RACHA songs:

ZONE

Start Line

Matryoshka

Broken Compass

NXT 2 U

Tik Tok

P.A.C.E

Placebo (I love the original version as well)

For You (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)

Runners High

MONSTA X is another one of my favourites and it was actually thanks to their song Hero that I got into kpop. It’s a great song with a beautiful music video and I highly recommend it. Their songs are usually very powerful bangers to get hyped to. Some song I recommend are:

Hero

All in

Stuck

Shine Forever

Beautiful

Fighter

Jealousy

Dramarama

Newton

Shoot Out

Another favourite of mine is BTS. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of them already. They’ve been around for a while and gained worldwide a lot of popularity in 2017. They’ve changed their music style over the years but it shows that their music has grown with them. Some recs are:

I NEED U

Dope

Run

Fire

Save Me

Blood, Sweat & Tears

Spring Day

Not Today

DNA (their most famous song I believe but not their best imo)

MIC Drop

FAKE LOVE

IDOL

I’m Fine

Don’t Leave Me

Another group I definitely cannot miss is Seventeen. Their name is misleading since they are actually only 13 members not 17 (it’s still a lot though). The group is split into 3 sub-units, Hip Hop Team, Vocal Team, and Performance Team with each of those teams having a leader. The three leaders also created a SVT Leaders unit for their song Change Up. They mainly release ot13 songs with one of their members, called Woozi, being the main composer but they also released songs in their respective units. Some recs are:

Boom Boom

Check-In (Hip Hop Team)

Highlight (Performance Team)

Don’t Wanna Cry

Change Up (SVT Leaders)

Pinwheel (Vocal Team)

Clap

THANKS

Oh My!

Call Call Call

Getting Closer

bonus: Just Do It (by BSS a new sub-unit consisting of three members, however they only released this song so far)

Got7 is a groups under JYP entertainment just like Stray Kids and they are their seniors since Got7 has been around since 2014. They also have great music I highly recommend checking out:

Hard Carry

Never Ever

You Are

Look

Lullaby

Miracle

Day6 is under JYP entertainment as well but they are a bit different from the usual Kpop group since they are actually a band and play their own instruments. If you like rock music, I highly recommend them!!

Shoot Me

Beautiful Feeling

Somehow

DANCE DANCE

I Wait

How Can I Say

Congratulations

and since we’re already talking about about rock music, here’s some more groups whose music goes into the direction of rock to check out:

The Rose - BABY, Sorry

FT ISLAND - Take Me Now, Pray, Out Of Love, Lose, Hello Hello, Wind

Dreamcatcher - Chase Me, Good Night, Fly High, YOU AND I, What

EXO is a group that has been around since 2012 and even though they haven’t been very active lately, they still got a lot of bops that you could check out. They are under SM entertainment just like the next three groups I’m about to mention:

Overdose

Call Me Baby

Love Me Right

Lightsaber

Monster

Lotto

Ko Ko Bop

The Eve

Tempo

Love Shot

NCT are another group under SM. Their concept is a bit difficult because they are said to have an unlimited member count and they will be debuting more and more sub-units. NCT (as a whole) consist of 21 members as of now with 3 already existing units called NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT Dream and a fourth unit called WayV that is said to debut this month. Some recs are:

NCT U:

The 7th Sense

BOSS

Baby Don’t Stop

NCT 127:

Limitless

Cherry Bomb

Chain

TOUCH

Regular

Simon Says

NCT Dream:

We Young

GO

We Go Up

Red Velvet and Oh!GG are two girl groups under SM Entertainment. They are both really nice and worth checking out. OH!GG is actually a sub-unit from the girl group Girl’s Generation, one of the most popular girl groups of the 2nd Generation. I hope I’m not messing up rn with the info lol. And Red Velvet is currently one of the big three girl groups.

Red Velvet:

Dumb Dumb

Ice Cream Cake

Russian Roulette

Red Flavor

Peek-A-Boo

Bad Boy (love this so much)

Really Bad Boy (what a bop)

OH!GG:

Lil’ Touch

Twice and Blackpink are the last two girl groups I’ll be introducing to you. They are the other two of the big three girl groups alongside Red Velvet and are very successful and definitely worth checking out:

Twice, an example of a cute girl group:

Likey

TT

What Is Love?

Dance The Night Away

YES or YES

BlackPink, an example of a badass girl group:

Boombayah

Whistle

Playing With Fire

Stay

As If It’s Your Last

DDU-DU DDU-DU

The last group I’ll be mentioning is Big Bang, they are the Kings of the 2nd Generation of Kpop (if I didn’t misunderstand the whole generation stuff) and they released A LOT of great songs since they’ve been around since 2006. here are some recs I really like:

Bang Bang Bang

FXXK IT

Sober

Last Dance

Fantastic Baby

Let’s Not Fall In Love

GOOD BOY (GD x Taeyang)

Last but not least, I’ll list you some more songs from girl/boy groups and solo artists that I really like and find worth checking out. However, I try to keep it on the down-low since I could recommend and huge amount of songs.^^

Boy Groups:

iKON - Love Scenario, Killing Me, Bling Bling, B-Day

WINNER - REALLY REALLY, EVERYDAY

VAV - Senorita

TRCNG - UTOPIA (one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard)

VIXX - Fantasy

Girl Groups:

Jennie (member of BlackPink) - SOLO

Taemin (member of SHINee) - MOVE, Thirsty, Sayonara Hitori

This probably sounds confusing and like a whole lot, but don’t worry!! The main thing right now is that you find some songs to check out and the rest is some additional info to help you decide what to check out since it’s a lot.^^

🎤 DAY6 Youth Tour in Manila 2018 Experience

October 6, 2018 - 3 months late but all the feels during the concert is still alive and kicking! I just can’t fully put into the words on how to explain about the whole concert. I’m literally.. speechless. Anyway, this is the day that marks my first ever concert under the JYP Entertainment label. In the past, I’ve only went to K-Pop artists’ concerts under the YG Entertainment (cause I’m reallyyyy a YG Stan from the start).

This time, I have witnessed a very good artist by the name of DAY6. They are not your ordinary K-pop group since they are a band consisting of 5 members namely: Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon. Each member has an instrument they are good at and also everyone sings (although Dowoon is new to singing and I believe is starting to have vocal lessons.)

DAY6 Youth Tour in Manila was instantly sold out during the ticketing day. I was relieved and thankful that my friends and I got tickets for their concert. The concert was held at KIA Theater in Cubao, Quezon City and started at 7 in the evening and ended at around 10 o’clock.

The day actually started by having to wait in a very very long line to be able to get our wrist band and another line for our sequence number as we enter the venue. If I’m not mistaken, I think it took as about 3 hours until we were able to be inside Kia Theater. Thus, once entered, I have no decent photo with the “Youth” sign since we were in the standing area, having a little bit of sore legs, and all the excitement feeling we had.

BTW, this is again another first time for me to be in the standing area. I’ve always been choosing seated area since I don’t really like being “squeezed” in a crowded area.

The band started the night with the songs: "I Smile," "First Time," and "Better, Better."

The crowd cheers as the group finished their first set. YoungK even said, “Manila, I heard you guys are great singers. I heard you guys know how to sing.” which made MyDays cheered louder.

