"And I am a hoe for you."

The energy was at an all time high and when Hoseok jumped several feet high in the air, the lights went out indicating the end of the show.

He landed rather wonkily and his ears still blared with the beats he was listening and dancing to for more than an hour. He runs around the stage in the darkness like a maniac until he comes to a halt right behind the blinders and laughs. He laughs till he feels his mind go blank, ears still ringing and feet giving up to stay still.

The crowd was going fucking crazy and he reveled in their shouts, raising his hands above his head welcomingly and closing his eyes while bending backwards.

He takes deep breaths to calm down but he needs another outlet for his adrenaline and he perfectly knows where he can find it.

You were one of his backup dancers and were heading towards the washrooms to get rid of the sweat and change. The set Hoseok had prepared was a fucking banger and everyone around you was still living through the after effects from the show of high energy by the team and the rapper.

"Damn J, you look like a meal." you had told him when he had walked out in his all black ensemble, hair a curly mess, covering his foreheads and shadowing his eyes.

"You, are my meal, Y/N." he had winked at you and pranced off with a smug smirk knowing the effect he had on you.

And indeed, you were flushed and done for at that exact moment.

Now all you hope is for him to follow you into one of these stalls and fuck your brains out like the way he always does after his shows. You were his favourite dancer after all.

You change your mind quickly, eagerly. Donning a pair of white pants, which hugged your waist perfectly, accentuating your ass and a neon green corset top which almost spilled your breasts out, you strutted towards the way opposite from the washroom, towards the private rooms of the crew.

Even though you were sweaty, there was another wetness between your legs which was a result of Hoseok's tongue spitting bars on the stage looking like a filthy god.

That man knew your weakness and would sneak glances at you while purposefully lolling his tongue out and thrusting his hips like the bastard he was. He even got close to spanking your ass once on the stage when you were bent over in a step but then retracted his hand and continued dancing as if nothing had happened. You had laughed unbelievably and now you are dead set on getting him to spank you for real.

You sneaked into his dressing room but it was empty. The doors were wide open which meant someone had used the room recently but there was no one in sight.

You huff disappointedly and move to go out of the room when a hand wraps around your wrist and pushes you up against the wall roughly, your cheeks pressed against it and Hoseok pressed against you from behind.

He palms your ass softly and just as you close your eyes at the feeling, a loud slap sounds and you let out a surprised moan at the sting it leaves behind on your ass cheek.

He had spanked you for real.

"At fucking last." he growls into your ear and nibbles on your earlobe hungrily.

His hands palm your ass roughly and you stick it out further, wiggling it in front of him when you suddenly feel his hard on wedge itself between your cheeks. He was rock hard and you squirmed at the feeling while he brought his gloved hands to your front and palmed your breasts, pushing you off the wall and completely slotting himself against you.

You instinctively bring your hands to his hair at the nape of his neck and tug on them, when he groans.

"You did so well, J." you moan into his ear and kiss his neck. He almost immediately spins you around and crushes his lips against yours, kissing you ferociously.

"I almost spanked you on the stage." he laughs and feasts on your inviting neck, nibbling and sucking at the points he knows all too well.

You whimper as you start walking towards the couch with him still attached to you, "Everyone knows that."

"I don't fucking care, especially when you looked like that."

You push him onto the couch and a shiver passes down your spine, straight to your cunt when he says those words.

"Come here, baby." he extends his hands at you and you go into his hold, hot and needy. His skin was burning, all red from the post-concert euphoria. He kisses you again, all teeth and rough as you straddle him. His head falls back and you eagerly dive to his neck. He grabs your waist tightly and moves to fondle your ass once again, spanking it and laughing like the menace he was when you jerked up at his action.

You grind down him as he thrusts up instinctively, both of you moaning at the contact of his bulge with your core.

"Gotta treat you well." you murmur in his ear and get off him, settling on your knees in front of him and fumbling with his pants. He quickly grabs your mouth, a gloved hand on your cheeks as it puckers your lips and leans down to put his tongue into it.

He tugs you towards him as your hands work swiftly on his pants and soon he is just sitting in his boxers, painfully hard. He lets go of you and leans back with his hands in your hair and his form heavily panting. His eyelids, heavy with lust and intoxication, close instinctively and lips form a smirk when you free his dick.

