saw u'll be doing celeb birth chart readings 🥹 pls do seonghwa's! it's his birthday tomorrow, april 3rd. he's born in 1998, at 12:13pm. 💗 He's born in Samcheonpo-si (now Sacheon-si) in Gyeongsangnam-do.

Thank you in advance, i'll look forward to it! 💗

The astrology of Seonghwa

Background: Seonghwa (성화) is a South Korean singer and actor under KQ Entertainment. He is a member of the boy group ATEEZ and the project group SPARKLING under the name Seyoung (세영).

Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Mars in the 10th house (Aries)

I'm not familiar with Ateez so I looked him up on KProfiles and I saw his nickname is literally MARS so the Aries stellium makes perfect sense lmaoo. Correct me if i'm wrong but Ateez are really known for their powerful choreographies and stage presence so his MC in Aries makes sense too.

His Sun is conjunct his mercury in the 10th house. Mercury can rule over communication so it in the 10th house shows he has a career that involves communication of some sort or speak. It being at 19 degree (Libra) can show a career with music and such.

Saturn rules over restrictions and limitations but also rules over steady growth. On KProfiles I saw that he was rejected before being in Ateez a few times. He trained for 2 years which is quite a long time!

Saturn conjunct mars also reinforces that being in the public eye took steady time and work but it all came into fruition!

Jupiter in the 9th house (Pisces)

Yes Ateez has a huge international fanbase despite not being that well known in Korea. Pisces can rule over music, creativity and illusions. Ateez has a pirate/fantasy concept right? His Jupiter is trine his ascendant (Cancer at 22 degrees) which brings him good luck after his struggles and hard work.

Chiron and Pluto in the 5th house (Scorpio and Sag)

I feel like he must have experienced some pain or wounds from the entertainment industy considering it's at 17 degrees (Leo/Fame Degree) It's also trine his ascendant too which further enforces that he may has went though something. I won't try diving deep into it because I feel like someone's trauma is none of my buisness. His Pluto is in there at 7th degree (Libra degree!) So again his chart keeps hinting that.

Vertex in the 5th house (Sagittarius)

Yeah this man was born to be an idol. Nothing more nothing less. It's at the 5th degree (Leo again!) and a ton of celebrities have Sag placements in his chart.

Asteroid "Fama" (408) in the 12th house (Cancer)

People tend to forget that the 12th house can also rule over creativity and talents as well. It's at the 12th degree (Pisces) which again like I said this man was born to be an idol.

Part of Fortune in Libra

Ok but this man is fineeee though! (Ok I shouldn't get ahead of myself lol). So nothing much needs to be said. It's at the 13th degree too.

To conclude this reading, He is born to be an idol but has to work hard for his success (His North Node is in Virgo at the 10th degree!). His chart makes me admire what a determined, hardworking guy this is and I wish him nothing but a great Happy Birthday!

Please let me know who you'd want me to review next!

Langblr Reactivation Challenge Week 1 Day 6: Idioms

I have learned so many idioms, both formally in classes and from just listening to friends, and then I proceed to never use them…

Anyway, Korean has two types of idioms: 관용구/관용어/관용표현 (idiom) and 사자성어* (4 [Chinese] character idiom). There are also 속담 (proverbs) which are often included in the same category.

*Many of these are also called 고사성어 or “idioms originating from ancient events.” But some 4 character idioms are completely modern, so they aren’t all 고사성어.

관용구 - Idioms

1. 삼천포로 빠지다 - literally to fall into Samcheonpo, this phrase means to go off on a tangent. (Samcheonpo is a port town in the southern part of Korea)

예) 잘 나가다 삼천포로 빠졌네…

사자성어 - Four Character Idioms

2. 일석이��� (一石二鳥) - literally one stone, two birds; just like the English phrase kill two birds with one stone meaning to do one task that accomplishes two goals

예) 춤을 배우면 몸도 건강해지고 친구도 사귈 수 있으니까 일석이조예요~

속담 - Proverbs

3. 울며 겨자 먹기 - literally to cry and eat mustard; similar to the English phrase bite the bullet, meaning to force yourself to do something you don’t want to do

예) 나는 F2비자 갖기 위해 울며 겨자 먹기로 토픽을 봤다.

I can’t with Na Jung taking any of Yoon Jin’s dating advice seriously when she spent 99.9% of her life stalking Seo Tai Ji before she met and started dating Samcheonpo.

"My life wasn't special at first. In the city of Seoul where more than ten million people live, like a miracle, I met special people. Us young country bumpkins' lives became bustling and noisy, and in the end, our lives became very special. We spent very special times together at the Sinchon Boarding House. We cried. We laughed. We met. We separated. We had heartaches. Even though each of us had different memories, encounters, and loves, we were together in the same place at the same time, just like miracle.

Even though we were poor salary men who needed to suck up to the world, we were still the Generation X. Even though she's a nagging mom now. She was once a hot-blooded youth that went crazy for boys. In the history of mankind, we were the only blessed generation that experienced both analog and digital cultures. The music of 70's and '80s movies.