The concert continued with the songs, “Say Wow,” “Pouring,” and “Somehow.” The feeling of all of us was literally “in the moment” of watching DAY6  perform before our eyes.

In between I think I heard Wonpil said, “Mabuhay Philippines! Ako si Wonpil. So... so hot today.”

Next songs were: “I Need Somebody,” “I Wait,” “How Can I Say,” followed by “Like That Sun.”

Everyone were extremely screaming when YoungK said, “You guys are amazing, incredible, sensational, spectacular, unbelievable. Thanks to you guys I feel really happy." Well, who wouldn’t scream, right?

More songs were played by DAY6 and it were “Be Lazy,” “DANCE DANCE,” and “What Can I Do.”

“WARNING,” “I'm Serious, “Talking To” were up next in the band’s setlist.

A little pause from all those singing to be able to talk to the fans. Jae started talking how sweaty his shirt is.

Jae: "I dont think my shirt has ever been this sweaty. You want me to take it off?"

Fans were chanting to take his shirt and Jae was like taking it off but didn’t do it. He was just teasing us! 🤣

YoungK spoke next said, “My shirt was always like this.. “ as he was referring about his sweaty shirt.

Wonpil mentioned that the food in the Philippines is delicious and then the crowd shouted “Jollibee! Jollibee! Jollibee!” Wonpil asked, “What’s Jollibee?” YoungK even asked, "you guys hungry?" And the added, "ME TOO!!"

I’m really amazed how DAY6 can perform almost non-stop but still give an amazing performance. No regrets in supporting the band. 💙

“Shoot Me,” and “Congratulations” were performed next. The fan chant for “Shoot Me” was beyond amazing since we actually sang the song with DAY6.

“Congratulations” was the song all MyDays were singing while DAY6 were playing their instruments. I also think I heard Jae say, “Beautiful“ as MyDays were singing the song.

Everyone was singing along with “You Were Beautiful,” “I Loved You,” and “I Like You.” After, Wonpil said that Filipinos are great singers.

DAY6 were hinting that the show was almost over then the crowd shouted, “walang uuwi (no one will go home).” The boys didn’t know what it means but Dowoon started playing drums with its rhythm and the others were like chanting/sang along with MyDays while saying “walang uuwi. 😂 🤣

Next song played was “Letting Go.” Jae mentioned that MyDays are beautiful - “ang ganda niyo.” Sungjin even said “mamimiss ko kayo.” The boys promised to come back in Manila.

A video was being played which is the fan project for DAY6. The video has “Beautiful Feeling” as its background music which I think is very very right with how everyone feels during that night.

Here’s the official VCR for the Fan Project:

©️ MyDays PH

After watching the fan project, DAY6 got so emotional about it and I think they were speechless during that time. The crowd were cheering “DAY6″ continuously as to show how we truly love and support them.

JAE: “I know, I know you guys have been waiting. First of, we're sorry we can't come by earlier. But, I'm so sure we're coming back to Manila. And uhmm, thanks!

I think today, was a big event for us and if you don't mind we'll go one by one to just kind of tell how we feel today. Okay, Wonpil.”

WONPIL: “So today we are finally able to perform here in the Philippines. We always thought to ourselves when will we able to come here in the Philippines and I'm so happy that we are able to perform with a hot passion from you guys. You guys are actually more than what we expected. We heard you guys actually scream from behind the scenes before we start the whole show. So I think because of that we were able to perform our very first song with a great energy.

I'm so happy we were able to perform here in the Philippines even if the Philippines is quite far from Korea. Also the fact you guys are supporting us from here is really thankful, and I'm very thankful for you guys.

I think we're going back to Korea with great memories made here and just like the title, "Youth," we are in our youth right now so I hope you guys will all have a great youth. And also, I think that we will be able to end this concert well. Mahal ko kayo!”

YOUNGK: "So it was a great honor and pleasure to hold a concert in front of you guys, Philippines, Manila. And what I felt today was like Wonpil said, even before, even from the beginning. No not even the beginning, before the beginning you guys were singing along, right? And one of the songs that I could here the loudest, “Geureol Tende” (I Would). Oh man, I was excited even at the backstage and just like Wonpil said, you guys are more than what we expected, you guys were amazing. It's just a pleasure to just sing in front of these amazing people. And I feel like every time I feel this pleasure or like this "thankfulness," I feel like I should work harder. So basically, you guys are my motivation.

So, how was today? Even though they were sad songs. Are you guys happy? Are you guys as happy as I am? (crowd says YES!) Then I guess this show is a success. And that's all I ask for, that's all I wish for. By singing in front of you guys, if you guys can feel happy, if you guys could go home. There's a line in DANCE DANCE, (speaks the Korean lyrics).

Can you please translate? (referring to the Korean translator)

"If you go home you will be satisfied for you won't forget this feeling."Are you guys gonna do that for me? (The crowd cheers, YES!)

Okay, then we will be back! Thank you Manila! Thank you and salamat po!"

DOWOON: My first time Philippines. Thank you for good memory.

This is our first time in the Philippines, right? So we were kinda worried and nervous that we might not do well here in the Philippines. But I realized I did not need to worry because you guys enjoyed so much.

Thank you all for coming tonight! Sobrang saya ng gabing ito. Tama ba? (Tonight is so much fun. Is it right?) Thank you!

SUNGJIN: First of all, I'd like to say sorry for making you guys wait a lot. When I first saw your phrase, the one you are holding up, something came up to my mind right away. Even if we have been loved for a long time, we are worth it. You guys are so worth it to be loved.

Just like what Dowoon said a while ago, we were quite nervous and worried for this concert but because of you guys were able to perform well.

So thank you so much! So until the next time, it won't take that long. Let's see each other again! Thank you!

JAE: It's really.. It's been an amazing night with all. And I have reasons to come here cause all my music inspiration are from here. Uhm you guys know, AJ Rafael? Anyway, I kinda grow up doing music through YouTube and I learned a lot from artists that are from here. And I just want to thank you guys, thank Manila, thank Philippines for giving me music pretty much.

So thank you for that and I mean like we all say before, we're really sorry we couldn't come earlier. We really want to, honestly wanted to.

The food here is good. What did I eat? Yesterday I had, I don't know if I pronounce it right but.. I looked it up, I looked it up before I came. I was like, "I gotta have, gotta have lechon." It was really really great. You guys have amazing food here.

Overall, guys I don't think I have ever sing that much, as in ever in my entire life. It was an amazing intense night. Also I think, I ever not sing the first part of "You Were Beautiful." But you guys were so loud and so beautiful, I couldn't. I just can't.Overall, tonight, I got a message for everybody, "Ang ganda niyo!" (You are beautiful)

Their words were very touching that really made every MyDay teary-eyed. DAY6 mentioned that they really wanted to come to Manila even before and were very thankful for the warm welcome for them.

Afterwards, Sungjin invited everyone to take a photo with the banner we were holding saying, “The wait was long, but you were worth it”.

Crowd were cheering for DAY6′s encore. The band sang last three songs which were “Wish,” “Freely,” and “Sing Me.”

The boys were extra hyper during the encore that even Sungjin and Jae went closer to the crowd. Lucky lucky fans who had close encounter with them! 😭

The show ended at around 10 in the evening, having 3-hour concert. I really am just at awe how good they are at performing live. 😍 I felt DAY6 is just so awesome that they deserve every recognition and future awards they’ll received. 😭

Compiled some short clips I had during the concert, and feel free to watch it.

