#sungchan predebut

[ratinhozico]

sungchan fetus ♡____♡

like or reblog if u save :D

[ellaalleella]

If anyone notices all the problems Riize faced since their pre-debut were all from knetz themselves. Starting with Sohee n Seunghan predebut rumors, body shaming Wonbin, groundless gf rumors to both Eunseok and Anton (got severe backlash on ktwitter which kfans almost turned their backs to both of them), Anton's dance skill, Sungchan always on his phone...all this made up rumors came out of nowhere like this is obvious agenda plot atp. Did someone purposely sabotage them or something? The fact that these are the ppl that SM catering to is sick..free Riize from these psychopath freaks..

[kriize]

Hi so idk if you wanna interact with anyone right now but I wanna ask you for advice regarding stanning riize

I am fairly new to the fandom and even hearing these news made me feel so devastated so to imagine how briize who have been there for a long time omg they must feel 100 time worse.

But yeah I don’t know if I should just be more on the sideline now or just completely shut down my fan pages.

I can’t support a company that treat their artists like trash

Am I being too dramatic?

no you’re not being dramatic in the slightest!

but ive been a briize since siren/predebut & even back during sm rookies & is also an nctzen since shotaro & sungchan were in nct. so i guess you can say that ive been here from the get go.

ive said this in one of my other spam posts that ive posted today, but id completely understand if you felt the need to step back from riize.

like i said, it’s obvious that the members wanted him there & was devastated at the airport when they knew that he’d decided to not return after all.

mainly sohee (since the two were honestly like two peas in a pod) who was seen crying & wonbin (who recently stood up for seunghan after he returned via a weverse post that has since been deleted by sm from his weverse acc) who couldn’t even hold his head up while walking through the airport.

so i can confidently say that the members are definitely not the problem, they wanted him to be there. seunghan & wonbin said so themselves.

the problem is k/cbriizes & sm.

sm failed to protect him. he walked past all those wreaths outside of of sm’ building (which imo should’ve been taken down IMMEDIATELY!), which probably made him really reconsider returning to riize.

i don’t want to be apart of a fandom that drove a innocent man away from his friends & dreams, either. but it is a little harder to just completely unstan when ive followed their journey for so long.

whatever decision you make is ultimately up to you, your opinion on this matter is completely valid.

[chiiyuuvv]

super random but i just realized we got the same biases in riize and xikers 🤭 btw how long have you been stanning them both and when did you choose your biases? <3

STOPPPPP you're hunter + anton + shotaro too????? NAUR THIS IS A JOKEE

Ive been stanning xikers for little over a year, discovered them through ateez when they were promoting as kq fellaz 2. Hunter has also been my bae for little over a year, literally first glance and i had fallen hard wai-

LOOK. AT. BEAUTIFUL- SURREAL- URGHHHHH HES SO HSISKSJSKSOSKSNSJ

yeah and idk if ive said this or not but i have a really big english kink.. i think that says a lot 🤷‍♀️

As of riize, i heard about get a guitar but never paid attention to it bc wth am going to do with a guitar?? Learned about them more through a friend that was obsessing over anton (@yawnzzznnn COUGH COUGH) and then i listened to get a guitar.. it was okay. Listened to memories and that. Was. My song.

I had already knew most of the members names bc i was reading fanfics of them bc i wanted something new to read-

Ummm.. how/why did i start stanning for me to be able to stan a group, i have to find a song that i like a lot, and then a member that really reels me into the group, making me want to learn more about them. In this case it was seunghan haha

So erm.. i remember talk saxy came out but i never listened to it, just saw the thumbnail on youtube and i was just like "oh cool!" And continued on with my day. A few days later though (fun fact talk saxy was released on my kpop anniversary) it finally dawned on me that they had a new mv so i listened to it at school. It was just okay. Watched the mv when i got home; the song was songing (for context, when i have a fav song i play the crap out of it then get tired of it a week later.. talk saxy took me a month to recover-) and seunghan was seunghaning.

