And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

shoutout to my boy sir seoman "simon" snowlock for being the most underpowered epic fantasy protagonist of all time. bro is a regular ass 15 year old who got occasional sword training on and off over the course of a year, summing to probably like ~50 hours total. aka just enough time to learn how to play wonderwall on a guitar. he got one (1) singular magical enhancement in the form of dragon blood giving him a white lock of hair like anna mcfrozen and it gave him what would be the equivalent to an occasional +1 on wisdom checks in dungeons&dragons. and his wisdom stat would be like. a nine. because he is fifteen years old. so all it does is give him The Potential To Occasionally Have The Mental Capacity Of A Slightly Above Average Adult. and it is absolutely crucial to him saving the world, yes, but it is also laughable compared to the protagonists of other landmark epic fantasy series. fucking Frodo Baggins would cook Simon in a 1v1 if they were both allowed the gear they had because Simon's consistent "magical items" stock consists of 1. an unnaturally durable yet otherwise entirely normal arrow and 2. a mirror with which he can call for help from his elf friend, except it does not facilitate the arrival of said elf friend in any way, the elf friend must travel normally to Simon's location in order to help him. so 4'1" Frodo Braggins could just slip on his ring and murk him with his awesome glowy sword while Simon spends like a page worth of prose gaping in confusion and indecision. And you know what? I don't care. I love Simon. He is an amazing protagonist who manages to be a realistically written young teenage boy and yet simultaneously the compelling lead protagonist of an epic fantasy series with a fittingly epic scale. He is the Platonic Ideal of a Traditional Epic Fantasy Protagonist. I don't care if Eragon Shadeslayer or Rand al'Thor could delete him in a millisecond with their minds, I stan the fail king kitchen boy and you should too
#memory sorrow and thorn#seoman snowlock#simon snowlock#no hate on the other mentioned fantasy protags I love them all they're just there for comparison#fantasy#epic fantasy#fantasy books#memory sorrow and thorn spoilers

Snow Bros: The Parallel Journeys of Simon and Jon Snow
Simon Snowlock Art: Credit || Jon Snow Art: Credit
It’s not a secret that George R.R. Martin was inspired by the fantasy series “Memory, Sorrow & Thorn” when he was writing ASOIAF. Here is what he has said himself on the subject:
"Tad’s fantasy series, The Dragonbone Chair and the rest of his famous four-book trilogy was one of the things that inspired me to write my own seven-book trilogy."
Source
The premise of “Memory, Sorrow & Thorn” is the political turmoil in a country after the King dies while in the far North, supernatural creatures are about to destroy mankind. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
We won’t list here all the similarities between those two series (which are a lot, mind you!) because the focus of this meta are the parallels between Simon Snowlock (MS&T's Main Character) and our Jon Snow.
Both start their series as fourteen year old boys who are unaware of their true royal lineage. Simon’s father was a descendant of Eahlstan Fiskerne King of the Hayholt. Rhaegar Targaryen was the son and heir to King Aerys II Targaryen and through his father, he is the descendant of all the Targaryens that ruled Westeros.
Simon’s father was already dead by the time he was born while his mother lived long enough to name him (his real name is Seoman, by the way!) before she died in her childbirth bed. Similarly, Rhaegar died at the Trident before Lyanna gave birth to Jon. Lyanna lived long enough to ask her brother to protect her son “Promise me, Ned” and perhaps to also to name him? There is a lot speculation within the fandom that Jon was given a different name by his mother. "He was no Aemon Targaryen." (wink, wink) Perhaps a Targaryen one, befitting a son of a Targaryen Prince?
Simon lived his whole life as a kitchen boy in the Hayholt’s castle, like Jon lived his as a bastard of Winterfell. People in Hayholt’s castle called him “Ghost Boy” and interestingly enough, that’s the name Jon choses to give to his beloved Direwolf, 'Ghost'.
At the beginning of the first book, both characters are forced to leave their childhood home and their story is heavily intertwined with the supernatural creatures of the North.