"Always ready for me, yeah doll?" he asks you and brings his dick to your lips. You obediently open up and nod at him with big eyes and his tip inside your mouth.

You suck at it slightly and he sharply takes in a breath. Your eyes dance over his features, gauging his reaction and when he grows impatient at you not moving, he lightly pushes your head down his shaft.

"Focus, doll." he says and you move hungrily. Your hand grips the base of his cock as you bob your head up and down his length with vigour, hollowing your cheeks and looking up at him through your lashes.

His cock twitches in your mouth and he moans at the sight in front of him. You detach yourselves from his cock and skillfully lick its underside, twirling your tongue around his head and tasting the precum gathered over there. His hands grip your hair tighter and you smirk while moving one of your hands to his balls, and the other stroking his length. You palm his balls, trying to get him to react more at your ministrations and he does.

"Fuck, Y/N."

You proudly suck his tip once more before going all down. You try to accommodate his whole length inside your mouth but fail miserably and thus use your hand to stroke the rest of him. He groans lowly and your pussy clenches around nothing at the sinful noise of his pleasure. You pick up pace and his cock twitches vigorously inside your mouth when he suddenly stops your actions, pulling you off his dick with a swift motion of his hand on your hair.

You stay on your knees, a string of saliva connecting you to his length standing tall and hard. Your makeup has smudged and you both were panting heavily while looking at each other with sheer hunger. His cock twitched even at the sight of you all ruined, just for him.

You looked angelic, and he thinks maybe it was because of the drug he took before his performance but you emanated a soft sinful glow and he wanted to drown in it.

"I want to taste you." he whispers and you stand up, pushing him down in a way so his head rests on the armrest and he lies down on the couch.

He curiously watches you as you rid yourself of your clothes, letting the air hit your sweaty body but still unable to cool it down.

His eyes deviously rake over your body and he grabs one of your tits, sitting up to flick his tongue over the hardened nub. You whimper and push him again, swinging your leg over him so that his face is at your ass and yours is on his dick.

"You are so eager." you say and contradictorily dive in to take him between your lips once again.

"Aren't you being adventurous now?" he speaks into your cunt and you visibly shiver at the vibrations it sends up your spine. Stroking his dick lazily, you kiss his tip and respond,

"Weren't you being adventurous on the stage?"

He laughs and grabs your thighs as he quickly latches his mouth at your clit. You shudder at the sudden motion and jerk forward, hand gripping his cock tightly. Both of you moan loudly, together and yet again you feel yourself get weak in the knees.

You struggle to keep up your pace on his dick as his tongue laps at your folds like a man starved. His cock twitches wildly when you whimper against it and you mindlessly lap at it, licking a stripe from his base to the head and then encasing it between your lips as you suck it. He responds by gripping you tighter with his gloved hands and sucking your hardened bud as your arousal trickled down onto him.

The sight was sinful, and the lewd noises coming out of both of you were the definition of sin. He licks up your juices, spurring you to get wetter and wetter under his ministrations while you all but stop at his cock. Your hand lazily gives him a handjob and he tugs your ass towards him quickly.

One of his hands come to your cunt and he slaps your clit suddenly, his glove getting wet but him enjoying the view. You shout out loud and he enters you with his tongue, spreading your ass cheeks with his hands.

"I can never get enough of you." he mumbles into your hole and you feel electricity jolt your body.

He had always been vocal during fucking you, but he had never spoken words so intimate, always opting to let you know you were just one of his many fucks. But this time, he was onto you differently and your mind soared through the fog of lust and intoxication.

"Mm baby, you taste so sweet," he kisses your clit and then, his tongue picks up pace skillfully as you moan into the dim light of the room, air stinking of arousal, and he continues,"so wet, all for me?"

Your walls clench around his tongue as you feel yourself getting close.

"Yes. Oh my god J, don't stop." you tightly grip his thighs and rest your cheek near the base of his dick, tongue lolling out to lick it slowly.

He rubs at your clit with his gloved finger and that being the final straw, you topple over the edge as your orgasm washes over you in thick waves of haze and euphoria. It takes you a whole minute to get down from the high when you feel him licking your pussy clean of your cum with the ever rising overstimulation.