So uhh.. decided to look more into them. My bias list at the time was seunghan.. maybe shotaro then sohee then sungchan (reminds me of yujun) and then anton (idk if anton was up or down or not)

Shotaro caught my eye bc usually hes really giggly and smiley but i had watched the bts of talk saxy and my jaw DROPPED bc how he so foine like?????

As far as anton.. me bestieee (@starryriize) is sohee biased and i was too kinda, but anton was catching my eye a little bit so i just declared he would be my bias even though i thought it would change in a week or so (IT DIDNT HAHAHAH)

I don't really remember when anton started giving.. like bro just spawned on top and just stayed there 💀 i think it was when i was watching those old riize videos where their preparing everything and anton was so SOFTTT and TINYYY and SQUISHYY (i get lots of cute agression with riize)

And honestly, i thought his english was just okay so i stopped looking it up. But i think i looked it up like a week later again just because or something like that AND OH MY GOD

i also love me some good predebut anton 😋

Anyways, cant exactly pinpoint when i started being down bad for the boy (bc im so down bad its crazy form 😞) just know bro came out of no where and hes not going just yet.

Sorry for the rant lmao, i always find it so interesting to think back on my pre-stan days and i usually think about it with myself, ive never actually told anyone so this feels a bit new.

I wub my english speakers + shotaro <3

TALK SAXY IS PLAYING RN LMAOOOOOO

[theficblog]

so you’re telling me sungchan and shotaro are leaving nct, shohei isn’t debuting with the other rookies, and they’re gonna have a predebut reality show for the new nct unit while ending nct’s limitless concept wth

[silmarillaure]

The news about riize has made me so angry. These people are absolutely fucking disgusting and something seriously needs to be done about this. Taeil can drug and gang rape a girl and everyone’s silent but a boy smokes and has a girlfriend predebut??? And people act like this! Its ridiculous… but also I can’t believe you like both silm AND Kpop!! What groups do you stan? Who are your biases?

T@e!l is the wrong comparison to make here.

No one supports T@e!l, Korean & International netizens ALL hate him. He was immediately removed (thankfully) and I think everyone just wants to forget about his existence because who wants to keep a r@p!st on their mind. There's nothing to protest for, his career is done.

Obviously Seunghan's treatment by OT6 Briize is evil & unforgivable though. It just has nothing to do with T@e!l and isn't comparable.

It's just purely stupid & idiotic how OT6 Briize wanted to & succeeded in punishing Seunghan for being a normal teenager. It happened PRE-debut, years ago... it's pointless witch hunting him for it now, but apparently not being a celibate virgin is punishable by d@ath threats & having to leave your group.

The thing is, just look at the rest of RIIZE. They're all beautiful gorgeous boys. Do the same people who hate Seunghan for dating think that pretty boy Wonbin & k-drama beauty Sungchan have always been and will always be single? How did they look at Seunghan's stunning face and think he would have no game?

This is ridiculous and it's even more ridiculous SM caved in and sided with the people sending him funeral wreaths for the sin of dating. They've never been good at defending their artists from haters, but some of their most popular artists/former artists have had dating "scandals". Jonghyun, Taeyeon, Baekhyun, Kai, Krystal... they all got a terrible amount of hate but didn't loose their careers.

....

My Stan List & Biases:

BTS: Got me into K-pop and are true artists. Their Korean discography is a masterpiece & I love how BTS's rapline are real rappers and not just "Idol rappers" who mumble/fast talk. Also I appreciate the Rapline's heavy involvement in their music, they do way more than most idols. (OT7 are all my biases but Jin & J-Hope are my bias wreckers.)

ATEEZ: I've been a fan for years now & I'm so proud of how far they've come. I can't say I love every single comeback but their music usually grows on me & when it works it just works. Seonghwa & Hongjoong are my biases & Yeosang is my bias wrecker but I love everyone.

