Aria at Award Shows

Iconic Outfits

2020 AAAs NCT Daesang Award  

Peoples’ jaws dropped when they saw Aria sidle up alongside the other 23 boys, strolling out like she owned the building. The heels gave her enough height to be nearly level with Renjun - something she wouldn’t let the boy forget - her hair dyed back to a natural black like it had been during NCT2020 promotions. It was rare that Aria didn’t look slightly apprehensive about stepping out onto a red carpet, but the confidence was rolling off her in waves. As she walked, the slit in the dress seemed to keep on going, trailing up her leg and changing the otherwise classy dress into something that left the innocent bystanders in the first row suffering from a high chance of a heart attack.

tldr; Aria’s hot and people are Noticing.

2019 Show Champion NCT 127 ‘Superhuman’ 

NCT’s second win with Superhuman left a huge divide in nctzens; a rift between those who were ot21 stans and ot22 stans (sans and plus Aria). Up until then, there had been rumors around whether Aria was to leave NCT now that there was a new girl group supposedly debuting under SM. Their management team had refrained from publishing a response - but that only lead fans to create their own speculations and theories. This outfit played perfectly into the growing rumor; with the large circular pendant on Aria’s bracelet having two chrysanthemums etched into the gold. The flower symbolized happy endings and goodbyes, with nctzens taking this as the proof that Aria was truly set to leave NCT in the coming months. 

tldr; nctzens need to learn how to Chill.

2017 M! Countdown NCT 127 ‘Cherry Bomb’

Unfortunately, this era was the cause of a lot of strife for Arizens; the stylists either hit it out of the park and Aria was drop dead stunning - or she ended up looking a little like a bratz doll a toddler had gotten their hands on. Unfortunately for Aria, their first win with ‘Cherry Bomb’ left pictures of her in a plastic, obviously dyed blue skirt and cherry pink hair to match immortalized on the internet forever. 

tldr; arizens hoped that her stylist got fired after this era. the plastic skirt wasn't the worst thing they'd done.

Other Iconic Outfits

Seating Arrangements

Depending on the venue, idols are normally sat on straight rows of chairs and benches, or at round tables. Given the choice, Aria would always prefer to sit at one of the tables, as not only does it give her a chance to not have to worry about her legs being seen while being covered by the tablecloth - if there is one - but it lets her keep everyone sitting near her in her direct line of vision. 

However, should she have to sit in one of the main rows, she’ll normally end up squished beside one of three boys - Donghyuck, Yuta and/or Renjun. Should one of those three be unaviliable, Doyoung and Jeno are usually quick enough to fill in the empty space. 

Donghyuck would always be her first choice, was it not for the boy’s incessant energy that sometimes left her nerves fried before their performance. Most days she adored the company - adored him and his efforts to get her mind off their impending songs with various games and ways to pass the time (they're not allowed play footsie anymore though, because Aria stomped on his foot with her heel once) - but other days she just needed someone to hold her hand and say nothing. That’s where Yuta and Renjun come in.

As Aria’s found out over the years, for all the man’s tactile affection and loud displays of love, Yuta’s highly perceptive to when she needs some silent comfort. Now, she’s not sure if he’s that perceptive to everyone or just her - but either way she’s not complaining. 

With Dream, Renjun is the one she’ll sit with and doodle on the white napkins that are laid out on the table for lord knows what reason. After being bored out of their minds for their first few award shows, Renjun had snuck two black ballpoint pens into the venue in the inside of his red suit jacket. The drawings had become somewhat a tradition, and the best doodle normally is uploaded to bubble shortly after the show has ended. 

All in all, Aria’s normally quite content to sit in the centre of the large group of boys - split over several rows or tables, boisterous and bubbly with energy. The only real downside to it all is the lack of blankets available to protect her modesty once she is seated. 

Most venues split the idols fairly evenly between the boy and girl groups - with blankets being allocated especially for the seating of girl groups. This meant, unfortunately, that when NCT files into their seats and sits down, there is rarely something in the close vicinity that Aria can borrow quickly without causing a fuss.

