i can’t believe it’s taken me over a month to post this but OH. MY. GOD. so i went to legacy’s festival last june and saw the lgc boys’ performance and BOY was i impressed!!!!! especially by dowon (or i guess domi now) like wow. he was just so confident and cool and charismatic; he honestly blew me away, which is so weird considering he seemed so shy and skittish on future dreams? he’s just so cute in every single way, and i couldn’t be happier about him debuting. i wasn’t gonna follow the lgc boys originally, but guess who just found their newest bias 🥰

[ + / - ] i saw their performance too, i can honestly agree that he’s improved SO much. on future dreams, he used to be so nervous all the time, but after seeing him in person, he really exudes that idol aura TT i couldn’t be more proud [ + / - ] y’all are just stating the obvious.....of COURSE he’s improved duh like everyone has? isn’t that the whole point of being a trainee? why are you guys praising him for working hard when clearly everyone else does too??? he’s not special ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [ + / - ] his basics and foundations and stuff have gotten better, but overall, i feel like he’s still really bland? i don’t know why lgc promotes him so much, he’s pretty unremarkable compared to the rest

                                          a scene with @lgcdominique

it's a fine day of april, a really fine day to be having a second photoshoot for adidas. she cannot pretend she wouldn't been disappointed if they hadn't offered to have her (and dominique) again as the faces for their next ads. their first photoshoot had looked nice and they make a great pair. plus, she needs this. more than anything, she needs the exposure and the recognition that comes with it. the more her face is out there, the closer she gets to her goal. her o so ambitious goal.

her eyes are glued on the screen as she watches the photos of dowon the photographer is currently taking. she remembers just how nervous he had been the first time. they've both gained more experience since then. has it only been 2 months? when the director calls for a break, miso joins dowon and claps with a smile. "you looked very good." she compliments him. "i'm sure they will be very happy with what they got there." she adds. "i could swear you grew more confident since last time." she raises an eyebrow, teasing.

bloom

@lgcdominique​ ;; bloom ( like the blossoms you are ) 

there’s crushes, there’s exes, relationships, and then there’s his best friend. being around domi or getting text messages from the other boy was probably second nature at this point, from when they met and then on. that wasn’t to say it was always easy peasy, it took time to get here and hyunjin is forever thankful that they got past the hurdles. even if it isn’t hurdles against eachother, obstacles such as getting through future dreams. maybe he gained a few grays here or there ( kidding ), but who’s counting anymore? hyunjin sits, hands on his cheeks, smushing his face to make it even more babylike, and he sighs, his shoulders sagging.

there was that point where he was so down on himself, and hyunjin thinks he’s in the clear. there might be glimpses of doubt that still glimmer through, but he’s no longer in that negative headspace that his closest friends had to tolerate him in. he wonders how long it has been, a year maybe? too long. “you know, domi. i just want to thank you for sticking by me. even though i have been very annoying, and so negative. you never fail to bring me back up and it has to be said. even though you probably don’t want to hear it.” dramatic isn’t he? “so, thank you.” he says seriously, grasping at dominique’s hands, dramatically. “i can see the light now. is this how rapunzel felt?” he asks, tone changing almost comically at the end.

BATTLE OF KINGS ♚ EP. IV

GUEST: @lgcdominique

"today's challenger is a senior trainee and has been on future dreams this season! he's got a really nice voice, speaks fluent french and... well i'll stop here otherwise you guys will dump me for him!" he laughs, and gestures towards the door where domi is supposed to enter from. "please welcome yoon dowon!" he claps with a warm smile, because how can you not dislike this boy? even if you try, that's just impossible.

"really glad to have you here today! hope you're ready to play some games? and trust me, after three episodes done i can tell you they'll come up with anything." his mind trails back to the mess that was his episode with seojin, with the girl group choreo challenge, the punching machine... what new thing have fans thought about? "but before we get into it, i'll let you introduce yourself."

and once that formalities are out of the way, they turn to the challenge board for today. "first challenge is... tongue twisters? are you any good at them, should i be worried? because i'm definitely losing this."