Le Sserafim: Sakura Miyawaki is my queen & she is a stage presence demon who I will defend til my last breath. They're also the funniest group. Eunchae is my bias wrecker, she's so gosh darn cute & charming.

Victon (now inactive): They had some good f*cking music. I still keep up with by bias Han Seungwoo's releases with are usually good.

WOODZ (soloist): I love self produced idols who make good music. Not to mention he's also good at everything & doesn't lack in vocals, dance, or rap. What an icon!

ZB1: I know they're a temporary group but they're genuinely one of the best groups ever. I can't believe such a perfect group was made with no MNET rigging! Each member is so talented & they ALL deserved their spots in the group. Not to mention they're all funny af with great visuals. Haobin are my biases & everyone else is a bias wrecker.

NCT Dream: I stan them but I don't really have a bias or bias wrecker. I like them all about the same & their bond as a group is heartwarming. Their music is also the best in NCT.

I would stan NCT 127... if only I liked their music. Yuta is my bias & Taeyong is my bias wrecker though.

I don't quite stan ILLIT, but I was rooting for Moka all throughout the survival show RUNext. I'm so glad she made it and it's amazing to see her become so popular when she was really underappreciated pre-debut. I'm also just rooting for all the girls in general, they seem very sweet & deserve the best.

Also not quite K-pop but (K)J-pop - JO1: I love them, I love their music, I love their voices, their visuals, their personalities, amazing. Junki is my bias (oshi in Japanese) & Ren is my bias wrecker.

[waitingforminjae]

you're not gonna believe what's happening with nct right now

pls picture being me rn and getting this message at 6:15 in the morning on a wednesday and going to ur blog and being like

oh sungchan left nct (and sm) </3 -> wait. -> SHOTARO LEFT TOO?????? -> oh poor shohei i thought this might happen when i heard he was injured but still :( -> NOT A PREDEBUT SHOW STOP THAT!!!!!!!!!! -> oh they only left nct? they're gonna be in a new bg (in the basement FOREVER) :(

[winkeuu]

SM 3.0 updates! (3 NEW GROUPS)

here are the LATEST SM updates for 2023 (from their SM 3.0 rollout);

NEW NCT UNIT!

this unit will be nct's last unit as they've stopped their infinite expansion

it will include new smrookies we haven't seen before

SUNGCHAN and SHOTARO will not be joining this unit; they will join SM's new boy group!

SM NEW BOY GROUP!

first bg SM has debuted since 2016 skdnsjndks

EUNSEOK and SEUNGHAN, two smrookies who were supposed to join nct, will be joining this group instead!

SHOHEI will not be joining this group due to health issues :( please make sure to support his activies in the future!

there will be a predebut reality / survival show to form the group

they will prob debut after the new nct unit

NEW SM GG !!!!

couldn't find too much info on this that wasn't from a 3rd party

will debut near the end of the year

the trainees were already introduced in a showcase in march (i couldn't find this showcase, please send if you do!)

other previously announced SM activities for 2023 include:

all information is from sm officials' SM 3.0 rollout plan avaliable here. this is all confirmed, so make sure to support these groups' future activities!

[ningtual]

at least now i can say i support sungchan since predebut 😈

[jamesscarstairs]

so convinced that sm never intended for sungchan and shotaro to stay in nct. why permanently add members to an already popular group when you could temporarily add them to said group, have fans become attached to them and then suddenly remove them from the group, but conveniently debut them in your new boy group that needs the foundation of a steady fanbase at predebut in order to thrive in the future……

[enluv]

COCOOO i saw that you were also a briize 😋 who’s ur bias :))

