"We're not just dating, we're married."

 "Just breathe with me, okay?" "Okay."

 "Can I kiss you?"

"Five more minutes please, I don't wanna leave you."

"I realized why I couldn't stand you; I can't stop loving you and it's making me crazy."

"Get some rest, you work too hard."

 "You deserve the world."

 "Your hair is soft."

“You're safe here with me."

"It's you. It's always going to be you."

 "You're not like them. You're better, you always have been and you always will be."

 "How about we face it together?"

"Whatever happens; I'll be here."

"Why?" "Because I love you."

"I just don't want you getting hurt."

"I have something to do!" "Blow them off and stay here with me all day."

"Oh, so you're jealous?" "I'm not jealous!"

"Dance with me?"

"You're my home."

"When I'm with you, everything else goes away."

"I can't stay away from you, I tried but I can't."

"Wanna get drunk together?"

"Is this a date?"

"Are those my clothes?"

"You're worth the wait."

"Eyes up here, idiot."

 "I'm yours. I'll always be yours."

"Time will take care of it."

"Are you hurt?!"

"We'll fix things. We always do."

"One more kiss."

“I’d never turn down a kiss from you.”

“Where’s my goodnight kiss?”

“You can’t scare me like that, okay?”

“Let me help you.”

“It’s okay. I’m here.”

"Oh my god.. You love somebody else."

"It probably doesn't mean anything to you, but I love you."

"I can be there when you need me!" "But I did, and you weren't." 

"Leave."

"I can't forgive you."

"Don't make me choose."

"I don't have a choice."

 "Why does this sound like goodbye?" "Because it is."

"You said forever."

 "How long have you been lying to me?"

"Did you ever love me?"

 "Why do you keep me a secret? Why are we hiding?"

 "Are you embarrassed of me?"

"One last time. Please."

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Was I not enough for you?"

"You don't get to call me that anymore."

 "Is that all I mean to you?"

"It's better this way."

 "I get it. You can leave. It's what they all do anyway."

"You're just like the others."

 "You don't mean that." "I do."

"But why would you do it to me?"

"So this is the end?"

"After everything, this is all you can come up with?"

[psychicreadsgirl]

Hi

For boyfriend reading I would like to ask about Hwang Minhyun from disbanded Nuest just saw his My lovely liar kdrama so I was curious 😀

If question like this has to go through ask game then I'm sorry just disregard this question.

Thank you

Rated r - read at your discr

Minhyun doesn't really care that much about dating. He can separate sex from love easily. He also doesn't love very easily nor does he care that much about it. Minhyun cares most about his career/wealth/reputation.

Minhyun has a lot of people crushing on him and chasing after him. He doesn't really need to do much and already there are people confessing to him or dropping hints that they want to date him/sleep with him. He gets bored of this and finds it bothersome when he doesn't do much and already someone likes him romantically. He rather be left alone or hang out with his pals. He occasionally likes to see how much someone will go out of their love for him.

Minhyun is quite powerful and dominant during s*x. He prefers it very rough, and can sometimes borderline forceful. The lines are sort of blurred there. He doesn't like to see his partner's face during s*x and prefers to go from behind. I just see him pulling someone's hands so they're sorta restrained and he's behind them. Sometimes the pulling can be pretty forceful that his partner injures their shoulder. He also likes to cover their mouths during s*x. He enjoys biting his partner during s*x too but not giving them hickeys. He also likes watching his partner pleasure themselves in a hotel room or a public-ish area and then beg him to take them. He somehow really enjoys someone showing how much they are yearning for him when they're touching themselves, but then he doesn't like to see their faces when he's having s*x with them.

Minhyun's not a romantic nor is he sweet in relationships. He's rather distant, cold and aloof. He isn't much of a communicator. He doesn't like texting or calling. He prefers casual flings and prefers more FWB situations.

“is this how you flirt with everyone?” { from minju to muse of your choice 😘 }

"How I..." Minhyun paused for a few seconds, squinted and looked at her again. "I didn't mean to... Did it come off wrong? I'm very sorry." The student bowed lowly, hoping that he had not been offensive in any way. "I just... I just really thought your outfit looked nice." It was something very natural for him to say, after all.

My top 10 korean OSTs of 2022.

