please don’t by k.will did more for the gays back in 2012 than any boy group can possibly do with fan service and crop tops in 2024
#do young kpoppies know about please don’t by k.will. im serious do they know#I think about it a lot#it’s impossible to replicate the feeling of being gay and watching that mv in the 2010s and just getting bodyslammed by the ending.#like he really just dropped that shit in TWENTY TWELVE#kibumblabs#to this day I think that’s the most explicitly gay mv ive seen in kpop by an established artist#(ie not holland. no shade to him but he kinda built his platform on being an openly gay artist and he’s not a big industry name or anything#which makes the impact significantly different. if that makes sense. anyway.)#like think about any other example. almost all of them can be brushed off as fan service or are at least vague enough to be#up for interpretation#please don’t’s ending is nearly fucking impossible to write off as anything but explicitly gay#no fanservice involved. no vague staring in each other’s eyes. just straight up Oh He’s Not Jealous Of His Friend He’s Jealous Of His#Friend’s Fiancé. oh#like that’s the whole point. interpreting it any other way doesn’t make sense with the impact it’s purposefully supposed to make#like seriously try to say ‘he’s just sad he’s losing his friend to marriage :(‘ or something. you have to be REAL fucking stupid or#deeply in denial to make that argument let alone believe it#anyway. I appreciate this mv a lot#k.will the OG of doomed yaoi in kpop#kill me#closest contender off the top of my head is one more day by sistar#also note I am talking about mvs here not songs in general#cause if I were talking about songs in general. key’s out there pretty much writing about gay sex at this point so I mean#k.will#kpop#only adding actual tags because I want you to watch this mv if you haven’t already

wow thank you so much
#this is aoa's official youtube. it has 20 million views. :')#also this is the performance version of 'ai wo choudai' and like. God the choreo is . ooughw :(#it is So bland. this is one of The Songs Ever to me. and the choreo is giving Nothing.#it's not even... a decent sexy choreo. bcus this is so rooted in the era of kpop girlies either give cute - sexy or badass#yeah i Know it released in 2016 but aoa stayed true to their roots to the end lol. and 2016 was the tide changing anywya.#honestly the trichotemy was pretty bad but i tended to enjoy anything that fell under the 'sexy' label. the BEst bangers came outta that#(exid i lvoe you. sistar i love you. stellar i love you. fiestar i lvoe you. hellovenus i lo)#and. oh i feel terrible saying this. i would rather have the miserable trichotomy than most groups giving#~feminism~ through the lens of misogyny. it's like. Feminism but make it marketable and tell young women this is Fine#also softcore queerbaiting.#like every Knew the trichotemy was misogynist af. i didn't have to read posts saying that blackpink gave women rights#okay actually. wait. people were genuinely saying things like hyuna's red were feminsit anthems weren't they. okay nvm#i think the bar for 'progressive' is so low in kpop that it is in hell. to be honest.#like we have and have had more progressive thigns in music videos and lyrics in mainstream kpop#mostly from soloists or solo work from band members#moonbyul's shutdown is. clearly about having sex with a woman.#brown eyed girls' abracadabra is okay.... YES the angling is steeped in male gaze#but having a clearly wlw relationship in the mv Was iconic for the era. still is mroe brazen than most mvs dare to be.#also that sistar one where they kill a man together and run off being fruity.#one mroe day! that one!#so yknow. shoutout to the actual icons.#loftwinglullaby rambles#kpop