"No, stop." you cry out and he immediately pauses, fondling your ass sweetly, and leaves a chaste peck over one of the cheeks as he helps you get off him.

As soon as you get on your feet, he stands up and kisses you, pulling you flush to his chest as his hard on pressed against your stomach. You could taste yourself on him and his tongue explored each and every crevice of your mouth before you broke the kiss, panting heavily from the afterglow of the orgasm and effects of the sudden kiss.

He leads you to the couch quickly as you lay your head on the armrest. He rolls over on top of you and takes one of the nipples in his mouth, savoring it and your whimpers.

"You sound like a fucking siren, so pretty."

You couldn't contain yourself when you brought up your hands to grasp his long, soft curls in your hands and tugged at them. He groans into your breasts and as if almost immediately, you feel his tip prod at your entrance.

"Gonna fuck you good like the slut you are for me."

His raspy voice sends your mind into an overdrive as you inhale swiftly when he enters you, not stopping to let you accommodate to his girth and quickly bottoms out.

"Jay." you moan his name when he starts moving slowly, his eyes shut at the feeling of your walls clenching tightly around him and your voice moaning out his name.

"So fucking tight, doll." he whispers and you almost shed a tear as his speed increases and soon enough he is ramming his cock into you.

He rids himself of his shirt and takes your ankle, bringing it up to his shoulder so as to get better access to your pussy.

He growls manically when your walls suck him in quickly in the new position and his gloved hand instinctively wraps itself around your throat lightly. Not cutting off air, just enough to make it pleasurable. You moan loudly at it and he quickly says your name as his cock pounds into you at an unforgivable pace and goes down to bite at your shoulder.

Tears well up in your eyes and they start streaming down your face, a result of the immense pleasure you felt due to him at that moment. You shout loudly and grab his biceps tighter to keep yourself from slipping away.

"I- Oh my god, Y/N." he groans into your skin as you feel his cock twitch inside you, indicating he was close.

"So filthy, my little whore." Your pussy clenches so tightly at his words, he staggers slightly and then swallows your noises with his lips as his dick repeatedly hits your g-spot deliciously, ferociously, roughly.

You could feel your forthcoming orgasm once more and as he pinches your clit with his free hand, waves of cum gush out of you and you fall limp in his hold, trying hard to not black out by the best orgasm you had ever felt.

You see white spots behind your closed lids and your legs shake uncontrollably, especially when you feel him shooting his hot cum inside you, painting your walls white and collapsing onto you with a painfully relieved groan.

A hot minute passes before any of you speaks.

You were reveling in the post-euphoric state of your intense orgasm and you mindlessly card your hands through his curls as he laid on top of your panting body, him in a similar state.

"Fuck that was amazing." he laughs into your skin and starts pressing kisses on your naked body softly, his hands removing the stray hair from your face. He slowly starts moving from over you and kisses you chastely before moving towards the restroom.

"It was." you speak into nothingness and close your eyes to conserve the bliss within them.

He soon emerges from the door with a wet towel in his hands and settles between your legs. Patting it at your folds, he softly cleans you up, making you devoid of his and your cum. He kisses your inner thigh while at it and you squirm at the tingling sensation. He laughs and casts the towel aside, coming up to kiss your forehead.

Your breathing stills as he had never done so, ever. He had always been soft post sex but you both were walking a fine line now.

"Jay?" you whisper when he looks at you with stars in his eyes.

"You are so beautiful." and he kisses you again, slowly, savouring his time with you. You grip his biceps and curl your toes at the soft intensity. His hand rests on your inner thigh and you wince a little.

"Are you sore?"

"A little." you laugh at the obvious answer,"but not much to stop you yet." you wink and he groans.

"Such a good girl, I am sorry." he smiles and kisses your cheek,"The adrenaline was crazy as fuck."

"Didn't I help you well?" you mischievously ask while licking a stripe up his cheek and kissing him just below the eye.

"You always do. A doll for me." he nudges his nose with yours and suddenly goes down to nip at your neck.

"I am a hoe for you, J." you say, eyes getting dark again with the sensation of his tongue on your neck.

