Let's talk about TXT's MAMA Performance: Lyrics and Stage Analysis

That was amazing! Better than their mma. Idk if the camera work is largely to blame for mma but also narrative wise this one felt like it followed much more of a concrete storyline, and just WOW that entrance with all the crosses and cathedral background...!

Is is a stretch to say it reminded me of yeonjun's "in this endless darkness, like oh my god so holy"?

I found it clever how they utilized religious motifs like the crosses and the coffin in the background to emphasize how their love progressively shifts from something sacred and sanctified to painful and buried. Accepting their loss is much like accepting a death. It makes sense then that they started their performance with opening sequence, which has lyrics that align to this loss:

And also that they then did good boy gone bad, a song that reflects them taking that pain and vulnerability from before, and nurturing it for the worse:

Notice how they start their performance in a cathedral setting, wearing black and white. It feels rather symbolic since black and white are the characteristic opposites used to portray good versus evil, light versus dark, innocence versus impurity - very much in line with the song.

Then when Yeonjun gets dragged away, the cathedral background starts to tilt a bit and it looks like he's being taken outside.

The VCR effect of him falling seems to indicate he's falling into his own grave or maybe even hell. Would make sense with the GBGB lyrics.

When they return, notice how they are now outside the cathedral:

The lighting is red and ominous, a great color to convey their anger. There are crosses around, indicating they may be in a graveyard. Again, all of this lines up so well with the lyrics, of burying their past selves, coming back "like a zombie, dead and alive".

But then the dance break UMMM IT WAS INCREDIBLE?!!!_!$(##(

I can't be the only one who finds it super emblematic how Yeonjun is blindfolded while Soobin is biting on the lace - unable to speak. Basically, Yeonjun's lost his sight and Soobin has lost his voice.

Like this, they'd be unable to find one another. But the thing is, they do. They dance around one another like they're seeking each other out in an almost cat and mouse game of hide and seek, reaching, grabbing then tearing away. But what really caught my attention was Yeonjun cusping Soobin's chin and slowly bringing him closer before Soobin cast him aside.

I wish my screenshots could do it more justice but with the lighting and camera work changing so quickly, it's hard to capture. The dance practice will surely be clearer.

Listen, if you follow me you'll know I'm super gay and I see gay subtext in like everything I consume lmao but I don't think it's much of a stretch to say this moment felt intentionally queer? Religious motifs have been a medium for homosexual representation for ages, mainly because of religion's staunch anti lgbt attitude. And just...the way Yeonjun is blindfolded and Soobin unable to speak...it just screams to me as being representative of a love that cannot be seen or dare to speak its name. And yet they still found each other, among the crosses.

(There is room to assume Soobin wasn't able to tie the blindfold in time and simply put it in his mouth instead, but either way it's an interesting detail and I'm curious to see what the dance practice reveals)

In any case, I found their paired dance shared a similar sentiment to their 0x1=lovesong dance, so if anything they are probably paying homage to their past title tracks

Overall:

TALENTED BRILLIANT INCREDIBLE AMAZING SHOWSTOPPING

I want to give a big kiss to the performance directors and staff that makes this all possible!!! And of course TXT for bringing it all together so beautifully. They can be proud of this one.

[nyasialiveshere]

I'm patiently waiting for the day sean lew does his big one and finally choreographs for sm and saves the company from mediocrity cause southern hip hop does not go like how they've been doing it or teaching it.

Back in the day they used to have a good medium of american choreographers to assist the trainee's and idols and clean up their faults now it's like they don't' have that and it's soo evident.

I don't care the minute they got rid of that bald british or american dude they companies dancing went down hill. It became a weird oligarchy. Like I noticed kai's main teacher started recommending people he trained and they eventually ended up replacing most of the western choreographers. They brought in bailey sok

for peaches, the asian american southern swag hip hop extraordinaire that she is and it was way better than Mmmh.

It actually had so many different elements in it, but most don't really focus on the dancing. But for rover they settled on bada lee

who is mainly a krump battle dancer, it lacked authenticity. Not to get all so you think you can dance, but Jongin cannot do that and at sm they make no effort to really teach everyone learns on their own and they aren't really pushed to be at a certain standard.

Kasper and all those other choreographers and that studio they get most of the dancers from have a very specific skill sets.

They've been with sm for quite some time and I get that, loyalty but like the art world don't work like that they're gonna get left behind.

they got clout about 2013 from america's best dance crew made it to the quarter finals cool. We back to Korea with prestige

Did the olympics alongside exo.

I get sm always wants people with lots of prestige and clout but they tend to keep the same people for so long the creative image of sm gets stifled and left behind, now sm is desperately trying all the trends and fads to get their artists relevant to the youth again. Like it's a little late they should have been letting young creative directors in.

I don't care I'm always gonna advocate for new and upcoming artist with lots of passion. They make the world turn, they start the trends, they bring the most energy with their ideas.

Ignoring the performative style an artist specializes in and getting choreographers that make lite hood tik tok mashup dances is ruining the game. But if one must do it I think letting the western choreographers they bring in for ideas have some real creative freedom. It typically never fails I feel like they bring in these choreographers for a blueprint then let a korean choreographer twist it up a little bit so they never have to really give somebody credit. They never say western names hardly if ever only thank you team who contributed to the success but the korean choreographers get to show their face, do interviews, and idols basically have them as a part of the crew.

