OKAY IT'S SKZ TIME JAY!!!!
I love them so much. You've got Bang Chan and his seven insane children.
Tumblr media
Bang Chan/Chris Bang: leader. Born in Seoul but raised in Sydney, Australia. In skz itself, he's a vocalist and composer/producer, but he's also part of 3racha, a rap/production team he was in predebut with Changbin and Jisung. Songs for Chan...god, he's amazing in all of them. I can't pick one. Lol.
Tumblr media
Lee Know (Lee Minho): Dance leader. Pretends he has zero heart but actually is all heart. Devoted cat dad to his babies soonie, doongie, and dori. Lino actually used to be a backup dancer for BTS during Fire era! Case 143 is their newest title track and he's got some really beautiful parts in it.
Tumblr media
Changbin (Seo Changbin): the definition of "looks like he could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll." Man is buff as hell and basically lives at the gym, but he's a squishy little aegyo king. He was called the "dark rapper" but idk man. He's the cutest little bean. He's also in 3racha. His song Streetlight is really underrated but gives you a really good sense of his skills.
Tumblr media
Hyunjin (Hwang Hyunjin): a dancer and rapper, Hyunjin's dance style reminds me a lot of Jimin. Check out his Play With Fire dance cover, it's amazing. Hyunjin is possibly the most dramatic little shit on the planet, but we wouldn't have him any other way. He's also an incredible painter.
Tumblr media
Han (Han Jisung): Han was born in Korea but spent a lot of time in Malaysia as a kid, and his English is excellent. He's a brilliant writer and does a lot of the lyrical work with 3racha. Wish You Back is an incredible song he did that's said to be based off the anime You Name. He's been open about his mental health struggles and had to take some time off in 2019 due to severe social anxiety, but he's doing a lot better these days. He's an introvert and a nerd and I love him.
Tumblr media
Felix (Felix Lee/Lee Yongbok): Our sunshine! Felix is also Australian, born and raised in Sydney to Korean parents. He's very sweet and sensitive (usually the first to cry during ending ments 🥺) and his voice WILL throw you for a loop. It doesn't match his face at all. 😂 If you watch God's Menu, you'll know what I mean. A rapper and our resident tiktok king, Lix is always trying to cheer up Stay.
Tumblr media
Seungmin (Kim Seungmin): You want sass? Seungmin has the sass for you. He loves the guys, but if there's an opening to roast, he'll be the first one to jump in - especially Chan. 😂😂😂 Seungmin is the lead vocalist and has the voice of an angel - watch the cover of Love Song by IU that he did on Kingdom with BtoB's Eunkwang and ateez's Jongho!
Tumblr media
I.n (Yang Jeongin): our maknae, our baby, the love of everyone's life. Innie has maknae privilege oozing out of every pore in his body and he makes full use of it. He's probably the least outwardly affectionate of the guys and is constantly trying to fight off their attempts at skinship - especially Han and Felix. He really does love them though. For a good giggle, watch his song Maknae on Top that he did with Chan and Changbin.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2HLJ87twWI2G7OkCCQfOI6Dr-02JBbMN
This playlist is for Song Camp: Howl in Harmony, which is a 6-episode miniseries skz did where they worked on their unit songs for their Noeasy album. You can see a lot of their interactions here which is nice. For incredible group performances, I recommend their cover of Pray (I'll Be Your Man) from Kingdom as well as their song Wolfgang. The Kingdom performance of that is incredible, but I recommend watching another one as well or instead as Hyunjin couldn't participate in Kingdom and having him missing really does suck.
Okay novel over but seriously I will yell about these men anytime 😅
😬 oh no
imma bout to feel real bad making them not good guys in eot 😬😬😬
OH MY GOD THEYRE ADORABLE
So many of them have such squishy cheeks oh my word I wanna squishhhhh
Felix is the one with the super deep voice right? At the beginning of Maniac?
Upon initial impressions I think Lino is the cutest, but that may change over time and as I see them perform and with different hairstyles and colors
THIS IS AMAZING BABE THANK YOU SO MUCH 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

skz, 8 and 20 🤍 (i love you)
hii ems 🥺 i love you too 🧡
8. Your favorite album?
noeasy, definitely! (maybe bc it was my first skz comeback, so that’s why it’s very special to me, but also just the songs on it go so hard!)
20. Favorite live performance?
this neverending story performance will always have a very special place in my heart. i’m not usually someone who cries, but i can start crying at this performance (and even just the song makes me sob sometimes). it’s such a nice song and that performance is just so pretty 😭
send me a kpop group and a number!