Hope you had a great time celebrating the new year! I was supposed to post this last week but last year I really was the worst at keeping up with my tumblr. I guess the whole working adult thing is draining me already of my hobbies. Anyway, hopefully I'll do a better job this year. Here's my favorite OSTs of last year.

10. Suzy- Inevitable. Extraordinary Attorney Woo Young Woo was one of the most popular dramas last year and this soft cute ballad by Suzy was such a joy to listen to.

9. MINO ft Gaeko- City+++. So I usually only include OSTs from korean dramas but I really loved the korean movie Seoul vibe. I don't know why I wasn't expecting much of Mino's debut as an actor and he really delievered as the courky nemesis of Yoo Ah In's character in the movie. He also co-wrote this OST and the song is so much fun.

8. Sole- La vie. This is such a cool song in english with crazy vocals and was my favorite Little Women OST.

7. Minhyun-Tree. So technically this song is from Alchemy of the Souls Part 1 and 2 but since it was released as the soundtrack of Part 2 I'll give myself and pass and add it as my favorite song of Part 2. I loved Part 1 and I am enjoying Part 2 of this epic drama. The OSTs are all so great but this one is one of my faves for sure. Minhyun's sweet vocals are just so beautiful. Ailee's I'm sorry was recently released and it's a great listen.

6. Melomance-Love Maybe. Business Proposal was a hilarious drama to watch. I've always loved Melomance's vocals so it was great to listen to this song over and over in the drama (Kim Sejong's acoustic version is also great). Bam bam's Melting is also a fun listen.

5. TAEYEON- By my side. The drama Our Blues was not really for me. It's well done though. The lyrics and Taeyeon's voice hits you right in the feels. By the way there were several songs from this drama that are amazing including Jimin's and Ha Sung Won's With you, Heize's The Last, NINGNING and Winter's Once Again, 10 cm's For Love, Punch's Bye bye and Davichi's Remember me.

4. SOHYANG-Luminous. I have to confess I only watched the first two episodes of Poong, the Joseon psychiatrist however the OSTs were so good. Sohyang has such an outstanding voice and it's so well suited for a historical drama so it was no surprised I loved this ballad. Make sure to check out Solji's By Your Side and Standing Egg's She.

3. CHEN-An unfamiliar day. Chen came back from the military on april of 2022 and by june he had already released an OST he's such an OST king! He also released another in november but it was this one from the drama Doctor Lawyer that I really loved. The drama was intense for sure and so were the OSTs. Make sure to listen to Freedom by Lee Changsub.

2. DOYOUNG-Unable to love. I was watching the web drama Dear X Who Doesn't Love Me, a slow burn friend to lovers drama with a supernatural spin to it, and I was really into Doyoung's portrayal of the unrequited love he has for main character and I was really emotional envolved so when I went and listen to the full live song I was overwhelmed by his delievery of this song and it really became one of my most listned OSTs of the year.

1. JEONG SEOWOON-Just watching you. This was the most iconic OST of Alchemy of the Souls and I think we have stablished by now just how much I loved the drama so this became my favorite OST of the year for sure. The epic feel of the drama was perfectly portrayed by Seowoon's vocals and the beat. Please check out the rest of the songs for this drama because there's so many great ones like Scars leave beautiful trace by Car, the garden, Aching by Kassy, Raindops by Gummy and Breath by Kim Na Young.

Action! | Ch. 35

Genre: Humor, Romance, Slice of life?, Crackheadedness

Pairings: BaekRen, MinRon

Work Count: 1.6K

Summary:  From the moment he was casted, Ren wasn't sure if he had what it would take to be a pop idol. Losing faith in himself, he was going to give up the future he had always wanted, but one person stood by his side and renewed his faith. After a hot debut and rapid growth of stardom, Ren started to notice that maybe this person, his close friend, was something more. But how could a straight man even remotely think of a homosexual relationship?

Warnings: Homophobia, some smut (chapters will be marked)

A/N: I wrote this series back in 2012 and used OCs and over the top writing style for arguments. Whoops. Lmao it’s pretty decent though, so I hope you enjoy!

↶Previous

Baekho's POV

"You're a mess." I whispered. Taking the tissue, I wiped away the running eyeliner. "God you look like a raccoon." I said and laughed softly.

"I'm sorry." Ren whispered. "I didn't mean to cry like such a baby." Frowning, I lowered my hand and stared at him. He wasn't a baby, though he did cry like one. But I understood, he was scared of having sex, scared of losing me, and I was scared of losing him. But I knew I was going to do anything to keep him close to me.

