While rewatching shinhwa’s 10th anniversary concert, i really feel as if i have been with them to support them since starting though i only started to really like them not long ago.(around last year etc) Actually, i have heard lots of songs from them without knowing it’s their song since i used to follow c-pop during my primary school times. (like Perfect man in MVP Lover (lol used to watch idol dramass~~), remake chinese version of their “hey come on” and i think 5566 also remake one of their song if i’m not wrong. lol old times.. when taiwan idols was the trend lol~) 

And i think the first time i know shinhwa was around 2008, which i started with Suju (lol, suju was my first biased group before i completely didn’t touch kpop after 2010-2011 etc, cos’ i find kpop songs to be so generic and boring.. imo and during that time was the boom of the 2nd gen group, which i find it too much... LIKE THERE’S TOO MANY GROUPS TO RMB 😨😨)  and i actually like Andy (cos’ of WGM haha) as he was really super nice and good to his virtual wife. But i didn’t really research a lot cos’ i only watch a few clips and WGM honestly is not my thing.. Haha then moving on, when i was like not really into kpop, but i still watch some kpop variety shows (as a 2nd gen fan, i kind of missed those variety shows that has lots of idols interacting, like Suju, SHINee, 2am,2pm, SNSD etc~) and when my sis was still a SHINee fan, she watched the Shinbang Episode with SHINee and that’s how i found out about Shinhwa more xD Then i also watched Shinbang episode with Suju, which makes me ROFL, and to this day, i still remember Yesung’s imitation of Eric’s rap in T.O.P 😂😂😂 

But during that time (i think around 2011 etc), i was quite out of kpop and due to my school and also band, i focus more on other genre music (quite a band geek too, so haha) and also not as crazy as i was in the beginning when i stan Suju (now i still like them, but not as much, since some of their music don’t appeal to me, but i like their latest release which is “Devil” haha, i feel that’s quite good.) But good thing is that when i stan Suju, i think i’m still immature that i done lots of stupid stuffs (lol who doesn't... i still feel like crawling into a hole to hide when i see the stuffs i wrote in the past... 😱😱😱😱) , so now when i came back into kpop scene, i actually start by Shinbang again and somehow... just fall into their charm haha. (on a side note, it seems like i’m going back in time...like Suju got me into kpop, then shinhwa got me back into kpop again LOL) 

And this time, i was a casual fan at first. (like i enjoy their variety show etc, watch all of their old variety shows etc~). But whats make me decided to become SHCJ is cos’ of the SHCJ. I love the relationship between SHCJ + Shinhwa :) I enjoyed reading those fan accounts which makes me feel that they’re one family, a love-hate relationship haha :) 

I think it’s really cool that shinhwa keep their promise to SHCJ on 10th anniversary (Actually... I WATCHED THAT WGM EP BEFORE, AND AFTER THAT I DON’T RMB WHY I DIDN’T SEARCH THEM TT_TT ). And i really envy their friendship :) And I can really feel that they’re sincere and now, one of my wish is to attend their concert live. (Usually, i’m not fan of pop concert since i worked backstage in few concerts before, as sound crew haha... though it was amazing to listen to live singers, it just give me a bad memory since i have to clean up the place after event.. definitely 😨, some people are just so inconsiderate!!! ) 

So, what i feel is that, even if the members are married, shouldn't we give them our blessing and hope they will continue their activities even when they’re married? (i mean.. for me, i really feel so good if they found a loved one to take care of them, since from watching their shows... and esp. dongwan (since i really want him not to feel lonely.. and find someone that appreciate him and his hobby. Yes, it’s hard for girls as usually in a relationship, you would want attention from your bf, but i feel there will be girls like that, to give space to each other?)

 Honestly, from what i been looking around in forums, and tweets, about the marriage, there will always be fans who are unsupportive.. or trolls trying to ride on this to create more hates. 