Both boys have powerful, magical dreams. Simon has his prophetic visions and Jon has his wolf dreams, and some prophetic visions (him seeing Benjen dying), the crypt dreams that haunt him.
During Simon’s fight with an ice dragon, he gets a scar to his left eye and also a lock of white hair and he is said to be “marked by the dragon”. Jon already has a similar scar but he doesn’t have a lock of white hair. Could he possibly acquire that post his resurrection as a hint for his true lineage? Simon also gains the nickname “Snowlock” because of his hair and well that sounds too similar to Jon’s surname.
At some point in the series, Simon falls into a coma state being between life and death. A little girl, Leleth, is showing him visions of the past, while princess Maegwin sacrifices herself transferring her energy to him so he can return to his body. For all we know, Jon is dead by end of ADWD but it’s obvious that Martin is far from over with his story. Could he possibly enter a state between life and death where someone (Bloodraven perhaps?) will reveal to him the truth of Robert’s Rebellion aka the secret of his birth? Also, Melisandre believes that she needs to sacrifice “two kings to wake the dragon” what if she does that believing that she will gain a stone dragon hidden within the Wall but instead she wakes the son of the dragon, aka Jon Snow?
It is interesting to mention here that Simon ends up the series as King of the Realm despite the fact that he was never among the candidates who fought for the Dragonbone Chair. He is the unlikely King. Likewise, gaining a throne couldn’t be further from Jon’s current mindset. However Jon, thanks to his Targaryen lineage and King Robb’s will, could end up becoming King of Westeros or King in the North. We are not saying that alternative endgames don’t exist for him, but him ending up as a King isn’t a far fetched theory, either. In case he does end up King, he could either rule alone or be a co-ruler together with his wife. After all, Simon - the character Jon’s was inspired from- was aided in his ruling duties by his wife Queen Miriamele.

As he floated in and out of fevered sleep, through curtained daylight and chill night, he felt as though gray ice grew inside him, stiffening his limbs and filling him with frost. He wondered if he would ever be warm again. (The Music of High Places, Stone of Farewell)
...
Chunks of coal burned in iron braziers at either end of the long room, but Jon found himself shivering. The chill was always with him here. In a few years he would forget what it felt like to be warm. (Jon III, AGoT)
--
Other times he could not be found at all. He skulked around the castle like a scrawny shadow, could shinny up a wall as well as the roof-masons and glaziers, and knew so many passageways and hiding holes that the castle folk called him "ghost boy." Rachel boxed his ears frequently and called him a mooncalf. (The Grasshopper and the King, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
The next morning Bran was nowhere to be seen. They finally found him fast asleep in the upper branches of the tallest sentinel in the grove.
As angry as he was, his father could not help but laugh. "You're not my son," he told Bran when they fetched him down, "you're a squirrel. So be it. If you must climb, then climb, but try not to let your mother see you." (Bran II, AGoT)
--
"Oh, please, master," the jester beseeched. "Weep no more! All men must die—you, I, everyone. If we are not killed by youthful stupidity or ill-luck, then it is our fate to live on like the trees: older and older until at last we totter and fall. It is the way of all things. How can you fight the Lord's will?" (The Grasshopper and the King, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
"Let them. Is it treason to say a man is mortal? Valar morghulis was how they said it in Valyria of old. All men must die. And the Doom came and proved it true." The Dornishman went to the window to gaze out into the night. "It is being said that you have no witnesses for us." (Tyrion IX, ASoS)
(George took the latter line literally)
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies," said Jojen. "The man who never reads lives only one. The singers of the forest had no books. No ink, no parchment, no written language. Instead they had the trees, and the weirwoods above all. When they died, they went into the wood, into leaf and limb and root, and the trees remembered. All their songs and spells, their histories and prayers, everything they knew about this world. Maesters will tell you that the weirwoods are sacred to the old gods. The singers believe they are the old gods. When singers die they become part of that godhood." (Bran III, ADwD)
--
"To be fair, Man and Animal both live a similarly brief span of years in Osten Ard, and this is not true of Sithi and Man. If the Fair Folk are not actually deathless, they are certainly much longer-lived than any mortal man, even our nonagenarian king. It could be they do not die at all, except by choice or violence—perhaps if you are Sitha, violence itself might be a choice..." (The Grasshopper and the King, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
Meera said, "You speak the Common Tongue now."
