୨୧ release date — tba

୨୧ author's note — my baby! i love muns and as a press girlie myself, i had to make an mun-themed fic for my boy. mind you that i don't really understand the ACTUAL muns (unsc, who, etc.) cause i highkey don't want to get involved i just like writing!! this teaser is kind of short and sweet cause i know that the actual fic will be LONGER! so excited for you guys to read my works and what my imagination has to offer!!!!!!! enjoy this lil teaser. press 4 fanfic writers arise!

𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐒𝐄��𝐍𝐆 had it all.

the walls of his room were littered with delegate lanyards from conferences across the globe, "best delegate" certificates framed all over his house (and a couple crumpled up inside his desk to fit the space), and a collection of trophies that stood in every nook and cranny.

no one at decelis high dared to go against him. whenever it was, whether it was moderated caucus or unmoderated, he'd always have his country or character's placard raised high, ready to speak, or leading whatever bloc was being formed.

it was no doubt that no one has ever beat him. it was no doubt that he was decelis high's mun club's secretary-general. and those who chose to go against him either get crushed in fear or knew when to step back.

even with his "best delegate" status, he wouldn't have gone far without his best mates, park jongseong, sim jaeyun, and park sunghoon.

park jongseong or jay, most known for his cold stares in the debate room, ready to make a delegate tremble, would always chair crisis. he was decelis high's deputy secretary-general alongside heeseung. and although being heeseung's best mate, he never favored him when it came to awarding. it's just that he was naturally talented.

sim jaeyun, known for his popular slogan around the school; "jake it till you make it!", was the strongest when it came to knowing what a country or character believed in. his research skills were like a pirate on the hunt for lost treasure, he had all the facts, the data, and the proof to back up any stance. whatever heeseung needed to know, jake already had his back.

and park sunghoon. even though he was the quiet one of the bunch, his position papers never ceased to appeal any chair. even if he wasn't as strong in speaking out during committee sessions, his fingers were his weapon. the guys would always ask him why'd he chair press and not join in the heat with them, he'd always answer with a simple, "my words are stronger than my actions." where jay would always respond with "isn't that the other way around bud?"

the four were unstoppable when it came to model un. lee heeseung was unstoppable. he was. until you came along.

back to my masterlist?

mistletoe (kjw x f!reader)

genre: fluff; wc: 2.4k

a/n: guess who’s back, back again

but fr tho the liz brainrot is REAL she’s so ☹️☹️ and im in dire need of content for this cutie so someone had to take matters into their own hands

"ahh, jiwon-ah, you're so cute!"

that was the first thing jiwon heard as soon as she opened the door to the ive dorms: your usually quiet demeanor going out the window at the sight of her.

with a big, bright smile, you immediately launched yourself at the girl and threw your arms over her shoulders, bringing her in for a hug. the poor girl was flustered beyond belief, absolutely clueless about where to place her arms and as red as rudolph's nose. reluctantly, she wrapped them around your waist, which only prompted you to hug the girl even closer and tighter.

"i missed you so much, jiwonie, you don't even know," you whispered into her neck, as if you'd told her a secret. the poor girl's eyes went wide and she could feel her face heat up even more. you, though, you just thought she felt even more huggable considering the cold seoul air you walked through with your members to get to their dorm entrance.

speaking of members...

liz raised her gaze to meet 4 other pairs of eyes staring at the whole ordeal in front of them. their looks ranged from surprised at their usually reserved member being so affectionate, to a teasing smirk here and there, to a big smile from someone who's just happy to be there.

"chaewon-unnie! kkura-unnie! you guys made it!" shouted yujin from the inside of the dorm. at her shout, you drew back a little bit from jiwon to peek over her shoulder at her leader. you gave yujin a big smile that she returned with her own, her eyes disappearing into crescents.

your members let themselves into the ive dorm one by one, greeting jiwon's members with yunjin closing the door behind them. with how you've buried your face in jiwon's chest, still hugging the girl from the waist instead, you missed the looks that your members shot the girl. jiwon moved her arms up to your shoulders and finally grabbed ahold of herself and cleared her throat.

"um, let's go in, y/n-ie?"

she felt you nod against her chest.

"are you gonna let go...?"

you lifted your head to pout up at the girl. "do you want me to?" you asked. she immediately shook her head no with wide eyes.

"i--i don't! i was just asking, y/n-ie..." she pouted. you smiled up at her and gave her a peck on the cheek. "you're so cute, jiwonie..."

with your arms still around each other, you both made your way into the living room. unbeknownst to you both, conversations were brewing in the kitchen.

"100,000 won says they're getting together tonight," yunjin offhandedly mentions.

"absolutely not!" chaewon counters.

"yeah, that'd just be easy money," sakura shrugged. rei looked up from the dessert she was making to shoot sakura a smirk.

"wait, they're not together, yet?" kazuha asked. "i mean, they sure looked like they were."

"nope. have you seen jiwon? the poor girl could never make moves on y/n-ie. i mean, look!" rei directs everyone's attention towards the living room where y/n is sitting close to wonyoung while the latter was showing something on her phone. meanwhile, jiwon was sulking off to the side -- complete with a pout, crossed arms, and a giant ugly christmas sweater that makes her look so small you wouldn't think she was just as tall as yujin and wonyoung.

"i guess fearlessness carries over to shamelessness? try being more obvious, guys," gaeul sighs as she walks by the group in the kitchen, trying to get a bottle of water from the fridge. "yeah, guys, the dessert's not gonna make itself," yujin adds.

slowly, everyone starts piling out of the kitchen into the dining room. the girls all unconsciously assigned themselves roles of either setting the table or arranging the dishes. you didn't want to disturb the girls or mess with their flow, so you stood at the side by yourself as you watched the christmas feast slowly come to life with a smile on your face.

you felt someone's eyes boring into the side of your head, so you turned your head in the direction and found jiwon staring right at you. when you caught her, she immediately looked ahead at the spread in front of her, while a red was spreading across her face that she was hoping you wouldn't catch. chuckling at the girl's actions, you walked over to her and cuddled up to her side while wrapping your arms around her waist. you looked up at the girl and gave her an easy smile. when she hesitantly met your gaze, you could feel your heart race as she gave you a smile in return. you tightened your hold on her waist as you buried your face in her neck.

with how close you were holding her, you were hoping she wouldn't feel the way your heart jackhammered against your chest.

ah, what am i going to do with you, jiwonie?

with a clap, sakura called on everyone's attention. "ja, before we eat, i just wanted to say a few words." everyone listened intently at the eldest person in the room as she rambled on and on, thanking her own members as well as the ive members and congratulating them on a successful year.

while wiping away tears, yujin announced, "alright, let's dig in!"

the girls all took a seat around the table and dug in. conversation flowed effortlessly between them. half the time, though, you would just stay quiet and relish in the moment. with your it's not very often you and your members would get to have dinner with friends like normal people your age, so you wanted to savor every second of this.

as soon as the energy started going down, wonyoung went into the kitchen to grab something. you, leeseo, and eunchae were talking about the latest twice comeback when a round of cheers piqued your interest. you looked up and peeked over your shoulder to see what the ruckus was about when you saw wonyoung walking over carrying a few bottles of soju. soon enough, the energy came back up as the drinks started flowing -- maybe even more so than when you guys weren't tipsy.

throughout the night, you and jiwon had gotten pretty close, but only to hear each other over the rowdiness of everyone else (yunjin and drinks never made a good combo). in the middle of your conversation, though, a certain someone's shout caught both of your attention.