CHAEEEE !! i am a briize ! predebut and everything hehe I love those boys <33 but I unfortunately have not been able to pick a bias yet 😭 i have always been a sungchan stan since nct days so you’d think he’d be my bias same with shotaro but i really adore sohee and wonton and eunseok cause I’ve also stanned him since before riize but i love seunghan too like I just can’t pick 😞 but I’ve been watching more of their content lately so we’ll see !! right now wonbin and anton are getting me bad cause i love a good shy boy but earlier eunseok had a grip on me too ! it’s just so hard to pick i seriously adore them all !! who is yours? im assuming sungchan since he’s your pfp?!

yanna’s relationship with nct pt. 2 (updated)

(this is an updated version of yanna’s relationship with her members + shotaro and sungchan, by age)

・❥・ lucas

(leaving this section clear until a proper statement about everything. this isn’t to delete him as a member nor to side with him, but i also have no idea what to write here because i’m unsure how he’s doing these days. i hope people understand.)

・❥・ mark

- yanna pinching mark’s ears unprovoked? more likely than you think.

- mark always says yanna takes good care of him and it makes him feel like he isn’t the oldest in dream sometimes.

- both admitted that they enjoy sharing verses and rapping back and forth with each other since their flow matches. and they know nctzens die everytime.

- recent fan favorite moment: beatbox starts off with mark and he basically turns over the first verse to yanna, during performances they would do it in different and random ways like yanna tapping him on the shoulder for him to turn so she could start off the song.

・❥・ xiaojun

- they’re closer but still not as much. they can sit beside each other now and talk casually, but they barely hang out.

- yanna’s incredibly impressed with xiaojun’s voice, and she’s vocal about it.

- kun said that the only reason yanna and xiaojun started trying to be friends is because they were scared the members would put them on awsaz. both denied it, of course.

- recent fan favorite moment: xiaojun mentioned in a recent live that yanna once kicked his knee and it hurt a lot. after a few minutes, she called his phone while the live was going on, basically yelling “i already said sorry!”

・❥・ hendery

- hendery’s the only person who leaves yanna perplexed.

- road to besties, to be honest. yanna finds hendery way too funny to not be bestie material.

- “henny and yanny”.

- recent fan favorite moment: there’s a selfie yanna posted on bubble, holding a piece of hendery’s hair as a mustache during his haircut.

・❥・ renjun

- literally her boyfriend. staying strong. not even sm can ruin their relationship. need i say more?

- group promotions are funny for fans because they almost get zero crumbs. they literally never sit next to each other. the most people get are subtle protective movements from renjun.

- but truly, weibo is where they mostly are. renjun posts pictures of yanna while the girl would always post short vlogs whenever they go out.

- recent fan favorite moment: during beatbox’s jacket behind the scene shoot, the two were paired up. yanna resisted eye contact the whole time, not wanting to look unprofessional. when it ended, renjun moved his face towards her and smiled while making eye contact. the staffs squealed at the interaction and yanna could only push him lightly.

・❥・ jeno

- bff #1. their handshake is through head bumps.

- yanna dropped honorifics for him in private and he didn’t mind. he calls her “ae cha” in return.

- jeno’s 65% done with yanna’s ass.(/j) he literally goes “we’ve been friends for way too long” on a daily basis.

- recent fan favorite moment: yanna’s drawer has various pictures on top of it, framed. one of those is a picture of predebut jeno and her eating ice cream together.

・❥・ haechan

- they’re over the enemies era, hyuck is now yanna’s baby.

- equally clingy. like, they’re usually the ones seated next to each other and yanna always has her hand under hyuck’s chin.

- they always speak softly to each other and give compliments, unless they’re in a goofy mood.

- recent fan favorite moment: as part of “yanna reacts”, which was changed to “ae cha’s corner” last 2021, the girl filmed a reaction to nct 2021’s universe album. in the middle of it, haechan entered the room and she invited him to join her. the whole video, her arm was around haechan’s neck and her chin was on his shoulder as she complimented everyone and would get excited for haechan during his parts.

