Fucking thrown about Taeil rn. 🙃 He's not my bias but my friend's and he's managed to avoid everyone that was accused of shit like this by sheer vibes. He's been into kpop since 2012 and managed to swerve on kris wu, seungri, himchan, etc all before their related scandals dropped. The fact that he ults Taeil already has me denying that it could be possible. But SM kicking him before any allegations even dropped??? I can only hope that this just happened midway through contract negotiations and that's why???? I'm so utterly lost about all of this because old man Taeil with a broken hip is the one I would have expected the least. I'm in shock and denial right now and can only hope that this is some wild misunderstanding. I need the facts that come out before I lean one way or another in all of this but I'm bracing myself mentally. 😬

💌Someone wants to reach out!

Trigger warning : this reading mentions the passing of beings and other sensitive subjects. It is way heavier than I intended and I want to make sure that you know what you get yourself into. If you are underage, refrain from reading this post. If you know that you are sensitive to such subjects, refrain from reading as well, as a security measure.

As this is going to be a very detailed reading, I only put two options to choose from. To help you identify if you picked the right group, I will use some letters to try to get keywords as confirmation signs. In this reading, we are first going to try to identify who is trying to reach out to you. Then, we will find out what they wish to say to you. At the end of your reading, you will get a short advice from your guides. For this PAC I will be using letters, the White Numen tarot and the Threads of fate oracle, as well as some self made tissue box messages.

Group 1

Note from reader : As I was doing the last adjustments of your reading, I looked up at the sky through my window and looked at the clouds. That might be something the person we're talking about used to do a lot. In the shape of the clouds I saw many N and a few A. Those might be significant initials.

Who is trying to reach out?

Creative soul | Unusual talent | Singer | Heterochromia | Earth angel | 5th house personal creativity I SERVE | 2 of pentacles, 7 of cups, page of swords, The Void, The Weaver, The Revolutionary

Okay I know this is going to sound crazy but I picked up on Moonbin. I can't explain why as I didn't know him very well. But I thought of him as soon as I wrote that channeled message you are gonna read in the next section. Aside from that, I can definitely tell that whoever is trying to reach out to you has passed on. This person was full of life and ideas, there were many things they wanted to say and do but they didn't get the chance to give life to all their dreams. They were young. Very young. This person wanted to fight the darkness and be a ray of hope in a world of doom. They had great ambitions and though they were battling their own demons, they truly believed in good and wanted to be good. They believed that they could weave their destiny as they wanted and that they could change the world if they tried real hard. They wanted to leave a positive impact around them. Heal the world. I'm also picking up on Michael Jackson energy. Maybe you or this person was a Michael Jackson fan. They may have been misunderstood by people around them when they were living. Maybe they were made fun of as a child because of their peculiar personality and talents. Maybe this person saw or did things that people didn't believe in or were afraid of. They were the first in their family to be like that. Maybe they were the first to be queer or the first that had a special talent that was deemed out of the ordinary. Could have been an artistic talent but also something related to the unseen. Maybe they could sense ghosts or they had downloads about specific events. They could have been the first to break from the family patterns and traditions. Like maybe in this person's family people were carpenters or automobile constructors from father to son and they chose to be an artist instead. I'm drawn to the snake on the Weaver card. Maybe snakes were important to this person. Like it is a symbol that represents them or this could be their chinese zodiac sign. Years of the snake are 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 or 2013 and the next one will be 2025. But more than zodiac, I feel like they related to snakes in the sense that these animals are often feared and viewed as negative when they are neither good nor bad. They hold the potential for both and will only be "bad" if you threaten them. The reason I got drawn to the snake is because I know of an artist that passed on whose clothing brand logo was a snake. If any of you are familiar with The GazettE, I'm talking about Reita and his brand SNAKEDLOWS. Especially the one with the Ouroboros that was used in 2022. If you don't resonate with any of these artists, this could have been a family member, whether you knew them during their lifetime or not.

What they want to say to you :

"Dear love, I cannot stress enough how much I love you. You lit up my life in so many ways. I can never thank you enough for the support and love you have given me over the years. I owe so much to you. I was able to live a good life because of you. Please allow me to return the favor by being your n° 1 fan from now on <3 Fighting!"

