5 Song Tag - QL Shows Edition

I was tagged by @pose4photoml to do this but there is no way in hell I can limit myself to just 5 songs. Have y'all met me? ANYWAY

When you get this, list 5 so many songs from the Asian QL shows that you actually listen to.

🎶 They do not have to be custom-made for the series.

🎶 Non-Western tracks only. Let’s support Asian music and languages!

🎶 Feel free to tag anyone that might be interested.

🎶 Add #5qls tag to your post for others to find the new favorites!

We are going to do this a tiiiiny bit differently. I will list 10 songs, 3 artists, and 2 soundtracks. Each should have a link to youtube.

10 Songs:

Falling Down - Roshin - All The Liquors

RUN - 2morro - The Beauty Inside (non-QL, not my favorite show but this song slaps)

Dancing with the Devil - ISBANKY - Big Dragon

Slow Motion - 77Ke - About Youth (ending song)

We Won't Be Falling Down - I don't know the artist but it's from Guardian

I Do - Ai Yu Fan - Be Loved in House: I Do

SPARK - A.C.E - Light on Me

My Cutie Pie - NuNew - Cutie Pie

Not Me - KANGSOMKS - Not Me

Real World - Season Five - Nitiman

3 Artists:

Jeff Satur - No one is surprised

SILVY - Again, no one is surprised but more people desperately need to listen to her

ISBANKY - I couldn't find a link to his own youtube, so please enjoy the link to his cover of Part of Your World

2 Soundtracks:

The Devil Judge (my brother has a music degree and he agrees, this soundtrack slaps)

Law School - listen, I know this isn't a BL but it's a fucking fantastic show with a killer soundtrack and if you liked the soundtrack for The Devil Judge, you'll probably like this

I'm not going to tag anyone specific but if you want to do this, consider yourself tagged.

my (very first) kcon experience 🌱 with pics!

hello hello! this weekend i was in LA for kcon 2024 - read on for more ~

if you want to watch my vlogs, click here

kcon + the exhibitors

80% of the booths we visited were giving away free items, which was very cool! but every line was looooong. i think this is because there just wasn't enough exhibitors to take up the space - the convention center itself wasn't packed the way i've seen anime expo and lvlup expo. kcon itself was probably anticipating most people were showing up for the stages - i didn't watch these because variety content isn't really what i'm into kpop for.

i did not visit the samsung booth - from what i understood, this was the only way to access the kcon stage, which was sectioned off from the rest of the convention space. that booth was promoting samsung AI, and as an artist, writer, and designer, i am a generative AI hater. and yes, i missed out on seeing A.C.E. because of it, which sucks since i've been passively following their music since 2017, but i just can't support AI!

the shein booth had long lines all three days, and as much as i wanted to get the free accessories, the time in the line would not be worth it. if you're familiar with shein, you know it's nothing different from aliexpress, wish, or temu in terms of the variety of items offered.

we also got to see wooing by connie woo. my friend got one of the pieces of jewelry she made, and we listened to her talk about her story. i found it deeply inspiring, but also a little demotivating - as someone who wants to be part of the industry, as a designer, it feels like you need to know someone to get in. of course, every industry is like that these days, so i really have to work on getting more connections, but i just haaaaaate networking. it feels so soulless.

🔽 everything here are freebies from exhibitors, merch i bought, and fan-made freebies.

a special appearance from trainees?

on day 2, as we were entering the con, lots of people were gathered at the entrance. my friend got photos with a bunch of young korean guys in white shirts, and one of them handed me a package. inside was a diy bracelet and a photocard. (pictured above)

we looked them up, and they're called HinLove! they were promoting their upcoming debut. i believe many of them were contestants on boys planet, and they're from the same company as A.C.E..

on day 3, they were busking in front of crypto arena before mcountdown. those boys worked SO HARD in the sunlight, and they dance so well. it was a very interesting glimpse into the hard work that these kids put into making their dreams happen, and if anything, it's also very inspiring.

