﹟ he used to do competitive figure skating when he was younger but stopped a year after moving to america. he got into the sport because of his sister, han subin—a now retired professional figure skater, and saw her as a role model.

﹟ despite being seen as soft, jaewon doesn’t get scared easily and often partakes in tormenting the other members with chanhee. he enjoys psychological thrillers the most and gore films the least under the genre.

﹟ a human scale; he can tell how heavy someone is just by lifting them.

﹟ there’s an old video of him as a child slipping on the ice and sliding on his stomach, leading to his fans fondly nicknaming him “pengwon”. many often use the penguin emoji as a joke whenever he does something clumsy on screen.

﹟ whenever nervous or scared, jaewon said that his hands go freezing cold and take a while to warm up again after. he mentioned that it happens a lot still and he isn’t sure how to fix it.

﹟ his close idols friends include: oneus’ keonhee, verivery’s dongheon, a majority of nct, and sf9’s chani. he wants to be closer with stray kids but is too shy to approach them first.

﹟ him and sunwoo are childhood friends and somewhat rivals. they used to live close by to each other before and after jaewon moved back to south korea and would bicker a lot. sunwoo mentioned that jaewon is not the type of person you want to play fight with unless you’re sure you’ll win.

﹟ loves pokemon and animal crossing. his favourite pokemon are mimikyu and eevee while his favourite villagers are raymond and butch.

﹟ grew up learning piano and cello and is self-taught in bass and guitar. he often helps to compose and produce the group’s music and loves to make his own songs. fans have been begging him to post stuff on soundcloud.

Yes, this is what you think it is. Me, Dani Wilson is making a documentary about Choi Jongho from ATEEZ. Now don’t call me crazy because I will get into the basics of everything from top to bottom of this man.

Choi Jongho was my first official bias in ATEEZ, although before I fully stanned ATEEZ, I thought Mingi was my bias due to his deep voice and amazing rapping, but Jongho proved it wrong. I remember just being at my best friend’s sister’s room and she was talking about ATEEZ. I just remember being so intrigued by this beautiful, scrumptious, breathtaking, ass-slapping, toe-sniffing man named Choi Jongho. And then when my sibling told me all the little things about him and showed his talents I couldn’t look away. He is the best singer I’ve ever seen, he can rap, and he can dance, and his visuals are just so yummy.

He might hate wearing stuff that shows his skin, and I respect his opinion, but could he please just once wear a crop top it would make me delighted. I mean once I saw him in shorts and the other day he was wearing SHORT SLEEVES RUFUFUFUF, I practically suffocated right there in that moment. I need to eat his pterodactyl ahh fingers and toes right now otherwise I’ll commit a crime. I’ve never loved a man as much as Jongho other than Straykids and that’s a lot coming from a Straykids ult.

People really only talk about how he’s buff or can sing really well, but lemme just talk about his rapping. That man can rap faster than the main rapper himself. Also, I know I just sided his singing to his rapping, but goddamn his singing/vocals make me ascend to the heavens. His high note in Kingdom for Wonderland has got me into a literal trance that whenever I hear the original version, I can’t help but sing the high note (but not without sounding like a wet hotdog my bbgs) And partly the same with Black Cat Nero, but he actually does the hight note in real life like the baddie he is. And goddamn just his strength, bro literally was singing his ass off but at the same time, breaking an apple straight in half, like can I have a piece, please.

Also, have you seen his eyes holy moly I would sell my soul for him just to look at me like how he looks at the seats/ATINY/cameras in stage performances. I just love his lips so much like omggggggrrrrrrguyfkfyff I’d literally transform into a furry right then and there if I met him. And his no makeup/eepy face???!! RUFFFARDFFSNJTE. Can we just talk about his long, dark-red hair, I remember I almost cried over it, he’s so scrumptious and if anyone tries to take him or say that he’s bad then I’ll eat them.

So this is why/how(much) I love Choi Jongho. Tell me which ATEEZ member you like the most, and why you like him so much. Hehe.

Y'all ready for my hilariously candid unpopular UMK ranking!

Obligatory preferace that I'm just an opinionated bitch. This selection is overall really strong and I'm very much excited for the live show. I think a lot of these songs will make or break during the live. I also think there is an odd disparity in the obvious budget and set quiality for the 7 music videos. Almost like they had a different line-up and some songs were last minute replacements.

I also did not factor in whether a song would do well in eurovision at all because frankly rn I do not care.

This ranking will also probably change so like who cares, I'm ready to enjoy a great liveshow full of people who give a shit about their art.

Ok, here we go!

7. Vox Populi - Mikael Gabriel

The general sound of this one is fun and easy. Good filler or backgroud music. Like if it came on in shuffle I probably wouldn't skip it. However, the lyrics are like really bad. Especially in context of the seeming general opinion of this man I am seeing. Also, this man is strategically pandering and a. Its not working, b. No on seems to have noticed. The use of Matti and that obviously käärijä influenced face in the music video smacked me on first watch. He is capitalizing and I'm very curious to see what he does with the live. Not excited, just curious.

6. Dancing with Demons - Cyan Kicks

I liked Hurricane better. There its been said. I do enjoy listening to this but I forget about it a lot. It also took me until basically now to kinda remember what it sounds like. Meanwhile I can still think of the Hurricane chorus 2 years later having not listened to it since UMK 2022. I do think Cyan Kicks has a really good fun sound, I just don't vibe with this song all that much.

Also, this bears no weight on my opinion of either song. But I need to call out the hypocrisy I've been seeing online. I've seen so many people comment that they don't like the amount of autotune Sexmane uses in Mania and then go on to say how much Dancing with Demons showcases Susanna's voice. Like...... there is so much autotune on Dancing with Demons. It will not sound like that live. And that's fine, its clearly an artistic choice that fits with their musical style, like Sexmane. But pls just sit with that for a bit before complaining about the, frankly much less, autotune in a rap song. Tangent rant over.