Sometimes she gets lucky - other female idols might spot her and are normally kind enough to hand over one of their cushions or blankets, content to share with their neighboring member. Occasionally though, Aria has no such luck and is left to either pull down her dress multiple times per minute to cover the prickly feeling over the tops of her legs when she felt like eyes were boring into her, or wait for some kind of break so she could go find a spare covering.

Aria supposed after the third time something like that had happened, her members were getting fed up with it all. 

At first it was their plan B: should some type of cover-up not be available in their immediate vicinity, Johnny or Lucas or Jaehyun - once, even Dejun - or another member who ran hot near-constantly would shrug off their jacket and fold it over Aria’s legs, pulling it up and then lifting her hands to place them in her lap to hold their jacket there. 

Eventually it became their plan A however, now commonplace for Aria to go looking for the member who was wearing multiple layers and who wouldn’t suffer from the loss of their outermost one.  

Iconic Moments 

Twitter: [180821] and people rly say nct doesn’t care abt aria :/

Red carpets were always something to dread, in Aria’s eyes.

The cameras flashing bright enough to blind you, and the knowledge that if she stumbled or - god forbid - fell it would be immortalized forever on Koreaboo’s newest blog post. 

However the worst bit, was always the footwear. High, stiletto heels that left her teetering around on nothing more than her tippy-toes, precariously balanced as she made her way up and down stairs, over carpet and tiled flooring alike. 

Aria was used to wearing heels, but the one’s she performed in were usually fitted with various types of ankle support and a thick heel to give her balance. Wobbling around on a heel the same width of a piece of uncooked spaghetti was not something she’d willingly choose. 

Not to mention the blisters. 

Designer shoes were gifted to the company on a regular basis - shipped over just in time for Aria to slip into the pair before stepping out of the van into the sea of bright flashes and reporters. It always seemed like designers were too pre-occupied with making a shoe look good rather than making them actually wearable. 

The first time Aria had been gifted a set of heels - early 2018 - she made the mistake of assuming that they would be in similar comfort as her performance heels. 

Two hours later and with a wad of bloody tissue stuffed into the back of them, Aria had learnt her lesson. 

From then on, it was commonplace for Aria to bandage her heels before she went out to shows - not quite as heavily as she normally would for a performance, but just enough to stop the skin splitting under the constant abrasion. 

She’d only been caught out badly once - but it was all caught on camera by a fan sitting close by, and spread over twitter like wildfire. 

Aria had limped her way back over to where NCT 127 was sitting, lips pressed together in a tight line and hands clenched in the tight material of the leather trousers she had been given to wear. The trousers stopped a few inches above her ankles, so the red mess of her heels was clearly visible as she hobbled over and sat down with a thud onto the seat. 

Donghyuck placed a hand on Aria’s shoulder, leaning in so that he could see her face behind the curtain of hair that she had let fall to hide her tear-filled eyes from him. 

“Riri?” Donghyuck whispered to her, thumb beginning to rub soothing circles into her arm. “Hey, Riri? What’s going on?” 

Aria only shook her head, gesturing to the pair of torturous heels on her feet.

Donghyuck inhaled sharply when he saw the blood trailing up her leg and soaking into the back of the heel. He turned to his side to elbow Doyoung, grabbing his attention.

“Hyung. Hyung.” He hissed, Doyoung turning around with an over-exaggerated sigh. 

“No, Hyuck, I told you I’m not going to-” Doyoung cut himself off upon seeing Aria’s pain-filled face. “Aria? What’s wrong? What’s happened?” 

Donghyuck slid off his seat onto the ground despite Aria’s protests that the floor wasn’t clean, get up, and explained what had happened to his hyung. Sliding her heel off as slowly as he could to not pull at the skin more, he muttered apologizes to Aria as she inhaled a shaky breath before exhaling it on a small, wet cry. 

“Hyung, did you bring anything for Taeyong-hyung’s shoulder that we could use?” 

“Yeah, yeah I did give me two seconds.” Doyoung bent into the small bag that he had tucked underneath the seat, pulling out a length of bandage that was stowed away in the outermost pocket. 