Like they are NOT slick. At all. I know the western choreographers get inspo from southern hip hop but at least they are transparent. They'll say this is inspired by this dance, two step, crank that, etc but it never is even a topic of discussion. Only full credit going to the k choreographers and yeah yeah some other people helped...like people forget why exo's choreo was so on point when they started

I really don't wanna make it seem like it's just black creators they try to shelve and ignore it's basically anyone non korean.

Tony Testa I remember him from back in the day but when I wanted to search him up to my surprise nobody really talked about him and the only choreographer people talk about training Kai is mainly Mihawk and Kasper...which is somewhat true.

Cause they're choreo is...like it's okay.. but Kai himself went into how Mihawk trained Exo and it was basically sm style, yelling, you're terrible, quit now, emotional abuse... wow you're famous I love you let's take pictures.. I don't care they gaslight them kids idc idc idc. Now that's trauma bonding.

But then there's the actual full truth that they and many other sm performers who have been praised for their dances around that time, were in fact trained by a real deal professional at one point, one of their staple choreographers was Tony Testa and he choreographed for Britney Spears(circus) and Michael Jackson(Testa was hired by director Kenny Ortega as an associate choreographer for Michael Jackson's final tour This Is It which obviously never got to happen but still)

This was dance on sunset? I think?

and suddenly the quality makes all the sense in the world

But again try and find it without knowing about it before hand you'd be like yeah no they never really had any western choreographers. There's no history books in Kpop if you were there you remember but if you weren't woops doesn't exist.

except it does.

Anyway too many people have this weird odd narrative Mihawk did it all and thank God for him like....how? He's just one of the only one's still there. Everybody else left cause Korea is trash to artists and creatives.

Like Kai cannot do that hood stuff, he wasn't trained for that at all. Now if sm invested more in there artists fine blame him but everybody knows these kids would dance in that basement for hours by themselves cause be honest they probably paid the teachers for a certain amount of time and then it's all on the kids. They absorb as much as they can but then it's up to them. He couldn't just learn such an advanced style like krumping from watching, you either grow up in the culture or you learn from someone who grew up in the culture. This is why you can't expect these Korean teachers to teach krumping. They know it but only cause they most likely learned from someone close to the source, it's not just something that can spread so easily.

sm has always like historically done this like it's just something they do they will never stop taking these itsy bitsy pieces of black culture and recycling it they can't help it. They've worked with tons of black artist to make the actual music and tend to get some western or black influenced people to try and create some type of instant quick success. But it's so subtle one could say it's not related at all.

I would say its a coincidence but knowing who trained shotaro like uhm no it's not,

Sm knows exactly what company trained Shotaro and they are known to specialize in krumping and hip hop. The little time he spent at sm most likely taught him barely anything he was already trained when they got him. They fib so much and never let their artists go into detail. He trained for years with a company that trains people in the top boy groups in japan.

EXPG is a studio connected with the iconic Japanese boy group exile tribe where most of their members train.

I just get tired of people saying 'studio from japan or studio in america' like if it was Korean people would give the entire name...like what's wrong with giving people credit who deserve it.

They typically sometimes get sent to new york for 2 years I think? But that was in the old days it may be different now. This is because the japanese always understood if you want your artist to do black music they should not just sing black music but be under the cultural american influence in some sort of way.

I don't know what they aren't getting, Kai isn't perfect at every style. They just don't plan on ever investing any more money into him or really any of their artists.

He was more in his comfort zone at the beginning of exo with a heavy emphasis on jazz and contemporary style dance.

If there isn't jazz or contemporary at least in the basis of the dance that's where Kai starts to falter. Broadway theater style is what he's most comfortable in. But because of appearance they push urban dance on him.

They didn't even try with bomba

Rover was a soul crushing mix between crank that soulja boi and the macarena.

I was watching the video like nooo that's every viral black/ethnic dance in one and I already knew that tagged choreographer was korean. I wanna analyze rover later but I might get upset it's pretty like a big major 106 in park style mv/music video and dance but like that fact just got

Everything he specializes in sm is like nah they also make anyone with sm have this weird loyalty to where the artist never get to express and cultivate themselves as a human. They are stuck in some sort of child/star hybrid.

I don't know why in the world they didn't send exo or at least super m to millenium they literally rented out the studio where so many talented dancers choreograph and just flew out they korean choreographer so ignorant. They were so stubborn with that group.

I feel like if they were trained by young vibrant artist close to their age they could of gotten so much inspiration. Freedom is really a virus and why would a kpop company want them to have freedom

Like hire the boy he just traveling around asia in his spare time making some of the best choreography of his career and they're like lalalala let's hire other people he's worked and trained with but not him. If anyone could actually help fill in the gaps with some of sm's main dancers I think he could.

Anyway I just feel definitely by 2025 either super m is gonna be somewhat active or sm will be out of business but I still think sean and kai should at least meet up once at a dance conference they become friends and post jazzy contemporary dances online with the occasional obligatory bff's cooking in the kitchen youtube channel, like so many of the peebles do now and days. They both do the same artsy triple threat yet auditioning to be a stay at home husband type of thing, cooking, yoga, self care. Like it can be good for the brand I swear. I just have a thing for artsy people with the same vibes clicking up. It's not so far fetched cause he already worked with Jackson. I just want the two balls of sunshine to meet

Theme Comparison: 'Eyes On Me' by Alfred Sun vs. 'Nightwalker' by TEN

‘Eyes On Me’ by Alfred Sun

A fairly simple song in terms of lyrics and the music video itself, but Alfred Sun thoughtfully considered the performance that portrays philautia (love for oneself). Straight off the bat, the theme of the video is immediately placed on the audience. Alfred wears a light blue outfit as opposed to the backup dancers in white. If it was a dark shade to be a direct opposite of white, it would stand out too much with what he wanted to convey. Instead, the background does the work for him, the main focal point being the harsh beam of light in the background that always centers on Alfred.