SETLIST

I Smile First Time Better Better Whatever! Say Wow Pouring Somehow I Need Somebody I Wait How Can I Say Like That Sun Be Lazy DANCE DANCE What Can I Do WARNING! I'm Serious Talking To Shoot Me Congratulations You Were Beautiful I Loved You I Like You Letting Go Beautiful Feeling (Fan Project)

ENCORE Wish Freely Sing Me

Even though it has been three months already, the lyrics mentioned by YoungK is still true and I repeat: "If you go home you will be satisfied for you won't forget this feeling." I think I won’t forget the feeling during that night ever. To DAY6, I might be a newbie but you are so worth it in every aspect. Again, the wait was long, but you are worth it.

Fondness//Jaehyun Scenario

Title: Fondness//Jaehyun Scenario

Word Count: 5040

Request: (@tamtamloveschanyeol) Nct 127 is placed on a collab stage with you and Jaehyun knows you have a crush on him and he finds it adorable how you're nervous and all and turns out he likes you too omg I'm blushing thinking about this :3

A/N: So as you can see by the word count, I kind of way a bit crazy with this one? I know its not amazing, but I did my best to follow the request in a nice way! Also, Y/N’s group members are all people in JYP, but they’re not in a group together, they’re just the first names I thought of! Anyways, thank you so much for this request and I’m sorry it took me so long to post it (btw sorry if the end is a bit cheesy)! If you guys like it, please feel free to check out my masterlists and request fake texts or scenarios for any of the 4 groups I write for! Thank you so much, and enjoy! 

_______________________________________________________________________

You feel your palms begin to sweat as you and the rest of your group members await the news of which group you will be participating in a collab stage with. The girl group you debuted in about a year ago under JYP Entertainment has been growing in popularity ever since the name was first announced, so it was no surprise when you were contacted by an entertainment network and asked to participate in a collab stage for the upcoming award show. Since you guys were still rookies, you and your three other members couldn’t help but feel extremely nervous about performing with another group. The door opens, breaking you out of your thoughts. You and your members immediately turn to the excited face of your manager.

“So girls, I’ve just received word from the entertainment company, and you’ll be performing with SM Entertainment’s rookie boy group Nct 127!” Your manager says with a smile. The beating of your heart increased rapidly as soon as you heard the name. Everyone knows how talented and highly looked upon SM groups are, and the fact that you would be performing with their new rookie group is terrifying. Especially when you yourself are such a big fan of the group.

“You guys know of them, right?” Your manager asks once you are all past your initial shock.

“Know of them? We love them! Especially, Y/N!” One of the members of your group says smirking at you.

“Lovely! You guys will be meeting up with them later today to discuss the expectations that need to be met for your stage together.” Your manager says, before leaving you four girls alone in the room. 

Your best friend in the group, Jimin, immediately runs over and pulls you out of your seat. “Y/N! I can’t believe we’re doing a collab stage with your favorite boy group! How does this even happen?”

“I have no idea, but I think I’m going to be sick.” You say, already feeling the butterflies exploding in your stomach.

“What why? Shouldn’t you be excited?” Yerin, another one of your group members, asks concerned. 

“I am excited! But I just know i’m going to act super nervous and be all  embarrassing around them!”

“Awe come on Y/N, no you won’t! You have such a great personality! Just be yourself and I’m sure they’ll love you!”

~

The red from your hands shocks you, as you look down and realize just how tightly you were gripping them. You, Jimin, Yerin, and Somi have just arrived at the SM building, and you couldn’t be more nervous. Your manager leads the way, as the four of you whisper amongst yourselves over what the boys will be like.

“I can’t wait to meet them! I hope they’re nice!” Somi, the groups maknae says optimistically.

“I’m sure they will be.” Yerin replies, staying back to talk to her more, leaving you and Jimin together.

“Y/N you really shouldn’t be this nervous! I’m sure they’ll like you! And if worst comes to worst, it’s just a collab stage!” Jimin says, wrapping her arm around you comfortingly.

“I know, but I just can’t help it. They’re my favorite group, and this is such an amazing opportunity. I don’t wanna mess it up because I can’t get my feels in check!” You laugh, trying to calm down.

“You won’t. Now just take a deep breath, and let’s do this.”

Your heart sounds like a drum as your manager knocks on the door of the Nct 127 boys. The door is opened by an older man, who you all assume to be the boys manager. A few words are shared and suddenly you’re welcomed in and met with the stares of the 9 Nct 127 boys. The floor becomes your line of sight as you try your hardest not to make eye contact with anyone. Sensing your nerves, Jimin discreetly reaches over and rubs your arm quick. 

“Girls, these are the Nct boys you will be doing a collaboration stage with. Together, you guys will cover and dance to the song given by the network. Now since there are nine guys and only four girls, the four of you will alternate dance partners throughout the performance while the rest of the guys will dance in the background. Now listen closely, because these are the boys you will be alternating with. Somi, you will be with Mark and Haechan. Yerin, you will be with Taeil and Winwin. Jimin, you will be with Doyoung and Yuta, And Y/N since it’s and odd number and you’re our main vocalist, you’ll be with the last three members, Jaehyun, Johnny, and Taeyong. We’re not going to be doing any practicing today, today is just going to be for getting to know your dance partners.”

You look and Jimin and practically beg for her help with your eyes because you feel as if you’re going to explode. Of course you just so happened to get paired with not only three members, but your bias. You have absolutely no idea how you’re gonna pull yourself together in front of Jaehyun, but you know you have to do it for the sake of your group.

“Girls, if you don’t mind, please just do a quick introduction so the boys know which one of you to approach.” Their manager says.

Yerin, the leader of your group, quickly takes the lead and starts off the introduction. “Hi, I’m Yerin, the leader of the group.” Jimin introduces herself next, then Somi, and before you know it, you’re up next. “Hi i’m Y/N, the main vocalist of the group.”

“Ok great! Boys, please go to your respective partners and get to know them the best you can. You should be comfortable with each other in order to create the best performance you can.” Nct’s manager finishes.

The first to approach you is Johnny, which isn’t surprising to you since he is known for how friendly he is. “Hi Y/N, I’m Johnny. I’m actually a huge fan of your group and it’s a pleasure to meet you! I hope that we’ll perform well together!” Johnny bows, and you immediately return it. “It’s so nice to meet you! I’m actually a big fan of you guys too.” You smile nervously, hoping that he can’t tell. 

However, before Johnny has a chance to reply, Jaehyun says, “Oh really? That’s awesome! It’s a pleasure to meet you Y/N, I’m Nct 127′s Jaehyun.” The beating of your heart increases so much, you feel as if you’re going to explode. Jaehyun, the idol you have a crush on, is right in front of you introducing himself to you. You somehow gather the strength to bow and greet him back. 

“It’s a pleasure to meet you too!” You reply, cringing slightly at how much excitement was present in your voice. Silently praying that he didn’t notice, you look back up at him to see a slight smirk present on his lips. However, once again he is unable to reply because the three of you are approached by Taeyong. 

“Hi Y/N, I’m Nct 127′s leader Taeyong! We are very excited to be given the honor of doing a collaboration stage with your group!” He says with his perfect leader smile, and you swear you almost swoon. 

“Same here! I’m sure we’re going to have an amazing time working together!” You reply with as much confidence as you can muster. 

