i am 42 years old & enhypen is my most listened group for the second year in a row. i do agree that hybe makes bland, super generic music but i vibe with it somehow.
i remain an SM stan at heart, i am just tired of the constant messiness & heartbreak. they have too many artists, their ability to schedule anything keeps getting worse & every release feels rushed & cheap.
i'm not denying that they have some good music, i have a few of their bsides saved, and it just depends on personal taste whether or not you like to listen to generic pop. the thing about hybe's blandness is that it does attract people, just by the basis of not being overtly sonically offensive in some way. it's a strategy that works.
i would disagree with you about all their releases being rushed and cheap however. there have been a few that have had less care put into them than i would have expected, but there's been a LOT of releases, especially from senior artists, that have had very high production value. changmin has said that he was working on devil for almost a year, and he got two full mvs, suho was sitting on grey suit for quite a while and also got two full mvs. invu, gasoline, and dice all had very high production value, as well as all three red velvet cbs. chen's last scene mv has park hae soo in it, minho's trailers have been excellent and we know that it's a full cinematic mv, which is unusual for an sm mv. have some of the nct releases been confusing and poorly timed? absolutely, but it's a stretch to say that everything the company has put out this year has been lower quality.

Their s/o is a songwriter
Pairing: idol Ot8!skz × songwriter Gn!reader (individually)
Genre: fluff, headcanon, idol!au
Request: so what if skz finding out their partner is a song writer / composer? bonus points if the skz members also found out that they wrote their favourite song :>
Warnings: reader is implied to write for Kpop most of the time, not proofread.
A/n: as a songwriter, I appreciate this request a whole lot lmao. Thank you for requesting, I hope you like it!
Bang Chan
Honestly, I think this is something he would find out before dating you
Man knows everyone in the whole entertainment industry
Ofc he knows who you are
If anything, the way you both got to know each other more was through working together to make a stray kids song
Overall, I think he would love to have a partner in the industry
Even if you never get to be on stage
Simply because you understand him more than other people do
You know how music is essential and demanding at the same time
Your job probably makes him feel more connected to you
He likes to joke that you're the newest member of 3Racha
Always sends you songs he made your you to listen
And wants you to do the same
You can send him an audio at 1AM and bro will listen to it right away, ready to give you his opinion and advice (and praise)
Lee Know
Poor stray kids and stay
They will be listening to the songs you worked on nonstop
He just happens to be your biggest supporter 🤷🏻♀️
Has a whole 10 hours playlist with all of your work
Knows every lyric even if they aren't Korean
And he also enjoys dancing to it very much
Even if the song doesn't have a choreo, he likes to make up his own by listening to what you did
Probably invented a few trends with your songs because of it lmao
He also listens to it a lot when he's on tour
Even if it's not your voice that he's listening to, it's still you somewhat
He just wants to feel close to you
Asks you to sing or play the songs you produced
Might or might not have a small compilation of audios of you singing when he's way too homesick
(And if you wrote his favourite song, he would definitely have an audio of you singing it)
Changbin
Sees you as a very big inspiration
The amount of times he listened to one of your songs so he could get out of creative block is crazy
If anything, he probably already saw you as a role model before even getting to personally know you
Imagine the seo changbin fan boying you
If you write for other K-pop groups/soloists, he's probably trying to make references of what you wrote in his own rap
Fans always think he's talking about a certain idol or something but he really is just trying to include you in his work😭
And he would beg to have at least one stray kids song cowrote by you
Like literally begging
He needs to have one small Collab with you at least once
And will get a little pouty every time you can't work with skz because you're with another group at the moment
Hyunjin
Loves to have songwriting dates with you
Usually releases the songs you both write (with your permission ofc) as a skz-recorder
Stays are starting to wonder who is that composer/songwriter who is behind every single song Hyunjin is in lmao
I remember he said that one of his goals for 2024 was to produce more
So he will 100% seek your advice and even ask for some particular lessons at times
And he is always a little bit shy when he's about to show you what he's been working on
Because he feels like you are THE songwriter
And you're also his partner so like
Your opinion is a very big deal
And he's also so excited when you let him listen to a preview of your newest work
Is always awestruck
(Any song of yours would be his favourite lmao, and the best part of it is that he means it)
Han
He would LOVE to have a partner in the industry
Or just connected to art somehow, even if it's just a hobbie
I mean, look at his lyrics
Bro inhales and exhales art
The fact that you understand this side of him and even share this interest is so what he needed
He's also very very helpful when you need to write songs
I see late night dates in the studio
Even when any of you is far away for whatever reason
It can be 2am in Korea, he will be on his phone more than willing to listen to you brainstorm
Brainstorming with Han would be very fun overall lmao
It's either going to be the most sentimental thing to ever exist or it's going to be complete nonsense lmao
Oh and he would also make a lot of references to things you wrote
And would be so so so so happy if you ever made a reference to a work of his
Felix
I remember he said once that if he wasn't an idol, he would like to be a professional songwriter
So the fact that YOU are a songwriter/producer
He kinda loves you a little bit too much
One thing he loves is to understand your thought process
If you ever let him see your notes,he will try his best to understand every little thing
Even if it's only words with no correlation all over the page
He loves to know how your mind works
And he wants to know where the inspiration comes from!
