jongho: ateez final boss

more miscellaneous thoughts not particularly organized

he's like the ateez final boss. you think you understand everything, then...jongho.

the TRUE anti-idol. whereas mingi defies expected standards of existing as an idol out of...laziness? contempt for The System? genuine inability combined with lack of attempt to change?...the vibe i get from jongho is that he genuinely just DGAF. like he KNOWS what the expectations are, could follow them if he needed to (and does...occasionally), but usually is just like: "no". and no one dares to say anything to the contrary.

i lied in my earlier entry on yeosang. though he's in the running for funniest ATEEZ member (imho), i think he is actually surpassed by choi jongho. this man is just hysterical. idk if it's just maknae privileges but he has the ability to put the other members in stitches the way no one else can. and often it's via jokes that are objectively really stupid? but he sells them with an insane talent for physical comedy (see: making mingi twerk-laugh at the end of wanteez ep 18, gamer judge from wanteez ep 16.) and great comedic timing. i would pay money to see a jongsang comedy hour.

also has a very endearing smile and laugh https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJw8JJvonBW/. and just a bit of grandpa energy that i appreciate and admire. i was dying watching logbook 76 where someonec walking around doing interviews in a green room and jongho's just chilling in a chair listening to jazz out loud on his phone.

he's unfortunately an overlooked member of the group even though he's legitimately extremely fucking hot. there may be many reasons... he's up against stiff competition among ATEEZ, tends to have more subdued stage presence (for the sake of vocal support and injury reasons), and just doesn't put quite as much energy into molding his appearance into that of ideal idol (=maintaining extreme thinness).

don't get me wrong! this boy can dance his ass off, he just doesn't make it his Thing as much as other members do

now obviously i can't see into the inner workings of his mind/ego, but at least as far as i can tell...he's pretty content with his lot? i think he knows he has other things he could be doing and probably will do after his idoling days are over and i wonder if he's just like "why would i risk potentially permanently messing up my body/psyche for the sake of something i can only do when i'm young?". this is all just conjecture and definitely projection but i really do wonder how he feels about it all.

anyways so obviously he's the vocal powerhouse. when i first started getting to know ateez, he was one of the very first members i was able to identify, namely as the "guy who goes 'whoa'" (notably in the whoooaaaaah.....baybaaaay meme). ATEEZ really couldn't have done it without him, especially in the early days when the vocal training had yet to really take off. at the same time, he got a lot of flak from haters about his vocal technique back then which was...harsh but tbh not necessarily entirely unwarranted. not to say his voice was bad...at all--far far from it. but he was young and still working on letting his sound resonate in a more relaxed way, so there are times especially in live performances where you can hear him "pressing" a bit on the belt notes. he was still the strongest singer and the group and carried them in a big way, for a reason.

and he's only gotten stronger since then and it's been really nice to see his sound mature with him and singing voices only continue to get better even into your late twenties and beyond so it's going to be SO exciting to keep up with him as he gets older!

what i'm interested to see is how his role shifts as the other members have all come into their own as singers. as line distributions have equaled out (they were almost perfectly equally proportioned when taking GH3 as a whole!), his cauterized role as The Main Singer has become less stable, since there are now members who have nearly equally strong voices AND more prominently feature in dance & performance aspects. (yes i'm looking hard at San but tbh there are several members who at this point would easily be considered The Main Vocalist in another group.) i'm hoping to examine this more closely when i do my vocal/musical analysis but so far it seems like now he's given the more virtuoso parts and of course the high belt notes. i have things to say about his voice and the types of parts he gets that i will save for the more in-depth posts.

in conclusion ateez would not be ateez without jongho and i'm constantly basking in his awe. thank you.

editing your own writing is just you vs. the demon who wrote it at 2 a.m. six months ago. and the demon was DRAMATIC

I swear trying to write smut feels like:

His hands were hands and then the fingers were in the hand and the hand was with the fingers and the fingers had the hand in the other hand then the fingers dragged to the hand with the fingers and it was hot

I finished my fic! Finally. I still need to edit and stuff and decide if it's worth publishing. I probably will anyway but I'm just hating that I feel like it gets kinda lost in the middle and I don't want to put the effort in to fix it.

This seems to be what I've learned.
