EXO Asks

from http://yeolhyunabode.tumblr.com/post/157240204556/exo-asks

When did you join the fandom?: I’ve been casually into EXO since the Monster comeback, but highkey into EXO since Lotto, and so into exo that it’s actually sad since like November 2016

Who was your first bias?: Chanyeol caught my attention back when I watched Growl in like... 2015? Then when I actually got into EXO as in watching Showtime and all their stuff this past summer, it was Lay/Ksoo for a while

Who is your current bias?: I think I finally need to admit to myself that it’s Chanyeol and Bacon

Who is your bias wrecker?: Sehun

MAMA 2013 or MAMA 2015?: guess I’m a fake fan because I can’t recall MAMA2015

Kai or Jongin?: well he prefers Kai so I guess Kai

Xiudaddy or Minnie?: why not both?

Tao’s music or Luhan’s music?: I like a lot of Luhan’s music quite a bit and haven’t really listened to Tao’s except for that OTT dramatic music video. So, Luhan.

Lil’ Something or Best Luck?: idk what Best Luck is, guess I’m a fake fan

Kaisoo or Sekai?: Kaisoo because I’ve never witnessed Sekai

Baekyeon or Chanbaek?: Chanbaek as a brotp. But I wish Baekyeon could be a real public thing because they would be presh together since their have personalities that seem like they would mesh.

Krisho or Taoris?: I don’t really see either but I like them both as cat and mouse friendships

Maknae line or hyung line?: chingu-line, tbh

Miracles in December or Sing For You?: they’re both too emo for my taste tbh

Call Me Baby Korean or Chinese version?: Korean4sure

Two Moons EXO K or EXO M?: 

Lucky One or Monster photobook?: I don’t have either FAKE FAN ALERT

Chanhun double dab or Subaek dad dancing?: double dab

EXO Next Door or EXO Showtime?: Showtime for me. EXO Next Door was great fun to watch (my friend and I drank wine and binged it in one night), BUT it had a really, severely unsatisfactory ending. I can look past all of the stilted or awkward stuff because that’s par for the course with a lot of dramas, but just. I was so mad when it ended. I was literally ranting and raving to my friend that I watched it with about how frustrated I was by it. EXO showtime, on the other hand, had 1 or 2 meh episodes but in general it was great and I still rewatch it from time to time.

Airport fashion or casual clothes?: casual

Makeup or no makeup?: no makeup. Did you see the Bacon barefaced vlive? Because I did and it was beauty incarnate

Favourite song currently?: Heart Attack is consistently my favorite. But right now I have Ka Ching by CBX on loop. It’s literally on my kpop playlist twice because I made a mistake but I’ve left it like that because I literally want to listen to it twice as much as my other recent song finds.

Favourite album?: Ultimately, I think I have to pick Lotto. I wish it had some more upbeat stuff like Transformer and Exodus, and for that reason I almost picked Exodus. But I think I liked the songs on Lotto better overall.

Favourite era?: I was only around to witness Monster/Lucky One and Lotto, but I think I would’ve liked Call Me Baby or LMR era. I almost picked Wolf going into Growl but tbh I don’t like it when a small group that I like blows up because the influx of new fans are usually pretty crazed and irrational. I like it when the fandom settles a bit.

Favourite choreography?: I like Growl because it has this cool-guy, laid back vibe to it. And of course, the way it was choreographed to be captured on camera with the moving one-take is just... *heart eyes*

Favourite [member] hair colour/style?: Chanyeol with silver hair changed my life. Honorable mentions to Xiumin with his beautiful purple hair in KaChing. And Baekhyun with honey brown which I wish he would keep always.

Opinion on [any ship]?: I wish I didn’t like ChanBaek/Baekyeol because that makes me a giant cliche. But I think it’s kinda funny/sad how irl Chanbaek is bascially Chanyeol doting on Baekhyun and Baekhyun being kind of cooled off towards him. But they hang out on their off time a lot so obviously there has to be some sort of genuine friendship there. I DO NOT, however, think that Baekyeon was a beard for Chanbaek, like some people do.

In your opinion who is/was the best rapper in EXO?: Chanyeol. I have no opinions on Tao and Kris because I came in too late to really care about comparing them.

In your opinion who is/was the best vocalist in EXO?: I think Baekhyun and Kyungsoo form the backbone of exo songs. They have differentiated enough vocal color to really make their songs stand out. Chen may have the best technique but at times that I just... don’t like how his voice sounds. But that’s just a preference.