[  LGC TRAINEES PRESENTS LEGACY’S GOING LIVE ]

Join our trainees OKAMOTO AKIRA and YOON DOWOON live.

[lgcrp]

hey, legacy! i have a question for very scientific purposes, would you rather see iz*one's sakura, nct's yuta, pentagon's jinho or stray kids' han on the dash? please help an indecisive dumb dumb out! thank you!

well, seeing those choices, i don’t blame you one bit on your indecisiveness. i’m personally biased towards having another pentagon fc join the group *coughs* ( and also since i rarely see jinho getting used ) but i’ll have the other members chime in as well ! i’m sure any of them will be loved and adored here.

♤ the adidas duo

                                         && @lgcdominique

the future is looking bright, and so is miso's mood today. a cf! who would've thought shamelessly using a product on a show could land her an adidas cf? lesson learned. she knows a couple other trainees are supposed to have solo filming, but she has a partner. one partner is fine. it's fine because it's dowon too. she might be fine waking up in the morning, it doesn't mean that she's so talkative right after getting out of bed, so she hasn't gotten to talk to him much. and as soon as they got to the filming location, both had to get their hair and makeup done and change into their first set of clothes. she doesn't know how dowon feels, but she knows she's excited. she knows she's going to thrive. this is where she belongs. "this is going to be so fun!" she exclaims next to dominique. "right?" that's the part he's supposed to agree with her and be as enthusiastic.

Pitching

PITCHING: How much (or how little) of yourself are you willing to share with your future fans? 

“there’s honestly so many…” he sighs, bringing a hand up to rub at his arm awkwardly. “ever since i joined the company i’ve been feeling a lot of that… ah, what’s it called… imposter syndrome? i worry that no matter how much i try, i will never reach the standards that are needed to debut and i’ll be left behind… there are so many more trainees who are a lot more impressive than i am, after all.” he shrugs, as if he were trying to act aloof to avoid showing how deep these apprehensions truly ran.

“and then, if i were to debut…  what will happen then?” he pauses, looking off to a side to contemplate. “debut isn’t a guarantee of success, right? so what happens if i did end up debuting and the group fails and leaving everything i knew back in china to come here ends up in vain? but then, on the flipside, i worry that even if the group did do well, i will never be able to reach the level of being a performer who can wow the audience every time they step on stage. these are things that run through my mind often, even if i don’t want them to.”

Basketball

———- lgc sports meme “what do you find hardest when it comes to working in a team?”

     “if the person who chooses to be team leader, or volunteers to be team leader, is incompetent,” jiho answers immediately, thinking mostly about working in groups for projects at school. “or if any member of the team is incompetent—it makes things really difficult.” there’s a pause as he thinks about debuting with a member that’s useless, but he doesn’t think anyone really falls under that category. not that he knows of at least. “i think, as long as we all respect each other and can get along on the surface level, and as long as we all are working towards the same goal? it’s okay. it’ll work out.”

challenge accepted

@lgcdominique

as soon as sejin’s eyes landed on the food being cooked, his one dominating thought was -- ‘all you can eat? challenge accepted’. this impulsive decision did come with a number of pitfalls, including the fact that the staff and coaches were sitting nearby and at anytime, they could realise he was stuffing multiple pieces of food into his mouth at once, barely chewing and going for more. the game plan was to get as much as possible into his stomach before his stomach realised.

this had been going well until he burned the roof of his mouth, recoiling away from the food and the table, with a cup in hand and every intention to find water to soothe it. his urgency increased by the fact that he swallowed down the piece of meat in his panic, rather than give it up, and could feel the searing heat make its way down his throat too. sejin’s eyes watering, his mouth hanging open, trying to cool the burn with air and his feet anxiously moving across the floor. the water was insight, and there was someone else already there. he barely took them in before he was shoving his cup in first, knocking the other persons out of the way.

no apology was given, rather, sejin filled the cup as quick as he could and brought it to his lips. splatters of water on the floor, down the front of his shirt, and none of this mattered to him (not like it would have in a normal situation either). only the sweet relief of the cool water easing it’s way down his throat and taking away the sting was on his mind. sejin sighing out in relief, swallowing down the leftover water in his mouth and for the first time, looking at who he cut in front of. a lopsided smile on his lips. “the meat is really good here, right?”

if you could send your self five years in the future a letter, what would you write in it? how would you encourage yourself to keep going still?