"For him. The Bran boy. I was born in the time of the dragon, and for two hundred years I walked the world of men, to watch and listen and learn. I might be walking still, but my legs were sore and my heart was weary, so I turned my feet for home."
"Two hundred years?" said Meera.
The child smiled. "Men, they are the children." (Bran II, ADwD)
--
"I saved him, Susanna. I had to," he whispered. The corners of the woman's mouth twitched—it might have been a smile.
"I...know..." she said, voice coming ever so softly in her raw throat. "If only...my Eahlferend...had not..." The effort was too much, and she stopped. Elispeth leaned down to show her the child, wrapped in blankets, still attached to the bloody umbilicus.
"He's small," the old woman smiled, "but that's because he arrived so early. What is his name?"
"...Call...him...Seoman..." Susanna croaked out. "...it means...'waiting'..." She turned to Morgenes and seemed to want to say something more. The doctor leaned closer, his white hair brushing her snow-pale cheek, but she could not make the words come. A moment later she gasped once, and her dark eyes rolled up until the whites showed. The girl holding her hand began to sob. (Birds in the Chapel, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
"I was with her when she died," Ned reminded the king. "She wanted to come home, to rest beside Brandon and Father." He could hear her still at times. Promise me, she had cried, in a room that smelled of blood and roses. Promise me, Ned. The fever had taken her strength and her voice had been faint as a whisper, but when he gave her his word, the fear had gone out of his sister's eyes. Ned remembered the way she had smiled then, how tightly her fingers had clutched his as she gave up her hold on life, the rose petals spilling from her palm, dead and black. After that he remembered nothing. They had found him still holding her body, silent with grief. The little crannogman, Howland Reed, had taken her hand from his. Ned could recall none of it. "I bring her flowers when I can," he said. "Lyanna was…fond of flowers." (Eddard I, AGoT)
...
5. Since all of their mothers died, who gave Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister their names?
Mothers can name a child before birth, or during, or after, even while they are dying. Dany was most like named by her mother, Tyrion by his father, Jon by Ned.
[Source]
--
The black cart and its attendants drew to a halt just within the circle of firelight. One of the four standing figures raised an arm, the black sleeve falling away to reveal a wrist and hand as thin and white as bone.
It spoke, voice silvery-cold, toneless as ice cracking. (The Hill Fire, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
A shadow emerged from the dark of the wood. It stood in front of Royce. Tall, it was, and gaunt and hard as old bones, with flesh pale as milk. Its armor seemed to change color as it moved; here it was white as new-fallen snow, there black as shadow, everywhere dappled with the deep grey-green of the trees. The patterns ran like moonlight on water with every step it took. (Prologue, AGoT)
...
The Other said something in a language that Will did not know; his voice was like the cracking of ice on a winter lake, and the words were mocking. (Prologue, AGoT)
--
And what were these figures who approached him across the shambles of the courtyard, moving as gracefully over the icy stones as blowing thistledown?
His heart raced. At first, he saw their beautiful, cold faces and pale hair, Hengfisk thought them angels. (Foreward, Stone of Farewell)
...
"No one's here," said Bran, bravely. "Look at the snow. There are no footprints."
"The white walkers go lightly on the snow," the ranger said. "You'll find no prints to mark their passage." (Bran II, ADwD)
...
