On the 6th of April, thirteen years ago, KARA released their third Japanese single, "Jet Coaster Love".
The title track is a catchy, upbeat track with elements of pop and electronic dance music. The lyrics depict a playful and flirtatious narrative, likening the experience of falling in love to the precision and excitement of riding a "jet (roller) coaster".
hi ya’ll ! i’m bloom , and i’m super excited to be here ! i’m twenty five , reside in the eastern tz , and as for my pronouns i use both she / her and they / them , so please feel free to use either or both interchangeably . yeonghwa is a muse that i have on my indie but i think putting him into a group setting would be fun ( because he’s honestly a mess in a half ) . i’m starting this intro at literally midnight fifty so i might not get to khai’s until tomorrow , but i’m looking forward to plotting with everyone !
kim mingyu . he / him . cis man . spotted at the met steps , yeonghwa park , most likely listening to somebody by keshi with their airpods pro . the twenty seven year old gained quite a reputation , known to be -bellicose yet +alluring to anyone who knows them . you’ll easily spot them when you hear about a blacked out motorcade coming to pick you up from private airport tarmac , never staying long enough for you to learn his name , a perfectly whitened cheshire grin taking over your features as you get what you want , and late nights and early mornings in the city searching for something to keep you going followed by bitter peach by tom ford . latest nepoupdates article talks about finally moving on ? yeonghwa park uses alleged love affair to mourn the end of his relationship , but i guess any repiuation is good reputation .
the story of the park family dates back generations , but there’s not enough time to talk about everyone . the park family is the kind of family that most would assume don’t exist outside of the fantasy of film and television , but they’re very real . led by his grandfather , chan - woo is the founder of hyunsung , one of the largest conglomerates in south korea . under hyunsung comes a number of subsidiaries in the industries of food , automotives , real estate , construction , and more . chan - woo and his wife , bo - eum , had four children together . by luck , one of those children was yeonghwa’s father .
yo - han was the third child of four , with one sister and two brothers making up the rest of the park children . with a father like chan - woo , each of the children were expected to be nothing but the best . they had to attend the best school , bring home the highest grade— they had to be on top , always . yo - han learned from a young age that he had to appease their father in the best way he knew how , so while his siblings constantly butted heads with their father , yo - han kept his head down . he eventually went on to join the law department at the prestigious seoul national university , which is also where he met his future wife , min - ju .
it’s a brand new world to be married into the park family , but min - ju is able to hold her own . after a multi - million dollar wedding and luxurious honeymoon , the couple begin to work for hyunsung . yo - han’s father tasked him with leading the real estate development sector of the company , and he did well . during that time , the couple began to have children of their own : their first son kwang - ho , a daughter named sol - ji , their second son named jin - gyu , their second daughter named yu - ri , and their last son yeong - hwa . much like his father , yo - han expected for his children to well and to be the best .
for yeonghwa , he always managed to butt heads with his father . being the youngest , most expected for him to be spoiled treated differently than his siblings , but that was never the case . yeonghwa was always the son who had something snarky to say , who rolled his eyes when his father came up with some new rule , but surprisingly he had a close relationship with his grandfather . yeonghwa’s family moved to new york with the extension of the real estate division when he was nine , and went on to attend the best schools in new york .
yeonghwa went on to attend columbia university , where he double majored in financial economics and political science . yeonghwa , who had the expectation to someday work for the family company , never would have guessed he’d manage to go viral on instagram when he was spotted in the background of a video while attending a party in a classic ‘ help me find this guy ’ scenario . to learn that he was a part of such a wealthy family aided in the sudden rise of his popularity , which also pushed him into the world of paparazzi , fame , and socialites .
headcanons.
yeonghwa unfortunately knows that he’s attractive and idk if that’s a good thing MJCXHVBCX . he’s not an asshole about it but he’s just a handful .
he still butts heads with his dad , especially since his father wants him to work for hyunsung . he does want to , but he also wants to be able to enjoy his twenties unlike his father . somehow , his grandfather is supportive of yeonghwa’s choices , despite putting the same pressures on yeonghwa’s father .
he doesn’t live with the family anymore , instead he moved out and lives comfortably in a fancy condo in manhattan . yeonghwa can drive but he doesn’t want to , so he’s often driven around new york in a blacked out bentley bentayga .
i have more but my brain isn’t working right now MKVCNXC .
wanted connections.
i will burst into flames for the relationship that relates back into his headline ! he was in a committed relationship with his ex - boyfriend , and it was one that lasted for a couple of years . they could have attended columbia together or they met at literally any point , but there’s no real malice between them after their break up ( except that yeonghwa may still have feelings for him ) .
a best friend ! and they’re quite literally the best of friends , where they’re super close and have a lot of fun together .
give me enemies or give me death ! just two people who do not get along at all and spend most of their time around each other arguing . there could literally be any reason for them to dislike each other i just want HATE .
hook ups hehe . after the end of his relationship ( which he took very hard ) yeonghwa kind of fills the void by hooking up with anyone . he never stays the night and he most likely won’t even give you his name , but he’s down to have some fun .
a publicity partner ? not so much a pr relationship , but just someone that knows this chaotic world and whenever they’re together it gets the press talking . they will attend events together , and sometimes they’ll have fun with it by faking public arguments or fueling romance rumors .
i’m down to have yeonghwa fill any plots you’d like to do as well , but tysm for reading this monstrosity of an intro and i look forward to plotting with everyone !
