The unsettling longing of OnlyOneOf's nabi

This post is partially a repetition of what I said in my seOul cOllectiOn video a few months back, but as I haven't gotten much feedback on this beyond one person who read the song the same way I did, I want to present my theory about the song's content and message again.

To be clear, I don't believe there is a correct or incorrect interpretation, and I don't know what the songwriters intended. I just want to shed light on one of the possible ways to view it.

On the surface, nothing about nabi is sinister. Be it the music, the vocals or the lyrics, everything paints a lonesome, tender, earnest picture. It's a personal story of the narrator who misses his lover, and believes these feelings to be pure. We aren't given any hints as to why the relationship ended and what led to him having to wake up alone. By contrast, the two other b-sides from this album that talk about a parting, mirage and blueblueseOul, both reflect on the past and what led to the relationship's end. If there is a larger story in nabi, it sneakily hid itself in the references.

It strikes me that a song like nabi, seemingly so simple and delicate, makes references to not one, not two, but three songs about relationships that aren't very loving and wholesome: chrOme hearts, byredO and picassO. Coincidentally, all three of these songs seem to be from the perspective of artists. Considering that the English version of dOra maar follows nabi on the album, I'll be treating nabi as if it was the next installment in the art pop series.

"If you feel me just call my name" is a line that nabi shares with chrOme hearts where the narrator says his love is unbreakable, and even though they keep trying to get away from each other, the relationship keeps replaying in front of their eyes again and again. "She left the perfume from the moment" - is there anyone who didn't immediately think of byredO, the song described as being about a love that becomes an unhealthy obsession? And in picassO, there's a line "Baby, I'll brush up on your wings". In nabi, the lines about wings, and simultaneously the two lines most crucial to my reading are: "I'm drunk on the color of your wings, come to me, don't ever change this color," and "Please don't spread your wings and stay still, don't fly away."

I find it interesting that dOra maar, while from the perspective of the abuser, doesn't try to hide how toxic the relationship it portrays is. You hear the lines "You're just my grieving model" and "You're just a weeping woman," and you understand there's something bad going on there. In my opinion, this comes from the fact that the narrator of picassO and dOra maar is a narcissist. He doesn't realise the things he says are cruel, he thinks he's doing her a favor by reminding her of who she really is. To paraphrase his intentions: "I like you the way you are and I want you to be yourself around me, but the way you are right now isn't actually you, so I don't like it. I know your true colors better than you know yourself, because I have the ability to see and draw your inside."

Both picassO and dOra maar are filtered through picassO's perspective, and what this results in is a picture of a toxic relationship obvious to the listener. We sit in the same room as dOra and picassO as he paints her, we see his creative process, his self-centered pursuit of inspiration, his lack of self-reflection over how he views his lover, what words he uses to describe her to her face, and we understand she's being mistreated. Once he's left alone though, all we have is a singular perspective of one half of the couple who isn't self-aware enough to realise why this happened. He's just missing the times that passed and wishes to go back.

nabi doesn't contain any of the roughness exhibited by the other songs. The narrator doesn't use any harsh words towards his lover, he's not angry at her for leaving, but rather quietly desperate for her to come back. He's neither taking the blame for what led to the breakup nor blaming his lover. To contrast that once again, mirage and blueblueseOul show that the narrators acknowledge their own flaws and actions contributed to their loneliness. The narrator of nabi doesn't seem to realise he's the reason for his own loneliness.

What nabi shows us is a fantasy of a peaceful morning with his lover after the narrator woke up from a dream in which they were flying together like flower petals. He's laying in bed, appreciating the sunlight coming in through his window, imagining she's there to tell him that the view looks dreamy. The song shows his gentle artistic soul, his ability to appreciate the little things in life, and that he holds his lover in his memory as a butterfly with beautifully colored wings. These are the wings he painted with a brush, adding whatever color he wanted to reflect his perception of her and create a masterpiece. It was the masterpiece which received all of his love and affection, leaving none for the person behind the canvas. Now that the subject of the painting realised she can find the color of her wings on her own, she spread them and flew to freedom, and he misses the times when she was contained in his vision.

He doesn't reflect on the fact that he continues to be dismissive of her emotions and self-expression, and he has no regard for how she might be feeling now that she's finally free. He feels like his hands are tied in this new, scary reality, so he's waiting for her to reach out and fall asleep by his side again. At the same time though, he says he feels like he's blooming on his own. He's sad, a little discouraged, but for the first time since picassO he's calm, gentle, and he's finding his inner peace. Rather than come to the conclusion that he was miserable in the relationship and that he could create happiness for himself once he pushes through this initial period of sadness, he just wants her to call his name again so they can return to what's familiar.