stab the dick
masterlist
Chibs doesn't need to be lucky all the time, it's enough that he's lucky sometimes
word count: 1655
warnings: no remorse for killing stalkers. Everybody thank Ned for inspiring all the douchebags in all I ever write ever
You finally entered the roofed space of the garage seeking for the heat to cease, but it didn't. The first time here, you had no idea where to look for whom. Your brother was nowhere to be found. You enjoyed calling Jackson your brother, although never to his face, because you didn't know if he thought of you as much as that. But it was nice to have a family still, that you didn't resent.
The air smelt like gas and oil, the two smells you got used to from your childhood and never learnt to love. All the things you were indifferent to, surrounded you: the cars, and the parts of the cars, and bikes, and the parts of them, too. The only thing that attracted your attention was a lean frame of a Chevy at the end of the room, but you didn't have time to walk towards it.
"Hi", the voice called, and you recognized the guy loafing around at the bar with Jax the other day. One of the gangsters, the bikers, or whatever they called themselves. Now, without the distracting backdrop of the bar and the light going against his back from the windows, without the bottles and the army of similar black leather jackets, he appeared more human to you, more individual. Interesting face, in which you couldn't immediately discern particularly attractive features, and yet, something caught your eye. The two long, crooked scars, placing a permanent grin onto his cheeks. And they were strangely, twistedly a decoration to him.
He was maybe about your father's age; but youthful in the way he stood with his hip popped, rubbing some stereotypical metal part with a rug; his eyes were glimmering like you were finally the entertainment he'd been waiting for, the whole day.
"Jackie's sister", he called.
"Right. I was looking for him", you said, and clenched your fists together behind your back. The presence of this stranger made you more uncomfortable, him offering something with his eyes, that you were not currently ready for.
He sat down onto a bench quietly, dragging out the pause.
"He's not here today", he said finally.
"Oh", it was like more weight crashed on you, "do you... do you know where I can find him?"
The man raised his eyebrows a little, curious.
"Don't you have an 'I-phone' to call him?"
"I still don't have his number. He's been coming 'round almost every day so I never needed to search for him before".
"He's a good brother, eh?"
You nodded, rubbing your fists. Your upper arms ached.
"Okay, but do you have any idea..."
"I can help you".
"I'd prefer to talk about it with Jackson".
He nodded with understanding.
"Family business".
"Yeah".
You finally saw this futile, so was about to turn around, but he raised his hand, as if trying to calm you.
"Settle down, I'll call him, ask".
In the twist of a joke, he took out a new looking IPhone from his dark jeans, letting you steal a glance at him while busy.
"Jackie", he barked, delightfully Scottish. Against all your might, the corner of your mouth twitched. You haven't heard such thick, rich accents in a long while, and your mind was being soothed with something familiar.
He continued, watching your face, as if he was reading it,
"Your sistar is here, not too social, I think she wants to see ya".
He listened for a second, then handed you the phone. You turned around instinctively, unwillingly demonstrating him your one clenched fist, and the bruise around it.
"What is it Y/N?" Jax asked quietly.
"This idiot came to my house".
"Shit, I am so on the other side of town. Please tell me he's with you in garage so Chibs can knock his head off".
"No, he stayed there. And, listen, he told me he'd kill me, because he's been seeing me with you... I said, you fucking idiot, he's my brother. He didn't believe me. And so..."
"Hold on, don't hurry. Has he hurt you?"
"Yeah, he did, but listen, it doesn't matter".
"Doesn't matter? Why?"
"Cause I stabbed him. I don't know if he's still alive, I decided not to call the police".
Your voice cracked a little, and the fingers of your free hand stabbed into the palm. You could hear Chibs shift a little behind you, uneasy to look at him just yet.
"Stabbed, like hard? With a knife?
"Yeah".
Pause.
"You did the right thing", Jax said finally, "let Chibs take you. You can trust him. He'll take care of it".
You allowed yourself a gaze over your shoulder towards the attentive scarred face. Slightly upturned; he looked like he was studying you. Black eyes, really nice, straight nose. As if Jackson's words about him being trustworthy magically highlighted the features. The lazy, disinterested observation gave him the air of a boss of the premises.
"Okay".
You returned the phone to him, as he stood up, already more energetic at the sound of stabbing.
"We got a body?"
"Not sure. Maybe he's still alive, or already left".
He nodded assertively, moving his legs like a criminal.
"Show the way, miss".
He was patting his own back for showing restraint.
After serving you into the car with courtesy, he started the engine so smoothly, that when the pickup began moving, you swayed a little. Catching yourself on the dashboard, you managed to notice the quick, snaking movement of his hand, removing the knife in a knifeholder from under your nose.
"No more stabbing for today", he warned you, with a little bit more joy in his voice. You sighed, rubbing your sprained wrist.
"Nailed a dick ex-boyfriend?"
"Never was my boyfriend", you said, a little too quickly, out of indignation, "a stalker. I moved in here a month ago and got the nastiest surprise of my life".
"Ooh", he boomed, "then nothing to stress about".
"I am not stressing", you said, "I think I'm going numb".
"Your hands are shaking".
"Left here. The last house, light green".
"Aye, it's the house that has that little narrow road towards the lake, isn't it?" he inquired suddenly.
"Yeah. I go there all the time".
"Oh, that's a nice place", Chibs smiled. In the situation of cold shock, you focused on his humannes, to hold on to hope that he will, in fact, take care of it. On this side of the face, his scar cupped his cheek in a half-moon shape, emphasizing his dimple tenfold. That made the smile akin to the blade spark, on his tough, bearded face. A face like this was supposed to never smile again, because it gave out the hope.
You wondered how painful that was. Getting your face cut, more or less than getting stabbed in the stomach?
You thought of Ned's face as you finally ran the kitchen knife through his guts. Long overdue, if you ask. You had no hard feelings about it, it was more that your body was trying to decide which mode of panic to implement.
The car stopped by the driveway smoothly, and you took a couple of seconds to look at its quiet outside.
"How many times have you hit 'em?"
"I managed three".
"Good girl", he cooed mindlessly, getting out of the car.
You entered the house and listened. No sound, as opposed to the stuffed grumbling, bubbling and seething whispers that were filling the living room just thirty minutes ago. You led Chibs down the hall, him stepping behind you like a cat, and opened the door, but he lost interest in the room immediately. You noticed his eyes trailing something on the floor, leading towards the little window at the end of the hall. Ned must have managed to escape the room and then walked in the wrong direction, wrangled himself against the window into the backyard, and continued there.
The man obeyed the traces, and then with dexterity of a hare, jumped over the open window frame. You saw him walk across the yard, where Ned finished his way already close to the narrow path Chibs had mentioned.
Telford grabbed the guy's shoulder to turn him around and estimate the wounds, but suddenly Ned gasped for air and started moving.
"Still kickin'!" Chibs announced, and your heart started pounding; out of relief? Fear? As if he could again stand up and lash out on you.
"Do we take him into a hospital?" you asked.
"Do you want him dead or alive?"
'Dead' sounded so devious coming from his mouth.
"I don't wish death on him", you breathed. Chibs nodded.
"Then bring some bandaids, cloths, and alcohol if you have it".
You nodded and ran back into the depth of the house.
Chibs bent one knee to get closer to the guy. He looked half-dead.
"What did ya do to her?" he required, feeling nothing towards this miserable idiot.
"Help", he mouthed, his eyes iridescent with the brain impulses trying to keep him alive.
"Sorry", he bowed down to Ned, "don't think I can. You see, I'm trying to put my dick into her. Also, I'm a feminist, so I'm always on the lady's side. Isn't that how it works?"
He looked at Ned's hands. Huge guy, maybe Chibs' height, or taller. And Y/N's tiny little wrists, that he probably, what, shook, squeezed, while trying to intimidate her. Chibs had seen this many times, this abuse. Big piece of shit taking it out on a small girl. He felt nothing about this guy. Shame he was lasting so long, because he was still trying to wriggle, even if blood was running out. Chibs moved his head around, feeling her coming back soon, and made a strategic decision. He put his elbow on Ned's neck, pushed and twisted. Then, after about ten seconds, turned towards the open window,
"Y/N, my apologies. He's done".

Hi! Firstly, I call you Smut operator or can I use a nickname like Smut or Operator?
And since you like anal that much, who are your top 10 kpop asses and why?
Call me the one you find the most convenient, I'd probably go with operator cause it's the more unique one. It also reminds me of a song (besides the one already referenced on my profile name). Now here is the list you wanted:
Alice Sohee
Bestie Dahye
Momoland Nancy
Apink Eunji
Twice Mina
Girl's Day Yura
CLC Seungyeon
Dreamcatcher Yoohyeon
Itzy Chaeryeong
Twice Momo
Really my top ass girls fall into two categories: they are either short but packed at the bottom or tall girls with a fit combo of ass and legs. In this top 10 6 girls are 1.63M or shorter (the 1st group) and 4 are 1.68M or taller (the 2nd group). You can basically consider this a 'golden standard" of ass I have got.
My 15 honorable mentions go to: T-Ara Hyomin, Oh My Girl Arin, Aespa Giselle, Sistar Bora, AOA Choa, Mamamoo Hwasa, Girls' Generation Tiffany, Le Sserafim Kazuha, Gfriend Eunha, Rainbow Hyunyoung, AOA Seolhyun, Red Velvet Joy, fromis_9 Saerom, Twice Dahyun, Momoland Yeonwoo (this one only misses the top 10 due to the small sample size).

