turns out @leo_jungtw is a starchild ✨(madame daley show in seoul has gotta happen now)

[selamat-linting]

sick that vixx never re-did their love master concept for a korean comeback like i get theyre the subby boyband group but depend on me is one of the best song that captures what its like to want to dom somebody, you want them to completely surrender to you and rely on everything for you even their sense of wrong or right. and that song is shunted aside as one of their barely promoted japan released. sad!

[sadfragilegirl]

Dear, Ravi...

You will always be my WARRIOR. Our WARRIOR.

It's been a year...And I miss you so much. I wish... I wish I want to see you again...

I love you...

Please come back...

[chickendy]

the way i literally almost BAWLED (not truly literal) when i was in the kpop store the other day… i went scouting for vixx albums, esp looking to pick up continuum ofc, and BY GOD !!! there were no other [vixx] albums in sight!! only continuum!!! i ain’t complaining, i love that they had a comeback…but JEEZ…it’s hard being a stan of a group who’s uhm… 👉🏼👈🏼 not DEAD, but not exactly in its original form either…………

[gudakdalee]

not everyone old is 2nd gen

just for the kpop girlies that see anyone OLDER THAN 25 and immediately categorize them as 2nd gen. STAWP PLS. know ur culture.

Just bc they've got 5 years under their belt does NOT mean they're 2nd gen. CMON PPL.

There's actually periods of CULTURAL SHIFTS (characterized by music show formats/structures, changing markers of 'success', structures of songs, pop culture at the time, technology development aka SNS, styling/HMU, methods of promo (aka variety shows) and debut year vs heyday years) that designate the DIFFERENT ERAS.

(another indicator is military enlistment timing, but that's wacky now given the variety of age debuting now)

GEN BREAKDOWN BELOW:

2nd gen: 2005-2009

Significant moments: this essentially encapsulates what that era was like (the end-of-year award show collabs to end ALL EOY award shows collabs; you wont ever see such glorious unhinged shit like this again lmaooo)

GROUPS representative: SuJu, SHINee, 2PM/2AM, B2ST, 4Minute, KARA, T-ara, SNSD, Brown Eyed Girls, Big Bang, 2NE1 , MBLAQ, Wonder Girls, Secret

EXAMPLE: Debut yr VS Heyday yrs: TVXQ debuted in 2003, but I wrote 2005 bc with the combination of other groups in 05-06 is when the golden era really started to establish itself in popularity domestically and internationally.

How do they promote? Shows like Star King, Strong Heart, Star Golden Bell, Happy Together (in the sauna), Family Outing, Dream Team (and Xmen if we're going back 1st-2nd gen mix). TV Variety shows are the bread! and! butter! of whether your group will make or break it in the industry. You gotta get on these shows, you gotta be funny and witty, you gotta make an impression to get your name out there! There's several idols who've talked about nervously needing to do well in their debut on xmen or star king, and feeling like they had to impress Kang Hodong (etc). That's bc there was barely any other way to promote. Idols of this time are known as all-around entertainer (manneung entertainer), bc they had to do it all, e.g. leeteuk, eunhyuk, wooyoung, sunny, sooyoung, yuri, jo kwon, daesung

2.5 gen: 2010-2012

Truly like middle children, 2.5 gen groups debuted/worked in that amorphous time where times were in transition. They're like millennials, old enough to know cassette tapes, but young enough to know the first smartphone.

GROUPS representative: SISTAR, INFINITE, BTOB, APINK, EXID, VIXX, BAP, miss A, B1A4, Teen Top

REMEMBER WHEN: there was a huge online fanwar, INTENSE competition btwn EXO and BAP for the Rookie of the Year award from MAMA, fans were absolutely. incensed! Voting day and night, creating voting strategies, accusing the others of rigging/cheating, and when the time came....... Busker Busker won. LOL. International fans were dumbfounded, me included HAHAH. But we didn't know that busker busker was/is a HIT in SK.

How do they promote? 2.5 groups start not appearing on Strong Heart/Star King/Star Golden Bell as much; that's how I differentiate from 2nd and 2.5 gen (and it's WHY there is a 2.5 gen) bc you don't see 2.5 groups on those older shows that were dominated by 2nd gen groups. Like, Kang Hodong wouldve loved btob on star king, and they were on, but star king was over the hill at that point. The shift in these variety shows as promo starts here.