5. Kuori Moi - Sini Sabotage

This is where my ranking will probably swap a lot. This song is really catchy and I ingeneral like this type of music. I call it chill sex. This is also a very fun unserious song and video played straight, and I appreciate that. I am worried about something with vocals this chill live. They're good vocals, but very intentionally monotone and if the staging isn't engaging it might fall flat. This song is mostly at 5th place because I dont have anything bad to say about it, but it doesn't stand out quite as much as some of the others. I adored her interview tho.

4. Paskana - Sara Siipola

This is a great power ballad while still being upbeat. It doesn't drag. The vocals are great. The music video is great even while being very simple. The lyrics and message are really really good too. This song gets stuck in my head a lot and I think it is, on a technical level, the stongest song this year. I really hope the staging supports the song but with how raw and peeled back the vibe of the song is it will be difficult to make staging that is engaging without being distracting.

3. No Rules! - Windows95Man

Pure unashamed 90s nostalgia schlock. This is very much the type of trashy eurodance I enjoy, so home run for me. I think the staging will be very fun, but maybe too much. Or it will be organized chaos like Portion Boys last year. Speaking of, this is definitely this years silly fan fave that will be well received but probably not win, a la Portion Boys and Teflon Brothers. For being trashy eurodance, I do think it is construced very well. It flows and it actually written well, its bad on purpose and it is successful. Is it the most original or masterful, no. It is very enjoyable and fun and low pressure, yes.

2. MANIA - Sexmane

This one gets stuck in my head the most. Good beat, good flow. I really like the sound of the chorus, including the auto tune. The lyrics hold more than I think comes across initially and you can tell Sexmane really connects with this song the way his voice delivers even in the studio version. This is the song that I'm most excited to see live because I wanna know what kind of staging he pulls out. Side note: I think it's really funny that the brother called Sexmane is less sexual musically than the one just called Isaac.

1. Glow - Jesse Markin

This is just a really phenomenally written and positive song. It is really nice to have some good classic rap at a competition like UMK. The flow is impeccable with his rapping too. There's a lot of American artists who can't write that well in english. The message of this song is really uplifting without feeling hollow because it recognizes you gotta actually work at being in a good place. Jessie is someone who knows exactly who he is as an artist and person and that translates into the song. Also Alpaca!

I think the the songs that have the biggest chance of winning are Paskana, Dancing with Demons, and No Rules!

But truly I have no clue how this will go. This is a very evenly matched line-up both in quality and fan reception. The live perfomances will 100% decide the outcome.

#places 5-1 were all genuinely difficult to decide on #UMK delivers quality every time #umk 2024 #umk24 #I do really hope they keep UMK going no matter the fate of eurovision #i think competitions like this are so good and important just to showcase the talent in your own country #i mean theres a reason sanremo and festivali i këngës have been going for so long #long post #I have opinions apperently and I didn't realize how many until I wrote this #if anyone wants a full rant on my opinion of autotune as a plague in modern music in general let me know #i do not have an issue really with how its used in any of the UMK songs #its just an overall gripe I have with today music

Give and Take - Chapter 3

"Hey, so we were just talking ... since Joe and Ja'Marr are just looking to spend the off season in LA, I offered they just stay here." AJ shrugs looking to you as if asking permission.

You were speechless for a moment, thinking about being in such close proximity. Not even because you just met them - your house had basically become a hotel for your brother and best friend's late night hookups - but for the simple fact that you think you have a crush.

How weird could it get? You think, nodding to your brother and Joe.

"Y-Yeah that's fine." You quickly say.

"Word." AJ smiles and resumes eating his breakfast.

"Thank you guys, seriously. You really don't have to do this for us." Joe says, looking between you and your brother.

"N-No, its our pleasure. We're all friends." You say, giving him a close-mouthed smile. You and Joe hold eye contact for a moment, almost as if trying to read one another's expressions.

"Welp, I'm gonna go shower." You state, once again trying to escape an awkward situation.

“We have some recording to do today.” You direct towards your brother. Quickly getting up from you chair you think, what is wrong with you? Shaking your head as you ascend the stairs. He must think you're so weird.

The self deprecation continued all throughout your morning routine, and as time passed, you realized that not only was that nagging feeling in your body exhausting, but you truly were tired from not sleeping the night before.

You had a deadline coming up for the release of your new album. The label had been checking in non-stop to make sure you were being productive - which you were - but not at the pace they would've liked.

After combing through your wet hair, you hear AJ call up to you from the bottom of the stairs.

"Ann! I brought all our shit down here because of the good acoustics, remember?"

"Yeah, OK. I'll be right down." You reply.

Even though you had spent thousands of dollars on a state-of-the-art home recording studio, you found that recording your vocals in the kitchen sounded much better. Of course, the studio was still put to use, but you both found yourselves set up on the kitchen island more often than not.

When you descended the stairs, you could see everyone sitting around the island waiting for your arrival. An audience was nothing new to you, but when you were performing the song finished, not during the creative process.

Having your friends Tana and Nick listen in was one thing, but now Joe and Ja'Marr sat patiently as well, which churned your stomach with anxiety.

"Jeez, we got a full house." You jokingly say, laughing awkwardly.

"They wanna see how the sausage is made." AJ jokes, garnering laughter to erupt from the table. You laughed along to play it cool, but you knew this was going to be difficult. Your songs were personal to you and it was important to you to have a safe space where you could criticize yourself, cry, goof off and argue with your brother over the sound engineering without people judging.

"All we know is football. I wanna see how y'all make my favorite songs." Ja'Marr says, smiling encouragingly.

Deep down, you knew everything would be fine, but you totally felt put on the spot.

