#it's super cool that you learn choreo too!

[mr-honee]

hihi am the one who asked abt kpop groups!! idrk what kind kf style for dances you like but riize has rly cool wns lowk complex dances (imo, im still struggling w rhem) siren and get a guitar r fun!!!!

hello, thanks for dropping by again :]

I'm familiar with riize choreography! siren has caught my eye as a fun dance for sure, get a guitar is definitely catchy, and the chorus for boom boom bass looks satisfying to execute too. also, I'm always down to watch shotaro perform.

I'm looking through the list of dances I've done, but it's hard to pick out a particular style preference. probably either aggressive dances with a lot of power (e.g. jopping, 458 by cix, tiger by hoshi, brought the heat back) or suaver but still sharp technical dances (e.g. who by astro, nightwalker by ten, watch it by the boyz, creature by e'last). I also did criminal by taemin once for a showcase, which my dance colleagues say specifically matched my style, so maybe something like that.

my dance team was full of talented people who challenged me to grow in many ways, including dance style—I was the leader of our competitive unit one year, and even I was (voluntarily) shoved out of my comfort zone many times. I'm definitely grateful for that now, but man does it make it hard to pick favorites

Would the dps boys like the 2023 Barbie movie/how would they react to it?

☆ THE POETS' THOUGHTS ON BARBIE ☆

(please bare in mind that these are teenage boys in the 60s)

NEIL: not really his kind of movie (he's one for indie arthouse stuff, and all the poets tease him about just wanting to sound cool and different), but loves the portrayal of struggles slowly chewing away at Barbie, resulting in a breakdown, and then the reveal of it all belonging to the human experience. It makes him feel understood in a small way. Plus he thought the Kens were hot but shhh

TODD: loves 👏 the 👏 colours 👏 the whole pastel vibe is super calming to him and he likes the music, and that end bit with the trees and montage bits? it definitely touches him, kinda like Keatings speeches do, plus it was his first entry to mainstream feminism (seeing that the boys literally have like zero contact with girls), giving him a chance to maybe do some research from then on!

CHARLIE: hot take but charlie would be annoyed by its portrayal of women's struggles, he'd totally be the type of guy to like chuckle a bit when the speech about how women have to be way too many things at once comes up. i know the book is not canon and the worst but there's a scene in there where charlie gets annoyed at Gloria being like "oh it's nice that you don't just wanna make out with me but also care about my inner values" and i think that is kinda true to Charlie (at least seeing how he pretends to create poetry for the girls to show off)? Ultimately, he did want girls to join Welton just so the boys could stop "beating off", and he is just a 16 year old boy when it comes down to it- so I think that he'd love the music and would definitely identify with Ken, but I'm afraid to say he'd make fun of the feminist aspect. He has room to grow though! I genuinely believe that Charlie learns and gets better <33

KNOX: LOVES it. Come on, tell me knox isn't absolutely in love with the movie and forces the poets to watch it again because this time he wants to sing along. Oh also think he'd talk about it with Chris to like see if she shares the experience described in the movie, and knox is pretty shocked to learn that huh, women do experience discrimination?? Tries his best to be extra nice and thoughtful afterwards

MEEKS: thought it was good, but could have been better. Meeks is definitely the poet with the most education on the women's rights movement and expected something a bit more fierce or outgoing, but he still appreciates that you have to please the masses and for people who know nothing about feminism at all, like most of his friends, it's a good starting point. Laughed SO much about the horse jokes.

PITTS: thought it was funny. didn't think about the message too much, just enjoyed the music and storytelling, plus he was a big fan of the reference at the beginning! Learns the I'm just Ken choreo with Knox, and has the songs stuck in his head for the next days.

CAMERON: surprisingly moved by it. I think he'd recognise both his parents in Barbie and Ken. I'm also of the belief that Cameron is super insecure, so I think that he'd identify with barbie a LOT, but feels kinda weird about that. Doesn't say much when asked about how he liked the movie by the others.

@folkloreforever sorry I took so long!

♡ please feel free to send me asks about the poets or dps in general, or even if you just wanna say hi! i love hearing from you guys! ♡

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

I don't think I've ever said this, but SM had an actual great idea for Aespa's comeback. All their MVs are excellent (and the track videos were great marketing) - unlike normal SM MVs, these MVs are pretty, diverse, set outdoors, and have their own story and aesthetics each. Welcome to MY World has a super pretty MV, Spicy was very Mean Girls/High School Musical inspired and the aesthetics were trendy yet classy (Aespa's thing is being cool and untouchable so they fit so well with those aesthetics), Salty & Sweet was weird but looked cool, Thirsty was 90s inspired and playful, and the girls did some nice acting, I'm Unhappy was great - the story, the lyrics, everything was great, I loved it and wasn't expecting something with meaning from them. All the videos were like movies. They had great styling, editing, cinematography, etc. The best part is that you don't need to know or care about their lore to enjoy the videos. SM learned their lesson and made MVs that can be enjoyed by anyone while continuing Aespa's lore. I'll also add that I like Spicy's choreo. I like Aespa's lazy, cool girl choreos. Like, I love the Next Level choreo and how they execute it. Their choreos look cool imo, and not awkward or low-effort. The girls execute each move in Spicy well and it's satisfying to watch. I was watching Ningning's fancam, and she did everything flawlessly so it was so satisfying. She's graceful, yet sexy, powerful and playful. She had great facial expressions too. I love that sassy hand clap thing and the way she says "So bad.". I think the Spicy choreo is fun and flirty and fits them. Giselle isn't a great dancer, but she didn't look bad in her fancam. I think Winter is the lead dancer, but she lacks power when she dances. Still, she didn't look bad either. Karina danced with power and she's the main dancer. While she did everything right, I think Ningning had sass and personality and was much funner to watch - for those reasons, she did a better song bringing the song to life too. She's such a rockstar. Even if Aespa aren't brilliant dancers, they look good, cool, and confident when they dance. They execute the moves properly and with the right attitude, which is honestly much better than having awkward and complex choreos no one can pull off. Their dancing might be a bit underrated. They all look much better dancing than NMIXX, for example (imo).

[shytastemakerthing]

hii!! U seem so cool- but anyway,, could i get a twisted wonderland match up? My grammar kinda sucks and my auto corrects off so😭

I would like for it to be more romantic, if thats ok! Also pls dont match me up with any of the 1st years since i would honestly just adopt them in twst😭

Sooo im an enfp 7w6, scorpio, green flag.. Yeahhh

But other than that,, (about to write a whole essay abt my personality) what abt my personality?