"The Others are not dead. They are strange, beautiful…think, oh…the Sidhe made of ice, something like that…a different sort of life…inhuman, elegant, dangerous." (A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1)
--
"Qantaqa was a pup when she was found by me," Binabik continued at last. "Her mother had probably been killed, or from starvation had died. She snarled at me when I discovered her, a ball of white fur given away in the snow by black nose." (A Net of Stars, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
Father frowned. "This is only a dead animal, Jory," he said. Yet he seemed troubled. Snow crunched under his boots as he moved around the body. "Do we know what killed her?"
"There's something in the throat," Robb told him, proud to have found the answer before his father even asked. "There, just under the jaw."
His father knelt and groped under the beast's head with his hand. He gave a yank and held it up for all to see. A foot of shattered antler, tines snapped off, all wet with blood. (Bran I, AGoT)
...
"He must have crawled away from the others," Jon said.
"Or been driven away," their father said, looking at the sixth pup. His fur was white, where the rest of the litter was grey. His eyes were as red as the blood of the ragged man who had died that morning. (Bran I, AGoT)
--
"In the smoaking rubble of the Temple there not lay a great and gleaming Stone. It was proclaimed by the Aedonites that here was the heathen altar, melted by the vengeful Fires of the One God.
"I, Nisses, believe instead that this was a flaming Star of the heavens fallen to Earth, as happens on Occasion.
"Now, from this molten wrack was taken a great price, and the Imperator's swordwrights found it Workable, and the sky-metal was hammered into a great Blade. In mind of the scourging branches which had flaid Usires' Back, the star-sword—as I suppose it to be—was named THORN, and a mighty power there was in it..." (Forgotten Swords, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
"The finest knight I ever saw was Ser Arthur Dayne, who fought with a blade called Dawn, forged from the heart of a fallen star. They called him the Sword of the Morning, and he would have killed me but for Howland Reed." (Bran III, ACoK)
--
"By contrast," the passage continued, "the one man who was John's match on the field of war was his virtual opposite. Camaris-sá-Vinitta, last prince of the Nabbanai royal house and brother of the current duke, was a man to whom war seemed only another fleshly distraction. Astride his horse Atarin and with the great sword Thorn in his hand, he was probably the most deadly man in our world—yet he took no pleasure from battle, and his great skill was only a burden, in that his mighty reputation brought many against him who would otherwise have had no cause, and forced him to kill when he would not." (The Shadow of the Wheel, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
"Prince Rhaegar's prowess was unquestioned, but he seldom entered the lists. He never loved the song of swords the way that Robert did, or Jaime Lannister. It was something he had to do, a task the world had set him. He did it well, for he did everything well. That was his nature. But he took no joy in it. Men said that he loved his harp much better than his lance." (Daenerys IV, ASoS)
--
Binabik was right: this thing emerging from like a jet-black butterfly from its prisoning chrysalis was not only a sword, it was a sword like no other he had ever seen: long as a man's arms spread wide, fingertip to fingertip, and black. The purity of its blackness was unmarred by the colors that sparkled on its edge, as though the blade was so supernaturally sharp that it even sliced the dim light of the cavern into rainbows. (Beneath the Uduntree, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
In answer, Jon had pressed Longclaw into Sam's hand. He let him feel the lightness, the balance, had him turn the blade so that ripples gleamed in the smoke-dark metal. "Valyrian steel," he said, "spell-forged and razor-sharp, nigh on indestructible. A swordsman should be as good as his sword, Sam. Longclaw is Valyrian steel, but I'm not. The Halfhand could have killed me as easy as you swat a bug." (Samwell I, AFfC)
--
Their leader had worn a helmet in the form of a snarling hound’s face, but Isgrimnur had never heard of such an emblem. (Cold Comforts, The Dragonbone Chair)
...
He turned to find Clegane looming overhead like a cliff. His soot-dark armor seemed to blot out the sun. He had lowered the visor on his helm. It was fashioned in the likeness of a snarling black hound, fearsome to behold, but Tyrion had always thought it a great improvement over Clegane's hideously burned face. (Tyrion I, AGoT)

Entrevista do Yunho para a ‘ELLE Korea’!