・❥・ jaemin

- bff #2. help jaemin because as much as he loves how close they are again, yanna shares so much random stuff to him that he just ends up face palming.

- literally whispers and laughs about random shit, even high fives about it. jeno would have to walk over from somewhere to understand why his bestfriends are laughing.

- it really took them a while to become as close again, but they’ve always had a nice friendship. it’s just obvious how comfortable they’ve become to each other this year once again.

- recent fan favorite moment: during a recent group ig live, yanna accidentally shook her phone— making her realize her phone case makes sounds because of the liquid inside. she then paused and whispered to jaemin about it, making the man go “you’ve had that for 4 months, you’re just finding out now?” a little loudly. yanna then went “아가리 닥쳐”, to which her and jaemin both laughed at secretly while the other members were left confused.

・❥・ yangyang

- yangyang knows the passcode to yanna’s apartment unit. because he likes playing with her dog, neoran. not because of her and she has a “huge grudge” regarding this.

- yanna helps him out in his korean a lot, wanting him to write more korean lyrics for their nct releases.

- but she can’t even deal with the man’s cheesiness. specially towards renjun.

- recent fan favorite moment: on nct’s field day, there was a clip of yanna chasing yangyang around the area when the members started eating. no explanation given up to this day, because when yangyang was asked about it he just said “which one?” and ten followed with “they’re always fighting, and tell on each other to me.”

・❥・ shotaro

- literally her only possible reaction when facing shotaro is smiling, she can’t even help it.

- “shotaro-kun!”

- literally protects him from anything.

- recent fan favorite moment: during the behind the scene of the universe mv, he couldn’t stop saying how cool yanna’s hair looked and she could only mumble small “stop it”s.

・❥・ sungchan

- about to be bff #4, to be honest. same wavelength.

- he’s so tall and that angers yanna. because she’s older by months.

- sungchan admits he’s closest to yanna these days because the girl reaches out a lot and they have so many great conversations.

- recent fan favorite moment: during a fansign, yanna was asked who her favorite rapper was inside nct excluding taeyong and mark. she immediately said “sungchan.” she explained how his tone was incredible and he knows what attitude to have when he’s doing his lines. while sungchan also mentioned that yanna’s one of his favorite all-round performers. besties, fr.

[yumark-ism]

umakjungshim ep 6 - yuxiao?  it’s yumark, heh.

firstly, this was heavily scripted. as i thought, yuxiao has been on the agenda for a while considering this was filmed in the first week of september. so much that they even printed he infamous yuxiao music show meme to discuss. as i’ve mentioned before, nct’s team is heavily invested in fandom trends and discussion. yuta was nervous and quite stern filming this in front of mark (the lover), jungwoo, (mark’s best friend who always know something is going on between them) and xiajoun (someone yuta is awkward with but is going to have to do fanservice with and doesn’t want to make him feel like he has to push the filming himself). he wasn’t having fun with it, and instead kept a serious expression right from the start, almost a plead for help in his eyes. yuxiao is looking very much like a replacement for yuwin, at least for nct 2021 or if winwin continues to focus more on his solo career in china.

this was filmed before mark confessed around the end of the month. this happened right after their weird august phase where things got a little heavy between them, before they got together. yuta didn’t mind doing the fanservice (to an extent) with xiaojun and compare it to yuxiao content filmed recently (such as awsaz) where yuta didn’t entertain anything shippy at all. also, this was filmed around the time the 127 loverboy narrative was still ongoing hence the content narrative and the way it’s edited was heavily featured around everyone (here, markwoo, again) wanting yuta’s affection but the affection is hard to attain. 

jungwoo chose to stay out of most of the discussion while mark led it. jungwoo has been like this in most of the episodes so it wasn’t significant here as many fans think jungwoo was also jealous (jungwoo appears straight to me and definitely not interested in yuta romantically, why would he be jealous?) jungwoo is naturally a quiet and calm person who tends to stay in the background unless the attention is on him. and only then is his idolsona ramped up to 1000. the only episode he led and was rather animated in was the one with sungchan because he and sungchan are very close predebut friends who don’t often get to show their friendship on camera. 

