[eunhos]

[mouseoho]

my gifs of the h1key mv are flopping harder than my gifs of all the teasers 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

[accio-victuuri]

i was too busy at work to see the news about GG but melon is we should be able to reserve it on the 9th and first batch will be released on the 12th! I am so excited!!!!!!!! especially for all the visuals. the album cover, the MV, the EVERYTHING! this is xz the designer. and we know xz studio is also ready for this!!!!!!!

but the cpf in me is scared and stressed.

wdym i will have ten songs to translate and analyze and possibly connect to cpns??????? will it be too hard to understand???? wdym we only heard one line from that video teaser before about “goodnight” and we had a solid cpn now we have 10 songs???? How??????

wdym i will have a whole ass MV probably more than one if he decides to have multiple lead singles to not enjoy but analyze like a freakin FBI agent???????

wdym i have an album cover or possibly 10 song covers to interpret???? one of them allegedly being inspired by an interesting soul????????? like— im freaking the fuck out. xz is not subtle so i’m terrified.

so yeah. i will try my best to be on top of things. i’m sure i won’t be able to sleep in the next couple of weeks waiting for the drops and everything in between. 😂😂😂😂😂

mikah @/himaswife Replying to @/IBGDRGN i was expecting a lot of things in 2024 but seeing G-Dragon tearing up in this teaser was not one of them...(i hope most of this is just them being silly otherwise i'm afraid it's over for me) but like ok after years of inactivity one of the first things posted to his channel after his comeback track is with her ?? something is cooking and it's probably them

GOLDEN HOUR 5/31 @/lightuptiny Replying to @/IBGDRGN that has to be the most unexpected video in k-pop history, what is going on 😭we make jokes that she knows almost 2 whole generations in the industry but now she's casually promoting Golden Hour Part 2 with G-DRAGON ??

에헴 비헴 에헴 @/ughtannnbang Replying to @/lightuptiny no because the best part is that she could know them through her brother but almost everyone said she just casually came up to them at music shows 🤧Imagine being THE Hwasa and this random girl that's only been in the industry for about a year casually strikes up a conversation with you-

왔다 갔다 @/yeosangiecookie Replying to @/IBGDRGN I might be delusional...but does that mean we have a new collab coming ? 👀 I know she denied it on Fromm but she also said 'Too Bad' right after...don't underestimate her ability to spoil she literally posted a picture to her Instagram with the same nails, makeup and lip chain that she wore in the MV and no one realized-

sweethwa @/weonfirewihomhae Replying to @/IBGDRGN Omg they're gonna do karaoke together! That teaser has so much in it that I have no idea what to prepare for; crying, singing, cooking, laughing, and them just being the cutest patooties (Can we take a second to appreciate those photos omg he definitely sees her as a baby 🥺)

Hotteokie N.1 @/yunhosbuckethat Replying to @/IBGDRGN Taemin immediately going on social media and reminding people that she's his protegee is taking me out 😭this man really said 'guys that's my daughter okay, I'm sure she doesn't even know these other idols that well'

[atiny-for-life]

Ateez's Full Storyline Explained - BONUS

Masterlist

WORK

Based on the GOLDEN HOUR Intro which was released prior to the first teasers and is all about Atiny and Ateez's journey thus far, plus the lack of storyline queues in the music video itself, I believe this is one of those instances where the MV simply falls outside the storyline, much like Turbulence and The Real

I believe this time, it's because they were invited to Coachella and simply didn't have as much time to prepare for the album and get access to the sets they'd need to tell the story visually the way they wanted to which is something I talked about more here

However, let's still dive in and dig up some easter eggs and other fun little moments strewn throughout the video so we can appreciate it better!