3rd gen: 2012-2017

Significant moments: korean news channels characterized the leaders in this era as "EBS", an acronym (it's an educational TV news channel's name) to summarize EXO, BTS, Seventeen (that's why I put exo here not in 2.5)

GROUPS representative: EBS (above), Twice, Oh My Girl, Mamamoo, Red Velvet, BlackPink

SNS: technology CHANGED RAPIDLY! We got Vlives, we got expansion of ways for idols to connect and directly speak to fans

HEYDAY: these are the groups enjoying their HEYDAY now! As in, they've got the experience, the money, the established fandom, and the respect-on-their-name (cough seniority cough)

How do they promote? We start seeing something call VLive, where fans can watch their own idol on their phone via a livestream, leaning into the individual parasocial connection. There's less Strong Heart and Star King, and more emphasis on the creation AND expansion of groups' OWN variety content. Instead of relying on variety shows (aka TV), they now can use youtube and create their own variety shows. Also, SNS starts!

4th gen: 2018-2024, WE ARE HERE CURRENTLY-

Significant markers: SNS era: the ACCESS is wild, online fan meetings, 1:1 fan calls (!?!?!!)

GROUPS representative: NCT, Stray Kidz, ATEEZ, GIDLE, IVE, Le Serafim, NewJeans (honestly I'd almost put them in 5th gen given how young theyve started, how far they could still go)

EXAMPLE: nct debuted 2017 but didnt really hit their public stride until a few years later, so they're currently in their heyday now in this gen era. and young as hell SHEESH.

How do they promote? Idols are allowed to/get to create their OWN social media accts now! SNS is heavily factored in when considering promotion and business strategy. Individual and group content now is a MUST: youtube, tiktok, insta, weibo, douyin, all the apps. Promotions emphasize internet methods rather than tv variety shows, so unless they have a variety-trained/-passionate member, it's much rarer to see kpop groups guest on a show. VLive unfortunately dies and we see the rise of Weverse, and BTS/kpop global recognition, and along with them: the marvelization of kpop (cough hybe-zation cough)

5th gen: 2024(?)-? BUT RAPIDLY MOVING HERE?

depending on how culture shifts and how technology develops, we could be going into a new era soon (now??), though as I've emphasized, it's more than just time and debut year, generations are marked by cultural shifts (whether it's environmental, music genre sound, or fandom practice).

GROUPS representative: TWS, Baby Monster, (idk anymore they're too young for me) I believe ppl look to/label NewJeans as the forerunner for the future (they were even on TIME mag)

How do they promote? Unfort, the trend of kpop idols being trained to be influencers rather than entertainers is real heavy right now, and might get more emphasized. Again this is a product of the changing times: as mentioned in the 3rd gen point about variety shows not being their main avenue of promos- idols now just aren't trained as much on variety skills bc they can get their popularity/recognition in other ways. Like you'll still see IVE on Knowing Bros, bc variety shows are still critical to the general korean populace's recognition meter, but they aren't there for the variety factor. Whereas older gen idols had to be variety-trained (that's why so many of them also work as show MC's now bc they have the skillset) bc variety shows were the main way to get their names out there and make sure their group doesn't fail. Nowadays, it's possible to focus promo online and not have the group fail, but it wasn't back then.

i was tagged by @honeydewtual (twice!!), @heartual, and @kwonhochi to shuffle my on repeat playlist and list the first 10 songs :3 since i was tagged 4 times i decided to do 40 songs, but seeing as the on repeat playlist on has 30 songs, i decided to take 20 from it and use my favourites playlist for the other 20 :3 first section is on repeat, second is from my favs <3

love cherry motion - choerry siesta - weki meki my first and last - nct dream butterfly - loona good luck - aoa girls' capitalism - tripleS hi high - loona super yuppers! - wjsn chocome growing pain - txt voodoo doll - vixx fly high - dreamcatcher rollercoaster - woo!ah! diamond days - svt aurora - cignature god of music - svt what kind of future - woozi blooming day - exo-cbx hush - miss a dumb - bnvdit adore u - svt

