ceo jang igs: Oh Actor Lee Jinki ! [2] We're still running. Let's run together! Today's schedule was also happy !!

"HORNee" made me laugh. I don't know what it is with people in recent years trying to push hard stans out of fandoms. It's so weird to me. When I first got into internet fandoms (for the HP books and LotR movies because I am not young), all of my friends were hard stans. I've always preferred to be a lurker instead, but nobody bothered me about it. If you don't want to engage with hard stans, just keep scrolling. They're usually the ones minding their own business, anyway.

I guess it is seen as disrespectful now? But I think equating being HORNee to that automatically is reductive. Some soft stans infantilize and objectify idols in their own way, there is no moral high ground to be had here.

And you are right, no one is forcing you to interact with such discourse, just move along. More Jinki dick for me, I say. I don't want you sucking on the same lolli anyways.

SHINee's reaction when their s/o is upset with them

(may i please request shinee when their s/o is upset at them? like how they'll cheer them up or ask for forgiveness. ty!)

Requested by Anon

Hope you like it ❤��

Onew:

As an attentive soul, Onew possessed a keen sense of when something troubled you.

If he discovered that he was the cause of your somber mood, he would feel an immediate twinge of concern.

Despite his sometimes cautious nature, he would summon the courage to approach you gently.

With a soft tone and sincere concern reflected in his eyes, he would articulate his worry, asking if you were open to a conversation.

His apology would be heartfelt; filled with regret and a sincere desire to make amends for any missteps he had taken.

“I apologize if I did something to upset you. Can we talk about it, please?”

Jonghyun:

Jonghyun’s compassionate nature wouldn’t be able to bear the sight of your distress.

Whether the source of your pain is related to him or not, he would instantly rush to comfort you.

Enveloping you in his arms, he would shower you with sweet, heartfelt words, assuring you of his unwavering love.

Without hesitation, he would extend his apologies for any anguish he may have unintentionally caused.

Each word and action would be imbued with genuine affection, aiming to make you feel not only loved but safe.

“I’m so sorry, my love. Seeing you upset hurts me too. Let me make things right.”

Key:

Despite his tendency for stubbornness, when Key recognizes his fault in a disagreement, he wouldn’t hesitate to take responsibility.

Offering a sincere apology, he would pull you into a comforting embrace and stroke your hair, making sure to express his regret and a genuine commitment to learn and grow from the situation.

Beneath his pride, there lies a deep desire to never hurt you, and a willingness to mend any emotional wounds caused by his words or actions.

“Sorry, y/n. I realize that I was wrong. I want to do better and make things better between us.”

Minho:

Following a fight, big or small, Minho would grapple with regret and guilt.

Insisting on addressing the issue head-on, he would approach the conversation with a sincere urge for resolution.

Despite the discomfort, he wouldn’t hesitate to openly express his emotions, offering sweet apologies and showering you with affection in the process.

Prioritizing open and honest communication, he would ensure the two of you always understand each other, and undoubtedly your anger would melt away quickly because of his warm approach,

“I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused. Please, tell me how you feel so that I can make it up to you.”

Taemin:

Valuing peace most of all, Taemin wouldn’t shy away from taking responsibility when conflict arises, sometimes even when it may not entirely be his fault.

In light of a disagreement, he would approach you afterward with a sincere apology and speak about his commitment to making things right.

His heartfelt, and evidently guilt-ridden, words would convey a desire to mend any lingering distress and give his all to rebuild trust and understanding.

“I want to take responsibility even when it’s not just my fault. I don’t want to see you hurt. I’m very sorry, y/n.”

The other day, an Anon for @reflections-in-a-critical-eye asked about SHINee 2Min lore, and Anon was referred here for further info, lol. Well, I'm not sure there is lore per se, but I can give a mini rear-view mirror take on 2Min.

Spoiler: here's 2023 Minho staring at Taemin.

The early years give a beautiful vibe of dongsaeng/hyung puppy love. They're just absolutely adorable. Minho is Taemin's closest hyung in age, and Minho has mentioned that until Taemin showed up, he was the baby.

Shippers call this moment c. 2010 the "Koala Hug." 2Min were celebrating Minho doing an extreme vaulting challenge. Yes, you read that right.

However, that vibe eventually gets tinged by SM playing with Taemin's gender presentation.

When Taemin is given extensions and suddenly bombarded with men telling him he looks like a woman etc, Minho is one of the people to confidently say that Taemin is "pretty to begin with" so there is nothing to be done about it. I always read that as him almost being prideful over it; Minho definitely likes the idea of Taemin being prettier than girl groups or his work beating out that of girl groups (read into that how you want, lol), but I think he liked Taemin exactly how he was from the get go, which is cry-inducing really.

Here's Taemin wearing Minho's father's scarf c. 2012. Okay, I guess that's pretty "lore" -ish.

If you were to go back and look at shipper blogs and live journals from 2013/2014, you would see some 2Min fans getting upset that their ship has sunk. There was this idea that when Taemin became an adult, he put away childish things (and non cis-het things) and that included Minho (lol). Many perceived Taemin had switched to a more manly look/concept, and/or that he really wanted to shed his gender neutral or ambiguous traits/looks.

