[COVER STORY] Never Ending Story: Actor Seo Eunkwang

As the leader of an idol group, as a vocalist who gets recognition, as a 10-year musical actor, Seo Eunkwang never treats any dream recklessly and shines today.

editor: Son Jeongeun; photographer: Kim Taewoo; stylist: Park Hyejeong, Jeon Sohyeon; Hair: Taehyeon (Mijangwon by Taehyeon); makeup: Hana (Mijangwon by Taehyeon)

In the defining number 'A Musical' from musical "Something Rotten," famous musical numbers are wittily melded together. You may wonder why we're bringing up a past work, but the start of this story was 2 years ago. Back then, in a video interview with Theatre Plus, we asked if there was a musical parodied in that number that Seo Eunkwang would want to participate in, and without hesitation he answered "Jesus Christ Superstar." "It would be so great if I could do that musical with Michael (Lee)," he said and in two years that has become reality.

The musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" was created fifty years ago by the musical world's virtuoso composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice. It interprets the story of the seven days before the death of Jesus from an unconventional perspective, and became a topic as it stood at the center of several controversies. It was a work so ahead of its time that even now, a long time later, you can still feel how unconventional it is. One wonders what kind of message it will throw to the audiences of 2022. We asked Seo Eunkwang, playing the role of Judas, to tell us about this work which is being performed again in Korea after 7 years.

You mentioned that your dream work was "Jesus Christ Superstar" in a number of interviews. How does it feel to have that dream come true?

Like I've said, this is one of the works I wanted to try doing the most, so it makes me want to do a really good job. While I've been doing musicals, I think this is the first one that's made me feel this much pressure. And the thing that adds even more pressure is that this is the 50th anniversary performance. It's even the first time it's been performed (in Korea) in 7 years. Since I know that so many people have so much interest, I'm working very hard to prepare. It's such an honor to be able to participate. I'm very happy.

You mentioned that your dream role was Jesus, but this time you ended up with the role of Judas.

I wondered what kind of feeling it would be to stand onstage as Jesus, and that kind of expectation led me to say I wanted to play Jesus. I'm still not good enough for that role, so I think I'll have to build up more years of experience first. And Judas is very impressive and has a lot of charm, so I'm really into him. The Judas numbers are very intense, so on one hand it's very difficult.

Like you said, this work has a reputation for having very difficult musical numbers. You're famous yourself for being good at singing, but it must feel very different to be engaged in this work.

Since the Judas numbers "Heaven on their Minds" and "Superstar" are so famous, a lot of people probably know them, but as I've actually been starting work on the show, there are also a lot of other difficult songs. I was shocked the first time I started practicing. The number "Judas' Death" which he sings just before dying is incredible. And besides that all the other songs are hard, too. Three or four songs are in the range of the top of the second octave, even playing into the third octave, which is just ridiculous for a male role. It makes me wonder what the composer was thinking when he composed them.

And also all the different Judas actors have interpreted the songs in their own different ways.

That's why practice was so hard. The work itself is very free. The melody line is set, but everyone has sung it with their own style. So after absorbing the sheet music, changing it to fit my own style was really extremely hard. It was my first time doing such a free work, so it was very new for me.

Recently on a livestream you showed yourself practicing "Heaven on their Minds." It was like getting a taste of Seo Eunkwang's Judas.

Now I'd like to delete the video. At the time, after practicing a few songs including Western ones, I started livestreaming because I wanted to show that, but I really regret showing this song in advance. Since I was just practicing, there were a lot of parts that were lacking. It's a relief that the fans like it, but next time I'll have to be more thorough.

Even though it was practice, that in itself makes you feel like it was lacking, I guess.

When singing, I want to show a perfect side of myself. Compared to the past, I've let go a lot. When I was young, I felt that way strongly, but lately I've thought that I wanted to show my growth through even the imperfect side of myself. That's why I showed myself practicing, but afterwards as time has gone on I've felt regretful about it. "I could have done it better," I think.