Kicking things off is "maknae on top" Jongho buried in the dirt, playing the flute (which sounds like a clarinet) while the others stand around him, four out of seven holding spades and shovels

And it's not just that they felt justified in burying him with extra holes for his hands so he could play the flute, they also felt the need to do it right outside a motel in the middle of the desert

Giving the meaning of this album, this starting from a dirt-hole in the dessert setting could be a reference to Pirate King and Treasure which were both shot in the dessert way back when

If that's the case, it'd also make the red car more meaningful since Yunho also had one during Wave

From here, we move on to a roadside diner/shack situation where our boys are working the counter, preparing counterfeit money burgers

Inside, we can see a bunch of Ateez's awards (bragging rights), including a MAMA award, the Billboard #1 plaque and more, with TYUdeongi and Mito (the two little plushs) front and center

Next up, we've got Seonghwa rolling into town on an ostrich, carrying the flags of some of the countries they visited during last year's world tour while Yunho, San, and Yeosang are counting their money and drinking around a table outside the motel

The next clips show us Yunho reading a burning newspaper with the headline proclaiming something along the lines of "Anonymous Philanthropists Change [...]", likely referencing all the money they've been handing out at their diner

The scene is accompanied by the lyrics "Breaking News popping up no matter where I go" which is very reminiscent of 'Matz'

Wooyoung's vibing outside with a Mariachi band and Flamenco dancers (don't ask me why... I guess they're having a Latin American phase right now - let's see if they end up fluent in Spanish or Portuguese some time soon)

Up in the mountains, we've got them mining for gold far away from any visible mining shafts, and singing about geese laying golden eggs in Spanish (giving Aesop's Fable), followed by a line about building towers 24/7 in Korean (giving Billionaires' Row in Manhattan) before San eats the gold nugget he'd been holding (the effects of eating gold are not well studied, please do not attempt at home)

Next, we've got Yeosang cutting out counterfeit money with a large pair of scissors (we're already struggling with inflation, put those scissors down) while singing about being an introvert

He's in the same office Yunho was in earlier when he was reading the burning newspaper (I'm glad the place didn't burn down)

Moving on, we've got Mingi in the parking lot dressed very Willy Wonka-esque (Gene Wilder version)

He's sporting two pins on his coat - one which looks like a painter's palette and the other looking like a cross, somewhat reminiscent of the Maltese Cross (shoutout to Malta, I feel like no one ever talks about you) or the Iron Cross (popular in early 20th century Prussia)

Everyone's partying, it's raining counterfeit money, we've got car hydraulics in the back (it's been 70 years, I didn't think these were still popular) and our Flamenco dancers are back before we cut to Jongho in his hole, and back to Seonghwa on his ostrich which is now joined by some very talented, head bobbing, CGI chickens

Moving on, we find Hongjoong dancing in another parking lot, surrounded by his members and some strangers on golden bikes, all wearing sunglasses

In the lyrics, he's referencing The Real which strongly matches the vibe they're going for in this sequence, both in terms of costumes and with the general setting

Within the same rap verse, we also see Hongjoong in first parking lot where Wonka-Mingi was kicking off the party earlier

Here, he's dancing with two kids in costume (a chicken and a wrestler), while looking super delighted, just all around happy to be here, much like the guy on the bike we can see in the back (it's very wholesome)

We briefly cut away to a shot of a lone massive golden egg stranded on a deserted hill surrounded by some dry shrubs. Keep it in mind. We'll come back to it later.

Back in the office, Yeosang's happy with his robot chicken (Brian) which seems to be capable of laying golden eggs, going by the tall stack of them presented on his desk

While Yeosang's hogging the office, Yunho's off in some basement, taking the term "money laundering" far too literally as he pulls a stack of bills from a washing machine

Seonghwa, once again on his ostrich, now enters a gas station where Wooyoung fills up the bird by inputting a fuel pump in its side. We can now definitively confirm that this alternate universe is weird as hell.

Moving on to a miniature city, we've got our two main rappers attacking a money-monster with some ray guns ( because, on this ship, we're anti-capitalism)

They're wearing fur coats to match the lyrics, which may also be a throwback to Say My Name

Returning to the diner, we've got Jongho building a money burger abomination with some added CDs because, clearly, that's his favorite breakfast

And over in the kitchen, we've got head chef Hongjoong cooking up some hellfire concoction which is literally on fire but he doesn't care - he's still just making a noot-noot face and giving us a straightforward reference to Bouncy by cutting in some more green chili peppers

Honorable mention to Mingi's GTA reference

From there, we get some shots of Ateez gathered around the camera (Don't Stop End Credits style), a short scene of Seonghwa in the hydraulic car, many people's favorite clip of half-topless San twisting a valve or something near some desert oil rigs, and more, before we finally move on to Jongho in front of a food truck