0 - 1.00: breaking the ice- establishing yuxiao are awkward while yuta jokes they aren’t. nothing noteworthy here.

1.01: mark’s voice- this is how he speaks when he’s flustered recalling a story about yuta. he rarely uses this voice and there’s a reason i picked up on it because it’s the shy giggly voice he uses when he speaks about yuta. we haven’t heard it in a while since he stopped talking about yuta (such as mark lee johnson, the necklace yuta got him, etc).

1:14: mark asks about the two dyeing their hair. he comments that he likes xiaojun’s but goes quiet when it’s yuta’s turn to answer. this is a common habit of mark’s - he goes quiet when yuta’s physical appearance is mentioned and instead stares at yuta like he wants to say something but chooses not to. it’s a common behaviour when you’re attracted to someone and trying to hide it.

2.12: the script wants them to discuss the “wall hitting” (kabedon) moment which is why yuxiao went viral in the first place. mark was taking too long to get to the point and say the word so jungwoo did it for him then mark repeated it. yuta’s reaction when he hears mark say the word:

and of course when the picture is revealed, yuta is more focussed on mark’s reaction:

yuta letting us know the staff took it out of context (well, really it was the fandom who made a screenshot viral) 

2.51:  yuta goes on to basically explain how it was taken out of context to look shippy when really it was a natural reflex when he was talking to xiaojun.

2.56: yuta says he does this to mark and jungwoo sometimes too and mark responds he hasn’t done this to him. this looks like yuta was trying to make the action seem normal (he does it with other members too) since at this point it’s being portrayed negatively (awkward) hence the reassuring touch he gives xiaojun here

3.15: yuta blatantly says he doesn’t want people to misunderstand and it isn’t the big (shippy) deal they made it out to be. it isn’t a kabedon so yuta shows what he really meant.

3.35: mark’s reaction when yuta suddenly holds xiaojun’s hand. he wasn’t jealous, just taken aback by the suddenness and laughs with xiaojun who was also startled. 

3.37: however, the longer yuta holds xiaojun’s hand, something in mark starts to switch because he keeps glancing at their hands.

3:48 oh yuta, why does your expression look so deflated while you do this and look at mark? not even a smile? 

the captions added “(jealous)” while jungwoo speaks but jungwoo was unbothered the entire time. it’s mark who couldn’t even comment on it.

3:51: mark letting us know there’s a script. he didn’t mention it in any of the other eps. heh

4.01: yuta was so determined to make it appear they are not awkward but mark wants to hear the truth from xiaojun 

4.46: mark begins to move to the next segment but gets distracted by their hands again, this time even blurting out how long they’re going to hold hands for. why, is it bothering you mark? he also used that same flustered voice related to yuta i mentioned in the beginning

and notice how in the following nct 127 promotions, yuta was seen holding mark’s hand a lot more and in romantic scenarios (such as the vampire video where mark talks about wanting to find love)

5.35: mark wants to see yuta’s nct ranking? mark, you and the rest of the world already know you’re number 1. of course yuta will also state the obvious. despite what was going on with yumark behind the scenes, (mark on the way to finally confessing his feelings), yuta still gives mark a finger heart and let’s him know he’ll always be his number one.

5.39: mark’s stare at yuta, the little pause, blink and laugh. then adding “ok, got it” before yuta gets the hint and answers mark is no1. he wanted yuta to say it. yuta got the hint immediately.

one of the few genuine smiles from yuta we got in the whole 8 mins:

6.09: when xiaojun mentions yuta is scary, mark immediately agrees saying “right x3″ he inserted himself into the situation, recalling how he also found yuta intimidating before getting to know him (think about younger mark’s crush, he was intimidated and bewitched by yuta). however, xiaojun explains instead that it’s because yuta is so handsome, to which mark is shocked because xiaojun took the shippy route. so at 6.20 mark tries to move on.