"look who got caught under the mistletoe!" yujin screamed. you excitedly looked up, trying to find the damned fruit around the ceiling, until you finally found it.

above you and jiwon.

the table immediately erupted in hollers, with the mistletoe acting like a spotlight on the both of you. "kiss! kiss! kiss!" the group chanted, lead by jiwon's own leader. you could feel the heat radiating off of jiwon. you knew the girl was shy -- she didn't like having all this kind of attention on her. you chuckled nervously as you turned to look at the girl who looked like she was about to cry, face as red as a tomato. thankfully, wonyoung and gaeul took notice and shifted the conversation towards something else.

however, the damage had already been done.

quietly, the girl got up from her seat. on instinct, you reached up for her, wanting to make sure she was okay. before you could even get a word out, jiwon was already shaking her head. "it's okay, y/n," she whispered before running off to what you assumed was her room.

all you could do was watch helplessly as she disappeared. you turned back towards the table, looking on as everyone just continued as if nothing had happened. as you assessed the scene, you noticed wonyoung staring straight at you. as soon as you made eyes with the girl, she gave you a nod as if to say, "go after her." with that, you excused yourself from the table and made your way towards the room you saw jiwon disappear into, vaguely hearing a slap, a groan, and a distant, "what the hell were you thinking?!" from wonyoung.

you stared at the white door ahead of you before hesitantly raising your fist up to knock. after three raps, you spoke up. "jiwon-ah? it's me, y/n. can i come in?"

after 5 seconds, nothing came from the other side. you knew jiwon -- she didn't like being pressured. you were about to turn around and leave, before you heard a small, "come in," from the other side of the door.

slowly, you turned the knob and pushed the door open and peeked your head in. "jiwonie? you good?" you asked in a small voice. you let yourself into the room more and noticed how small the girl looked sitting on the edge of her bed -- as if she wasn't at least 5 cm taller than you. you slowly approached the girl and took a seat beside her.

you waited for a minute, just sitting in silence with jiwon. while usually you would relish in the silence, your mind was racing a mile a minute, wondering how you were going to talk to her again.

until she made your life easier.

"i'm sorry about that earlier," jiwon said in a small voice. it broke your heart to see and hear the usually boisterous girl sound so...defeated. you quickly turned your attention toward her and were quick to reassure her.

"wait, why are you sorry?" you asked.

"i...my members must've made you feel uncomfortable. i'll talk to them about this tomorrow," the girl sighed, complete with a shake of her head.

"no no, i wasn't uncomfortable, i swear, jiwonie," you tried again, cupping her hands for comfort.

"you don't have to lie, i compl--"

the words died in her throat as she felt a pair of lips come in contact with her cheek. she immediately felt the heat rise up her neck to her face and her eyes went wide as she processed what the hell just happened.

she didn't have much time to do so, though, because she felt your hand snake up and cup her other cheek to get her to look at you. when your eyes met, your hand moved down to cup her neck instead while your eyes disappeared into crescents -- her favorite part about you.

but that might just change as soon as she felt your kiss on her forehead.

is it possible to get second-hand drunk? i didn't have a touch of alcohol, but maybe all that soju in the air got me drunk. yeah. that's probably it, because there's absolutely no way y/n is looking at me like i put the stars in the sky.

"i'm not mad at your members because i really wanted to do this, jiwon," you whispered. you felt her face heat up more under your palm. how can someone be this cute?

"really?"

"really, jiwonie."

"...is that all you wanted to do?" she whispered.

you chuckled at the girl. "if that's all you want me to do."

she leaned forward to nose at your nose like a cat. oh, jiwon, you're going to be the death of me. "what if i want you to do more?"

"then your wish is my command."

you took that as your sign to close the gap between you two and softly pressed your lips to hers. for a second, it seemed as though jiwon was frozen in place, but it seems like her brain had finally caught up to the present when she returned your kiss with a lot more passion. you couldn't help but smile into the kiss and tighten the hold you had on her waist -- it was like everything you've ever imagined.

you both finally pulled apart after a few seconds but still remained well within each other's proximity. she was about to lean in for another before you stopped her, your finger meeting her lips instead.

"uh-uh-uh, jiwonie," you chuckled. "not yet."

the girl only pouted in reply. she buried her head in your neck and rested her whole weight on you, prompting you both to lie down on the bed behind you both. your heart had never felt fuller.

"jiwon-ah."

she lifted herself off of you a little bit to get a look at you, attention on you like a cat to a laser pointer. you smiled at the girl before leaning up and giving her another peck. when you pulled away, she immediately chased after your lips for an even longer and a little more heated kiss. you kept your hands on her neck to both steady her and try to control the pace. when she pulled away for a bit, you took that as your cue. "we still need to talk, jiwonie," you said. it was as if she snapped out of her daze with how her eyes went wide and she immediately pushed herself off of you.

you could tell she was getting worried again, and you decided to stop her in her tracks. "ah-ah-ah, jiwonie. it's okay what you did back there, really. i just think we should talk first about...whatever this is," you reasoned out.

jiwon still looked very much apprehensive, but she nodded anyways.

"if you want, i can start first. i very much like you, kim jiwon, and i'd like it if you were mine only," you spoke with much conviction.

"i..." was the only thing the other girl could let out.

you, though, you just kept staring at her with an easy smile. you didn't want to pressure her into anything, and you hoped she understood that with the look you were giving her.

"i...i like you a lot too, y/n-ie. i really do. but..."

"ah-ah-ah! no buts, jiwon-ah. i know exactly what you're going to say, and I'm not having it. you're the most amazing person on the planet, and if you'll let me, i want to make you feel like you are," you tried to assure her.

all she could do was gape at you, so you did what you could do best -- you gave her one more peck.

"alright, are you ready to get back out there? we've still got gifts to open, you know?"

"only if you stay with me."

"there's no where else i'd rather be."

THE KANG-AHN FAMILY TREE

as of january 23, 2024

LEFT TO RIGHT Kang Misun, Kang Sumin, Ahn Jaesun, Ahn Jiho, Ahn Jaesuk, Kim Moonsun, Kang Wonhae, and Shin Yejin.

tw grooming, infidelity, power imbalance, illegal relationship, age gap, brief mention of miscarriage

In 1992, Kang Sumin was a freshly debuted idol when she met Ahn Jaesun. She was sixteen and he was twenty-three. He was one of YG’s music producers. In 1994, she was eighteen and pregnant with Ahn Jaesun’s first child. Shortly after, her pregnancy was announced and netizens were appalled that she was unwed and a teen mother.

This did not deter her. She wanted to continue her career as an idol, and she wouldn’t stop until she was able to. She went to far as to sending her newborn son, Ahn Jiho, to Texas with her parents. When YG dismissed her, putting her on an indefinite hiatus, she went back to Jaesun, leaving Jiho in Texas.

Sumin’s second son, Ahn Jaesuk, was born in 1997, and he, too, was sent to Texas.

Two years after Jaesuk’s birth in 1999, it was announced she’d be making a comeback. In a drunken high, she had an affair with one of her backup dancers.

One year later in 2000, she gave birth to her first daughter and final child, Kang Sunhye.

In 2009, it was widely accused across South Korea that Sumin’s daughter was the result of her affair and that her biological father being one of Sumin’s backup dancers. Anything she had left of a career was killed. Sumin and Jaesun battled in court over custody over their children, Jaesun even having Sunhye take a DNA test. The media was right, Sumin had an affair and it resulted in Sunhye. The court would rule in Sumin’s favor, saying a child should never be without their mother.

In 2011, Sumin and Jaesun divorced and their three children lived with Sumin, having visits to Jaesun ever so often until they all turned nineteen.

It is noted that Sumin and her children, especially her daughter, do not have the best relationship.

The rest of Sumin’s future is incomplete.