"Don't be sorry. We took it slow didn't we?" I asked with a grin. A flush spread across his cheeks and I chuckled. He was just so damn cute.

"Actually we moved a whole lot faster than I thought we would." Ren admitted and I nodded. We moved fairly quickly the moment we got into the room. But he didn't stop me and I didn't get carried away. I played to his needs and when he finally choked up, like I knew he would, I stopped and just held him until he stopped crying.

And that's how we ended up in the bathroom naked. It was nice, what we did and we both got off at least once, I think Ren got off twice though. It wasn't until I tried fingering him that he had issues. And I wasn't sure I was doing it right. Didn't really have time to look up how to have gay sex, or ask anyone really. Anyone being Aron and Minhyun.

"We did and it was fun right?" I asked, slipping my arms around his waist, pulling him close to me.

"It was." Ren said and smiled. His arms wrapped around my waist and I smiled. I liked being in his arms as much as I liked holding him in mine. Before I always thought that this was a friendly gesture, but looking back, deep down I knew I liked this more than a friend should. I liked holding Ren and touching him and now, I love kissing him. Another thing I got upset up about when he closed up towards me.

"And it didn't get uncomfortable until the end right?"

"Right." Ren said with a nod.

"So see, you weren't scared of everything. Just the big thing. Which we can work on okay?" I said and kissed his cheek gently.

"I know we can." Ren said as he stared up at me. Sighing, he rested his head on my shoulder. Rocking him gently, I stroked his back. "I still feel so embarrassed that I cried like that. You hadn't really done anything, just touched me." He whispered.

"And it's okay." I said and pulled back. Grabbing Ren's chin, I lifted his head so he could stare at me. "Baby it's scary. I know I would feel the same if you were doing that to me. I understand, so don't feel embarrassed." I told him.

"And I won't do it again until you're ready, no matter how long that takes." I assured him.

"Really?" Ren asked, eyes wide. I nodded to him and he grinned. "Oh Baekho! I love you so much!" He exclaimed as he moved his arms from my waist to my neck and kissed me happily. I let out a small laugh as our lips met, my arms tightening as I held him against me tightly. Pulling back, I licked my lips.

"I love you too Ren." Kissing him again, I sighed happily. "Let's go back to the bed now. I think we have enough time to please each other again before someone comes looking for us." I said. Ren nodded eagerly and stepped away from me. Letting him go, I took his hand and led him out of the bathroom and back to the bed for a little more loving.

~*~*~

Minhyun's POV

Oh my god, I can't believe all that has happened in the past few weeks and the tour isn't even over yet! I can only imagine what's going to happen when we get home. And I'm not looking forward to it. I love Ren to death and all, but he is seriously fucking up this relationship he's in. I understand he's scared of sex, I was too at first, but I didn't let that fear stop me and Aron. But Ren is different than me, far more...what's the word?

Delicate? 

Sensitive?

Feminine?

A combination of all those words. He is...our maknae and he takes things differently than the rest of us. He's also stubborn as a damn horse and if he doesn't open his eyes and realize what he's doing to his relationship, he's going to regret it. Baekho isn't a saint either. He's not helping the situation at all, but I can't blame the guy. He looks so lost when I stare at him and I feel so bad.

But that doesn't excuse him for his actions and he deserved each and every punch he got from me. But hopefully with JR talking to them, everything will work out. They'll work it out somehow and we won't feel so much tension. I'm sure our fans feel the tension at the concerts.

And let's not get on the subject of Aron. I don't know what was up with him and trying to get me and JR to work on things. So far we have, going at our own pace. I'm fact, we're almost back to normal. We can hold civil conversations, we can be alone together for a short time. While I don't think I could ever forgive him for what he did, he is slowly gaining back my trust and we are becoming friends again. I'm thankful for that. I do miss the times JR and I would just hang out together. Those were the good old days.

Stretching, a grunt left me as bones cracked and I felt so much better. Walking to my door, I pulled out the room key and slid it into the slot. Waiting for green, I opened the door and walked in. It was quiet, which was strange because I had left Aron alone. It had taken a lot of convincing to the two that I wouldn't go find Baekho and kill him. I believed JR when he said that Ren and Baekho were going to work on their relationship, so I wasn't going to interrupt that and possibly ruin the chances of them ever getting back together.

