#vlive was nice because all the artists participated in it

There is a rule in sales that roughly 5% know they want your product, 15% know they don't want your product, and 80% have no formed opinion/thinking about it. Promotion, repeated advertisement, customer services mainly work with the 80%. A person might pass a nice looking cafe many times, but finally visit it with a date.
People don't change their opinions on the spot. Especially if these opinions are challenged, especially when they are emotionally winded up. However, a seed of doubt can be planted, a new perspective remembered and tested later. Little strokes fell great oaks. It might take months, it might take years. A person will change, but the original instigator of this change won't know about the influence.
Some of the readers who came to this blog weren't interested in Jaehyun or even disliked him a little. Through association with Doyoung, my posts highlighting Jaehyun's qualities that he doesn't show during 127 group vlives, some of those readers warmed up to Jaehyun.
There are more lurkers than active participants online. They might not voice their own opinions, but their interest and participation in the fandom, with the idol group can be influenced by what they see, who they read. This is why it is more productive to write positive posts, insist on the right honest view on events, provide an alternative to "mainstream narrative", than arguing with antis or multiplying negativity with "how dare they say this and this about my bias".
Have you noticed how it happens? A stan twits without any links "another day, another attack on my bias". Moots, not knowing what's going on, start to ask the OP in the comments what has happened. The OP either answers vaguely or says he/she will DM. Oftentimes something that, say, an Indonesian anti wrote will be translated into English. The hateful message is spread thanks to the fans themselves. They themselves make everyone aware that their bias is under attack. One anti fan stirs hundred fans into a frenzy.
It's kind of like the problem with global news. When in the past people knew only about disasters in their area, that directly affected them, but nowadays media bring them anxiaty and fear for their safety talking about broken dams and fallen aircrafts all over the world. And as the world is big and someone dies somewhere all the time, a person can't have a peaceful day to celebrate.
Same happens inside the fandoms. Your own part of the fandom in your country can be completely at peace, busy with organising cafe events, but the celebration doesn't last because someone across the globe twitted something nasty about the bias.
People have eyes, if they regularly encounter evidence of the accused idol actually being a great person and an artist instead of fullfilling the painted by antis image, they won't believe slander. Antis will work as black PR, i.e. spread the name and attract attention. Their vile posts will be turned into lemonade.
Lastly, "fans represent their idol". Back to the lurkers. Positive, kind, funny fans, a welcoming atmosphere, interesting events to participate will look very inviting. "If the fans are so nice, their biases should be nice" connection will be formed.
When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughin', when you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through
But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that cryin', be happy again
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you

100% agree with you about being disappointed by the producers for the upcoming track. I am already anticipating this being another like 2 min long song with what I can only call rap "teasers" as they are only a couple seconds long. I understand wanting singles to follow "trends" in the music industry but idk if you watched Lee Hyun's reaction vid to Butter but Pdogg expressed the issue with these shorter, mainstream tracks so well and it was nice to hear he felt similarly, that there is not enough room to show what the members are capable of and their diff styles and personalities. Half of me is like, okay, fine, I understand why they're doing this but the other half is like...you're the biggest band in the world do you really have to worry about following trends? I guarantee if they released a self-produced single that was 4 or 5 min long it would blow up just as big as any of these other songs.
I'm just ranting but idk. I should be happy bc my friends who didn't listen to BTS loved Dynamite and Butter and they'll prob love this new song too if it's following that pattern, and they are songs I enjoy listening to like it's impossible not to get either stuck in your head and they do make me happy but it's not showing what they are truly capable of. It makes me frustrated bc while they ARE good songs they are not showcasing the members' full potential to new fans. My friends are now paying attention, are for the first time asking me about their music, asking me to send the singles and MVs when they drop, asking me who is who, etc. when they see them pop up on their twts, but they're not going back to listen to old songs or the rest of their discography on their own, they're listening to what gets dropped in their laps next and if I were BigHit I would want to use that captive audience and give them a song that truly shows off the members' talents and shows the diversity in their discography. And I recognize to a certain extent they ARE thinking that, but they're thinking "we got their attention, let's KEEP IT" by repeating the same steps. I mean I showed my friends some of their other music, including other singles, and they were SHOCKED to find out they weren't producing just catchy little pop songs and that BTS has dipped their toes in so many different genres.
I guess what I'm saying is, I know short pop songs are always going to have mass appeal, I know hundreds of pop songs that I will belt out in a car on a summer drive, that I know all the words to bc I've heard them a hundred times and they always make me feel good and they always get me dancing, but you know what? I cannot for the life of me tell you who wrote half those songs or what the titles of them are or what album they're from and if I do know those things, I couldn't tell you another song from those artists. I might love those songs but I never bothered to go look for more and I just don't want that temporary high to happen to the boys, I guess.
I made a lot of assumptions about this new song we haven't even heard yet, I could be way off base here. For all I know it will be a longer song with great raps and the memebers will have participated in the lyrics, I could be eating my words but idk all my frustration just came out haha.
beautifully said! i wish i had more time to sit down and type out a full, thought out response to this and i'm sorry i don't, but i just want to thank you for taking the time to share these thoughts with me. i haven't seen Lee Hyun's reaction yet, but i've been meaning to. it's interesting that P Dogg feels the same! there's lots of things i'd want to pick his brain about lol and i also want to preface this by saying i do love butter and dynamite and i know i'm going to love this song too; they're so happy and excited for it which makes me happy and excited for it too, i just am feeling a bit down about the producer list. i just want them all to know they can be just as successful if not more with doing more "in house." i was watching a reactor last night who commented how early bts felt so grassroots, and how that was a huge ingredient to their success. i know growth and change happens but i just want a summer single that'll top the charts to be more their own. i feel like bighit was trying so hard for that grammy and the grammys still screwed them over. i just want them to have that success and number one charting song for a song that isn't necessarily there to fit a mold. but!! seeing their vlive did make me really excited for the new song because they themselves are excited and at the end of the day, i just want their happiness. thank you again for sharing this and i'm sorry i'm not able to respond more at the moment

Tumblr media
As long as could GOT7 members remember, their  life was tightly interconnected with group (more of an army) of make up artists, choreographers, assistants, cameramen, stylists and other dozens of professionals they couldn’t even count. It was sort of their team. Their assemble. They were the closest to them and still normal people at the same time. GOT7 as all idols were time to time very tired from all the other idols around, all the mc’s, all the famous people who thought the same way. It was nice to have down-to-earth people around. People who go home and no one wants selfie with them. They gave GOT7 most impulses and they were most fun.
As time went by and GOT7 grew, they had a closed  group of people around them that they brought everywhere with them. On tours, concerts, sometimes even to events where local stylist and make up artists were cavailable. But they liked to say that their group knows each member  and knows what fits him the best.
And since part of this team of theirs were women,  GOT7 couldn’t help themselves and flirt with them from time to time. It was natural and both sides thought of it as fun.With only one exception.
Y/N.
After one concert in Macao boys gathered in one hotel room instead resting on their own. It was idea of the managers – they were suppposed to do vlive. Boys liked to interact with fans but vlive after concert was tiring. They goofed around and wraped it up soon
„The fifth generation. In May.!“
„Mark, finnish with your trademark.“
„Peace out bro!“
After the camera was off the boys continued with scruming around in one bed and then Jinyoung asked „Who’s up for a drink?“ of course they all were.
They asked the staff to bring them some wine and beer and they started a private get-together.
Some of them were talking together, some was telling everyone some story nobody listened to and some were on their phones.
After 20 minutes she walked in „Guys I’m sorry to disturb you  but your coach said you all wake up at 8 tomorrow so you’d better to wrap this up and go to sleep.“ Her mouth twisted in something like sympathetic smile and turned around to leave the room. After all she was just make up artist, she wasn’t supposed to be there.