obey me! kpop gg headcanons!!
I deleted my old acc, and then made a new one, but I've been playing obey me again.. so here is a new version of an old post I made!
I'm confident in some more than others
playlist here
lucifer:
definitely would not listen to kpop. if he was forced to listen to it by levi or mc he would probably (somewhat) enjoy mamamoo.
songs: egoistic, starry night
mammon:
denies that he likes it for sure. I can see him being into groups like aespa, 2ne1, and chungha
illusion - aespa, I'm the best - 2ne1, gotta go - chungha
levi:
you can't convince me he wasn't on loona stan twt.. definitely prefers cute concepts(same). I can see him being a multi stan. probably also likes twice, iz*one, fromis_9, wjsn etc.
secret - wjsn, luv me - twice, fun! - fromis_9
satan:
doesn't particularly like it, but if he had to choose a fav it would probably be either snsd or sunmi (I'm most unsure with satan tbh)
run devil run - snsd, tail - sunmi, siren - sunmi
asmo:
he would love sistar!! I can see him liking popular groups like blackpink and ive. I can see him listening to kiss of life too.
give it me - sistar, I like that -sistar, something - girls day
beelzebub:
likes to listen to it when he works out! would prefer more upbeat songs. groups like nmixx and itzy would be his go to!
tank - nmixx, soñar - nmixx, dalla dalla - itzy
belphie:
also wouldn't particularly like kpop. but I can see him listening to dreamcatcher.
scream, bonvoyage
diavolo:
would get into from levi's influence, so he probably would listen to cuter sounding songs. he would like snsd, apink, and fromis_9 (because I said so)
lion's heart - snsd, nonono - apink, mr. chu - apink
barbatos:
red velvet. would prefer the velvet concepts! maybe dreamcatcher too. but barbatos and simeon are the ones I'm most confident in.
be natural, bamboleo, underwater
solomon:
he likes weird kpop! he would LOVE momoland and orange caramel.
catallena - orange caramel, thumbs up - momoland, bad dracula - red velvet
simeon:
GFRIEND!!! he would listen to christain girl kpop! I can see him enjoying iu as well!
time for the moon night -gfriend, rough - gfriend, lilac - iu
luke:
would pretend to not like it because he isn't a little kid! he would probably also enjoy gfriend!
glass bead, me gustas tu, love whisper
#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me lucifer#obey me mammon#obey me leviathan#obey me satan#obey me asmodeus#obey me beelzebub#obey me belphegor#obey me diavolo#obey me barbatos#obey me solomon#obey me simeon#obey me luke

do you have any 2nd or 3rd gen gg songs you think everyone should listen to? or what are some of your faves?
this is such a hard question lmao, because i grew up on second and third gen kpop. if any followers have recs, feel free to drop them as well.
for me, of course there's the big or moderately popular groups (kara, 2ne1, f(x), snsd, wonder girls, apink, girls day, sistar, miss a, brown eyed girls, 4minute, aoa, after school, t-ara, secret, etc etc)
in terms of groups that might be considered more obscure:
all of 9muses' discography, in particular glue, drama, and dolls (they were not that obscure but they didn't get a single win before disbanding so they still count as flops)
evol - get up, we are a bit different (ngl they were the original girl crush concept, like girl groups were not making music like this back then! they were totally ahead of their times)
stellar - sting, vibrato (they were totally exploited by their company and sold using sex appeal, but their music was great. they deserved all the success, but NOT under that management)
spica - you don't love me (the original vocal group. if you like m*mamoo, consider listening to spica instead)
fiestar - one more, you're pitiful
rainbow - A, black swan, cha cha (rainbow blaxx)
hello venus - wigglewiggle, stickysticky, i'm ill
dal shabet - be ambitious, joker
ladies code - hate you (they're regrettably known more for the deaths of rise and eunbi than for their music, but they really did make some bops)
kiss&cry - domino game (queens.... debuted w/ this incredible song and then disbanded immediately </3)
laboum - what about you (literally one of my favorite songs of all time)
secret - shy boy (I KNOW they were fairly successful and got a triple crown w/ this song but kpoppies these days don't know them???/)
BESTie - i need you
and this isn't even getting into any of the third gen proper girl groups i loved and lost 😭 (clc, pristin, wjsn, lovelyz), OR the discographies of any of the groups i listed in the big or moderately successful category above, but I think those songs would just be easier to find if you just look up collections of 2nd or 3rd gen girl group music.
other groups i remember but never rlly got into: glam (problematic but made some fun songs), tiny-g, sunnyhill, rania (dr feel good is still iconic), berrygood
tagging @neonunau because i feel like you'd appreciate the nostalgia hit lol

24 25 for the ask game yeyy
yaaay omg this had me thinking actually
24. your favorite debuts?
into the new world foremost obviously.. i have my issues with every individual nct unit's debut but everyone is so right in thinking the 7th sense is like one of the best to ever do it. exo mama because i like it :) and also because it's so hilariously vocally challenging for a debut song like help. shinee replay, billlie ring x ring, everglow bon bon chocolat, loona hi high frowny face, and ofcourse jopping
25. your favorite music videos?
i think the best mvs are when everyones like in the rain miserable or something so omy forever happy birthdayyyy!!!!! also sistar's one more day & k. will please don't were instrumental in me figuring a few things out as a kid 😭😭. rv peek-a-boo, taemin want, exo lmr sorryyy the footbaseballsoccer uniforms still get me, aseul naughty, sunmi full moon, fx red light also!