Soo im honestly kindaa uhm,, goldfish-like; i have a crap memory. and whenever in a serious situation, one where you need to stay on guard, i instantly calm down after someone cracks a joke and forget abt the whole situation.. So bcuz of that i get called "the goldfish of (gc name)" 🥲

But im really motherly and caring! I always take care of my loved ones like a nurse, so pretty much- im my friends personal nurse AND doctor (as someone who startes studying abt medical stuff when i was like 10,, young, ik) i also take care of stray animals whenever i get the chance. feeding them, taking care of their wounds, whatever! Im a good balance of childish and mature, though i fall more on the childish side! I honestly give out 'sad, wet cat' vibes at first, since i mostly spend time alone, sulking abt being alone, reading in the library alone.. but im the total opposite! Honestly kinda weird but in a good way? Super kind, and generous, and sympathetic, i always consider other peoples feelings first ofc! Honestly kind of a people pleaser🥲 softhearted person with anger issues huhu.. Also keyword 'with anger issues' because i can and will beat someone up who did one simple thing to make me mad, even if theyre like 6'2 IDGAF FIGHT ME IM 5'10 ITS NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE🙄🙄 veryvery energetic or the opposite, depends. havent slept for like 2 weeks straight😇

Now I'll just say the exact words my friends said when i asked them what they thought of me-

"funny, cute, and she lavs astronomy ahhajaja" "ure the friend whos effortlessly funny but gay /j but srsly youre the friend whos funny but super girlboss whenever there are fights and uses emojis every sentence they send" "the fish i ate for dinner" "cute nmn, and fun too, but annoying sometimes😒" "youre literally just like your father but as a girl,, stubborn, charming, ignorant, brave.. And you even have the same facial feaures." "Soft girl vibes" "VOODOO DOLL SELLER IKAW"

And for my hobbies.. I have a lot tbh LEMME JUST-

Astronomy; stargazing.. IT GIVES ME SO MUCH PEACE OMG

Exploring; going to abandoned and apparently 'haunted' places brings me so much joy somehow

Dancing; practicing ballet but my friends drag me to learn the choreo of a kpop song😭

Singing; opera😻

Sports; BADMINTON, BASKETBALL, SOCCER, VOLLEYBALSLSMSJKAHSKXVJSDJ LOBVE THIS

Gaming; tbh i rarely do it anymore😭

Collecting; plushies, seashells, etc..

Art; SCULPTING, DIGITAL, TRADITIONAL, MUSIC, ETC. I CAN DO IT ALL OMGG

Thats all i think😔 I dont wanna waste ur time so thank you huhuu BYEE HAVE A GREAT YEAR MWAMWA

-lav hoshii

Hello and thank you for your request! Honestly I had a lot of fun reading over this and I believe I have just the guy for you so here we go!

I match you with.......

Floyd Leech

🦐 You two bounce off of each other so freaking much that it is insane. At this point, you're the most interesting person in his life and he isn't planning on letting you go ANY time soon and that's a fact.

🦐 Floyd is someone who butts heads with a lot of people, and I mean, a LOT of people. He's not one to shy away from a fight, even in those ones where he is clearly out numbered. It's more fun for him. But what he really loves is how you patch him up after each and every one. Sure, you badger him about all of these fights, but it's only because you care about him, and as you place a kiss to each wrap and bandaid, he can only hopelessly grin at you...... he is smitten.

🦐 Your memory isn't the best, and while Floyd seems like the aloof type, he is actually very smart, very perceptive, and has an excellent memory. He will remember anything you can't and it greatly comes in handy when needed.

🦐 Being with Floyd, also means you will be seeing a lot of Jade. Sorry, they're a two for one package deal (Azul's words). And while his twin was highly skeptical of you at first (when is he not skeptical of someone?), just seeing you with Floyd, and all the shenanigans you both get up too and how you always take care of him, you're basically family now at this point.

🦐 He is in the basketball club! Which is perfect for you! You love basketball and you two have player 1v1 quite a lot. Just be careful, because he can and WILL get competitive. Also, if you wear his jersey to his games, he has this derpy smile the entire time and will be showing off just for you. He turns into an absolute beast on the court. You're now the good luck charm of the NRC basketball team and Ace and Jamil always make sure you're there.

🦐 He finds out early on in the relationship about your habit of collecting sea shells. Now, because of him that collection has expanded a great amount. Look, you're dating a merman, he can and will be going under the water to gather the best and biggest shells thay he can find for your ccollection. But your personal favorite is a little cream colored chipped clam shell. He brought that one back after finding it randomly on a walk and it is now the most cherished one in the collection.

🦐 The way your mood fluctuates matches how his does, and while it annoyed him at first (like, is this how Jade and Azul feel when his does that?), he was able to quickly find out what can set you off or change your mood and is able to quickly adjust accordingly. Though he will admit that you look pretty hot when you get angry and tackle someone twice your size.

🦐 He would absolutely love to go exploring with you. It can be boring, it can be dangerous, so much could happen that you just don't know and that's what makes it exciting! If you ever get bored of looking at the supposedly haunted houses, he'll happily supply a breathing potion and he can show you some really cool shipwrecks!

🦐 Overall, a relationship with the reckless eel with legs is nothing short of an adventure. You know you'll never be bored, he loves how considerate you are with him and how you take care of him. And Azul and Jade are beyond thankful that you can actually get him to focus on his work, only if you're there, though 😅

[ridiasfangirlings]

anna gets really into idol groups (girl groups specifically) and is trying to learn the choreography to a song but the song is for a group of four and she doesnt have anybody else to dance with her (imagine her trying to ask the homra guys and one after the other refuses her each with a worse excuse than the other) kamamoto is the only one who willingly accepts, while yata and saruhiko get dragged along somehow.

The four are doing a very girly choreo but ana is having fun and that's all that matters (to yata and kamamoto, at least) at some point even saruhiko has a small smile on his face, even tho he isnt really dancing but more like standing and sometimes squatting down to match the others, they are all just laughing and playing around until the door bursts open and mikoto walks in and just stares at the boys while a long awkward silence lasts for a couple of seconds before anna walks to the door and closes it telling mikoto he cant see the dance yet !! they will be showing the whole clan when they are ready !! (and the three are just frozen in their place with a blank expression like: say what?)

