i've been tryna figure out why his new album is annoying me sm but this summed it up https://www.reddit.com/r/kpopnoir/comments/zbgl1r/this_man_is_really_trying_to_new_year_new_me/

like 😭 i wouldn't mind if his interviews didn't include him saying on national television that his speciality was 'black english' instead of waxing poetic in ur songs, he has yet to at least give a directly worded apology like its bonkers lbr

lmao omg.... ok yeah i totally agree with you he's just trying to change the public narrative around him and failing at it (unlike taylor swift). no one but armys buy that he "apologized" and "owned up" to his numerous racist mistakes in that 2016 vlive. that shit is still out there and he is still profitting off it

He has some fucking nerve saying i don't know this fool when his entire career has been built off said foolery

I got scara the same day his banner came out (after pulling Jean c1, yanfei c3, gorou c3, faruzan c2 and Heizou-) and ever since then I've been grinding for the past few weeks to get AT LEAST c3. I did like 3 ten pulls in the past week, had 5 migraines and a messed up sleep schedule to try and get him again but NOTHING until today. I saw people saying they played bohemian rhapsody n they ended up getting him so I told myself (in joking-) hey, why not do the same since I saved up another 10 fate today. WHEN I PULLED THE STAR THINGY TURNED YELLOW?? I HIT MY KNEE AND TWISTED MY ANKLE WHEN THAT HAPPENED AND I ENDED UP GETTING HIS C1 AND FARUZAN C3. WHAT TOM FOOLERY HIS THIS.

OMG I GOT A HEIZOU ON SCARA BANNER 2 .. well i got him on the weapon banner but i love him sm i wasn’t mad <3 YAY IM GLAD U GOT HIM AGAIN THO !!! i’m on a pulling strike until the next banner .. i manager 2 get scara & his weapon w itto’s the day he came out so i’m happy w just that sob >_< GOOD LUCK GETTING C3 THO MY LOVE !!! wishing u sm luck !!!

WayV and what their problem is

Kun: Takes care of 6 brats without rest. Constantly overlooked by SM. Could’ve been a pilot-magician-drone-flyer but instead he’s stuck with Ten, Yangyang, and all their pets.

Ten: Can’t take a compliment. Teases others mercilessly. Learns languages jsut to insult others. Rolls his eyes too often. Makes good art and says that it’s bad.

Winwin: No one ever knows what’s on his mind. Random bouts of talking followed by being silent for weeks straight. NCT loves him but he only loves Yangyang who only loves Ten.

Lucas: Flirts too much. Looks like that™ but acts like a giant puppy. Always hungry. The type to ask for one bite but eats most of the food.

Xiaojun: Loves his dog more than people. Flaunts his muscles when no one is asking like??? Voice of an angel but doesn’t have an OST out it is a crime.

Hendery: Games too much. Acts like that™  for no other reason than to cause chaos. Has no business looking really handsome as he does acts of tom foolery. Would probably kill himself somehow without adult supervision. Gremlin 1.

Yangyang: Gremlin 2. Is too cute and has everyone whipped and knows it. Is an absolute brat. Loves Louis and Leon but never cleans their litter box. Wants even more pets, probably. Acts sexy and then cute.

sometimes I visit ur blog & I leave an ask and then forget I did so for like 5 years n then I come back and there's so many other asks and I forget what I asked but its still so fun to read thru yo responses until I finally figure out which one was mine lol this blog is sm fun

thanks dude i try hard to answer most of the asks i get sent and it do take me a while. recently ive been a little less precious abt answering, just typing up whatever foolery that is top of mind on my phone rather than lugging my laptop open. im glad my jokes and horsing around continue to be a fun time for y’all visiting translightyagami HQ.

[wakeupfreanz]

Hello, i'm the person who ask about Irene and her self reflection. Well i'm disappointed but not surprised. Just like you, I love red velvet, and the album Monster it's so good (by the way they should have nomination for it). When you think about it, Irene has the mask of a monster in the music video... SM knew what they were doing. I just hope for the other member to have decent behavior. Thank you for taking time to answer my ask.