what kpop girl groups the tlt cast would stan
just saw a post talking about the tlt cast doing kpop dance challenges and couldn't shut up so now i'm making my own post. i know significantly more about girl groups than i do boy groups, so i'm assigning everyone a girl group and/or female soloist enjoy.
judith: she was a wonder girls stan growing up and acts like it was just a casual phase but she still religiously awaits every comeback from sunmi
marta: mamamoo. she's not actually involved with the fandom in any way she just knows good vocals when she hears em
coronabeth: she has pretty broad tastes for the most part and tends to be a bit inconsistent with her ults-- these days it's ive and she is THE wonyoung defender, but she had a hell of a red velvet phase before that, and there was also a good while when she was big into momoland.
ianthe: aoa. miniskirt was the only song of theirs that she knew before the scandal she hopped onto that ship right as it was sinking. i do also think corona showed her the monster mv when it came out and she was obligated by sisterly law to make fun of it but then promptly binged every single thing red velvet has ever created.
babs: a boygroup stan but he makes an exception for ioi (somi specifically).
isaac: he likes nmixx and aespa, but i think he's more intense about craxy and a couple other nugu groups. he enjoys the newer songs that sound like three completely different songs got smashed together my boy wants NOISE.
jeannemary: DREAMCATCHER. girlie is the biggest somnie on earth and has a massive crush on dami and sua in particular. she's a big girlcrush enjoyer in general though she also stans everglow, pixy, and purplekiss.
abigail: girl's generation, obviously.
magnus: i mean he of course likes anything his wife likes especially because she appreciates the classics, but i think he also really loves like. gugudan and fromis. honestly? 9muses too idk why every group with the number 9 in it has his vibes but they all do.
palamedes: stans every girlgroup that has ever existed with all his heart and soul, but especially stayc, billlie, and loona. he's one of those orbits who actually knows all the lore too.
camilla: was a casual blackjack back in the day but the only gg she's really into is g-idle. she appreciates it when a group has some artistic freedom, and also can tell when an idol actually knows how to rap vs just not knowing how to sing.
dulcinea: nature, gfriend, and chungha. she likes cutesy groups that do total 180s in concept i think nature dropping girls was one of the best days of her damn life.
protesilaus: fifty fifty but he stanned before cupid released. also cignature he really likes nugu groups.
silas: gangnam style is the only kpop song he has ever heard and he is deeply distraught upon learning that there's more.
colum: he enjoys one (1) song by a kpop girl group and it is la vie en rose by iz*one
harrowhark: by and large does not listen to kpop but she saw the mv to paradise lost by gain as a young teenager and it Did Something To Her. i think there's a timeline out there where she's a cheshire but in that timeline her parents love her
gideon: so ik i gave mamamoo to marta but gideon appreciates a hot woman with hella ability to command a stage and mamamoo is four of those. she likes hyuna for the exact same reason but i am especially talking about red/roll deep/how's this era hyuna. oh and exid.
mercymorn: she's a blink.
augustine: and he, naturally, is a once!
gide1: rania do NOT ask me why because i do not have an answer.
pyrrha: sistar. she biases hyolyn like hell and considers dally to be the song of the myriad.
cytherea: was pristin's number one fan and that's why she's like that now
john: newjeans. you KNOW that man is super shy
nona: thinks every song by a girlgroup is the best song ever. palamedes got her into loona but she doesn't know any of the lore he tries to explain it and she just goes TAKE ME HIGH! HIGH! HIGH! HIGH-- she also loves itzy and now is getting into kiss of life but mainly that's because of the dance break in shhh (which she tried to learn but she can't balance on one foot that long)
alecto: honestly i think she would learn that the kpop industry exists and immediately go on a murderous rampage against every ceo in the universe, but she plays karma by blackswan in the background when she does it.
#tlt#kpop#hope you all enjoy this#i was not expecting to have this many thoughts but here we are#phron speaks

when you get this you have to answer with 5 of ur fav songs and then tag your mutuals to do the same :) (no pressure <3)
tagged by @sparklyeyedhimbo
this changes a lot so these are mostly my most played recently
bad guys - garfield pantach, benz atthanin, lee asre, pop pataraphol
the witch laugh, the bubble popping, the gun cocking, the magical sound effect... how could i not listen to this several times per day?? it's hypnotic
the sign - keng tachaya
this song is SO GOOD, also someone said it sounds like an esc song and they were so right
maniac - viviz
hype song kinda, makes me want to try that one dance step every single time. used to listen to this one while giffing but i think it's wearing off a bit
incredible - michael kiettisak, topten supakorn
i am so normal about pit babe songs (speed of love didn't make the cut bc the next song on this list came out) and this one i can listen to on loop for a while, so...
no more (ma boy) - sistar
we're not even done with january and i can already tell you this is going to be my most listened song of 2024 not because i don't think i will eventually get tired of it/move on to something else but bc i listen to it so much. it's my giffing song for one, but also i literally never get tired of listening to it which does not happen with anything else, as much as i like it... according to my spotify stats it's already my most played song. ever.

Please vote for which song you think is better! If you haven't already, make sure to listen to both songs under the read more before voting.
Propaganda is encouraged, but please do not be negative towards the other song in doing so. This is meant to be a fun tournament! If you write propaganda in the text of your reblog (rather than in the tags), I will likely reblog it!
P.S. you still can send in nominations for the round 3 second chance spot!
youtube
Sistar spread their wings and beat out Loona's Butterfly in round 1, and I Swear that they would have won in Round 2 anyways against their own song, but regardless Touch My Body continued!
Touch My Body is the original kpop summer song! It is Sistar's second most viewed full group MV and serves such a fun energy that is sure to brighten anyone's day!
youtube
Despite it not being in their song's name, SF9 were the real Killas as they took the win over VAV! And their fans proved that they truly are Fearless after they won against one of the top songs of 2022! (still no Tear Drops shed here (sorry))
Tear Drop is SF9's 3rd most viewed MV! I really love this song because it is soft and elegant which is rare for boy groups! I usually really dislike antidrop choruses but I think SF9's vocals really add to it and make this song so good!