There are a lot of videos where your fellow BTOB member and musical theater actor Lee Changsub sings the number "Gethsemane." It makes me wonder if the two of you might do this work together someday.

We tend to sing for fun, and we both really like that song. If someday Changsub could play Judas and I could play Jesus and we could stand on stage together, that would be a dream come true. Wow, just imagining it is amazing.

Judas is a person who's remembered as a betrayer. But in this work, he's drawn as a revolutionary, which became a hot topic.

I also only knew Judas as a betrayer. But while preparing for this work, the other day I asked my mom while we were eating. My mom is an elder and is very devout. I asked, "What do you think about Judas?" and what she told me is very similar to how I'm interpreting Judas now. Most people think of him as a betrayer, but how much must he have worried and thought over his decision up until he sold Jesus out, and what kinds of thoughts must he have had when he heard Jesus predict that he would betray him. She told me that must not have been an easy decision, and that put part of my mind at ease. I thought that I could express Judas as much as I wanted and the people watching would fully accept that. I had a lot of worries, but thanks to that I became a bit freer.

What kinds of things were you worrying about?

The hardest part was that the character of Judas isn't explained very well. In the Bible, he's mostly portrayed as a traitor, so most of the audience will come in with only that background for him. You can't help but come in with those biases. But within this work, rather than being a betrayer, he loves Jesus so much and reveals his own beliefs so strongly, and those beliefs are so clear. So my homework was to portray that well. Also my own image tends to be strongly of someone very bright and happy, on top of my build being on the small side, so I worried about how best to capture the character in order to explain him well.

In the role of Jesus, actors Michael Lee and Im Taegyeong have returned. What is the difference between the two Jesuses?

We're still in the practice stage, but I feel like Michael Lee sunbaenim's Jesus feels more like a friend. He mentioned that this season he wanted to show a more human side. So when we practice, I feel those parts and there's a closeness to it. I think Im Taegyeong sunbaenim's Jesus feels a little more divine. Rather than a friend, he feels like a teacher or a father.

It's been 50 years since this work was shown to the world for the first time. Yet the modifier of "unconventional" always seems to follow it even now.

Actually, I had never seen this musical before, myself. It's being performed in Korea for the first time in 7 years, and there aren't a lot of videos. I had only heard of it indirectly, and the reviews of audiences who saw it in the past were quite cutting. People say it's very serious and can be very polarizing, and due to the fact that it's all sung-through people could get bored, and as a rock musical the songs can be unfamiliar. I was also very nervous when practices started, but everything was a lot more fun than I expected.

In particular, I think there are a lot of reviews that say it can be polarizing.

I saw a lot of those reviews, too. But when it actually came down to doing it, it was very fun. Is that because I'm on the "liking it" side of the polarizing divide? (laughs)

Then please appeal to the audiences and tell them why you ended up liking it.

First of all, the development is very clear so the storyline progresses well on its own. The musical numbers are very convincing, as well. Seeing Jesus' more human side is very fresh and shocking, so it's not boring and has a lot of new charm to it. At first when people I knew told me they were going to see this musical, I, too, responded by saying "It's so polarizing, and it can be unfamiliar because it's sung-through." But now I say "Guys, this is so fun! You can expect good things from it," to people. It's a work that's snappy and full of charm.

Have you ever felt, like your character, that you are being led by a fate you can't refuse?

With my personality, I tend to accept things rather than try to refuse them. Even when I'm exhausted, I tend to think that if I can just get through this time then things will get better later. So I don't think I've had very many times when I feel like things are so hard that I break down. I live happily and enjoyably. I like living.

Just because you say you're happy, I'm sure you've still had hard times. How do you get through those times?

Of course I have hard times, too. When that happens, I try to work things out in a good direction, and I think that someday things will get better.

You must have what they call a good mentality about things.