„Hey Y/N!“ cried Bambam to stop her. She turned back and raised her eyebrows „Could you wake me up in the morning?“ he was scolded and laughed by other members but she looked at him with blank face and shrugged „Of course. What time?“
„Uuuuuuu….“ „Buurn..“ laughed boys as she left the room cold as always.
„Man I tell ya,“ started Bambam, but he had to drink more to finnish his sentence „If anyone is ever going to get off with this woman,…“ pointing at the door.
„Then you have to lend him your fireproof coat.“ finnished Mark with more laughter.
„Cold as ice really. I never saw her smile or anything, did you?“ asked Yugyeom and drank his last drops of wine.
Boys had to think about that. No, never. When thinking about it they couldn’t recall when or if they ever saw Y/N to smile or laugh. She was imune to their jokes or pick up line or flirting.
„Maybe she doesn’t have sense of humour.“ speculated Youngjae.
„Naah, I saw her once watching dr.Phil on her phone.“ objected JB.
Maknae line laughed „What kind of proof is that??“
„Nobody without sense of humour watches dr.Phil.“ explained Mark and got up to clean up the table „It’s more comedy show than serious programme. He likes to pretend that but nobody actually takes him seriously.“
„I’m just saying that to pull her would take a man.“ Said Bambam with giving up gesture.
That was like a red flag for all of them. Jackson, Bambam, JB even Yugyeom started bickering about who is the real man here and who would be up to do it.
Jackson yelled louder than everyone „Wait! What kind of price for the one who takes her on a date??“
„Price is your life because before you take her on date she’s gonna take your balls!“ taunted JB.
„LET’S HAVE A BET!“ screamed Jackson again.
Jinyoung and Mark were the only one silent. Jinyoung still sat on his chair with crosses legs, wine glass rested on knee and smirk on his face as he watched his favourite show. Bickering with GOT7. Mark just shook his head and continued with cleaning up.Youngjae was laughing and sometimes commenting too.
„Wait, seriously?“ stopped Yugyeom.
„Yeah,“ shrugged Jackson and shook his hands and legs like he was preparing to fight or run a marathone.
„Okay,“ JB was up to the challange „Who takes Y/N on date is the man of this group.“
Few moments of silence. This was serious. It was question of honour. Jinyoung coughed and finally said something „I’m giving up to that title. I am more man than you all ever gonna be and I don’t need Y/N to prove it. You can fight over her without me”
„Yeah I’m not into this either.“ sounded Mark from the bathroom.
„Then it’s useless. How someone could be the man of the group if all of us aren’t participating?“ threw Bambam hands in the air.
Jackson frowned and then snapped his fingers with excitement „Let’s change the task. Whoever makes her smile will have the biggest rooms on the rest of the tour and the others will bring him breakfast to bed.“
After some more bargaining they agreed that this is maybe even harder task and the price is adequate.
It was obvious that Jackson is so ready for this and so when they were all leaving to their own rooms Bambam stopped Jackson pulling him by his elbow „Man you’re really into this right?“
Jackson grinned „Get ready to bring me breakfast for next 7 weeks. I like my chicken breast shake, you should work on that.“
„Why? You fancy her?“ attacked Bambam again with perv smile.
Jackson sighed rolling eyes „You know I’m up for any challange.“
„Yeah yeah yeah, of course…“ laughed Bambam and fake nodded „Well good luck with the evil queen then.“
Jackson gave up „Look, the evil queens are always the princesses that were never saved.” wink „She just needs her knight.“
After that started a proper combat that took place anywhere, anytime. In the waiting room. In the common dining hall. Next to the stage. During the rehersal. After concert. Between songs in the backstage. In the make up room.
Y/N was attacked, bombed, inclusived by compliments, jokes, attention, random pick up lines, unwanted stories, inappropriate notes, gifts and random kisses on the cheek „for luck“.
Jackson, Bambam, JB, Yugyeom (when picking up the courage) and sometimes Youngjae (for the fun) surrounded Y/N like bees nice flower and competed in who’s going to make her smile or laugh.
It was hard, maybe the hardest task they ever tried to acomplish. Not that Y/N was cold bitch or didn’t have sense of humour. She was just used to their foolines and it was part of her job. Don’t ever get yourself entangled with and idol. She knew very well that only one smile and her armour would break like glass.  She had to stay strong to resist.
Jackson got quite stimulated by her cold even indifferent attitude. Normally he would loose his interest, it was his nature – if somebody wasn’t up to play his game he just went to find someone who would. But teased by other members and the thought of competition made his competitive spirit work harder. He could fall over himself.
After two and half months later now in Singapore Jackson almost lost his patience. Y/N was doing his make up and he gazed into her eyes deeply. He had to- she became secret he just had to unlock.
„Y/N stop it.“ he begged.
Her brush pulled away as she stopped with his eye shadows.
„Stop playing hard to get.“ he finnished and pouted.
She sighed and rolled her eyes „So that’s what it’s all about. I‘m not playing hard to get for your info.“ She added.
„What then?“ he knew Mark is sitting next to them having his make up on too, but just now it was just Jackson and Y/N. Her eyes were quizical „Nothing. I’m not playing anything.“
„Well I noticed you’re imune to all my jokes and pranks I need to know why.“
Her lips twitched a bit but she didn’t smile.
„Have you ever thought about the option you’re not as far funny as you think you are?“ she asked and her soft touch on his cheek as she continued with shadows became itchy for Jackson. Suddenly she was more than a price to win, he had to conquer this badass lady.
He couldn’t even answer as she took his breath away. And at that moment he got an idea.
„Thanks.“ He jumped up and put quick kiss on her cheek just from force of habit he grew these past months. She didn’t even blink.
Jackson couldn’t think of anything else than his plan and her eyes the whole concert. He didn’t even know but he was loosing his distance.
„We’re very happy to be here again guys,“ started JB their goodbye speech. Jackson was holding his mic and smirking now and then to the backstage. When it was his turn he didn’t even cry as he sometimes did. He thanked all the funs and expressed how gratefull he was to be in Singapore.
„Now please, let me give some credit to people who you don’t know about but have a huge part on how we look everyday for you.“ He waved to the backstage and on the big screens projected a shot of camera man going through corridors to the make up room.
„I want to thank all our make up artists for making us look SO.AMAZING. THIS NIGHT!“ he raised his voice as the cameraman slowed down to shot Y/N and few others.
„Guys I know you can hear us, please wave and smile for our fans who thank you as well as us for your GREAT WORK!“followed by applause.
And as he planned, Y/N smiled and waved with her coworkers. It was bright, wide, heart warming and honest smile, thought her eyes were a popped with shock. Jackson melted as he saw her smile the first time. When he was supposed to talk again he stuttered a bit before he turned to Mark to continue.
His plank worked. He won. But he got to another conclusion – he has to see her smile more often. Because even the boys now brought him breakfast to the bed, even though he had the biggest rooms, he still couldn’t think of anything else than how she looked with that hearty smile.
When the tour was over he managed to get her phone number from her coworkers and wrote her a message.
Hi Y/N. It’s Jackson Wang here. I wanted to ask you if you’d fancy to have a dinner with me. And also if you’ll accopmpany us on our next tour. 🙏 thank you for your hard work 🙏
He never hoped for someone saying yes so much.