The truck seems to go hand-in-hand with Ateez's roadside dinner since it also offers their famed money burgers

Next, we've got Yunho and Yeosang carefully watching an extra large golden egg in their office

After a few more super quick scenes flash by, it begins to crack before we return to the lone massive golden egg in the desert we saw earlier which now busts open and out pops Seonghwa

There are some Korean folktales about men being born from eggs, all of them rulers which were used to keep the myth alive that kings were picked by a higher power, not born the conventional way - I assume that's what's being referenced here

Spy x Family CODE: White music video with new footage

As mentioned in my previous post, the ending song for the movie by Gen Hoshino was revealed in a new teaser, and just now a music video dropped of the song featuring a ton of new footage!

I feel like this scene is near the end of the movie, but gah, the wholesomeness ❤️ Loid, please tell me this is a continuous scene and you're actually looking at your girls like that 😭

Determined Yor.

Does WISE deliver messages by bird now?

Yor waving to Anya from the ferris wheel with such a look of love 😭

Anya's worried about her family breaking up!

Yor and Anya playing in their hotel room!

Yor waking up from being drunk I'm assuming.

Save Anya!

Everyone working together to steer the ship!

Link to the MV:

I can't believe this has all been officially released, lol. How much more of the movie can they show us in these promotional videos? 😂 (not that I'm complaining, lol)

❝ karma is coming ❞ — jjk

— SUMMARY: ❝After feeling used by you, Jungkook wants to bring some chaos in your boyfriend's life. Karma is coming and there's nothing Jungkook does better than revenge.❞

— PAIRING: punk!Jungkook x preppy!female reader

— TYPE: suggestive, slight dark | criminal!au

— WORD COUNT: 1,225

— WARNINGS: Past/Secret relationship, Cheating, Criminal!Jungkook, Curses, Argument, Jungkook has a gang, Slight!Toxic Relationship, Open ending, Jungkook wants revenge (but never hurting you), Yoongi is Jungkook's best friend, Mentioned Jack Harlow, Reader is a preppy girl and dates a rich boy (maybe a relationship of convenience)

— NOTES: HEEEEYYY who wants a scenario inspired by the "3D" MV teaser?

— RELEASE DATE: September 28, 2023

— CROSSPOSTING: ao3

"So tell me, little princess.... what I needa do to have one more chance with you?" Jungkook walked at you the moment your feet turned the street corner and you were forced to pass by the dubious quality restaurant.

Like every Friday afternoon, at the same time, Jungkook came to you with his typical bunny smile and sparkling eyes. An expression so cute and for a few seconds it made you forget the big problem behind it.

The perfect mask to disguise a messy and broken soul.

"Jungkook… I'm late." You warned, trying to walk faster to avoid him, but failing miserably when your high heels started to hurt your feet.

Ignoring the boy who competed with him in an amateur chess match, Jungkook got up from the low-budget chair and reached you at almost the speed of light.

You wanted cursing not only your high heels that hurt every inch of your feet, but you also wanted punching Jungkook in his face for his persistence on coming closer to and for daring to look down at your entire body.

"You look really hot today." He smirked, his impure thoughts very clear while his eyes darkened and he ran his tongue between his own lips. "Hotter than ever."

The same compliments as always. The same character flaw and red flags.

"You've been more creative." You rolled your eyes, allowing yourself pausing your walk to avoid any more pain in your skin. If your quick mental calculation was right, you would still have a few minutes to rest when you got home.

"I'm sorry, little princess. But I guess this isn't a good time to say that I wanna see your ass in motion, riding my dick like a 3D video." Jungkook pointed behind him, where his blond and curly-haired friend was watching us with a curiosity and fun mix. "You know… not around Jack at least."

You just rolled your eyes again, trying your best to not be rude and give Jack your middle finger or getting arrested for hitting Jungkook's nose.

As if he was thinking about something, Jungkook poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue, nibbling his side piercing in his mouth right after. You saw a flash of sadness pass across the boy's face and you ended up giving into slight worry.

Even though you shouldn't.

"Are you okay?"

His dark eyes lit up again and a regret hit you hard when you saw his dirty smirk return.

"Wow! That's the first time my little princess has worried about me since we broke up."