“I agree! So, why don’t we go sit down somewhere so that the four of us can talk for a bit and get comfortable with each other?” Taeyong asks, immediately taking the lead, which you are extremely thankful for. No wonder all of his fans call him the best leader. The three of you follow Taeyong to the final open corner of the tiny practice room and sit in a little circle.

“Ok, why does this feel like we’re introducing ourselves in kindergarten or something?” Johnny says immediately, before awkward tension can arise. You laugh at his statement and reply, “Yeah you’re right! Let’s try not to be awkward with each other so that we can perform the best stage possible!” 

“Well, we already know a lot about each other, so why don’t you tell us about you Y/N?” Taeyong asks, looking over at you sincerely.

Sitting in this tiny circle with three of the perfect nct 127 boys looking at you immediately ignites your nerves again.

“Don’t worry Y/N! You don’t have to be nervous around us! We don’t bite I promise!” Jaehyun says with almost a smirk, and you then understand that he could tell how nervous you were when he arrived before.

Taking a deep breath and giving yourself a little inner mind pep talk, you start to talk a little bit about yourself. “Well, I’ve loved singing and dancing ever since I was little, and my family and friends always told me I should audition for an idol company. So, I auditioned for JYP around two years ago, and was lucky enough to debut after only training for a year! It was a little tough at first because of my speaking English, but my best friend, Jimin, helped me through a lot since she also speaks it. My group members and I are thankfully very close too, so so far it’s been such an incredible experience, and I can’t imagine myself doing anything else, with anyone else.” You finish with a smile, hoping that you didn’t sound stupid with such a bland answer.

“That’s cool! I’m from Chicago, so I’m also fluent in English!” Johnny says with a smile, and you automatically smile back as if you didn’t already know that about him.

“That’s awesome! I’ve always thought it’d be cool to visit Chicago sometime!” You respond politely.

“And I lived in America for four years, so I know a bit of English myself!” Jaehyun says with his breathtaking smile, and you’re honestly surprised you don’t faint.

Before you get to respond, your manager calls out and says that it’s time for you girls to leave because you have a schedule. 

“Awe, well that wasn’t very long at all.” Taeyong says, with what you think is the cutest pout you’ve ever seen.

“Yeah I know.” You say with a pout of your own. 

“How about we exchange numbers so we get to know each other a bit more before our first practice tomorrow? We can make a groupchat or something!” Johnny suggests. All four of you agree, so you give Johnny your number to create the chat, and say your goodbyes. 

“Well, it was really nice to meet you guys, and I can’t wait to get to know you better and create an amazing performance!” You say standing up and bowing.

“Same with you Y/N! Johnny will make the group chat and we will text as soon as possible ok!” Taeyong smiles at you. 

“Sounds good! See you all tomorrow!” You smile with your cheeks at a burning temperature. 

You scurry off to the rest of your group, and little did you know, Jaehyun was watching you nervously race back to your friends and thinking to himself how adorable you were. 

As soon as you get into the car, the four of you start telling stories about the members they were paired with. 

“Mark and Haechan were super nice! It was cool because they’re not too much older than me AND Mark’s from Canada too!” Somi says happily.

“Taeil and Winwin were very sweet too! Taeil was very kind and Winwin was just adorable! I have no idea how it’s possible for a grown guy to be adorable, but it is!” Yerin says laughing.

“Yuta and Doyoung were very cute! They bicker a lot, but it’s just funny bickering. Yuta is also a bit of a flirt, but it’s nothing too crazy. What about you Y/N?” Jimin smirks, immediately putting all of the attention on you.

“I honestly think I held myself together pretty well! Johnny and Jaehyun both speak English, so that’s awesome! And Taeyong was so sweet! Although, I’m pretty sure Jaehyun noticed how nervous I was around him.” You say with an embarrassed smile. 

“What do you mean Y/N? I was actually going to say that Jaehyun looked a little bit interested in you!” Jimin says with yet another smirk.

“Um, you’re totally just saying that because you know he’s my bias. What about you with your flirty boy Yuta?” Your refute, without being able to hide your cheeks going red yet again.

“You and I both know that that’s just his personality. But come on Y/N, Jaehyun looked totally smitten with you! Would I ever lie to you?” Jimin asks you jokingly serious. 

“Yes!” You reply laughing.

“Fine, whatever you say. Just keep an eye out tomorrow ok?” Jimin says, actually serious this time. 

“Ok, whatever you say!” Playfully rolling your eyes. Right at that moment, your texting notification noise begins to go off.

“Whose that?” Jimin asks curiously leaning out of her seat to look over at your phone. You both look down to see a number that isn’t saved to your phone put you in a group chat with another two numbers.

Jimin reads the text aloud before you get a chance to. “’Hey Y/N this is Johnny, and the other two numbers are Taeyong and Jaehyun! Let us know when you’re done with your schedule and we can chat later!’ Oh my gosh Y/N! You exchanged numbers and didn’t tell me!” Jimin says, holding her heart playfully and feigning hurt.

“What?? Y/N got their numbers already? Wow they must really like you!” Somi says with a smile, while your face keeps getting closer and closer to reaching the color of a tomato. 

“Y/N! You have to respond! What are you gonna say??” Yerin says leaning in along with the other girls to the point where they’re all huddled over your phone.

“I’m not gonna answer yet, I’ll answer when we finish our schedule!” You say, quickly putting your phone away. 

“Ok whatever! But don’t keep Jaehyun waiting too long!” Jimin winks.

“It’s all of them! Not just Jaehyun!” You say crossing your arms humorously.

“Whatever!” Jimin says with a smile, finally going back to her seat.

~

Before you know it, it’s the next morning and you and your group members are already on your way to the first practice with the Nct boys. You feel at bit more at ease, since you actually ended up texting in the groupchat with Johnny, Taeyong, and Jaehyun for a long time. However, even though you feel calm around the other guys now, speaking to Jaehyun for an extended period of time has only enhanced your feelings for him. You really hope that the practice will go smoothly and that Jaehyun won’t be able to figure out your crush. 

You and the girls arrive at SM building and are immediately whisked into the practice room. As soon as you walk in, Johnny comes over to greet you and leads you over to sit with him, Taeyong, and Jaehyun. You four chat a little bit, but not much is said before the two choreographers enter the room.

“So to start off, we’re going to show you all the entire dance. Then we will separate into groups quickly to learn the basic steps, and then put you all together to dance with your partners.”

You all nod in understanding as you watch the two dancers get into place. Your stomach instantly starts doing flips as you see how sensual the dance is. The two dancers bodies flow together with ease, almost never disconnecting from each other. You clearly see all of the emotion and desire needed to make this song look perfect. Knowing that you’re going to have to do this with three guys from your favorite group makes you extremely nervous. The two finish up showing the dance and everyone claps.

“So now I’m sure you can see why we needed you to be comfortable with your dance partners, since this is a pretty intimate dance. Before we put you all together though, the girls will come with me and the boys will go to him to learn the basic steps!” The lady choreographer says, signaling you four girls over. Jimin, being your best friend, quickly catches on to your nerves over the dance number. She pulls you over and whispers, “It’ll be fine! Don’t worry!”

