Creative Spotlight #3: Jeong Yunho
Masterlist
Intro: With so many new Atinys coming in, I figured now would be a good time to shed some light on all the boys' creative solo projects over the years, big and small.
ANEWZ
Yunho once shared he wanted to be a news reporter/anchorman when he was younger which led to the inception of ANEWZ back in 2020:
That same year, he got to meet Jang Sung Kyu, an anchor he'd been looking up to, and interview him to get some tips and advice (yes, this was in the same video where Wooyoung sat so hard on Seonghwa's lap, Seonghwa looked like he was about to cry and that's why the view count is so high):
ANEWZ is by far the most consistent content we get from any of the members, with the most recent one being released on July 24th of this year:
We get Yunho talking to himself on the regular, interviewing other members, dropping the gossip about behind the scenes shenanigans and more. It's lovely.
Imitation Soundtrack
As a main cast member of the drama Imitation, Yunho was part of the fictional group Sparkling, together with Seonghwa and San, which means he also participated in various performances throughout the show, but let's highlight the most iconic one right here and now:
They made fun of Diamond for so long and still do sometimes ("FInalLY NOW, it's my tIME"). This performance is also where that dance move comes from Yunho is doing here (watch older content and you'll see Wooyoung doing that every five minutes - iconic):
Collabs
Around two years ago, Yunho, San, and Jongho were featured on a Pentatonix song called A Little Space which you can find here (it even includes a Korean verse!):
That same year, him and Hongjoong were featured in a Pepsi Commercial song together with Rain and members of Monsta X and Brave Girls (iconic):
On August 1st, 2024, Yunho was featured in an Eve Seo song called KkungKkungDda. The MV is very fun and goofy, featuring Yunho as the boy at school every girl wants:
Cover Song
The first cover he ever released on Ateez's channel came out 3 months ago, titled Even If It's Your Happiness:
Filmed on an old camera, the footage is grainy and in 3-by-4 format, giving it that nostalgic 90's feel. The song itself kicks off extremely pretty and cute, cozy and warm, perfectly fitting Yunho's voice and the self-shot footage which shows us the world through his eyes.
Then, reaching the halfway mark, the song explodes, drums kicking in, and we get to hear his powerful register, allowing him to really show off as a vocalist. It's really beautiful.
Fashion
Like Hongjoong and San, Yunho has now also made his debut in the fashion world. In his case, by attending Seoul Fashion Week, as can be seen on his Instagram:

A MASTERLIST OF 70+ NOT-SO COMMONLY USED MALE FACECLAIMS OF EASTERN ASIAN DESCENT ( because there’s more to east asian faceclaims than just the same few pretty-faced kpop boys )
faceclaims are listed in order of age as of february 2017 (oldest to youngest) in the format “NAME (AGE) | OCCUPATION | ETHNICITY”. SURNAMES are capitalised. feel free to ctrl + f to narrow the faceclaims down by ethnicity.
IMPORTANT NOTE & PSA BEFORE PROCEEDING: use the faceclaims for characters who are the same ethnicity as them, please and thank you. sounds simple enough? you’d think it should go without saying that you should use a chinese fc for a chinese muse right? so many people are still to this day getting it wrong ( yes, casting a korean fc for a chinese muse still happens ! ), and as an east-asian poc in the rp community it aggravates me to no end that people are still finding excuses for racist behaviour. “oh but it’s not racist !” you say? thinking it’s okay to use one ethnicity in place of another completely different ethnicity is, in essence, implying that they’re perfectly interchangeable and saying they’re ‘practically the same thing’ - recognise that this is offensive.
i’ll say it once again: please use this list accordingly and use the faceclaims for characters of their respective ethnicities. if you can’t find one that matches or fits, hold off on adding a faceclaim until you do. you’ll live without using a faceclaim and icons for the time being, trust me, and it’s far better than being lazy and racist.
there’s also plenty of other resources out there available for you to find a suitable faceclaim. additionally, please don’t whitewash your icons/graphics. for more guidance on how to recognise and avoid this, refer to this handy post !