100 things i love about johnny
“his english name means “god is gracious” and it’s derived from hebrew words יוֹ (yo) which is the hebrew god and חָנַן (chanan) which means “to be gracious” and i mean,, true
his korean name is written as 英浩 in hanja characters and they can mean  “flower, petal, brave, hero” and  “great, numerous, vast” - also true
his lisp
his bad puns and pickup lines
how he donated his voice by recording audio guides to aid artists with development disabilities
how much he loves haechan and taeil :((
how much he loves nct in general
his love for yoona
how he never fails to include both female and male fans when he’s talking so nobody gets excluded
his silky hair
the way he furrows his eyebrows and one side of his upper lip goes up when he says something sassy or tries sounding smart
the little, cute wrinkles that appear on the sides of his mouth when he’s smiling
how hard he works on his chinese and tries to communicate with chinese members in their native language grfsregkajeg
the way he discreetly comforted yeri on enana when she was sick
how he noticed that on the vlive commentary function it said “say something nice” and found it really nice
how he’s really humble about the things he does and his qualities, oh my god !!
he thought his selfies weren’t good and asked for advice and didn’t believe jaehyun and doyoung when they told him his selfies are really good indeed, he was so surprised when they told him!!
his wannabe raps LMAO that rap he wrote in high school still haunts me
he stayed in sm for so long, ever since 2008, but he didn’t give up and made it to debut with nct! he had to watch his friends from exo debut before him while he was left behind but that didn’t discourage him one bit ;((
how he always finds a way to play on enana during the commercial break, and it’s usually playing with the cameras, which is really cute
his smile when he’s talking with the fans
how he always does that dance where he swings his arms left to right constantly while doing the same with hips, in sync with the arm swing and embarrasses others but does it anyway
he always thinks of nct’s international fans!! he always adds a sentence of two in english so everybody understands what’s going on
he has a lot of trouble learning japanese but he still tries so hard ;((
his “boku wa johnny desu”
he’s really shy when someone compliments him, but never fails to compliment others
he has such a nice relationship with enana staff members and always helps them and encourages them
“to everyone out there, i just want to say that whoever’s listening to this is absolutely beautiful, and there’s nothing you need to change about your appearance, you’re already as perfect and unique as you are.  don’t let anyone tell you differently. if you ever feel like you’re not worth anything, seek help or change your environment, don’t let the bullies get to you. life is long, life is beautiful. don’t stop right here because of these mean people. live for yourself, live happily, and show them you’re stronger than them.”
saying “bless you” when people sneeze a lot of people overlook, but he finds it meaningful
he always encourages either the nct members or complete strangers when they’re speaking english even though they make mistakes and makes them feel confident about their language skills
that one time he started randomly meowing on enana and made jaehyun laugh
ok but on a serious note tho. johnny likes to,,,meow around. idk if it grew into a (weird) habit of his but he just,,,meows. he meows around jaehyun, he meows around mark, he probably meows around everyone in nct. can i pls get this limited-edition cat too
his super broccoli and super corn t-shirts
his singing voice ;–;
how he never hesitates to do aegyo but regrets it straight afterward so he lowers his head and covers his face with his hands
he said he loves running through the rain when it’s raining and it’s so unusual but cute!
lmao he’s such a hopeless romantic tho, i bet he got that running-in-the-rain idea from a romance film or smth
“to do and regret, rather than not to do and regret”
his hobby is photography and he takes really nice photos which he posts on nct’s instagram!!
his signature is really pretty!! it’s one of the most beautiful signatures i’ve seen an idol have tbh
he plays the piano really well and he used to play it together with jaehyun in their room when they were roommates
during the time he shared the room with jaehyun, jaehyun used to always light up scented candles and it sometimes bothered johnny but he never said anything about it so jaehyun wouldn’t feel bad
also,, he sleeps naked?? but like,, he’s so open with it. he’s like oh? clothes? i don’t wear clothes when i sleep lol and taeil is ????? so  c o n f u s e d  but johnny is just there, with a big grin on his face lmao
he’s a bit clumsy but it makes him adorable ;-;
his laugh!! it goes from a simple giggle to a high pitched laughter and it’s so recognisable and funny to hear, but it never makes you tired of hearing it
the dimples that appear on his face when he’s smiling, #help
he always gives other members the chance to speak in english if they want to or if they’re confident but never forces them if they don’t want to
how he’s so passionate about photography and he uses his camera more to capture the nature and his members than to take pictures of himself
also. that one photo of a smiley face written on a foggy car window (probably?) that he took is so, so, so important.
seriously, i love the style of photography he is going for!!
how he always participates when nct does volunteer work, like how he went to that school and made meals for children or how he went to a p.e. class and taught the kids how to dance
the way he laughs!! he always laughs in little fits, like, it goes hahaha hahahaha hahaha and it’s a d o r a b l e
how he’s secretly a meme king and loves sharing memes with nct members on their gc but they never reply to him and it’s so sad but so cute fsdjkghs
the way he looks at cameras like they’re the most precious things in the world
he never fails to hype a nct member up!!
how much he loves his family. he doesn’t talk about them a lot but when he does you can see it in his eyes how much he misses his parents. also when he cried when they sent him a video message for his birthday during his smrookies days!!
also when he was so surprised and teared up when his mum sent an audio message to enana back in 2018
“love starts with a smile” - johnny, 170327
he always sees beauty in some things that would usually get overlooked or wouldn’t be seen as beautiful and pretty and he never fails to express how he finds them nice!!
his relationship with mark. it’s not only that they’re english speakers so they’re close, you can see just how much johnny cares for mark. mark is like johnny’s little brother
he has a tendency to say things in a tone someone could find sarcastic but he really means it. he uses these phrases that have grown to be seen as sarcastic only to convey his true feelings and i find it so unique and beautiful (like when he said “it’s beautiful, mark” in the first relay vlive when mark, jaemin, winwin and kun were making standees for the sprouts - one would think he’s saying it just so that he wouldn’t hurt mark’s feelings but if you listen closely enough, you can hear the sincerity in his voice)
how he uses “your one and only” when writing to the fans
also the message on a photocard for the regular-irregular album where he wrote “from your one and only to my one and only” i literally blushed okay.
seriously though, the messages he writes on photocards are so thoughtful and cute, for example on the regulate pc he wrote: “simon says... smile!” and like,, i might have cried.
his face with no makeup on!!!
his thighs that are both muscular and soft, you can’t really tell if he’s really fit or a bit chubby and it makes my heart go whoosh whoosh bc!! my bias!!! is chubby!!!!! and i love it!! !!!!
seriously though, the songs he recommends and/or plays on enana
he says he’s a really clumsy person or it’s just his height so he always bumps into things and i find it adorable even though it must hurt him but how can you not love these small things about this giant man shjsjs
how he sleeps with so many plushies and gives them names and always changes the one he’s hugging at night om g
“pandas. OmG PANDAS” - johnny in ikea
have i already said this but he’s so empathic and compassionate and conscientious and always tries to make people around him feel comfortable with his jokes and warm smiles
he’s also so patient and laid-back and doesn’t get angry so easily, like, someone would probably get angry with yuta were it his phone number that was exposed (even by accident) but johnny was just liek,,,yah it’s okay and forgave yuta and sgjdjsh he’s just so nice :(
how he thinks make-up shouldn’t be limited to girls only and doesn’t believe in gender roles!!
in addition to that, he even appeared in an episode of netflix’s bill nye saves the world that touches on the topic of sexuality & identity and it’s such a big thing for an idol, especially a rookie idol to talk about how kpop is changing the traditional ideas of what gender norms are in such a conservative country??