Alfred is constantly in the front and center of the performance, which is typically unconventional for most performances. Dancers constantly change from a fixed spot on stage to build a sense of movement or dynamics. The backup dancers compensate for this by changing the amount of space and people in each segment. How would the rap segment at 1:06 get conveyed differently if all of the backup dancers were present instead of just four? It would not be fitting for the theme; The most distinct verse of the song should focus on him being the distinct person he is performing.

‘Nightwalker’ by TEN

TEN's performance from his latest concept holds similar themes to Alfred’s performance on the surface—similar color schemes, composition structure, and symbolism—except this song is an example of agape love (love of the divine). The ending of their entanglement begins at 1:28 when TEN moves away from the center and the backup dancers are no longer facing him. This is where you begin to see that the dancers do not serve to compliment TEN's dancing, but rather function as a unit to construct the abstractness of his faith. The rap segment uses a larger amount of dancers than Alfred's. This enhances the dance better than if they used fewer dancers, as divinity is something greater than you can imagine.

The dance break at 2:16 is very similar to Alfred’s (1:59), and why I thought to compare these two, because it shows how the purpose of the song drastically changes the end result. Instead of the backup dancers being ‘directed’ by the artist, they act as the spirit inhabiting TEN by extending his performance outward. He also uses the same beam of light as Alfred, though for a different symbolic meaning. Up until the end of the video, TEN is in the abyss, and the parting from the center that we see previously shows it's an endless darkness. When the light is revealed at the end, his walking towards conveys his faith of a greater being. 

I try to make these analyses short, but if you would like longer, more detail-oriented ones, feel free to let me know!

[doodletae]

I can't believe it, I already know now You have logged out from my world ... You disappeared for a moment, you disappeared Like a faint ghost I bury it in the air What am I to you? (What) ... Actually I know "No answer," that's the answer ... Just like us in the picture (Like) We have to go back again (Again, do it) I'm still here (I'm still here) I'm still here ... I'm like a ghost

-"ghosting" by txt

i had such a hard time deciding which lyrics to include (and this is still a good chunk) 'cause this song does such a good job with storytelling and showing emotion instead of outright telling it to the listener. the saddest thing about ghosting is that it's always one-sided; one side of the friendship has moved on and cut you off. while you're still scrambling to process everything they're out there living their life as always.

when someone ghosts you, they essentially make you the ghost: you're unnoticed, you're invisible, and you no longer have a presence in their life. without warning you've become nothing to them even if they still mean everything to you.

KATSEYE D1 Chart Analysis

Firstly, I would like to congratulate all the members of KATSEYE who are about to debut tomorrow, wishing them the best of luck and a good legal team on their side!

KATSEYE are Uttara Bhadra Nakshatra girlies, meaning they are ruled over Saturn.

The group is about to debut, so I can not describe this Nakshatra in depth, but for a surface-level description, Saturn rules over time, making it the time lord and their Nakshatra is also under Pisces, and in Sidereal astrology, Kpop is ruled under Pisces (Sun, Venus, Vertex & Mercury).

From my interpretation, KATSEYE took some time to actually come to fruition, and now with Kpop finally gaining a lot of popularity in the West, H*** took the initiative to create this group. The formation, debut process, and content of KATSEYE are very similar to the K-pop industry.

Along with the selective trainees and members, they somewhat fit the Korean Beauty Standard, and I remember, this caused a slight uproar because there weren’t enough Black/Monoracial Black Women or Darker Skinned POC Women in the lineup, and the only Black member, Manon was only approved due to the infamous Paper-bag test, just in case you don’t know what I’m talking about here is the definition: “ Brown paper bag/Paper bag test in which, if you weren’t as “light” in skin color as a brown paper bag, you weren’t allowed to join certain social organizations, fraternities and sororities.”

To be quite honest, it is sad to see how set-back society is when it comes to Black female/Darker Skinned POC female representation, but we will still go out of our way and support Manon and the rest of the POC members! (sorry, I don’t know all their names)

KATSEYE have their Nakshatra lord, Purva Bhadra Saturn in their 1H along with their Purva Bhadra ascendant! Right off the bat, I have to mention that Aquarius rules over groups and communities, and this is what makes KATSEYE stand out, the members are of different ethnicities, nationalities, and races!

This is also their detriment because we all know, racism and the K-pop stans on Twitter being their usual deranged selves.

Saturn being in this placement could give them an upper hand of somewhat being the “blueprint” of being the first popular Western group debuting from a K-pop company, but we will see if this will ever happen though.

KATSEYE has a Uttara Bhadra Moon & Neptune, Rahu, and Chiron Revati. Once again, this group is literally meant to be a Western K-pop group. More of their Pisces influence will help them stand out really well in the West, because of the way H*** will promote them, and the Moon trine Punarvasu Mercury, along with the product of their discography.

Their Moon has really good aspects with their Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Ascendant too?! This basically proves my first point of how KATSEYE is just a Western K-pop group.

Now to the downside of their Chiron placement, the girlies could go through the following because of this: Struggle with their Self-worth/confidence, Vocal controversies (Mercury square Chiron), and lastly, signing a contract for a low salary.