Okay but could the other Homra guys really even refuse, who could say no to Anna XD I’m assuming this is pre-betrayal, maybe it’s like shortly after Anna joins the clan. She’s fitting in well but she’s still a little shy and everyone’s really encouraging her to be herself. One day Kamamoto, Yata, and Fushimi walk into the bar as she’s there alone listening to the radio while Kusanagi is working in the back. The group on the radio is singing some girl band school idol-type song and Anna is dancing to it, trying her best to do the choreography that she’s seen before in videos but she’s stumbling a bit. The song ends and Kamamoto claps, so impressed, Anna gives this surprised little gasp because she didn’t realize anyone saw her. She’s all embarrassed and Yata quickly tries to tell her not to be, like no you looked really cool there, I bet everyone would like to see you dance. Kamamoto agrees, he and Yata just being super encouraging as Anna shyly admits that she likes this group and always wanted to dance that way. Yata says they’ll even help her, probably thinking he can like help teaching the choreography, and then Anna’s eyes shine a little as she asks if he’ll be in her ‘group.’ Yata’s all ‘huh?’ but Kamamoto says yes, trying to be helpful, and Anna gets noticeably excited (Fushimi tries to subtly leave the bar and Yata just grabs him by the arm like don’t you even dare).

Some time later the three of them are with Anna in her room, Fushimi’s set up a PDA where they can watch videos and Anna’s trying to get them to help mimic her favorite dances. Fushimi is initially resistant but then Yata starts teasing him like sorry you suck at this so much unlike me, this unlocks Fushimi’s competitive side so now of course he isn’t going to lose to stupid Misaki. Kamamoto is somehow managing to float around like a ballet dancer even though he’s in his winter form. None of them are perfect but Anna’s becoming more relaxed and happy the more they practice, feeling less self conscious and like she’s allowed to have fun and laugh. Her good mood is spreading to everyone else too, even Fushimi can’t be completely dour as they keep messing up the dance and Yata’s adding steps and it’s just a good time.

They all manage a coordinated spin and point at the sky when suddenly there’s the sound of clapping. Yata, Fushimi and Kamamoto all pale a little as they turn to see Mikoto and Totsuka standing in the doorway. Yata tries a mortified ‘M-Mikoto-san…how long…’ as Anna runs happily up to him. She tells him they’re practicing and Mikoto nods like ‘hmm,’ totally expressionless as he pats her head before she tells him he can’t watch the rest until they perform for the whole clan. The other three are quietly processing that ‘wait, whole clan?’ as Mikoto nods and takes his leave, as they’re walking out Totsuka adds that he’ll bring his camera so they can get “the whole performance” on tape. Yata’s all pale as he asks Anna if they’re gonna do this in front of the whole clan and she just looks back at him innocently all “yes, the whole clan.”

Cyn's Top 10 Kpop Songs of 2023

Yes I know this is late but it's still January so who cares. I'm limiting this to korean title tracks and prerelease singles. Perhaps I'II make one for my favorite b-sides later. Alright lets go!

10. Lit by Stayc - I'll admit this one is kind of a sneak. I didn't even really get this song until this month. When I got it though I got it HARD. I think I listened to it on repeat for an hour straight. Do I actually think it's better than Teddy Bear and Bubble? Maybe not but I do think I like it the most. It's so brain scratchy!

9. Rising by TripleS - What a great song to be the group's official debut! I can really tell that they're Loona's little sister group in this song. Not that it sounds exactly like a Loona song but it has all these little moments where I can hear it. Probably because its a jaden jeong + monotree joint. Anyway it's a really good song and the chorus hits hard.

8. Perfume by NCT Dojaejung - My sister described this as a strut song which is so accurate. This song makes you feel like THAT BITCH. It's super smooth and sexy and really really good. Interesting vibe from NCT (That being said l'm a sticker defender so believe me I have nothing against the NCT sound)

7. Air Force One by Odd Eye Circle - The return of oec fully rocked my world. I was ranting and raving about the loonaverse implications of this song / mv / mini album for days. It's also just a really cool song! Daradaradadada~

6. Giddy by Kep1er - my babies!! Their best title track since Wadada. Also the dance is adorable. I immediately taught myself the chorus choreo. I'm incredibly biased towards these girls so I was tempted to put this higher but I held myself back.

5. Zero by New Jeans - Now I know what you're thinking, "Why tf is that your new jeans entry?" and "That's literally a coca cola ad. What's wrong with you?" This is my list though and Zero was legitimately my top kpop song on my spotify wrapped. I listened to it an ungodly number of times. It has like a weird hypnotic effect on me so I listen to it while I study.

4. Kick It 4 Now by The New Six - My top boy group jam of the year. Again shout out to my bg stan sister to putting me onto this. She truly keeps me in the loop in that regard. Pure happiness in a song it's SOOO FUN!

3. Queencard by (G)I-dle - Must every song be deep? Can't we all just have a silly girly time? My boob and booty hot!! In all seriousness though I think Jeon Soyeon is a genius. Ya'll might think her lyrics are weird but you just don't understand her like me. This is the song on this list that I think will have the most lasting impact. We'll all be looking back fondly on Queencard.

2. Underwater by Chuu - Underwater feels like a breath of fresh air to listen to. This song is so comforting; Chuu's voice is like a hug. It for real makes me emotional. It's so Taeyeon coded which is an incredibly good thing in my book.

1. Unforgiven by Lesserafim - This was my anthem of the year no question. I don't know if Lesserafim will ever be able to top this. It's just flawless. Potentially my favorite kpop album of the year all together too. Idec that half of it is songs we've already heard. I love having greatest hits in one place and Lesserafim's greatest hits are really good!

A Bunch of Honorable Mentions: In Bloom by ZB1 (just barely missed the list. They're the boys to watch right now), Madeline by Limelight, Memories by Riize, We Are Young by Tri.be, I Am by IVE (another close one), Bubble by Stayc, Invincible and Girls Capitalism by Triple S (they had a great year), OMG by New Jeans, Bite Me by Enhypen (I actually went to a kpop dance class where we learned this choreo), Fighting by BSS, One and Only by Boynextdoor (naturally snatch-ed!!), Bad News by Kiss of Life

[kimtaegis]

I listened to the remixes today! Most of them were fine, it was nice listening to them but nothing extra. (I feel like I sound like a hater sorry😭) I really liked the acoustic version though! His voice paired with the guitar sounded sooo good 🥹 I don't know why they chose to process his voice so much in the original song since he sounds great without it too, hence the acoustic version. I'm relieved that I finally like it because while I was okay with not liking this album as much as I did FACE, it made me sad that I didn't like it but now I have the acoustic version. 🫂

I watched the Fallon performance too and I loved it! I guess it would be a live version since I can't really compare it to any of the remixes and it definitely sound better (to me) than the original one. It was amazing! The dance was fantastic, I liked the fixed-but-not-really camera positions they did, he sounded amazing and his dancers were great too! I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way but I love it when you can hear them breathe while they sing live. Idk why but it just makes the performance realer to me? So when are we getting this version? :D

My favorite remix was the rock one!! It was amazing and I understand why everyone keeps begging bts to do a rock album :D I loved fake love's rocking vibe mix too.