Dream Girl was uh, really something.

It's true that in 2013, we see a more boyish Taemin versus Sherlock Taemin. He's also older and filling out and indeed, becoming a young adult. Interestingly, he does We Got Married (let's not go there) and goes on to start his solo career in 2014.

But I think what this "lore," or shipper narrative, reveals is how easy it was for shippers to slot 2Min into a sailing ship because they perceived Taemin to be more feminine to Minho's masculine, thus upholding heteronormative ideas of romance even in a supposedly gay "couple" - a common trait of same-sex shipping that although nuanced by certain cultural factors is still often a staple of same-sex shipping and related fanworks.

Fast-forwarding to mid-2018, we have a clingy if uneven 2Min. By the end of 2019, we have a somewhat wistful 2Min who like to attend each other's events and make grand gestures in front of the crowd.

In late 2020, we have Minho driving for hours on the day of his discharge, in uniform, to head directly to Taemin's taping for Idea at one of the TV networks in Korea. The rest of SHINee are there, and they treat us to an IG live of their reunion. 2Min are cute and a little cuddly - it's clear they missed one another. 🥹

2018 2Min have great hair colors.

What were 2021 2Min like? Friendly, feisty, and in the end, a little romantic/bromantic (pick your poison). 2Min fighting or annoying one another happened, but by the time Taemin enlisted, it was clear Minho was an emotional rock for him to some degree. And when Taemin was unwell, it was Minho who spoke to us first and then began updating us at the 14th anniversary party, with Key and Onew also speaking.

2021 2Min was also this level crazy

So, we reach the present. What are 2Min's vibes these days?

A little hands-on. Rather comfortable. Even Steven. Affectionate.

They're getting along so famously everyone is noticing.

And they're just very very cute.

There's so much more I could say, but I hope this is a good welcome aboard the good ship 2Min. The ship has strong winds and calm waters after 15+ years at sea.😌

Remember last week when I got anon hate for saying I like onews arms lmaooooo

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

how do we feel about this change for taemin :/ that's a nugu company lol they don't manage anyone relevant, i fear a downgrade in quality now. i trust he knows what he's doing but...

I don't know how to feel anon. I really don't know...

I don't know the ins and outs, the details, if this was to be expected or a total shock for the fans. I'm still waiting for pptm to come online 👀

I know Taemin has been a bit vocal lately about workers' conditions and it's no secret that the past year has not been the best for SM. Could it be that it contributed to Taemin and Onew not renewing their individual contracts? Maybe? Or perhaps each had other reasons and the decision was made some time ago.

I admit I'm not familiar either with this smaller company, but it's definitely not SM Entertainment, which regardless of all criticism and things that have/are happening, it's an actual name in the industry. They have the means to sustain an artist like Taemin, like they did for the past years. He's among their most succesful solo acts. Well, until now it seems.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how it unfolds.

(official) ONEW 3RD EP [FLOW] — NEMO ver. Album Details

[jjongslight]

i dont know what era we're in, where i want to steal every outfit minho wears, taemin looks like jinki at a glance and i go "what ARE you wearing" at key (this bit is not new, what's new is that i dont then go, "cool, actually" at a second look)

This is the most accurate description of this current era of faSHIon.

Ming has been constantly on point since he came back from the military. His dick energy is dicking.

And people can debate me on this, but I feel like Tae and Jinki have similar aesthetics and energy. And it's not a twinsie thing, it's an emo energy thing that make them kindred in terms of artistry and self-expression. It does not show up in the same forms, but it's the same underlying current.

And yeah I don't know what Key is trying lately, but he seems to be in his comfy grandma era and I can't be mad at it. He is a cutie.

[guangchuans]

over three months after eternal was released how are we feeling about the album, how do you think it holds up in comparison to taemin's older releases? iirc you weren't the biggest fan of it when it dropped (understandable) but i'm curious if it grew on you over time, or if you think of it simply as a more forgettable part of his otherwise excellent discography

anon let's kiss

i'll be honest, i haven't really listened to it much after the first two times - i'm not a person that lets music "grow on me", if i dislike it i leave it at that </3

i also have a fault of always enjoying artist's earlier releases no matter how well i like the new stuff; i was the biggest fun of hozier's self-titled album and when he began dropping new music i wasn't really interested in it; my favourite album from my favourite polish artist is one from 2008; my top 3 shinee albums are all pre-2015 (lucifer, odd, romeo), i don't like onew's new stuff etc, you get it.

i think a part of it that many seem to reject is... the budget is significantly less. the writers, the producers, the concept team, it's all different people now. i disagree with the "taemin is taemin no matter what statement" to an extent bc i think it completely disregards the immense work his team put in creating his image. i say to an extent bc of course he himself will be... his weird self <3 and his creative input isn't lost on me! i see it, i get it!