FACECLAIM Yunjin Kim

Ahn Jaesun married eighteen-year-old pregnant Kang Sumin when he was twenty-five. As he worked at YG as one of their music producers, he met sweet Kang Sumin when she debuted. While he was overjoyed at their children’s birth, he noticed she wasn’t. He wanted their children to live with them, but her word was final.

Jaesun filed for divorce in 2009 and fought for custody over all three of his children— DNA be damned. The cases took two years to come to a ruling. When the court ruled in Sumin’s favor in 2011, giving him only a few visits per year, he was devastated and dived headfirst into his work. This in turn slightly damaged his relationships with his children but constantly tries to make up for it ever since 2019.

He is one of YG’s best producers, his most prominent works being for 2NE1, Big Bang, and Epik High. When his sons individually turned nineteen, they lived with him until they got settled on their feet. Misun was an idol by the time she turned nineteen.

In October 2019, he met model and crowned Miss Korea 2015 Shin Yejin, who was twenty-seven at the time. A month later in November, they were dating. They have been dating ever since, and many question when he will propose to her.

It is noted that even though he is constantly trying to be a better father, his children and him have a strained relationship.

The rest of Jaesun’s future is incomplete.

FACECLAIM Choi Wonyoung

Ahn Jiho is an actor and got his popularity from Reply 1988 in 2015. As a child, it was very obvious to him that he was the odd man out in the family. He was the only one to not go into music, his name wasn’t close to either of his parents’ like Sunhye and Jaesuk’s were. He felt rather ignored in the family, and that’s what he was. His father loved him, but he loved work and Sumin more.

Jiho was closed off from his siblings, preferring to be in his room alone. If he had the choice of riding home in the car with his family or walking home in the rain, he’d choose walking in the rain. He had a warped impression of them, thinking they thought he was strange for not liking the same things they all did.

Jiho was always interested in film and literature, finding the universes people could create fascinating. He found that while he couldn’t write a story for anything, he was rather strangely good at lying. The thought unsettled him, but he was determined to be apart of people’s versions of their favorite character. He put the lying to use, being in theater in school and begging his grandparents to put him in acting classes.

When his mother’s affair was revealed, he was relieved but then distraught. His mother had made a mistake, she wasn’t one of them. But Misun wasn’t one of them, either— not completely, anyway. Yet she also was one of them. And he wasn’t.

His first major acting role was in Reply 1988 as Jang Minki. His popularity and fans quickly grew, earning him more offered roles. He has won Best New Actor and Best Supporting Actor for his role in Reply 1988.

He has since starred in notable shows like While You Were Sleeping, Squid Games, Sweet Home, and recently known for his role as the main male lead in My Demon. He is currently filming for the American horror movie, The Name Game.

It is noted that Jiho is not as close to Misun as Jaesuk is, but he’s also not close to Jaesuk. Jiho thinks of himself as the black sheep in the family and avoids them.

BIRTH NAME Ahn Jiho

FACECLAIM Yoon Dowoon

Ahn Jaesuk is a songwriter and has most likely taken part in writing the lyrics to your favorite song. He has notable achievements for both Korean and American music, such as multiple SHINee and The Weeknd and Harry Styles songs.

As the middle child, he’s always tried to maintain a balance with his siblings and parents and grandparents. He hated conflict, and always tried to avoid it. He tried protecting Misun as best as he could, until he could no longer bare Misun hurt at the hands of Sumin. He was rather relieved when Sumin’s affair was revealed and their parents were divorced, but never once thought differently of Misun.

Long before their divorce, he was twelve when he realized his parents weren’t the parents you see in movies. He was hurt, and angry, but soon that turned into emptiness. It was more of an expectation than anything. He felt nothing when they divorced.

Jaesuk started his career in 2018 with his father at YG Entertainment, his relationship to his father being a helping hand. He has since wrote songs for BLACKPINK, Big Bang, Winner, and TREASURE. He has also wrote songs for other groups such as SHINee, NCT, aespa, TXT, IVE, and more.

It is noted that Jaesuk and Misun are the closest within the family, as their other family are all estranged to one another.

FACECLAIM Yoo Taeyang

Kim Sunhee, better known as Moonsun, is a retired South Korean soprano opera actress. When she was twenty-one, she met Kang Wonhae and would later marry him in 1973. Three years later, after multiple attempts to have a child and having two miscarriages, she had her daughter, Sumin.

After having not slept for six days with various attempts to hurt herself or Sumin with Wonhae stopping her, she checked herself into a mental hospital where she was soon diagnosed with postpartum depression. She went on a three year hiatus with her career in order to get better and take care of her daughter. However, as she got back into her career, her relationship with her daughter worsened as she was always busy.

Sunhee is part of the reason Sumin was able to debut and have a comeback after her hiatus, as she knows ‘important people’. She was disappointed when she got pregnant the first time, swearing to cut her off but never did. She never understood why Sumin kept doing it to herself.

It feels like Sumin’s children are more of her own, especially considering she was the one who raised them. She has a strange, polite relationship with Jiho, a relationship where she knows she can trust Jaesuk, and Misun is the baby of the family. She’s much more coddled than the other two as she’s the youngest and only girl.

Besides a three year long hiatus, Sunhee is well known to older citizens for her voice and variety personality.

It is noted that Sunhee and Misun had a good relationship, but lately Misun’s backed away due to some realizations.

Kang Wonhae is a retired piano and music teacher. He met Kim Sunhee while teaching her youngest sister how to play the piano, and they would soon marry and have a daughter, Sumin.

Wonhae was disappointed Sumin had a child early, but he was the reason Sunhee never kicked her out or cut her off financially. He was the one who took care of his grandchildren first, he was the second person to hold Misun. He was polite with Ahn Jaesun, took him in like a son.

Wonhae always tried to involve Jiho, but he would always refuse. He’d always calm Sunhee down when she got too angry, but sometimes things were so damning, he’d lose his mind. Wonhae willingly took Jaesuk to his ball games, and was always there for each one. He encouraged Misun to audition for entertainment companies.

In 2002, he would retire early from his job as a teacher to focus taking care of his grandchildren. When they would move in with their mother after the divorce, he would soon pick up piano again and play the piano for their church.

It is noted that there is no dislike between Wonhae and Misun. She knows he is there for her.

DIE FOR YOU - chapter 13 : "school girl"

you heard a knock at your door, knowing that it was hyunjin, you opened it.

"hey cutie" he leaned his arm up to the door. "you're going in that?" he raised a brow.

"no silly, i'm not ready yet," you pulled him inside, "just wait for me on the couch while i change. it'll be like 5 minutes." so you went in your room and shut your door to get dressed.

a few minutes later you came out to see hyunjin sitting on the couch scrolling on his phone, you went to go stand in front of him and that caught his attention.

"so, what do you think?" you were wearing a knee length black dress with some jewlerey, nothing too flashy.

even though what you were wearing was simple, hyunjin was in awe. he's never seen you dressed like that, you were always wearing sweaters or baggy tees and sweat pants or jeans.

he stood up and looked down at you, "you're beautiful"

you chuckled to yourself, "thanks hyune, you don't look to bad yourself." you winked and patted his shoulder.

you guys made your way to the car and sat inside. once he started to drive you started to tune out of what he was talking about and started thinking about what would happen if he got too drunk and ended up kissing some girl. i mean sure, you guys aren't exclusive but surely he feels something too right? thats when you realized you never figured out wether he and wonyoung had a thing going on or not after that night at the party.

"hey hyunjin? i have a question" you decided to ask.

"whats up?" he turned his head to you, then back to the road.

"um, don't be weirded out or anything but, do you and wonyoung have like...something going on?"

"ha! she wishes. but no why do you ask?"