I'm really happy for everyone who likes the album! I wish more people would be open to negative(-ish?) opinions, because not all of them come from a bad place. Me saying I didn't like the album as much and that Who's autotune ruined the song for me is simply an opinion but I have no intention bashing Jimin or the crew who worked on the song 🤷‍♀️ The day kpop fans finally learn that people have different tastes and opinions is the day the world will finally heal..

I've been listening to the album on and off since it came out and I definitely like it a bit better since Friday. Rebirth grew on me a lot! I'm still a bit neutral about Slow Dance. Be Mine really is a bop, it will probably stay as my favorite from the album :) Well, until the acoustic and rock remix take the no.1 spot :D

Well, I would say FACE will still be my no1 Jimin album (for now), but I do like MUSE better after a few days. It will be hard to top FACE for me, I mean Alone is my favourite song of all time and it beat out songs like Mikrokosmos, TTU and Tear which held the spot for years :D But I truly am happy for him and I'm glad many people are liking the album 🫂 and he's crazy for all the records he was breaking with just one version.. not to get into talking about charts but now I'm really curious just what is he gonna achieve with multiple versions.. and sorry for the long ask again :D

sooooo happy to hear you enjoy the remixes and the live performance more, bye bye autotune for youuuu 😍😍😍 I think the performance adds a lot of flavour to the whole song, I loved it too, the location and the way it was filmed was so cool. someone pointed out earlier under one of my sets that they’ve used lots of space for the choreo so the formations just look super dope with the men and women groups, it reminds me of musicals somehow? and I totally get what you mean by the breathing in the mic!! like yes, that’s a human doing this, not some machine, it adds so much character.

it’s sweet that you keep coming back to the album even though you don’t have to. sometimes you really have to sit with something for a bit you know, let it marinate. and sometimes the time is also just not the best and you have to come back to it when you’re in the right mindset for it (indigo is my example for this). but again, it’s also alright that it probably won’t be your favourite for good. according to the bts and jimin songs you mentioned you loved, the tracks on MUSE are really just not your type (see, I’m more of an upbeat girlie, Alone is one of my least favourites from jimin so far haha). as you said, FACE and all those other songs will never not be there for you so it’s all good! and lastly I wanna say I really appreciate your attitude and the way you went around expressing your criticism, I also wish there would me more fans that’d be able to do it that way 🤍

4*Town Headcanons

dropping these before the manga is released, still shocked by the announcement 😭

some of these not hcs they are facts tho

had this in the drafts for a while

Robaire

- 20 yo

- super chill personality, yet his charisma overflows with charm that pulls you in

- the ace of the group, the whole package: sing, rap, dance, songwrite (technically not a HC but i wanted to use the term lol)

- was scouted from a Youtube video of him covering a song

- he knew he was auditioning for being a group, but was still amazed when actually meeting the members because they were so talented

- compliments his members in French whenever (trés bien, magnifique etc.)

- he thought of the idea of unbuttoning one button on his top to show his stomach and the stylists fully supported him

- reads books to get inspiration for songs and on his free time

- his favorite flower is the red rose

- super kind to his staff and treat them like friends (wishing happy birthday or asking about their personal lives or opinions on things)

- writes the most beautiful poems, very romantic

- cares the most about his fans, very interactive and doesn’t mind a autograph or photo when he accidentally bumps into one

- there was a evaluation where each member tried to take on leader duties and at the end, they all voted Robaire, it was obvious but it was insisted to help get to know one another better and see each other’s strengths and weaknesses

- Tae Young is like a younger brother to him, his hope

- Jesse is like the cool older brother that he can depend on when things get stressful, the member he really looks up to

- Aaron T and Aaron Z are like his two twin cousins who he can have fun with

- says “i love you” a lot to his members, he’s very vocal about respect and love for them

- his favorite type of kiss is the French kiss 😳

- he has the best fashion taste of the band, second being Tae Young, then Z and Jesse, and lastly T.

Tae Young

- 18 yo

- bubbly personality, he’s the “happy virus” and mood maker of the group

- since he’s youngest, they treat him with special care, such as accepting his physical affection even if they aren’t the touchy type

- names his fostered doves after the members or magical names

- really looks up to his members and during their early days, he cried because he was afraid of pulling the group down, and they assured him he did not and had a special place in 4*town only he could fill (youngest, and the cutest charm, also his vocals)

- loves to snack, willing to accept any food or restaurant recommendations his fans recommend

- grew up with sisters and a nice household that encouraged his creativity, such as painting his nails

- his favorite colors are pastels

- most in tune with each member’s interests: he would attempt French with Robaire and help choose words for poems, joins Jesse in making ceramics and gushing about art, join in whatever fun “T” has up his sleeves (pranks) or learn acrobatics with him, and he would play basketball with “Z” and freestyle choreos with him

- works out the least, but it’s one of his goals, fans express fear because they “will miss their baby” when the time comes. usually dances or does yoga

- can tolerate spicy food really well

- is into K-pop and that was his inspiration to audition for 4*town, he honed his singing and dancing skills by himself mostly from watching videos, from all the karaoke sessions he did and dance classes his parents signed him up for too.