They have a Bharani Mars, and as I had mentioned in my previous readings Mars represents dance/movement. The group's overall choreography could be quite fast-paced, since the 3H where this placement is placed, their chores could have similarities to how Girl Groups in Kpop have their ‘Commercial Dances’ where we see a lot of their arms and hands/fingers being the main way they dance.

KATSEYE have a Rohini Jupiter and Krittika Uranus, their Jupiter placement gives them the upper hand because they will receive a lot of support from fans from their native country/race. This is already noticeable with the amount of Indian and Black fans supporting KATSEYE for Manon and Lara.

Uranus represents individuality and uniqueness because it rules Aquarius which is found in the group 1H of identity, and Krittika’s symbol is the Knife, and from what I believe with this group, A LOT of individuals will mostly be sending a lot of hate to this group and it will never end because people will attempt to nitpick on irrelevant things for no reason.

KATSEYE has a 5H Ardra Part of Fortune, Sun, Venus, and a Punarvasu Mercury. Since Gemini rules over this cusp, I would not be surprised if this group would switch concepts a few times while they’re active. Venus being here could mean they will receive a lot of support/love for their music and creativity OR the members themselves have a genuine interest in music and creativity.

They also have a Hasta Ketu Uttara Phalguni Vetex and Lilith. H*** and G***** Records should avoid overworking these girls for the sake of their money, this placement could also mean the members could overwork themselves to prove haters wrong on social media. They should also be very careful with their styling to avoid over-sexualizing them and give them proper outfits that merge/mend well with the concepts and the group's overall image.

Ha! Mula MC, Mula is ruled over Sagittarius and this oftentimes represents foreign travel or just any foreign concept overall, how ironic because KATSEYE members are 5/6 foreign and they all had to move away from home to reside in LA for the sake of promotions and their career.

Lastly, Pluto in Uttara Ashadha (Sagittarius-Capricon) in their 12H (represents foreign topics in Vedic astrology). This group is a product of 2 foreign businessmen/CEOs, hence why they have somehow transformed/merged the two completely different industries into one group, and that's KATSEYE.

Pluto being in this mix, I hope the members care for their mental health because it is going to be a lot to deal with!❤️‍🩹 Wishing KATSEYE the best of luck with their idol careers!

And thanks to Manon for being another representation for the Black girlies in Kpop!📦🤎

[mellosdrawings]

You mentioned your K-pop era when discussing Jamil as a triple threat. I also listened to K-pop in high school! Who are your favorite bands? I love Shinee, B2st/Highlight, and 2pm. Book 5 actually got me back into listening to K-pop again. And if they were half as talented as a K-pop group then they most certainly would have beat a children's song with a dwarf who couldn't remember his Own Name. Your rant on Book 5 is a perfect analysis in my opinion.

Oh dear, gotta check my old playlists, I only listen to the old songs now.

Boybands: BTS, EXO, Super Junior, SHINee (but, you know, that happened and I never managed to listen to any new songs since), BAP, VIXX

Girlbands: 4Minute, Exid, Red Velvet, BlackPink, Twice

And then a few other groups I listened to sporadically like Speed, Monsta X, iKON, Block B, Got 7, Momoland, etc

I used to be quite curious about it at the time so I looked for new songs and groups regularly. Now I just go back every once in a while to check the groups I really like, but I don't look for new groups. All the new era groups are just vague names I heard but I never really bothered.

Thanks for liking my rant o/ Honestly I can see why RSA won from my experience in Kpop communities. Sometimes you end up not caring about the quality of a song, you just vote for your bias/ favorite groups because you're gonna support them till death or something. Considering Neige's popularity and the fact that NRC tribe was exhausted after having fought Vil’s OB, I can see how they could have won.

But yeah, obviously Absolutely Beautiful was better. BTW I discovered a dance MV recently so if you wanna check it out, it's there

NewJeans chart analysis please? <3

NewJeans birth chart analysis

HYBE's astrologer deserves a raise this chart is fucking fantastic.

So they have a Taurus rising which is reasonable. When they popped into the scenes people said they were a "breath of fresh air" and they also were seen as a stable, youthful group with a young aura. The Moon in their first house can also point to their youthfulness. In kpop birthcharts Mars can represent choreographies and one thing people know about NewJeans is how they have fun choreos. The Moon conjunct Mars shows why the Hybe Boy choreo was a hit in S.K. Their choreo's were not as complex and also was fun. (Mars is at 11 degrees which explains how they always go viral for their dances) Uranus in the first house shows how they quickly took over people quickly. They are seen as titans and have claimed their spot. NN in Taurus shows they were going to be successful.

Venus in Cancer can represent the music and NJ has soft, relaxing music that is well liked in their home country and in the media (Third house). PoF in Cancer yeah that explains how they are so successful in S.K. Sun at 28 degrees??? Yeah it shows how they are seen as youthful, etc. Also with mercury the way their songs are written and how they express themselves is quite emotional (Baby (baby), got me looking so crazy (crazy) 빠져버리는 daydream (daydream) Got me feeling you 너도 말해줄래?). Asteroid Varuna in LEO??? Varuna can represent extreme fame so...

Asteroid Asia is at 5th house which makes sense. They are seen as artists and talented in S.K. but the 2 degrees, they are going to get their bags!!

Fama and Vertex are in Libra 6th house so it can mean destined to be famous by music in your day to day life.

I would expect them to have a Gemini MC but Cap MC makes sense when you think about it. They are seen as modest, quiet and natural beauties. Pluto 10th house shows how much they are "Shaking the industry, Quaking reality, Making it iconic" (ifykyk!).