"oh no reason." you didn't want to make him suspicious or anything so you decided to just go along with what he said. "but hyunjin...please don't drink too much tonight, okay?"

he laughed, "awww cmon y/n thats my favorite thing to do," he pouted. "why though?"

because i don't know what i would do if i saw you kiss another girl in front of me, is what you wanted to say. but you decided against it.

"just cause...you know, it's hard to take care of a drunk person. especially you" you glared at him playfully.

the two of you laughed and continued talking until you got to the party, you got out of the car and walked to the door of wonyoungs house with him.

as soon as you two walk in you're both hit with bright lights, loud music, and the smell of expensive beer. she was not joking when she said it would be fun.

you guys walk to go meet your friends and also met felix and a few of his other friends along the way. talking and drinking with them, nothing much. that is until, wonyoung calls everybody to play a round of truth or dare.

"okay everybody! the rules are simple, someone asks you a truth or a dare and if you don't do it you drink." she explained to everyone.

everyone sat in a circle and started asking people questions, things were going smoothly until one of wonyoungs friends, rei, spun the bottle and landed it on hyunjin, who was sitting right next to you, and obviously very drunk.

"hyunjin, i dare you to kiss wonyoung." she said and then looked back at wonyoung, who was smirking at you.

all of his friends and everybody else were cheering for him to do it. you didn't know what to do, he was drunk and you couldn't stop him in front of everyone. yunjin was picking up on your discomfort and decided to speak up.

"oh c'mon guys he's literally drunk!" she yelled at everyone.

"yunjin stop being a sore loser and shut up." rei smirked at her.

yunjin was about to retort but before anything else could happen, hyunjin crawled over to wonyoung and kissed her. and she kissed back too, it wasn't just a little peck either, it lasted for about 20 seconds before felix remembered you were there and pulled hyunjin away from her. he crawled back over to his spot next to you with a dazed smile on his face.

yourself on the other hand was in disbelief. surely he knows how you feel about wonyoung, though you didnt make it THAT clear, was the question about her not enough? and didn't you tell him not to drink too much? but then again he was right next to you and you could've reminded him to stop anytime. so maybe, you blamed yourself a little for it.

but how could he forget about the kiss? maybe all you did was peck his lips for 2 seconds but you were sure he never got his mind off of that. you let your mind spiral and you looked in your lap dejectedly.

while you were thinking about the whole situation you had forgotten about the game. wonyoung spun the bottle and it landed on you.

"y/n, truth or dare?" she smirked at you, and all of a sudden you felt like an elementary school girl playing truth or dare again. you knew how this would go, if you picked truth wonyoung would ask about your crush, and if you picked dare she would dare you to confess to your crush. not only was she easy to read but also childish as hell.

"truth"

"hm. whos your crush? does his name maybe start with an H?" she crossed her arms and everyone started to make an 'ooohh' sound. you looked back at her with a glare.

"really wonyoung? we're in university and you're asking who my crush is? what are we, 12?" you raised a brow.

"or maybe you just don't want to say it in front of everyone and embarrass yourself because you know you dont have a chance. so, answer it or drink." she crossed her arms and laughed.

that hit you hard. maybe you really don't have a chance, i mean looked at you and look at wonyoung. hell even hyunjin kissed her for longer. but you couldn't let her see you like this.

"for fucks sake piss off wonyoung!" you scoffed and got up to leave.

"someoneesss madddd!!" her friends screamed out at you as you left the house.

you walked a few blocks down until you found a bench and then realized that now you were truly stuck. you had no way home, you couldn't walk either because it way too far and too dark, and your phone died during the party so you couldn't text your friends. fuck.

https://www.tumblr.com/lullabyalikpoptarot/771480752411017216/could-you-please-do-a-lgbtq-reading-for-skz-too?source=share

would you do this reading for IVE? One of its members, Yujin, has gone viral for singing a lgbt themed song so I'm curious abt how they view this topic and whether they're part of it or not (my intuition said most of them straight tho) Please and thank you!

Disclaimer: No facts, all alleged! Just a reminder, that I am reading the energy. Do not take this reading as fact. This does not always reflect reality. This energy can always shift as well. This does not mean they will choose this preference in real life, but I think it is fun to look at what they are energetically aligned with. I have done this on myself and some friends/family and found it fun. If you take this seriously and are triggered, that is on you, can’t help if people can’t have fun in life, reminder it isn’t that deep. At the end of the day these idols will not be affected by this reading. They have other things to worry about. Tarot does not have to always be serious. I enjoy these readings and will continue to do what I want on my blog. Okay, that's out of the way. Let’s see what I get here.

Yunjin (The Moon/The Star/Judgment) She prefers to keep that hidden, she could be, but keep it hidden, due to judgment and losing her star power. I can see that, but not really showing any preference here.

Gaeul (Page of Cups/King of Cups/Ace of Cups) I see a preference for men. The Page for me could be female energy, but in this deck that I am using, a dude is on the card and that can be her energy too. I see the KOC’s in the middle followed by the ace of cups gives me a preference for men and she wants to find love with a loving compassionate older male.  

Rei (The World/8 of Cups/8 of Pentacles) Ace vibes here, she is about herself and not that invested in love and relationships right now.

Wonyoung (4 of Cups/4 of Pentacles/Knight of Pentacles) Asexual vibes, but prefers men, probably goal oriented men, don’t see her being that romantic at all and not wanting those types either. 

Liz (4 of Wands/Ace of Wands/9 of Pentacles/Knight of Pentacles) This girl got strong sexual energy, but she is an independent person as well and prefers the single life right now, but does prefer men as well.

Lesseo (9 of Pentacles/9 of Wands/The World) I get a sense she doesn’t want to share, so uncertain for her.

★ Chapter Seven: Fireworks

The sports festival was one of those school events that always managed to bring out the best—and worst—in people. The field was packed with students, teachers, and even some parents, all buzzing with excitement. The sun was high in the sky, and the air smelled of freshly cut grass and sweat.

Minji, of course, was in her element. Being both tall and athletic, she thrived in these kinds of events. I, on the other hand, was perfectly content hanging out on the sidelines, pretending to be involved while staying far from anything too physically demanding.

I sat under one of the tents, watching the chaos unfold. Students were running back and forth, shouting instructions, laughing, and psyching each other up for the upcoming races. In the middle of it all, I spotted Minji, standing tall and confident, surrounded by her friends—Hanni, Yunjin, Ryujin, and, of course, Karina.

I could see it from here—the way Minji’s eyes followed Karina, subtle but impossible to miss if you knew what to look for. Minji was trying her best to be casual, but there was a certain softness in her gaze, a quiet attentiveness that she didn’t show anyone else. Karina, for her part, seemed oblivious, focused on stretching and chatting with the others.

"Your sister’s in deep, huh?" a voice said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I glanced to my left and found Wonyoung standing beside me, her usual easy smile on her face. She was dressed in her sports uniform, her hair pulled back in a neat ponytail. Even in a crowd of students, she stood out, her height and presence impossible to ignore.

"Yeah," I replied, following her gaze back to Minji. "She’s not exactly subtle."

Wonyoung chuckled and plopped down next to me, the sun catching her eyes in just the right way to make them sparkle. I tried not to stare.

"You think Karina knows?" she asked, glancing at me.

I shrugged. "If she doesn’t, she’s either blind or in serious denial."

"Minji’s got it bad."

"Tell me about it."

There was a beat of silence, comfortable but charged. Wonyoung leaned back on her hands, her eyes scanning the field. I could feel the warmth radiating off her, even though we weren’t touching. It was moments like this, when it was just the two of us, that I wished I could freeze time.

Before I could get too lost in my thoughts, the whistle blew, signaling the start of one of the races. I looked up just in time to see Minji and Karina lining up for the relay, both of them looking focused and determined. It wasn’t their first race of the day, but this one seemed to matter more.