- his natural hair color is black

- he decorates the mirror in their tour bus with cute stickers and affirmations written on post it notes for all the members to see

- he beatboxes for the group, when he’s bored, he would make random beats and the members would do acapella around it if they wanted to

- calls the members “hyung” (meaning older brother in Korean) by habit

- loves to back hug his members to surprise them. he gets really flustered when someone else does it to him though ! 🥺

- he bought face wash headbands for each of the members for their birthdays (cat ears for Jesse, bunny ears for T, a frog eyes for Robaire, and bear ears for Z, and a bow one for himself)

Jesse

- 21 yo

- down-to-earth personality, very humble and loving

- the pillar of the group since he’s the oldest and sensible member along with Z

- he sang on his free time while he was studying in art school, his friends loved it so much they recommended him to audition

- works out the most (look at those guns man, carrying Priya in one arm in that one photo)

- best artistic sense, the members often ask his opinions on their songwriting if he can paint a picture (either just saying it aloud or actually painting) based on the song to help visualize or understand their work more or to get peer review

- his kids are often his motivation in his artwork and pretty much everything, along with his fans and members etc

- most pickiest eater, usually eating healthy, not because he’s judges, but more on what his body tolerates, though he respects all kinds of food (food is also an art to him)

- it was Jesse’s idea to get matching rings for the band, he suggested it to the staff and they awarded the boys with them after a year anniversary of training together

- does acts of service the most, getting water for his members at the studio or lending them towels when the practice dancing (his dad side really shows)

- he’s very careful about privacy and will not hesitate in calling out stalkers, handles situations professionally and it’s admirable

- the quietest laugh, different from Z’s short snickers, T’s loud bursts or Tae Young’s and Robaire’s perfect romance drama chuckles. the members find it cute and wonder if he was ever holding it in but it’s just his nature

- closest to Robaire, who understands him the most (he is the leader), Robaire usually checks up on everyone and it means a lot to Jesse when he checks up on him. they depend on each other a lot in their group, both being very responsible and caring about the band as a whole

- since he is the tallest member, the others often rest their heads on his shoulder if they are really tired, or just out of affection (most likely Tae)

- has a sketchbook that he draws whatever scenery he likes while they tour, also drawing the members (often when T is asleep, meanwhile Tae loves to pose for him, while Z and Robaire are perfect models doing whatever they are doing in the moment as they are still and calm) he practices his observational skills when drawing the members

- he played piano as a kid and got in touch with it again after being in 4*town

Aaron T

- 19 yo

- cooks the best, both Aarons cook the best, 3rd being Jesse and the okay cooks being Tae and Robaire (who are more eaters/prepares food)

- he is the member who sings the most offstage on their free time, 2nd place being Robaire and Tae Young, Jesse hums and sings a bit, while Z sings less offstage (they sing in their dance practice and studio more)

- being the bass singer, he loves to show off his range, he would make voice impressions of people and make voices for objects

- he has the most flexible body along with Z

- closest with Z and Tae the most, often sharing his feelings or joking around with them

- he’s more calmer with Robaire but still the jokester, he can confine in the leader for assurance if has doubts

- he loves to mess with Jesse and make him laugh, just because he looks quiet most times, and T loves making him smile

- can crush a whole soda can with one hand, often struggling, meanwhile Z does it in a flip

- he can play guitar (along with Robaire and Tae)

- he sings out at random times, he would make unexpected covers of songs and it would sound so good ✨

- he’s that one person who sings “happy birthday” all extra with riffs and everything

- he’s the official 4*town hype man, all the members depend on his energetic spirit, so it’s off if he gets really sad and feeling low (which all of them would go and cheer him up)

- the most ticklish member, the least being Tae and the other three have different ticklish spots (Z: his neck. Jesse: under his arms. Robaire: his sides)

- would stan K-pop with Tae, learning the moves and singing the melodies

- has the longest tongue out of the group, like a dog, so the members often see him like a puppy

- he skateboards, as a kid, he made many mistakes and it led to him keeping a first aid kit at all times

- has a whole collection of caps to wear, he flips the cap forward to hide his face when he gets embarrassed

- his hair is naturally curly

- him, Tae, and Robaire does the most vocal covers

- he would ask the members to do the riff / run challenge

- quick on his feet, does the best footwork

- has the longest eyelashes out of the group, he can balance cotton swabs on them

- he would let Tae paint his nails, often on his pinky and middle finger for style, instead of all the fingers. (it would be orange or white)

- he requires 4*townies to do the signature 4 finger hand pose in order for them to approach him if they ever see him out in public

- serenades his members for fun or to comfort them, him and Tae would duet a lot

- him and Z were childhood besties ever since they known each other, bonding over their shared names, they auditioned together

- Tae and T are the most outdoorsy type, along with Robaire, but Tae and T are more likely to go shopping and eat out together

Aaron Z

- 19 yo

- most chill member of the group, along with Robaire.

- has a RBF which can be really hard to read, which makes it hard to understand his feelings and intentions at times

- the best listener out of the group, hardly judges and gives out pretty good advice, the group agrees he could be the second leader

- he doesn’t do well with eye contact when he is embarrassed

- him and Robaire does dance/ vocal/rap battles for fun.

- him and Jesse together are the quietest pair, the members think they do telepathy in their minds, they have comfortable solitude. his feedback on Jesse’s artwork is usually meaningful to the artist

- all of the members drive, but Z drives the best and remembers different routes + roads better, he’s the group’s driver when their chauffeur or manager isn’t around

- played basketball ever since he was in grade school, he won many games through his junior and high school years

- he danced and sang on the side, music being his big inspiration and workout music

- T and Z would collab a lot during their high school years, both talented in dancing and singing

- T is actually one of his biggest inspiration and vice versa, they wouldn’t have debut in 4*town without each other

- he usually tries to confront things honestly if he sees something bothering him and doesn’t hold grudges, and is stoic. but once he gets angry enough, he can be the most scariest person

- falls asleep the easiest, at any moment of when the atmosphere is right or if he’s super tired

- T and Tae would cuddle him or lay on his shoulders if they happen to fall asleep with him too in the waiting room etc

- Tae Young’s animals like Z the most, he’s an animal magnet

- talks in basketball metaphors when he gives advice

- Z has the most sharpest glare when angry (basically don’t get him mad)

- also bilingual, speaks his Asian language (not sure of his specific race) (also the only member who isn’t bilingual is Jesse, but he picks up words from each of the members languages as much as he can)

- T would make constellations out of Z’s freckles, he caught on and they do it back and forth to each other. they would say “the photographers caught my fish on camera”

- both would allow their fans to come up with different things they see from their freckles

A list that no one asked for:

My Top 10 Anime:

(I’ve only really watched romance anime so that’s all that’s on the list)

‼️ Spoilers Ahead ‼️ (I tried not to put too many)

Also just want to say before I start that I love the animation style of all of these shows, they’re all so beautifully done! (Didn’t want to say that for each review lol)

(Also I cried after I finished 5/10 of these shows 😂)

10. Maid Sama

Up first we have Maid Sama. This anime is a good enemies to lovers (for one side at least) story that has lots of humor as well as good characters. The ending did remind me of a typical rom com where it felt kind of abrupt but overall the show was very good. Usui and Misaki’s relationship is 👌🏽. I’d give it a 7/10.

