Ok really seriously were comebacks from Shinee, EXO, Teen Top, Infinite (like srsly I still cannot believe), VIXX (also cannot believe), TVXQ, U-Kiss, FT Island, and BtoB on anyone’s 2023 bingo card because holy shit what a year for the 2nd gen boys
no because has anyone ever READ the descriptions on the covers of the shinee plagarism albums because they are beautiful prose
"there were dreams and goals that i had in my mind from the day i dreamt of becoming an artist. although i had to go through many obstacles, i learned that i should always believe in myself. strong faith has been the motivation of energy that keeps me going. as the effort for the dreams has made me become who i am today, i will continue to strive for higher goals with faith." - taemin, from his first mini album ace
"just like my body's stretch marks were a part of my growing pains, we will move on endlessly while enduring the pain, under the belief of my growth and the world's growth. because the pain creates the room for take-off, i thank you for the 'stretch' that pushed me forward. as always, i need you." - jonghyun, from his first mini album base
"this is not defeating an impossible nor pushing limits. this album assures my capability within us and this will continue. all my actions are the truth of me and all for you." - key, from his first album face
"singing brings me great happiness. i tried to sing hoping that the song could bring healing to people who listen to it. in my own voice. with my song. for the sake of everyone's happiness." - onew, from his first mini album voice
"finally, the puzzle is complete with this last piece. the story i will conclude with my narrative began with our faith. this faith, which cannot be explained in a single sentence, expands our universe and allows us to change the world. so i will not slow down in moving forward as i return and live with such faith. i shall look back at myself once more, continue to work hard, and always hold on to our convictions with modesty and gratitude. i will show that we are not wrong." - minho, from his first mini album chase