Walking into the open room, I stared at the bed and smiled. The old man was fast asleep. I shouldn't say that though, making fun of Aron like that. The other had been sounding horse lately and seemed sluggish as of late. I think he's getting sick and I feel so bad for him. Which means we're probably going to miss him at one or more concerts.

Shaking my head, I moved to the small table by the window and sat down. I looked over the mess of papers, pictures and random items fondly. A blue piece of paper caught my attention and I picked it up. It was a small note from JR. 

'Minhyun,

I tucked Aron-hyung in. He said he wasn't feeling good and he looked a bit sick. I'll let manager-hyung know so we can get him taken care of so hopefully he won't miss any of the concerts on the tour. I checked on Ren and Baekho while you were out and they were getting to know each other...on the bed I sleep on in the room I share with Baekho.

I didn't mean to catch them, but I did and it got me to thinking about things, things I've been thinking about on and off for the past few months. It's crazy what's going on in my head and I don't understand it. But there is something inside me that's just, I guess screaming at me.

Anyway, I'm sure I've got you confused now, so I'll just tell you what I need to tell you and work out the rest later when you confront me about it.

 Minhyun, I love you.  

See you later at rehearsal.

Your leader, 

Jonghyun~'

I read the note about three or four times more and each time my heart skipped a few beats. Despite what we've been through, and the fact that I probably will never forgive him for being a closed minded homophobic ass, I still love him.  JR was the first man I've ever loved, though not the first guy I've liked, which are two totally different feelings. He's my first love and all I've ever wanted was for him to love me too.

And nearly six months and countless dates and love making with Aron later, he finally says it. And worst of all, my first thought is to dump Aron and go to JR. But I can't do that. Aron has been there for me through it all. He's the second man I've ever loved and I do love him. But the prospect of being with JR, it's almost irresistible. I'm not that kind of person, and I know if I go to JR like that, Aron would think I was simply using him and that's not the case.

Oh god, what do I do?

I crumpled up the paper and threw it in the trash. Getting up, I took a few deep breaths to calm myself and moved to the bed Aron was laying on. Pulling back the covers, I crawled in behind him. Pulling the covers back up, I slid my arm around his waist and kissed his cheek gently. He shifted back against me and moaned softly, but never woke.

"I love you." I whispered softly as I got comfortable, spooning him. Resting my head on the pillow, I stared at the back of his head for a moment before closing my eyes.

What the hell am I going to do?

"my room was getting too hot, can i stay here for a while?" / @parkhaein

three hours and forty minutes into the blackout. somewhere in the distance, sound of sirens can be heard echoing through the city. a crick has settled in his neck for the past hour, lack of circulation rendering his legs numb, though minhyun remains cross-legged on the concrete floor regardless. in silence underneath clear night sky, awaiting for the never-coming return of power; he hasn't even picked flashlight for himself, rendering it futile, a drop of defeatism he finds himself diving into. for all purposes, kim minhyun is, in this absolute mess of a situation, invisible.

what are aeternals for? flashiness of front pages, face plastered across small screens on prime time, a simulacrum of convenience and personal gain; but when real people need —

"oh," he breathes out, his gaze raising, though there is a blatant and deliberate lack of urgency to his movement. minhyun shrugs, scooting over & stretching his legs out. then, he tilts his head; and he smiles. "i don't really have an extra shirt or anything, if you wanna sit down. i'm so not climbing six floors of stairs. and if i do? and then the building somehow crumbles and ——— i'm rambling, shit. sorry. yeah. do you want me to get you something to drink and cool down?"

[unwantedalien]

Sudden Surprise

Today wasn't any different. Going to school with Minhyun and Emi expressing our hate for every season and then talking about the classes and the upcoming final exams. That is how my day starts. It was supposed to end with me complaining about my day to eomma. I didn't expect it to end with her introducing her 'nice friend'. He wasn't 'nice' at all. He looked like the type to pour in milk before cereal.

"So Shin Mi Rae what do you want to be when you grow up?" 

Why is he talking to me so casually? Who are you? My uncle?

"Anything as long as I don't have to see you"

"Mi Rae! You-"

"No, no, it's fine! It will take her some time to get used to this Jun Yeong I would have been surprised if she wasn't like this"

"Your sons took it better when you told them! You can't use that as an excuse!"