Complementary info - The wildling, take risk, the pillar, connect to heart, The Void, 7 of pentacles, 7 of swords, page of cups rx, 3 of wands rx, King of pentacles

They are trapped in a state of limbo and they want to connect with you to be free. But they also want to help you set yourself free from patterns and obligations that you don't resonate with anymore. You are lying to yourself about the state you are in. You keep working and working without taking into account how you feel. Your life has become more of a routine and less of an adventure. You closed your heart to favor your mind. It's like you no longer marvel at life and try to run from your truth. They want to connect with you because they don't want you to do the same mistakes as them and ignore the signs that you are not okay. They want to help you ground yourself into an environment and a state of being that is healthy. Behind the Void hides Get curious. Behind the king of pentacles hides the knight of cups. They want you to be curious about love again. To open your heart again. To fight for your happiness because they don't want you to know the same fate as them. It's like they're saying "there are things I wish I knew sooner because if I'd known them maybe I wouldn't have had as hard of a time as I did". "If I'd known, I'd have told people how I felt. Maybe I would have been saved from my own sorrow. I don't want you to drown in your feelings like I did". There's a theme of mental health issues, suicidal tendencies and/or abuse from close circle like family members, friends. It's like this person in their life time chose to prioritize their job and the well being of others to the detriment of their own health and emotional security. They withheld information, pretended that they were fine when they were not. They hid behind their success and their career and most likely worked themselves until it was too much for them to handle.

Advice from your guides - 3 of swords, the world, The Pillar, Ask Body

Don't isolate yourself and remain in your anger or sadness. Speak up to somebody, reach out, open your heart to the world. There are other people who share your pain and doubts, who will be able to relate to what you go through and help you on your journey. Strengthen your body but also pay attention to the signs it is sending you. If you feel unusual pain, pay attention to it. Your third eye is opening. You are becoming more sensitive to spirit and other's emotions. So make sure you build strong enough walls to protect yourself from spiritual attacks. Ask your guides for help if you feel like you can't rely on anyone. Spend time in contemplation and prayer. The spirit of the cheetah is here to remind you that it's important to save your energy and only spend it for what matters. You need to find your center back instead of dispersing your energy in many projects at a time. "It is not unusual for the Cheetah Spirit Animal to come as a guide and support for people who have intense feelings. If you are empathetic, Cheetah reminds you it’s okay and healthy to cry. It releases all the excess input bumping around in your aura while cleansing and decreasing stress. Pause for a moment. Cry and then give yourself something wonderful afterward." You are asked to slow down and take time to let your emotions be expressed instead of repressing them. [Source : what is my spiritanimal]

Group 2

Letters : D R A A E T U E E O O Q A U E Keywords : tour, route, area, Qatar, road, dare, tear, deer, dear, rate, root, tora (Japanese for tiger), rat, door, eau (French for water)

Who is trying to reach out?

Cancer I FEEL July 20 to August 10 | Model | Heterochromia | Healer | Musician | Dorky/quirky | 7th house Awareness of others I CONNECT | 10 th house Outerworld I ACHIEVE | 8 of pentacles, 6 of cups, King of swords, Self love, The Void, The Seeker rx

I get two possibilities for this group. Some of you could have a passed on ancestor / parent trying to contact you. For others, this person is living but you are not in contact with them at the moment. In both cases, I get this feeling of communication being blocked. It's as if you refuse to be in contact with them or you delay the moments when you are in contact with them. No matter the situation, you are taking refuge in your work as a way to avoid them. This person could be a soulmate and/or someone from your childhood. I get the feeling of a dynamic between someone that is quite old and someone that is quite young. Like a clash of generations. This is just one example between many but think of a parent and their child or a mentor and their protégé. This person could have had a higher status than yours. Aside from the careers mentioned by the tissue box messages I also sense law enforcement, military, politics. Positions of authority in general. It's like you've created a bubble around you and you stay in that bubble. No matter how hard this person is trying to reach out, their attempts are cut short by the distance between you. It's like you voluntarily keep them at bay. I feel a lot of sadness and worry coming from them. It feels like they're afraid that they can't help you. They can sense that something is troubling you and they wish to help you in any way they can but you refuse their help. They feel lonely and left out. It saddens them to see that you don't seem to trust them as much as you used to. They understand and recognize your need for space and independance, your passion and goals, your personal legend. But they also wish that you would let them be a part of it, let them in into your world and give them the opportunity to contribute to it even just a little. More than anything they want to reconnect with you and go back to lighter and innocent moments, where you share memories and try to build a future together. This doesn't have to be a romantic thing. Actually I feel more of a parental vibe than a romantic one. But of course it's going to vary depending on people so for some it could be a romantic partner that is/was very protective of you and kind of acted as a parental figure.