Saturn 11th house can mean a mature group. They know how to work well and are smart.

Jupiter is in the 12th huse shows how successful they are abroad. However Chiron 12th? I hope nothing terrible happens behind the scenes.

ATEEZ Wooyoung MBTI Analysis

- ESFP -

An in-depth analysis of an idol's MBTI type. Based on my opinion and observations, may change later. Not an expert.

ESFP (Se - Fi - Te - Ni)

Dom: Se (Extroverted Sensing)

A perceiving function that uses our 5 senses to process the external world.

Wooyoung is always aware of the present moment, quick to react and to take action. He also pays attention to physical things such as aesthetics, the visuals of the performance, the way he looks, etc physical appearances matter a lot to him.

He enjoys photography and videography, which are pretty good activities for Se - it allows him to use his senses to make visually stimulating images and videos. Physically engaging activities seem like the best way to energize him e.g cooking and riding a bike. Cooking is great for his Se as it engages with all his senses - all the movement in cooking, tasting the foods, the aromas, watching the food cook, plating, maybe he enjoys hearing the sounds of food cooking as well and/or the way kitchen tools slightly hit each other (e.g knife on a cutting board).

This moment especially was an incredibly Se dom moment. Comparing it to Si user Jongho (Si has to step back and assess first), being the Se dom he is, Woo just went for it.

Aux: Fi (Introverted Feeling)

A judging function that uses one's own values and belief to compare and make choices

As Fi wants to be authentic, that is what Wooyoung always strives for - he always wants to express himself well, to be real. He wants people to like him for him. He returns the same gesture with others - he wants to know the real version of others. Wooyoung tries not to make assumptions at first meet since he knows he will not learn everything just from one encounter. He seems very empathetic.

Tert: Te (Extroverted Thinking)

A judging function that uses established facts and systems to make objective, working decisions.

He's quite goal oriented and takes time to plan to achieve these goals, even if it's not the most detailed. Either way, he knows how to get what he wants and works hard to reach his achievements.

Wooyoung lays down the rules as well - Te can be by the book, which Wooyoung can be sometimes. E.g when he was explaining how he found it rude when juniors would not put in the effort to correctly bow down to him and other senior artists. Wooyoung has a strong belief in being humble and kind (Fi) and wants to implement this in everyone.

Inf: Ni (Introverted Intuition)

A perceiving function that uses one's own personal insights and ideas

In his episode of "Fill in the Blank" series, Wooyoung said he wanted to use dance to convey deeper messages and emotions for others. He wants to be a sense of comfort, the light in other's darkness. He has always wanted to make an impact on others from a young age, especially considering how much he values relationships.

___

Why is he not an xSFJ or ISTJ

Both types use Si - Ne, which I do not see in Wooyoung at all...xSFJ's Fe is understandable, but Wooyoung is sometimes a bit too straightforward and honest to be using Fe in his main stack though lol.

And ISTJ just does not make sense in general for him.

Kpop typology list

[sh0tanzz]

MY KPOP PREDICTIONS (halfway based on astrology halfway based on my own personal analysis)

reminder this is mainly just my thoughts based on my own research and some studying and is NOT exact fact unless proven to be

later down the road the formation for global groups and foreign members are going to uptick and global training/audition headquarters could happen (personal idea is it'll be most prevalent in the late spring/summer time) . a big guess my moot had is that if the gg katseye's debut is well received, does good numbers, and is successful then the push will go further for diverse/global groups

a company might delve into debuting a "dance group" or a group centered around performance and choreos rather than self made music/vocals OR dance videos to promote groups instead of predebut song releases might happen more often OR young choreographers might start debuting as group members rather than as just choreographers

company hierarchy is going to become VERY obvious and prevalent

the min heejin situation won't be the only legal thing to happen most likely,, also claims of lying, fraud, manipulation and unfair power imbalances might happen more frequently..also business/brand collabs might be torn..companies/idols losing pr, sponsorships and brand deals/ambassadorships

despite the clash or downfall of collaborations there might be more company collabs between each other OR some form of a company merge, or a new company branch from the big 3 might form

everyone and their moms has said this but I agree as well idols past actions and dating histories will be exposed and a layer of privacy for idols might be peeled back..COMPANIES might also get exposed for negligence and harm/mistreatment of idols (hence the fourth prediction)

social media might bite some idols/groups in the ass...im not sure how yet but maybe something revolving social media might accidentally cause negative situations for multiple people under the industry like a screenshot of them flirting with someone or an old post taken out of context

the kpop soundscape might be weird for a moment..like there'll be a random transitional stage at some point and the overall sound might become very random and indescribable before being fully evolved leading to an awkward moment in the industry or in multiple fandoms at least LOLL

TWICE Mina Birth Chart Analysis

Based on my opinion and observations. Not a professional astrologer. May change later.

If you like kpop and astrology, I read idols' birth charts and astro notes. List is here.

March 24th, 1997

San Antonio, Texas, USA

5:03 AM

☀️♈️, 🌙♎️, ⬆️♓️

Sun, Venus, and Saturn Aries in 1st house. A lot of Aries energy and focus on herself

Sun Aries is exalted and in 1st house, which I believe gives her a lot of confidence. While Mina is shy and quiet, she definitely has confidence when she performs. She's not afraid to show bolder sides that contrast her soft appearance e.g her dance in sixteen, her sexy dance on a variety show that even surprised jyp (either weekly idol or idol league...i can't recall at the moment), when she was watching their hip rolls in one of their concerts and she said she could do better lol.