"Think your sister’s gonna win this one?" Wonyoung asked, squinting at the starting line.

"I mean, she’s practically a machine," I said. "But she’s got competition."

We watched as the race began, Minji and Karina sprinting down the track, their legs moving in perfect rhythm. For a second, it looked like they were neck and neck, but then Minji surged ahead, her long strides eating up the distance between her and the finish line.

As expected, Minji won the race, her teammates cheering as she crossed the line first. Karina wasn’t far behind, coming in a close second, but there was no bitterness between them. In fact, as soon as they caught their breath, Minji gave Karina a playful nudge, and Karina laughed, the sound light and carefree. They looked at ease with each other, the tension between them almost invisible to anyone who didn’t know better.

"She’s really into her, huh?" Wonyoung said, her tone more thoughtful now.

"Yeah," I replied quietly, my eyes still on Minji and Karina. "She’s been like this for a while."

Wonyoung turned to look at me, her expression soft. "Must be tough, watching her go through that. I mean… caring about someone who might not feel the same way."

Her words hit harder than she probably intended, but I forced a smile. "Yeah. It’s not easy."

I wasn’t sure if she knew what I was really talking about. But either way, the moment passed, and the festival continued.

The afternoon was a blur of races, games, and cheering. I mostly stuck by Wonyoung’s side, watching from a distance as Minji and Karina interacted, their easy banter laced with something deeper. It was hard to ignore the way Minji looked at her, like Karina was the only person in the world. And maybe, for Minji, she was.

As the day wore on and the sun began to set, the festival started to wind down. Most of the students were tired, sweaty, and ready to head home, but there was one last event that everyone had been waiting for: the fireworks.

I found myself standing by the bleachers with Wonyoung, the two of us watching as the first few bursts of color lit up the darkening sky. The crowd had gathered around, but somehow, it felt like we were in our own little bubble, just the two of us.

"This is my favorite part," Wonyoung said softly, her eyes fixed on the fireworks above.

"Yeah?" I asked, glancing at her.

She nodded, her face illuminated by the flashes of light. "There’s something magical about it, you know? Like, for a few minutes, everything else fades away, and it’s just… beautiful."

I didn’t respond right away. I was too focused on the way her expression softened as she watched the sky, the way the colors danced across her face. She was right. It was beautiful. But it wasn’t the fireworks that had me captivated.

We stood there in silence for a while, just watching the sky. The air was cool now, a breeze rustling through the trees, and for the first time all day, I felt completely calm.

I stole a glance at Wonyoung. She looked so serene, so content. I wanted to tell her how I felt, to just say something—anything—but the words wouldn’t come.

Instead, I took a deep breath and asked, "How’s everything with Yujin?"

The question felt like a punch to the gut, but I needed to hear the answer.

Wonyoung turned to look at me, her eyes soft. "We’re good. She’s… she’s really sweet, you know? She gets me in ways that not a lot of people do."

I forced a smile, even though my chest ached. "That’s great. I’m happy for you."

Wonyoung smiled back, but there was something else in her expression—something I couldn’t quite place. "Thanks, Y/N. That means a lot."

Another firework exploded above us, lighting up the sky in bright blues and greens. For a moment, neither of us spoke. It was like we were both waiting for something, though I wasn’t sure what.

Then, Wonyoung stepped a little closer, her shoulder brushing against mine. "I’m glad we’re friends," she said quietly.

"Yeah," I replied, my throat tight. "Me too."

We stood there, side by side, watching the fireworks light up the night. And even though everything inside me screamed to say more, to do something, I stayed quiet.

Because sometimes, that’s all you can do.

౨ৎ oceans away !

chapter seven : OH ... !

pairing : hueningkai x non idol! reader  summary : kai was never the type to go out of his way to befriend his little sisters friends, yet somehow he was convinced. and instead of simply befriending her, he fell for her. word count : 0.6k

prev / next / masterlist

despite what some people believed, jang wonyoung was a really nice girl.

and she was talented in just about everything an idol needed to be talented in. she had the voice of a literal angel, looks hand crafted by aphrodite herself, and a presence like no other. she also enjoyed playing the role of 'cupid', always assisting the 'industries match maker'.

it was hard not to be jealous of jang wonyoung.

especially when the boy of your dreams was continuously shipped with her.

despite being the same age as his younger sister, huening kai and jang wonyoung miraculously found themselves in a dating rumour.

wonyoung was famous after all, and most people weren't even aware of your existence.

you were just a girl.

shin yuna's childhood best friend. one of the 'only people to show her real kindness' (her own words) despite the fact that everyone loved her.

you were one of the first people she confided in when he found out about debuting in itzy. you met chaeryeong, ryujin, lia, and yeji before yuna's parents were able to.

you were there for yuna in a way not many others could be.

so of course she made a bigger friend group for the two of you - sometimes when there's a large quantity with good quality, it works out.

and so of course you met huening kai, and fell for him

wonyoung barely knew him.

yet you still found yourself jealous as you stared down the brunette across the room from you.

you cared far too much. but seeing the way she moved, so gracefully like water, all you could feel was the pit in your stomach growing larger.

of course kai had to sit next to her.

while you were stuck hiding what felt like miles away.

it wasn't either of their faults - kai had arrived late, and taehyun had taken the seat next to you (seeing as yunjin was sitting right next to it), leaving only the seat next to wonyoung for him.

people were just people, and they were going to say whatever they felt about the situation, but for some irrational reason it felt as if wonyoung was out to get you.

you hated yourself for hating her.

she had no control over the situation.

it wasn't her fault.

she was just doing her job.

she's famous after all, and so is kai.

at the end of the day, jang wonyoung was just a girl, and as she smiled softly across the isle at you, you realised that.

she had a sad look in her eyes, mouthing 'i'm sorry'.

as if she had ever done anything to hurt you.

and somehow, the act of her apologising for hurting you even though you truly had no reason to be hurt only fuelled your hatred.

you loathed how aware she was, able to read a person as if they were a children's book.

was she truly that aware of her surroundings? able to see straight through you as if made of glass. she was like a blood hound, able to sniff out your crush on kai from miles away.

and it just wasn't fair.

as you stared at the two, you heard taehyun speak up, laughing slightly to himself as he spoke. "so, dating rumour with our sweet hyuka - he's finally getting some!" he teased, eyeing wonyoung and kai as if they were hiding a secret relationship.

"oh..." kai sighed, taking a moment to look over at you.

he wasn't wonyoung, he couldn't read your expression.

"oh!" wonyoung gasped at nearly the same time. "it's not like that taehyun! i was hanging out with hikaru and at the same time kai was visiting bahiyyih! we just happened to leave at the same time." she smiled, a sickly sweet smile. one so addicting that no one even could think to argue with her, too caught up in the way her eyes glistened as she spoke.

you were nothing like jang wonyoung, and that much was clear.

authors note : if you can't tell , this does pull some slight inspiration from olivia rodrigo's new song 'lacy' off of her album 'guts' ( which you should totally listen to if you havent yet ) cuz tbh i get most of my inspo from music

Hyewon (Actress/IZ*ONE)

Against my IZ*ONE-Heart, I'm going to be really strict and will not mix idols who once were in a group (no 2Kim, no HyeYul, no YuTing, no [Redacted*])

1st Threesome: Minju/Sullyoon

People say they look very similar. I don't completely see it, but nontheless, they both look gorgeous and pure and would be a delight in bed. Be it ruining them or soft cuddles, I'll take it. And because it has Minju, it's my first choice.