I do think that I do. I've never doubted it.

This year BTOB reached their 10th anniversary. And you're also in your tenth year of doing musicals.

My debut in the group and my debut in musicals were just about a year apart. I've been doing musicals since I was 23, and back then there were a lot of things that were hard. Because I was young and an idol, I got a lot of various attention, and because of that I felt a lot of pressure to do a better job. Now I'm finally in the hyung line! [Someone with relatively more experience who is relatively older.] As I've been consistently working, now there are more people junior to me, so I'm a lot more comfortable now. I've always been the style to be less reserved with people younger than me. And now that I can work again with actors and staff I've already worked with, the practice room has also become more comfortable and I feel like I can try doing more new things.

When you look back, what is the most memorable period for you?

The thing that comes to mind the most is the practice room for my first musical, "Monte Cristo." I remember being so nervous I was shaking like a leaf. Back then I played Albert and Im Taegyeong sunbaenim played the Monte Cristo role with me, so I was so happy to see him again this time. It had been a long time, but I was so thankful that he greeted me so happily.

You've been consistently appearing on the musical stage. What kinds of charms do musicals have that they keep leading you to the stage?

I think the best thing is that through a musical work, you can live as various different people. I don't think I could really perceive it clearly until now, but this time thanks to this work I could strongly feel it. I thought "Wow, the works I've done up until now were really amazing." The thing that played the greatest part in leading me to realize that was Director Hong Seunghui, who is directing this time. The director always tells me to do things the way I want to, and asks me how I feel about each scene. The director tells me to follow my emotions and move the way I feel. I think I was able to immerse myself more in the role when I practiced because I was able to fully become Judas. So with this musical, I think I felt the good points of musicals even more.

So when you approach your character, what point do you start from?

Of course with each character you have to show a different side of yourself, but at first I work hard to find things that go well with me. When I look at myself, the nice way of saying it is that I have a strong identity, and the not-so-nice way of saying it is that I am a person who sticks out a lot. Because Seo Eunkwang is that kind of person, I think that if I only try to match things generally without melding more thoroughly, then I can't blend with the character well. So I try to find and bring out the most Seo Eunkwang-like parts of myself.

So then of the characters you've played so far, who was the most Seo Eunkwang-like one?

The character who fit me best was Nick Bottom from "Something Rotten." I barely had to add anything. I didn't need to immerse myself, he was just me so it was very easy. However, the tap dancing and other dancing, as well as the large amount of lines I had to memorize did make things harder, but when I think of the character it was so much fun. I think it might have been the only work I've done that was that comfortable for me.

With this work, you've achieved a dream of yours. What's your next goal?

I want to try something really shocking. Like Lola in "Kinky Boots."

You always have precise goals. And it seems like your goals are designed to challenge yourself.

I think you should always make goals for yourself. You need to have goals in order to prepare thoroughly and make progress. It's not just for musicals, I can only grow as a vocalist and singer when I make goals for myself, as well. And I always like a challenge. That's more fun, and I think I'm more proud of the result, as well.

Is that the reason that you appear on so many singing competition shows, too?

I went on a lot of them for that reason, but to tell the truth because of that I've been considering things a lot. I feel like I've been showing myself too much lately, and now maybe it's time to take a break for a bit. I asked my vocal teacher about these worries, but my teacher said "Eunkwang, you need to do these in order to grow." A person like me has to make goals and run towards them, as my teacher also knows. In order to even reach the general ballpark, I have to set clear goals and move towards them.

You're the kind of person who whips yourself into shape, I guess.

That's right, that's how I live. That can be my driving force. When I hear compliments, it feels nice, but it doesn't really help me to improve. So I also seek out negative comments. It lets me know what I need to work on. If it's not a helpful comment, I do pass it by, but for some negative comments I feel like if I can take them in, then I can make it so that I won't hear those comments anymore. I try to use them in a positive direction. When I do musicals, I look for a lot of audience reviews. I really look at everything. Be careful, everyone. (laughs)

You'll reach your 10th year anniversary of being a musical actor next year. What kind of musical actor do you want to be remembered as to audiences?