starry night - isabella huang sherlock (clue + note) - shinee deja vu - dreamcatcher salty - tbz hyakki yakou - hello sleepwalkers second life - svt beach again - ssak3 hug - svt oh! - snsd diva - after school anyone - svt dress down - kaoru akimoto aing♡ - orange caramel lovemonth - yukika bye bye - 7!! aju nice - svt colorless - taichi mukai (this one made me cry btw!!! it always does. god���……………..) pit-a-pet - yukika i like that - sistar flash - rocket punch

i do think my on repeat songs are a bit inaccurate as my spotify is semi-fucked rn bc it wont load playlists unless i logout or completely restart it and i simply aint doing that every time i wanna pick a new song so ive mostly just...stayed on the same playlists lmao so some songs are only there bc theyre just on the same playlist =_=

now!!! ill tag @grlfriends, @futurelightning, @safetytree, @wonhosgrl, @euphhorias, and @taengoo :3 only if u want to of course <3

[gladiatorcunt]

Didn’t know you were a kpop fan babe 😧 Kinda not surprised, but still… Your faves?

“kinda not surprised” erm

(i got into it like around 2015 and i typically go for 3rd gen to earlier when it comes to music, also i don’t interact with any fandoms on social media anymore since i’ve gotten older (and i don’t rlly keep up with the idols themselves) beyond what edits i see or what gets so popular i have to see it on my fyp)

red velvet (my girlies)

loona (haseul could’ve been the baekhyun of loona if they used her properly beyond 1 line)

exo (masterclass in discography and actually being a capital i idol but also mess and mismanagement, arguably a big part of some of their issues is the tension between sk and china, etc.)

vixx (still a fair bit underrated imo when you consider how long they’ve been active, their vocal ability, being known for their concepts, like ughhhhh leo is one of the only idols who i will be like ‘that’s my husband and we have 6 kids <3’ about)

monsta x (very solid discography, talented, rappers that genuinely have something which there a lot of rappers in kpop groups just bc they’re trying to get appeal, still mildly irritated over the wonho thing bc the way companies deal with stuff like that when the idol is innocent is just so annoying. queen is one of the best bsides in kpop history.)

ramble under the cut

honorary shinee (jonghyun is my golden standard male vocalist), boa, snsd, sunmi, btob mentions

unfortunately jay park is cute and i do like mommae, dean’s like one album he did (i didn’t listen to the other one if that even was a full second album), i used to fw hyuna but she’s pissed me the fuck off

fave time out jail ig: bts (just really grew out of being into them ig since boy with luv came out, some of their tiktok fanbase proudly bullying people and how i feel about the quality of their music now (missing house of cards type quality) + the western validation debate + being on tumblr when people made jungkook’s whole personality at 19 yrs old being goo goo ga ga over banana milk and having a noona kink)), nct (the t*eil thing, but imo if people like that want to hide then they will so i think at least some of the members didn’t know, i don’t keep up with that so i’m not sure if any other info has since come out. i believe he did it with how things are rn and as a csa survivor i just feel a bit gross with being overly supportive of them)

and then there is the can of worms that is the group named after colors (another case where imo they were better earlier on, playing with fire >>>>)

i don’t really have any 4th gen faves, i love ateez and i like some stray title tracks (as in random not stray kids lmao) & bsides from groups here and there

i have mixed feelings about 4-5th gen (imo music is not the focus so much as international reach and social media presence), riize (wonbin is so fine though like sm employs pretty boy idols and refuses to manage them properly) and new jeans (i really wished i liked their music because literally everyone else does), ive’s title tracks are pretty solid (i don’t know anything about their bsides), le sserafim is ehhhhhhhh (i think i literally only like anti fragile + they do need to improve technically for me), enhyphen (i will say is the closet to being a fave for me because i eat up their obsessive songs that are apparently about their webtoon???????? and that one jyp cover (i assume bc he was there) bangs, also again they’re fine 😖)

for the life of me i can’t fully commit to aespa but their concept is cool (and the lore should stick to them and not be attached to every sm group imo)

talking about the songs i like & listen to regularly/industry opinions is a different discussion (that i dipped into too much here) i fear so i’ll shut up!!! i could probably get back into it if a company debuted a group and was like ‘안녕하세요! we are D.I.L.F!’ and the members are all at least in their mid 40’s and they groan when they try to bow

[lvox2nitel]

Dear Sir,

Sorry about the love and affection thing. Frankly I was seeing how crazy I could make my sign offs before you said something (that said, you very much need more positive feedback in your life).