The basic steps of the dance are learned super fast, and now your being put into positions. You learn that you are going to be dancing the majority of the dance with Jaehyun, which you don’t know whether to take as good or bad news. You want to get to know him better, but you really don’t want to embarrass yourself in front of him. 

“Ok everyone, please get into the starting position we taught you, so we can try running it.” The choreographer says.

Jaehyun comes up behind you and wraps his arms around your waist, gently pulling you into his chest. You lift you hand to lay lightly against his cheek as you wait for the music to start. Both of your hearts are beating heavily, despite the music not having started yet. Jaehyun sneaks a look down at you in his arms and can’t help letting out a little smile. He finds your crush on him so adorable, and he knows he gonna have a lot of fun with it. After what seems like hours but was merely seconds, the music starts and you and Jaehyun begin to dance together. It may sound cliche, but with the music playing in the background and Jaehyun’s hands on your waist, it felt as if you were the only two in the room. The moment was short lived though, as Jaehyun was quickly switched with Taeyong, who was then switched with Johnny, and then switched again. After dancing with the three of them you were able to tell what experienced dancers they were; although, the only one to make you feel something was Jaehyun. It was as if you could feel the sensual tension coming from the song when you two danced together. 

“That was amazing guys! I can’t believe how quickly you were able to pick it up! Now that we have the steps down, it’s essential that we work on mood, atmosphere, and expression. As I was watching you all, Jaehyun and Y/N really seemed to be in the mood of the song, so I wanted to give props to them! Hopefully as we move forward, the rest of you will be able to get lost in the feeling of the song too. Let’s run it again!” The choreographer finishes, making a blush blossom on your cheeks. 

Had you and Jaehyun really stood out that much? Was it the both of you into it or was it just you? However, before you could answer your own questions, Jaehyun was pulling you into his chest again and whispering in your ear, “Great job dancing before, it sounds like we seem to have a bit of chemistry together.” He smirks and backs away from you ear and you swear you feel your heart skip a beat. You’re at a loss for words, but luckily the music starts up again before you get a chance to respond. What did he mean chemistry? Does he like you too? Or was he just being a flirt? Or does did he mean it a different way entirely? Jaehyun continued to be flirty with you for the rest of the practice, and you really felt like you were going to explode. Where did he get all of this confidence from? I mean he could know you like him, but how would he know that? You only told the girls in your group, and they wouldn’t tell, would they?Nonetheless, by the end of the practice your face was just bright red from the amount you had blushed during the dance. Johnny and Taeyong seemed to be noticing though, because at one point Johnny even asked if you were feeling ok.

When the choreographers finally announced the ending of practice, you ran over to your things in a hurry, not wanting to experience any more embarrassment for the day. Jaehyun, however, noticed how out of it you were because of his flirting. It made him feel all warm inside knowing that he was the one to get you so flustered, and he honestly couldn’t find anyone more adorable. Going out a limb, Jaehyun decided he would push you one step further before you went home for the day. While you were talking to Jimin, about to tell her what went on with you and Jaehyun, Jaehyun comes up next to and wraps his arm around your shoulder, pulling you into his side.

“You’re seriously such an amazing dancer Y/N! I’m so happy that I was chosen to your partner!” He says with a smile. Before you’re able to respond, he discreetly whispers in your ear, “The feeling of my arms wrapped around your waist was amazing too”. You almost choke on air as soon as he says that, and again before you can respond, he let’s go and goes to meet up with his band members innocently.

“I’ll talk to you later Y/N, and see you tomorrow!” He says, and you swear you see him give you a quick wink. You put on the most normal smile you can muster, grab Jimin’s arm, and run to the car.

“Y/N! I told you Jaehyun likes you!” Jimin says excitedly.

“I’m so embarrassed oh my gosh! He was flirting with me the hold time and I just stood there and blushed like an idiot!” You say, holding you face in your hands.

“Guys like it when they can make a girl blush! He probably thought it was cute!” Jimin says. “And what did he whisper to you before we left?!”

“You saw that?” You ask, looking up out of your hands even more embarrassed. 

“Yes I saw that! What did he say? You have to tell me I’m your best friend!” Jimin pleads.

“It was just somethingabouthimlikinghishandsaroundmywaist” you whisper super quick.

“Ok I have no idea what you just said, please say it properly.” She says sternly.

“Ok... he told me he liked the feeling of his arms around my waist...” You said, burying your face in your hands yet again.

“HE WHAT?! OH MY GOSH Y/N!” Jimin basically screams getting the attention of your other two group memebers.

“What happened?” Yerin questions, clearly confused as to why Jimin is screaming.

“Jaehyun whispered to Y/N that he likes the feeling of his hands around her waist!” Jimin squeals, along with the two other girls in the car.

“Oh my gosh really?! He totally likes you!” Somi says excitedly. 

“I don’t know... I was so shocked when he said that I didn’t even have time to respond!” You reply.

“Y/N that’s so cute! He’s treating you like this and it’s only the second day? Just imagine how the rest of this is gonna go!” Jimin says happily.

“He’s just being flirty! He probably doesn’t actually like me!” You say, hiding a smile.

~

Practices with the Nct boys become a daily occurrence for the next two weeks, and before you know it, its the day of the performance. You and Jaehyun have been flirting ever since the first day. Jaehyun’s advances have become much more direct and you have become more confident. You, Jaehyun, Johnny, and Taeyong text in your little group chat daily, and have even hung out outside of practices. You know you guys know this dance like the back of your hands; however, you can’t help but feel nervous. What happens after the performance? Are you groups going to remain friends? Or was it all just an act? You sigh, walking up to the side of backstage you’ll be entering from. Suddenly, two arms wrap around your waist and pull you into the warmth of their body, breaking you out of your thoughts. You don’t even have to turn around to know who it is, since being wrapped in his arms has basically been a daily thing for the past few weeks.

“Hey Jae!” You say with a smile, which you hope doesn’t show your nerves, but you can tell by the look on Jaehyun’s face it does.

“What’s wrong Y/N?” He asks, concerned.

“Oh, I’m just a little nervous, that’s all.” You reply almost shyly.

“Why would you be nervous?” He stops talking for a second to grab your shoulders and turn you towards him. “We all know this dance like the back of our hand, especially you! You’re gonna do incredible, I mean it.” He says with a smile. No matter how many times you see it, his smile never fails to make your heart race. You really hope this isn’t the last time you’ll get to see it.

“Thank you Jaehyun, for everything.” You reply sincerely. Instead of saying anything, Jaehyun pulls you from your position into a tight hug, and you swear you never want to leave this position for anything. If you could stay in Jaehyun’s arms for as long as possible, you’d be happy, and Jaehyun feels the same way.

Jaehyun places his cheek lightly on top of your head and smiles. He can’t believe how much his feelings have grown for you in the past few weeks. Holding you in his arms right now, he couldn’t be any happier. You and Jaehyun’s cute little moment is broken up by a smirking Johnny. 

“Hey guys, I hate to break up this little moment here, but I think we have to get ready to go on stage.” Johnny says walking further up to the side of the stage.

“Well I guess this is it!” You say, pulling out of the hug.

“Don’t worry Y/N, we got this. We’re going to be the best collab stage on this award show.” Jaehyun says. He intertwines his hand with yours and leads you onto the dark stage. Getting into position, he wraps his arms around your waist an pulls you into his chest, and you lay your land lightly against his cheek. The lights turn on and you’re met with a ton of people looking at all of you. The music begins, and you put on your best expression and start to dance.