I want to be a truthful actor. An actor whose sincerity can be felt on every stage. And I want to continue to show my growth in the future. Of course I will continue to work hard and do my best. Since I'll continue to stand on stage and pour my heart into it, please continue to support me. And I'd like it if a lot of people could get good energy from me. As someone who is living through this time, I want to show that I'm living my life to the fullest. Let's all live the best we can.

So I know you’re not a le sserafim fan, but apparently botb minhyuk did a cover of it with clothes that matched the concept too and I’m dead. He should just become le sserafim now because he absolutely crushed it. Hopefully the link copies otherwise I’m sure it is viral by now:

https://twitter.com/reallyrevil/status/1609551507384590337?s=61&t=lVaC-WBD7oaMftNRHMI1aA

you say that like i haven't seen every version of this from every fancam angle....who do you take me for!!!! honestly it should be a crime for this choreo to be done by twiggy girls, this choreo is meant for buff ppl and specifically minhyuk. minhyuk should be the only person doing this choreo.

[shinwhoohoo]

With B.A.P Zelo participating in the Mnet new survival show, what do you think about old idols participating in that kind of shows? Maybe thinking that WM could send B1A4 to a show like that, hoping to have a rise in popularity.

lol so if anyone has followed me through the years, it wouldn't be as much as a surprise but I was actually a pretty big B.A.P fan when they debuted, really up until the Himchan controversy broke. Though I still do minimally follow the other members. All that to say, I'm aware of Zelo's involvement in Artistock Game and I truly hope he does well!!

But anyways, I do think it's a bit of a double edged sword. On one hand, we did see the benefits of '2nd/2.5 gen' idols going on survival shows a la Nu'est during Produce 101, and BtoB on Kingdom. But on the other hand, I think you really are facing the more likely odds of it just being a flash in the pan kinda momentum, with no real lasting or true resurgence in fans or popularity. Plus, I think the majority of idols of that time and age would likely just not have the interest to go back to that mindset of 'survival' mode that these kind of shows feed off of.

If anything, I'd be pretty disgruntled tbh if WM sent bipo on some kind of survival show, unless I knew for sure it was what they wanted to do (which I don't think it is). I think they're just past that point where doing something like that would even remotely interest them. If I saw that, I'd figure things were really, really bad lol.

You started up your computer and the stream, many viewers starting pouring in, typing in the chat how much they've missed you.

“ i missed you guys too! I've been busy these days, so let's do something we haven't done in a while, okay? ”

You smiled at the camera, then looked at what you wanted to do for the stream. You happily told the chat what you were gonna do today.

“ dancing stream today guys! it's been so long, but I've been getting better at my moves now! ”

You chuckled as the chat starting spamming some lmao's, help's, i cant breathe's and so on, along with a few people who were excited to see you!

As he waited for his solo shooting, he came across a stream, one that caught his interest. He clicked on it and looked at the way you danced.

It was smooth. Extremely smooth. He was invested. He adjusted in his seat to properly look at his phone.

You were dancing to the song 'Wind and Wish' by BTOB, which you thought had an easy enough choreography to start with.

--

It's been a month since Minho had been watching you, and realized that you only stream every 2 weeks, which he thought was too long, but he couldn't complain.

Everytime you streamed, he'd go on an alt account and donate you a few hundred dollars, but he wanted to keep his identity hidden.

He also usually asks you to do a cute pose in his donations so he and others can screenshot it to use as a profile picture.

And, guess what? On another app which he uses to text the members privately, his profile picture is you! Which some of the members thought was weird, but he didn't care.