"Of course, of course." You smile, swallowing your nerves.

For the rest of the afternoon, you recorded a handful of songs, some rap, some R&B and pop that showed off your range. The process became easier as time went by, with the guys offering words of support and cringeworthy synchronized dance moves to the beat of the songs.

Everyone spent the time laughing and having fun, accompanied by your famous obscene lyrics that you became popular for. You didn't know if this impressed Joe or not. Would he think you were sexy for being empowered and aggressive? Or would it be a turnoff that you were so vocal about your sexuality? Nonetheless, a smile never left his face, which you took as a good sign.

After spending some time in the living room watching a raunchy, late-night comedy, Tana suggests you go for a swim.

"Now?" You whine, but everyone else was eager to change and jump in the pool.

Digging through a drawer of bikinis in your bedroom, you debated which one you wanted to wear. Should you be modest or sexy? That was the question. Deciding on sexy, you put on a bright blue, micro bikini. Your brother wouldn't be pleased, but you wanted to show off your body a little bit.

You were the last to emerge from the house, closing the sliding glass door to the patio behind you and seeing everyone splashing in the pool having a chicken fight.

You certainly needed some liquid courage to stop your racing mind from feeling self conscious. So, you grabbed the bottle of vodka from the night before to drink straight up.

Throwing your towel down on one of the sun chairs, Tana turns her attention to you from atop AJ's shoulders.

"Holy shit! You look hot!" She exclaims, causing everyone else to look in your direction. You try not to catch Joe's eye and thankfully the darkness of the night hid the blush that crept up on your cheeks.

You murmur a 'thank you' before taking a swig from the bottle of vodka.

"I just kicked Ja'Marr's ass! Ann come play chicken. You can be Joe's partner!" Tana suggests excitedly.

You set the bottle down and turn to see Ja'Marr fall off Joe's shoulders and swim towards the edge of the pool to pull himself out.

Anxiety struck you once again, but you obliged and eased into the pool.

Great, now my literal vagina is going to be up against this guy's neck.

By the time you reach Joe, and before you can even blink, he's hoisting you up atop his shoulders with such ease that you feel your core clench with arousal.

You just met this guy yesterday, calm down. You remind yourself, hoping to God he did not just feel the reaction he gave you.

"Push her! Push her!" AJ screams as you and Tana interlock fingers trying to throw each other into the pool.

With Joe's tight grip on your shins and a hard shove that you mustered up, you sent Tana flying backwards into the water.

"Yes!" You scream. Joe takes you off his shoulders with a huge smile plastered across his face. You high five and celebrate as Tana spits out water and attempts to clear her eyes of chlorine after going under.

It was only after the commotion died down, and people started venturing into the hot tub, that you noticed the muscles on Joe's shirtless body. This was something you could not find on the internet the previous night ... and you had tried.

Before you could get too ahead of yourself, Joe's voice broke you out of your trance. You realize it was only you and him left in the pool and he's asking you about your plans for the next day.

"Oh, I'm not doing anything I don't think." You say.

"Good, I was hoping to take you all out to dinner to say thank you for letting us stay here." He replies.

Hope deflated slightly in you, thinking that maybe he was going to ask you out on a date. But, again, you remind yourself that you and him barely know each other, and he has not shown any interest in you.

"That sounds great." You say with a small smile.

"Do you want to get in the hot tub?" He asks.

Feeling slightly rejected, you shake your head. "No, I think I'm gonna head up to bed. I didn't get much sleep last night."

His brow slightly furrows and for a second, you think he looks disappointed.

"Joeyyyyyyyyyy!" Tana calls from afar. "Come sit next to me!"

Looking at each other once more, he nods quickly. "Yeah, yeah, of course. Sleep well."

With that, you hoist yourself out of the pool and gather your things. Watching Joe get into the hot tub next to Tana caused a wave of jealousy to come over you, but you needed to stop yourself from getting into something that could hurt you again.

[ trivia ]

is a member of “meowracha” and considered a cat for her skzoo animal

compared to a cat mostly for her frequent “cat naps”. there are many talker episodes where you can see june in the background curled up on a random surface sleeping

her and felix make up “tweetracha” as both of their skzoo characters are birds

is known to have a bit of an rbf (more of her just having no control over her facial expressions and making weird faces 24/7 without realizing it) and so during kingdom: legendary war, when reacting to other group’s performances, she would cover her face/mouth so it wouldn’t look like she was judging other’s performances

during their noeasy comeback began taking more creative control: writing lyrics, helping with concepts, and even a bit of directing!

most of the members have only seen her cry once; when lee know was eliminated in the survival show

her skzoo animal being an owl is due to her: 1. big eyes, han once said, “they’re not big in a cute and innocent way but like she can see into my soul” (this promptly got him hit with a shoe and june yelling at him for implying she isn’t cute), 2. she often “perches” on the other members shoulders, her chin resting there as she is “too tired to hold her head up”, and 3. cracks her neck and looks like an owl turning its head all the way around

(in interviews used to be asked if she was the “mom” of the group, which would make her and chan burst out laughing as she is 100% a trouble child of his)

HISTORY

Park Hyerim was born on September 11, 1997, in Busan, South Korea to Park Hyoyeon, a fashion designer and salon owner, whereas her father is a retired Marine Corps officer. Hyerim is an only child and has loved singing, dancing, and taken interest in various forms of art such as painting, poetry, and writing since her childhood. With Hyoyeon working as a salon owner and having a hobby in fashion design, Hyerim spent tons of quality time with her mother in the salon. Hyerim would often sing and dance for the customers just for time to pass until it was time to go home. Spending time in a hair salon for quite some time had also made Hyerim take an interest in fashion, particularly when it comes to costume design, and creative direction. What prompted the aspiration to become an idol was witnessing Janet Jackson on tour at the age of four, leaving Hyerim in awe.