2nd Threesome: Ahn Yujin/Dayeon

Brats. Two brats. Two brats that will have you exhausted after you fucked them till they lose their mind. (Un?)fortunately, the other has recovered in the meantime and eon't stop being a bitch. The cycle continues, the story writes itself.

3rd Threesome: Rei/Mashiro

Japanese cuties with gorgeous faces and thick thighs to smother me with... yeah, I'll take it. I'll thrust in between them or get choked while they face sit. Esp Shiro is so underrated, maybe tge best thighs in the game.

4th Threesome: Isa/Chaehyun

Similar as the one before, but for them I also really like the lewd expressions and smiles they can pull off. There is innocense in those faces... but it's all fake. Imm a fill their cheeks with my load asap.

5th Threesome: Gaeul/Chaewon

No real connection here, both rather small and petit but ngl I just wanted Gaeul and Chaewon in this selection. Bias list has a big say in this. Either way, it would be a brilliant time, both wrapped around my cock, whimpering...

Ty, more of this pls <3

[talksthattalk]

heya - ive

said to be ive's barbie compared to seventeen's oppenheimer (since they were set to release on the same date) and there was plenty of high expectation. ive have had a raging fiery streak that has yet to dim since debut, with each song remaining timeless and quintessentially kpop with every comeback

heya kind of lowers that expectation ever so slightly as the chorus begins to sound too repetitive after a while and a bit uninspired. but hey i'm not picky because we got some gorgeous vocals from liz and wonyoung plus some killer verses from leeseo and rei. yunjin always stands out as a performer and i just can't remember any memorable gaeul parts but that falls more on starship for never giving her many killing parts

the bridge is heavenly to listen to (once again thank you liz!) and the mv is stunning i will give them that. i saw some news apparently about how there was a bit of a inappropriate claiming of cultural designs (chinese vs korean? i'm not from either country so i won't weigh in) but the styling is gorgeous

rating: 8.5/10

[peachypeachyclub]

✧ My Little!Wonyoung Canon ✧

• Her little age is 0-4.

• She has a white cat plushie named Marie after Marie from the Aristocats, who also has a pink ribbon bow collar.

• When in babyspace she is shy and quiet and can go a long time without her caregiver.

• When in toddlerspace she gets quite hyperactive, runs around and babbles away at her plushies, needs attention 24/7 or she will "die" (throw a wet and teary tantrum until she is picked up).

• She is also pretty light, considering her height, and easy to carry.

• She is a sensitive little and has happy stims, she will shake her legs aggressively in babyspace and make high pitched noises of content.

• She has two main caregivers, Mommy Eunbi and Momma Yunjin.

• Her caregivers are both more on the stricter side but she is a good girl and always listens to her mommies.

• She can be quite bossy and bratty, especially on rougher days, but corporal punishments are a no no, the only punishment allowed is time out, either in a room without any stuff to preoccupy her or in the corner.

• She is a total crybaby, tears and snot, the full combo. And also a total sweetheart with nothing but heart eyes directed to her caregivers.

• Fav fruits are strawberries and kiwis.

• She is very picky with her food and doesn't like vegetables, unlike big Wonyoung.

• Has a drawer full of different pacifiers and toys because she can.

• Her fav nicknames are bunbun and pretty girl, these will get her blushing instantly.

• Most of her plushies are either bunnies, cats or sanrio characters.

The Great Produce 48 Rewatch: Ep 4, Very Very Very (IOI) Challenge

Welcome back to the thing I’m doing for some reason: The Great Produce48 Rewatch Recap-ma-jig! When we left off, we saw the penultimate teams perform Twice’s Like Ooh Ah. In this post, we’ll focus on the two performances of Very Very Very, featuring many future members of Iz*one, IVE,  Purplekiss, and Le Sserafim. Let’s do it!

Lee Seungki announces the next song as being “meaningful” -- and it is. Very Very Very was the song that made I.O.I. into what they were, and paved the way for IZ*one. He calls the two teams up on stage as the Avengers theme plays, I assume in the theater itself. Jeremy is like, “Wow, Sakura is in one of those teams.” Hey, Jeremy? Sakura is ranked 5th, which is respectable, but Yujin is ranked SECOND and Kwon Eunbi is ranked THIRD and I don’t see you mention either of them. And when Gaeun went up for Peekaboo, you didn’t mention her at all, even though she’s ranked FIRST. I know, I know, the filming was a little ahead of the voting, so they didn’t know what people would be ranked, and Sakura was the center, but she was the center, not like, actually Iron Man. 

It’s so weird the way these shows pick a person to be the whole show. I got it when it was Sung Hanbin from Boys Planet, as he is not just perfect looking but also an excellent dancer and a great singer and someone whose tears crystalize into diamonds that could refract light itself into champagne. But Sakura, despite being a sweet, cute, hardworking girl, isn't unusually talented or charming as far as I can tell. 

Anyway! To get us back up to speed, here are two teams. 

Yujin’s team, which was formed second overall introduces themselves as “Mixed Fruits”.

Left to right:

Honda Hitomi, 16, the super cutey who worked her way up from C to A and is currently ranked 47th.

An Yujin, 14, future member of  IVE who rose from B to A and is currently ranked 2nd overall. Wow! And she’s 14, you guys. I always forget how young she is here. 

Jang Wonyoung, future Wonyoung, known for being Wonyoung but currently with her original face, who has stayed in B and is ranked 4th.

Choi Yena, 18, friendly Yena from Yuehua who kept us company for a lot of episode 1, fell from A to B, and is currently ranked 6th. 

Shiroma Miru, 20, future visitor to Queendom Puzzle, who fell from B to D but is ranked 22nd. 

Na Goeun, 18, future Purplekiss, A class girl, and ranked 20th. 

Sakura’s team, which was formed first overall, introduces themselves a “Very Raspberry” (in English). It’s weird how many pairs of teams ended up with thematically similar names. 

Left to right:

Kwon Eunbi, 22, the future soloist, fell from A to C, is currently ranked 3rd

Motomura Aoi,  21, sweet faced Aoi from Never Ending Ferris Wheel, who rose from D to B and is ranked 42nd. 

Kim Minju, 17, a Very Pretty Girl, rose from D to C, ranked 17 

Kim Choyeon, 16, fire-eyes girl and future Bugaboo, fell from A to C, ranked 75 

Miyawaki Sakura, 20, THE SAKURA, future member of Le Sserafim who stayed in A and is ranked 5th. 

Lee Chaeyeon, 18, future soloist, who stayed in A and is ranked 10th.

Clearly, both teams are pretty stacked. But Yunjin’s team is just maybe that little bit more stacked, despite being formed second. I actually don’t remember who wins, but my 2024 knowledge implies it might have something to do with Wonyoung. 

Red Team’s Miru says, in Japanese, that their cute members will blend to make the sweetest juice, so bring it on! Blue team’s Sakura says that their team is the closest and that will make their performance best, and throws in a “fighting!” at the end. 

We jump back to Red team’s dance practice with Dance Bae, but this will be more about Blue team. Give it a moment.

Original face Wonyoung’s cute wiggling and winking earns a smile from Dance Bae, and it looks like everyone is doing a good and cute job. Dance Bae mentions the center, then after a pause says that they chose the right girl for it. 

We see Kim Choyeon, who is the center of the other team, reacting with concern to how good Wonyoung is. Poor Choyeon. Imagine having to go up against Wonyoung? In ANYTHING? It just wouldn’t go well. And the fact that Choyeon doesn’t quite meet Korean beauty standards -- despite being, in my opinion, a striking looking girl -- doesn’t help. 

Choyeon interviews, “Wonyoung’s facial expressions are all so natural. She’s so pretty and she does a good job standing at the center. I’m a bit anxious.”