ESSE É MEU MOMENTO!
__________________
Jung Yunho é sempre um líder do palco e um palestrante que é mais apaixonado por si mesmo do que qualquer outra pessoa. Este é o momento mais honesto de U-know Yunho.
Você tem trabalhado duro na construção do seu corpo hoje em dia, certo? Yunho: É minha primeira vez sendo determinado assim a construir meu corpo. Comecei a malhar em larga escala com o pensamento de que quero desenvolver mais as coisas que tenho.
No verão passado, você lançou seu primeiro álbum solo. Faz 16 anos desde que você fez sua debut.
Yunho: Eu pensei que tinha que tentar isso como TVXQ por 10 anos. Se eu fizesse isso por 10 anos, eu seria um especialista. Eu queria experimentar tudo e fazer o meu trabalho depois de envelhecer. Independentemente da comercialização, está tudo bem, mesmo que eu não se saia bem. Mas eu esperava que tudo desse certo. Eu acho que poderei mostrar meu segundo álbum em breve também. Só estou procurando um bom momento.
O que você percebeu depois de fazer isso por cerca de 10 anos?
Yunho: Acho que comecei a saber em detalhes o que quero fazer e no que sou bom. E também procurei e assisti muitos dos meus vídeos quando era mais jovem. Foi quando eu tinha cerca de 16 anos, quando ganhei "Melhor Dançarino” no 'SM Best Contest'. Era constrangedor. Mas é semelhante ao presente. Estou tentando fazer o meu melhor, e quero ir além das expectativas.
Como você lidou com as expectativas, previsões e preconceitos (/estereótipos) que o cercavam até agora?
Yunho: De certa forma, acho que na maioria das vezes fui influenciado por essas coisas. Quando ouvi: "Yunho não é bom na dança?", fiz muitos exercícios vocais. Criei conteúdo que realça meus vocais. Queria ouvir: "Ele é alguém que pode fazer esse tipo de música?"
Há pouco tempo, você fez um concerto on-line chamado <Beyond Live>. Quando você monitora os shows hoje em dia, o que você vê?
Yunho: "Eu dei ou não tudo de mim no palco", eu olho para isso objetivamente. O público sabe tudo. Sinto imediatamente se o performista ou artista está 'assumindo' o palco.
Ao se expressar através de um concerto sem contato, há uma parte em que você é limitado.
Yunho: Eu acho que devemos receber aplausos/torcida dos fãs, mesmo em um show como esse. Não é fácil. Ainda hoje, as pessoas estão vendo através da tela. Todo mundo está se acostumando a olhar pela tela, e a plataforma mudou bastante.
Que tipo de atitude você deve ter quando se apresenta em um concerto sem contato?
Yunho: Acho que o público aplaude se você der o seu melhor. Nos dias em que minha condição não é tão boa, não gosto quando o público pensa: "A condição de U-know Yunho não está boa hoje?" É por isso que estou fazendo o meu melhor. Eu não acho que isso deva ser entendido/notado.
Você é muito rigoroso consigo mesmo. Você é do tipo que tem uma autoconfiança muito forte?
Yunho: (Minha autoconfiança) Está perto de nada. É porque eu não acho que estou indo bem. É por isso que estou fazendo o meu melhor. Eu tento me divertir. Eu tenho que superar isso.
Além da imagem que você tem no palco, sua imagem de que vive o dia ao máximo, como esperado, tornou-se uma inspiração para muitas pessoas. Qual é o feedback que você recebe da sua própria vida diária?
Yunho: Coincidentemente, ela combina com a época agora, então recebi a palavra-chave 'paixão'. Sou grato que ninguém como eu possa influenciar positivamente alguém. Eu tenho pensado assim recentemente. Eu disse que as pessoas ao meu redor me criaram. Os fãs que apoiaram a mim e ao TVXQ, desde de quando eram jovens na escola, se tornaram adultos agora. Há também aqueles que se tornaram pais de um filho. Recebi uma grande motivação deles torcendo por mim até o fim. O fato de eu ter uma clara influência sobre alguém me faz trabalhar duro.