9. Yuri on Ice

This was the first anime I ever watched. I had just started watching figure skating after the 2018 olympics (if you know you know) so I thought this show would also be a good one to watch. The end credit choreo is also based on a routine done by my fave ice dancers (Virtue/Moir pls come back)! I don’t remember much about this anime since it’s been a while since I watched it, but the storyline was really good and progressed well and the characters were also cool. Viktor and Yuri were also very soft 🥺. I’d give it a 9/10!

8. Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun

This anime is so cute! All of the characters are super cool and the show pushes the boundaries of gender stereotypes. ⚠️ Spoiler ⚠️ while the main couple don’t actually end up together, the overall story is very cute, humorous and definitely worth watching. The only downside of this show is that it’s so short! (12 episodes) I’d give it a 9/10!

7. Cells at Work

This show is such an interesting concept! It basically teaches you about the different processes your body goes through by telling a story. It mainly focuses on red and white blood cell and features many other different organisms in your body that help fight off various diseases or illnesses throughout the series. The platelets in particular are so adorable! The show has 2 seasons (as well as a spinoff with different characters that I haven’t watched yet) so there’s plenty of learning to be had! I’d give it an 8/10.

6. Orange

This fucking show omg! This show made me bawl during the finale! This show features 5 friends who meet Kakeru and befriend him. Throughout the series, Kakeru and Naho develop their relationship and secrets are revealed. The show does feature a dark theme, but it’s so good! At times Naho did annoy me with some of the things she did, but otherwise I thought the show was great! Suwa must be protected at all costs and Hagita is the MVP. I’d give the show a 9/10!

5. Given

This show is such a good example of LGBT love! It tells the story of Mafuyu who wants to learn guitar and three bandmates who invite him into their band. All of the characters in this show are great and the story is so good! I also like that it has a movie and an ova (that takes place at the same time as the movie) so there’s plenty of content to watch! I’d give it a 10/10!

4. Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

This show is so cute! This one is different from a lot of the typical anime romances, it actually features adults with jobs! The four main characters have a super cute dynamic and their interactions are very funny. The two main ships are very cute, but I do prefer Kabakura and Hanako over Narumi and Hirotaka. They have an rivals to lovers story and it’s one of my favorite tropes so of course I prefer them! Narumi and Hirotaka are still adorable in their own way as well as Kou and Naoya (the other couple). This show also has 3 ovas (one of which came out a few months ago) that are super cute and definitely worth watching when you finish the main show! I’d give it a 10/10 with the only downside being that it’s too short (13 episodes)!

3. Kamisama Kiss

This is the most recent anime that I watched. It tells the story of Nanami Momozono and how she became a land god. It also features her familiar Tomoe as the main love interest. This show had a really good pace and was very funny at times. I also liked all of the side characters and the fact that show has 2 seasons. I would definitely recommend watching all of the ovas. There’s 2 after the first season and 5 after the second. The ones in the first season provide context for the beginning of the second, and the last 5 ovas complete the story of these wonderful characters! I’d rate this show a 10/10

2. Toradora

This was the second anime I watched after Yuri on Ice. It’s such a good show! I love the characters and the way that Taiga and Ryuji’s relationship develops throughout the series. Since enemies/rivals to lovers is my fave trope, those two characters are one of my fave ships period. This show made me laugh and cry and is definitely one of my comfort shows! The ending was good but I wish there had been more after it, but I was still satisfied! If you do watch the show don’t forget to watch past the credits on the final episode! I’d give it a 9/10!

1. Horimiya

This show omg! This show gave me all of the feels! I can’t describe how much I love this show. The characters are so well done and I love that they don’t beat around the bush and tell it like it is. The relationship between Hori and Miyamura is so special. I relate to Miyamura so much and definitely need someone like Hori in my life. Also that one episode is extremely funny (if you know you know). The rest of the characters are also loveable and the whole cast together is amazing! This show made me laugh, cry and feel about every emotion there is! I’d definitely give it a 10/10

[wingspun]

dropping in a day late with nothing to show for it bc i’m a fool 😭 hiya hiya i’m melo ( 21+, s/h ) with my butterfly baby kang nabi!! she’s been in pelican almost all her life, went to a ~big city~ for university & made a big ruckus about leaving... & then popped back into town after graduation to take over her grandparents’ butterfly farm so it turns out she wasn’t leaving forever & ever ever ( dramatic goodbyes galore! ) 🤡 all i have is an about page but !! below the cut are some fun & exciting facts & plots!! please drop a like or an im if you wanna plot, or lmk if you’d like my discord!! 💖

FUN FACTS

her parents were both busy busy people, so she grew up a latchkey kid for a while before moving in with her grandparents who did have the time to take care of her

being raised by her grandparents did mean she got a little more spoiling than she was used to, so she’s got huge pampered only grandchild energy now

honestly was probably a bit of a class clown too so if something dumb’s happened, she’s usually somewhere in the middle of it

got her BIG BREAK going to the big city ( to be plotted where hehe ) for university on a scholarship & she made a hella big deal of it. dramatic goodbyes, last minute confessions of all her crimes, the whole shebang before she left

& it was super exciting & life changing & all that... except not as much as she thought? thought the city would change her but she came back & was like huh. nothing feels different tho. she’s still the same kang nabi!

so yeah! she’s back in stardew to learn the ropes from her grandparents to take over their farm, named nabi’s hutch after their very precious grandchild ( & bc i wanted to make a tiny pun ab the butterfly hutch from stardew )

chara inspos are heedo from 2521, dusik from hccc, heidi from the book series hehe

in my head she’s a bit impulsive but quite a determined person? self-assured & knows what she can ( rarely can’t ) do, sometimes comes off kinda spoilt / headstrong & will attempt to charm you as unsubtly as she can to get what she wants. a speedy go getter—though sometimes it backfires, when she jumps to conclusions or makes a hasty decision or just wants instant gratification

but also a huge lover of just!! being here & vibing & happy!! we’re young & its ripe for mistake making and lesson learning!! nabi’s excitable & loves doing big & exciting things but also loves tiny things like keeping an eye on a bud when it’s about to bloom or run around in the rain

PLOTS!