Congratulations on the Vox2Nite Mid-Summer Special. Miss Velvette left you some feedback on the special:

"Vox!! Wear that red suit on air again and your DEAD to me!"

I personally do not see her complaint. I think that it made you look quite fetching but then I guess we both agree Miss V. knows nothing of the beauty of the male form.

I also found a teddy bear in the gutter. I've washed it and was wondering if little Vixx wanted to take care of it?

Apologies for the essay, I had a lot to say. Love from your best boy favorite-ist assistant in the whole wide word, O. Cogg.

(ooc: Yes, Owen is his name Vixx RPer)

Ah, I see. Apology taken.

Velvette is always complaining about my outfits. I might just wear that suit again to piss her off.

And about that bear, sure do what you please. She seems like the type to like one.

No need to be sorry for writing so much. As long as it doesn’t waste my time it’s acceptable.

Awards Section

This is the awards section of my 2023 retrospective. The other parts of the retrospective are linked below.

Playlist | Prefix | Part 1: Music | Part 2: Anime and Other Media | Awards Section

Song of the Year:

WOODZ – Drowing: WOODZ has Album of the Year secured with OO-LI, no question about that. But when it comes to a single song, as good as Drowing is, I think I just love the EP more as a whole. If he’d just dropped Drowing as a single it might’ve taken the title.

Key – Easy: I can’t give it to Key again. Not three years in a row, and certainly not for this song. Killer or Heartless I could maybe justify, but I didn’t nominate them, I nominated Easy. I can’t even explain why I love it so much. Is it the best song I heard all year? No. But it’s my most played track anyway.

Sam Haft, Andrew Underberg, Alex Brightman – 2 Minutes Notice: I have half a mind to give it to this. Wouldn’t that be funny, a showtune from a YouTube cartoon taking SOTY? Ha. Haha. Hahaha. Haaaaaa… It would be funnier it wasn’t seriously a top candidate for that title.

Winner: King Gnu – SPECIALZ This is it. SOTY for a group I never expected to hand it to. Not because I disliked them or anything, I enjoyed every time they crossed my path. But because SOTY usually goes to an artist I love, and I only know King Gnu from their Anime tie-ins. And normally if a group delivers a song this good I would be digging my way through their albums, but I’m not. This song is special, and don’t want context for it.

Album of the Year:

Key – Killer: A stretch, I’m aware. In fact, the only reason why this isn’t getting the title is because 11/14 songs already released in 2022, and it got album of the year then. It’s by far my most played record of 2023 though, and one of my favorite K-pop albums period.

Onew – Circle: Yeah, I know, just nominate every SHINee solo, will you? No, I won’t. Taemin’s just missed out. See, I’m totally not biased, Circle was just that good. A stunningly beautiful album start to finish.

Ryugujo – 2 Much: Debut of the year, hands down. Ryugujo’s first EP is exactly as fierce as Avu-chan wanted, and I found this group impossible to look away from ever since.

Albums that I regularly listened to in full and therefore get my recommendation but missed out on a nomination, in no particular order:

VIXX – Continuum: Far from their strongest work, otherwise it would’ve taken the title by default. But even with half the members missing, it’s still VIXX, and it’s the best K-pop boy group record released in 2023.

æspa – Drama: I have no excuse; this is just fun. Sometimes you need an EP that isn’t ashamed of being batshit K-pop.

Red Velvet – Chill Kill: Very pretty and cohesive album. SM saves all their pleasant-sounding music for their girl groups.

Purple Kiss – Cabin Fever: Purple Kiss’ best EP to date.

Dreamcatcher – VillainS: Enjoyed this EP way more than I thought I would.

Kiss Of Life – Born To Be XX: These girls are going places.