Na verdade, você já trabalha duro desde os 16 anos de idade.
Yunho: Isso mesmo. Eu sempre trabalhei duro. No passado, se eu pensava que deveria trabalhar duro em geral; agora, a única diferença é que há uma razão clara (por que trabalho duro).
Existe um mal-entendido criado pelos programas de TV de que não existe "falta de entusiasmo” para U-know Yunho?
Yunho: Haveria muita “falta de entusiasmo” até para mim. Eu também sou humano, então não posso “correr” por 365 dias. Claro, acho que tenho corrido muito comparado ao normal. Até os que estão à minha volta dizem isso, e mesmo se eu olhar para ele... (risos). Gosto de saber exatamente o que faço e depois seguir em frente, e acho que isso mostra que não o fiz sem entusiasmo. Mas eu realmente descanso quando preciso.
Qual é a sua maneira favorita de descansar hoje em dia?
Yunho: Bem, há momentos em que faço alguma coisa, mesmo quando estou descansando... Se você perguntar como interpreta o descanso, todo mundo é diferente. Tudo é assim. É relativo, certo?
Você já tentou responder ao teste de tipo de personalidade MBTI?
Yunho: Sim. Dois tipos saíram. Eu acho que um desses foi ENTJ.
Aqui está uma tabela com as características do ENTJ. Você acha que existem itens diferentes de si mesmo?
Yunho: Torna-se um líder naturalmente, gosta de mudar, tende a ser ser minucioso no planejamento - tudo está certo. Meu planejamento (habilidades) é realmente tremendo. Eu gosto de prever até as variáveis durante o planejamento. O tipo de “focar em uma coisa”? Isso também está correto. Eu não posso ser um "faz tudo”. Eu me concentro em uma coisa, então termino rapidamente. Bang, bang, bang, bang! Então, as pessoas pensam que estou realizando quatro coisas ao mesmo tempo.
Há também um item que diz: "tende a dizer pensamentos a si mesmo".
Yunho: Isso também está correto. Eu digo isso em voz alta quando estou sozinho, "Yunho-ya, você pode fazer isso, certo? Você tem que fazer isso. Sim, você tem que fazer isso". Dizer isso me deixa motivado. Este é um dos meus métodos de treinamento. Mas não no ponto de parecer estranho. (risos)
Suas citações magníficas também são um tópico. Atualmente, eles solicitam citações em todos os programas em que você aparece.
Yunho: Me perguntam muito sobre isso. Digo principalmente as coisas que vivenciei e senti pessoalmente. Esses tipos de palavras/falas são simpáticas e compreensíveis. Claro, há momentos em que faço anotações se fico impressionado depois de assistir a um filme, drama e (ler uma) história em quadrinhos.
O que é comum entre as citações que tocam seu coração?
Yunho: “Não desista", essa. Mesmo agora, acho que nunca me destaquei porque sou especial. Lee Seoman disse uma vez: "(Quem) Alcança ser uma pessoa que é talentosa, uma pessoa que é trabalhadora, é alguém que está se divertindo (com o que faz).” Parecia que estava muito longe. Alguém que se diverte (com o que faz). Mas eu tentei. Trabalhar duro foi realmente difícil. Então continuei. Então, tornou-se divertido. Depois que cheguei ao estado em que estou me divertindo, aprendi muitas coisas, mais do que eu pensava. É por isso que gosto dessas palavras. Paixão, não desista. Esse tipo de palavras. É porque eu experimentei.
Eu acho que a força de não desistir também é um talento.
Yunho: Eu trabalhei muito. Eu vivenciei crises inúmeras vezes. Mas as pessoas não sabem disso. Porque eu não mostro isso. Mas senti as limitações (das crises) diariamente. Eu não me comprometo (me deixo levar) com isso. Pensei em anotar todos os momentos em que me comprometi (me deixei levar com isso). Por isso mudei minha maneira de pensar. Eu tenho que fazer isso de qualquer maneira. Então, vamos torná-lo divertido.