How did you discover EXO?: well they were sorta unavoidable ever since I got into kpop in general. I saw them mentioned in comment sections even when I wasn’t on exo videos and eventually got around to watching some exo stuff to see what the hype was about. I think that was around 2014 since I got into kpop in 2013. When I first encountered exo, I was generally unimpressed. I watched a live stage of growl and there was barely any dancing and their clothes were ugly (funnily enough, I don’t like that live performance to this day). So then after watching that performance, I checked out one of their MV’s, Overdose, and I was annoyed by the long intro and the ugly clothes in the flashy box dance scenes. After that whole experience, I noped out of exo for a while. Then like a year later I watched the Growl dance practice (so this was at some point in 2015) and was seriously impressed with the choreo and one-take filming. Then I added some more of their songs to my kpop playlist in late 2015/early 2016. Watched some of their variety in early 2016 and was super casually into them until Monster/Lucky One. I started paying much more attention to them when Monster came out and there were discussions about it on the general kpop subreddit that I frequent, but I was still very into Seventeen at the time. Then Lotto came out and Seventeen was on hiatus so I was in need of some more variety shows to watch, so I checked out EXO showtime both for that and to learn all of their names for good, because I was mixing people up occasionally (my group obsessions always fucking start with trying to learn their names). Then after Showtime, I wanted more. The rest is history.

NCT and blog related questions list

How did you get into NCT/ SMRookies?: Tbh it wasn’t until 7th sense came out. NCT was all over r/kpop on reddit and it was the new SM group so you know I had to check that out. 7th Sense sold me so hard though, the dance and the visuals are 100/10.

First bias: Taeyong and Taeil. To be honest, after 7th Sense I had Taeyong blinders on for the most part. But I saw NCT’s performance of Without You on a chinese award show (their first live performance, I think?) and Taeil seriously caught my attention both with his looks and his awkwardness.

Your first ever post on this blog was..?: pass

What’s the meaning behind your blog name?: it sounded esoteric

How did you came with the idea of creating this blog?: because I needed a place for the stuff that I want to write but no one wants to read

Do you have any bias/biases at the moment?: this is so hard... Taeil? Yuta? Winwin? Ten?... but Jaehyun is creepin up the list lately, too. So idk at all. But I gotta keep it real, definitely not NCT dream.

Favorite NCT song: Mad City, Paradise, and Without You

Favorite NCT MV: 7th Sense.

Favorite moment from NCT U era promotions: tbh a lot of their lives weren’t great so I didn’t follow their promotions suuuper closely.

Favorite moment from NCT 127 era promotions: in the NCT Life tv show when Yuta was being Taeyong’s assistant but he stopped to do a bunch of poses with the sword (katakana?) and then told Taeyong that it was to defend him.

Favorite moment from NCT Dream era promotions: skip

Favorite NCT Life series: I’ve liked the recent cooking one because all of the episodes were good.

A member you would like to protect forever: Taeil because he’s an idiot gummy bear

Favorite NCT dance: Fire Truck. The dance practice video opened my eyes (hah)

Favorite SMRookies moment: when Yuta was trying to make an official SM announcement video in Japanese but Ten and Taeyong interrupted him by saying “aishteru~” in dumb voices.

Which member would you chose to meet first and why?: Ten because he’s my only fave that speaks english (well, maybe Jaehyun now that I think about it)

Describe your love for NCT with N-C-T letters: No i Can’t, Thanks

An NCT unit you would like to collaborate with (for an ad, MV, anything): I would like to collaborate with NCT127 and replace their coordi because literally even I could do a better job

A member who gets you inspired or motivated: Taeyong bc he turned his life around so much

A member you would wish to get more attention: Yuta

A funny moment you’ve experienced as a NCT fangirl: I stayed up for hours watching predebut Yuta cuts from Abnromal summit. Hahahaha?

Do you have any favorite NCT blogs?: nakamotens

One super favorite NCT-related post from Tumblr: any/all pictures of Ten smiling and/or Yuta without his yakisoba hair

1. how long have you been stanning seventeen?

About 6 months

2. how did you start stanning seventeen?

I was browsing a music show thread in r/kpop and saw comments about how Seventeen performed in the rain. I watched that (Chuck) and then their title track performance after and was really impressed at their rain performance, and at how theatrical their title song’s choreography was. I continued to follow their performances, and eventually watched One Fine Day and Seventeen Project to try and learn their names and now here we are.