Produce 48 Recaps: Auditions Begin (episode 1)
When we left off in my probably-unnecessary-but-still-necessary Rewatch Recap of Produce 48, the 96 girls had made their entrance into the huge studio, and the judges were just about to reveal themselves. Let's get to it!
The judges come out!
First, it’s Lee Hong Ki, a powerful vocalist, here to teach them to sing. He’s from FT Island, and amazingly, was in the *second* K-drama I ever watched, You’re Beautiful, which was fun at the time, but which I cannot actually recommend. I will say that Hong-ki is the best part of it despite his, let’s say, broad acting choices.
The character he played on You’re Beautiful was named Jeremy, and I can’t help but think of him as Jeremy. So just understand that I will be calling him Jeremy for the duration of these recaps. Thank you.
Here he is as Jeremy. He’s ACTING!
Next, it’s Soyou, from Sistar. She was overshadowed by Hyolyn but is an excellent vocalist in her own right. She’s here to be the other vocal trainer.
It wouldn’t be an MNET show without this asshole:
I don’t want to learn his name but he’s that choreographer/dance teacher/ sociopath who always makes sure that all of the trainees’ mental health is hanging on by the merest of threads. I’m going to call him Psychopath. Seriously, fuck this guy. I���ll note that he comes across as sweet and loveable in this episode but I can’t forgive him for the shit he pulled during Boys Planet. Nope. Never. He has earned my undying hatred. To be clear, I do not support sending him hate messages or harming him in any way. I will just quietly, and personally, hate him on my Tumblr which gets maybe 5 or 10 readers.
And then there’s her:
Bae Yoon Jung! She’s also pretty intense, and I know she’s mean to them on the first day, but she has the capacity for normal human empathy, as I recall. I’m going to call her Dance Bae. That doesn’t mean that I co-sign on her casual cruelty. It’s just that it’s literally her name and it’s easy to remember.
I don’t remember this lady:
Her name is May J Lee and she’s also a dance trainer. She’s cute. Here’s to hoping she understands that the trainees are human beings!
It’s Cheetah, here to be the rap trainer! God, I love her song Villain so damn much. The video is great, too, but trigger warning for violence. “I could fix you, but I won’t.” HECK yeah.
And special one-day trainer, Kahi, who was the dance trainer for PD101 Season 2.
Kahi was in After School, then “graduated” in June 2012, right around the same time that Gaeun joined. They undoubtedly have spent time together, so it’ll be interesting to see if they interact much in this episode. (Maybe Gaeun being on the show this season meant that Kahi couldn’t really be the judge for the whole time?)
The judges glare holes into the trainees while explaining that they’ll be sorting them into groups -- A, B, C, D, and F -- based on skill level, with the ultimate goal of bringing them all up to A-grade. And now it’s time for these would-be performers to perform, and of course, they don’t want to actually perform.
41:50 The Auditions Begin
The girls are nervous. Yoon Hae Sol (윤해솔), 20, former member of Aqua, lets out a gusty breath. And this girl is nervous too, whoever the heck she is.
Kim Chaewon, it says on her nametag. Well, she’s cute. Meanwhile I’m fascinated by the shoe behind her. WHOSE SHOE IS THAT? WHAT IS THIS SHOE?
The AKB-48 girls are even more nervous. Oda Erina, 21, in a stylish bob and a blue, yellow and white jacket is intimidated by the Korean girls. Mogi Shinobu, also 21, a living meme with blue furry sleeves, is so nervous she looks like she might cry. We love you, Shinobu.
Time for the first audition! Or at least, the audition that the editors have moved to the beginning of the episode, even though it was probably not the first one to happen in real time! Because they wanted to front-load excellent Korean auditions to emphasize the skill gap between the Korean and Japanese contestants!
Audition 1: Yuehua
Kim Si Hyeon (김시현), age 18, in the long sleeved shirt, now a member of Everglow.
Choi Ye Na (최예나), age 18, with her hair in a ponytail.
Wang Yi Ren (왕이런), age 17, pink shirt with black edges. She’s Chinese and is now a member of Everglow.
We see a clip of the Yuehua girls back stage, where Choi Yena accidentally draws on the camera with red marker and then apologizes profusely. AND SHE NEVER WORKED IN KPOP AGAIN!!
Then we get a flashback of Gross Guy personally watching the auditions of all 96 girls prior to the filming of the first episode. He’s so gross. Ugh. He makes JYP seem like a sweet, safe guy. Anyway we find out that after Choi Yena performed her song, she asked to do an extra performance. She begins speaking in what sounds like decent Japanese and does a little miming routine with sound effects. She’s pretty charming, actually.
Cut back to audition day. The Woolim girls are backstage waiting for their turn when they recognize Sihyeon from her time on PD101, Season 1. Sihyeon interviews that she’s embarrassed when she looks back at herself on PD101 and that she’s gotten a lot better since then. In fact, as we find out later, she got an F in that season.

Song: Move by Little Mix
My Thoughts: They do great, in my opinion. Siyheon has a great clear, strong voice and her English pronunciation is mostly pretty good. Yena and Yiren don’t sing as clearly, but their dancing is great and they have a lot of presence. God, Yiren sparkles so much! I feel like she’s getting bad advice from whoever is around her now, because in more recent Everglow performances she always seems so muted. Seeing this, I can see she’s capable of great stage presence -- I hope she finds her way back to this. I dig Everglow and just want them to keep living up to their potential. I would have given Siyheon an A and the other two Bs, I think, though it’s hard without seeing the other trainees to compare.
The MNET Edit: The editing emphasizes Yiren and Yena more, but overall the editing is kind to all three. We see some of the Japanese girls saying “why is everyone so good”, almost as if this ISN’T the first team to go up. (Also, we see that other girls are already wearing their grade name tag, though they’re blurred out.) The judges give Yena an A and the other two get Bs, which I guess reminds us that as long as you *kind* of sing while you also dance a lot and are very charming, then…. you get an A. Anyway, A and B are fine.
The editors really want us to know that the Japanese girls are very worried about their auditions. It is true that they generally don’t have the training the Korean girls have -- I’m not commenting on their inherent worthiness, just their preparation. But the show really, really focuses on that. I’m sure at least some of the Korean girls were nervous too, but we don’t seem to be seeing clips of that on the show.
Auditions 2 and 3: Woolim and WM Entertainment
Next, the MNET editors decided to further confuse anyone who has previously confused WM Entertainment with Woolim Entertainment by overlapping these two agency’s auditions, same as they did when the girls entered the auditorium. Thanks, MNET editors! Thmeditors. We learn that Woolim manages Lovelyz, while WM manages Oh My Girl (their rivals), though now in 2023 I think we all know that Oh My Girl kind of won that particular fight. Apparently the girls view each other as rivals? ...? But do they, though?
Woolim is up first. They take a moment finding their places, and we learn that Eunbi is their leader/mom who brought them medicine and Japanese phrase books. What a good unnie!
Left to right: Suyun, Eunbi, Sohee, Chaewon
Kim Chae Won (김채원), age 17 now: Le Sserafim wearing a short sleeved white top, tie Kim So Hee (김소희), age 14 now: Rocket Punch wearing pigtails Kim Su Yun (김수윤), age 17 now: Rocket Punch wearing short sleeved black top Kwon Eun Bi (권은비), age 22 now: soloist wearing a tie, cardigan