I'm reflecting on myself for once thinking they were old-fashioned and boring. Those music and movies were not just music and movies. Those were our youth and the good old days. I've come to realize it only after getting older. It's December 28, 2013. In four days, we're turning 40. To the all 40-year-olds in the republic of Korea, and to all of us who survived the tough '90s, I dedicate these words. We lived through such amazing days. Our youth shone bright. We were passionate about love.

Do you remember those days? We were once very hip. So as we embark on another possibly difficult time of our lives, I'm proposing that we live through it with our burning passion. We were very passionate and innocent. And I miss that time so much. Do you hear me? If you can hear me, then reply. My dear '90s."

Best of the best of Reply series

Maybe I was so late to watch these now, but I'm glad I found them. These are incredible. The ups and downs in each scene, the transition between scenes, the storyline to keep us following and accepting the idea. Just brilliant 👏🏻

I'm not going to make any connection between Shin PD's projects for now. But I'm just gonna share my favourites of the Reply series.

PS: Gonna share my favourites of HP too, soon.

Let's start with Reply 1997:

This Lee-Shin duo's first drama project showed us mainly focusing about husband hunting, with the candidates are between Yoo Yoon Jae (Seo In Guk) and his brother Yoo Tae Woong. They were so alike, their favourite things, and what they did to Sung Si Won (Jung Eun Ji), the girl. But I won't tell the whole story though 😋

Best of R97, my version:

Seo In Guk as main lead ehehehe ☺ in love with him

Main OST by the leading cast. I love the duet of Seo In Guk and Jung Eun Ji 💕

Perfect character of Yoo Yoon Jae. I mean, see his friends 😂 and how he is so into Si Won, sacrifice anything, but never change.

Then, they develop the story, the way of visualizing, into a better one, Reply 1994:

If you like love triangle story, you'll got it more on this. How someone could be so insensitive, how someone whole heartedly into someone since the very first, how someone could accept someone else's decision and live their life. Still focusing on husband hunting, but from the first episode you have to guess between five men above, slowly until the last episode, each of them would be eliminated one by one.

This is a story about Trash-Najung-Chilbong, alongside with sweet fate of Samcheonpo-Yoon Jin, and a journey to find "the one" of Haitai and Binggrae.

Best of R94, my version:

Lucky Najung being in between of a future Neurosurgeon and a Baseball superstar. Both of them had flaws, but surely a successful one in their career.

More warm story there, like how Samcheonpo won Yoon Jin's heart by taking care of her mom. And vice versa, simply because Yoon Jin keep her promise to Samcheonpo's dad and easily connected to his mom. Oh this one is my fave too, when Binggrae's dad "blabbering" about his son who was in medical school, and it made him wanna try to be back there, to prove to his bad tempered dad.

The idea of taking care of each other being the main theme here. Because the setting is in a boarding house, so it showed us how they slowly became a family, by taking care of each other.

All main casts sing an OST 😍 The JungWoo-YeonSeok-HoJun trio, SungKyun-DoHee duet, Go Ara herself, and even Baro rapping with his boyband.

The OSTs itselves. Maybe because the timeline gap was not to far, so the soundtrack options fit the scene very well, now and before. I love all the OSTs 💕

The last maybe the best of all, from every perspective, Reply 1988:

This one, I think, is the most complete one. You can learn about love in every way. Love between man and woman. Love between friends. Love between parents and children. Love between parents itself. Love between brother and sister. Love between adults.

Best of R88, my version:

The messages in every episode, goes down to your heart. The everyday scenes are so related to our daily activities, even a simple one have a deep meaning. I didn't even realise that I have to guess who is the adult man beside adult DeokSun. Because the story didn't only make us focus on that.

You may be a little bit annoyed by the environment at first, but the story built up slowly.

Each family have their own story that could break your heart but also warm it in the other time. Like how cold Taek and his Dad relationship, but they indeed love each other, they just didn't know how to express it. The opposite was SunWoo family that so lovely. Then they became one big family and complete each other.

So much prejudice here but it reminds us to not judge a book by its cover.

The old and classic theme, bring us far away back to 90s with the simplicity of happiness.

And those are my opinions about these series, although it didn't connected to each other directly, but the main concept and storyline, it's just awesome.

Revitalize the brand.

The world changes quickly. Consumers' tastes continue to change. These changes have a great influence on brands. Once popular brands fall into crisis, and once declining brands regain vitality. If a brand is judged to lose its power, there are two main choices. Whether to remove the brand and introduce another new brand that can replace it or revive the brand. Developing a new brand requires considerable investment and effort. Revitalization to revive declining brands is also not an easy task. But anyway, there are two options for product brands. Get rid of it and make a new one or revive it. Urban brands have different circumstances. There is only one option. You can't get rid of the city at all and introduce a new city. All that remains is brand reactivation.