"I'm not your little princess. And we're not broke up." You snorted and crossed your arms, deciding to walk and do it faster than the Korean man in the black sweatshirt and white stripes. An impossible task since Jungkook would be able to catch up to you immediately even if you were trying hard running away from him.

Jungkook chuckled when he noticed your efforts to free yourself from that talk and from his pathetic praises.

"So we're still together?"

"We never even dated. To be honest I just needed something new since my relationship was boring."

Another scoff left Jungkook's lips and you knew you reached very dangerous ground. When it came to his pride, Jungkook could be a little shit. Hitting his inflated ego was as damaging and dumb like hitting your head against a wall a hundred times.

It was like picking a fight with the Devil and then begging for forgiveness and mercy.

But fate was in his favor. Jungkook would never physically hurt you. Even if his life depended on it.

"So you used me to satisfy your horny that your rich shitty boyfriend wasn't interested?" He stopped walking and you imitated him, shocked not only by his bitter words but also by the hurt following it. "I was just a distraction for a preppy girl with a dick-starved little pussy? Just because her boyfriend was on vacation?"

Your eyes widened and your hands itched to tear out Jungkook's eyes, who was now looking at you with the angrier face possible. His eyebrows furrowed into a frown so deadly it made you feel tiny.

"FUCK YOU! You knew everything from the beginning." You shouted not caring about the people around the street who were entertained by the situation unfolding.

"I thought we'd at least keep fucking around. BUT GUESS WHAT?" It was his turn to shouts. "You seem a lot more interested in being a cockslut and just use your pussy in exchange for expensive gifts from that rich bastard guy."

"At least he has a company that makes a lot of money. And you? You're nothing more than a punk boy who leads your useless life stealing people and picking fights with other gangs out there." You pointed your index finger at him as you shouted the insults pained in your stomach. "I'd rather be a cockslut to someone who has something to provide me with than having a relationship with a man who could be arrested at any moment. You're just a futureless criminal."

No caring about an answer, you gathered all your body efforts and following on your way. Jungkook didn't join you to continue the swearing match and you were relieved for that. You were no longer in the argue mood. You just wanted to get home and cry because of your anger.

It didn't take long for Jungkook returned to the chair where he was sitting before. To his surprise, Jack wasn't sitting there anymore, the place now being used by one of his other friends.

Yoongi had a freshly put out cigarette still in his mouth and a thoughtful look. Jungkook knew his best friend as well as the back of his own hand. That look just would mean one thing; quick reflections.

"What's your great idea?" Jungkook asked him, without beating around the bush due to his bad mood about the previous talk with you.

Chuckled with the cigarette stuck in his teeth, Yoongi used his left hand to brush away his dark hair falling on his face while pulling out his cell with the others free fingers. Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows when the long-haired boy showed him the talk content on the screen. Reading some messages, Jungkook saw that the other boys in his gang also looked interested in Yoongi and Jack's sudden plans.

A wicked smirk took over Jungkook and everything made more sense. Jack's sudden departure to get his van, Yoongi's arrival and even the older man's thoughtful look.

Jungkook felt a heat rise up his back almost immediately. His excitement and enthusiasm for the coming chaos increased the temperature of the sunny street even more. Without blinking, he ripped off the sweatshirt covering his torso, the black tank top underneath it allowing his tattooed arm drawn glances from the girls walking through the neighborhood.

Ignoring the other people's whispers, Jungkook turned to Yoongi with a "thirst for revenge" look. His pretty face doesn't justice to the darkness in his wicked eyes.

"Well… we needa stop at my house first to get my hammer and call (Y/N). I think she'll like to know about our friendly visit to her boyfriend's company."

Yoongi nodded, chuckling and patting Jungkook's shoulder twice. "That's it, little boy. Tell her karma is coming."

December 18, 2024 -

Jk gives live! He tells us he’s in his new home, specifically basement level 2, and then gives a brief tour of the very chic karaoke room (which makes me want to see the rest of the house because I love the design of this room). Spotted on the couch is Taekook’s Hello Kitty plushie.