Song: Ah-Choo by Lovelyz / Bad by Infinite
My thoughts: It’s always awkward when you have one member who’s 14 (and looks 12) and one who is 22 (and looks 25) -- they’re always going to sort of make one another look bad. But overall, this is actually a really good audition. I watched it multiple times and didn’t pick up on any mistakes or bad moments. All four of them had kpop acceptable vocals that didn’t stand out as fantastic or terrible. Chaewon’s a tiny bit shaky on the high notes, but they are really high notes. Little Sohee’s dancing was less powerful than the others’, even during Ah-Choo, but that’s fine considering she’s so much younger. I did think they looked a tiny bit silly doing that super powerful choreography to Bad while still dressed to perform Ah-Choo, but the goal was to display different skills and they did that. Knowing how deep the hole can go, I think I would have given all these girls As or Bs, maybe a C for little Sohee. It’s hard to know for sure since it’s not always clear what is live singing and what’s the backup track.
The MNET Edit is fair. The rest of the trainees appreciate their performance.
Backstage, Lee Chaeyeon says Eun Bi caught her eye the most. I actually noticed Suyun a lot too, but her time will come later.
The judges compliment their synchronization and ask to see them perform something else. They launch into a second performance, which seems equally well rehearsed. I don’t recognize the song off hand (if any of you do, feel free to let me know!) but they do a great job with it. Dance Bae says, in an almost irritated way, “why haven’t you debuted yet? You seem ready to me.” I think she’s speaking mainly to Eunbi, who smiles wide at the compliment. We won’t hear their grades until later, but I’ll tell you their grades now, because I just love subverting the MNET editing monkeys. Kwon Eun Bi gets an A, ChaeWon gets a B, and the other two get Cs. Maybe I’m just biased toward Suyun from knowing her now? It’s hard to say. But I still think a B would have been fairer for her.
Next, WM Entertainment. The girls come out on stage and the judges immediately tell Chaeyeon she looks familiar. She acknowledges having been on Sixteen with Somi (2015) and on Kpop Star 3 (2013). She says that this time she really wants to show us what she’s got. The other girls are excited to see her dance.
Trainees:
Lee Seung Hyeon (이승현), 17 now known as Riina in H1-Key, in the black shirt Lee Chae Yeon (이채연), 18, currently a soloist, in the pink shirt Cho Yeong In (조영인), 16, in the white Link to full audition on Youtube
Song: Shower, originally by Becky G
My thoughts: All three of them do well dancing wise. It’s not surprise that Chaeyeon would dance well, and she certainly outshines the other two, but Seunghyeon holds her own and Yeongin doesn’t look bad. I think vocally, Seunghyeon does the best job, but Chae’s belted note sounded good. Yeongin’s vocals were noticeably shaky compared to the other two’s. I think I would have given Yeongin a B or C, Chae would get an A, and Seunghyeon an A or a B depending on what the dance teachers said. Overall though it was a good audition.
The MNET edit is again pretty kind. Everyone focuses on Chaeyeon, of course. When they’re done, the judges ask her to freestyle to Instruction by Jax Jones featuring Demi Lovato, and she dances in a style that’s really appropriate to the song. Everyone’s impressed. The judges announces the grades. Chaeyeon gets an A, which seems completely correct. The other two get Bs, which is ok.
The editing is setting Kwon Eun Bi and Lee Chaeyeon up to be rivals. Surely, they must hate each other, if they’re both good dancers and their agencies are on the same street in Seoul!
In the audience, Kojima Mako says to her friend, “It’s so amazing that I’m not even nervous anymore. Our friend Juri says to Shinozaki Ayana, “I feel like I’m just watching a TV show.” Me too, Juri! We stan a relatable queen. But yeah, it’s more of the whole “the terrible, silly, weak Japanese girls are in awe of the mighty, powerful Korean girls” narrative that MNET’s editing monkeys keep pushing.
Auditions 4 and 5: The Very Pretty Girls
Next, we have the introduction of two Very Pretty Girls: Kim Min Ju (김민주), age 17 from Urban Works, in her colorful striped shirt, and Kang Hye Won (강혜원), age 18, from 8D Creative in a blue mini dress with a big pink and white collar. The other trainees think that these two girls look like actresses, so maybe it’s no surprise that now (2023), they are in fact both actresses. I renew my complaint from earlier that I don’t understand why certain girls are considered prettier than the others, and remind you that this isn’t an insult to them, as they are certainly very pretty, but more of a compliment to the others, who I view as equally pretty. Isn’t Kwon Eun Bi just as pretty? Is she not? I don’t understand. I will be saying that a lot in these recaps so I guess I’ll just call it my Particularly Pretty Problem (PPP) and leave it at that.
Agency: 8D Creative
Trainee: Kang Hye Won
In a pre-show interview, they ask her such questions as “were you always pretty?” and she says that yes, she is. This is the part of kpop I like least. She says that the position she wants is 청정 or purity. I guess I understand that -- there is usually a sexy member of a given group (see: Kai in Exo, Hyunjin in SKZ, Joy in Red Velvet, Soojin in G-Idle) and there’s usually a funny or approachable one (see: Chanyeol, Changbin, Wendy, Yuqi), so I could see there being a sort of pure or extra cute one. It’s not as crazy as it might sound.

Song: You and I by IU (2011)
My Thoughts: Well, that was pretty terrible. There’s room at the bottom, but she barely dances and she only kind of sings. The singing is breathy, faint, and pitchy. The dancing is half hearted and my grandma could have done this choreo even after her stroke. She has negative stage presence. Also, to me, she always looks confused. There’s something about either her facial features or her expression that make her look bewildered. I’m sorry if she’s your favorite. She may have charming personality traits that I don’t know about yet. She’s just not particularly skilled in either singing or dancing. She should get an F.
If you can’t handle me saying that about this audition, then I really suggest that you just not read any more of my recaps because I’m going to say stuff like this about bad auditions. I don’t care if she’s “pretty”. I don’t care if she has gone on to be successful. Other people -- Eun Bi, for example -- are pretty and they can also sing and dance. I believe that if you make your living as a singer and/or dancer, you should be able to sing and/or dance.
The MNET edit:They don’t do her any favors, zooming in on her non-dancing and focusing on the judges’ reactions to her shaky high notes and nearly stationary body. When she’s done, she stands there with this look on her face, which is the way I always remember this girl looking and how I recognize her in her more recent endeavors.
Dance Bae says, “Purity is all you have. F.” Done and done.
Agency: Urban Works
Trainee: Kim Min Ju