Donghyuck took it from Doyoung’s hands with a small ‘thank you’, moving to kneel back down in front of Aria and taking her ankle back into his lap.

“Hyuck, no I got it, c’mon the ground isn’t clean-” 

He silenced her with a look. Aria settled back into her chair - defeated - and Donghyuck wrapped the bandage around her heel as quickly but as painlessly as he could manage.

Twitter: [190323] HSHS ARIA IS A CARAT WE’VE WON LADIES N GENTS

Maybe Aria should have been paying more attention to the camera that was slowly panning around the idols, projecting their faces up onto a large screen beside the stage, but she was too engrossed in the current group’s performance. 

“그렇다고 네 맘이 작다는 게 아냐,” Swaying gently side to side and mouthing along to the lyrics, Aria was happy enough to smile along to the song and move her hands in a small mimickery of the choreography she’d taught herself off the group’s dance practice video she’d watched only a few dozen times. 

It wasn’t until Mark poked her in the side that Aria broke out from her own little bubble, twisting her head to look back at him and then up at the screen when he pointed. 

There, her face, staring back at her from the big screen was enough to make her mouth drop open a little bit and her eyes widen. She clapped a hand to her mouth before turning to hide her face in Jaehyun’s shoulder, shaking with embarassed laughter. 

Aria could hear Taeyong’s teasing laugh in return, before a hand came and ruffled the hair on top of her head, that she swatted away.

--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Twitter: [170911] lmao same aria

Aria knew she was there. 

She knew that she was sitting right there and that she was in one of those really skimpy dresses stylists loved to put girls in because apparently female idols don’t deserve modesty and Aria knew that she had a blanket for once and she should share it but oh my god.

It was Chungha.

Aria was going to pass out. 

Taking side glances every few seconds only confirmed the fact that Chungha was pulling down her dress to cover as much of her legs as possible, tucking her ankles together and underneath the seat.

Ok.

Ok, she could do this. 

Aria took a steeling breath, before shifting on her seat to face Chungha on more of a diagonal. She lifted her hand before lowering it slighly, looking away. 

Should she- no ok she’s doing this. 

Without giving herself time to talk herself out of it, Aria moved to rest her hand on Chungha’s arm. The older woman jerked slightly - startled - and Aria was quick to apologize. 

There was no audio in the video uploaded - the original poster having been too far away to capture much - but the two women talked for a moment before Chungha pointed to the blanket and then herself.

Aria nodded emphatically, and Chungha’s face crumpled into something fond, bowing her head in thanks before they unfolded the blanket another time and Chungha scooted an inch closer to Aria so they’d both fit. 

Chungha sent Aria another grateful smile before refocusing on the performances - apparently not noticing, or perhaps choosing not to comment on the rather obvious red tinge that the younger idol’s cheeks had taken on.

to aria: bestie...share u beauty with ur simps...aka aria supremacists

ARIA: Oh, like this? I don't have any makeup on, but here are my last two selcas~

[junicai]

does aria knows sunghoon from enhypen? because they were ice skaters

during aria's actual time as a professional, she didn't know him personally - but since both of them became idols, they actually exchanged numbers at Inkigayo!

she thinks it's nice to have someone who had such a similar experience of life as her, because she wasn't expecting anyone else to have the same background.

they meet up pretty regularly when they don't have conflicting schedules - it's nice to have friends outside of your members and the company

[junicai]

is aria close w any of her seniors under sm's label ?

Aria is quite close to Irene from Red Velvet! They bumped into each other quite often when Aria was a trainee, and Irene kind of took her under her wing when it came to navigating life as an idol after she debuted. Now, when Aria’s in need of a girl-talk or some time away from the dorms, she’ll usually go to her apartment, or Yeri’s, if the elder isn’t around. 

She’s interacted with, and is comfortable around the younger members of Red Velvet - primarily Yeri, and because of that, Aria would consider Yeri to be one of her closest friends outside of the NCT members. 

As for Amber - from f(x), they’re not very close, but Aria has come up in conversation multiple times on Amber’s YouTube channel, and the senior idol has expressed that she’d love to get to know the younger girl better. She made comments expressing how she’s worried the younger idol may be suffocating in a sea of ‘masculine energy’ and she needs some ‘girl time to balance it all out’. 