𝔥𝔬𝔫𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔶 𝔥𝔬𝔲𝔯

this gives him a moment to think, especially on his behaviour lately. it’s not what he wants to write to the future him for five years ahead. if he doesn’t want his future self to remember this, why does he have these negative thoughts linger in his mind listlessly every single day in the present, and if it bothers him now, he probably has to shift his mindset. easier said than done, but perhaps this is a start. 

“i… would… tell myself that i am doing well. even though i’ve been a trainee for 3.5 years, i am still young, and i’ve got many years ahead of me. hopefully not a trainee, and hopefully debuted in 5 years, but even if not, maybe i’ll be the best senior trainee even if i am the oldest remaining trainee….” he stifles a small smile, biting at his lip. theoretical situations can be hard to stomach too. saying out aloud what’s been bothering him… this. hyunjin’s not sure if it helps. “i’d remind myself that injuries are bouncing back nicely now while i am young, but to be kind to my body. because if you don’t service it, everything else will fall apart. and sleep more. try to at least. graduation is around the corner,” two terms remaining wasn’t too bad in the grand span of things. “i’ll have more free time than i know what to do with. hopefully i will still be in a happy place. stay out of trouble. stay out of the drugs, gambling, all that bad stuff. don’t fall into a trap. don’t go down that road…” he trails off, corners of his mouth upturning a tad more. 

“be true to myself. don’t look back with regret? i’ll find what i am meant to do?” yes, he feels more uplifted. “i’d probably still add in that i’m in the dumps right now, but that means i should use to fuel myself for better things rather than festering in it. i guess i should do well to remember this.”

what sparked your interest in photography? is there a photo you've taken yourself that is particularly dear to you?

honesty hour | not accepting

“Actually, it was passed onto me by my mother. One of her brothers gave her a camera as a wedding present and she took a lot of photos of us. Those photos ended up becoming precious memories.” 

[lgckiyoung]

what was the one moment in life where you wished you could be easily noticed the most? and when were you glad that your presence seemingly escapes most people?

HONESTY HOUR // accepting !!

he… didn’t expect this one.

actually, he didn’t think people would ask about something like this. kiyoung is self-aware enough to know he has little to no appeal when it comes to interactions in daily life. why would anyone be interested in someone they don’t even notice?

“when i’m feeling lonely,” he rubs his nose with a finger. “ironically, the only time people would notice me is on my birthday–or at least the closest ones that remembers it.”

as for the opposite… “when i’m stuck in an uncomfortable conversation, i just slip away the moment they’re distracted by something else. it saves a lot of time and energy when you need to spread yourself out thin.”

[lgcsoobin]

which songs by other artists do you wish you could've written? where do you find musical inspiration?

HONESTY HOUR // ACCEPTING

“I think it’s hard to pick one song in particular that I would have wanted to be the creator of. As a producer my songs have a special meaning to me so I don’t think I would want to say that ‘this song I wish I could have written’ because it’s just not my song. I’m not so entitled that I don’t want to have written like any song ever that has become a hit though, that’s the big dream for us after all! The producers don’t get the same recognition as the idol does, but I think I would be incredibly proud knowing that a song I made was on the top of the lists and watching people coo over the idols and bop along to it because I knew that it was my creation.

“As for musical inspiration I guess love is always a good one. I don’t think I’ve ever been in love myself, but even I know the feeling of having looked at someone and been like whoa what a beautiful person, I wonder if I could get to know them better. So I guess sort of innocent love and infatuation maybe? Other than that I like looking at other people and try interpreting their stories. If you really pay attention then everyone around you has a story to tell and it’s really interesting. I always try not to be too mainstream though in my melodies and in my lyrics… it’s nice to do something different so not everything is the same.”