And who's to say she won't come back if he just continues to patiently wait? For all that we know, her side of the story could be something like hidOi OtOkO - once they take a break from each other and he starts to soften, once again embodying his utmost romantic self, she lets herself hope this time will be different. And, inevitably, everything will replay in front of their eyes again.

•pairing- established relationship, softdom!yeo x sub!reader

•genre- fluff, smut

•synopsis- you and yeosang can’t get enough of each other after the first night of your honeymoon. you would love to repeat it over and over and over-

•warnings- honeymoon, penetrative sex, oral sex(reader rec) , dirty talk (yeo yeo), they are in loved (married duhhh), yeosang is a sweetheart in this ofc ofc, lots of kissing, praise, hickeys, mentions of hickeys, yeosang is whipped(so is reader bffr), pet names (baby, love, princess) (yeo, sangie), let me know what else <3

“yeosang? where’d you go?” you called out to your husband in the soft light. the morning hitting you like a truck. you did not want to wake up.

you did not want these moments to end. you wanted to be stuck in bed with yeosang as much as you could. you loved everything about this. you never wanted your honeymoon to end.

“just went to the bathroom my love!” he said in a slight yell. he knew you could hear him. he sounded so sweet. he was the kindest to you. you couldn’t understand how someone could be so kind and so sexy? you couldn’t get enough of him. you groaned as you waited for him to come back to bed.

“you took so long-“ yeosang had you in his arms before you could finish your sentence.

“i missed you while i was gone too. how did you sleep? this bed is pretty big.” he pulled you close so he could peck your lips.

“i slept good yeo. i dreamed about last night.” you said of course hinting to the sexually eventful night you and yeosang had for your first night of your honeymoon. he blushed at your words as he kissed your cheek.

“yeah? tell me about it.” you looked away from him with a half laugh. “i can show you again.” you turned to him with a smirk. “gladly.” he leaned over you to kiss you. every time his lips met yours you fell more in love. he held you in the most loving way.

he took his time as he kissed you deeply. all of the wonderful things he said two days ago at your wedding. he had never cried much when you two were dating but the way he watched you as you walked down the isle.

his eyes were watering and when you got closer to him you could see the tears that were forming in his eyes. he couldn’t forget to tell you how beautiful you looked. he couldn’t get over that you were each others. he kissed you that day like he never wanted to leave you.

he had always kissed you with so much love. thinking about the past couple days with yeosang made you incredibly happy. you have never loved someone more. and you could tell how much he loved you. yeosang continued to kiss you in bed before gently moving atop you. he was gentle as ever. he had a soft hold on your body as he also held himself up over you. he kisses your lips and slowly trailed down to your neck.

he knew everything about you by now. three years of loving you. he knows exactly what you love. he knows all of your weak spots and things you like him to do to you.

yeosang makes sure you more than satisfied. especially last night. he spent hours making love to you. over and over. you couldn’t believe how you got so lucky with someone so gentle and perfect. he was actually everything you wanted and more.

“make love to me.” you said to him as you finally got impatient with just the kisses he was giving you. “you read my mind sweetheart. can i taste you first? so pretty.” he trailed off as he played with the hem of your shorts. he kissed your cheek as you nodded at him.

“please.” you knew yeosang knew how to work wonders with his tongue. you still remember the first time he ate you out when you two just started dating. he was far too good. he helped you out of your shorts and your tank top. you laid bare in front of yeosang as he took his shorts down.

his toned body looked so good in the early morning light. you couldn’t believe he was touching you. you fell under his gaze on you. “did you hear what i said princess?” he teased you with the nickname. you told him you don’t like it but both of you know you’re lying. you almost got lost in your thoughts again.

“mm- no i was looking at you baby.” you whispered to him with a smile. “spread your legs for me.” he giggled with a kiss against your head. you opened your legs with the guidance from yeosang’s strong hands. he grip on your legs was tight but he knew it wasn’t enough to hurt you. he moved down so the he was in between your legs.