Sun conjuncts Venus and Saturn...Overall charming and kind individual who's responsible and hard working. There's a lot of indication of Mina being a quite serious and intense person internally but softer and nicer externally.

Moon in Libra in 7th shows a value for relationships. She likely likes to form deep bonds with others, she feels happy and secure when she knows she has a reliable support system. The theme of companionship seems highly valued with her North Node Virgo also residing in 7th house.

Mars Virgo also sits in her 7th. Mars Virgo people are often perfectionistic and detail oriented, which Mina is. She even prefers activities with specific instructions rather than just doing whatever. Mars in 7th people should be wary of power imbalance in relationships. From what I see in her chart, Mina may struggle to speak up for herself...I know she does not like to cause conflict and tries to avoid it, even if it were to make a good change. She may need to be careful about letting others walk over her, whether she likes them or not.

Venus Aries is in detriment. Mina is shy and may be slightly awkward at times, but she definitely cares a lot for her members. In the 1st house, it gives her a charming and likeable first impression. Makes her quite a beauty as well.

Saturn in 1st makes her very reserved and serious, maybe even a bit of an old soul. Jupiter in 12th also adds more emphasis to this trait. She wants to be a good and wise person, a person with strong morals and beliefs.

Neptune and Uranus are also in 12th. Internalized. Vivid inner life and likely very intuitive due to Neptune. Uranus longs for freedom and unrestricted self expression.

She also has Venus conjunct Saturn, which can give her trouble with love and affection. It may be hard for her to learn how to show affection to others. May struggle with self love. As much confidence she has, she also seems to have a very overly critical nature.

Merucry in 2nd shows a carefulness with finances. She could also probably make money through mercurial activities such as writing, teaching, being on tv, etc any type of communication to others. Iirc, a fortune teller said she would be good at doing Youtube/streaming. Streamers/youtubers do engage with an audience while staying in their physical comfort zone and given how much of a homebody Mina is, it would be perfect for her.

Pluto in 9th shows she can get deeply interested in different subjects and tries hard to learn about those topics. She holds strong opinions but doesn't express them openly due to her reserved nature.

Pisces rising explains her melancholic yet elegant look. Water risings in general look melancholic lol and Pisces tend to have soft features. Like most water risings, she's calm and quiet, even a bit shy. However, I think she holds a lot of intensity and passion in her, especially with her Pluto square Asc...All the Aries placements add more to her tension, but Pisces rising softens it.

MC Sagittarius wants to be open minded and free. Mina seems to have some sort of restraint on herself, only showing real parts of herself here and there to people. She'll truly be happy when she can finally be free of hers and others expectations.

The Killa Choreography: Commentary and Analysis

So, the day has arrived where we finally know what The Killa looks like on stage! It was Yeonjun and Soobin's first time performing this unit song, and we all knew it would be something sexy when it was released last month. If you don't know the song, well, you don't even need to take a glance at the lyrics to catch the vibe. But in case you're curious, there's lines like "tame me and fill me up with you" and "you're dominating me" so…you can imagine what sort of attention this track got and the anticipatory hype leading up to the concert. It seemed every fan had one question on their mind, namely What would this performance look like? 

What I find interesting about this stage is that it easily could have been a track paired with sensual choreography for the audience - you know, your standard kpop fan service platter full of the Sexy Boyfriend fantasy where fans are meant to believe their idols are singing about wanting them. And yet it took a surprisingly creative direction by yes, clearly having a sensual dance with your typical kpop fan service elements, but (contrary to my expectations!) communicating first and foremost a sensual story through the choreography. Let's take a look.

The choreo starts with Soobin and Yeonjun approaching each other from opposite ends of the stage, wearing opposite colored clothing (black and white). More on that in a moment. First, I'd like to direct your attention to the screen behind them, which depicts large mirrors encasing their walk on the stage.

The utilization of mirrors as a visual design feature is really cool for a track containing this much lust because mirrors, while symbolically serving many purposes, tend to represent the duality of self: we check the mirror to assure that who we see in the reflection is an acceptable version of us who we can present to the world; that nothing noticeably flawed or unsatisfactory comes beneath the surface. As such, mirrors force us to acknowledge our duality and assuage our two opposing sides (light and dark). There's a quote I really love by Michelle Arch that captures this sentiment well: "Through mirrors we see our cognizant, social, 'better' self and the natural world in which we live, while also glimpsing, and sometimes succumbing to, the darker, depraved image of our subconscious 'second' self and the frightening, otherworldly realm in which it resides". 

Given that this song relies heavily on communicating lust and our narrator's obsessive desire to be controlled - what one would consider the dark and depraved subconcious - the use of mirrors alongside the clothing color contrast was an excellent creative choice! While color theory suggests that white is a typical color for innocence, and black is characteristic for, well, all things dark and corrupt, I think this color choice was used more strongly to represent the opposite push and pull energy we're about to witness between them, as well as the aforementioned duality they exhibit.

Once they reach each other on stage, Soobin gently reaches out and rests his hand below Yeonjun's chin. Then, in sync with the beat, he gracefully glides his hand away while singing "Tame me, please", as Yeonjun's gaze follows his hand.

This moment intrigued me not just because it's that typical txt homoeroticism coming through lol but because it sets up a story. A fan on Twitter made an exciting point, namely that Yeonjun, by hypnotically following Soobin's hand, is the character in this performance who is initially being tamed. And so starts a cat and mouse chase of each character confessing their desire and tantalizingly pushing and pulling away from each other.