Timestamp 12:50

Each Hello Kitty has different coloring patterns, so in comparing past photos of the plushie with this live, it’s clear it’s the same plushie. Here’s an example of two, side by side (CTTO) so you can see for yourself the differences:

I can’t help but think Jk intentionally placed the plushie in his live to make a point, given the style of the room and how obvious the plushie stands out, but of course this is my opinion and you should decide for yourself. Past times with the HK plushie- 

Naturally, Jk gets a flood of requests for songs, some related to other members' work. He hums fragments of songs, and also sings to viewers. While on his phone, he lets watchers know he’s writing down requests so that he can listen to them (and it can be presumed, return to sing them during another live). 

Timestamp 33:48

A request comes in for one of Tae’s newest songs “Winter Ahead” featuring Park Hyoshin. 

Timestamp 35:27 

Upon hearing the request, Jk begins humming the song. It’s noteworthy that he mentioned needing to listen to songs and circle back (to sing them), but he’s caught up with Tae’s latest work (this song, in particular, was released on November 28, 2024), despite being in the military at this time. He hums, then playfully sings in the melody of “Winter Ahead” that he doesn’t know all of the lyrics, before humming more of it. He shares he’s heard the song a lot (again, very significant and indicative of closeness since he’s in service).

Timestamp 35:33  https://x.com/ging_kth/status/1869401879018713179?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg https://x.com/tcnckclnsmaek/status/1869406449941758146?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg 

For a split second, he hums “Winter Ahead” before pausing to chat back to comments. 

Timestamp 36:15

A request comes in for “One Man” by Kim Jong-kook. Jk mentions wanting to work out with him because he has body goals that he can’t do alone.

Timestamp 40:46

Tae had recently worked out with him back in September 2024 - 

https://www.instagram.com/p/DAUgdwyyBkL/?igsh=dmMweHZ6bmR0eThy https://x.com/mybwits/status/1845468951494742500?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg 

Jk expresses his frustrations again that he isn’t familiar with a lot of the songs being requested.

Timestamp 55:15

After lamenting this, he quietly but immediately searches for his next song, before saying, “Here it is.” Tae’s “Winter Ahead” begins to play. In another instance of their closeness and bond, Jk shares that Tae showed him the teaser of the MV. He then praises Tae’s visuals for the umpteenth time (bless his heart), saying, “the beauty of the visuals” with a shake of his head, finishing with an audible “ahhh” sounding sigh. Naturally, Hybe omitted the full translation when translating this part. Jk sings parts of the song and then hums it once he turns the song off. 

Translation (which wasn’t fully included in the live) - 

Video clip can be viewed here - https://x.com/yourstrulytkk/status/1869411115500970170?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg Timestamp 55:52 Long version - https://x.com/ging_kth/status/1869408506996285695?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg  https://x.com/taehyvngpics/status/1869407741166731637?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg 

Another instance of closeness is the familiarity Jk has with Tae’s friend who collaborated with him on “Winter Ahead,” Park Hyongshin. Jk says he thinks about his vocals a lot in the military, before proceeding to familiarly call Hyoshin “hyung.” He shares that he has Hyoshin’s phone number, and that he’ll contact him before he’s discharged to practice singing together. He tells Hyoshin to call him before correcting himself and saying he’ll call (instead), ending the comment with a big, open mouthed smile and chuckle. 

Timestamp 59:35 

Translation - 

Tae and Hyoshin were special host DJs on MBC Radio, Kim Ena’s Starry Night back in September 2022. 

Day 1 recap:  https://www.tumblr.com/taekooktimeline2022/696648278674112512/tae-is-a-special-host-dj-on-mbc-radio-kim-eanas 

Day 2 recap: https://www.tumblr.com/taekooktimeline2022/696688823701307392/tae-is-on-mbc-radio-kim-eanas-starry-night-with

And in March 2023, Tae and Jungkook went to the theater with Wooga members Park Seojoon and Park Hyungsik to see the musical “Beethoven Secret”, which starred Hyoshin. Recap - https://www.tumblr.com/taekooktimeline2023/711683048635236352 

Jk mentions “Winter Ahead” again and promises to come back with it if he gets to practice it.

Timestamp 1:48:50

Jk hums IU’s “Love Wins All.” While it may be dismissed by some since he hummed fragments of songs throughout the live, and it could be argued a request came through for this song in the comments that prompted him to hum it, I wanted to archive this particular moment since Tae starred in the MV. Decide as you like. 