What they want to say to you :

"My child, you need not to cry. Our fate isn't one to worry about. I cry for all of you who are here on Earth, who do not know the taste of true love. I cry for my brothers and sisters who still have to fight the same battles, though I've fought them before. I wish I could heal the world. I wish I could heal you too. <3"

Complementary info - Underworld, Seeker rx, Paradox, The Revolutionary, knight of pentacles, 3 of pentacles, knight of pentacles, Judgement

They wish that instead of giving a lot of attention to others you would allow yourself to receive help and attention from them. That you would stop keeping them at bay and let them show you a new perspective, a different way of doing things. That you would let them pave the way a little more for you and shed light onto other paths, other skills, other people that could be helpful. They want to find a common ground with you and create something stable, fruitful. They want to team up with you in order to restore balance in your life. If some of you are facing legal matters or have been wronged, they want to help you get retribution. They wish you wouldn't be so hard on yourself and stop fighting your battles alone. It's like they're saying "it doesn't have to be just you against the whole world, you don't even have to fight if you don't want to ; if you truly want it, let me stand by your side". For a lot of you this concerns your career or your studies. They wish that you would share your load with them. They wish that you would come to them for advice instead of trying to save them the worry because they're going to worry anyway so they might as well worry with you. They wish that you wouldn't be so harsh on them and judge them so harshly. You underestimate this person's ability to understand you. They wish to say "I've been there to and I know how you feel". They want to let you know that you are not alone, they fully support you in your decisions and choices. They're ready to fight for and with you. All they need is your command. They're saying "tell me what you need and I'll be getting it for you, tell me your fears and I'll send them away". Just one word from you and they will serve justice. There's also a theme about prayer, similarily to group 1. I heard "God is mighty and if you ask you shall receive". I know religion is a touchy subject so I don't want to force beliefs on anyone but if that is something you resonate with then they encourage you to keep going and turn to God for help.

Advice from your guides - Death, Versatility rx, page of cups, 4 of swords

They want you to take rest and do things that you enjoy. You may want to get your health checked. Put an end to connections and habits that are detrimental to you.

Under the celestial moon

---------------------

𝐒𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐍 (부승관) Imagines, One-shot

Genre : Fluff, romance, emotional

Pairing : Idol!Seungkwan x fem!reader

Warning : mentions of Moonbin, pet names, mention of death & emotional

After losing someone he cherishes the most, Seungkwan became miserable and needed a shoulder to rely on...

---------------------

"I know that you're not alright"

That's it. Seungkwan broke down in tears and hugged you tightly like there was no tomorrow. You could feel your boyfriend's tears streaming down his face making your shirt wet.

"it's okay dear. Let it all out"

Seungkwan clutched your shirt tightly and cried so hard that it made your eyes teary but you acted strong for your boyfriend who just lost one of the people he loved the most. Things were not going well for Seungkwan as after Moonbin's death he became stressed and couldn't focus on his career.

So he took a break from everything. You tried to make him feel better but your efforts were in vain making it hard for both you and him. Seungkwan felt guilty and apologised so many times which made you feel annoyed. You were his girlfriend so of course you have to take care of him.

"Are you tired? Do you wanna eat something or?" You asked him in a tone that showed your concern. You were about to get up but his hands grabbed your wrist and pulled you closer to him.