“just be yourself. i feel like that’s a big point” - johnny in bill nye saves the world
*serious, with a smile on his face* “do you have a boyfriend?” *serious* *can’t contain the cringe and laughter* *turns away in an adorable way*
johnny’s fashion evaluation much?? it’s just him giving weird names to nct’s outfits and pretending to be an expert by giving them star ratings but it’s all just random and it’s so funny shjsh
while we’re at being funny! god of humour!! right there!!!! johnny suh invented humour ok i don’t make the rules
like,, his humour is not the normal kind, i saw many people actually say he’s not funny but LMAO joke’s on you, his humour is the galaxy brain type of humour, it’s like,, a bit dry but it’s so funny if you’re on the same page as him
when he went to ikea with jaehyun to buy a lamp but they only ended up looking at plushies and johnny immediately made friends with two snake plushies, fred and jason. “fred, what are you doing here??” “jason, jason! no, he’s my friend, jason. jason, he’s my friend.” - johnny in ikea, after saving jaehyun from jason’s bite. like that’s so random but it’s working because i’ve melted
him wearing hoodies and putting them over his head while taking photos of his members is so precious and soft!!
the way his pinky kind of drifts away from the rest of his fingers when he’s waving or covering his mouth or doing anything with his hand really
his plump lips and the way they curl upwards a bit and it makes them look so  c u t e  but they’re also a bit sexy???
he has these scars on his face (a lot of them on his chin) that are almost invisible because of the makeup but i think they’re from pimples, perhaps? but they’re so beautiful and precious and i love them when he smiles and they get a different shape and it’s art?? on someone’s face?????
he speaks so confidently in korean even though it’s not his native language! one would think it is by the way he never stutters or has a loss for words but it’s just because of his never-ending friendliness and confidence that’s a part of his personality
remember the rolling paper event during the 127 1st anniversary party? all of johnny’s messages were the longest ones and were so heartfelt and sincere. he really poured his entire heart while writing those and that only shows just how much he loves his members
his role inside the group may seem unimportant but he’s one of the few people holding the group together. there is taeyong as the leader, but johnny is like a leader from the shadows who puts everyone before himself first - and it is not easy to do
he cares for the foreign members so, so much. out of all the nct members, he’s been in sm the longest and as a foreigner he understands and knows what it’s like to suddenly be in a completely new country surrounded by nothing but strangers. he kept on conversing with ten, both in english and in korean, so ten would feel more comfortable and he’s the main reason ten’s korean has gotten so much better. also, he takes so much patience with the chinese members who have language barriers with both him and the rest of nct and never fails to correct them when they say something wrong or when they can’t think of a word/phrase to say. when they were touring seoul, he was always next to lucas and closely listening to how lucas speaks so that he can help him learn better!!
johnny knows how to flirt and seduce but what he doesn’t know is how to act afterwards so the embarrassment that comes after he says something cringy is just the most adorable think ever (take “do you have a boyfriend?” ig video for an example). he’s just so awkward and he can’t compliment someone without blushing ;(
also oh boy, johnny is just so bad at lying like fksjshksh he can’t keep a secret to save a life. were we, nctzens, not so dumb, we’d get so many spoilers he accidentally gave lmao
while we’re at this, he also can’t have a nice phone because he literally doesn’t care about it, hE THREW IT IN THE FLOOR in that one video, isn���t that enough as it IS
also,,,,,,he put a metal fidget spinner on its screen and somehow expected it not to break?????? just how lovable this idiot is.
he’s so,,,,awkward and cute around girls,,,like,,,,,,,help me. him confessing to yoona (kind of?) is the cutest thing ever and it just fills my heart with love and i!! wanna protect!!!!!
the thing i always look at when i watch enana are his ears because he always fiddles with them and touches the earring(s) and it’s cuuuute
but lmAO somehow the earring(s) always fall out when he does touch them and it’s somehow so,,endearing because he’s so cute jfc
he once said he tries using “thank you” and "i love you” a lot because those words are so powerful and he seems to always want to bring smile to other people’s faces..
also!! his parents call him prince as a nickname and,,well. i might be crying because that’s  s o f t

[TRANS] KStyle interview with NCT 127 Vol.1 & 2!
Tumblr media
Q. You have completed your first Japanese tour「NCT 127 1st Tour ‘NEO CITY : JAPAN - The Origin'」 yesterday, how are you feeling now? Yuta: I’m still in the state of lingering in the memories. First off because we got to hold this tour, I’d like to express words of gratitude towards our fans, staff and our members who worked hard together. This completely new experience became an opportunity for my confidence to grow. My mindset to show even cooler performances to our supportive fans has only become stronger.
Q. You also shed tears during the last greeting. Doyoung: The fact that our 2-month tour has come to an end was special, and the surprise event our fans prepared during the encore was touching so I let the tears flow. From the very first destination that was Osaka, to the last show in Saitama we went through a lot with our staff and members together, and thanks to our fans support we managed to complete the tour smoothly so I was really touched.
Q. With the tour being so long it seems like managing health condition must be hard. Yuta: Since we’ve spent so much time together if there's a member who’s unwell we know about it. When that happens each one of us cares and covers for the other. I myself managed to hold on till the and because of the help I’ve received from everyone. Before each stage, we all gather together and cheer for each other. Johnny: It’s also memorable when we’re in the middle of the concert on standby backstage, and we tell each other ‘Fighting!’, ‘Let’s do our best!’, ‘We can do it!’
Q. How was the tour for the newest member Jungwoo? Jungwoo: With each concert whenever I stood on the stage with the members I was happy, but on the other hand I also worried a lot. I haven’t got as much performing experience compared to the other members so I’m clumsier, and because of that, I thought I had to work extra hard. But I was still able to get a lot of experience on this tour. My performance, as well as overall acting on stage, have become more free than before so it seems like I’ve progressed. Taeyong: Jungwoo added a new charming point to our team. Through this tour he’s become a necessary part of us. Right now all of our members have fallen for Jungwoos charm kekeke Also Jungwoo is becoming more and more used to things so he’s able to show off his confidence, he’s grown so much through this tour.
Q. Haechan has joined the tour at the Saitama Super Arena as he’s only recovered from his injury, how does it feel to be back? Haechan: I was happy to be able to participate at last and my gratitude towards fans who waited and the members who filled in for me has become bigger.
Q. Please let us know of any episodes that happened when sharing room with other members on tour. Yuta: This time I was roommates with Taeil-hyung. We had 3 concert days at Saitama. Taeil-hyung surprised me with working out everyday early in the morning. After wrapping up day 1, he woke up super early on the next day and worked out. That was really something (laughs) Taeil: My mood gets better when I exercise. Yuta: Taeil-hyung has a six pack.
Q. That’s awesome! Jaehyun: It’s April Fool’s today! (laughs) Everyone: (laughs)
Q. It was a lie? Yuta: The six-pack was a lie, but the working out in the morning was real. Jaehyun: I was just rooming with Mark, and we just spent the time listening to music. And I always knew Mark is a good sleeper, but when he fell asleep in 1 minute I was really surprised. Yuta: Kinda like a manga protagonist (laughs) Taeyong: I was rooming with Doyoung or Mark a lot, and whenever we went to the convenience store I’d think ‘Let’s not buy much?’ but even then we always came back with a lot of things (laughs) We’d come back with 3 big bags of shopping, eat together while talking about one thing or another or stream on VLIVE while eating. Johnny: I’ve just been sharing a room with Jungwoo. The time has passed like water (laughs) Rather than doing anything it was a very peaceful time. Whether Jungwoo is just good at being quiet or if he didn’t exist……. (laughs) Jungwoo: (gets sulky) I’m disappointed….. Yuta: Don’t cry~ (laughs) Jungwoo: It’s a joke. We were listening to music and falling asleep while talking like other rooms…… That’s how we’ve been. Johnny: Ah! Today we promised to watch a scary movie together. Jungwoo: If other members want to watch too come to our room!
Q. Have you decided on the movie yet? Johnny: We haven’t decided yet, we’ll just look for something fun on Netflix. Jungwoo said he can’t watch alone. Jungwoo: I have to sleep with lights on. Johnny: So cute~ (laughs)
Q. Do the members usually watch horror movies together? Yuta: Recently we’ve watched two in a row. What was the title? Jungwoo: It was a movie called <Happy Deathday>. 2nd series has just come out! It’s a very fresh time loop movie. Johnny: I feel like he’s in charge of promoting the movie (laughs)
Q. Who are the members that don’t watch horror movies? Yuta: Mark and Doyoung! Mark: I don’t watch them. I’m scared~
Q. Who was Haechan rooming with? Haechan: Manager-hyung. Not a single episode here hehe Taeyong: Shall we ask manager-hyung then? (laughs) Haechan: This…. I’m sorry.