Timestamp 1:50:40 https://x.com/vkookmyfamily/status/1869515868671283336?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg 

Jk habitually copies Tae’s mannerisms as he signs off on his live.

♫ the girls were shocked with the amount of love that the mini album received.

♫ clad in gorgeous dresses the performances and dances were more flowy and hand movement heavy rather that the other way.

♫ the outfits for 'freaky' were not what fans were expecting so that was a shocker.

♫ the girls released a self shot and edited short film for the song 'why do you?' it was mainly posted as a joke but garnered more views than any of their official mv's.

♫ speaking of mv's the mv for 'girls' is said to be one of the most widely acclaimed horror mv in all of kpop where as 'freaky' was more basic and a way to please casual fans.

♫ Minsu received a lot of attention this era for her looks

♫ lots of talks about partiality amongst the fans in terms of how suyin's outfits were always different in some way or form.

♫ yuvi participated in the producing for the first time under the name of 'LIV' and it was very well received.

─── • ✎ INSIDER NOTES

✎ despite reports and fans saying that the album was rushed it was actually very well planned right from the sudden release of pre release singles to the announcement of the album on ficfest every thing was well thought of. making use of the pre existing tensions and using it to boost sales.

✎ there was a lot of tensions between the girls in the studio some of which may have led to fights.

✎ the name change was a way to separate them from hybe completely and bring some difference from glasshouse.

☻ ₊ ⊹ THE DOWNFALL OF 2LUVU

2LUVU (often shortened to 2LU, which, let’s be honest, is weird and kinda stupid since the name wasn’t exactly long to begin with) was JYP Entertainment’s first and last attempt at a coed group, currently inactive and disbanded. The lineup consisted on four members (two boys and two girls): Liv, Hanse, Jules, and Junseo. 2LUVU made their debut on March 12, 2018, with the EP ACTION!, which, unfortunately, flopped hard due to JYP’s half-hearted promotion efforts.

The EP was promoted for the sad amount of three weeks, including the pre-release period in which JYP posted a couple of photos of each member and called it a day. The MV teaser dropped only three days before the actual release, leaving no time for barely any hype to build up around the group’s debut. Once the EP was out, 2LUVU only performed the title track U READY? four times. Surprise, surprise! They didn’t get any wins because who were they, anyways? No one knew! They came out of nowhere so no one was expecting them. On top of all the lack of promotion, a lot was going on in the industry at the moment. Just to name some names, KRUSH and STUPID CUPID happened to be promoting around the same time, which banished any remaining hope the group had at getting any win at all. If the effect these groups had wasn’t negative enough for 2LUVU, the VENUS debuted only five days later, completely overshadowing them and their silly little song. Let’s just say, JYP wasn’t the brightest when deciding on the group’s debut date.

Following their debut, 2LUVU remained silent for almost a year. This made the few fans the group had gathered completely forget about them. Honestly, with JYP in charge, the group was doomed from the start, but leaving them without any new music for a whole year? Even their small fanbase was losing their minds! Rumor has it that JYP had bigger, more successful groups to focus on, so they just sidelined 2LUVU after their flop of a debut. I guess, at some point, someone remembered the group existed and that they hadn’t had a single comeback. So, they got a second chance in February 2019, though this time with a way smaller budget but slightly better promotions. Their digital single XOXO did better than ACTION!, but it still wasn’t enough to cover all the costs. JYP ended up disbanding the group and pretending they never existed in the first place. I mean it! No one in the company talks about them and, when being asked about their time in 2LUVU, the former members always avoid the question. Expect for Junseo, I guess. He likes to point out how awful his time in the group was and how much he despised their concept and discography.

☹ ₊ ⊹ THE MEMBERS + WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

(FROM LEFT TO RIGHT)

🙂 KANG OLIVIA ‘LIV’, 1999 ₊ ⊹ After 2LUVU’s disbandment, Liv became a trainee once again. She trained for a around a year before being sent to Mnet’s Once Upon a Dream, where she ranked 3rd and got to redebut. She’s now an active member of IDOL MAKER’s EVERMORE as the group’s main vocalist and visual princess.