Song: No Matter What by BoA
My Thoughts: This was so much better than Hyewon’s audition. For one thing, she actually danced. She showed a variety of different actual dance steps, including legs, body, arms, head, face. She danced! The singing was extremely faint and I think a lot of it was the backing track, but this was leagues ahead. Without being able to clearly discern her singing, it’s so hard to tell, but I think I’d put her in C territory.
The MNET edit:They show the judges adjusting their ear buds and looking bored or put off, and focused on a part where she dropped into a squat and looked a little awkward. But that was just the dance move! This was originally done as a partner dance and it was adapted for a single person (I think? Unless it was just made new, whole cloth?), so maybe they should have just cut that squatting part out -- it’s not her fault. They also show a girl in the audience looking bored (maybe cut in from a totally different performance). It’s not kind. Minju, you deserved better.
They give her a D. I don’t know. Seems like they’re punishing her for being pretty. But maybe the singing was worse than I thought.
I’m not going to comment on it every single time it happens, but just assume that after every performance there will be a reaction/voice over from a Japanese girl saying, “If that didn’t get an A, I’m going to get an F for sure” or “the Korean girls are so much better than me” or something like that. It’s constant.
Auditions 6 and 7: The Punching Bags
These next two auditions are shown mainly to mock these trainees. Neither of them do a stellar job, but both deserved a little better than what they got.
We see a scrap of the audition from Shin Su Hyun (신수현), a 22 year old represented by FAVE Entertainment.
She’s performing Playing with Fire by Blackpink. I watched her full audition, but we only see a little bit of it in the actual show. She started off with rapping, which the edit doesn’t show; I think she’s going for a rap position, not a singing one, which helps excuse why her singing was weak. The dancing wasn’t great -- she was a beat or two ahead of the choreography (something I only noticed because I know the song so well). But I thought she at least had charisma. I think a C wouldn’t have been out of line, but I don’t know the rubric. The edit replays a part where she sort of does a chicken-dance wiggle during the chorus when that’s not quite what the choreo is like, but I had to go back and rewatch the original to see that the original choreo is different. The PWF choreography is kind of weird -- I’ve always thought so. What’s with the dogpaddling in the chorus, or that weird “drawing a line with your finger” at the end? Anyway, my point is that the edit makes her look even worse than she actually did.
They intersperse her audition with the audition of Cube’s Han Cho Won -- she’s only 15 here, but you may now know her as one of the most popular members of Cube’s youngest girl group, Lightsum. The edit here make her look like a complete idiot. If you watch her full audition, you’ll see that, yeah, it’s not great, but there are some extenuating circumstances.
The biggest problem is that the song was a poor choice. Red by Hyuna is a HYUNA song. Like a third of the lyrics are “red is Hyuna”, and there’s a whole 10 second segment where Hyuna just sits on the ground and flirts with the camera. It’s all about being sexy and having a nice body, specifically a nice butt, and the choreography is very core/waist/butt centered. It seems that Chowon just can’t quite move her body that way, and at 15, maybe just isn’t up the task of embodying the universal sex symbol that is a full-grown Hyuna. I don’t know who is!
Anyway, I think Chowon should have done Pepe by CLC, assuming she was going to stick to a song by a Cube artist. The song has a fun retro feel and it would have been more appropriate for a 15 year old who doesn’t know how to twerk yet. Or maybe Pretty Pretty by Pentagon -- I bet Hui would have helped her remix something for the show if the agency had asked him to -- he's a good sunbae -- and the song has quirky, funny choreography that might have made the judges smile. Sigh.
Poor Chowon -- it wasn’t a great audition, but I blame whoever either told her to do this song, or allowed her to do it if it was her choice. The whole point of having management is to get smart people to help you make decisions like this, especially when you’re fifteen. But that’s asking too much from Cube, I guess. Kahi even says that she had been at Cube briefly and that they don’t teach you anything, which checks out. Cube is just the WORST.
Both Chowon and Suhyun get a lecture on needing to learn (or review) the basics and both get a D. It’s not totally unfair -- it’s just that I know that there is so much worse to come.
More discussion about how the Japanese girls aren’t really given any training and just learn to perform by watching their sempai/sunbae/seniors. Dance Bae says it’ll be fun to watch them grow.
And now it’s time to see the AKB48 girls perform. We see that they’ve changed out of their entrance outfits -- those plaid monstrosities -- into different outfits, most of which are also monstrosities.
Audition 8: Get You!
See, it's a play on words because the song is called Get You and also MNET wants to get them
Agency: AKB48
Trainees: Oda Erina 21, and Nakano Ikumi 17
Erina, left, with the shorter hair and Ikumi, right, in the blue shorts.
The judges comment that Erina is known for her singing and Ikumi for her dancing.

