#yongyong he's gone

[tavina-writes]

Hi! For the mid autumn ask game, would you do Qin Su? Or Ningning? I want a female character other than JYL (and your OC totally counts). Thanks!

Happy Mid Autumn Nonny!

I wrote about Qin Su here, so I went with Ningning for this one. :D

---------

She is twenty years old, though that does not mean she is too old to be sent to kneel in the family shrine in front of the ancestor's memorial placards, and it is Mid Autumn, so her father should not have sent her off to do so, but Ningning...

If it wasn't her, punished to kneel here in the shrine overnight tonight, it would've been Yongyong, and he is too small still to spend the night alone with nothing but the promise of ghosts and the weight of all their ancestor's gazes pressed onto his shoulders. 

It is true that she is not outside in the courtyard, with the other young disciples, sharing mooncakes as they spoke in hushed voices. And it is true that because she has upset her father, she will not be there to hear him compose the year's poem to the autumn moon, which he has done every year since before she was born, but to her at least, in some ways, this is a blessing. 

It is doubly true that her knees will be bruised and she will barely be able to walk when she is freed from the shrine tomorrow before lunch and that she will have missed dinner and breakfast and that she will not sleep all night, but if it is not her, then it will be Yongyong, and her brother is five years old. The last time he was in here, he had cried to her later that he had heard the statues of the two lost princesses crying all night. 

She, at least is grown and has been so for some years in the eyes of the world. The lost princesses are silent to her. 

Her mother has a memorial tablet here, in an out of the way corner, and the candle before it had gone out, but the rest of the candles are lit, and she had replaced the incense while she was standing earlier, so for now, she clasps her hands in front of her and waits for morning, and the sound of her father's boots on the wooden steps outside.

Song of the Week

The k-drama watch will be back next week, when I’m not starting coaching again and stressing about a set of interviews. Also, Rain is back this week? So that’s happening . . . 

Honorable Mentions:

Quick shout out to Mirrorball Music. They do a K-Indie Playlist/Podcast thing every week. It is in Korean, so that may be a dealbreaker for some, but it does show the current indie charts, which is interesting to see, and a good way to get an idea about what the Korean public is interested in. Here is the link for the most recent one [x].

Eldon continues to do quirky weird tracks that manage to follow fairly mainstream pop ideas while still feeling off the beaten track. Also, his lyrics are pretty damn great. Like who includes Murphy’s Law in their lyrics? They are all in English too, so is English Korean indie music is your thing . . . Anyways, Law fits into the same style as his previous stuff, so if you’ve liked him before, you will probably like him now.

Love seeing an MV with a romance behind masks. On the other hand, you cannot convince me that people are actually going out into the world looking that good while doing masks. Do other people actually do that? I’ve worn make up like twice since the stay at home order, and it was for video interviews. I’m confused if it is an ad for XX (watch it, it’s a great little web drama!), but I too would fall in love with Hani on sight. Anyways, the song is Someday by Kim Feel.

Another great video to watch is Lilboi and Wonstein’s Friends. It is filled with film and tv references, and fits the song incredibly well. Not a lot more to say, just an enjoyable couple of minutes.

Idol Round Up:

- Fireworks by ATEEZ. As per usual, there are parts I like, but the combo of all of it doesn’t grab me. IDK why I can’t seem to get into this group.

- Blood Night by G.reyish. Interesting ideas, but the driving bass line started getting on my nerves pretty early.

- All or Nothing by WEi. I am over this theme in boy groups, which is not WEi’s fault.

- Not Over by MCND. I like it better than their debut, don’t like the chorus.

VERIVERY continues to impress, this week with Get Away. I feel like they are constantly evolving their sound in small ways, that keeps a through line while also feeling new. I love the octave jumps in the vocal line, the copious amounts of falsetto, and the stripped down initial chorus that gets more complex as the track goes on. It is much more mature sound than I would normally expect from a young group like this one. Frankly, I usually don’t think that younger groups can handle it, but this is a solid attempt. I would say the worst part is actually the video, that feels very box-set based, and WAY lower budget than their previous stuff.

 I a little bit adore the sound that Yongyong has in He’s Gone. It feels incredibly nostalgic for me, with vibes of all the music I listened to as a pre-teen. She caries it well, and the style fits her nasally tone really well. IDK why it cuts off at a rap of the second song, which is thoroughly confusing, but whatever.

I think there is an interesting contrast to be had between JYP and Rain. While there is a huge age difference, JYP only debuted 4 years earlier. And they are both well out of the period in their careers where they were incredibly important to the music scene (JYP in the late 90s/early 2000s, and Rain in the mid 2000s). And both have continued to release music after that success has waned, with different results. Rain the last couple of years has released a couple of fun tracks, been part of a cultural phenomenon, and is generally seen pretty positively by the K-pop community. JYP has dropped stuff that has been memed for making his own artists cringed, and has sung bad covers that have also been memed. Now, to be fair, the K-pop community hates JYP because he couldn’t manage a boy group to save his life, and his girl groups replace each other incredibly easily. But his music is also not particularly well received by the community. No one talks about When We Disco, which had SUNMI on it, but GAANG was everywhere (probably by luck, but still). Anyways, I thought about this while being mildly bored listening to Why Don’t We, because it sounds like every other boy group right now, but at least it doesn’t sound like the 90s (*cough* JYP *cough*).