and of course things are different now. he went from a the big three company to well. A Company. in the long run, i don't think this album is very good, but ultimately... it kind of couldn't be. taemin has to find his new place and that's understandable. i think it'll take even a few years to "gain back" that trademark taemin sound.

to not sound all negative - i do enjoy crush and deja vu! but i'll be honest - i don't listen to the album. it's just not something that grabs my attention naturally. i stick with move, i stick with ngda act 2, i stick with his japanese stuff (speaking of which, i Need japanese releases from him again).

with all that in mind as well, i won't allow myself to miss him in concert. i very much want to go to germany (closest to me) and to see him live despite all that i just said lol.

in general... not liking one release from an artist you have loved for years doesn't mean i suddenly see him as lesser for his work. it just means, things are changing. and that's fine! i'll still stick around to see what he has in store for the future bc i know it's big things. but i won't pretend to unconditionally enjoy songs that i don't like :) i'm too old and too not-on-twitter for that :P

Re: shinee anon Actually, everything this anon mentioned happened after Taemin, who was the last one to enlist, returned from MS. So yeah, they all completed the enlistment, and then last year Key confirmed they renewed the group contract. When Taemin came back, they had a comeback and did some concerts mainly in Korea and Japan. Then Onew took a couple of months off due to health reasons, but since we had the confirmation that the group contract had been renewed, everyone was expecting a new comeback this year and a world tour (doesn't this sound familiar) but this year Taemin and Onew left SM, and while I think most people expected this to only affect their individual careers, it has taken a toll on the group activities. If my memory serves me correctly, when Taemin was on Suchwita he spoke about wanting Shinee to have longevity as a group, so as much as we know the decision they made was for the best, it's a bit sad to witness how things have been unrolling this year. As this anon mentioned, they still talk about and see each other constantly, you can see there's actual affection in their relationship, but Shinee the group will probably never be what it was. The "group" activities now only include Minho and Key, the only members still under SM. And I have to disagree with anon here, seeing what Shinee has come down to doesn't really give me hope for BTS future. Even though I no longer care about them as a group and I think they would be better off taking separate paths, at least temporarily, I just know that seeing some members carry on with the group activities, acting like everything's fine and normal would leave such a bitter taste in my mouth. I hope they can figure things out differently.

I think what that anon was saying when they were talking about having hope for BTS future is because they’d take the same path as Shinee with having a “final comeback” and then go back to doing individual work. (I’m just asumming they’re a pjm though)

I feel like the fallout of BTS doing as much promising as they have been would be bigger cause armys have really taken it to heart like it’s just set in stone and there’s no reality where BTS not actively being a group would exist beyond 2025. Cause there’s only so many times you can try to console yourselves with “trust BTS.” before reality starts sinking in.

BTS potentially acting like it’s still pre 2021 would also not sit right with me either because for one thing, it would just feel entirely too forced. And like they’re doing it to placate armys so they wouldn’t feel like something is off. But something also tells me they won’t. They were upfront about being stretched too thin/hitting a creative block and needing a break. I think it’ll be the same case when they come to the conclusion that they might be prioritizing their individual careers for the foreseeable future as well.

Jinki was definitely drinking a lot starting in the early 2010s and stopping after his scandal for the obvious reasons that he got a massive reality check and needed to get his shit together quick. That's one reason why I'm always a bit bothered when people say he doesn't really do much as a leader. He did so much and with so little support from SM that he coped with it through substance abuse which almost cost him his entire career. I also think it's funny when some people say he's the most boring or nice member although I understand why they'd get that impression. I think back in the day Jinki had the wildest private life out of all of them. Maybe only rivaled by Taemins constant sneaking out of the dorm to have sex with half of Seoul. But at least Taemin WAS being sneaky. Jinki was just out on the streets regularly with girlfriends drinking and smoking

Hey Anon. Before I carry on with my answer I just want to preference with I am not picking on you and you're always welcome to write in.

I think we need to be careful with eating up English language gossip on K celebrities because this stuff is like 3rd and 4th hand at best and every OP has a motive. Earlier this week I posted a list of Taemin rumours. They can't all be true.

Does it seem obvious from content that Onew was drinking to much for a long time before his likely alcoholism became out of control? Yes. Can he still have a been a great leader through this/despite this? Yes, absolutely. High functioning alcoholism is a thing for a reason. I'm just weary of supporting narratives that say SM caused his alcoholism. That's not a thing. Addiction is a disease.

Also, Taemin admitted he sneaked out of the dorm a lot. He admitted it was often to spend time with Kai and a lot of that had to do with staying late to practice at SM or who knows what hijinks. Taemin was mainly a minor when he actually lived at the dorm. Taemin has definitely slutted it up, but I think claims are overblown and unlikely to coincide with his youngest years in the group. Jonghyun was the one known for 2 dates or more on the same day, btw.

Anyway, I'm not trying to poo-poo your sentiments but am skeptical of these old gossip narratives. There's one about Taemin being bullied in school and members having to walk to school and it's just 100% unfounded. Yet everyone accepts it as fact. Something to watch out for.