He fondles your breasts with both his hands and glides his tongue across the valley between your tits and stares at you with dark eyes, now devoid of intoxication but filled with another drug, you.

"And I am a hoe for you." he kisses you and removes his gloves as his calloused hand comes in direct contact with your thigh and you smirk in between the kiss, ever ready for the next thing coming, which you know all too well as his hand sneaks further inside, between your legs.

Build Up Episode 0: Getting to Know the Boys Part 2: Team Soul

Hey friends! Continuing my introductory posts about the guys on MNET's Build Up before I can dive into proper recaps, here's the low down on Team Soul -- their background, basic info, and my opinion on their teaser performance (and other performances). (I did Team Allround last time.) Let's go!

Same disclaimers apply -- 1) these are all excellent vocalists and I am just splitting hairs here 2) this is taking forever and screencaps with my video source are tricky, so please forgive my awkward screencaps and occasional typos. Thank you!!

Ma Jaekyung

Jaekyung is 27 and from a group called Romeo, where he was the main vocalist and performed under the name of Kyle. He also appeared on Mixnine, that blighted show that produced a group that never debuted. It was such a fiasco, ugh, and so many trainees went through hell for nothing. Bitsaeon from M.O.N.T. , Jeong Inseong from KNK, and Donghun from A.C.E. all went on that as well, so they all might have gotten friendly then.

Jaekyung (and the other members of Romeo) also went on Peaktime, a show for idol groups that had already debuted but weren’t super successful, including Vanner (who won!), M.O.N.T, and BDC, so he may have met Taehwan, Bitsaeon (again), and Hong Seongjun. When Romeo was on Peaktime, they performed the SHINee song Juliette, which is a cute choice since that’s the name of their fandom. And then MNET didn’t bother airing that performance. Thanks, MNET! Themnet.

So, as for his group itself. Romeo was a 7 member group that debuted in May of 2015, when he would have been 18 years old. The group did slightly better in Japan than they did in Korea, but none of their Korean singles charted at all and most of their MVs have fewer than 200,000 views. Their biggest hit appears to be Lovesick. When the guys from Romeo went on Peaktime, they revealed that Romeo had disbanded at some point in the past.

In Jaekyung’s k-profiles listing, it says he’s” a 4D” kind of guy, so I guess we should watch out for his personality, if MNET will show it. It’s hard to picture a guy in a tan blazer as wacky, but we’ll see!

His teaser song was V25, Passing by Kim Bum Soo. For me, he has a really nasal tone to his singing that isn’t my favorite, and I am not a huge fan of his kind of wobbly vibrato, but like everyone on this show, he’s essentially a very good vocalist, with what seems like a very good sense of pitch. Again, it’s a ballad and my ears sort of turn off, so I’ll keep an open mind.

Seokhwa

Here is Kang Seokhwa, who is in WEi. He also went on YG Treasure Box, where he would have met CIX’s Seunghwan, and Produce X 101, where he ranked 35th and would have met two of the all rounders on this show, Choi Suhwan and BDC’s Hong Seongjun.

WEi, pronounced something like “we-eye”, is a six member group that debuted in 2020. WEi is almost entirely made up of contestants from Produce 101, Produce X 101, and Under 19, including some who won their seasons. Seokhwa is their main vocal. The WEi song Spray spent some time on my playlists recently, but I don’t know many of their other songs. WEi’s most popular member, Johan, is significantly more popular than the others; he came in first place in Produce X 101. Their videos get around 10-15 million views each, putting them slightly lower in the popularity ranking than CIX and AB6IX, but leagues ahead of IMFACT and Romeo.

I checked out an MR removed video of Spray and Seokhwa was really stable, so I can see why he’d come on the show. He’s V37, and it’s a ballad and you know me by now so it’s hard for me to give this a chance but he has a sweet voice that sounds best when he’s singing more softly, which can’t be said of everyone on this show. We’ve got a lot of belters here! He strains a bit on the higher notes, and I feel like he closes his throat a bit when he belts, but doesn’t get too nasal, which is good. He’s young yet -- he’s only 23, one of the younger people on the show -- and I hope he keeps working on his voice, because he has a lot of potential.

Donghun

Donghun will turning 31 at the end of February of this year (2024), and he’s already done his military service.