"I just want you, dear" he laid on the bed and pulled you in closer to cuddle. You flashed him a genuine smile and made yourself relaxed in his arms.

"Thank you, darling. If it wasn't for you I don't know what I could have possibly done. I love you" his voice was almost a whisper that only you and him could hear. Seungkwan chuckled and put his chin on top of your head as snuggled in his arms trying to hide your siren-red face. Shortly, you fell asleep in his arms relaxed.

"I love you(too)," he said as he kissed your forehead.

Seungkwan stared at the celestial moon which was hanging in the dim sky. "I miss you" A tear flowed down on his cheeks as the thoughts of Bin rushed to his mind but he quickly wiped it away as he closed his eyes went into his deep slumber.

i was chatting to someone on another site about this odd pattern when it came to kpop controversies and the timing of it all but what sticks out to me is what happens before they might pass on, so take jonghyun for instance, as i wasnt a kpop fan at that time but apparently he got much backlash and or general public hate despite end up being one of the most well loved singers of shinee, unless im wrong it seems a common occurance with idols or korean stars passing on at a young age and i cant unthink it now with all these small little controversies coming about and u know how small things in kpop seem to start small then snowplow into something bigger than it needs to be?

since rheres been many stars passing on young, yet korean scoiety never seems to learn to do better instead it always feels like kpop / korea takes one small step forward to improve things then it takes three massive steps back and doesnt seem to care to improve things for its young stars especially. im a bit concerned there may be another jjong type situation again where another idol might be like fuck this korean society

i dont wish that upon anyone ofc not but coupd u pls settle my overactive mind and say that nothing like jjong or kim sae ron is going to happen again any time soon? yet every time it does happen it doesnt surprise me in the slightest because of how things pan out over there i just cant not think this again with all these little controversies becoming big eventually it seems like its no time at all before another korean or idol star passes away young and youve mentioned d3@th clauses too in ur readings so im like wtf is really going on over there and why so much trouble just to keep kpop in the media i guess

jjong moonbin kim sae ron were in their mid to late 20s... i just seem to think its taking out the weaklinks either to keep pushing parasocial relationships with only idols that are willingly enough to act it out even if its against their will or smth or is it something else? thanks very much i cant wait to see what ur response is!

I think we have to learn to detach from the idols and the industry, because what they do is something we as fans cannot control and the industry, I just don't see changing at all and I don't think are mental state should be predicated on what this industry does and what they do to these idols or what these idols do. We got to put are mental health and peace first. That is what I do, even if I get this information, because at the end of the day. I can only control myself and the situations around me, to an extent, we can't control everything. It is up the idols to figure their stuff out. So, I can't really calm your mind with that, because I have no clue if it will happen again, but with how the industry works. I don't see it stopping, unless these people learn to cope and handle the pressure of the industry themselves. All we can do is focus on our own lives and check on our own mental health and happiness. I can hope you don't think about these situations too much and learn to find your own peace and happiness.

Dating Scandal with Moon Sua

↝☾Time Frame☽↝ February 2022 - July 2022 ↝☾Public Opinion☽↝ Positive ↝☾Popularity☽↝ 100% ↝☾Overview☽↝ For a while in 2022 there were several articles written about rumors of Moon Sua and Jamie being together due to their friendship. On Moon Sua’s birthday (September 9th) in 2021 Jamie made a post with two selfies of him with Moon Sua and Moonbin wishing the female idol a happy birthday and that sparked a lot of eyes on the duo. After that a lot of people looked into past interviews and streams to see if Moonbin or Jamie have talked about any sort of potential relationship and there was a viral clip of Moonbin more or less giving his blessing if they wanted to date saying Jamie was a good man so why not and then they could be brothers and how it would be "cute." However, much to the dismay of the public both idols and their companies denied the rumors in July of 2022. Jamie said in his statement the following: “This is ENHYPEN’s Jamie here to tell you guys that I am not currently in a relationship with Moon Sua, nor anyone else. I also would like to kindly say, I have no interest in dating anyone currently as I want to focus on my career as an idol and also I want to work on myself as a person. I want to work on being a more independent person and I need to work on regulating my emotions and how to express them. So please, stop with the baseless scandals. People have friends, ya know? I love you guys, please let me work on being a better idol for myself and for you guys. Bye.”