Not too long after, Hyerim began formal private dance training in elementary school and taking various classes to learn hip hop, jazz, ballet, and latin dancing. By the time Hyerim became a teen, Hyerim was a top student in both modern dance and hip hop choreography. Hyerim’s father often suggested she join an entertainment company, leading Hyoyeon to enroll Hyerim in further vocal lessons at the age of 14. Hyerim was a profound vocal student whose only goal was to evolve and push her limits.

In 2015, at age 17, Hyerim attended an audition in Busan, South Korea for YG Entertainment at her parents’ approval, where she would finish first among the 500 participants. However, amongst the crowd were both a JYL Representative and Jiyeon Lee, who saw a rich star quality in Hyerim. Although Hyerim wasn’t auditioning for JYL Records at the time, Jiyeon Lee still saw a chance to offer Hyerim a spot at her label without the hassle of another audition. In a rush to sign Hyerim to the label and not taking the risk of YG Entertainment taking Hyerim, Jiyeon Lee proclaimed to Hyerim that she would be the future of music and can make history in JYL Records’ first group instead of being promised false debuts from Yang Hyungsuk, as well as promising Hyerim a tour of the label and the trainees associated with the group now known as TWIST.

During the tour and showcase of the label, Hyerim got a glimpse of the potential lineup of TWIST, consisting of Mina, Sohye, and Chaeyoung at the time, who were all trainees very far into their training. Knowing the expectations of the group debuting within the next year, Hyerim was quite nervous, however, she was put at ease as she witnessed the chemistry of the trainees performing and wanting to join them. Hyerim signed with JYL Records in 2015 and debuted in 2016, giving her the shortest training time.

Hyerim debuted with TWIST on September 1, 2016 as the main dancer, main rapper, lead vocalist, face and center of the group. She is known for being a ‘monster trainee’, as she excels in various talents and isn’t just limited to one position. Aside from her short training history, Hyerim is known for her lyricism, production, creative direction, and artistic views in TWIST. She has helped plan and discuss the concept of TWIST, being a huge contributor to the group’s image.

When the three of us did our Stray Kids bracket "God's Menu" was the winner. Combine that with "God's Menu" being one of the most prolific Stray Kids song, it only makes sense for this to be the first song for our weekly Song Breakdown.

On the surface, "God's Menu" is loud. There are sirens, gunshots, percussion, shouting. But in digging deeper, the song is traditionally constructed with tight harmonies and the instrumentation helps to reinforce the message of the lyrics.

So let's break it down.

First, the basics.

Your average pop song follows a pretty standard format. Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus. "God's Menu" is no exception to this build, but it's a little trickier to catch. These verses don't line up in terms of vocal lines, but in terms of the underlying instrumentals.

Obviously, we start with Changbin's intro which leads directly into Han's rap. That's Verse 1. It's important to note that Han's rap has 2 different backings: the sirens and quick percussion until 0:24, then the bass hits afterwards. (0:00 - 0:29)

Rolling into 0:30 we have the Pre Chorus with Bang Chan and Seungmin which slowly builds into the chorus. (0:30 - 0:53)

The chorus is split into two parts; the iconic "DU DU DU DU DU DU" (0:54) with an incredible dance break followed by the melodic chorus (1:08) "I just wanna taste it make it hot".

That "DU DU DU DU" also makes way for Verse 2.

"Cooking like a chef" is that second verse. It introduces the verse the same way Changbin did back at the beginning. This verse is easier to break into the instrumentals. It starts with Felix (which has the same backing as the Bintro, but muted and without the percussion), then the sirens and quick percussion for Chan's rap ("Idea Bank") and finally switches to the bass hits for Hyunjin. (1:20 -- 1:43)

By 1:44 we're back at the Pre Chorus and the build up, which is expected to lead into the chorus once again, but instead, 2:09, we're faked into a lower-energy bridge before culminating for one final chorus and the outro, which is the exact same as Changbin's intro! (2:33).

Second, traditional vs non-traditional elements in music.

For our breakdown, traditional musical elements include: melody, harmony, bassline, percussion, strings, horns, etc. and how they work together to create music. Non traditional elements are just noises (ex. gunshots).

For being "noise music", the only noise in this song are the gunshots and the sirens. The rest of the sound comes from traditional instruments - bass, percussion, synths and strings. It's loud, to be sure, but not simply noise. Go ahead and listen to the instrumental of "God's Menu" as well, which will help make sense of this section of the post!

Let's start with the verses. The music starts with low brass and percussion, which is heard through the rest of the song. Then it all cuts out and we're left with sirens and quick snare lines backing the lyrics (Han and Bang Chan's raps, respectively) before the brass and heavier instrumentals come back, leading us into the pre-chorus.

The continuous siren during the middle part of the verse is pushing us forward. The sound itself is like an alarm - designed to give a feeling of urgency. It's coupled with a really tight drum line, the snare punctuating off beats with a consistent hi-hat line behind it. It's short, like 14 seconds total in the entire song, but without the bass or brass layered underneath, the sirens really stand out. The two parts are very different, but pair really well.

The pre-chorus is melodic and harmonious and, after such a heavy verse, it's light and feels acoustic. The only music in the backing is this synth-y piano which slowly builds, adding the a snare drum that slowly starts speeding up, from quarter notes to eighth notes and ending on sixteenths before cutting out. This builds momentum and prepares us for the drop into the chorus.

The chorus has the gunshots under the second trio of "DU DU DU" as an emphasis. It doesn't occur out of rhythm, it's there to hammer in that specific lyric. (like, DU DU DU DU DU DU). The only other gunshots hit after the drop, with Hyunjin's "Ne Sonim" to usher in the final chorus and Changbin's outro. It's a very deliberate choice when those gunshots are placed.