Mayfly and Their Larvae Part 1

BtoB learns some things about their dongsaengs

I'm only a little sorry for the title. Anyway, this chapter is really just set up. I don't know how long this is going to be, but here's part one

The members of BtoB were currently gathered in one of the conference rooms at the Cube Entertainment, in the middle of a group writing session. Or at least they were trying to write. None of them really had any ideas for lyrics right now, so it was mostly six men frustratedly staring at paper before scrolling through their phone for a bit. The unproductive writing session was interrupted by both Peniel and Minhyuk's phones ringing. Both men looked somewhat confusedly at their phones before answering. The other four men watched as the two answering their phones stood up and went to opposite corners of the room to talk.

Minhyuk and Peniel both returned at roughly the same time. They were both still wearing a confused expression on their faces. "That was Stray Kids' Bang Chan. He said that some of their schedules got changed at the last second and he's wondering if we can hang out with some of his dongsaengs. Or something like that" Minhyuk explained.

"Huh weird. That's almost exactly what Ateez' Seonghwa told me. Except he sounded kind of frantic and specifically asked if we could watch his dongsaengs. I told him I'd ask." Peniel said. A confused silence fell over the group.

"I think it's a bit weird that the eldest of these two groups don't seem to trust their dongsaengs to be alone, but I missed the unit performance in Kingdom. I say we agree to it.” Said Changsub. The others were quick to agree and Minhyuk and Peniel sent texts to the people that had contacted them. While waiting for their dongsaengs to arrive, the six men began to get the room ready for company.

The six men decided to move to the room that had the entertainment system. They’d be able to hook up karaoke or put on a movie. Eunkwang and Sungjae also had a couple of gaming systems stored in the room and they began to look through their stash of games to decide which games their hoobaes might enjoy. Changsub, Hyunsik, and Sungjae were the most nervous to hang out with the younger groups. While Changsub had met them briefly at the beginning of Kingdom, he had to drop out of the competition after their Backdoor performance. As such, he hadn’t been part of the Mayfly performances. Meanwhile Hyunsik and Sungjae were doing their military service, so they hadn’t even really met the groups on a basic level.

Around half an hour later, Peniel got a text from Seonghwa, saying that he was at the door. Minhyuk went to go to the door to let Seonghwa in as the Company was technically closed today, but BtoB had full time access to the building because of how long they’ve been a group under the company.

While Peniel knew that Seonghwa was bringing his dongsaengs with him, the sight before him was not one he was expecting. Seonghwa was holding Hongjoong on his hip and the leader of the group seemed to be staring at the building in wonder. Yeosang and San were seemingly arguing with Wooyoung, who was stomping his feet on the ground and generally didn’t look happy. Jongho was kind of hiding behind Seonghwa, looking far more shy than he ever did during Kingdom. What really caught Peniel off guard though, was the fact that Yunho and Mingi were about to walk into the street. Yeosang stopped them at the last second by quickly grabbing the backpacks on their backs and pulling them back to the group. San and Seonghwa were also carrying large duffel bags that were full to the brim. Peniel went to the door and quickly unlocked it so he could let the eight men in.

“Thanks so much for agreeing to watch them today. We were originally planning on spending a quiet day in the dorms, but Yeosang, San, and I apparently have a couple of interviews lined up that our manager neglected to tell us about. I promise that they won’t be too much trouble. There’s some food and toys in the bags for them. There’s also a blanket or two if one of them wants to take a nap.” Seonghwa handed the bags he was holding to a confused looking Peniel before also handing over Hongjoong. San did the same. Yeosang and Seonghwa ushered Hongjoong, Jongho, Yunho, and Mingi into the building and Peniel winced as the screaming from Wooyoung got louder.

“Young-ah.” San said in a very stern tone. “I know that our plans today have been changed, but that is no excuse to be throwing a tantrum. Now, I need you to be good for Peniel and the other hyungs. I will ask him how your behaviour was, and if he tells me you were a good boy, we can get ice cream or go to the toy store” Wooyoung sniffled a bit, but seemed to calm down a little. He walked into the building, but he was clearly not happy about it. Before Peniel could ask any questions, Ateez’ manager was honking the horn of the car, signaling that Seonghwa, Yeosang, and San needed to get going. They quickly said goodbye before leaving a very confused Peniel with five dongsaengs acting strangely.