Q. You must’ve learned some new Japanese phrases at the tour? Taeyong: I’ve memorised ‘Cheers again’ from an anime. I use it at after parties. I like after parties! hehehe Jaehyun: ‘Once-in-a-lifetime bond’ Taeil: ‘Solo tour’ Johnny: ‘So there’s no regrets’, it’s something I wanted to use on the last day as the ending comment so I’ve memorised it. When I yell ‘So there’s no regrets scream!’ the fans shout with me and it makes me really happy. Mark: ‘Get home safely’
Q. Doyoung’s last greeting was entirely in Japanese. Doyoung: I wanted to speak Japanese so I was learning. I tried my best to memorise.
Q. Did you learn any gags from Yuta this time too? Yuta: I taught Jungwoo a lot. Jungwoo: It’s ‘Shall we eat something really delicious?’, ‘It’s nothing’. And ‘Bankai’ (a killer move in ‘Bleach’ manga) too!
Q. Since you’re from Osaka, do you teach them any regional dialect? Yuta: Not necessarily, but because Osaka was our first destination I’ve told them a lot. Usually, I just tell them when they ask specifically.
Q. You must’ve made a lot of memories at the Japanese tour if you were to choose only one to remain in a picture which moment would it be? Jaehyun: It actually is captured in a picture. It’s the surprise event during which fans were singing <TOUCH>. It’s a picture I want to look at over and over again. I think all members would agree? Everyone: Yes!
Q. <Wakey-Wakey>, the title track of your 1st Full Japan Album 「Awaken」 which was released on April 17th is a very powerful performance song and is packed with a lot of different parts. Which part of the choreography do you like? Taeyong: As expected it's the chorus. The choreography is eye-catching and it's a part that feels more powerful in this (already) powerful song. Yuta: Mark's rap part has an impact too, so it became a powerful chorus. Doyoung: I think the part where Johnny-hyung stands up in the first intro part is really cool. It creates the atmosphere of the song.
Q. The 'invader dance', where you move your fingers while stretching your arms sideways, is also a highlight. Speaking of invaders, there is this game called Space Invaders, which was very popular in the past, but you might not know it? Doyoung: I played a similar game though. (It was called) something like 'Galaga' Jaehyun: There was this airplane shooting game called 'RaidenX' at the arcade when I was younger. Taeyong: Although I never actually played invader, I tried my hardest to express it through my imagination.
Q. After you guys finished your concert in Fukuoka, you watched the music video of < Wakey-Wakey> together. Whose scene did you think were cool? Doyoung: Johnny-hyung's hairstyle had an impact as expected! Long hair!
Q. How did you feel with long hair? Johnny: Even though I was just dancing, it felt different from usual. I felt like my hair was dancing with me. It was like 'my whole body is one'? (laughs) Jungwoo: (bursts out laughing) Taeyong: I think everyone came out looking really cool (in the mv). The atmosphere was a little different from all the music videos we've done so far. We shot the scenes according to the individuality of the members and every scene showed the members well so I felt like the artistic feel of the music video was displayed. Taeil: I think the dance parts where we are wearing black is really cool. The set was nice, and the outfits really matched well with every member.
Q. What’s your favorite song on the album? Taeyong: I like <Kitchen Beat>. I like it as much as <Wakey-Wakey> because of the sophisticated beat and imaginative theme that feels like hip-hop. Mark: <Long Slow Distance> has a special feel to it because it's a ballad song in Japanese which the Japanese fans hear from us for the first time, and I think the members' voices go well with the song. Haechan: I like <Long Slow Distance> too. It's a ballad genre we never tried before so I hope the fans like it too. Taeil: I like R&B songs, so <Lips>. Doyoung: (I like) <Wakey-Wakey>. No wonder it's the title song too! Yuta: I like them all but I personally feel like <Kitchen Beat>  is really cool! I felt the song, Jaehyun: I also like every single song, but I had a lot of fun recording <Lips> and I think the song has a great feeling to it. Jungwoo: I also like <Kitchen Beat>. Because Taeil-hyung told me I did a 'good job'! (laughs) Everyone: Oh~ (clapping) Johnny: I like  <Blow My Mind> the most. I was so hooked on Doyoung's part that I could not get it out of my head for a few days. It's fun to sing and it's a song that is easy to sing, so I think the fans will like it too. Taeyong: <End to Start> too, I love it because it's a song with an intense theme from start to finish. 
Q. The album title 'Awaken' has a theme of "reflecting on yourself, discovering yourself and awakening". Who is the member who seems to be awakened recently? Taeyong: I really like sweets, so I ate a lot during the tour. Recently, Jungwoo has started to like Japanese food too and is eating it well. I was awakened to Japanese food. Jungwoo: The sushi we had on the tour was the best. Fatty tuna! Johnny: I think Yuta's Japanese has awakened (laughs). Of course, it's natural for him since he's Japanese, but it's just like how my English was awakened when we were in the states. I think I was also awakened to seeing Yuta doing well on the tour and speaking Japanese. Yuta: It may be so!
Q. You guys seem to like Japanese food. Please let me know what you like most in Japan! Haechan: I really like sushi, ramen, eel on rice and Motsunabe
Q. What sushi do you like most? Haechan: Either sea urchin or salmon roe, I like fish eggs. I didn't really like eel before but I really liked it on a ricebowl in Nagayo. Taeyong: I was awakened! To eel!
Q. How about the other members? Doyoung: I like the kindness of Japan. (in Japanese) Kind! I can feel the kind and friendly culture in everything, and I'd like to learn. For example. When we go to the venue for rehearsals, all the staff will say, "Welcome~", "Let's do our best-". I felt a very warm atmosphere. Mark: I like the delicate morality of Japan. I feel like there's also meaning in the small things, and like Doyoung-hyung said, the feeling that everyone is cherished can be felt from the kindness. I really like that Johnny: When I was in the car this morning and looked outside I thought 'beautiful' as I saw the scenery. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom right now! I can feel the history of the streets and it is so beautiful. Yuta: I feel like I'm also praised when I hear these things and it makes me happy.
Q. The subject is changed but you appeared on Japan's original Korean music program 'Power of K TOKYO LIVE' on March 4th. Please let us know your impressions. Taeyong: I heard that a new K-POP themed program was made in Japan and it was a very new experience. Although we also performed, it was fun that the members were also able to show their charms through the games we played. Yuta: The venue (of the show) was where we did our showcase tour (Toyosu PIT), so as I entered the dressing room I thought 'it’s been a while'. The members talked with each other and talked about ‘the showcase we did here'. Doyoung: That's right! Jaehyun: After losing in the drawing game, Johnny-hyung and I had to show various facial expressions in the punishment game, but it was fun (laughs). Johnny: It was a punishment game that requires fast reaction skills, but I think it worked out well. Some facial expressions came out I didn't even know I could to, please check on air to confirm(laughs)!
Q.  <NCT LIFE> will also broadcast on 'Kchan! HallyuTV'. It was shot in different places every season, please tell us about your memories or back stories. Doyoung: It was a fun and good experience to go to various countries. Even though we were shooting for the show, it felt like I was traveling with the members. I want to continue doing <NCT Life> if the chance is there in the future. Yuta: Where do you want to go next? Taeyong: Hawaii! Doyoung: I want to go to Hawaii too! America would be nice too.
Q. What were other sides of the members which got discovered while shooting <NCT LIFE>? Doyoung: We did a Yuta-tour in Osaka (NCT Life season 7: Osaka). Yuta-hyung planned everything we did during the trip, he really prepared it in earnestly. It was like he created a portfolio Yuta: yeah, that's right (laughs) Doyoung: He had never shown this deliberate image during our practices (laughs) I was really surprised. Taeil: When we just debuted we did sports in Paju to build on our unity (<NCT Life> season 3: Paju), I remember playing games and eating BBQ together. Mark also made fried eggs (Mark didn't know how to fry a sunny-side-up egg and the mess he created was highlighted) Mark: Yes! Sorry (laughs) Taeil: It was fun because it rather seemed like we were playing around instead of shooting a show. Johnny: In Chiangmai, Thailand (<NCT LIFE> season 6: Chiang Mai) the members celebrated my birthday with a surprise, but I was really surprised. However, I remember Taeyong more, who was beside was, also getting fooled/surprised (laughs). I was getting nervous because Doyoung's condition wasn't good but I relaxed when learned it was a prank and I was able to have fun and celebrate. 