Winner: WOODZ – OO-LI There was never any doubt about which release would take album of the year, because WOODZ utterly obliterated the competition. Every other nomination, including the Key album that is totally not from the year before anyway, at least has one song I don’t care for. But OO-LI never misses. Not even 7/10 misses. Every single song on this EP stands out, and they come together beautifully. WOODZ is enlisting this January, and I already don’t know what to do without being able to rely on him to deliver great comebacks for the next two years. Come back safely, and never stop making music.

Artist of the Year:

I keep struggling with this one because most of my favorite releases tend to be from tenure artists who drop one comeback and then vanish for the rest of the year. If you asked me who I admired the most, it would be WOODZ. If you asked me who I listened to the most, it would be Key. If you asked me who surprised me the most, it would be Ryugujo. If you asked me who had the most releases I loved though, I’m stuck. The list of artists who released more than one album which I enjoyed is short. Dreamcatcher, Kiss Of Life, æspa, and that’s it, I’m stuck. So you know what? Fuck it. I won’t get the chance to do that again for two years.

Winner: WOODZ Between OO-LI, a world tour, and Amnesia, WOODZ had a great year. He hasn’t missed once in his career, but right now he’s on a level of his own. No one else active this year has delivered this level of consistency and quality. WOODZ is a gem, and I don’t think it’s possible to lavish his music with too much praise right now.

Miscellaneous Music:

Best Music Video: Heartsteel – Paranoia

Best Choreography: Le Sserafim – Eve, Psyche & The Bluebird’s Wife

Best Debut Single: Ryugujo – 2 Much

Top 15 B-sides (no videos, only one entry per artist):

Key – Heartless

WOODZ – Busted

Taemin – She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

Infinite – Time Difference

Kim Sejeong – Jenga

Red Velvet – One Kiss

Onew – No Parachute

VIXX – Savage

Purple Kiss – T4ke

Dreamcatcher – Propose

æspa – Don’t Blink

IVE – Blue Blood

SHINee – Identity

ATEEZ – Dune

U-Know – Tarantino

Best Insert Song: Helluva Boss – 2 Minutes Notice

Other Media

Game Of The Year: The Legend Of Zelda – Tears Of The Kingdom Not the most creative pick, but sometimes Nintendo delivers, and their games are magical when they do.

Anime Of The Year: Link Click Season 2 Since I didn’t watch everything I wanted to get to, this might change in hindsight, once I feel better and catch up with shows like Oshi no Ko, Vinland Saga, and Tengoku Daimakyou. Jujutsu Kaisen also had a strong season, and Shounen does not get much better than its Hidden Inventory and Shibuya Incident arcs, but ultimately Link Click is the show I cared about the most. Everything in this show feels intentional. Every mystery has a satisfying pay-off, and that earns it enough trust from the audience to expect a satisfying continuation (and hopefully conclusion) in the already confirmed third season. I for one can’t wait to see what happens next and considering the time travel aspect of the show and season two’s final twist, what already happened. I love the characters and want to see them get out of this story safe and sound.

Opening Of The Year: Link Click Season 2 There was competition, certainly, but in the end, nothing touched this masterpiece. They made a song that would sound good played forwards and backwards, just so they could rewind the opening. It looks great and is a great fit for a time travel mystery. I got to respect the craft that went into this.

Ending Of The Year: Oshi No Ko I didn’t have much opportunity to mention Queen Bee in this retrospective, but they delivered on this ending theme.

Movie Of The Year: Oppenheimer I have half a mind to praise Puss In Boots more, but Oppenheimer is a staggeringly well made movie, and I would be remiss if I didn’t give it the crown.

[1eos]

The most confusing part of the verivery situation to me is like. That one Group everyone focuses on? Were in Vixx's gen. Jellyfish saw what happened in real time how boygroups were shoved in the background for that one group so why put your money in launching ANOTHER boy group?? Gugudan had genuine hits AND a fanbase-why waste the cash on trainees??