“all wet from kissing me princess? i love how well your body responds to me.” he kisses up your legs. giving each of your legs attention. he gives your thighs soft kisses. he pays attention to your body and your facial expressions. he knows how sensitive you get. he positioned your legs of his head. he licked a thick stripe against your core.

your body jolted in surprise. the sudden pleasure had you whining yeosang’s name already. he loved how quick you fell apart for him. he held your legs at the perfect angle. you couldn’t help but to spread your legs further. you wanted all of him, you wanted him to devour you. he wanted the same.

“always taste so sweet. sweetest girl.” he made out with your cunt in a way that had you moving every second. he tongue was rough in the best way possible. he sucked against your clit and fucked you on his tongue. he loves how squirmy you are.

“yeo—sangie— i think i’m gonna-“ he knew he would not respond to your words. he needed to make his beautiful wife cum first. your legs tried to close but yeosang quickly pushed them back open. he needed to continue to eat you out. he wanted you to cum in his mouth more than anything. he played with you clit as he fucked you with his tongue. you saw stars honestly when you came.

your whole body shook in pleasure as yeosang let all the praise slip from his mouth. “pretty thing, look so pretty when you cum for me.” he rubbed your clit through your high.

“how was that? you feeling okay?” he needed to make sure you were still feeling all right. he was always like this. he would immediately be so sweet and gentle with caring for you after. how could you have the perfect man before you. “i feel— good yeo. i want you still.” you reached for him as he came up from between your legs.

“i want you too, gorgeous.” he leaned down to kiss you. you could taste yourself on his tongue but neither of you cared. you were so needy for him at this point. you could feel his bulge as he kissed you. it was directly pressed against your core. it made you grow even more impatient.

“baby— i need it. don’t make me wait.” you whined at yeosang and he pecked your lips to hush you. “so impatient. i will never deny your cute begging though baby.” he pulled him dick out of his pants with a soft smile at you.

you couldn’t take your eyes off him. you never could. he was breathtaking in the soft sheets. he gave his cock a couple of strokes before he lined up with your core. he wanted to tease you a little bit. he rubbed his tip gently at your folds. he loved how you whined more for him. he didn’t want to torture you too much. he pushed inside of you slowly, he watches as your face contorted in pleasure. he didn’t push in further which made you groan.

“p-please yeo- i want— you so bad.” he kissed your head. “okay baby— tell me if you want to stop.” he kissed you as he bottomed out. his thrusts were slow at first. drawing moans from both of you. yeosang’s voice sounded so sexy every time he made a noise. his groans and moans making you wetter than ever. you felt yeosang suck against your neck. his hips moving in a perfect rhythm. he was hitting your g-spot over and over.

“sangie- so deep— i’m gonna cum.” he held your waist as you continued to fuck you. “already princess? hold on— wait for me baby.” his hips move at a fast pace but he touches and praises are so gentle.

“c-coming- cum with me my love.” you moved your hips with his and he groaned in pleasure. “fuck baby— just like that. always so perfect— i love you.” yeosang’s voice was right in your ear. he sounded so sexy. his words help you both cum. both of you coming at the same time. yeosang came deep inside you. both of you had your bodies molded together. his head was pressed against yours. he panted as you both came down from your highs.

“i love you so much yeo. my handsome husband.” you smiled as he kissed your face. “i love you too. my beautiful wife.” you two laid in each others arms for a moment.

“let’s shower honey.” you suggested with a gentle smile. yeosang was looking at you with the biggest sparkle in his eyes. “i would never say no to that. let’s go beautiful.”

a/n: hi my loves!!! sorry for the late post lmfaooo. i said i was gonna post last night then i feel asleep 😭😭😭

anyways!! pls tell me what u guys thot and don’t forget to read the other members versions!! i love you guys <3 ily i love yeosang

[skinzchoerim]

(Op I'm sorry I'm doing this on your horny post but I needed to get this analysis out somewhere)

Honestly, considering that usually the Korean and Japanese versions are close translations and especially all the English parts stay the same, it's odd how different this version is...

chrOme arts was about wanting someone to fall in love with them and saying all these beautiful things, promising an all-consuming love that's gentle and understanding, while the underlying vibe was pretty obsessive since they weren't going to give up no matter what

chrOme hearts seems to be a sequel once they're in a relationship and it's really unstable because the true nature is now being revealed (an unbreakable heart that's unfeeling and uncaring), but a few parts, especially the first verse (liking the roughness and going back constantly as the same situations replay), seem like they're from the other person's perspective after they give in and then are stuck in an abusive relationship, numb to the painful moments and liking the more heated ones

Also both chrOme arts and hearts could be from hidoi otoko's perspective, showing his method of making someone stay with him and want to go back to him even though he doesn't show them actual care and breaks all the promises of gentle love

Chrome hearts……these lyrics…….