(If it's from him he will never shut up about it)
Loves to know the stories behind each one of your works
He feels like he gets to know you a little more every time he listens to something that is yours
Is always covering one of your songs on lives
Seungmin
Literally everything you could've asked for, both in the dating aspects and in professional aspects
He makes sure you never overwork but will never restrain you from your work
Like, he knows that sometimes the inspiration comes at 2AM. He won't shut off your notebook, he'll be up with you and guarantee you don't stress
And he's your most honest critic
If you need help with rhymes, structure, chords or whatever, he is there
(After dating him you rarely browse anything at Google anymore, seungmin always understands the specific vibes you want)
And if you are a songwriter/ composer who doesn't know how to sing (that's me criticising myself) he always volunteers to make the demo for your songs
As I said, everything you could've ever asked for in a partner and coworker
I.N
Now this one
The moment he discovered he was begging to see some of your work
It's crazy how many of your songs were included in the playlist he has of songs that remind him of you😭
Talk about soulmates
I also believe that he would love to help you with songs
Give him one chance and this man is already with a notebook open trying to come up with the best verse ever
But he really likes to hear you brainstorm as well
Just you in your comfort zone really makes him admire you
And he loves how he can feel closer to you
Just reading the lyrics you wrote ou listening to the beat you produced makes him feel like he is meeting you for the first time again
Always having a new impression of you
Will also sing any demos you want him to!
Masterlist | you'll probably like: if skz wrote a song for you
Reblogs and feedback are always appreciated!

Damm, why is NCT Dream's SOS song so slutty. Why am I shocked. This is the kind of attitude I expect from Taeyong's hoes in NCT U. I didn't think Dream had this in them. Why didn't anyone tell me. I had to figure this out on my own? Wandered right into that web like a naive innocent person and emerged very shocked and confused.

⊹˳⁺ ⠀⠀⠀ YOU’RE WATCHING : WHO IS HERO? THE STORY OF BETRAYAL, FEATURING THE CULPRIT : PDX101 !
ib. : midnight theories on yt !
final word count : 1.4k
warning(s) : none as far as i know, but do lmk if you find some !
𓂃 ⠀⠀⠀ INTRO !
❝ everyone remembers the trainwreck of a survival show, aka the fourth and last season of the franchise, PRODUCE X 101. and just like that, everyone should know the story about the fan’s favourite, HERO, who reached far in the show and continues to do so as a re-branded soloist. you better buckle up and grab the popcorn because this will be a long story. ❞
𓂃 ⠀⠀⠀ THE HISTORY OF PRODUCE 101 !