When we come to the fake out drop, after the 2nd pre-chorus, it's the same backing as the last time Felix sang. The quiet, understated bass and horns allow for Felix's voice to shine through. The percussion layers in, quietly building to the final chorus to take us home.

Third, lyrics/meanings

Anyone can recognize that this song is about Stray Kids unapologetically being themselves in their music. This was their answer to being labeled as 'noise music'.

So let's talk about some lyrics that popped out to us especially.

"We just keep on making new things Because we're one of a kind" "No one can copy us, our own game" "Idea bank, empty your head" "What's our secret ingredient, we don't use such a thing"

All of these convey the same message. "We did it on our own. Our heads are a bank of ideas and no one can copy it. We're unique. We're iconic. We'll keep on creating in our own way."

This can almost come across conceited, but instead it comes off confident. This isn't "we're better than you" but "we know what we're worth".

Just to emphasize that confidence, the song is literally called "God's Menu" as if the menu of Stray Kids music is worthy of godhood. And even magpies, the National Bird of Korea, will come to enjoy SKZ music.

🐹: If you come to BTS concert, you have no time to stay in your seat. We have to move, but audiences have to move. It's a perfect opportunity for those who want to lose weight.

🐰: The reason that our concert is special is because there is always something to show for our audience. If you want to know what they are, find yourself.

10. What impression do you want to give to fans about this concert?

🐹: It is a concert where we are excited to talk with fans.

🐰: I want this concert to be remembered forever and remind them of the power that we had when we debuted. Of course, I am performing really hard, but I think I lost the feeling that I had had for "No More Dream". I will do my best more.

11. If you could book tickets by yourself, which seat sections would you pick?

🐹: Standing ticket. You cannot enjoy the concert in full sitting still. (I won't buy the ticket. I have applied for college courses online and I found myself to be really unlucky.)

Let's talk about Indigo

I absolutely loved Indigo by Kim Namjoon a.k.a RM-- the poet who speaks of dreams and personalities and philosophies that I never hear of until it comes from him.

Bear in mind, this will absolutely be long and full of unbridled love for Namjoon.

Track no 1-- Yun

This feels like Namjoon's thoughts on being an artist that comes at the crossroads of being purely artist with no obligations to humanity, and an artist that is flawed-- yet does not let go of humanity. A sleek, slow rap song with the gorgeous vocals of Erykah Badu's chorus that breathes spirituality into the lyrics. A song of beige visuals-- a color that is meek in presentation, but bare in its beliefs.

Track no 2-- Still Life.

First of all, the MV is a refreshing feat. The use of Liminal spaces without too many tacky or glittery decorations, gives more breathing space to the groove of this song. It's a song where Namjoon screams to the screen that one thing he'll never be is a passive person. A canvas can't contain, his own reflection cannot contain his actions-- he hops along and dances and vibes. The song has the potential to be a party song, or a hang-out song-- it's a song that makes you and your friends feel invincible. Anderson Paak's vocals give a lighter contrast to Namjoon's deep voice, and helps adding onto what Namjoon is trying to say. Oh Namjoon, you sure know how to pick 'em.

Track no 3-- All day

Namjoon and Tablo speak on two parallel enemies here-- but largely it's the bad faith media. According to doolsetbangtan, "They show cool people dancing in cool clothes, when in real life there are more people with two left feet" is a translation of one of the lines in Namjoon's verse. To Namjoon, misrepresentation annoys him. To Tablo, the subjugation to what is popularised annoys him. Both are valid reasons why they are annoyed with the media.From Namjoon's words and work being misrepresented on the media, to Tablo facing the massive hate train due to online haters because they felt he was lying about his education. The electric song however, stays strong above from getting too angry. Namjoon and Tablo realises that they see things through, and as a result, they must keep their heads above the water from muddling their music. And just like that, we get a bop ya'll.

Track no 4- Forg_tful

This might be a bit of a TMI (I'm honestly so embarrassed even saying this out loud just in case no one actually reads this)-- but sometimes my anxiety and my depressive thoughts do make me forget a lot of things. This song feels a representation of that. It's a song that asks for forgiveness because the speaker is trying-- they are trying so hard but demons still persist. Memory is a frighteningly becoming a privilege. First thing Namjoon does is re-affirm his age-- he's still young, and yet he feels so guilty. The simple acoustic of the song can make it sound light and not as memorable as its previous tracks, but it's a moment for Namjoon to acknowledge certain aspects of his life. And by god, I cannot tell enough how validated I feel by this track.

Track no 5-- Closer

Visual representation of this track-- fingers clawing at sheets with yearning. The smooth track sounds sensuous but it's also the speaker getting frustrated. They are at wit's end on how to get closer to their lover. How in hell can they show how much love overflows in them? Mahalia and Paul Blanco work as great collaborators on this as they help Namjoon weave an atmosphere to this story. It's a slight cheeky song at times, but underneath it all, is the simmering coals on the speaker's desire to feel the overflow of love from their lover too.

Track no 6-- Change pt 2

A sardonic hyper-pop track. Namjoon hates being boxed. He's not the same person he was a while ago, and he hates that nobody lets him change. Towards the end of the song, there's a slight indication of him condemning another person-- basically challenging them that they would have to live a life knowing that they never would love someone like how Namjoon does. Again TMI, but this sort of reminds me of my friendship with someone during my teenager years The friendship wasn't on basis of mutual respect, and became toxic. Once I left, and I changed for the better, my ex-best friend, even though she got the friends she always wanted, loved to remind me how different I was when I was with her. It was a sarcastic and bitter jab. I of course, can't assume the nature of the relationship between Namjoon and the person he is addressing, but I love how I understood this song from a personal angle.