There’s a lot of fan speculation around whether or not Minho from SHINee and Aria have a friendship or not, but they do! Netizens blew up a video of Minho tugging Aria into a playful headlock, and blew it up - saying that the older man was ‘assaulting’ the younger girl. SM Ent. had to make a public statement saying that the two had formed a friendship behind the scenes, and it was a harmless tease.

“Oh no, please. By all means... continue.”

"What was that noise?"

REPLACED: “I’m pretty sure your mom hates me.”

"All I wanted was a happy ending."

Aria, giving serious advice: You know, Jisung, when you become an adult people are going to tell you to go buy things. Dangerous things, like alcohol and drugs and stuff. Don’t do that. Don’t waste your money. You know what else you can buy when you’re 18? Swords. Buy a sword, a big ass sword. And just. Be superior because now you have a sword and no one else does. 

Jisung, mildly terrified: Noona... do you want a sword?

[junicai]

So I noticed some of the members call Aria ‘baby’. How did it start and what was her reaction to being called baby? Was it awkward at first or was it just something that naturally started and now the members just call her that?

Also I really liked ridin’ n rollin’❤️❤️❤️ Dream cares so much for each other😩❤️

Actually, originally Aria was the one to call the members baby! She started doing it as she grew to be more comfortable around the members; she’d tease them and say things like “awh, poor baby” in a joking manner. 

Over time it just became something that the members used to comfort her? Aria doesn’t respond well to a lot of nicknames; sweetheart, for example holds a lot of negative connotations because that’s what her mother calls her most of the time. 

So, although the members did try to avoid using ‘baby’ directly for a while - they didn’t want Aria to feel like they were belittling her - over time they realized that it’s a very good tactic to get her to calm down or to offer her comfort.

She isn’t called ‘baby’ that often; only when she’s emotionally or physically hurt and the members try to combat that with the unspoken reminder that she has her family here, with them, and that she’s always going to have a place with them; because she’s their baby, so to speak.

To czennies, it’s a cute nickname that gets Aria to flush pink when it’s used out of an emotional context, but there’s a lot of emotional depth that Aria carries associated with the name.

Mark: Aria what are you doing?

"a soulmate?

"a soulmate is, that person that fits so perfectly into your life it makes you wonder why they weren't there in the first place. someone who comes along and fills up the gaps you didn't even know you had, let alone needed to fill and they do it so suddenly and so quietly that, all in a moment you realize that you really couldn't live without them.

"a soulmate isn't someone that's perfect, they're not exempt from the cracks and the fumbles that come with being human - but a soulmate is someone that invites your to fix your own. they don't make you better, they make you want to be better. so much so, that sometimes it hurts.

"a soulmate is someone that turns up the exposure on life; makes daily things so bright that when they're gone it's like the cloudiest day you can imagine, dialed down to zero. they give you a little ball of sunshine to carry in your hand, or your pocket.

"a soulmate is the person who believed in you, when no one else did. when no one else could; because you had no place where you did, you didn't have the capabilities that you needed. a soulmate is the person who stands beside you in those moments, who, yes, wipes your tears and holds you through the ugly emotions that rip your chest apart but: they push you to stand up and to push yourself past the limits you'd set in your mind.

"a soulmate is like your best friend, conscience and favourite idiot.

"because if they are that to you, then aren't you that to them?"

what’s aria like during western interviews with 127?

aria tends to have a lot of the talking shared between herself, mark and johnny - just because she's confident in english and it's picked up easier

she's a lot less shy with western interviews than she is in korean interviews; partly because of the language switch but also because she knows she has a responsibility to the other members to cover for them while they're struggling to understand

aria tries to give each member as much screen time as possible, making sure that no one gets talked over and if necessary - whispering in their ear if they need help

the only thing aria doesn't like about western promotions is that western interviewers still see her as a "novelty" act because they're not used to the idea of a girl in an otherwise all male group. korean presenters are more used to the idea, and their questions to aria pertain moreso to her skills as opposed to western media which has a tendency to ask,, more personal questions