I dont even know if i buy the money laundering theory anymore because. That just aint a good business move legally OR illegaly. (Sorry Miss kendra im very passionate about this😂😭)

no speak on it like That Group debuted the Same year as vixx 😭😭😭 they literally performed together before they blew up to mega stardom like we know you saw that??????? if they weren't laundering money then it just was arrogance and misogyny like yes out of all the groups that debuted in 2012 you managed to have one of the ones that eked out a solid place in the domestic market long term and you think you can do that AGAIN????? when verivery has no star member or iconic niche??????? BE FR!!!! literally if they kept ggd going and then debuted another gg that was lore heavy/playing on being conceptual like vixx that combo would've taken that group far. and then they did this shit again with a new new boy group like the ceo is on DRUGS 😭😭😭😭 no one gives a fuck abt boy groups bro!!!!

"Fight You to the End" -- Meg/Zag (Hades) fanmix.

Half "songs to fight your lover to," half "learning to work it out."

Listen (YT | Spotify) Lyrics below.

Ricochet - VIA Gra You fired again and missed the target, Didn't mean to wound me, but it's the ricochet You fired again, I stood aside, The arrow didn't catch me, but it hurt me   You fired again and missed the target But you left this wound in my soul Ricochet, ricochet   Death of Me - PVRIS Maybe I'm crazy, I know you're danger Baby, you could be the death of me I'm falling, fading, and seeing angels Baby, you could be the death of me

Empty - Garbage They all seem to know exactly What it is they want, they pass me They smile as they go So I work at staying patient Good things come to those that wait Or so they say

I'm so empty You're all I'm thinking about

Chained Up - VIXX You scratch all my itching wounds for me The only one in this world who knows me I can't help but come back

You're my prison and my paradise   She's My Collar - Gorillaz ft. Kali Uchis She's the one I'm running with She's my collar I died a thousand times I did what I had to do Hey, that's just how it goes I'm still coming back to you

Unlearn This Hatred - New Order Unlearn this hatred, you've got to keep it true Let’s not back date it, but let's not pretend it's new Girl, we’ve got to take it When I remember you undo this hatred Cause I’m a fan of you

Two steps forward, one step back, waiting for your will to crack Make a sign that I can see, tune into my frequency

Fall First - Santigold See my plans all fall apart I can't feel nothing in my heart I was in my room And you knew exactly what to do I know who you are I wanna dance when I look at you I want my heart awake But don't want my earth to quake

Happy Ending - Kelela We drive in once, but you don't listen We both know you wanna stay And I won't chase you but it's not over I can see your face

We're too far away I'm reading all the writings on the wall And if you don't run away Could be a happy ending after all It's deeper than fantasy

Rubies - Mahmood & Elisa My broken heart Like an abstract paint Rage castles The only queen Titanium fiber Maybe a bit alone   But being with you will go to my head Like red rubies in my mouth I tell you right now, don’t come here if You’re just looking for a thrill You’re just going to leave me with a bruise

Stay Closer - ZHU I need your body closer Stay, with me I need your body closer Stay

Live to Die Another Day - Hante. You are lying unconscious, after the breath of the hurricane There will be no grave, no tears, you will live to die another day

You will live to die another day You will die to live forever

13, 22 for a.c.e, and 29 for bias asks pls bestieeee

13. What's the longest you've had one ult? well taemin has been my ult for basically as long as i've known of shinee so that will be technically around a decade at this point? my memory is shit so i honestly don't know exactly but yeah something like that

22. What are they passionate about and how does that make you feel? (Send a group or random choice) okay i'm sure we all know my bias in ace is donghun and i would like to go with the obvious and say singing. and it makes me feel soooooo. full of admiration honestly like i don't think it has escaped anyone i am a huge huuuuuge fan of a true vocalist and he puts everything into the development and maintenance and technique of not only his but the entire group's vocals and it just always pays off and it's like fucking magic. and whenever he talks about when he used to work as a vocal coach for middle schoolers it's so warm like you can tell those kids definitely had their work cut out for them but he definitely put his all into teaching them yeah i truly truly admire him in this aspect.

29. Do you associate any of them with something other than an animal? to safeguard in case i receive this question again i am going to answer for one person and answer this with hakyeon bc i miss vixx and ever since i thought of how he kinda looks like one of those long furbies sometimes i associate him with any furby dskjgbsdkjb i know they're animal-like but they're toys so. that counts i think.

bias asks <3