It’s group 2’s turn, and Dance Bae tells them that she’s happy to see all of them since this is a team with a lot of skilled members. She expresses a bit of surprise that Choyeon is the center.

Center: Choyeon  Left of Choyeon: Aoi Right of Choyeon: Lee Chaeyon Behind Choyeon: Kim Minju Kneeling, left to right: Eunbi, Sakura

The editors present us with a weird-face-off between Choyeon and Dance Bae. (I mean a weird-face off, not a weird face-off, if you feel me.) 

When they’re done, Dance Bae says, “Choyeon, I’m sorry, but you were overacting. You made me feel so uncomfortable, I had to look at someone else.” Choyeon nods. I think she kinda knew. 

The editors keep doing that “swallowing” noise thing and I hate it nomu nomu nomu nomu much. 

Bae goes on, and she really, really lets them have it. She says, “What’s ironic is, you guys dance better than the other group. You have more famous members, too. But I sense that there’s a different vibe. You guys aren’t so fresh compared to Group One. I think it could be a problem of the center member. For the team, I think it’s better to select a new center member. Girls, you have to be careful choosing a center member. Why don’t you all think rationally? Don’t be swayed by what other people think.”

Afterwards, there is a lot of crying. Motherly Eunbi holds Choyeon while she sobs. Everyone else hovers nearby, patting her vaguely. 

Cut to dress rehearsal and we see that now, Sakura is in the center. Ahn Yujin voice overs that it makes sense to her that Sakura would be in the center, and really, it makes sense to all of us.

Soyou asks about it, and almost sounds angry, but that might just be her shouting to be heard from the distance. Kwon Eunbi explains that they decided to change to Sakura recently. 

Side note: Doesn’t Choyeon look pretty with her hair like this? 

Her face is one of those interesting faces that can go either way, and I think that’s cool. A lot of runway models are like that. She just needs, I don’t know, the right hair and the right styling and the right attitude to be like yeah, my eyes are lasers, get into it!

Cut back to the group meeting -- one of those Criss-cross-Applesauce-Crescent-Moons of Doom. It’s a CACMOD, if you will. 

Eunbi asks the group who should be the center, and Aoi sweetly says, “Choyeon,” which makes Choyeon smile for a second before immediately starting to cry. Even in her interview she is overcome with sobs. She tries to smile, though. She wants to do what’s best for the group.

The group smartly decides to record themselves six times, each time with a different person in the center, and then watch the recordings. Afterward, Lee Chaeyon says she thinks that Sakura should be the center. And at that moment, a thousand ‘ships were launched! Everyone nods, and Choyeon herself speaks up to agree that yes, Sakura should be the center. Pretty Eunbi agrees, and the decision is made.

They applaud, but Sakura is full of mixed emotions about taking over her friend’s part. 

She also has to learn the rap. We see that she has the rap written in katakana, the Japanese writing system designed for foreign words. 

She’s learning it phonetically, basically, and it’s not going to be easy, but she sits with the others and practices the pronunciation and dance as hard as she can. 

We cut back to dress rehearsal and Sakura is making a lot of mistakes with the words. When they’re done, Cheetah lets her have it, which I just think is mean.

 “That wasn’t good. I can’t hear anything. I can’t make out what you’re saying. Why did you have to change positions and make the rap part horrible?” 

Like, she doesn’t speak Korean, lady. It’s obvious she’s having trouble. I’d just say, “Well, it’s obvious you need a lot more work on the words. What is your plan to learn the lyrics by performance day?” And then, AND THEN, Soyou of all fucking people says, “Because of Sakura, everything was ruined. Her pronunciation was bad, and her dance was offbeat.” She goes on and on and on, and Sakura begins literally flinching as the words hit her in the face. 

Ugh. I think a lot of this is production interference. They know that they want to show a lot of both of these teams, so they need as much drama as they can get, and they want a lot of it to center on Sakura so they can put Sakura’s face in the middle of people’s TV screens. 

It must be so hard for Sakura. She seems to genuinely want to learn, and then she gets alternately praised and lambasted for roughly equivalently good performances. Audition offkey and with extremely simple choreo? Into A class! Not learn a 20 second rap in a foreign language in 2 days? MAKE HER FEEL LIKE SCUM YOU FOUND ON YOUR SHOE. 

Thanks, judges. Thudges. 

Kindly Jeremy asks, in Japanese, do you think you can do ok tomorrow? She answers, “I think Choyeon should be in the center.” 

Commercial break! In the Spanish video you can see this inexplicable advertisement featuring AI idols dancing to Nekoya. (23:30 or so)

In an interview, she cries as she says that she feels bad that Choyeon missed out on her chance to be center, but I’d argue that this isn’t entirely Sakura’s fault. Choyeon couldn’t figure out how to smile naturally, Sakura. I mean, harsh, but like… true.  

Now, in this interview, she’s wearing her actual performance outfit, not the outfit she was wearing in dress rehearsal, which had a blue collar. I can’t help but wonder if this interview, in which she says that Choyeon would have had more time to rehearse as center if it weren’t for her -- I wonder if this interview was recorded AFTER their performance. Because it would make sense if it were. It would put a different cast on it when she says that she thinks everything is her fault. 

Side note: I wonder why Eunbi was never really floated as a center for the performance? She looks a little like Irene from Red Velvet, in my opinion, and she can sing and dance. She would have been a great center. Maybe it’s because she’s not quite as twig-thin as the other girls….? IDK. 

Anyway, they decide to switch back to Choyeon, and Sakura voice overs that she feels much better about it. Eunbi voice overs that the team has gotten really close and they work well together. Minju voiceovers that she wants to make the performance perfect, and I’m like, “oh, is that what your voice sounds like, Minju? I had forgotten.”

And then it’s time for the performance. 

Here’s PD48 Editing’s blessed edit.

Standing: Aoi, Sakura, Lee Chaeyon Kneeling: Minju, Choyeon, Eunbi

My thoughts: 

Overall, they did great. Some of the vocals weren’t perfect, and not every facial expression exactly worked, but overall, great. 

Choyeon must have practiced a lot in the mirror because she was definitely much better than she’d been in that first rehearsal, expression wise. It still was a little awkward, alas. She is a great dancer and a decent singer (though I don’t love her vocal color), but she just isn’t a gifted smiler. It’s a bummer for her because I know she really wants this. 

Eunbi was flawless. No notes. She should have been the center. I don’t get it.

Lee Chaeyon was main vocal, ya’ll. Let that sink in -- the girl known for her excellent dancing was the main vocal on the team. Facial expressions, mini dance break, ad libs, all on point. Who is she, Kang Seulgi over here? I think she should have worn her hair down or curled or something maybe, and had a brighter closer to her face, but that’s the stylist unnie screwing her over. She’s just a queen when it comes to performance. 

Aoi was frickin’ adorable, of course. 

Smiles, pouts, finger wiggles… she gives Nako a run for her money. Dancing looked fine, and her one or two lines of vocals were fine. And the little part at the end when she blows the glitter at everyone -- seamless. She’s good at this, ya’ll. And it seems, for the record, that the audience appreciates her too, even if MNET gives her zero time or attention.

Minju just looked kind of scared a lot of the time. 

Use your finger to cover up her mouth in this picture and just look at her eyes and I think you’ll see what I mean. Her rapping vocal color is kind of offputting, too. She was on beat and I think she did it correctly but it didn’t work for me. Someone had to rap I guess. But she did the thing and was pretty, and that’s what she was there for. 

Sakura was super cute and had great facial expressions. She vocals were on key, though her vocal color remains unpleasant to me. Still, she did her Sakura thing and it was fine. I just don’t quite get why she’s the one that everyone is obsessed with compared to some of the others on the team. Nothing against her. I mean, it’s not just the MNET edit that makes her seem important -- when she sings her first few notes, you can hear a reaction in the live audience.