They break away from each other but Yeonjun keeps his eyes on Soobin as his body is sliding away. He sings: "I'm craving it more and more, you know I want you bad, show me mercy"

Right before we transition to Soobin's part, they point at each other and say "The moment that we found each other in our eyes".

I thought the pointing at each other was significant because this easily could have been turned into a kpop fan service thing where they point at the audience while saying those lines, but instead this motion acknowledges that they're referring to each other, further emphasizing that this is a performance between two impassioned characters who are seeking each other. Soobin says right after this "Want you to tame me now [...] I'll serve you." It's clear now that this is a conversation.

They slowly move towards one another and I absoluteoy love the detail of Yeonjun grabbing the hem of his shirt as if he's being involuntarily pulled towards Soobin.

When they are within reach of each other, Yeonjun glides his hand across Soobin's chest and they both delve into the chorus choreography.

The chorus part feels more fan servicey to me because rather than facing each other, they are side by side hip thrusting while facing the audience. Perhaps it would've gotten a touch too erotic if they went there lol (after all wasn't the age requirement for his conert 9 and up or something??).

They transition out of the chorus by circling one another and sizing each other up.

Then they whip out the finger guns at each other once again while the lyrics center again on wanting to be dominated and it's "only you". If that weren't enough, they point at each other AGAIN repeatedly during the series of "you, you, you"s playing in the song.

I'm also a little in love with the detail of Soobin placing his hand on Yeonjun's shoulder as Yeonjun sings "Yes, I belong to you". I'm reaching my image limit so I'm just going to include a nice mirroring detail towards the end where Yeonjun rests his hand on Soobin's shoulder, an apparent callback to earlier. Perhaps a confirmation that these characters affirm they now belong to each other?

In conclusion, this performance surprised me more than I expected (and I know they'll get a bit more bold for this stage once they hit their US tour stops). I know that some could argue that placing two members into a sensual choreography with each other is a form of fan service and I agree to an extent, but I'd also counter by saying that that perspective disregards the creativity and craft put into the choreography. This isn't sexy for the sake of being sexy. It's sexy because it's intertwining the song's overt sensuality with characters embodying that lust.

Overall, I'd say the choreography has shifted my perspective of the song. I used to see it as one voice communicating wanting one abstract idea of a person but now I see Soobin and Yeonjun's verses as two separate conversations that their characters are having with each other. Everyone thank our little freak Taehyun for contributing to the songwriting on this. Gonna have to find out who to thank for the choregraphy. In the meantime, did you notice anything in the performance that I didn't touch on that you wated to discuss? How about screaming into the void with me? Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to day 2 already!

[jiminsass-istant]

This blog is literally for my brain noise. Do NOT take me too seriously. You can call me Jean.

About opinions on BTS Members, their personalities, behaviour etc-

I seriously believe that celebrity lives are not something we should have strong opinions on. We can just speculate but please LEAVE HUGE ROOM for doubt as we barely know 5% about what they are upto and what they are like IRL. Or even lesser. Also, I don't hate a celebrity unless they are actually convicted of a crime or say/do problematic things. Again, it's subjective what people will find problematic.

That being said, my biases are jm, suga, rm. Jhope for a while too.

First ever bias was agustd, jm wrecked.

Tae, jk, jin have never been in my bias line, but I appreciate the talent.

Genuinely just here for the music and to listen to them talking about music (Big music nerd). The only thing I take seriously are music and performances. Ships, personalities, fandom trends etc are all semi-serious stuff to me.

About kookmin/jikook:

This might be the usual answer- the exclusively soft and 'couple' like behaviour jkk have towards each other has me intrigued. It makes me mushy and puts me in the feels. Some people here genuinely believe they are dating, and they can think like that. I personally don't think of them like that. I simply do not feel like making such bold statements about 2 people I have only seen photos and videos of. To me, they are my comfort ship and of course I acknowledge they are the closest IRL. That's the best way I can put it. I literally don't care who they date irl, as that's none of my business. That being said, I do think they are more soulmates than vmin themselves. (Sorry vmin, i love you, but jkk superior as they LITERALLY CAN'T STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER, UGH)

PS:

1. I'm lowkey obsessed with Jimin. If my username didn't give that away. (Read "tugs at my heartstrings")

2. Everything I say here are just opinions or jokes, not facts. If it's serious for me, you'll know. Trust me, you'll know.

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

Hello! I just finished reading your analysis on the recent le sserafim documentary, and I just wanted to say how well written it was! It captured every thought I had about the situation while also expanding upon certain things I'd initially glazed over. You worded it so constructively as well, and I was in awe at how invested I'd gotten in it.

I agree with all of your statements, especially when you reiterated the point that this was very much so a polished publicity stunt on Source Music's part. Everything felt so orchestrated and honestly uncomfortable with the way they flaunted around the girls' personal lives and what not. As you said, a serious documentary like this for a 2-year group is alarming and strange. I understand that many people like this inside view of the struggles the group experiences, but when you realize it's all just a means of addressing the hate le sserafim has received, redirecting the attention from the company and the girls to the haters and fans alike, it's rather disturbing how le sserafim aren't taken into consideration in the slightest.