He is the main vocal of A.C.E., a five member group under Beat Interactive/Swing Entertainment that debuted in 2017 with the song Cactus. Their songs don’t chart in Korea, but they get into the top twenty on the US World Chart, because USA has taste, yo.

If there’s one song of theirs that I think you’d know it would be Goblin (Favorite Boys). But there’s also Under Cover, which is also a banger. Whoever did the subtitles on their older videos puts the names of the singers in, so you can easily find Donghun in their videos. Some of their older songs have 15-20 million views, but their newest comeback, an English language mid-tempo ballad called Effortless, has less than a million views, maybe because it’s in English? Or because it’s a mid-tempo ballad? I don’t know, if you like Who Do You Love by Monsta X, songs like that, you might like Effortless. Really, their songs are good. I feel like it’s a weird situation where everyone likes A.C.E. but somehow they’re still kind of nugu. I know, that doesn’t make sense.

Donghun went on Mixnine (he won 8th place and should have debuted), so he probably knows the other Mixnine contestants on this show: Bitsaeon from M.O.N.T., Ma Jaekhyung from Romeo, and Jeong Inseong from KNK. He may also know Park Jeup from when they both went on I Can See Your Voice 4.

He set himself up for a tough time by singing an EXO song for his teaser song (V20, Miracles in December). Literally no one can sing it like they can. Still, he does pretty well. He has an appealing warm vocal color and he really goes for that long held note, holding it with good breath support. I just worry because I can almost feel his throat straining on the higher notes. He hits them, but it’s got to hurt. He also relies on some pretty loud background vocals so it’s harder to tell how much of it is live. Despite that, he’s an excellent idol singer and I’ll always support A.C.E. and him.

Lee Minwook

Minwook is 23 and is in a group called Newkidd. I guess he likes vests? What, oh what, what on earth is up with the styling for these guys? Most of them are dressed like they’re going to a college interview. I don’t get it!

As far as I know, Minwook hasn’t been on any other survival type shows, making him one of the 15 members of the cast who haven’t (and 4 of those are musical actors).

Newkidd is a 7 member group under J-FLO Entertainment, an agency that manages only them, and the debuted in 2019. Most of their MVs get a million views or fewer. From what I can tell, their most popular song is Tu Eres, featuring the Spanish refrain “tu eres, tu eres, tu eres bonita” (you are, you are, you are pretty). The comments on the video are mostly in Spanish and show a lot of excitement about hearing Spanish in a Kpop song, and I can’t blame them! Representation! So maybe Newkidd is more popular in Spanish speaking countries and is courting that market. That’s smart -- it’s a huge market!

In his teaser, Minwook was V09, The Manuel by Eddy Kim, an example of a ballad I actually like -- it has some interesting chord progressions and isn’t sappy at all. I also like his performance. He seems to just be singing live while accompanied by just one guitar, which gives me faith in his vocals. I think his voice might be more “unique” than “soul” but these categories are pretty reductive anyway. He puts a lot of warmth into his lower notes and makes you almost feel like you understand what he’s singing. He doesn’t display his higher register or belt as much here, so I’ll be waiting to see more of what he can do.

Lim Sanghyun

Sanghyun is listed as a singer-songwriter, and he’s 27. He’s considered a ballad artist specifically, and is signed to MNH entertainment, where he releases mostly digital singles. I know the ballad market in Korea is really big, even if it’s not my favorite, so go for it, Sanghyun!

His teaser was V14, one of those kinds of ballads I hate so much that it’s hard for me to be fair. He sings in that classic K-ballad style, that kind of gruff whisper-sing, which can go either way for me depending on the song.I don’t think he ever really lets go and belts in his teaser, so I’ll be curious to hear what that would sound like.

Bain

This is Bain, age 22, and I adore his voice. (His name is pronounced “bane”, if you’re wondering, based on the hangul.)

Let me talk about him for a moment.