“Okay, let’s go to the elevator I guess.” He said after he relocked the door. He led the group over to the elevator and he wasn’t expecting Yunho and Mingi to start fighting over who gets to press the buttons and he sighed. “Yunho how about you press this button and Mingi, you can press the button inside.” The compromise was enough for the two and the six men got into the elevator. Shortly after Peniel wrangled the five men into the elevator, MInhyuk received a text from Chan saying that they had arrived. Minhyuk went down to greet them.

Like Peniel, Minhyuk was met with a sight that he wasn’t expecting. Jeongin was somehow carrying Hyunjin on his hip while also holding Seungmin’s hand.  Both Hyunjin and Seungmin were looking up at the sky and pointing at something. Minho looked, done, for lack of a better term. He had Changbin and Felix on child leashes as the hyper actively ran around. Chan had Jisung on his hip, and he was also holding a very full duffel bag. Minho had another one.

“Thanks for agreeing to this hyung. I got called in for an emergency meeting with the CEO that starts in half an hour. You’re a lifesaver.” Chan said as he placed the bag he was holding on the ground in the entree way. Jeongin placed Hyunjin down and nudged him and Seungmin inside. Minho sternly told Changbin and Felix to go inside and they did. Minho just kind of dropped the leashes so they were trailing behind them. Minhyuk grabbed them, although he wasn't sure why he did. Chan spoke up one more time.

“Everything they need should be in the bags. If you have any questions, there’s a notebook in one of them. I need you to please take Jisung now.” Minhyuk felt very confused as Chan handed him Jisung. The three that weren't staying left as fast as they could, which confused the rapper even more, until Jisung began crying loudly.

"Changbin-ah, Felix-ah, help with the bags please?" Minhyuk asked. He didn't know what was going on, but those two seemed eager to help. Changbin picked up one bag and grinned.

"Look, I strong." Minhyuk didn't know how to respond to this before bringing the group to the elevator. The ride up the elevator wasn't the slightest bit pleasant. Jisung would not stop screaming and he kept wriggling around. Minhyuk tried placing him on the floor of the elevator, but he continued to scream while trying to pull himself up on Minhyuk's pant leg. Minhyuk picked him up again just before the elevator doors opened and sighed as he tried to come up with any kind of explanation to give the others.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Minhyuk and the five SKZ members walked into a room of chaos. Wooyoung was crying and was trying to open the door which Peniel and Hyunsik were both blocking (Minhyuk had to knock in order to get inside). Hongjoong was crawling around on the floor and almost put his hand in an electrical socket (Sungjae had never moved so fast in his life). Yunho and Mingi were running around like maniacs, tackling each other to the ground in the process. And Jongho was sitting on the couch coloring in a book.

The SKZ members added to the chaos of the room. As soon as the group was inside the room and Peniel and Hyunsik were blocking the door again, Wooyoung once again was trying to run out of the room. Changbin saw what Wooyoung was doing and immediately went to help him. Hyunjin for whatever reason sat on the floor and began crying. Seungmins went over to Jongho. Jisung was still crying with no sign of stopping. Felix tugged on Minhyuk's shirt. Minhyuk looked at the younger.

"Huck, I poopy." Unfortunately, Felix said this in English and Minhyuk had no clue what he had said. Minhyuk, Jisung, and Felix were farther into the room and not within Peniel’s earshot. Minhyuk quickly put Jisung down on the ground, ignoring how his crying got louder. He grabbed Felix’ hand and brought him over to Peniel, who was leaning against the door along with Hyunsik. Although Wooyoung and Changbin had gone from actively trying to leave the room to playing with each other.