Track no 7-- Lonely

This song was written in Vegas this year, when Namjoon felt lonely in his hotel. I love the neon-lights this song emanates. It's full of clicks and whistles-- the sound of someone just making sounds for the sake of making sounds cuz they can't stand the silence. I can almost hear Namjoon fidgeting just for the sake of passing the time. The line-- "and now I hate the cities I don't belong"-- makes me feel the speaker used to enjoy visiting cities purely as a tourist, but now, he feels the lack of belonging even more and abhors it.

Track no 8- Hectic

This sort of feels like a shout out to his previous song from mono-- Seoul. Namjoon claims his busy life isn't romantic, but the city pop rhythm of the song confuses the listeners into thinking he's singing something magical-- a trap he leaves to show much of a victim we could be to the idea that life of a busybody is more fun than a life of someone who's quiet. This song reminds of late night drives through the busiest parts of the city, where you are stuck in traffic and can't help but observe the people around you who are impatient to get where time dictates them to go.

Track no 9- Wildflower

this song is an allegory to a certain kind of life that Namjoon wants to live as for years. He's explosive in his exhales here, and those exhales get pumped up more thanks to the power vocals of Youjeen who belts into the mic the need to scatter into the sky. The song having the same intro and outdo signifies a full circle that rests as a crown on Namjoon's vision and plans for himself. The song makes me feel emotional (almost every single track from this album does tbh), but this one is the cathartic track. It's Namjoon finally leaving behind the guilt and pursuing for a better health of his mind, his career, and his self.

Track no 10- No 2

Funny thing, but this song sounds like a lullaby being sung by two parents sshvhsdvh. It's a slow acoustic again, but unlike forg_tful, it has a lot more strobe. After wildflower, it's the calmer end, a wistful end. "My felony" rhyming with "melody". This is a song where Namjoon tells to himself that yeah you are regretful of your interviews, of the boxes you have been caged in, of all the commitments you may have forgotten, but you have survived. You maybe cringing or embarrassed by your younger self, but that was because the young you was just trying to survive. It's best to no look back, and just acknowledge that those were the steps that you needed to take to get where you are today.

In all, Indigo feels like a very fully realised album made with care and discretion. I love the sound of it, the colors it exudes, the exciting new artists it introduced me to-- everything. Namjoon bared his soul for this, and yet, does not look back. I don't think anyone will read this extra long ramble piece, I am after all still new to Tumblr, but hey! No looking back, remember?

⠀SOLO⠀›⠀WORKSHOP 001⠀›⠀WC: 453

⠀⠀⠀“am i the last one you’re seeing today?” rowon leans back against the seat, comfortable and quite casual. he’d gathered from the other trainees that this is just a progress check, so no need to get worked up. “must be tiring talking to everyone. i’ll make it quick for you.”

⠀›⠀WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?

⠀⠀⠀“mm, maybe ..” he doesn’t answer this quickly, even though he has a pretty solid idea of his strengths. “i would say ACTING, which goes with PERFORMANCE. i think i have decent stage presence because of that. it’s what makes me stand out, especially since i’m not where i should be in terms of vocality.” humility. humbleness. there’s a certain image he has crafted for the coaches; he wants to be confident, not conceited. “i wasn’t born here, so my KOREAN wasn’t as good at first, but i’ve gotten better and more articulate over time. does that count as a strength?”

⠀›⠀WHAT SKILLS WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK ON?

⠀⠀⠀this, he answers immediately. “DANCING. i’ve got the basics down. i can do the choreography. it’s just a matter of refining it for the stage. MODELING, too. i saw the pictures that came out of the family concert. my angles need some working on. that should be my priority, since people are typically drawn in by visuals first, no?” he considers mentioning singing and rapping - skills that he actually needs to focus on, but instead, he goes with what’s more interesting. “i would also like to work more on my ACTING. there’s always room for improvement.”

⠀›⠀WHAT TYPE OF GIGS ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?

⠀⠀⠀“i can see myself ACTING IN DRAMAS, preferably as the lead, but i’ve got a long way to go before i can land one of those roles.” in truth, he thinks he can do a lot better but without the experience to back it up, it’s just words. “people have told me i’m really convincing, so i could do well in MODELING FOR COMMERCIAL FILMS.”

⠀›⠀WHAT ARE SOME LESSONS YOU’VE LEARNED?

⠀⠀⠀he’s surrounded by passion and desperation. everyone is so focused on their careers, while he caters more to the crowd. but of course, this isn’t what he tells the coach. “i’m flexible,” he says. “i pick up skills fairly quickly, and i’m confident in my ability to shine where i’m needed.” he pauses, tilts his head as if he’s considering what else to relay. after some thought, he leans forward in his seat. “i’m most useful when i’m helping others, whether it’s calming them down, encouraging them, or just being someone they look up to. i think i would do well in a leadership position.”

#lgc:workshops #‘make it quick’ and he rambles for four paragraphs lmao #rw — solo.

☆Member spotlight☆

This is a new series I’ll be doing on my account in between other posts to provide info on the members of my group going from oldest to youngest

Name - Park Cho-hee

Birthday- January 11th, 2007 ♑️

Languages spoken - Korean, English

Position - leader, main vocal

Country (pre debut) - Korea

Voice claim - junko yagami (and a few examples of her vocals bcs I love them, her voice sounds beautiful on these songs and if you have the time you should listen to the whole album x x x)

Personality- a responsible but somewhat stubborn character, although her tone sometimes gives poeple the wrong impression, her toughness usually comes from a place of love she just has a hard time communicating that to people. Characters she reminds me of include mio from Nichijou and maka from soul eater

Fashion - I feel like she’d go for something less out there and opt for something more light academia with aspects of Mori kei, featuring earthy colors and cardigans

Predabut:

Used to be a vocalist (non kpop at that point) that was basically unknown overseas but was pretty popular in Korea, where she was known as a child prodigy. She did a lot of theme songs for kids shows and covers, but only had two self produced singles, 영원히 처음처럼 (storm) and cream - diva

Overall ranking:

Vocals: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Dance: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

*Although she is far from the best dancers in the group, she can dance well enough to keep up with the choreo without sticking out in a bad way, and is able to carry herself with charisma on stage

Rap: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆

This is Lee Know!