❝ for those kpop fans that haven’t heard about the PRODUCE 101 franchise ( which i’m still wondering because everyone knows about it at this point ), the franchise started back in 2016 as a female survival show, where one hundred and one female trainees ( hence the “one-oh-one” in the show’s name ) battled against each other for one of the eleven available spots in a girl group that would debut following the last episode of the show. the trainees would do challenges in each episode, showcasing their talents and abilities. by the end of each episode, a certain amount of trainees would pass into the next round, while others would simply be kicked out. terrible to be in that position of each episode, i know, but something about this show intrigued people. oh, and before i forget, the viewers get to decide which of the trainees would go forward in the show, despite it having judges for each aspect ( singing, rapping and dancing ), but before you gasp, remember that fact for later.
as the years went by, so did the show's seasons, up until 2019, when this video’s point begins too. for some reason, the fourth season was named PRODUCE X 101, and it was for the male trainees to compete against each other while the creators of it could sit back and watch it all go down. the show has many controversies, but for now, we’ll focus on only one, or at least try to.
the produce franchise was notorious for debuting strong project groups like I.O.I, WANNA ONE and IZ*ONE, so people expected the same for fourth season winners X1, only in their case, everything ended in shambles only a couple of months later. X1 was supposed to promote as a group for two and a half years just like the other three groups, yet they only managed to release one album ( the debut album ) called EMERGENCY: QUANTUM LEAP. debuting in august 2019, the group promoted the title track FLASH as much as possible, but with the allegations their creator show received, they disbanded the following year in january. what a kick to 2020, am i right? now i’m not saying it’s mnet’s fault, but i am one hundred per cent saying precisely that because in july of 2019 ( before x1 even had a chance to breathe as a group ), an investigation started due to suspicion of voting manipulations. ❞
𓂃 ⠀⠀⠀ THE VOTING MANIPULATION SCANDAL(?) !
❝ remember when i said that you need to recall that everything was decided by the public? well, here’s where it all comes together. as mnet explained in the first season, everything was selected by the fans, from the ranks to the final lineup that would happily debut. turns out that mnet lied and wanted to change the trainees’ positions as they wished to, which was quite dumb of them because they couldn’t hide it well enough and outed themselves. of course, the culprits were arrested, but too late, in my opinion. after the scandal broke out, X1 could do nothing but ( not so ) silently disband, which angered fans because, unlike them, IZ*ONE continued promotions as if nothing had happened. if you asked me personally, it was fucked up from the company’s side to abandon ��X1 and only focus on their sister group, but that’s another story we’re not concentrating on right now.
i think i speak for everyone when i say that the fourth season was the last straw because it’s when the manipulated ranks started to show. just by releasing the total number of votes following the end of the final episode of PRODUCE X 101, fans began noticing inconsistencies for each trainee featured. every contestant's final vote was a multiple of 7,494.442, which, if divided by the remaining trainees, is impossible because of how similar the number was, and it didn’t mathematically vary from each contestant. it was on december 5th when it was confirmed that the votes for IZ*ONE and X1 ( and possibly I.O.I and WANNA ONE ) were manipulated, making this worse for the fans supporting them from the start.
to make things worse, november 18, 2020, was when the court released a list of trainees that were fucked up by the manipulations, our dear HERO being one of them. ❞
𓂃 ⠀⠀⠀ WHO IS HERO AND WHY IS HE IMPORTANT ?
❝ so, after all, everyone must wonder WHO THE FUCK IS HERO, why and how is he included in this video. well, you will know if you wait just a few seconds.
HERO, full name KWON EUIWOONG, was one of the most known contestants of the PRODUCE 101 franchise. not much is known about his past; he did mention that he didn’t plan on becoming an idol at first but was later encouraged by his friend to try. his final rank was SEVEN in the last episode, and throughout the show, his levels were consistently high and never got under fifth place. need i remind you that EUIWOONG has been the fans’ favourite from the start due to his calm nature and talent in singing and dancing ( i would say in rapping, too, but he admitted he felt insecure in that aspect back then ). so imagine, to fans’ shock, when he was called onto the podium as the group's SEVENTH member instead of a higher number.