~

“That was incredible!” You say, hugging your group members as you run off stage.

“Y/N you absolutely killed it!” Jimin says pulling you into another hug.

“Me?? What about you! You we’re incredible!” You say back hugging her even tighter.

The Nct guys come running in next and everyone starts hugging and congratulating each other. First, Johnny comes running at you with his arms open wide and pulls you into a giant hug. “Y/N we did amazing!” He says, with a huge smile on his face.

“I know! I’m so happy it went well! Thank you for being such a great partner and such a great friend!” You say, hugging him back.

“Awe Y/N, you’re too sweet! Same to you!” He says breaking the hug and smiling at you before going to find someone else to congratulate.

The next person to approach you is Taeyong, who also pulls you into a hug. “You did great Y/N! It was so much fun being your one of your partners, and I really hope we get to remain good friends after this.”

“Same here Tae! We can’t let the groupchat die!” You laugh, separating from him.

Last but not least, Jaehyun comes up to you and pulls you into what you think is the tightest hug of your life. “Y/N, I’m so proud of you! I’m so proud of us! We killed that stage!” 

“I know! I don’t know what i was so nervous!” You reply, leaning further into the warmth of his hug.

“Y/N, can I tell you something?” Jaehyun asks into your hair, while still hugging you.

“Of course.” You reply, immediately getting anxious.

“I know you like me.” As soon as the words leave his mouth your eyes widen and you go to pull out of the hug, but his arms keep you secure in your place. “Let me finish.” He says. “I know you like me, but I like you too. More than you like me probably.” 

“What?” You reply, shocked.

“The first day I met you, I thought you were completely adorable. We could all tell how nervous you were to meet us, and I thought it was so cute that you were actually a fan of our group. However, I’m pretty observant, and I was able to pick up on the fact that I made you a bit more nervous than the others did. At first I had no idea why, but then I realized that you had a crush on me. This made me so happy because before we met your group, I looked up a bunch of videos of you guys and quickly took a liking to you. So, I started flirting with you, and everyday we were together I started to like you more and more.” He sighs and finally releases you from his hold. 

“I really like you Y/N. And I don’t want us to stop talking because this stage is over. I actually want us to start talking more. I want to talk to you all the time, I want to go on little dates with you, I want to hang out at the dorms with you, I want to facetime with you! Ok, what I’m trying to say is, I want us to be together. So Y/N, would you be my girlfriend?”

You’re at such a loss for words after his speech that you just throw yourself into his arms and hug him again.

“I’ll take that as a yes?” Jaehyun smiles.

“Yes Jaehyun, I would absolutely love you to be you girlfriend.” You reply, relaxing into his hold as he wraps his arms around you again. Jaehyun places a kiss on top of your head and then relaxes his head on top of yours with a smile.

South Korea Trip 2k16; Day 2 (Seoul)

Hey!

Congrats, you made it to day 2! (LONG OVERDUE SORZ ITS THE 4TH WEEK OF MY SUMMER SEM IM DYING) (update: nah didnt finish it on my 4th week.... i finished this during my sem break... heh)

Instead of visiting historical places there’s one thing I’ve been wanting way before we arrived in Seoul..... Visit K-pop entertainment companies/buildings.

Yes. I’m actually a K-pop fan, probably one of the main reasons why we went there for a holiday djskhdjkhkdhsajkdkhsda. I told my parents that I at least need a day where I can visit as many companies as I can since one day is not enough tbh. My parents agreed that my bro can follow me to while hunting down these buildings while both my mom and dad went to visit other places around Seoul.

I initially wanted to wake up a lil early but as usual, we suck at waking up early so we were kind of behind schedule. We got ready asap and then had breakfast at the Italian restaurant in our hotel called 3 Birds. I would recommend this restaurant but I won’t because of their RUDE staff. They looked like they were forced to be there y’know? They also take away food tooooo quick right on the dot when the buffet is over.... When there are still people picking out food. I get that it’s over but it would be rude to take away all the food while someone’s still picking out their food? No?

Ok after we’re done with breakfast both of us separate. We bought our T-Money card to use for the subway stations a day before so we just went to one of the nearest stations and went to the first place on our list. Before we arrived at our first destination, we stopped by stations halfway to find advertisements of one of my favorite idols. I’m a huge fan of a group called BTS especially one of the vocalists, named Taehyung, stage name V (let’s just call him Taehyung plox). It was his birthday month so many of his fans (or just fansites) put up advertisements for his birthday at selected subway stations around Seoul. We found like 2 that day and wow I didn’t imagine myself seeing it with my own eyes instead of being behind the screen. I’ve always seen pics of Korean fans posting pics of them posing for the ads. It’s just surreal I’m there y’know,,,,, as a fan. As you can see in the photos, I was REALLY happy.

So after the mini photo shoot, we continued on to our first destination. The first destination is actually, Big Hit Entertainment, aka BTS’ company. I felt that I should visit the office at least once in my life since I’m a huge fan. I have realized that many fans are confused on where the hell is the building because it’s very low-key not like YG or SM so to those who need help, I can help y’all with this. However, it’s not very detailed and apparently, Big Hit already moved to a bigger office at Apgugeong??? If I’m not mistaken? But if you’re curious then:

The nearest metro station to the building was Line 3 Sinsa Station so that’s where we stopped.

1. You walk out of Exit 1 of Sinsa station and just walk straight and take a right after 5 blocks. There should be blocks of buildings on your right anyway with small roads going on a small hill.

2. Take the 2nd street on your left and on the 3rd block, you should be able to see Big Hit on your right. 

3. If you’re lost with all these instructions (LIKE I WAS PREVIOUSLY) Google Maps does wonders. I also used Waze but it is based on you using a car. So stick with Google Maps since you’re walking and search ‘Big Hit Entertainment’. Some of the locations they give MIGHT be false so prepare yourself for that.

*It might look lowkey scary going on your own so pls bring someone with you.

Tbh, we almost got lost a few times but eventually, we found our way. We walked a few places and later we found it. Shout out to Google Maps for saving our asses. I’m amazed how we didn’t need to ask anyone to find our way. Bles technology!

OH STORY TIME: I coincidentally bumped into BTS’ manager right in front of us when we were finding Big Hit. 

Yep, that’s right. He’s probably the reason why I could find Big Hit because he was heading that way dsjgdkhjsagydsgkdskks. When we were almost got to Big Hit there was a man with takeaway coffee on his hand. It was still the morning btw so I thought oh some random man going to work. But, I had a good look on his face and I freaked out. Once I saw his face my face just went blank because I recognize his face from somewhere and I straight away knew he was the manager. As an avid fan, I’ve seen HQs & press photos of BTS with their manager so I’m used to seeing his face time to time. So once I saw his face, I almost froze and stopped my bro. My bro was confused and later I explained to him quietly who he was. I kinda took a pic lmao:

So the smartest thing I’ve done after that is to go the other way, completely going to the opposite direction of Big Hit. I didn’t want to make him think of us as some international stalkers or sasaengs. Later when I thought it felt safe, we went to the direction where he went which leads to Big Hit. Surprise surprise, he was gone. He probably went in already so... 

ANYWAYS, as typical tourists we took photos.