Why BUB actually fits into OOO's catalogue

Bump Up Business has been criticised for many things, and don’t get me wrong, it’s far from perfect, but there is one question I have heard a lot: “Why did OnlyOneOf of all people choose to do this? Doesn’t this show play exactly into the thing we have been defending them of?”

My own answer to this is yes and no. But let me explain. 

In this I will not be discussing what the writers had in mind, because I don’t know them. But I’ll talk about why I think it makes sense OnlyOneOf would tell this kind of story, whether they actually had any say in choosing this drama or not.

The main argument for most peoples' criticism I’ve seen is “This show is about/glorifying queerbaiting.” But is it really? Both of the characters are already queer. Jihoon has dated at least one man and is very aware of his own sexuality. Eden is quickly established as being very insecure in his own sexuality, not because he’s straight, but because he’s queer and finds that hard to accept. So the show is about queer characters. 

Okay, so how does the queerbaiting fall into this? Obviously there is queerbaiting present. Their company practically forces them to do it. Eden is very reluctant, but agrees after the company gives him an ultimatum. Jihoon is less reluctant, but also in a tight spot. He has fallen off and this is seemingly his last chance to save his career, something he wouldn’t give up even for the man he loved. So the characters take no pleasure in the queerbaiting, but is it a problem to them? Yes, actually. It is made clear that they have trouble telling apart what is real feelings and what’s just work. In episode 4 for example Jihoon asks Eden if he is struggling with their concept after Eden revealed how insecure he is in his sexuality. The question comes from a place of caring and honesty. Eden then answers that he is okay because it’s "just work". Since emotions and their hidden identities are now part of their work it gets all muddled and confusing for them. 

You might say now “But that’s not the problem with queerbaiting! They’re leading their fans on!” And from a fan’s perspective I agree. They are leading them on. But this isn’t about fans, this show is about idols. What would it be like for a queer idol to work in an industry where you are urged to act queer but to never be queer? How would that affect your personal life?

In the drama the queer characters hide their identity. Even after Hyunbin spread these awful rumours about Jihoon, they don’t reveal their relationship. Evidently having rumours about being with women is still better than revealing that you’re gay. The entire time they keep any real relationships under wraps. 

On top of that, in a way Eden has to out himself for his job. Even though he of course isn’t allowed to be actually queer, acting this lovey-dovey with another man in public sure must feel like he’s coming out and he is clearly uncomfortable with that. Interviewers and netizens are constantly questioning their relationship as well. Are they gay? Are they straight? Do they naturally act that way? Is the company forcing them? Having all your actions be scrutinised and dissected like this, especially as a closeted queer person is terrifying. 

Once again I’m not claiming that the writers wanted to represent queer idols’ struggles, but I think you can understand how this might be able to be read that way, especially by idols themselves. 

Now how does this fit in with OnlyOneOf’s usual work, besides the obvious queer element? For that I’d like to remind you of June 2022. That is the month we started off the undergrOund idOl project. If you’re like me, then that name probably made you question it. What does it mean? I remember theories about it being about struggling as a relatively unknown group and things along those lines. Luckily they gave us hints in several articles by letting us know that the series is about “the inner side of idols who shine on stage”. Okay, cool! So is it about struggles with fame? Like a glimpse behind the mask? Let’s look at the videos! Hm… Not much about idol life here actually… They’re all just.. queer? How curious. Almost as if they want to highlight the queerness so many idols or celebrities have to hide?

So OnlyOneOf, a group whose behaviours and sexualities are constantly being dissected and who is famous for telling and highlighting genuine queer stories, even connecting those stories to what idols have to hide, choose a drama that is about queer idols who have to navigate their queerness in an industry that demands “fake queerness” but has no room for real queer people. This doesn’t actually seem that surprising to me. Does it to you?

Last comments:

I don’t think that BUB is a critical masterpiece tastefully portraying the harsh reality of queer celebrities. I think that the producers and writers did not do a good job and that OnlyOneOf’s own work is a lot better. But I can absolutely see how this story fits into the larger picture and why this could be appealing to them. I don’t know if they even had any say in doing the drama to begin with. But I just wanted to provide a different point of view. Maybe someone found this interesting at least <3