Death is by far the worst thing anyone has to go through the constant day to day thought of that person never coming back,not knowing rlly where they are. I've been praying moonbin is with our father God in heaven,and that he's at peace finally,that's the good part of this, is he's no longer in this sh!tty world, he's now somewhere where he can be at complete serenity, us a aroha have to heal through this together, because he wouldnt want us sad,he would want us to smile and see what he accomplished, im praying we will see him again, see that smile, hear that soft voice i adore so d@mn much, idk if he had faith in god, but i sure hope god has mercy because of the kind person he was, he made us all smile, and always told us to be good people. I still remember summer of 2018 when I first watched a video of astro and it was the 'What Does a Fox Say' video.

I immediately knew I had to stan,and the first member that caught my eye was him,i was so young and deeply loved them, then i fell deep into 4th gen and didnt pay em any mind and i regret it,in February i came back to em for a bit and fell off again but always loved them the most, expecially binnie, and then in march i decided to focus on my mental health and leave my phone and just watch netflix all summer, it wasnt until just 5 days ago i wanted to see what was up in the kpop world and the first article i saw was abt binnie, my heart sank,i immediately started breaking down screaming no it wasnt real, the one that birthed my heart deep into kpop, the one i had jus been watching back in February not knowing he would leave us in a month priar. And now I wish I would've spent more time with them,cause now he's gone and it's too late for me,Idk if kpop will be the same for me, I can't sleep at night not knowing if he's at peace, but thank you sm Binnie, for being the most amazing soul ever, and always making us laugh, until we meet again handsome, I love you Binnie❤️❤️❤️🕊️🕊️

BTS’ SUGA on going solo, his love of hip-hop and the band’s future: ‘We’re real brothers, period’

However you look at the current purgatory for K-pop superstars BTS �� a long-expected pause for military service, a renewed focus on solo careers or an existential crisis for the genre — there are significant stakes not just for the group, but for the global music industry.

While the seven members of the most successful act in South Korean history take turns, based on their respective birthdates, performing mandatory 18-month stints in the military — Jin and j-hope are currently serving — those not yet conscripted have the chance to reestablish themselves as solo acts, after six chart-topping Billboard albums and six No. 1 Hot 100 singles.

For the band’s label, Hybe, in the midst of a global acquisition spree, billions of dollars are potentially on the line. Bang Si-hyuk, Hybe chairman, recently stated that there is no set date for BTS’ comeback as a group, though he hopes they can return in 2025.

Before beginning his military term later this year, group member SUGA is touring U.S. arenas on the back of his solo debut album, “D-Day,” performed under the alias Agust D (he has two other mixtapes as Agust D). The dark, smoldering rap album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

This week, SUGA will perform three sold-out shows at Inglewood’s Kia Forum, on May 10, 11 and 14. However, he swears, he’s not competitive about it with his bandmates.

“Are you competitive with your family members? Do you get jealous if your brother or your sister does well?” he asked with a laugh during a Zoom interview (SUGA spoke through a Korean translator). “We’re real brothers, period. If I do well, that’s good. If my family members do well, that’s even better.”

SUGA’s Agust D alias has long turned heads within the BTS solo-project sphere. Sometimes, those heads nearly get decapitated via giant ritual temple sword, as in his 2020 video for the rowdy “Daechwita.” Other times, they get stabbed right through with a pair of chopsticks, as Suga does himself in the deliciously grisly, “Oldboy”-worthy video for the new single “Haegeum.”

It’s tough to square this genuinely transgressive solo artist with the snazzy-suited, fleet-footed heartthrob harmonizing on a Hot 100 hit like “Butter.” Devoted BTS ARMY fans know that SUGA has an underground streak from his pre-BTS days, cribbing production notes from pioneering Korean rap acts like Epik High.

“Some bright and cheerful songs go into BTS,” he said. “But I’ve been doing music without any filter all the time, so I wouldn’t differentiate between Agust D or SUGA, because all those are all me.”