What makes it more interesting, some Big Hit staff told us to go away when we didn’t even go in the building or anything.... We just taking photos.... But at the same time... I highkey feel like someone was inside... Possibly BTS? Whatever it is, wow.... I got shooed away by Big Hit staff LMAO.

Moving on, we went back to the train station and arrived at Samseong Station to visit SMTOWN! I feel that almost every kpop fan goes there when they visit Seoul lmao. Wow, I was shocked at how I was actually there and not from photos. Saw cool standees from Baekhyun (exo bias HI), Krystal, and lots more! I too took one of the photo booth photos!!!! leeet

One thing most stans go for is basically.... THE MERCH. I mean other than going for the live concert thingies (which I didn’t bother to go), official merchandise is the best next thing... So obviously if anyone wants to get their fave SM artists’ merch, going to SMTOWN itself is fine, more specifically, their albums. Their albums are reasonably priced so you don’t have to buy it outside in my opinion. Their official merchandise from posters, photobooks, phone cases, even the food are one of a kind. I feel if going to SMTOWN, and you’re an avid fan of EXO, Red Velvet or any other SM artist, just buy them. 

After looking around, we found a halal Indian restaurant called Luna Asia. Ngl, the food was alright. For Muslims, y’all could go for this!

We then took Samseong station again and arrived at Apgujeongrodeo station to go to The Mins! Some might not know, but this cafe is famous for treating some kpop idols, including BTS! (don’t @ me let me live i am an avid fan) So we took exit () and walked all the way down. The Mins was inside so you have to get into the neighborhood to find it. (Better descriptions are in the link I added @ The Mins)

The place was really cute from the outside and inside. OH, I forgot to mention, 2AM’s Changmin owns this cafe! Pretty legit. I also think I might’ve met his parents there too, because I heard that his parents do work there. I only noticed that once I got out of the cafe.... rip.

ANYWAYS, I ordered the Four Berry drink..... aka what BTS usually orders (yes shut up). It was really good anyway.

In the plus side, cool stuff on their walls! BTS posters, and signed albums from many other celebs like SISTAR, Gfriend and lots more! (you can also get to sit where BTS have sat before hehehehhehehe)

Later, we went to K-Star Road to visit all the big figures??? dolls??? idk what to call them. But yeah, we went and obviously had to find BTS’ one.

We were tired af and basically done all we wanted to do (except visiting JYP or YG Entertainment :(((() so we went back to our hotel.

After a few hours of rest in the hotel, we still had energy so we thought of not wasting time by going N Seoul Tower by using the Namsan Cable Car. It was a nice view from the hill but I feel it would be better during daylight?? Since it was winter I think it’ll look prettier during daylight. SORZ FOR NO PHOTO I WAS HALF DEAD THAT NIGHT KSKFKSHFJKSF

Anyways, we found this halal restaurant at this close knit neighborhood in Seoul called Yang Good (Yangguk) and boy...... they had GR8 meat. 11/10 recommended.

OKKKK IM SORRY FOR THIS VERY LONG OVERDUE POST but yes here’s day 2. I’ll try my best to do the other days asap (at least before my new sem starts sigh) BYE GIRLIES ANF GUYLIES!!!!

[youngk93]

Anon Shy Shy Shy it is! Omg thank you so much

My dear 샤샤샤 Let me introduce you to Sungjin, Dowoon and Wonpil of Day6, (in a nutshell) (+Bonus tidbit abt Junhyeok)

While Day6 debut in 09.15 with Congratulations, they’ve been around long as JYP’s “Vocal Group” 5Live for a little bit longer.

5Live had originally 5 members: Sungjin, Jae, “Brian Kang” Younghyun (this is where that started, btw), Wonpil and “Junhyuk” (more popularly romanized as Junhyeok) This is their Predebut Showcase and if you listen at :10 you can hear Jackson from Got7 screaming “화이팅!”  They were active during 2014, though, and released some singles, one especially notable is called Lovely Girl. (it was an OST) Not too much later on, JYP decided to add a member and turn it into a band.

You said you know a little bit about Jae and YoungK, so I’ll skip those, since I’m sure you knew that Jaeyung was on KPOPStar back in 2012, and that YoungK was in 3rdDegree in Toronto,Canada with his friends there.

That leaves us with Sungjin, Wonpil, Junhyeok, and Doswoon Dowoon.

Our Leader Sungjin우리 리더 성진

[The sign he’s wearing is an appropriate play on words for the adjective ‘handsome’ 작생겼진- and his name 성진]

Sungjin is a ball of sunshine wrapped in stress and dad jokes. Accidental meme when he doesn’t intend to. Very organized and very funny. In my opinion, he seems like a younger version of Onew from SHINee, where he seems like a laid back leader, and seems kind of goofy and funny, but he’s taking care of these kids with so much care and precision.  Sungjin loves his bike, whichis named Richard, and said he used to ride it often. He’s named all of his instruments.

When Sungjin gets angry, or stressed his eyes kind of pop out wide and he tends to brush his fingers through his hair a lot (it kills a lot of fangirls in the process) Personal Sungjin story time: at one of the live day concerts I attended, YoungK of all people was enticing fans to ask for an encore of 2 more songs. Sungjin’s eyes got wide and he was like, “You guys first asked for one! Then you got greedy and started going two! three! five! Shall we make it five?” and then when the final song came on, he was brushing his hands through his hair, eyes wide, and he kept saying ,”진짜 마지막, 진!!짜!! 마지막 ” or “This is really the last one, it’s really the last one.”

Sungjin is such a sweetheart and makes sure everyone is set on stage before going and he makes sure everyone cleans up well and goes home well (personal experience, I have no reference for that)

Next up we have WonPil, who is roommates with Sungjin.

우리… ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ (I’m shivering)

I have described Wonpil as 100% Sinshine (sinning sunshine) because he is, quite literally, the best of both worlds. Fans in general will call him the sunshine of the group, and that’s not wrong, but it’s also not completely right. Having met him up close, I had made that same terrible mistake. Wonpil likes to dote on Dowoon a lot, and though they deny it, they’ve slept in the same bed together, even though they’re not roommates. (Don’t worry, if you hear beeps at the beginning of the VAPP video, that’s perfectly normal. It’s just Day6 being Day6 and not knowing how to use VAPP properly. It’ll go away after they realize.) Dowoon tries to deny it but Wonpil is all for it. I see nothing wrong with cuddle times. *shrugs* Their interactions are very genuinely-friend like, and you can tell that they both really care for each other a lot.

Wonpil’s computer also has lots of fansite sitckers on it! To me he seems like the person who care a lot about his fans, and cares generally about everyone’s feelings. Sensitive wonpil, who dresses so very well all of the time. Wears black turtlenecks most of the time.

Wopnil has some powerful vocals, and has a higher tone in his voice, but actually YoungK might be able to hit higher notes than him. Wonpils’ voice is more soft where I feel like YoungK can project his voice more- doesn’t make him any less of a vocalist. Honestly, WP is some gold.

Often also called little pencil as a play on his name. 원필 / 연필

I’ve also heard him curse in a concert before. A few times. It was great. Nobody was expecting fiesty!Pil to come out. Nobody was allowed to film, so I don’t have that reference either. I wonder if it’s on the Day6 concert dvd…ㅋㅋㅋㅋ i doubt it.