(it’s true, it’s from my personal experience.. used to be a hater of GG, because it’s a blind hate. Like people tend to post these hates stuffs, and about the black ocean etc, that time was really a mess. But after being bashed (i’m quite cool to say this cos’ i admit that i’m wrong haha, and after like watching few of their shows, i really like them on variety shows compared to the rest of girl groups.. haha, personal opinion 😅), i started to realised that hate is really a scary thing. Like media tend to write clickbait articles to create more hype and people trying to spread this hate like ???, and hurting those celebrities more. I’m sure it’s a constructive criticism, it will be okay but if it’s one with just head-on bash, i think it’s really low. and esp those that target their family members, it shows how this person’s mind is really yucks. As a celebrity/performer, of course you need to have a strong-minded personality to take on these, so is it a blessing that people got famous or is it a curse that you got famous? nobody knows. Of course as a performer, a musician, we would want people to acknowledge... maybe it’s just the pride, and self-ego. Okay, i’m going too far.. but i’m just thinking of this cos’ i’m a musician myself, i still play in band.. but sometimes, i feel so weak cos’ i don’t dare to take a risk to further my dream. And also in this risk, it’s quite hard here because the art scene here is not stable, and i can’t really afford to go for it due to my family’s financial issue. But i will just continue do what i like etc. okay, going too far, back to topic. 

But i feel they will still have fans that are supportive, and it’s a larger number of us :) and another personal wish was to see all of the shinhwa members to get married, bring their wives (is it too much to ask for? xD) and their children in the concert... like wouldn’t it be cool?! like some SHCJ bring their children (and sometimes their husband LOL) to see them, so now it’s the other way round? And about the shincom thing etc, yes, it feels like it’s a list of reason for them to hate... (same with those who got married... i’m really tired of this :( like Sungmin... about those things that they accused him of, i think it’s really to do with this fandom culture. It’s so toxic... and because of this thing called “greed”, there’s nothing to stop about this.) Like... are they a product of yours? Yes, in a whole nutshell, celebrities, idols are selling their image, their talents, their face, but this has been taking too far. 

From olden days, as a composer/performer/singers etc, people like your works and appreciate all these, that’s why there will be music lovers or now what we called “fans” to support them. And that’s why there’re rarely cases of fans getting so crazy because their favourite musician got married. But the thing with idol/k-singers is different.... but sometimes, i also find it bit ambiguous, like for example, Sung Sikyung is a ballad singer, and i saw in one article before that the reason why he’s scared of getting married is cos’ of his fans, i was kind of shocked to see why... i mean like he’s selling his talent, his singing.. why his fans wouldn't let him get married..? (though on a personal note.. at first i was wondering if he’s homosexual... Sorry if that offends anyone 😅 but if he is, then i really hope one day society would be open up about this.. though this is a whole different thing that i might write next time... *NOT about him.. i mean about lgbt lol.) 

And from what i feel, i think shinhwa as a group did not really promote these thinking that they’re single etc... like lol, hasn't they been always dating openly? haha, and also dongwan’s famous quote -”Shinhwa is not responsible for your life”, so it definitely draw a line haha. (side note: i know there’re also dongwan anti-fans, which lol, they definitely did not see how real he is. I mean yes, he like to show off his car on show, so what? if i have such a nice car, of course i want to show off, LOL, don’t get it that people saying celebrities are living such a luxury life, but people need to get it that this is their job and they deserved it.In another sense, they are like spreading the arts and providing entertainment for people,giving back to the society.) And maybe except when dongwan was on ILA, you guys do know sometimes he just like to jokes around right... lol, about the Shinhwa solitary, honestly i think he’s just being a netizen kim LOL, as i mentioned in front, i definitely don’t want him to stay alone T_T 

So don’t need to be sad even if Eric or any members are getting married, instead be excited that they will go on till maybe on their 60s etc (hey, there’re still bands & artists/musicians around 50s/60s that rock those concerts, why can’t they? although i’m worried about their joints, so i hope they go to get more acupuncture/treatment and get more rest to stay healthy! and .. try to cut down on smoking.. 😓😓 esp if they want to have a healthy baby...) , and bring us more nice music or variety shows haha. Like you can always be delulu a bit to imagine they are yours during promotion period, HAHAHA. (but must cut down, for the sake of their dear wives~ and be respectful too.. i actually saw a comment that some fans are leaving hate message on Hyemi’s insta (i can’t find her Instagram so i can’t really confirm this lol) which i find it so unnecessary.. like just don’t be butthurt about it..😰😰 but i really find her pretty though, i wished they have a healthy honeymoon baby too~~ so Eric’s son/daughter will be the eldest again HAHA😝😝) 

So long for a post, lol just personal thoughts etc.