Livros dizendo que não há problema em viver sem entusiasmo são os mais vendidos na seção de “dissertações” das livrarias. Que mensagem você deixaria se escrevesse uma dissertação para si mesmo nesses momentos?
Yunho: Eu quero dizer: "vamos continuar sonhando". Eu acho que é o poder mais essencial para uma pessoa. Fui fotografado no aeroporto enquanto lia o livro "I almost lived life to the fullest". Na verdade, eu também leio livros assim. Eu também posso me relacionar muito com isso. Eu acho que saber como anotar as coisas faz parte da vida apaixonada.
A razão pela qual a invenção se tornou seu hobby?
Yunho: Eu acho que começou com "Isso é inconveniente, mas pode haver uma maneira melhor". Gosto do processo de resolver e tentar solucionar um problema. Enquanto faço isso, posso ver as coisas novas que eu não sabia antes. Eu gosto desse tipo de processo.
Teve algum "afastamento” emocionante que você fez recentemente?
Yunho: Fui a Gwangju depois de muito tempo para filmar um programa chamado <Hometown Flex>. Minha equipe de dança do ensino médio se reuniu depois de 18 anos. Foi uma reunião que a equipe de produção planejou secretamente. Eu tive arrepios. Lembramos e dançamos o que costumávamos fazer durante os dias do ensino médio.
Até seus amigos do ensino infantil, fundamental e médio - é incomum manter um relacionamento próximo com seus velhos amigos.
Yunho: Eles são as pessoas que se lembram do meu eu original. Eles são importantes. As raízes que me apoiam firmemente. Mas meus amigos sempre dizem isso: "Você é exatamente o mesmo que era antes e agora. É realmente incrível. Como é que você é o mesmo?"
Há um parque em Gwangju que você sempre visita quando está tendo dificuldades, certo?
Yunho: Eu vou lá em uma viagem de um dia. Quando tenho que tomar uma grande decisão, vou lá e penso sobre isso.
Você disse que viu o filme <The Greatest Showman> várias vezes. Você não chora tanto quando assiste a um filme ou drama, mas derrama lágrimas em qualquer cena do filme <The Present>, onde um comediante sem nome por cinco anos foi o personagem principal.
Yunho: É uma profissão que "mostra". Mas há muitas ocasiões em que a imagem que você mostra é diferente da que sente por dentro. Era o lado profissional que eu queria nesses dois trabalhos. Uma estrela e um profissional são diferentes. Eu acho que sempre quis me tornar um profissional, e não uma estrela.
Como profissional, qual é a aparência que você mais deseja?
Yunho: Eu quero ser uma pessoa que continua. Eu persigo o 'ing' (Presente contínuo). Talvez eu descanse um dia, mas não será fácil fazer um ponto final.
Apesar disso, você já imaginou sua última performance?
Yunho: O artista que eu admiro há muito tempo é Michael Jackson. Eu dificilmente posso ser comparado a ele em termos de habilidade e posição, mas imaginei que minha última performance seria um ano mais velho que os 50 anos com os quais Michael Jackson terminou. Ativamente, aos 51 anos, quero convidar as pessoas de quem gosto e fazer um concerto. Eu não me importo com o tamanho do palco. Está tudo bem, mesmo que não seja chique.

Resenha: GIRLBOSS (Sophia Amoruso)
Resenha: #GIRLBOSS (Sophia Amoruso)
Esse é mais um livro que virou uma adaptação produzida e exibida pela Netflix. Depois de 13 reasons why (Os treze porquês), que já resenhei para o E.T.C e você pode conferir aqui, GIRLBOSS também está disponível no catálogo de séries e das livrarias. Só que dessa vez a história de Sophia Amoruso ficou conhecida primeiramente por seu livro e depois pela telinha.