the stages @ the con

coming face to face with watching groups well, do fanservice was a little eye opening. i had a moment where i like, stepped outside of myself as a kpop fan, and looked at it from a normie perspective. i mean yes, it is cute seeing a hand heart every now and then, but to be praising these idols with such enthusiasm, for the bare minimum.. was.. well, interesting.

the red carpet stage was cool too, but it was scheduled so close to mcountdown that you would basically miss the entire pre-show if you wanted to see everyone on the red carpet. because of that, i didn't get to see quite a few of the younger rookies.

mcountdown

the whispers and conversations i could hear from fans were all saying that this was the smallest crowd they've ever seen, and that the lineup sucked. but are you kidding me?! this lineup was amazing!! i got to see many groups i started following in the last six months - boynextdoor, p1harmony, enhypen, and zerobaseone to name a few. tragically, keeho, leader of p1h, is VERY attractive, and that man knows how to work a camera. and i was right about hanbin being such a cutie IRL, too.. i now have merch of his, and i will be following his career for a long time.

listening to every group made me realize that i am indeed in ncity for life - their vocal colors across all units are unique. i feel like many of the groups that are trending right now all have similar vocals, which is by no means a jab at them - they're just not enough to overtake nct for me. like, you will be hard pressed to find someone who has a gorgeous deep singing voice like jae's, or the rhythmic rapping you see with marky. or even the roughness of yuta's roars!

nct 127 (what we were all waiting for)

oh, my boys...

the last time i saw them was five years ago, in dallas, on their first tour. even if they weren't complete, and haven't been for a long time now, it's more obvious than ever just how much they've changed as a group. they opened and closed day 3 of the show, and my boys johnny, mark, and jaehyun basically hosted the whole thing.

their stage presence is just.. otherworldly. you can tell every single one of them loves their job deeply, and the entire arena was neo city. i was so grateful for every nctzen that showed up to support 127, and i felt that i made the right decision doing the same.

i don't understand why sm is so intent on retiring them so early into their career - nct as a whole have such a HUGE global presence that just isn't tapped into. it's the reason that we're falling behind when we have to vote for music shows. it also doesn't help that many nctzens who spend all of their time online will turn on the members at the flip of a switch.. ncity is nct's second-biggest enemy, trailing behind sm themselves.

but i'm glad that nct never give up, and keep working their hardest. like i said earlier, it is deeply inspiring and makes me want to pursue my own dreams.

and who would i be if i didn't mention johnny?

oh, johnny suh.. this man. this lovely, lovely man. his energy was enough to light up the arena. he's been shining more than ever for this comeback, and it makes me so, so happy that the rest of ncity is finally seeing him.

there's a lot more i want to say about him, but that is neither here nor there. just know that i love him deeply, and will always support him, through thick and thin. i call myself the last johfam for a reason, after all. 💕

in conclusion...

a fire has been burning in my heart for the majority of this year. i found the home i'd been searching for my entire life in kpop, in ncity, in nct 127. and there is nothing more that i want than to contribute to the culture, be it as a fan, or as one of the many cogs that work behind the scenes of a comeback. kcon only added fuel to that fire, exploding into a brilliant flame of orange and blue.

for seven years, it's been my dream to work with nct on their album and merch designs. i lost my passion for design a few years ago, and now that it's finally back, i know what i have to do.

i want to create. and if i can't join the industry just yet, i'll have to make my own mark on the world, in my little corner of ncity. i have intentions to become an nct merch shop next year, if i can manage it. no, not if.. i'll make it happen.

one day, my talents will be discovered, and until then, we keep going. keep creating things that make me happy, and knowing that they'll make others happy.

forging ahead, in the only way i know how.

Took me a couple listens to get what she was saying. Because my brain does one of two things with foreign music. A. Ignore the words and listen to the beat. B. Try to figure out the words. Which isn't possible when you don't speak the language.