Q. In Chiang Mai, Doyoung was impressive for answering all the questions during the game to guess the name of the animals in Safari Park so well. Taeyong: Doyoung's intelligence was proven. Johnny: On the contrary, I was angry at myself for not remembering any of them. After that (game), I started to respond with 'name' without knowing (laughs).
Q. Jungwoo hasn't been able to participate in a shooting yet, but if you were to go, where would you wanna go to? Jungwoo: I really want to go to Hawaii too. I heard it's a good place and there are a lot of things to see so I became curious after hearing so much about it.
Q. Amongst the members, who is has the best sense for variety shows? Johnny: excluding me, it's Yuta (laughs) Taeyong: Though Yuta has variety sense,  I think Jungwoo's variety sense isn't a joke either. So we have to do <NCT Life> again. Mark: I also think Jungwoo will be a hit. Jungwoo: I think it might be difficult with cameras in front of me...... I'll do my best, though.
Q. Finally, is there a message you want to give to our readers. Taeyong: On April 17th, our new album 「Awaken」 was released and we hope it receives much attention. Through this tour of Japan, I felt that everyone in Japan was looking forward to us, and my heart was full. We will continue to grow and strive to show only good images. Thank you very much for interviewing us like this today. We will be glad to take this opportunity again in the future.

rain is a really good song and it’s so underrated :(
agree! a lot of bts’ older songs with that vibe are underrated. that’s why i love ly her’s outro so much. that vibe gives me a lot of old school bts nostalgia
Anonymous said: Kale and mushroom and onions pizza? Some ppl don’t like just veggies on pizza but I think it’s delicious…😅
disagree ;;;; i’m a plain cheese pizza type of person lol
Anonymous said: 🗣📣BEING A FAN DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO OBSESS OVER, ALWAYS AND ONLY VOTE FOR, AND HAVE TO LIKE EVERY SINGLE THING RELATED TO A GROUP/PERSON. IF YOU LIKE THEM, THAT MEANS YOURE A FAN. NO MORE OR LESS THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE FANDOM. Thank you for comeing to my Ted talk
AGREEEEE. honestly the only time i ever really go on twitter is during comebacks just bc i like to keep up with stuff, but that’s also the worst time for manager fans. like i have 17 aneurysms scrolling through those tweets with warped ass views on what a fan is
Anonymous said: People need to stop being disrespectful to other idols. Like asking for another idol during something they’re obviously not around for. Like hobi’s vlives and stuff. If you’re going to stan a group, you need to be respectful and stan each member even if they aren’t your bias.
agreeee. that annoys tf out of me. if someone’s doing a vlive, stop asking for other members. let them talk about what they wanna talk about. also just in general stop asking about bts on other group’s vlives. it’s embarrassing, and definitely annoying for the group you’re spamming
Anonymous said: Hobi shouldn’t feel the need to be 110% excited all the time and be screaming... not everyone can be that high tension all the time and I feel really sorry for him bc i always think about when he said he feels he has to be like excited bc of his stage name..
agree! i wish he didn't feel the need to be upbeat all time just for the sake of others. you’re allowed to seem down or even just sit there neutrally. being the life of the party is definitely exhausting, and i hope he understands that it’s okay to just relax and take time to himself
Anonymous said: Idk if anybody here cares but you know when a band member (not Kpop necessarily) leaves the group and goes to make solo music? Like Camila Cabello left fifth harmony? I feel like the solo music is always better than the group music and idk if it’s because that person gets more creative opportunities or what.
i agree, though i think it depends on the type of music you’re into. often times when people go solo from groups, they all do wildly different genres. so it just depends on your taste i think ;;;; plus once you go solo you’ve been in the industry in a while and grown as a person, so that could also be a reason
Anonymous said: Unpopular opinion: Just because I like to read BTS smut every now and then, doesn’t mean I’m thirsty for them. I just like if the story has a good plot and great writing. Like yours!!!! 😊
i agree. usually i’m not reading a story for the smut specifically. i just want a story. though there are admittedly times when i am just in the mood for a raunchy smut lol
Anonymous said: a lot of people disagree but skinny-shaming is a thing? i always get shit for being flat and having really thin arms.
i agree that it definitely can be a thing. i mean i’ve heard people say insulting comments about people being too skinny. some people legitimately can’t help it. putting on weight is just difficult for them. it’s unfortunate that people’s bodies are always under scrutiny 
Anonymous said: bangtan’s fashion is really fuckin nice but sometimes they wear clothes that are soooo eccentric(?) i mean, they pull it off but any non-celebrity person would look so weird njsjkncs like hobi’s oversized balenciaga shirt lmao
lolol i agree. like i personally would never wear some of the stuff that they do, but hey it’s what they like so that’s all that matters
Anonymous said: Jungkooks undercut 🤤
i agree with and support all undercuts lol
Anonymous said: Jungkook with tattoos ❣ (on that note all of them should be allowed to do whatever they want to their body its not up to anyone to approve or disapprove 💪)
agree that they should be able to wear / do whatever they want to their bodies without other’s opinions dictating them. just let them be
Anonymous said: Yoongi looks better with a lil bit of chub in his face
agree. they all look better with chub. though i’m the type of person that literally never notices a difference in their weights. people are like oh [insert member] looks like they lost too much weight, and i’m like they look the exact same to me but alright lol. though i don’t like speculating on things like their weight in the first place. they’re adults and they can handle their health 
Anonymous said: I think shipping is okay but I doubt any of bts would ever really be in romantic relationships with each other simply bc it’s unprofessional and could cause problems for the group
i agree, but i think most people involved in shipping think this. that it’s not serious. it’s just for fun. but it’s like with anything. the delusional fans get the most attention compared to the normal fans that keep to themselves and don’t harass people
Anonymous said: bts’ military exemption shouldn’t even be considered. they special, but they ain’t that special. ☕️
i agree, but i did read the article that this is in reference to, and it wasn’t just about bts. it was about kpop artists not getting exemptions like classically trained musicians, and kdrama actors not getting exemptions like theater actors, ect. they just used bts as an example to get people to click on the article. military service is an important topic over there, so whatever they decide is their business. i’m not korean, so i don’t have an opinion really
these were the opinions i didn’t get to last night! thanks to everyone that participated!

Fanboy!Jihoon
Tumblr media
requested by: many many many people who have waited so long for this moment. I finally bring you fanboy Jihoon
is so dead silent about being a fanboy
Jihoon doesn’t even talk about it unless someone asks him
he’s so lowkey about it
people wouldn’t even know he was a fanboy until they discovered his playlist or phone background
and honestly his phone background isn’t even an obvious picture of you, it’s a picture that’s taken of your back standing in front of the ocean
and Jihoon gets flustered every time someone asks who it is and he’s contemplating whether he should say it’s his bias or his girlfriend so he doesn’t seem creepy by having you as his background
won’t say he ‘likes’ or ‘loves’ you because it sorta makes him uncomfortable
But catch him screaming that you’re the best in the whole group at Seungcheol
lets see, how he found you?
he was getting really annoyed at work because his coworkers kept nonstop talking about this new trainee survival show
and they kept bugging him about it, telling him to watch it and he’s all like ‘no i don’t want to waste my time on that’
But he gets bugged about it so much he’s screams ‘FINE’
he watches it that night, thinking he wouldn’t get hooked and he could finally tell his co workers that the show was dumb
but then
BUT THEN
he sees this really small awkward looking girl step out onto the stage, you’re alone, and it’s really quiet, and you start off singing slowly and in a very mellow tone and then it happens, this sudden power in your vocals comes out and the beat just suddenly picks up and you’re giving the camera a very nice smirk before it shifts to someone else in your group
and Jihoon is just, jaw dropped because wow you had vocals
he really wanted to watch more but it was midnight and he had work at six in the morning
so he struts into his workplace, still shook by your vocals, and ready to talk about the show and then he hears it
‘can you believe y/n got eliminated from the show’
‘WHAT THE FUCK’
Everyone stares at Jihoon who is facing the horrid realization and everyone is just ‘you okay?’