Song: Get You! by Morning Musume (a different J-pop idol group)
My Thoughts: Well, this wasn’t terrible. They do sort of take turns either singing or dancing, and rarely do both at the same time. The choreography they do is mostly extremely simple and not super well synced, but they do throw themselves into it. They have a lot of energy, which I know is important in J-pop. If you asked me, “which of these is the singer and which of these is the dancer?” I wouldn’t be able to tell you. But neither of them assaulted my ears. Judged by J-pop standards, this was great. By K-pop standards, not great. I’d give them a C and see how they do learning the choreography for the signal song.
The MNET edit: The edit makes it seem much worse than it really was. Honestly, it wasn’t that horrific. They were more fun to watch than Kang Hye Won for sure.
The judges ask Ikumi to freestyle dance, which she agrees to with an English “Yes!” They play “Look What You Made Me Do” by Taylor Swift. She tries to do a sort of interpretive dance thing, and I appreciate that she at least tried. She has lovely body lines and seems to understand rhythm and tone, anyway. They keep showing her trip a little on her platform sneakers. God, those things look hard to dance in. After a bit she seems to give up, pulling her hair over her face, and the judges call it. Her AKB-mates are impressed, but the judges aren’t.
Dance Bae compliments her on her energy, but says she seems to not know what to do with it. “I’m not sure that the fact that you danced to the beat warrants you having won first place in a large competition,” Dance Bae scolds. “If you keep continuing like this, you won’t ever be able to perform on stage.”
Ikumi gets a D, and Erina gets a C. We don’t actually see that, though -- I had to look it up. It’s not part of the narrative to see that neither of them got an F, I guess.
Next, we have a mini montage of various girls, especially Japanese girls, saying that Dance Bae is the scariest judge, known for her terrifying line: “You really want to be a singer?!?” Which I think is a fair question! So many people get into the Idol Biz because they want to be actors or tv hosts -- I wish there was a pipeline to celebrity for people like that that didn’t involve them humiliating themselves on a show like this.
Auditions 9 and 10: What’s Your Name and Knock Knock
We cut to another audition, in progress, with a caption that seems to imply that this is just a preview (“Coming up…”) but no, this is the actual audition, as much of it as we’re going to see.
AKB: What’s Your Name?
Here’s the original song being performed by 4Minute. Things were different in 2013 -- this was before Catch Me If You Can by SNSD came out so nobody yet knew that women were actually able to do intense choreo, I guess. But even for 2013 standards, What’s Your Name has easy choreo. I mean, it barely has choreo aside from just sort of bending over and displaying your butt. Also, the lyrics are three quarters “what’s your name/ ireumi mwoyeyo?” So it’s a really good choice for a rookie group!
Here’s their audition.
Left to right: Manami, Ayana, Chiyori, Miho, Shinobu
Ichikawa Manami, 18, in the blue top, red skirt Shinozaki Ayana, 22, in the light blue skirt Nakanishi Chiyori, 23, in the pink fluffy skirt Miyazaki Miho, 24, in the sparkly top, navy skirt Mogi Shinobu, 21, in the turquoise skirt, fluffy blue sleeves
We just met Shinobu earlier, when she was talking about how scary Dance Bae is, got her name wrong, an apologized profusely. She's our living meme and we love her. We also almost met Miho; she was the one who knows how to write in Korean.
My thoughts: Oh no. There’s something so incongruous about someone in a sparkly cupcake skirt and Mary Jane shoes doing a pelvic thrust. These outfits look like… Ok maybe this is a deep cut but do you know those fashion plate toys? I had my cousin’s old one and I was obsessed. It was like stencils, but you had a head and a top part and a bottom part, and you’d choose one of each and then stencil over it to make a picture you could color.
That’s what these outfits look like. Like someone went nuts with a fashion plate and glitter glue and then just brought it to life.
Left to right: Shinobu, Chiyori, Ayana, Manami, Miho
It’s so hard to pay attention to their performance in those outfits. And the shoes! Those shoes I noticed behind Chaewon earlier are Shonbu's! And I’m obsessed with Ayana’s red-shoe-and-patterned-socks combo.
Also Miho’s and Shinobu’s… furry… peplums? And the quilted skirts? And how none of the tops seem to go with any of the bottoms, even though they appear to be dresses? Question Mark? It’s so bizarre to me. What. Is. Happening. Each dress is awful alone, they’re worse together, they're even worse with the shoes, and they’re the worst in the context of this particular song, which is meant to be sort of swaggy hiphop.
When I try to focus on the actual singing and dancing, there isn’t much there to judge. The song itself is kind of a nothing-burger tune wise and there’s hardly any choreo to speak of. They have energy, I’ll give them that. No one strikes an obviously horrendously bad note or falls over. They manage to do what they’re doing in some reasonably high heeled shoes, and they’re singing a song that is at least mostly in Korean. It’s clearly not up to the standard expected from debuted Kpop artists. I feel like I’d have to see them in normal clothes to be able to really judge. None of them stands out as better or worse than the rest. I give them an E for effort and I’d probably give them all Ds. They were still better than Hyewon.
Dance Bae gives Chiyori and Miho both Ds, and the rest get Fs. (We hear Dance Bae saying that they all get Ds, but the on screen caption says otherwise, and my internet sleuthing agrees with the on screen caption.) I think, watching it back, that Chiyori and Miho got Ds for just taking on a big role in the performance and trying that little bit harder. Miho seemed to be the main vocal, sort of, and Chiyori was the center.
Ok, let’s take a peek at some of the youngest -48 girls, singing the Japanese version of Knock Knock by Twice.
Asai Yuka is 14 and from SKE48. We met her earlier when she walked in with Jurina. Umeyama Cocona is also 14 and is from NMB48.
Left to right: Cocona with the big bow, Yuka with the blue ribbon
My thoughts: Aww, they just little babies! They probably practiced by themselves in a hallway or something for a few hours with no help. There’s not much to judge here. They’re obviously underskilled for this show and would have to be given Fs but it’s not their fault. I’m not going to make fun of a couple of 14 year olds who signed up for an adventure, not knowing how hard it would be. I sense tears in the future.
I wrote that, and then watched Dance Bae give them both Fs and say, at a pre-show meeting, “I think these girls will cry a lot while they’re here.” Perhaps she’d be pleased to know that poor Cocona withdrew from the show before the second evaluation even took place! There's also some potential back story here. Per reddit:
From what I’ve heard (and I’m not sure how credible it is), Jurina and Yuuka planned to perform together for the first evaluation, but the producers wanted Jurina to do a solo, so Cocona got pulled from the NMB group [that performs Funny People] and her and Yuuka did this. That may explain why they did…particularly bad, to the point where it looks like they don’t even know the song.
That does sound like something MNET would do, and it also would explain how these two girls ended up in a performance together despite being in different groups (SKE48 and NMB48), giving it the ring of truth. So I'm going to be even more sparing of my criticism of the girls. They do come across as unprepared, but I think that's just because.... well, they were, through no fault of their own.
In any case, Cocona is one of the Japanese trainees who withdraws early in the process. It's probably for the reasons we'd imagine -- flying back and forth from Japan is taxing, and she's young enough to need to go to school still. She probably just wanted to go through so much stress just to get insulted and yelled at. Can't blame her!
Since we’re not going to see much of Cocona again, let’s find out what happened to her after she withdrew from the show. She went back to NMB48 and continued performing with them for a few more years, graduating at a special concert on March 26, 2022. She did some modeling for magazines in 2020, so she might still be pursuing that. Here’s her instagram -- she has 95,000 followers and seems to post influencer-esque content with lots of hashtags.
Ganbatte, Cocona! Happy trails and much success to you!
10 auditions down, about 30 to go! Thanks for reading so far -- feel free to do all the things: like, reblog, comment, share, blah blah blah. Tune in next time when we continue the auditions, and stay warm, my friends!

Kpop questions: 22, 26, 27?
Ooh! Fun.
22. How I got into kpop.
Well, it was in early September of 2015 and I was in 7th grade. I was into anime and wanted to find some Japanese pop music to listen to so I found this online radio called BigBRadio that specialized in East Asian pop music. Mainly C/J/K-pop. I visited it now and then but I noticed at one point that one of the moderators had embedded a YouTube music video for a kpop song in the daily feed and I was curious so I clicked it. I was immediately FASCINATED. The song was called Vanilla Shake I think and the artist is N.Caa or something? But anyway, her vibes, the whole aesthetic of the music video, it was all so fun and I had to know more. I remembered having seen a comment on random YouTube video mentioning EXO as a kpop group, so I looked them up and I was immediately hooked. They were like my anime boys with the colorful hair and fancy coordinated outfits except, even better, these guys were REAL. Most of my special interests up to that point were centered around music or cute boys and finally I was able to combine those 2 in addition to East Asian culture which I was already interested in, and found pretty much the perfect special interest.
26. Do I prefer boy groups, girl groups, coed groups, or smth in between?
Although I like girl groups, I generally prefer boy groups for a couple of reasons. The main one is that I’m more attracted to men than women. But the other one is that it seems a lot more common in girl groups to debut idols that cannot sing at all. Not that this doesn’t happen in boy groups but I feel like girl groups are especially notorious for being debuted with gorgeous members who are insufficiently skilled at singing. It’s gotten better over time, but I’ve also had a hard time getting into any new groups after I had some bad depression a couple of years ago and unfortunately a lot of my fav girl groups were disbanded but most of the boy groups did not. (Sistar, Girls’ Day, and Miss A my beloveds)
27. Kpop idol is want to hang out with
OOOOOH. Hard one. Probably Seungmin and I have good reasons for this. Even if Skz hadn’t been one of my long time favs I’d still probably pick him because we would be able to relate over singing and Day6. Day6 karaoke with Seungmin would be a literal dream come true. I know that I’d be super nervous at first but I would get into it really quickly and it would be so much fun. Like I think he’s really attractive and all but that kind of attention isn’t something I crave from him. No, it’s Day6 karaoke with him that I crave and have craved for a long time. I also just feel like if I said something a little out of left field or overly blunt like I tend to do, he’s probably the kind of person that would think it’s funny rather than being weirded out by it.
Thanks for the ask!!!!!!!