“Felix, can you tell Peniel what you told me?” Minhyuk asked. Peniel looked questioningly at Felix, expecting some complex concept that he would need to try to explain.

“Penny, I poopy.” Felix responded happily. Peniel also wasn’t sure how to respond. He didn’t even know what the younger was talking about.

“Did Chan explain anything to you? Cause, Seonghwa didn’t explain anything to me.” Peniel said. The question prompted Minhyuk to run over to the bags Chan had left with him and look for the notebook that was in one of them. When he found the notebook, he opened the notebook and went over to where Changsub and Eunkwang were sitting. He waved over the other three and they quickly looked over the contents. Unfortunately for five of the six members, most of the notebook was in English. Peniel’s face paled a little when it got to a certain part.

“Felix, come here real quick.” Felix happily bounded over and Peniel made a disgusted face while he quickly pulled back Felix’ pants a little. “I will explain things as best I can in a few minutes. First, can one of you find diapers and baby wipes please?”

Hi! I love your text imagines, I was wondering if you’d be open to doing something for BTOB? If you’ve already answered this I apologise 💕💕

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

I do love BTOB but I'm still a new fan of theirs. So I don't know enough about them and I don't think I'd be able create work for them that I'd be proud of. Maybe in the future when I know more because I do absolutely adore them !!!

me & my friend (@/_duglar_ on twitter) came up with a brilliant thing. ✨musical dracula but all the songs are k-pop✨

-yulya sent me a meme where a vampire says "humans are so fragile" and I thought that for this reason in many texts jonathan is turned into a vampire(/pos). at this moment, le sserafim - antifragile is playing in the background.

yulya: jonathan arrives in some asshole of the world in a terrible castle that everyone warned him about - le sserafim - fearless plays in the background.

yulya: dracula shows up with stray kids - maniac.

-everything that happens in the castle is enhypen - drunk-dazed.

yulya: van helsing shows up with seventeen - boomboom.

yulya: dracula's brides have a vibe of (g)i-dle.

-dracula's main music theme is enhypen - given-taken.

yulya: lucy throws out garlic flowers with twice - i can't stop me.

-mina writes about jonathan in her diary, plays twice - feel special.

-jonathan's main music theme is btob - i'll be your man.

yulya: shaving scene with stray kids - red lights.

-jonathan meets dracula's brides while in backgroud plays red velvet - peek-a-boo.

yulya: dracula drives his brides away from jonathan with red velvet - russian roulette.

-dracula invites jonathan to his castle with 2pm - my house.

-dracula and jonathan with txt - devil by the window.

yulya: dracula cooks food for jonathan with "cookin' like a chef I'm a 5 star 미슐랭" from stray kids - god's menu.

-musical theme of the charioteer when jonathan goes to dracula's castle is exo - wolf.

-dracula looks at jonathan, in the background plays sf9 - now or never.

jonathan: who are you

dracula: *turns on bluetooth speaker with chorus monster by exo (you can call me monster)*

yulya: the ship sails to london with txt - good boy gone bad.

-dracula asks jonathan to stay for another month, twice - yes or yes is playing in the background.

upd.

yulya: jonathan is looking for servants in the castle with kangdaniel - paranoia.

hello i am in my bg stan era these men (btob) are my thesis hell companions, i have a k-pop side blog where i swore not to post text so that's why we're here

eunkwang. rip my opera ambitions but he is also the handsomest to Me

hyunsik. love his smile and his darker-colored voice

changsub. i have worked in musical theater; love his interactions with gidle and solar

in no order, they alternate in my affections:

ilhoon. i love cube rappers what can i say

sungjae. big fan of two of his dramas

peniel. he looks exactly like my little brother which is a double edged sword

minhyuk. he is so annoying to me which is arguably a more powerful reaction than love, love his interactions w gidle

fuck cube but i miss boy and girl group interactions especially if they're the same company, snsd and minho on running man my beloved