and jihoon just sits in the break room for a solid five minutes and he honestly can’t believe it and he’s in denial because who would want to give up your power vocals
Actually keeps up with you after that
like he finds out what company you’re from and he’s just sitting there
Waiting for any sign from you
Because he needs more
and finally, after much anticipation, he see’s it, the headlines stating you would be debuting in a thirteen member girl group
kinda salty though because ‘she totally could have been a solo artist’
because you were previously on a show, and you made it pretty far, your company made you the front of the group
you were the most popular because of this, and Jihoon really doesn’t care since all he really wanted was to hear your voice
again he wasn’t one to show that he really really liked you
but it so happened that your group was having an outdoor event to promote the group, and the event would be near him
so there he was, standing in a small crowd since you guys weren’t known yet
and it’s summer but he has a sweatshirt on, and the hood is up which is covering his hat that he wore
he just really doesn’t want anyone to know he’s there
but someone approaches him, and the man is smiling ear to ear ‘is this where the rookie group is performing’
and Jihoon mutters a small ‘yeah’
And Jihoon thinks the guy is gonna leave but he stays and he’s like ‘who’s your bias, i don’t have one yet, there’s thirteen members how do you choose one’
and Jihoon is just staring at this man who keeps grinning, and his eyes are so slanted and small that when he smiles you can’t see his eyes
‘I like y/n’ is what Jihoon responds with and he thinks maybe the conversation will be over but nooo
‘y/n? Aw, she has really good vocals, i saw her on the survival show, her song on the second episode was amazing’
and honestly Jihoon gets this bubbily feeling inside because you’re being recognized for your vocals and he’s so happy so he’s looking at the guy, and Jihoon is just off now, he’s talking about your vocals, and your strength and your tones and he’s so into appreciating you
this is how he meets Soonyoung
and while he’s talking, a van pulls up, and he stops mid-sentence, to watch as you gracefully step out of the vehicle and he’s so breath taken, he’s so into staring, he doesn’t make a sound like the other people, he just stares
He’s so silent throughout the whole performance, he just wants to sit and listen to your voice
Jihoon is so into your voice okay, his eyes are so concentrated on you with his ears perked up because he just wants to catch everything in your voice
He gets kinda sad though when you’re leaving bc he wants to keep hearing you sing but he watches you go with such a sad sinking feeling
all of a sudden, Jihoon finds himself roped into getting food with Soonyoung
He’s watching the excited boy eat while vigorously talking about the performance and for some reason, Jihoon kind of enjoys it
He’s one of the original members of the groupchat that Soonyoung added him too
Jihoon is still kinda lowkey about it but that doesn’t stop everyone from sending a thousand pics of you and making his heart actually hurt
woke up one day to over a hundred messages with everyone asking if he was okay, and Jihoon is so confused until he notices the notification that you posted and it was a video of you doing a solo cover
And Jihoon is watching it so intently that he doesn’t even notice that a small tear is welling up in his eyes
And he’s so hurt????? He doesn’t know, he wanted this so much but at the same time he wasn’t prepared for it
it takes him like 2 hours to answer the messages because he spent those 2 hours watching your cover on repeat
he’s embarrassed meeting you faced to faced.
Seungcheol managed to get him into a fansign
and he’s so so so anxious when he’s nearing the stage
He didn’t know what he should bring you so he got you this brown leather notebook because he saw how you had participated in writing lyrics for the songs and he thought maybe you would like a notebook
and he’s so nervous, even sitting in front of the other members he becomes so nervous
But when he reaches you, god, he’s so, he doesn’t know what to say or what to do, he’s slow motion sitting in his chair as he stares at you because ‘wow’
You smile at him and he swears he hears his heart breaking into beautiful pieces, and when you say ‘hi’
He can only let out a very tiny ‘hello’
He hands you the notebook with such shaky hands and you look at it puzzled before he spits out in a very stuttering voice ‘it’s for you to write lyrics in, you participated in writing lyrics for the song so i just assumed’ his voice draws to a silence because you end up smiling really really big and he only recalls seeing you smile like this in photos and videos
‘Wow! You’re a lifesaver, I ran out of room in my notebook right now. I’ll make sure to use this very well’
and Jihoon kind of sinks at that moment
He doesn’t actually expect you to use it, he kind of thinks maybe you’d just toss the notebook elsewhere and forget about it
But flash forward one month later, you go on vlive, and you’re doing a solo one very late at night
and it’s a quiet one where you say that you miss everyone
Jihoon is watching and he’s so struck by your natural beauty
‘Someone just asked what i’m doing’
And then, AND THEN
You pull out the brown leather notebook, showing everyone the cover of it while cutely giggling and saying ‘i’m writing some lyrics for our next comeback. A fan gave me this notebook, isn’t it pretty’
Jihoon is shaking, he’s so frickin shook okay, even after the vlive ends he’s sitting in his room, staring at the ceiling with a thought that’s like ‘did that actually happen‘
He doesn’t tell anyone that that was his gift
He just really appreciates knowing that you have it and that you’re treasuring it
He’s even happier that you’re using it to write about music
All in all, Jihoon truly treasures and cares for you. And he just really wants what’s best for you and he may or may not cry a lot in his room because of how pretty you are but it’s okay. He’s your number 1 quiet fan!!

In the three years you have observed jaedo and learned about jaedo, has there been any behavior that you least expect from them? For example, you think Jae might do something, but he didn't! Or is everything within your scope of speculation! By the way! Time flies! You like NCT for three years! What do you want to say or feel about NCT in the past three years @. @? Also want to know what you want to say to jaedo? Sorry, I have a lot of questions
Time flies... I lived in 4 different places, changed 3 jobs and am moving soon to a 5th location.
Doyoung blushing so hard when Jaehyun appeared in the comments during IG life. There are sides of neos we don't see and have little awareness of. Doyoung protects his personal life, so it's hard to know how romantic or mushy he really is, does his sentimentality affects his love life or not, what is important to him, etc. There is still no concensus on who is behind the couply look, who bought the couple hoodies (booze/snooze), for example. As an outsider I only see clearly his professional side.
Jaehyun having fun feeding vultures. It wasn't out of character, but it was a nice surprise to get to know how open minded he is. Very few people not interested in nature/biology are not disgusted with vultures. And Jae is not the member who regularly shows his love for animals (it's Taeyong and Taeil) to know how far his inquisitiveness goes.
I didn't expect NCT to become this big, to be honest. Granted, it's a new era of k-pop, when even female solo artists sell loads of albums, still, I didn't think the group will surpass Exo. Just shows how social platforms (vlive, YT, bubble) changed the game.
I'm dissapointed the vocal line is still not used how it should be. Sticker doesn't have songs like "No longer" or "Without you", where the vocals are very clear. Taeil showed us new hights, he really has full on flex moments, but his high notes are kind of lost on the tracks, not being focal points. Doyoung's "stay" doesn't have the same power as "Sorry that I walked away". Do has a cool line with a great delivery "3, 2, 1" in "Far", but the effect of it quickly fades away. In short, the voices are mixed in a way, that it's hard to see how strong the vocal line really is. My grievance with b-sides on "Sticker" is that I can imagine other groups sing it with autotune without a big loss to the result. I mean, it's been 5 years, "Without you" is still the best song from the vocal line. All the ballads we have are so-so.
Taeyong says that neos participate in deciding theit trajectory, but I don't believe it. I don't think it's a bad thing per se, but not all producers know how to work with NCT.
In short, I still think the potentional hasn't been fully realised (sans TaeMark, they get good tracks). Ironically, neos were weaker as singers during the first EPs, but in general they were recorded/showcased better.