The source of brand assets is largely composed of awareness and image. There are two sources of brand assets: awareness that tells how many people know the brand and how deep they are in their hearts and images that explain how people relate to the brand through what association they have with the brand. The way to reactivate a particular brand also results in modification of these two factors.

Expanding brand awareness and depth.

In the case of declining brands, what is problematic in terms of recognition is the breadth of recognition. Even if it is highly recognized, consumers often think of the brand only in certain situations. Therefore, letting consumers know that declining brands can be consumed more diversely than previously known or making them use them more often is a way to broaden brand awareness. For example, in the case of cereal brands, they persuade them that they can eat their products like snacks during the day, not just in the morning. One way is to develop a brand's new use. Arm & Hammer has created a new consumption behavior by presenting new uses such as deodorizing and whitening effects of its baking soda.

Improving the brand image.

Improving the brand image is to revitalize the brand through more fundamental changes. In order to improve the brand image, it is necessary to change the brand elements (naming, design, slogan, etc.) and position the brand anew. When changing brand elements, the most fundamental approach is to change the name. An example of a city brand is the change of the city name to Iksan after the Iri Station explosion in order not to continue to be called the name of a tragic event. A similar example is the change of the city name from Samcheonpo to Sacheon. Of course, both are exceptional cases. It is not easy to change the city name. In most cases, brand repository is performed to secure additional new customers without losing existing loyal customers. A case in point is the long-standing Bacchus campaign. It is continuously attempting to repository young people away from fatigue recovery drinks for older people. Urban brand revitalization strategies can be divided into brand reinforcement and repository.

Reinforcing

It is a strategy to strengthen the existing core value. The first way to revitalize the brand is to strengthen the 'width and depth of awareness'. The strategy is to maximize the charm of the city by further strengthening existing assets such as history, culture, and industrial factors that have represented the city.

Salzburg, Austria, is one of the cities that succeeded in branding by strengthening its existing core value. The existing asset was Mozart. The filming location of the movie Sound of Music was also in Salzburg. It was a city of Mozart and a city of sound of music. So, it was branded as the City of Music. The slogan was selected as the Stage of the World. Mozart was branded as a cultural and artistic city representing Europe, focusing on existing assets. The material of branding has greatly increased the contact point of focusing on music and Mozart and experiencing the brand. It has expanded cultural and artistic contents in various fields, centering on Mozart. Mozart's birthplace and statues were commercialized for tourism and sold exclusive products such as chocolate. The Salzburg Music Festival was held every year from late July to the end of August. It also developed a tour product for Sound of Music filming sites.

Salzburg, along with Vienna, the capital of Austria, shared the symbol of a city of world music, symbolizing Europe's representative cultural and artistic city. The core of the brand reinforcement strategy is that the material of the brand experience should be focused on one and the contact point of the brand experience should be spread in various ways. The principle of "narrow to widen" also applies here.

Repositioning

It is a strategy to increase the potential of existing brand assets by interpreting existing assets differently and applying the interpretation to substantive improvement. Therefore, it induces consumers to strongly think of new associations, words, and sentences about existing assets. It is a strategy that draws new awareness by activating potential value. It is to find the value that the city has potentially held, activate it according to the trend of the times, and repository it as a new core value.

There is a successful case of urban branding that repositories potential values. Germany's Essen region, where the Ruhr River, a tributary of the Rhine River, flows, is a place where coal, steel, and Chinese chemicals are concentrated. Zollverein, the northern coal mining city of Essen, has always been an industrial center in Germany since coal mining began. In the 1980s, as coal mines became less economical, many coal mines were closed. The vitality of the city has disappeared, and only environmental pollution and unemployment problems remain. The world's largest coal mine, which produced 1 million tons of coal per year, was closed, and the remaining buildings were just scraps of scrap metal, making the city atmosphere even more gloomy.

The area near the Zolperine tried to solve the problem by demolishing industrial facilities and building new factories and residential facilities. The choice of zolferine was different. Zolperine found "culture" as a breakthrough in urban regeneration. While maintaining the historicity of the existing factory, the remaining building was changed to cultural facilities. The place used as a factory is being used as a space for world-class performances and festivals where the Lour Triennale will be held. It was branded as a cultural city containing history. UNESCO has listed the city's coal mine facilities as a World Heritage Site, as if in return for the hard work of Zolferin. Zolferine has created more than 1,000 jobs with successful urban branding through brand repository, and has been reborn as the center of the cultural industry with more than 2 million visitors a year.

ooh man I’m re-watching Reply 1994 (for the 3rd time 👀)  and I almost forgot how much literally EVERY episode makes me cry

I’m up to episode 8, and when Yoon Jin shows up at the terminal and sees Samcheonpo/Sung Kyun there with her mom... I’m truly just crying throughout this whole scene

[barkjunhee]

i thought yoonjin was gonna end up with haitai not samcheonpo. idek about the main love triangle anymore, everything is ruined.