3. first impression of seventeen?

The first time I encountered Seventeen was watching a live performance of Mansae. I was more into girl groups at the time so I watched a few more stages to try and figure out who Joshua was (I saw in the comments that he was American) but I couldn’t and gave up. I think it was just too cheesy for my tastes at the time as I had only been a casual fan for the years prior, so I was at the beginning of my descent into kpop obsession hell when I encountered SVT.

4. how long did it take to memorize names and faces?

Oh gosh, forever. I watched One Fine Day and I STILL couldn’t tell between Dokyeom, Joshua, Wonwoo, Mingyu, and Dino. Wonwoo and Mingyu took me the longest to tell apart though. Probably like two weeks or so? Maybe 3?

5. bias(es)?

Dokyeom, Hoshi

6. Biaswrecker(s)?

Dino (which is NOT OKAY because he is a baby)

7. which member first caught you eye?

When I was watching OFD, definitely Hoshi and Seungkwan because I thought that they were hilarious.

8. which member did not turn out who you expected him to be?

I generally don’t go in with expectations so idk, no one? But if hard pressed I’d have to say Dino and Jeonghan. I also didn’t expect Joshua to be as much of a dweeb as he is.

9. First song heard by SEVENTEEN?

Mansae

10. First MV seen by SEVENTEEN?

I think that I saw Adore U and Mansae during a youtube binge some months before Seventeen was really on my radar. But Pretty U is the only one that I really remember watching for sure.

11. Vocal, Hip Hop, or Performance Team?

Performance, vocal, then hiphop.

12. Have you had any dreams about SEVENTEEN?

I don’t think so. I don’t 100% remember but I guess none of them were remarkable if I can’t remember.

13. what concept would you like to see SEVENTEEN try?

I’m not a creative genius so they should just do whatever they want. But I’d love something like Exo - Lucky One because I loved the upbeat 80′s-influenced song with pan-flute in it like wtf why is pan-flute in a pop song ??? Just something slightly wacky but also upbeat and with good choreography. Or serious/hardcore like Chuck. But I’d rather them not go too far into doing sexy concepts because I feel awkward watching them do it, other than like a special stage or b-side (like Rock).

14. what hair color would you want to see on a certain member?

I wish so much that they would give Jun the chestnut hair back. His hair in Mansae era was really just 13/10. And can they give Vernon something other than blonde? For once? I feel like he’s been blonde for 100000 years. He does look nice so it’s not the worst thing but it’d be nice to see a change. I think Dino might look nice with black hair that’s actually just super dark green so it flashes green in the right light. I also want to see Hosh with some sandy blonde hair a la Woozi’s hair during Aju Nice era.

15. which members do you think look better with their hair up?

HOSH is 13/10 with hair up, please always put his hair up!! Jun. Dk. Mingyu. Minghao. Joshua. Vernon. And maybe Seungkwan but idk if I’ve ever seen his hair up...?

16. have you seen seventeen live?

Alas, no.

17. which member do you think is the most “boyfriend material”?

DK

18. if every member were hanging off a cliff, who would you save first?

I refuse to play this mind game because I think the psychological trauma to the one I save would be worse than anything!!

19. which member do you think is the most savage?

Minghao, Jeonghan

Favorite…

20. song? mansae, chuck 21. choreography? mansae, chuck, aju nice 22. era? Pretty U was fun because it was the first comeback I closely followed. 23. song cover? U - Suju was pretty bomb 24. unit/team? performance 25. OTP? I don’t really believe in the whole shipping thing, but in terms of platonic ships, I love (1) the 95 line triangle and it’s saveagery and ridiculous dynamics, (2) dk and hosh being besties, (3) woozi and dk, (4) verkwan 26. reality show? one fine day and seventeen project 27. performance? the dance stage for MAMAs with the performance team UGHghgHGH oh my god I love it so much. Or for the whole team, the time they performed Chuck in the rain. 28. meme? *cries in jeju accent*

Which member would you like to…

29. have as your brother? Hoshi 30. have as your best friend? DK 31. go to school with? 95 line because it would be amazing to watch that Drama unfold every day 32. have as your boyfriend? questions like these make me feel so awk... but I feel like DK is most boyfriend material 33. have as your husband? see above lol