hi love! thanks so much i’ll definitely remember that <3
my bias is chris! i’ve been a fan since debut and it’s pretty much just always been him? i’m normal about literally everything but that man, i feel high key insane sometimes ashdjfk. i see yours is min!! completely understandable, he is everything <3. i saw you saying you love him and cats and same !!! him and his cats in his latest vlog? healing. (also not cat related but did you see the puppy interview? it was so cute my god)
do you have any fave albums/songs? - 🌻
oh btw i’m the ss from the one bee and tsu have organized! (i’m not sure what the name is sorry!!)
CHRIS!!! aw hes such a cutie!!! also yo i totally feel you lol i am high key high key insane about lino lmao my moots can def vouch for that 😂😂😂 i am not normal about that man. HIS LATEST VLOG??? ugh that was everything, just him having a fun time solo camping and enjoying his own company, cooking some delicious food (love me a man who can cook), reading (LOVE ME A MAN WHO READS FOR FUN), staring into the camera with his freakin boba eyes ajfhaskf yeah im totallyyyyy fine it's okay. him with his cats makes me so soft, the way he hugs soonie and feeds them and pets them 🥺 also yes the puppy interview was so cute omg! especially chan HAHA he practically forgot it was an interview 😂 my heart couldnt handle all the cuteness
oh you've been a fan since debut?? you've seen how far they've come 🥺 i am actually a baby stay because i just got into them recently around 2 months ago but let me tell you, it was a very fast descent LOL. the heart likes what it likes i guess haha i dont know what makes some groups just a normal level for me and other groups at an ult level for me, but skz definitely stole my heart hehe and their music is so good too!! i love their music
speaking of music, my fav albums would probably be noeasy and oddinary, and i also like the miroh album, the in life album. i love maniac tbh, and i especially love watching lino dance the choreo especially in the 2nd chorus (i have watched too many lino fancams...). levanter is a fav as well, and all in!! I LOVE ALL IN. especially 201129 lino 🫠 how about you??

Skz for the ask game 😌
Thanks for the ask! 💕
✦ my first bias
Not like full biases, but from back in the day when my stay friend was sending me MVs and purely based off looks, Changbin and Jisung caught my eye.
✦ my current bias(es)
Chan ❤️💕💖
Also a little bit Changbin as well? Though it's more of an appreciation of his visuals and voice than full stanning I'm counting him as a platonic bias.
✦ my album and/or era ranking (or favorite of each)
Their debut era will always have a special place in my heart because I have a lot of good memories of my stay friend sending me stuff and telling me about them. (Felix rubbing off his cheek makeup so fans could see his freckles will live rent free in my head forever)
For album I'm gonna go with NOEASY because it has so many good songs, I have listened to a lot of its songs on repeat. XD
Oh also I am WHO because I adore Voices and Insomnia and Question and just everything on that album.
✦ how i got into them
This one is gonna be long because I talk too much. XD
I've known of their music and been what I call "stay adjacent" since pre-debut, the stay friend I mentioned above was watching their survival show (JYP was evil for that from what I heard from my friend about it...) and kept telling me about them. I enjoyed their music and listened to their music up until Double Knot I think? That's the last one I remember. I didn't have time to stan and then I lost track of their music for a bit.
Then this year, I heard that they were going on tour and were actually going to be at a location it was feasible for me to go to. I decided to go because I knew I liked their music and missed concerts. Then I figured I should get to know them more if I was going to see them live and ended up falling head first into fully stanning them, and here I am.
✦ which member would be my best friend
I'm bad with this kind of question, but I feel like maybe Seungmin? I dunno... If any of my stayblr pals have thoughts on this I'd be curious to know who you think. 👀
✦ something i associate with them (or with a bias/any member)
Lots of good music, interesting lyrics, chaos, peak sibling energy (the way they all call Chan old... As the oldest of my siblings I can relate so much to that)