My encounters with Wonpil…. omg… ㅋ The first time I went to a live show, Wonpil gave me THIS FACE. He tilted his head back and looked down at me in the crowd (bc he looked at my tol blonde friend first and then he spotted the smol vampire next to her) and he GAVE A SMIRK AND THEN LICKED HIS LIPS and then I was like okAY I’M GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STAGE and that’s how I became a YoungK stan. :) I’m sure he didn’t do it on purpose but that’s what I got, homie.

We have Dowoon right after! Our deadly drummer.

TBH. Dowoon is a cutie but a bias wrecker. Everyone stans Dowoon. Honestly, Dowoon gets THE MOST screams at concerts because you cheer for your bias, then you cheer for Dowoon 2x as loud. ISTG that goes on in every concert.

Anyway, Dowoon is ¾ths fluff and ¼th muscle. The Makne of the group but don’t let that fool you!! He probably works out every day and says it’s no big deal. His biggest fan is YoungK these days, who acts like his own little cheerleader.

Dowoon actually attended the Busan Arts College. Both he and Sungjin talk with a slight Busan accent, though Dowoon has more of an accent than Sungjin these days I feel. He is such a precious thing and sould be protected at all costs.

Except when this happens. (There’s a video floating around somewhere)

All in all, Dowoon is loved by everyone, but truly loves his pets and his parents the most, I swear.

He plays the drums and literally keeps the group together and on beat. Also has written notes of reminders on his drums about beats and whatnot. Dowoon appears like a very patient person, and follows to instructions well. Always tries everything he does 30000%, even when it might seem hard he gives it a go and doesn’t give up. Truly a hero and an inspiration.

I don’t have many stories about Dowoon, except that he always acknolwedges fans, and that he sang so beautifully at their concert and I was graced with his voice twice. And he’s getting vocal lessons these days!!! I’m !!!

Last an certaionly not least is our former bb Junhyeok.

Junhyeok used to be our piano man, and main vocals. Before Junhyeok left, I don’t remember hearing Wonpil a lot, but now Wonpil has time to shine. TBH, Junhyeok used to live close to me in Korea and I would see him in cafes frequently. He’s a very quiet, yet sociable dude who enjoys time both with and without people. He strikes me as the kind of guy who is modest but wants to get attention for his works. While the rumor of his leaving Day6 was due to his relationship with a fan, I don’t think that’s the true case. Whatever the case was, JYP terminated his contract, and he signed up with a new band, and then another band, which he is now a permanent member of called Be-Belossom. (You can find him and all his members on instagram! They’re very sweet and they’ve responded a couple of times to people I know and myself).

Any other questions (I’ve got a fair share of stories I haven’t posted here, too, so feel free to ask those as well!)

!!!!Posting to pretty much everything!!!!

*deleting later*

🛑THIS IS ME TALKING ABOUT THE PAST 2 WEEKS IN KPOP, FEEL FREE TO SKIP 🛑

Hello fellow kpop fans

As you’ve all most likely heard, Hyunjoon left The Boyz on October 22nd

On the 27th it was announced that Woojin left stray kids

On the 31st, Hoseok left Monsta X

And on the 14th, Sulli passed away

Now, I’ve stanned Stray Kids since 3 weeks after debut

I stanned The Boyz at the end of No Air era

And I stanned Monsta X just right after Jealousy promotions ended

I never really got into f(x) but I liked their music and their personalities from what I’ve seen of them

Just to tell you guys how I dealt with all of this

On the 14th, it was my birthday, and I woke up and was immediately greeted with news of Sulli’s passing. This was not a very good start to my day, because even though I was never the biggest f(x) stan, the news was still devastating.

On the 22nd, when it was announced that Hyunjoon left tbz, I was very, very sad. I didn’t cry, because he was on a hiatus for a while from his foot. Although it is sad, I am glad he’s taking time to make sure he is healthy. Although we will miss him, his health is still the first priority and it was his choice to bring that first. (That makes no sense but I hope you know what I’m getting at). I am ot12 biased in the Boyz, and I will stay that way.

On the 27th, when JYP made the statement about Woojin leaving skz, I was absolutely heartbroken. As of now I’m still so, so, so upset and in utter shock that this happened so suddenly. My sister suddenly told me this at around 8-9pm and I sat up in my bed very fast (we share a room btw). I went to Instagram and immediately saw people posting about it. To be honest I’m not an emotional person, and I struggle a lot with my emotions (I don’t express them often and I don’t cry or show what I’m feeling most of the time). But when I heard this news, I immediately broke down sobbing. Earlier that day I had a panic attack/mental breakdown/sob-fest in my car from being overwhelmed with the negative comments Chan was receiving. I had spent so much time making sure I didn’t see the exact words that people were saying, but when I read them I completely freaked out and sobbed. I cried myself to sleep that night, for the first time in a long, long, long time. I love Stray Kids and Minho (Lee Know) is one of my ults, as well as Stray Kids being one of my top groups, if not #1 since stanning.

Hoseok’s departure was a shock, but the week before had been so shitty that I kinda just went blank on emotions... I wasn’t surprised by the news, and I just kinda sighed and moved on. I know this sounds bad...but I’ve been drifting from Monsta X for a while...although I hate to say it. The news wasn’t that much of a shock to me, if at all...but my emotions just kinda shut down from then until now. I haven’t cried since the 27th, and I don’t think I will be for a while.

2019 has been a very fucking shitty year...not only in the kpop world but my personal life too.

(You can skip this it’s just a long story about my last 2 days)

A brief explanation: I stayed home from school on Friday, practically (read: did) begged my mom to stay home. I was honestly so done with everything that I just didn’t want to deal with people or school or anything really. Taking that day off cooled me down a little bit, until my mom got off of work today. She worked early, and got home at around 12:00. Just before that, I thought the year was taking a small turn, and my dad got me and my sister tickets to the Oneus concert, which brightened my mood a lot. My mom got home and started to yell at me and my sister about everything. Anything she could see she started screaming at me and my sister. (Including: saying we don’t ever do anything around the house when all we do is clean for her when she ends up not, saying we have to let her know when our dad plans something with us when he tells us we don’t have to -either way we get yelled at by a parent, telling us we might not be able to go to the concert when it was a birthday present from our dad, etc.) We has to go to the orthodontist so she yelled at my sister in the car while I sat there saying nothing with a blank expression on my face (I always do this lmao I have no emotions) ⚠️⚠️!!TW!!⚠️⚠️ throughput this entire thing, the car ride to the orthodontist, my mind was just set on ways I could kill myself, and how I could just die. How much easier my life would be if I just didn’t have one. I even started thinking of things I would say to my friends, my family, my followers- everyone. Those thoughts haven’t really gone away as of now, but I’m working on it lmao. (End TW)

Back to the big point of this useless chapter

I’m still going to continue writing about Hyunjoon, Woojin, and Hoseok. Just because they aren’t technically in their groups anymore, that doesn’t mean they were never apart of them. If we don’t get them back in their respective grouos, they were still apart of them once, and will forever be apart of them in our hearts.

This is over 1,000 words, and it’s 11pm, so I’ll end it soon, but if you do have a problem with me continuing to write about them, then you might as well go find a different author to read books from, because they aren’t going away from my heart and head, so they aren’t going away from my writing.

Lastly,

#ThankYouSulli <3

#ThankYouHwall <3

#ThankYouWoojin <3

#ThankYouWonho <3