"Wait, wait, wait, sons? How serious is this relationship?"

I'm sorry, SONS? PLURAL?

"Mi Rae I know I should have at least told you before, but I couldn't find the right time and there was just so much going on and-"

"How long have you both been dating?"

"Since last march"

"It's April so, almost a year? And you tell me now? You could have at least told me that you were seeing someone or that you were interested"

"I know I should have and that was my mistake, but that isn't a reason for you to be so rude to Ji-Sook even if I wasn't dating he is still our guest"

"Fine, then have fun with your BoYFRiENd" I'm going out for some time"

And with that I left my house, I could hear my mother calling me, but I couldn't care less. I wasn't mad that she was dating, I was mad over the fact that she didn't tell me anything about it. Did she ever think about me? While dating that 'Kim Ji-Sook'?

I decided to listen to some music and felt my pockets, that was the moment I realized "I did NOT just forget my phone"

I walked around still cursing my forgetful self while thinking about the whole dating situation and found myself at the park. 

I have good memories of this place. When me, Emi and Minhyun. The first time we met while helping a kitten on the tree. I smiled recalling how we fell down, and the kitten hopped on Emi's head and walk away as if nothing happened. How long ago was that?

I walked toward the same tree and noticed a silhouette of a person. It was still fairly bright and there were a few people around, so I felt safe and walked toward the person standing under the tree. When I finally saw his face.

A handsome man. Probably around 17 or 18 maybe around my age. He was staring at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. He reminded me of a certain person. I didn't realize I was staring until he spoke

"take a picture, it lasts longer"

He didn't even look at me, and I immediately took back what I thought about him.

"You look like this very annoying person I met today"

"I look annoying? You're one to talk"

For some reason, I felt brave today, I wanted to insult every little thing, about everyone, especially this "kIM Ji sooK" look a like.

"Oh please, if I was 'annoying-looking', You'd be a cockroach's cousin"

Somehow I ended up standing next to him and was also staring at the ground. I looked at the man again and thought he really did look like that boyfriend of my mother's. I know he has sons so probably more than one, fearing the worst I asked him

"are you new here?"

"Thought I was annoying?"

"I'm trying to bare your presence now, answer. Please. Do you live here?"

"No, I don't, I'm waiting for someone"

"Your girlfriend?"

"No, brother, why am I even replying to you"

"Thank the lords"

"What about you? Are you waiting for your boyfriend?"

"Is a girl not allowed to walk around?"

"You literally asked if I was waiting for my gir-"

"I was just bored"

"Don't just cut me off! But let me get this straight, so you decided to come to the park at 9 pm and talk to the handsome stranger under the tree?"

"I needed some fresh air and-wait 9 Pm? IT WAS 8:30 LIKE FIVE MINUTES AGO"

"GOD you are LOUD, and yes 9pm did you leave your phone at home?"

"I might have anyway, hope you step on dog poop on your way back"

"bish-"

With that, I ran away smiling. He can't catch me, no matter how fast he runs. I thought that I should have asked his name for extra confirmation (In case he was related to that 'nice' guy).

 Well, it's not like I'm going to see him so why bother asking? With that in mind, I walked the rest of my way back home.

I reached the doorstep and was hesitant to open the door. I decided to open the door and go to my room without making any noise.

I opened the door and removed my shoes as quietly as possible before going to my room. I had to walk past the living room, where I saw mom and Kim Ji-Sook. They both seemed to be talking about something, but I couldn't hear much. As much as I didn't want to see that man's face, I had to talk to my mom.

"eomma I'm home"

"Mi-Rae-ah! Where did you go?"

"I-" after taking a deep breath I continue, "I went out to the park and didn't notice the passing of time. Sorry I'm late"

"It's fine as long as you are safe, don't worry. I'm also sorry for not telling you beforehand that I was seeing someone I should give you some time to adjust, so we decided to hold off seeing each other an-"

"No, it's fine, I don't mind you dating anyone. I was just mad that I was the last one to find out, even his sons knew, but I didn't, I do wish you mentioned him before. I know you are busy and that you worked hard and if you feel like that man gives you the happiness, you should be with him"

I tried my best to sound convincing, if this man really made my mom happy, who am I to deny their relationship?

Kim Ji Sook bent down to my height and looked at me.