Once again, that’s his stage name. He’s birth name is Lee Minho. He was born and raised in South Korea and he was born on October 25, 1998. He speaks basic English. His English has improved immensely since they debuted, and he has clearly worked very hard on learning what he can, when he can!

Video of Lee Know speaking English at one of their Maniac Tour concerts!

He is the second oldest in the group and is always helping the other members out and being there for them. Everyone refers to him as a tsundere, which I think means he comes of mean and cold, but he’s actually really soft and warm? I’m not 100% sure on that. But yea, a lot of people say he tends to appear more mean at first, but when you really get to know him, he’s just a big ol’ softie. And he really is. I have a whole tag dedicated to just Lee Know being soft.

He’s the oldest member of Danceracha, which is a sub-unit within the group that consists of the three main dancers, Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix.

Lee Know is mainly a dancer and vocalist in the group, but he’s done some rapping as well. His dancing is what he, arguably, is best known for, and he’s been doing it since he was pretty young. He was even a backup dancer for BTS before becoming a trainee! He helps the other guys with choreography a lot! Even though he’s most known for dancing, his vocals are fantastic, if underrated, and he’s majorly improved since his pre-debut days. He was one of the members who almost didn’t debut with the group, as he was eliminated during their survival show, but he was brought back, which was a great thing! The group wouldn’t be the same without him.

Some of his songs/performances I personally love:

Vocals: Waiting For Us; Ex; Surfin’; Wow; Falling (Harry Styles cover with I.N. during the Maniac tour, it’s short, but they both sound so good)

Dancing: Easy; his performance with the Mayfly Unity on Kingdom for ‘Wolf‘ ; Maniac; Miroh; Charmer...honestly, any song he dances too.

(The dance section was tricky, because all the songs I chose already have a video or two on the playlist I made, so just check out the playlist if you want to see the clips of him dancing, lol)

Lee Know has three cats, Soonie, Doongie, and Dori. He’s shared a lot of content of them over the years and clearly loves them very much. He’s also pretty open about his love for animals in general and tends to buy jewelry/accessories that supports or benefits animals in some way.

(The earrings he’s wearing in the photo above are from a company in Korea and a percentage of the proceeds for them go to WWF, an organization that protects endangered species!)

He’s also open (especially on Bubble) of his love for the outdoors, camping, etc. (He’s also pretty active on Bubble and regularly asks fans if we’re eating or telling us goodnight, etc)

I’m not sure what the rest of the fans think his defining physical characteristic is...wait, maybe his thighs? He’s a dancer, so his thighs are impressive.

But if I’m being honest, as much as I love the thighs, I’m more partial to his smile/laugh.

Lee Know is a fantastic cook and has been known to cook for his members at the dorms. (I suspect one of his love languages is cooking for the members, honestly.) He’s even done some cooking for official Stray Kids content, like a couple episodes of SKZ Code, vlogs that he put out, and even Vlives! He also shares food he’s cooked on Bubble pretty often.

Here’s a vlog of him making beef wellington for Felix!

His official SKZOO character is a bunny named Leebit. I assume it’s because his front teeth make him look a little bit like a bunny, but I can’t seem to find confirmation on that.

Fun fact: Lee Know is often referred to as a butt hunter and that’s because he frequently grabs or slaps the other members butts. They all do it, to an extent, but he’s arguably the one who does it the most and it’s always hilarious.

And I think that’s enough for Lee Know. Honestly, I could go on and on about him, he’s arguably my favorite. I love all the boys, but there’s something about Lee Know that I adore a little more. (Although, Chan will always be top favorite, if that makes sense). Here’s a playlist of videos about/of Lee Know.

Lee Know’s Playlist!

Bonus fun fact: Lee Know is a lot louder than you’d expect.You’ll see if you watch any of the compilation videos. He surprised me with that one, not gonna lie.

And bonus pics:

#Lee Know #Lee Minho #Stray Kids #skz #skz thoughts #skz guide #i could go on about him honestly #i love him #some of these might be a little challenging for me #but lee know's was so easy

EPEX Unpopular Opinions

Disclaimer: some of them you might not agree but in no way I am trying to hate on any member, especially when EPEX is my ult group.

I am sick of people saying that EPEX is "romanticizing" mental health because they are not. By the looks of it, it was easy for them to judge a book by its cover just because the term used as a title for the album was considered very triggering for some. However, if you read the lyrics and the context, it is definitely NOT BEING ROMANTICIZED. The songs were meant to spread awareness about mental health based on the members' own personal struggles. To me, the way they conveyed the message through their songs was nicely done.

EPEX is not a generic 4th gen boy group, they just have to make more vocally oriented, and less safe songs. On top of that, more vocal training on 7 other members. I feel like Yewang is the only one who receives training since he's the main vocalist.

I’m not exactly a fan of some EPEX song covers not because they can’t sing, in fact, the opposite. I am saying this because vocally, I see a lot of potential in all of them, especially MU. It's just frustrating how he is the Lead Vocalist in the group, only for him to do a song cover like he's singing karaoke spiced up with a little auto-tune.

They should do song covers with a more EPEX flavor, not just karaoke singing.

Bipolar pt. 1: Prelude of Anxiety has got to be the best album they have released so far.

Anthem of the Teen Spirit deserves a Live Band version, I think it would be interesting.

I hope they do more songs like Do 4 Me, wherein they have proper singing choruses rather than rap chants.