🍓 CHOI HANSE, 2002 ₊ ⊹ Hanse’s contract was bought by IDOL MAKER right away, but he’s still in the company’s basement ever since! His fans continuously beg for his redebut on twitter, but so far IDOL MAKER has turn a deaf ear to their pleas.

🦋 JULIANA ‘JULES’ SANTOS, 2002 ₊ ⊹ Jules is now one of the famous Pick Me dolls! After 2LUVU disbanded, Jules was sent to Girls Planet 999, where she didn’t make the cut to debut with Kep1er. But then her contract was bought by Heartbreak and she’s finally got the success she always deserved.

🌈 LEE JUNSEO, 2000 ₊ ⊹ Junseo, now going by the stage name JUNO, is a soloist under IDOL MAKER. He redebuted on 2020, only a year after 2LUVU’s disbandment. Even though his redebut was a total success thanks to IDOL MAKER’s management, he’s initial fame has been declining lately. You could say people has grown tired of his music!

thanks to @venusvity, @stcpidcupid and @urmykrushhh for giving me permission to mention their amazing ocs <3 love you lots!

Jikook Week 31 Complete (09/07 -16/07/2024)

Their thirty first week in the military is now complete and time to celebrate this milestone with a look back at this week in 2023.

09/07/23 was ARMY Day and BTS released this photo to celebrate.

They also released Beyond the Story their 10 year anniversary book. It gave us some precious insights into how Jimin and JK's 2017 Tokyo trip came about and how Jikook treasure the memories of that trip.

It seems appropriate that we are remembering their Tokyo trip this week, when the release of Are You Sure?, which follows their 2023 travels together, has been announced. Those travels began this week in 2023 when Jungkook and then Jimin travelled to the US on 12/07 and 13/07 and were spotted together at a restaurant in New York City the same night that Jimin arrived.

It only took them six years to be able to travel simply and freely again but the mental health benefits of that travel were obvious in their pre-enlistment lives and in the content they have left for us while they complete their military service.

The big news this week though was the release of Seven.

There was a whole host of teasers for the release throughout the week sending everyone into a frenzy of speculation about the song.

The MV teaser came out on 12/07 and the MV finally landed on 14/07 and had everyone scrambling as it became clear that JK was making serious moves to ditch the maknae cutie persona and become the new king of pop with enthusiastic and wholehearted support from Hybe and his Seven collaborators.

He appeared on Good Morning America on the same day contending with bad weather, a nasty cold and limited sleep the night before. He was determined to give his best for all the fans that turned up to see him and that is exactly what he did.

After the GMA, he also came live briefly to celebrate Seven's release and teased the fact that he was off to shoot what we now know as "Are You Sure?".

You have to admire him. The promo schedule that he had between the end of June and the end of November 2023 was insane. Non-stop and super intense, he kept himself going with periodic IVs and vitamin supplements. No wonder Jimin was concerned about him.

With the benefit of hindsight, however, we know he achieved what he set out to do and that the release of Seven one year ago this week was only the beginning of his Golden era.

JK the crowned 👑 spoiler king

cr./to the creators of the media used in this post.

Touched on this a little yesterday here:

He really is.

The king of spoilers.

And he seems to also be the gift that keeps on giving too, lol. The layers upon layers of his spoilers are being revealed to us slowly but surely. Can't wait to see if he has more in store for us.

So, what did he give us so far?

JK playing JVKE's Golden Hour, showing us the JM tattoo (lest us forget closing with "your the love of my life").

Next we have him telling us:

🐰 I want to be a bartender. I think it's going to be fun.

Next he does the butterfly out of nowhere with his hair tie.

Did I mention him coming back for live no. 4 on white day, half an hour before SMF pt. 2 teaser was landing to tell us to look forward to it?

And finally, well, for now that we know of that is, we have his cooking live with a pre-prepared guitar to play Letter for us. JK, not the one that did the guitar playing for the song, made the effort of learning the cords and playing it for us just before the album and the hidden track, a song that he took part in, landed.

He keeps on doing this, JK.

But not with any of the other members.

So, JM spoiler king will be the more accurate description in his case.

Funny how JK keeps doing this with the one member big chunks of this fandom think he's no longer close with. All while he is radio silent about the others.

What was it that JK told us in the past?