Still, “D-Day” is a standout, and not just for the sub-shaking production and gory videos. “Haegeum” is lacerating about modern life in South Korea: “Maybe we do it to ourselves/ Slaves to capitalism, slaves to money/ Slaves to hatred and prejudice/ Slaves to YouTube, slaves to flexin’.”

Then he turns his blade on the internet culture that fascinates and destroys young people (including other K-pop artists, like the late Moonbin): “Endless influx of information prohibits freedom of imagination/ And seeks conformity of thought/ All these painful noises blind you.”

“We’re living a life that’s better than ever before,” SUGA said. “Some say we all live better lives than the king hundreds of years ago. But everything we worry about is coming too fast. Everyone’s lonely without having a sense of belonging, we can’t relate to the things that our parents have experienced, like being obsessed with accomplishments. Nobody feels a sense of belonging.”

SUGA’s not immune from self-criticism, either. On “People Pt. 2,” with K-pop R&B singer IU, he sorts out his wariness around intimacy. “Selflessness can actually be selfish too, it’s true/ It’s actually my greed when I say that it’s all for you.”

“This thing called love … it’s conditional,” he sings. “Wasn’t loved enough as a kid, that’s why I’m the cautious type.”

SUGA, born Min Yoon-gi, famously broke down in tears after seeing his formerly reluctant parents attend a BTS show in 2016. What did they make of that song?

“I don’t actually let my parents listen to my music before it’s released because there’s so many swear words,” SUGA answered with a laugh. “My parents listen to BTS songs. Things are good with us.”

On one hand, being in a globally famous act means any slip-up could be perilous. On the other, BTS-size stardom and a reputation for real artistry allow for uncommon candor, said Sang Cho, co-founder of the L.A.-based K-pop distribution and event firm KAI Media.

“SUGA and RM are to BTS what Lennon and McCartney were to the Beatles. [RM is expected to be the next BTS member to enlist.] Every member is talented, but these two are definitely the driving force behind their music,” Cho said. “I think SUGA is a bit more Lennon — more explicit in his antiestablishment sensibilities. ‘Haegeum’ is a double entendre of a traditional Korean string instrument and wordplay on ‘liberation from restrictions.’”

“D-Day” also reflects on the music that helped SUGA become a serious artist. His track “Snooze” was one of the late Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto’s last collaborations, an artful yet stern track that brought SUGA back to his teenage days learning to sample.

“I’m not really good at piano, but I remember playing ‘Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence’ all day when I was young,” SUGA said. “It’s impossible not to be influenced by him if you’re born in Korea. When I was young, I needed instrumentals without voice to sample, so I reversed and chopped his music. I am very grateful I can call him a mentor even though I only met him once.”

While SUGA is playfully cynical about accolades like Grammy Awards — “Isn’t that a local thing?” he joked, echoing South Korean director Bong Joon Ho’s quip about the Oscars — he has nuanced thoughts about his place in hip-hop.

“I did have that differentiation when I was younger. I hoped that [rap fans] would approve of my music,” he said. “But I have this very firm belief that if I go to a hip-hop concert, where there’ll be only hip-hop fans, well, BTS fans are hip-hop fans too. I’m a huge fan of hip-hop, but what’s important here is that it’s not empty words to do music for the people that have sent you love and support.”

As the members of BTS sort out these years in transition, they’re still in one another’s lives. BTS’ Jimin debuted atop the Hot 100 with “Like Crazy” in March. Suga can’t wait to be in the crowd cheering for his bandmates when their times come.

“If you live for 13 years in one house under the same roof 24/7, you become a family,” SUGA said. “A lot of people think that the relationships between K-pop band members are kind of fake, but that’s not true. For me, it’s more like, ‘Oh, Jimin, hi! You made it to the Hot 100, I’m so proud of you!’”

I hope that in time when people have had chance to mourn that we can remember Moonbin in a happy way. I hope that we remember his smiles and his kindness. Remember his talent and passion, his dedication and hardwork. Remember his love for others especially his fans. I hope that rather than just remembering his passing we remember everything he was and everything he gave to the world. That's what he deserves.