I also wholly agree with your final statement about idols performing nowadays. I see it so often with 4th gen and 5th gen idols, but I never knew how to really word it until you said it. Everything feels so fabricated and rehearsed, like they receive a prompt and perform it based on prior knowledge of how an idol would usually perform it. It feels like the passion and actual spirit involved in performances and music as a whole has been drained. It's sad and boring, both hearing a song depleted of any genuine drive as well as watching performances that blend together in one big tapestry of modern day kpop. It's startling seeing the contrast between the older generations that would do their choreography and sing while also still finding that connection with the audience and the song, versus newer kpop performances that go on stage on autopilot without any real passion.

Anyways, to wrap up a long winded message, I really enjoyed your statement and I really appreciate the time and effort you took to write it out! There's a lot of discourse circulating, most people either immediately defending the girls and the company or immediately hating both parties. Seeing a reasonable and constructive analysis that serves as that much needed gray area is so refreshing.

Thank you so much for reading all of it and for your praise!! It made me really happy! "You worded it so constructively as well, and I was in awe at how invested I'd gotten in it." This, in particular, made me very happy! Thank you for getting sucked into my commentary haha!

I agree a lot with what you said about Source Music redirecting the hate and attention the girls are getting towards the fans and media. I feel like they wanted kpop fans to be held accountable to what they did to the girls. Of course, we have to take responsibility, but so does Source Music. It's pretty childish for the company to point fingers at us. It reminded me of James Corden redirecting the hate he received for his comments about Army towards Army for (wrongly) sending him death threats. Getting hate is sadly unavoidable in this industry. It's easier for the company to change than society :/

I feel like kpop companies, including BTS's own company, looked at BTS's success and interpreted it all wrong. BP and SKZ being so famous is proof that people care less about flawless performances and more about personality, authenticity, and vulnerability, which BTS have in spades. BP aren't perfect performers at all and they're super famous. SKZ aren't dance monsters and they eat up every other non-BTS bg. Like SKZ, Ateez are loved for being self-produced and enjoying the stage. Twice are pretty different from these groups, but their songs are easy listening, fun, and they all have very different charms. They're sweet and personable, and people like them. Idols are striving to be perfect, but people want quality and authenticity, vulnerability, inconsistency. It makes groups a lot more exciting.

Thank you so so much for the ask!!! You worded it beautifully!

[ ☕️ ] fan video … faith dancer’s analysis

faith’s masterlist

note | thumbnail made by me

warning(s) / includes | n/a

a/n | posted based on this youtube series, i do not claim to have a dance history or degree (or whatever) so everything here is either a rephrased version of what the youtuber said in other videos or my way of showing a more in-depth detail on how i see faiths’ dancing

taglist | @lovely-sanie @skzfairies @skz-angel @still-astray @felixsbrat @smh-anon @alyszaen @alixnsuperstxr

intro

known for being the nation’s hidden gem, the member is consistently complimented on her dancing abilities 

the second longest training period in stray kids, of 4 years thought to be put in to the next jyp girl group, accommodated quickly to the hardcore and intense chores that only boy groups were know for at the time [clips of her on sixteen and stray kids survival show]

faith is part of vocalracha, but on many occasions has been given the chance to show her extensive dancing capabilities 

stray kids faith [faiths’ scars + case 143 fancam starts play on screen]

tutting

tutting is a style of dance that requires incredible body control, a skill i believe faith has mastered to the point i would put her in the top best body control in 4th maybe even kpop overall

isolations and body locks are also a buy product of faiths’ tutting skills, making for readable, accurate, and clear dance moves

and depending on the music, her body movements and dancing can come off as feminine and dainty or powerful and masculine

her understanding of isolation and body locks makes her appear taller and more masculine, making for cohesive performances with stray kids and any other male idols

fluidity

smooth and seamless execution of dance moves are again thanks to her extensive body control

[faiths’ easy + domino fancams start play on screen]

but also her completion of isolations, and body rolls are a good example

watch how both seungmin and faith execute the body roll in silent cry

[shows both seungmin and faith silent cry fancam side by side]

watch how the seungmin’s body roll stops at his stomach, making the movement look “broken” and choppy

while faith finished her body roll, hit all key points (chest, stomach, pelvis, and tailbone), and her hand glides along her body down to her thigh

putting her understanding of lines and fluidity to work, creating a fluid yet big movement

imploding

imploding is a form of explosive style, meaning the energy one has is compressed and contained inside the body, making a popping effect

imploding dance style means one needs muscles, so it’s not surprising to see this [shows a collage of faiths’ muscles]

however, faith’s imploding skills can be accounted to where she comes from

south africa, which as a rich history in many things, one known being the dance history

faith's most used dance style from south africa culture is pantsula, bhenga, and bujwa

[faiths’ charmer, wolfgang, double knot fancams start playing]

fast footwork, body control, fluidity, etc, and everything that is used in all forms of dance that faith uses in her dances and freestyle is used in these south african dances

outro

to end of where we began, how her home country affects her

not only as a dancer but also as a producer, being raised in a country in riched with extensive musical history

helped lay the groundwork for body control and fluidity, that many would train years for

combined with her physique and quick learning, proves why she should be known as the nation’s hidden gem

[…]

however her dancing is not only skill, her stage presence is eye-catching

even if she isn’t in the center stage still draws viewers' eyes cause of her aura alone

stray kids being noted as concept chameleons, faith is not exempted from the skill, pulling off covers like fancy by twice or bang, bang, bang by big bang

her rapping and singing skills help transition in many songs, meshing well with the other members

shows she is not just ‘the female member of stray kids’ and that stray kids are a well-oiled machine that works together, and each member is an important part that makes the group what it is