Well, obviously there has been a lot of concentration going on with these spoilers...

None of the other members received this treatment from JK, not even Hobi, whom JK is undeniably super close with.

JK will dance and laugh and tease the others after their releases, but no spoilers were given, and especially no lives just sitting and watching said members songs, shows, compilations just for the sake of that alone. Fully entranced. Unwilling to even look at and totally uninterested in the comments during said live.

Only JM.

And I'll raise you another one.

JK knows.

These spoilers come out of knowledge.

JK knows JM's songs, JM's projects, JM's choreos, JM's MVs before we do.

And you'd say, "well, they are part of the band, no?" But you see, first of all JM being super busy preparing for his first solo album release wouldn't be in touch with them all on a daily basis and definitely not in a manner that they all know the comings and goings of his projects/songs/choreos/MVs. For example, Yoongi didn't even know about Letter.

So yeah, JK knew and knows all these details, down to SMF pt. 2 choreo, down to the set of Like crazy MV and JM's bartending duties there. All before it landed. All before we knew.

To sum it up with a nice little bow:

TKKs are right. Ex Jikookers are right. Those two, most definitely drifted apart, have zero to do with each other, don't even like each other anymore. So much so they can't stand to be next to each other, in each other's presence nor talk to each other. JK's supposed vocals on Letter are AI, it's all a big fat lie they came up with to placate the Jikookers that were rioting in the streets. And hugging, eww, totally out of the question. No hugging allowed. If they communicate it's through Tae, JK's new boyfie. Cause Tae, he gone and dumped Jenni's skinny ass the second JK became available.

Hell nah!!!

But because I already went there, talk about changing the subject, lol, I was sent this clip today from my daughter:

This:

People, there you have it.

NCT 2023’s ‘Golden Age’: A Mesmerizing and Full of Hope Piece of Art.

NCT 2023’s Golden Age is always my favorite song of them since I discovered this group around late 2023. I’m personally not a huge fan of Kpop, however, this track is very captivating in my opinion. So I started to listen to Kpop more often, especially NCT’s tracks. Using the sample of Beethoven’s Pathetique, this amazing whole package of art was produced by a producer team based in South Korea, Artiffect. This combination of classic composition with modern electronic and rap tunes is really captivating since they blend nicely and are not sound overlapped. ‘Golden Age’, in the song explains about how the members have been working hard and achieved their golden era by getting so many attentions and awards in music shows. It’s pretty much about their fight against fear and hard times during their struggling moments.

Expected as a ballad song by some listeners who already watched the teaser, it turned out way different than what they think. Opened with soft piano playing, followed by Doyoung’s adlibs, people thought it would be some kind of sad and calm type of song. But, then, Mark’s rap appeared with heavy beat which shocked those listeners at the first time they were listening to the full song at the same time. However, the beat turns into soft and tender with piano and string sounds. Xiaojun led the pre-chorus with gentle voice and a little falsetto technique singing. The beat jumped into more energetic rhythm as Haechan started to fill the chorus line. When the main tunes come, people finally understand the progression of the song.

Involving 20 members at that time, this track is full of taste and color since the members have their own style in completing this piece of art. The MV also has good concept, which represent the achievement of the struggle era of the members by showing a chair being burned by fire, members picking up their keys as a symbol of key of the path they have chosen. However, this MV has been rated as PG-13, since it contains burning fire in the middle of the video. This video is pretty much soft, delicate, yet strong at the same time. SM Entertainment management really calculated every detail of the song and the MV. NCT’s visual card also help so much on the aesthetic visualization of the video. SM is really good at scouting and auditioning best members to be part of NCT.

Working together as a team of NCT from all units, the members were cooperative and understand the portion of their work when making this project. Even though every member has little part of line, they shown the best work they have done. Combining so many type of voice became a challenge for the composer and music producers. But the good thing is that the composer and producers are highly experienced in their work realm, especially that they are SM’s composer and producers. Even when the song is sampled by one of the best classic composition, it still has NCT’s music color, which is experimental and explorative. This one is a great job of the members, composer, producers, and the lyricist. I expect to listen to their new full team releases which will be as good as ‘Golden Age’. I must take my hat off for Artiffect for making such a beautiful and energetic song for one of my favorite Kpop group, NCT.