The MNET edit is about what you’d expect. There’s a cute moment when Jeremy says, “Chaeyeon is stable at everything,” which, yes, she is. The judges also praise Minju, which is their prerogative. I guess. No kind words for Eunbi or Aoi though, because MNET hates them I guess. 

Afterward, it’s all smiles and applause from everyone, and we see some signs in the audience for Choyeon, so that’s great! The judges are relieved that they changed the center back.

We cut almost immediately to Team 1, and all the way back to day 1, when they’re distributing parts. 

So you don’t have to scroll up, this team is made up of (left to right around the circle)

An Yujin, 14, future member of�� IVE who rose from B to A and is currently ranked 2nd overall. 

Honda Hitomi, 16, the super cutey who worked her way up from C to A and is currently ranked 47th.

Shiroma Miru, 20, future visitor to Queendom Puzzle, who fell from B to D but is ranked 22nd. 

Na Goeun, 18, future Purplekiss, A class girl, and ranked 20th. 

Choi Yena, 18, friendly Yena from Yuehua who kept us company for a lot of episode 1, fell from A to B, and is currently ranked 6th. 

Jang Wonyoung, 14, future Wonyoung, known for being Wonyoung but currently with her original face, who has stayed in B and is ranked 4th.

They are having trouble figuring out who could do the rap, and Na Goeun wonders aloud if the rap should be done in Japanese (at least according to the on-screen captions in Korean). Maybe if a Japanese member did the rap, she’d be allowed to do it in Japanese…..? Not sure. Regardless, the Japanese members don’t want to do the rap. 

An Yujin volunteers to try, and then she does a pretty perfect job on her first try. Wonyoung teases her, “I thought she went to the back to practice first.” She ends up with the part, and is laughing about it in her interview before she adds, with mock seriousness, “I’m good at everything.”

It’s obviously a joke, and I really, really, really hope she didn’t get shit for that. But people are the way they are I guess. Also, she’s not wrong. 

We join them at an early vocal/rap rehearsal, with long-hair Cheetah. Yujin gets a little in her head for the rap and messes it up a bit, but Cheetah cuts her slack for trying to do it without looking at the lyrics. 

We go to dance rehearsal, where Dance Bae praises their performance and says they suit the song. They’re all happy to hear the praise. 

It looks like their rehearsal is fairly relaxed and they have time to joke around. 

A few of the girls interview that they think they can win. 

And it’s time for the performance! 

PD48 Editing’s blessed edit 

My thoughts:

Well, obviously this was basically perfect. 

From Wonyoung’s very first wiggle and “Sorichira!” (scream!), it was clear that this girl was born to be a Kpop girl group center. What would she have done in cave man days? Unclear. But in 2018 and 2024, she can wink at us and wiggle around cutely and voila! A star is born. Do I love her vocal color? Not really. Is she that great at dancing? The editing makes it impossible to tell. But she’s Wonyoung, and is somehow super engrossing. 

Na Goeun held down the fort as sub vocal 1. A lot of the time sub-1 sings more lines than the main vocal does and kind of sets the tone for the song. Think Nayeon as opposed to Jihyo in Twice, for example. Goeun kept the overall vocals good, and also pulls off all the aegyo with aplomb. 

I’m kind of surprised that Yena ended up the main vocal, with Goeun on the team, but she does a great job. I do think that her makeup doesn’t do her any favors, and I think this hair style is wrong for the shape of her face. She’s normally a super pretty girl, and I blame the stylist unnies for that. Perhaps because she was styled wrong, or maybe for some other reason, her facial expressions don’t quite work as well as those of her teammates, which is weird because she’s naturally super cute in normal life. She doesn’t do a bad job or anything, don't get me wrong, and her vocals are sweet and on key, but there was just something a little off about this.

But I live for this ending fairy. 

Yujin is wasted in this concept, but she can do anything she sets her mind to, and she does this, too. I don’t think the pigtails suit her though. 

Miru and Hitomi both fade into the back a little, with small parts, but they’re both cute in a super natural and straightforward way, and as far as I could tell, did the choreo well. Miru in particular has never had my favorite vocal color but they were both on key and seemed happy to be there. They both contributed in their way by bringing energy and cuteness, which is what this performance called for.

I actually don’t have any serious criticism for any of them. I’d like to have a word with stylist unnie, but that’s the main thing.

The MNET edit is in love with them. I mean, they were even left for last, even though they obviously performed before the other team. We see the audience and the other girls cheering for them. When they’re done, the judges sigh and say it’s really close because both teams did so well. 

Then Dance Bae says something really foolish: “One of these groups will not receive extra votes and not make it through.” As if those 1000 votes MATTER when you’re Sakura or Wonyoung? Come on. These benefit votes only ever matter for the people on the bubble -- people within say two spots of the cut off point, plus or minus.

The girls head to the results restroom to learn whether they will literally live or literally die!

Naturally, super cute Yena beats the not preferred Lee Chaeyeon. That’s how people do.

Surprisingly, Na Goeun beats Kwon Eunbi, which just is a factor of there being so many awesome girls on both teams and people only getting one vote. Maybe Eunbi looked a little too old for the concept…? She looks like a woman in a group of girls. Not that Goeun did badly at all. In fact, I’d have wanted both of them to get more votes, but that’s how life is. Poor Eunbi is like, “I failed,” and no. No, you were great, girl. 

Miru is up against Sakura, and they both do amazing. I don’t know why you’re looking unhappy, Miru-chan! You got 112 votes! That’s a lot higher than the average, which, by the way, is 69. (Wooooooooooooo!) 

Hitomi wins over Aoi and Yoojin wins over Minju. So far, except for Sakura beating Miru, red has beaten blue in every match up. 

At that moment, before they can reveal the results of the center battle -- Kim Choyeon versus Jang Wonyoung -- Choyeon over on blue team says, “Congratulations.” Red’s Yujin shakes her head to disagree, but Choyeon says, “Group one won. I’m not confident.” This makes everyone on red team look over sadly, shaking their heads… 

…. but Choyeon just looks down at her hands. 

She voice overs that this could be her last stage, as sad piano music plays. 

And then bam! Bam! They quickly reveal the final points -- Choyeon got a respectable 54 votes, second highest on her team and quite a lot considering her immediate competition amongst these 12 talented and popular trainees. But Wonyoung got 90, and red team won, 440 to 356.

Red Team: Choi Yena 64 Na Goeun 42 Shiroma Miru 112 Honda Hitomi 70 An Yujin 62 Jang Wonyoung  90

Blue Team: Lee Chaeyeon 34 Kwon Eunbi 24 Miyawaki Sakura  164 Motomura Aoi 46 Kim Minju 34 Kim Choyeon 54

That’s Wonyoung hugging Choyeon.

The girls all hug and applaud each other, and Wonyoung voiceovers, “I felt bad because we all worked hard together.” They do all rehearse together in the same training room, even though they’re two different teams, and probably all get to be at least sort of friends. So in a way, this was a proto-IZ*one challenge. 

Most of the blue team is crying now, including Minju. But Choyeon voiceovers that she doesn’t have regrets because she knows they all did their best. 

Ok, friends! That’s about it for this post. In my next one, I’m going to finish out episode 4 and do a bit of analysis of the challenge overall, including my personal rankings and some math. After that, I think I’m going to pause the P48 recaps for a bit while I watch Build Up, but I guess we’ll see about that either way. 

Also, as a side note: Here’s Kep1er doing Very Very! They do a great job, I think.

Thanks, chingus and dongsaengs, for reading! I’ll see you soon.