pelican town residents she told her true & honest thoughts about them ( or maybe some secret wrong she did... anything good/bad is cool hehe ) but now she’s back & kinda embarrassed

OR high school nabi confessed to u ( or broke up w u? ) in that heck it, i’m moving!! kinda way & 😭 if u see someone running away with a suspicious scarf over her head...

the one person who’s been getting mysterious postcards for the past few years bc nabi scuffed up her grandparents’ address

good ol childhood friends please her class clown in crime!!!! they’ve learnt every single soshi choreo together & that’s a bond that’ll never be erased

university friend ( from a more metropolitan place!! ) i don’t have any thoughts on where she went except big bustling metropolis so i’d be down for some fish out water shenanigans from nabi while she was in the city / ur muse while they’re in stardew now?

in the same vein!! a grump she’s dragging out to enjoy life & lighten up, run around & splash in rain puddles!!

she works at the butterfly farm/conservatory so plots around that would be fun!! do you think she looks like a lil butterfly fairy?? maybe u like the tranquility?? are u terrified & running outta there screaming bc u thought this was just a garden & a horde of flying terrors have descended on u?? possibilities are endless hehe

an honest sort of first love?? i haven’t finished 2521 but pleas

no thoughts head empty but let’s brainstorm hehe

[jeontaehui]

TAEHEE WITH NCT U

shotaro tarohee

shotaro ADORES . her

taehee, although very shy, was quick to get close with the two new members ,,, especially shotaro !!!! he’s very close to becoming her jisung pt. 2, he’s got her wrapped around his finger.

(un cut | take #4 resonance pt. 1) “shotaro!!!! have you just finished your shoot?,” taehee asks, a dimpled smile on her face as she does so. “yes, i just finished,” the younger one laughs softly.

taehee calls him ‘taro-chan’ with her iconic eye smile and the dimples on her cheeks.

(un cut | take #1 resonance pt. 1) “what do you think of the new members?,” the producer asked. “oh they’re so cute,” taehee pouts, “super cute. sungchan is so tall and handsome and shotaro is so cute and he dances really well. i adore him.”

taehee praises him all the chance she gets to reassure him, and helps him with his korean and she makes sure he also gets to speak.

she also knows a few tiktok dances here and there so she asks shotaro to teach her a few more (may or may not have filmed one or two tiktoks with him).

iconic moment (nct world 2.0 ep. 5) “i might be full already,” taehee hangs her head low as she mumbles. she was already nine plates in but each of them had to eat twenty-three plates of sushi to complete the challenge. so far, she has the highest number of plates after haechan who has ten. she decides to stretch and walk for a bit just like haechan had suggested, before sitting back down and counting each of the member’s plates.

“is it good?,” she asks shotaro while mindlessly getting another plate. the latter nods, taehee melting at the sight of his adorable eye smile, “it’s delicious.”

her smile quickly falters as she looks down at whatever plate she grabbed. something in her stirs as she groans over three long rolls of makizushi, waiting to be eaten as she thinks over her decisions in the past minutes, “this looks so good but i’m feeling so full.”

shotaro giggles when he hears this and raises his fist saying, “noona, fighting!”

and for some reason, taehee’s apetite had gone up again as she finishes her current plate. she then grabs one, two, three more plates of sushi and is now going for her seventeenth plate. realizing this, she can’t help but smile at the younger japanese boy who had encouraged her earlier. “woah, taro-chan you should cheer for me more. we’re gonna be out of here in no time.”

shotaro laughs once again, “you’re doing so well, noona. fighting!”

taehee turns to her other side, covering her face as she fake cries into haechan’s shoulder. “he’s so cute!”

song adore you by miley cyrus

sungchan chanhee

taehee makes it a point to show up and hype up sungchan from the sidelines as he shoots his scenes as a form of encouragement.

(90’s love mv reaction) “SUNGCHAN!!!!! YOU’RE DOING SO WELL!!!!!”

she’d also accompany him around set and get to know him more so he won’t feel lonely when waiting for the others to finish up.

sungchan is a Giant and taehee is used to patting her dongsaengs on the head but ,,, for sungchan she just pats his shoulder instead.

when they hug, sungchan has to bend down to reach her (out of respect and so that taehee could just really pat his head lol) and fans find it super endearing. 

(n’-151) “okay so, out of all the members,” haechan says to sungchan, “who has been the nicest and most helpful to you. you really have to think about it.” sungchan puts his arm around haechan’s shoulder, making the latter think it was going to be him, until he says, “taehee noona.”

sungchan actually isn’t afraid to ask taehee help in something, be it rap, gestures, or choreo. taehee’s glad to at least feel that he’s comfortable with her.

taehee tells sungchan not to be fooled by haechan, he should trust her more (which is followed by strings of protests coming from said member).

iconic moment (uncut take #8 | ‘90’s love’ mv behind) “right now, we’re filming a music video,” sungchan begins, holding the camera a little lower to fit both him and taehee in the frame. “yes. why’d you bring the camera lower?,” he chuckles at her teasing.

but he continues, “please tell me how i should look cool while filming,” and taehee proceeds to think over the words that could help him. “mmm, confidence is a given,” sungchan nods, “don’t hesitate ‘cause then that would look awkward.”

“don’t even like... think of the result too much. just be in the moment. feel the vibe of the song,” taehee finishes, nodding as the younger took in her words. “and don’t be too nervous,” she adds, “if something looks off, the staff would tell you. we would help you, you’re doing great so far anyways,” she pats his shoulder, “if you feel like doing something you’ve seen before, you can do it.”

taehee smiles as sungchan continues to process her words, he’s such a good dongsaeng. “is there any like, facial expression you want to try out?”

“i want to look artistic,” he smiles, “you’re good at that.”

taehee shies away at the compliment, her dimples poking from her cheeks, and sungchan’s smile widens at seeing this side of her. “um,” she clears her throat, a faint smile on her lips, “you can have your chin up like this. then ‘street ijen geunyang classic’, sungchan pays attention as she copies his part of the choreo. her fierce look dropping to a smug smirk when she says, “‘blow that.’ you can change expressions at that part.”

taehee watches as sungchan tries what she had just demonstrated, a proud smile showing itself when he was able to do so while adding his own flare to it.

“that’s great! you did great. i think the fans would like it too if you winked. can you wink?”

“i’ll try,” he chuckles, quite proud at himself at what he just did. “고마워, noona.”