"Mi Rae, I know you would rather have your mom to yourself, I understand that, but give me one chance, I promise to keep you and your mother happy, even if it meant to sacrifice mine, so please Mi Rae? One chance?"

I did NOT expect this. Kim Ji Sook, THE KIM JI SOOK, Owner of the top restaurants in Korea and top 100 global, was standing in front of my ASKING FOR MY PERMISSION.

I was TOTALLY flustered, and I didn't know what to say.

"No- no I'm sorry for being so rude to you earlier, I... I shouldn't been so mean, I don't mind you and eomma dating... I just didn't like that she didn't tell me"

He smiled, and thanked me for giving him a chance to prove himself, honestly, what he did just now was more than enough to prove himself, such a big man, not only in status but also in wealth, said all of that, I knew my mother would be happy with this man.

"Do you have time for dessert? Mr Kim Ji Sook?"

It was very unusual for the student to hear such words, and if he was being honest, Minhyun was a little worried at first. But the other's words were comforting enough, and he was certain he had seen him somewhere... Yes, he was famous. All he hoped for was that he was no danger for him, now. "Yes, let's go." He replied with a smile, walking in the same direction. "I'm sorry to ask you this but... You're famous, right?" He did not want to make him uncomfortable. "I just... I just feel like I've seen you somewhere..." But he was used to people he thought he recognized when he actually did not.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you. Let me buy you a new coffee since you spilled yours because of me. Are you okay? You look a bit sad, I can sense it." San asked softly then, looking over the stranger who he had accidentally bumped into.

Kim Jonghyeon, News1 N-Interview (220722) "NU'EST are still close friends...cheer each other on in their activities" + "Standing alone 10 years after debut, third turning point"

sources: [1] [2]

Singer and actor Kim Jonghyeon has come to stand alone for the first time in the 10 years since his debut. After debuting in the boy group NU'EST in 2012 and finishing ten years of team activities, he left his company and is now starting anew, not as "NU'EST JR," but as "solo artist" Kim Jonghyeon opening his second act.

With his official solo activities ahead of him, his training is at its peak form. While learning things to further develop himself, from singing and acting to playing the piano, he continues to cultivate his capabilities. His desire to show good sides of himself as an actor and a singer reflects the strength of his drive. "I want to develop myself as I learn about the things I lack," he says, revealing his strong ambition. "I want to show many sides as I grow as a singer and actor."

This was, of course, no easy feat. There is fear when faced with standing alone. But as he wanted to show various aspects of himself as an artist, at the end of all the worries, he began again as Kim Jonghyeon. Having changed companies, he is now working with the staff at his new company and preparing for many things ahead. Sharing that he expects to be active in the latter half of the year, he asked for anticipation and support for his next move.

We met up with Kim Jonghyeon recently and talked about various things.

It's nice to meet you. Since you have a lot of things going on, can you give us an update about what you're up to lately?

I've been really busy learning a lot of things. Since I want to do as much as I can with my company, I'm taking vocal, acting, and piano lessons as well as practicing. I also want to start producing a little. It's been a happy time.

You were in the rap position of your team, so it's surprising that you're doing singing and piano lessons.

I thought that it might be a bit of a shame to fill an album only with rap. And I want to try different kinds of music so I'm trying hard to transform into a singer. I'm working hard since I also want to try fully singing ballad songs. I want to actively participate in the production of my music so I'm learning piano too.

We're curious about the direction of Kim Jonghyeon as an artist.

Nothing's been decided yet, but there's a lot of emotional aspects that I want to be able to express whether through music or acting. Actually, I only wanted to be an actor at first. Then I met with Evermore, and as we talked it over, I thought it would be a shame to give music up, since the people who like me like it when I perform on stage. So I want to grow and show different sides of myself as a singer and actor.

You changed companies recently, didn't you? It must not have been easy to leave a place where you've built a career for 10 years.

It wasn't an easy decision. Still, I had a huge desire to experience more things and show more of "Kim Jonghyeon." To be honest, when I left my company, I was scared, and I felt sorry to the fans who were waiting for me. I met my current company during that troubled time. I thought I could grow a lot in this place, so I ended up joining them. Although it was my first time working with everyone, we worked well together and I'm getting a lot of support, so I feel secure.

It seems as though you discussed many things with the other NU'EST members before you parted ways.