No, wait. Instead of me talking, you should just listen to this. It’s just a straight forward, earnest cover of Oliva Rodrigo’s Driver’s License, with no winky “ha ha I’m a boy singing this,” no sarcasm. Just a pure performance. His vibrato is so sweet. He exhibits barely a trace of nasality, and when it’s present, it’s for the emotion of the song. The notes he hits in his full chest voice? I can’t believe it. And his mixed register is like, chef’s kiss. I can’t. I just can’t. I’d never heard of him before this show, but I heard this performance and I was good. Even my fella was like, “wow, this guy has technique.” So you’re going to have to accept that I’m a Bain fan and will be cheering for him.

I had to look into Just B. They’re a 6 member group under Bluedot Entertainment, a subdivision of Kakao that manages only them. They debuted into 2021, and their members were contestants on Under 19, I-land, and a few other survival shows. (Side note: I watched a lot of I-land, but never saw any of Under 19. Starting to think I should add it to the list.) JustB has a few title tracks out at this point and they usually get about 10 millions views each. I listened to a few of them over the last few days (it’s taking me a while to write this recap) and I’ve come to like a few of their songs. Their most recent comeback is called Medusa, and though the lyrics make negative amounts of sense, it’s pretty catchy. I also liked Damage quite a bit. The group doesn’t seem to have set positions, but it seems that Bain and Geonu are more or less the main vocals.

Jay

Jay Chang, V02, age 22, famous for almost making it into Zerobase1, landing in 10th place. He’s American, with a white-Filipino-Chinese ethnic background, and on Boys Planet, he was extremely popular among the “Global” voters, but not very popular among the Korean voters. He also went on another show called Under 19 at some point, if you watched that -- I didn’t, but maybe I should. In case you didn’t watch Boys Planet, here is his initial audition to Rush Hour,and here is his performance of Exo’s Love Me Right (he was main vocal).

I know that most of my 3 or 4 readers are Jay fans, and that is cool by me. I’ve always thought he has a really really lovely, clean vocal color, he has good stage presence, and I think he’s basically a nice guy, though he sorta gives me fuckboi vibes sometimes. I also think -- and don’t get mad at me, ok? -- I also think that he needs to work on his pitchiness and nasality. That’s true in both the opening notes of his Rush Hour audition, and at points in his Baby Baby teaser song. He was one of the top 3 or 4 vocalists among the Boys Planet boys, but he’s in a different setting now and might just be outsung by the other vocalists here. I hope that you’re ok with that. I’m not saying that he’s a bad singer. Everyone on this show is a very good singer, and Jay is also a very good singer! I’m just looking for a voice that can compete with D.O.’s voice, and my standards are up in the sky. (Hanuel wilo fly fly!)

Jung Soomin

Jung Soo-min loves slightly goofy, informal outfits that scream “Hi, I’m American!” Which he is -- born in Chicago. That's about all I know about his background.

Check out his performance, V30, a really sweet cover of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” in which he accompanies himself on the guitar. I think it speaks for itself, but I’ll say a few words anyway. I really like his voice -- sweet, light, a little textured. Great agility, and good performance of the emotion/feeling of the words. Just delightful. I’ll forgive your hat.

Here he is on tiktok talking bout his experience on the show (in English). He says that his attitude toward competition is to just do the best he can, that the competition is really with himself. He seems like a nice guy.

Kim Seongjeong

Seongjeong is a musical actor, and his performance in V16 shows that. It’s not a style of singing that I tend to respond to, but I respect its natural quality and hard-earned technique. Vocally, he wouldn’t at all be out of place on Broadway. Considering his rich timbre and excellent breath support, I’d be interested to hear him sing something more in the pop or r&b style to see what it would sound like. My sleuthing tells me that he’s 25 (born in 1999) and acted in Hadestown and West Side Story. And look at that smile! Totally transforms his face.

Park Joohee

Joohee is another one of the contestants I just can’t find much info on. His teaser song was V15, Stand by Me by SHINee, and it was perfectly nice. Not mind blowing, but easy to listen to. He has good agility and a nice vocal color, but seems to lack breath support -- either that, or he was just really nervous, which seems likely. Also, the camera hardly ever shows him, so it was really hard to get a screencap of him.

Ok, that's team Soul! Feel free to go on to the next post, Team Power.

And thanks for your amazing response to my first post -- I was really worried you all would murder me for saying slightly negative things and thus far that hasn't happened, so thanks! You're all peaches. Have a beautiful day.