6.29: the hugging got to mark. his voice got serious suddenly and he once again inserted himself into the situation. “yuta doesn’t hug people much unless he really likes them” and who does yuta hug the most, mark? glad you noticed it and you’re finally talking about it! mark shies away from talking about how yuta likes him, in fact, never bluntly bringing the subject up. however, jealousy often makes people start to confess things they otherwise keep to themselves. in this case, mark talking about yuta’s feelings towards him (even if implicitly) 

6:33 jungwoo’s “you were chosen” which mark doesn’t react positively to, and mark usually reacts positively to things jungwoo says, jungwoo is his hilarious best friend after all. but this, no.

6.40: yuta saying it’s nice to hear compliments about his looks in a while and mark starts laughing bewildered at jungwoo (who again, isn’t bothered) but it seems to be mark’s coping mechanism in this entire video. and then of course, mark says he’s moving on.

7.49: oh yuta, you initiated it but again, your boundaries won’t let you do it, unless it’s mark, and especially not with mark watching. when mark notices xiaojun coming closer into yuta’s personal space, his hand automatically starts to come between them too, his expression changes to surprised and then yuta himself moves away with “stop!”

yuta, you can’t even play it up a little more? what happened to the old you? and look where mark’s hand was revealed to be when yuta moves away, in a position to also moving xiaojun away

 of course, you’re looking at mark while saying that

and mark is just in disbelief - another cry for help.

8.06: yuta covers his awkward and sudden outburst with a hug for xiaojun instead.

8.20: and finally, the eye contact and hug before they leave. this is perhaps one of the most important moments in the whole video. one, because it’s the first time in months  yuta hugged mark like this- the way he used to on camera all the time. if yuta supressed touching mark like this on camera (since we haven’t seen it for a long time, along with the backhugs, chokeholds, random embraces, etc), then it’s significant that he did it in this context- it was an outburst. given by the eye contact and suddenness of the hug, it was an emotional outburst that wasn’t meant to happen. he wasn’t meant to make this content about him and mark at all. their relationship wasn’t bought up by either jungwoo or mark in their script (albeit, mark did implicitly, he slipped it in there with the ranking question), unlike last year’s version where it was about yumark vs yuwin.  

i’m sorry you had to sit through this, you’re always the only one.

8:23: mark’s expression (during?) after the hug. he didn’t expect yuta to have an emotional outburst and make it about them and what they have. it wasn’t supposed to get serious. 

8:23: and of course, a friendly embrace for xioajun too, to shake off the awkwardness this content further caused them, heh

[what-if-nct]

as an earth dominant person i would like to officially agree doyoung does in fact seem earthy.. (but his rising is scorpio tho ig)

also.. we just have three earths in nct? kun, jeno, sungchan...

He does have equal parts Capricorn and Aquarius. He just seems more grounded, stable, sure of himself and dependable. Air signs kinda feels flakey and well more just up in the air and fun and free. The most carefree. Fire and Air signs are definitely the wild cards. Water signs can be chaotic as well. Esp Scorpios. Taurus I think are the chilliest earth sign. And yep only 3 earth signs. It kind of explains why NCT is the way NCT is. There's 9 air signs, 6 fire signs, and 5 water signs. Look at all of those air signs. Most are Aquariuses which is one of the most rare signs. There's only one Virgo the most common sign. No wonder there's so much chaos. To be fair if you compare them to Skz there's 2 air, 2 water, 1 fire and 3 earth. 3 Virgos at that. And on of the most chaotic members is a Virgo. Also the Leo and the Scorpio of course. Felix feels more like water. But Seungmin oh that man is A VIRGO. I can't even tell you what Han feels like, plus with his predebut little gremlin behaviour.