We've always been the same. Whatever each of us does, whatever decision each one of us makes, we say we'll cheer them on. These days, the members are busy doing their activities. I feel proud whenever I see it and cheer them on.

The first event you did after moving to a new company was your fan meeting. You must have really wanted to meet your fans.

I wanted to see the fans from up close. I wanted to do everything I could, so my company prepared different segments to respond to the fans' needs. I gave them advice for their worries and even did a cover stage. (smiles) The fans also said that they like the sound of the band, and I'm proud of that. I think this time I was able to show them a little more of what I wanted to do.

You also showed some tears when you were with your fans in the venue.

I didn't cry - I almost cried. (laughs) That moment was just really overwhelming. Since it was my first time doing a fan meeting on my own, I thought, "Will a lot of people to come see me?" Then it sold out. Isn't that not an easy thing? When I met the fans at the venue, I thought, "I was worrying for nothing." So many people came to cheer me on. I was so thankful to be able to see that sight again. So I got choked up without realizing it.

The hi touch event you did at the fan meeting got a lot of attention. We could see the effort you put into communicating with the fans from up close, but wasn't it hard? When it was over, didn't you feel overwhelmed by a sense of emptiness? [t/n: What an interesting question this is...]

It was great to look each of the fans in the eye and greet them. People were worried and asked, "Didn't your arms hurt?" but I felt how great the fans' love was that I could forget all of that and it wasn't hard at all. I was so thankful and it was a happy time. Even when it was over, rather than emptiness, I remembered how much the fans liked and supported me. I felt proud because I pulled off what I worked so hard to prepare for, and I'm already thinking of what I can do next time.

It was heartwarming to see the NU'EST members come to the fan meeting, too.

I was happy that the members came. I didn't want to pressure them so I never said, "Come if you want," or called. I didn't know when they'd come so their seats were always set aside, then they came together. Dongho couldn't come because of his schedule, but he sent me a text cheering me on before the fan meeting so I'm thankful for that. I've been with the members for almost 13 years now. We know each other so well. We're still good friends.

[end of Part 1 / start of Part 2]

You're not the type to share a lot of things about your life on SNS. Are you making a distinction between "celebrity Kim Jonghyeon" and "human Kim Jonghyeon"?

I'm just bad at taking pictures. (laughs) I want to post perfect photos on my Instagram, but there isn't a lot of those. If a picture turns out well, I should post it right away, but it's not that easy. I think pictures with a lot of blank space are pretty, but apparently, they're not. Haha. So the @/issue_jonghyeon account is more active. It's getting a lot of reactions from fans. So whatever I do, I want to show even more.

What are you interested in lately?

I'm using acrylic paint to paint on a canvas. I've lost interest in just playing games, so I wanted to get a new hobby. I wanted to do something that could leave something behind. I watched YouTube videos about the basics of acrylic painting so I wanted to try it. I ordered some of the necessary materials and I try to paint in my free time. I've been into brunch for a while. I like putting salmon and cream cheese on a bagel and eating it with soup. I'll probably get sick of it since I keep eating it, but for now I'm still bearing with it. I like hobbies that I can do at home.

If there was a turning point during your time in the industry, what would it be?

First, when we came on "Produce 101 Season 2." The second one is after that, when NU'EST became complete again with five members. I think this present moment is the third one. Looking back on it, those were all times when I was able to grow so much.

Is there someone or something that's like a mentor to you?

I used to not like depending on others, so even when I was working, I would worry and do things on my own. These days, I'm trying to depend on my members and my fans. I also talk a lot with the CEO of my company and my staff.

What has pulled you forward all this time?

For this one, I truly can't say anything other than the fans. I work hard because these people are here.

What are Kim Jonghyeon's goals and intentions?

Isn't it just to work like how I am now? Rather than setting a huge goal, I think I want to always learn and improve myself in the process. Though a lot of people compliment me, I know what I lack, so I want to keep growing while working to fill those parts where I could do better.

You seem like the type to crack the whip when it comes to improving yourself.

I'm strict when working, but when I'm at home, I'm just like "I don't care~" (laughs) My MBTI is ISFP. If it's a rest day, I just let it pass and I just like to lie around. On the other hand, I try to be strict when it's time to work.

What are your future plans?

Right now, I'm learning a lot of things and preparing. I hope to show a lot of things within the year. I expect to be active in the latter half of the year, so I hope for your anticipation and support.