Hi, no problem! We’ll just have to hope and see. The universe doesn’t take kindly to unnecessary foolery, so she’ll likely get served a lesson she’ll have no choice but to understand.

[littleziisa]

finally sliced finger while attempting to cut dried bread 9pm.

Been cooking sm this was inevitable some day. Called the emergency duty & this is just small enough to heal without needing a hospital visit, 1mm more and there would’ve been stitches :’> the first scare was a lot bc BOY IT BLED but im supposed to clean this week & celebrate samhain on thursday bruhh ;-;;; lot of 1-handed foolery to be expected

[kimchikai-sooshi]

See... by releasing enlistment and concert news on the same day, SM has proved (again, like wbk) how mentally dense the people behind it are...

But we don't need such another foolery in the name of releasing (finally OMG 😭) ChanHun's 1st album as a sub unit on 1st July...

It is already enough that the month is same. So I hope they would select a date WHICH IS NOT 1st JULY!! 🔥

Hello, friends~

As many of you know, I put Kim Jongin on blast a week or two ago, because this is the second (2nd) time he's uploaded a picture of himself in dreads to his IG, and I was Sick And Tired™. I've been riding for Jongin since he was masquerading as a dom top (if you don't know, you don't know), so that shit rly hurt my feelings.

Anyway, there's no real reason for me to be bringing this up, I just wanted to assert that Jongin wearing dreads is Wrong.

Moving on…

What I *actually* wanna talk about is what has been a v hot topic in EXO's fandom for years - how badly managed/promoted EXO is.

Now, before I begin, I will not entertain the idea that SM is somehow mistreating EXO because they aren't getting as much of a promotion push than their juniors. While it does suck that SM seems to just throw EXO albums at us and expects us to be content, you will not call that mistreatment.

NCT and Red Velvet getting a bigger promotional push than EXO is not mistreatment, it's just business.

Business that I'd like to explain to y'all, because I've been thinking about recently this, and it rly does go deeper than ~EXO doesn't rly need it anymore~.

So!! The year is 2012. Unbeknownst to my Black ass, SM is gearing up for the debut of their newest boy band, codename EXO, with a ridiculous ass teaser campaign.

No seriously, 18 teasers and you haven't even unveiled a debut song yet?!?!?! Flagrant.

I wasn't with EXO since The Beginning™, but close enough; I happened upon EXO-M's version of What Is Love while looking for sumn to watch on tv, and my wig was immediately blasted to space dust. What is Love wasn't the first K-Pop MV I saw that night (it was either B.A.P's Warrior or miss A's Touch), but it was the one that stuck with me.

See, I had no idea who or what a K-Pop was outside of vaguely knowing a few idol groups friends tried to put me on previously. It was *Jasmine voice* A Whole New World~ for me, and EXO was on the fast track to becoming my very first bias group. MAMA was an overdramatic mess that I absolutely fucking loved, and you couldn't tell me their debut EP wasn't The Shit™.

A heaux still Rolls Like A Buffalo™ to Two Moons, bitch!!

Fast forward one (1) year, and EXO are back (as twelve) with their first album (and K-Pop's first million seller in over a decade) XOXO. Girl, when I tell you replayed that album like it was the one thing holding me together… I was a whole MESS!! I'd become more of a full fledged K-Pop fan in EXO's absence (more on that later), but I was overjoyed to have my boys back.

Now, why am I going over this?!!? This is all fairly common knowledge among EXO L, but many of the current generation EXO L rolled up on EXO during their EXODUS/Love Me Right era. Which was 2015. So you have a bunch of EXO L who, first of all, are part of a whole new generation of K-Pop fans who consume K-Pop very differently than those of us who were fans back in 2012.

K-Pop standom these days is very social media focused, with many of our favorite idols having SNS accounts of their own where they interact with us. K-Pop fans these days are practically spoiled with content when idols aren't promoting/on tour. It rly feels like idols never truly ~go away~, because if they did, it'd leave an opening for someone else to take their place.

Something we saw when group B.A.P filed a joint lawsuit against their management agency and disappeared for a whole year.