Because NCT took a long time to become famous (in comparison to other SM groups), it was evident neos had a lot of fears and dissapointments. Finally, they can relax. It's nice to see everyone be so confident, energetic and hyped being million sellers. They have new freedom from doubts and insecurities.
As for JeeDo. They are doing the best they can. My only wish is for the time they can be open or, at least, free from the fear of their carrier being destroyed by antis/rumours to come sooner.

[English] A reflection on: “MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 'Interlude: Shadow' Comeback Trailer”
I can't get out of my mind the M/V scenes and the lyrics of this song. That's why you decide to write about. So many details, but some scenes really caught my attention. The scene where dollar signs are scrawled over cell phones is one of them. It's something I've been thinking and discussing a lot with my friends.
VIEWS / ADVERTISING / RECOGNITION / MONEY
Tumblr media
How far can people go to get views? Is it worth forgetting that there is a person on the other side, and treating an artist as a commodity? BTS has a very solid career, they are and have remained one of the most famous groups in history. Even though they now have more infrastructure, more money, more contacts in the music industry, more followers, more outreach, more sponsors, and are older and more experienced, they still (perhaps more often) have to go through this kind of. situation:
Leaking or worse selling information about members' personal and / or routine lives. Tae recently commented on a vlive about how they have to opt for private flights because people found out about it and bought seats near theirs. There are also situations when they are on tour and have their hotel rooms raided and of course we can not forget the phone number and addresses that always end up in the hands of sasaengs. Sasaengs, I've really tried to understand, but it's impossible, there is simply nothing to justify this kind of behavior, there are also some fansites and paparazzi who stalk and invade privacy in order to get unique information and images that they later exchange for money.
There is also the media in general. How many interviews, awards and programs has BTS attended in recent years? Did they feel comfortable in all of them? Did most have a big impact on their career? The answer is probably no. Was the media really interested in the music, BTS career, producing interesting content or just the audience / attention they would attract? Probably the second option. Even though they are aware of this kind of situation they have participated because they are professionals and in my opinion very humble, they know the importance of marketing and they are serious about trying to get closer to ARMY and that is one of the ways.
And of course we have fake people and profiteers, we all deal with these toxic types in our daily lives, but now let's think about the BTS scale: big companies, other artists, the establishments they go to, people of the past, ordinary people who they meet them by chance and I really hope it doesn't happen with BTS, but often family members themselves want a piece of their fame. Under these conditions it is difficult to build healthy professional relationships, now imagine in personal life? How to trust, how to let people come to you?
“No one told me / How lonely it is up here”
“Now I know runnig away could be an option too” - I do not know if this is the correct translation of this sentence, but to me it has many meanings, He may be talking about rumors/gossip/haters, conflict with his shadow or his relationships with people.
And now comes my main goal with this text. Fakenews, monotonous interviews, haters and profiteers, as I said earlier they are professionals, adults and increasingly experienced, they know how to handle/behave in these situations and if they don't know they are fully supported by BigHit. The lyrics of BTS Cypher talk a lot about this subject.
Now I'm sorry to say, our Boy Scouts are not bulletproof, not when they are responsible themselves and ARMY.
We idolize them and want to be close to them so we consume a lot of BTS, the music, the albums, the M/Vs, the shows, the social networks, their routine, the clothing, the merchandising, the cosmetics, the hair color, what they drink and eat, the artists they listen to / appreciate…
How many times have you seen news that because a BTS member was wearing something, that item was out of stock shortly?
Well… you are a fan and have the right to express your love of the way that suits you, but you are really being a fan when:
*Support or ignore only one member? They are 7 that became 1, is the name of the next album inclusive, of course you may find one of them more attractive or identify more with the personality of a member, but say that a member should be expelled or pursue a solo career, with them stating how they can only be happy when they know that ALL members are happy?
And all those rankings and search results, even small, are participating ARMYs and I'm sure BTS just knows about the results, as happened recently with j-hope who was the only member left out of one of these popularity lists..
*Ships, they are seven and yes probably have more intimacy with one or the other member, but why bring things to the romantic/sexual side, even if someday, such a ship is real, it will be equally disrespectful to guess how it's their intimacy, how many times I've come across ship-related porn stuff on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and even Weverse, even if it's just drawing or writing, they use these social networks and can see / read. If you're the type who can't help but think better of it, just leave it to your imagination, even though Tae himself said it's not safe there. Please let's see the ships from the perspective of friendship.
Tumblr media
*The way they dress and show the body. You may have a shy or bolder personality, you may want to look sexier or cuter, you may like to show off your body or wear extremely large unmarked clothes, you may have sparkle and vibrant colors on all your clothes or wear only black from head to toe, you may want to show off your underwear or dress like your grandfather. At the airport, when traveling or visiting family and friends, the members dress as they please, they don't have to be as neat and tidy as they are in performance. Still, there are always comments saying that this or that is vulgar, disrespectful, should not wear, that is too thin or too fat, that gets ugly with glasses…
*Members dating. I already mentioned how difficult it is in their situation to develop any kind of relationship, they know it, and if even knowing it they like someone enough to want to take over, we can't be jealous or angry and certainly have no right to judge / belittle partner choices. This all goes back to the sense of ownership, and we are not BTS OWNERS.
*Speaking of choices, tattoos, hair size, smoking, taste in music, hobbies… It's part of who they are, their attempt to build a personality and assert themselves as an individual. Don't you get angry and offended yourself or even sad when someone questions something you do / did? Every time this is done to them, it makes them more afraid to show who they really are. As if Korean society alone was no longer enough pressure.
These kinds of thoughts that I mentioned above end up in the media, certainly not the majority of ARMY thinks, but we have to remember that our fandom is giant and is in the spotlight so even if it is 1% of ARMY, are already thousands of users giving views on this type of content and this has just arrived in BTS. And when it gets to them what do you think they feel? Do they think the fandom that is a source of support and inspiration is wrong or are they not good enough? Do you think it affects their Persona or their real self?
I'm sure everyone has felt in the serious and sad way they talk about some issues, we can see at a glance how much they suffer and worry about it (lately especially JK) and how rarely they express opposition to that kind of behavior.
Even with the entire #LOVEYOURSELF campaign and their maturing as people, this kind of situation still hurts.
Tumblr media
Time to reflect:
We love, admire and are inspired by their work, but we DON'T KNOW them, and as sincere as they are in their songs and speeches, no matter how much of their routine BigHit gives us and how many shows we go to, we would never get to. be close as probably their best friend is.
They are probably still trying to figure out who they are themselves. I do not doubt that they are amazing and interesting people off the stage either.
Now if you met one of the members in a bar in Paris and had a chance to have a drink with him, would you try to have a nice and fun conversation or would you bother filming / taking pictures to prove that you had contact with him?
Would you scream their names incessantly and take hundreds of pictures while they are at the airport, at the mall, at the convenience store?
Do you think that filming their performance is the best way to share the feeling and message they want to convey to us at the shows?
Would you be one of the hands that pull their true self down and then raise your cell phone and film their Persona onstage?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As ARMY our mission is to provide a safe space for BTS to be able to express who they really are, whether they are still afraid or unwilling to do so, the least we can do is try to make their lives as artists more comfortable and happy. I really don't want to see again a sigh of frustration from Yoongi or JungKook apologizing for having fun.
I do not know that anyone will read and if read offends this text, it really is not my intention. This M / V was a slap in the face and made me want to write about it, because a lot of the things I described also keep tormenting me.
Just about everything I have described fits into the lives of other artists as well, and is for all fandoms to reflect on. What do you talk / comment about your idol, would you dare to talk / comment if he was your best friend?
Finally as the M/V has direct references to “O! RUL8,2?” Below are some wise words from our beloved leader:
Nothing lasts forever You only live once So live your life Not any other’s lives
Because at one point of someday everything you did Would be exactly what you will be
Sorry for any mistakes. My translation was done by Google
Thanks for reading until the end #LOVEYOUSELF #IPURPLEYOU @ZanquetJ