“no problem! you can ask ten hyung too, he can have more ideas,” taehee suggests as she looks around for ten, “or haechan. remember, don’t-“

“fall for his charms,” they say together, the maknae chuckling at his older members’ antics. “you learn so well, sungchanie! good job!”

OMGG YOU'RE SEEING SEVENTEEN?? this is the same anon that complained about no groups coming to canada LOL im planning on seeing them on the other side :O WHOS YOUR BIAS?? also can i ask what you're taking in your bag/what size it is ? 😭😭 JSHSJS OTHER THAN THAT STAY SAFE LOVE AND HAVE TONS OF FUN 😍🤞

AHAHA HI AGAIN ANONNIE !! YES IM SEEING SVT T O D A Y AHHHSJSJSJJS IM FREAKING OUT svt is my ult ult group, while enha is like my ult/fav group atm ???? idk if that makes sense but hopefully you get what i mean 😭 so you can probably imagine just how excited and hyped i am. my heart is pounding and i’m feeling all giddy eeksjjdjd

but omggg you’re gonna be seeing them too !?? THATS AMAZING OMG YAS i didn’t know there were so many carats on my blog that’s actually so cool and makes me so happy for some reason 😭 i hope you have a good time seeing them whenever you do !! it’s gonna be awesome !!

my bias ?? hehehe it’s dokyeom 🥰 ugh ever since i first tried to choose a bias (i actually chose it v randomly, i didn’t know their names, faces, personality or anything jsjsjdjsj) i chose dk. it’s funny, i was trying to learn the don’t wanna cry choreo, and i was following dk so i just chose him to be my bias skdjsjdj super weird ik sksjdjdj but then i got to know him, and he stuck as my bias ever since ^_^ ugh i love him sm just everything about him, his vocals, personality, visuals, everything ,,,,, sorry 😭 i could go on and on about him, imagine how i’d be talking about svt as a whole 😭 but yeah they’re my ults, i love them sm 🥺 sorry i’m getting way too excited rn cuz it’s concert day skdjdjd

but to answer your question about the bag, for my arena specifically, we’re not allowed to bring bags over a certain size (it was like 14” x 14” x smth else djdjdjd) so i’m just bringing a small purse with things like my keys, hand sanitizer, my phone ofc, chapstick and lipstick, a pen that i always keep in my bag skdjd, an extra mask, tissues, oh yEAH AND MY WALLET SJDJDJ ,, and yk just the basics and essentials. no outside food or drinks are allowed in our arena so i’m just gonna be bringing a plastic water bottle so i don’t get dehydrated since i’m going early and i could just recycle it before i get in. but your arena/venue or whatever could have different rules, so i recommend looking it up before concert day. hope this helps !! ^_^

[bubmyg]

hi hannah! idk if you’ve talked about it before, but if you don’t mind could you expand on how 3J’s dance style/presence has changed and how you can tell jungkook trained in LA? i really love reading about your perspective on dance :) hope you have a good night!

as always this is me rambling incoherently and trying to organize my train of thought in the easiest way. im not a professional i've just danced since i was four and have a decent amount of time as a choreographer/teacher if u want my perspective <3

there isn't a super complicated way i look at jihope's evolution. they both obviously have retained and polished their respective styles over the years and have leaned way more into their personalities. as i've always said, the dancers that stand out for me are those that can convey something other than just the movement the choreographer taught them. jihope have always been outstanding dancers, they both came from dance backgrounds, and obviously idol choreography and idol stages are an entirely different beast than a classic ballet/contemporary school and the underground hiphop/street dance scene. but, as the years have gone on, they've certainly settled into themselves and their styles and their abilities and are absolutely two of the best dancers and performers in the entire industry. it's just a basic coming into your confidences as your professional career develops, nothing too complicated imo :-)

as for mister jaykay :'-) i look at it similarly to jihope. he was a child when they debuted so of course he's going to grow and evolve. but from a purely dance perspective, he came in just naturally "good" at a whole bunch of little things. he was a pretty good singer, a pretty good dancer, a pretty good rapper. of course he was sought by several companies, i imagine, because he had these little skills in a lot of things that could eventually be developed with training AND he's also just. very wonderful n willing to learn n eager n a hardworker so. who wouldn't want to hire him basically u know JFKLSFDJ

what i mean by "you can tell he got his initial training in LA" is the commercial aspect to his dance from debut to about hyyh. LA studios are very much tailored, for the most part, to producing commercial, marketable dancers. i'd say the demand for hiphop/jazz funk dancers is far bigger than a ballet dancer in for example like an old navy commercial lmao. this is especially true now. any LA studio with a youtube channel is full of dancers who essentially have built their image around being "influencers", going from studio to studio taking class from the big named choreographers set to popular top 40 hits and, when their videos get enough likes, are cast in random netflix originals and are seen on back to school commercials etc etc etc. it was the same vibe in 2012/2013, social media and the concept of an "influencer" just didn't exist as it did now. the target of the classes/studios was the same tho.

like i said earlier, idol choreography and idol performances are commercial in nature. that isn't meant derogatorily, of course they are artistic and beautiful and creative. but at the root of it, companies and the artists want to create something that draws in an audience, thus, the commercial aspect of it. with jeongguk having little dance training other than natural ability, some of his first exposure to dance was from this commercial, marketability approach. and yeah like i said, you can tell up until about hyyh era. but you can tell with....all of them imo. the early concepts and choreos were meant to draw in an audience. they were incredibly complex but at the very root of them, very commercial LA hiphop. obviously, they did it well and with something different that made them stand out. imo, it was their work ethic and creative passions but that's another discussion lmao

back then, i think jihope tended to execute the personality aspect of their choreography better than he did. their facial expressions and sharp movements didn't appear as forced, for the lack of a better word. but like. he was 15. bighit had like three dollars and a cricut to their name. the concept a lot of the time called for it. i don't fault him for it. i think him growing into himself makes him that much cooler.

now, jeongguk is just jeongguk. nothing, imo, about his dancing seems "forced" or because he was taught to bite his lip at a particularly count in the music. he's the true center, their shining main vocalist, a dancer that most certainly holds his own without needing any cheesy LA gimmick. that's just growing up, being a professional, finding yourself, and being yourself. he's rlly cool and i rlly love him, is all.

tldr; this was a rlly long winded way for me to say i think 3J as a whole have just matured into themselves and have become confident in their abilities but i think jeongguk is the particularly interesting member of dance line purely because of where his professional dance training came from in comparison to jihope.