Although MU doesn't have the most vigorous stage presence, he is actually not a bad dancer. The same thing can be said about Yewang.

Ayden is overall the best performer in the group. He might have even outperformed Keum if it wasn’t for their amount of center/screen time. When I say "best performer," it means not their dance skills, but their stage presence.

MU needs to improve ALOT in the vocal department. As a singer, he is good but as a Lead Vocalist of the group, his skills are very subpar that even Wish might surpass him. This sometimes makes me think that the latter should have been the lead vocalist instead.

Cyanide is an underrated gem.

Wish looks the most graceful in terms of dancing. That, along with his stage presence is like the overt version of EXO Xiumin. They both have the archetype of masculine charismatic sensual performer.

Jeff could suit rap metal very well.

Billionaire would be a perfect song for Yewang and Jeff to cover.

Baekseung may not be your ult bias but he has a very high likability, it’s so hard not to like him at all.

I’ve never seen such a same-age dynamic that is as lovely as Baekmin (Baekseung and A-Min)

If there are members who would be perfect for fashion week (whether it is a runway debut or an invitation), it would be Baekseung, MU, or Wish.

I sometimes don’t get how A-Min is in the vocal line. I feel like he struggles to hit the most basic notes at times. Even rap liners Ayden, Jeff and even Keum outsing him.

With more vocal training, Wish, MU and Yewang would have had the SM-level vocals. Whoever is training them needs to get his/her lazy ass fired.

IK this is weird but I sometimes want to sneak in to a control booth and delete their pre-recorded vocals to see if they can survive live performances without it

They need to quit that repetitive-ass rap chant formula and start singing songs with proper melodies. (Get Danke lalala whoever out pls and sneak in Demjointz)

bow has always loved being the centre of attention, doing anything that could benefit her in gaining popularity. when she was only 7, she asked her mother to put her in child modelling. her mother did anything bow asked because pui was her baby, jewel, and everything. due to being a child model, pui had no way to make actual friends since it would take up her precious time, and she knew that people would be fake and try to befriend her for her connections and popularity. this went on for eight years; even though bow was 15, she didn't stop her modelling career, earning money and fame simultaneously. it was her dream come true, that is, until a new girl came into the picture. pui wasn't the most popular in her high school; this seemed like such a big deal for her that she hired someone to get rid of her, no matter the consequences.

in 2010 bow decided to move to south korea to pursue her dream of being an idol, researching which companies to apply to—deciding to try out LATTE inc. and see where it takes her. waiting was never her strong suit. bow was quite impatient, always getting the things she wanted whenever. but for this, she had to wait, which wasn't even a few weeks or months. bow waited for two years for her debut. during those times, she had training and lessons on vocal and rap skills and even dance.

her first group was named CHOCOLATTE, a mix of chocolate and lattes or the company's name latte. their concept was precisely like chocolate, sweet, especially fitting for 19-year-old bow. during their debut, bow was dubbed as the most famous member, shocking people with her crazily gorgeous visuals. she was the group's unconfirmed visual and most known member. debuting with the song, red flavor, fans noticed that bow didn't have much screen time despite being the most famous member.

during their apple pie era, bow was given the best stage outfits, the most lines and even the most screen time. people finally started accepting CHOCOLATTE as a group. three years after their debut, CHOCOLATTE disbanded without a word to their fans. people were shocked to find this out as the girl group was one of their favourites. but this was not the end for bow; she debuted in late 2015 again in another group called ELEUTHEROMANIA. the lineup changed, and so did the concept. this time it was calmer and gentle-like.

fans agreed that, once again, bow was the most fitting in this group because of her fresh visuals and very skilled dancing. the choreography for ELEUTHEROMANIA was more complicated than CHOCOLATTE's, and though bow was the maknae, she was the most talented in her group concerning dance. bow's group members thought of the fans' reactions as unfair towards other members and thus turned against bow. pui knew about their behaviours because she was the one that manipulated the image of them. making them all seem evil and dishonest. this went on for nearly two years, though at their last concert, every member cried and thanked the fans, while bow was seen receiving gifts from the audience.

her third group, VERYBERRY, was very unexpecting for bow's fans. they expected bow to leave the idol industry and continue her modelling career. but she wanted more attention, not just in modelling or performing, but in general. this time bow was cunning, going behind the group members' backs and framing them for illegal things, like taking drugs or having relationships with multiple people. fans, of course, believed her as she was the most well-known member and most "trusted", as they say. thus making VERYBERRY disband. in 2018, bow got the position of leader in another group called SIREN. their concept was more like sirens from the deep oceans and seductive.

netizens disliked this as they thought that bow wasn't fit for the leader role, even going as far as bringing up her previous failed groups. fans flocked to her side to defend her. though she was thankful that people were stupid enough to fall for her tricks, she was irritated by how the "haters" would try to take the attention off of her. this encouraged her to create fake scandals about her group members to keep the spotlight on herself. people started calling SIREN bow and friends, not knowing that their actions made bow more popular.

after the sad disbandment of SIREN, bow took a year-long hiatus, intending to focus on her mental health and modelling career. due to this, fans were on the edge of their seats when they heard news of her coming back. taking one more chance to debut, bow hoped that it would last, but it didn't, as predicted by the netizens. bow was suddenly kicked out of MOONSTAR, the company using the "personal reasons" excuse for her sudden leave. though she was in the group for only four months, bow was brought up in many interviews with the group. MOONSTAR members were sick of her hogging the attention, so they refused to answer any questions regarding her or mention her in any videos. despite the group's efforts to erase bow's name, dozens of comments were still under their videos.

bow's last attempt at debuting was as a soloist under her brother's company. her debut single got 108 million views on youtube in the first 24 hours of release as people had been anticipating her debut single, as she had made a name for herself with her previous five debuts.