This is where, I think, a lot of the "EXO Isn't Promoted" foolery comes from; EXO are not heavily on social media like many of their current generation contemporaries are. They don't do v lives like them, and have very few reality shows focused on them. Coupled with the fact that much of the content we do get from EXO is behind a pay wall, I definitely understand where the frustration comes from.

But let me add another layer to this, kids. It's my belief that SM doesn't feature EXO like that, because EXO were supposed to redeem SM in the public's eye for the JYJ/Hangeng lawsuits. But they, instead, embarrassed the absolute shit out of them.

Ooh, I bet y'all are all sat at attention now.

Level with me here, folks - EXO was SM's first debut since the Hangeng/JYJ cases blew up and rained doo doo flakes upon SM's reputation. SM had just renegotiated contracts with all their debuted acts to show that they aren't the monsters that JYJ and Hangeng were making them out to be. EXO was supposed to be SM's redemption arc, but there was one little problem - a 6ft stunner by the name of Kris Wu.

Fun fact - Suho, Jongin, and Kris were my original biases in EXO. Bet no one saw that coming.

Kris was always an oddball in EXO. Sure, he definitely fit the look of a K-Pop idol, but man's had far bigger aspirations. Ones that routinely got him in trouble with management. Remember that year long hiatus EXO took after their debut?!?! Rumor has it that it was caused by SM exiling Kris back to Canada, because of tensions between him and one of EXO's managers.

EXO returning as twelve was also, allegedly, because SM wanted to keep tabs on Kris, while also trying to bolster EXO K's popularity in Korea. Allegedly, tho.

Kris saw being in EXO as a way to jumpstart a career as a Chinese entertainer, but he ultimately decided that it wasn't worth it in the end. In May of 2014, he filed suit against SM to have his contract with the agency terminated.

Once again - why am I bringing this up?!! This is all common knowledge in EXO L circles. Well, it was extraordinarily shocking at the time.

As I've stated previously, EXO was SM's first boy band since the JYJ/Hangeng lawsuits. They had just finished renegotiating contracts with all of their active idols to comply with new rules and standards set in place by the government. For all intents and purposes, SM should have had no problems, like the Tinashe song.

But they did.

Kris, in many of the infamous press releases he released in reply to what SM was saying to the media, painted a very familiar story to many of us. He alleged that SM greatly limited his creative freedom, and treated him like a manufactured product. I remember him saying he felt like a box, at one point, and that hit me hard. He also alleged that SM worked him so hard that he developed myocarditis (a heart condition), and that there was rampant favoritism (claims that would also be backed up by a lawsuit launched by Luhan).

It was not a good look for SM, fam.

As a result of Kris' suit, the fandom was split. You had one camp that supported Kris, and another that supported SM/EXO. It didn't help that many of the EXO members spoke out against Kris, with Suho (the leader) saying he was being irresponsible and he needs to come back so they can work this out.

Messy™

Later that year, Luhan went onto launch his own suit against SM (which was more supported by the fandom *is totally not bitter anymore*), citing almost exactly the same complaints as Kris while also going so far as to allege that the Chinese members had different contracts than the Korean ones.

And if you thought that was bad enough, seemingly RoD member Tao decides he's done with the bullshit too, and files his own lawsuit against SM. DURING EXO'S CALL ME BABY COMEBACK PROMOTIONS!!

TALK ABOUT MESSINESS, SIS!!

Say what you want about Tao, but he rly does know how to cause a scene, and I admire that.

So yeah… Talk about a public relations nightmare.

Korean netizens were firmly on SM's side during this entire trial, but Kris, Luhan, and Tao managed to deal an even greater blow to SM's rep than JYJ/Hangeng did. Not that I think it's right, but it's plenty clear why SM doesn't rly feature EXO much anymore.

Not only are they getting older (Xiumin just enlisted a month ago), but SM is clearly trying to move past EXO, as a group. Which idk how they're gonna do that when they routinely refuse members who are not Baekhyun or Jongdae solo opportunities, but whatever. With NCT taking off (pun intended) everywhere except Korea, it's going to be quite a while before the EXO name gets retired.