despite that, fans supported him along with the group, which some would say was a mistake due to the d-word ( disbandment ) of X1. like avatar aang, he vanished from the public and left everyone in shambles. he successfully avoided cameras and dispatch for a year and a few months, which didn’t go well on social media. back then, when his fans were unnamed ( now called ODDITIES ), they would boycott the company and demand to know what was going on with their idol. and as usual, boycotts never worked for companies like MIGHTY DEVIL and GLASSHOUSE; it went nowhere, and their questions weren’t answered. twitter almost went up in flames, and everyone was seen posting the same sentence over and over again: WHO KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE LAST TIME WE HEAR OF X1 AND HERO FOR A WHILE ( spoiler alert: everyone knew, they just didn’t want to admit it ).
when the list came out, fans could see KWON EUIWOONG being mentioned in it, showing that he was initially supposed to be in SECOND place and not SEVENTH like it was established in the end. pissed and thirsty for revenge, his fans refused to support their sister group, IZ*ONE and flooded the mnet’s comment section with negative words and threats. this, of course, went almost unnoticed by other fandoms, but it was mentioned a couple of times when talking about the whole shitshow.
i’m mentioning only HERO in this video because, unlike other trainees whose ranks went from low to high, EUIWOONG’s went the other way around, which is the first time that happened, from my knowledge. not only that, but everyone knew he was too good for SEVENTH place, with his talents and being named the ACE OF X1, but no one had proof of it until the ranks were released. ❞
𓂃 ⠀⠀⠀ WHERE IS HERO AND WHAT IS HE DOING NOW ?
❝ the hiatus and disappearance of HERO was hurtful to his fans and other idols. his previous members would say they missed him and wish to see him perform again, indicating he wasn’t interacting with them in private. for some time, i thought that was it for EUIWOONG’s career and was ready to give up when all of a sudden, it was like a blessing from the angels. the july of 2021 started terrifically for us because MIGHTY DEVIL finally had the balls to release the news about HERO.
you might be wondering how did the company announce his return? well, they technically didn’t; they released his debut single one day and went, ‘oh, here he is lol’. it’s badass, in my opinion, because there wasn’t any pity shown, just a short and straightforward debut single ( which received high praises and 30m views in the first twenty-four hours, might i add ), bringing attention to him and waking up his old fans.
i know that he just debuted ( again ), and i’m posting this way too early ( and on his birthday, happy birthday, hero! ), but i am sure that he will be okay and be able to showcase his abilities as best as he can. he’s still the ace, but this time not only of X1 but the whole industry, and he can only go up from here.
interested in his debut single? check it out in the description, and don’t forget to stream, support and love our hero as much as possible. ❞

REO MIKAGE is boyfriend material! 🌿
content. headcanons about my babe reo as a boyfriend. that’s it. he’s fucking adorable and i refuse to say otherwise.
author’s note. i couldn’t find much bllk content so i decided to do it myself.
reo is absolutely one of the best boyfriends in the world, also if his behaviour at first could seem quite exaggerated.
understand him: he’s always had whatever he asked (and didn’t ask for), so dealing with new emotions that no one has ever taught him how to manage can be tricky.
reo’s love language is giving gifts. he claims that he’s not good at it, but after a couple of months into your relationship, he is capable of knowing what you would like to receive for your birthday, for christmas and other celebrations.
how has he become that good? this boy loves you to the point that you could talk about your interests for hours and he would listen everything you’d have to say. scientists have discovered a new species of goldfish and you want to adopt one of them? he’ll listen. your favourite kpop group has released the best album of the century? he’ll become their stan.
he loves looking at your reaction when you open one of his gifts. seeing you smiling is his favourite thing.
reo once invited you over to play football with him and nagi. they taught you some cool and easy tricks to do, then nagi wanted to go inside and play mario kart.
he’s the type of boyfriend who will whisper “i love you so much” while you’re sleeping.
reo is a big fan of hugs. hugging you is the best part of the day: no matter if you’re small, skinny, chubby, taller than him etc., he loves you no matter what.
(he is the small spoon but shh, don’t tell anyone)
absolutely adores when you massage his scalp. it soothes him and, trust me, he’ll fall asleep in seconds if you do it when he’s tired.
gets excited when he sees you in the stands during one of his matches. having someone that roots for him brightens his day.
reo is basically boyfriend material, that’s it, those are my headcanons.