verivery and skz!
ooh okay--
first bias:
verivery: gyehyeon
skz: hyunjin
current bias(es):
verivery: ...gyehyeon (altho also dongheon and hoyoung now maybe? and yongseung? idk i like a lot of them)
skz: minho, jisung (maybe others but my bias list in skz is a lot less comprehensive than it used to be LMAO)
album/era ranking:
verivery:
ROUND 2: WHOLE | bcs it had both underdog and heart attack, and trigger slapped, so !
ROUND 3: WHOLE | undercover and O are my two favorite promoted tracks of theirs and they both come off this album, plus the styling and concept this era fucked massively, so. yeah <3
ROUND 1: HALL | only two tracks, but the tracks were get away and numbness, which both slapped. also the concept and mv were absolutely iconic
FACE ME + FACE YOU | lumping these together because theyre pretty even for me-- FACE ME has lay back, photo, and MOMENT, then FACE YOU has thunder.
FACE US | the bsides were great and a couple of my favorite VRVR tracks are on that album (my face and get outta my way), but GBTB being the title kinda detracted from it for me HDJFFJHF
VERI-CHILL
VERI-US + VERI-ABLE | i know there are a lot of kpop fans out there who really go for the more bright, cheery songs, but as much as i respect them they are not me-- i still like all the songs tho, not to be mistaken! Alright! and Get Ready are forever bops
skz: (im not doing literally every single era because that would be, just. SO much.)
clé: LEVANTER | levanter is one of, if not my MOST favorite skz title track of all time-- the mv, the song, just the EVERYTHING. the album also has sunshine, booster, and STOP, so yeah its my favorite <33
I AM WHO | my pace as the tt, and then question, insomnia, m.i.a., voices, WHO?, awkward silence... i have listed literally every song on the album so that probably gives you an idea of how much i value it.
Clé 1: MIROH | me: era that got me into stray kids say aye! miroh: AYE!! KSGDJDGH but yeah it. the Queen of all time <33 im pretty sure i had some of the rap sections in maze of memories, if not the entire song, memorized for like a straight year, despite not being able to nor wanting to rap myself. chronosaurus, 19, boxer, victory song my beloveds... clé 1 my beloved <3
GO LIFE/IN LIFE | pairing these two together because one is a repackage and they BOTH have some of my favorite ever skz songs on them. even though these eras saw the start of my decline from stay-dom with god's menu, im still absolutely in love with a lot of the songs that came from them, like easy, any, wow, my universe, another day, phobia, gone days, and ta!
NOEASY | once again kind of a miss on the title track with my personal tasted, but the BSIDES. god the bsides. we got silent cry, gone away, mixtape: OH (even though that was kind of its own era before with a single/ prerelease if i remember right?), cheese, domino, fucking red lights... kpop groups why must you always make my least favorite song of an album the title track.
I am NOT | not one of my favorite tts even if it was debut, but its a nostalgia era for me, and mirror, awaken, rock, grow up, and 3rd eye are ABSOLUTELY my beloveds.
Clé 2: Yellow Wood | not one of my most exciting eras, but i loved all the mixtapes and four of them were on this album, so !!
how i got into them:
verivery: i saw a gyehyeon gifset on my fyp, then went into his tag to find more gifsets to reblog (both because he pretty and i wanted to support creators), then next thing i know im binging every single one of their title tracks in order and drowning myself in their lore. it happened entirely without me expecting it
skz: saw the chronosaurus mv under a b*s mv i was watching back in 2019, liked it, then went and watched a bunch of their other stuff, liked that, and they very rapidly ascended to ult position LMAO
which member would be my best friend:
verivery: honestly theyre all very friend-shaped to me but probably dongheon, yongseung, or minchan? dongheon is a dork, minchan is precisely my kind of funny/weird, and yongseung is just chill and i think he'd be cool to hang out with!
skz: jisung <3 also felix, felix would be an absolutely rad best friend.
something i associate with them:
verivery: fuck idrk how to interpret this question. their lore? clone themes? vaguely homoerotic tension? the color silver? i could go on a whole rant on what my synesthesia associates with each of the individual members but that would be far too much to squeeze into this ask game, and also i think i may have already done that. i can say i associate minchan with coffee a little bit because that's what his voice sounds like to me?
skz: the color orange, for some reason. other than that i kinda got nothing HDJFBF

K-Pop Spotlight: Stray Kids
Stray Kids are back with their noisiest and most memorable album yet. To celebrate, we caught up with the self-producing boy group to talk about their second full album NOEASY, the new single “Thunderous,” and some of the lessons they’ve learned in the three years since their debut. Check out our full interview below!
Where did the inspiration for the album title NOEASY come from? Would you consider your Stray Kids sound to be noisy, and do you like that description?
Bang Chan: We did a little wordplay with the words “no easy” and “noisy,” meaning that in a world where things aren’t so easy, we will be noisier and noisier. I actually don’t mind people describing our music as noisy ’cause that’s what we’re trying to be. The loudest noise that everyone will remember!
Changbin: Since our title songs are typically powerful and performance-based, I’m sure some people think our music is a little noisy. With that said, some people enjoy that sort of energy. We also get energized and have fun on stage, so I think the expression “noisy” is a positive thing. The title NOEASY is a spirited response to all the noise that distracts us and gets in our way—to say that we’re not an easy match and we won’t back down.
You celebrated your third anniversary as a group earlier this year (congrats!)—what are some of the (harder) lessons you’ve learned over the years as a group that produces all of their own music?
Hyunjin: During these past three years, the things I’ve learned are the love of STAY and how to love more. Additionally, through countless performances, I think my stage skills have also improved.
HAN: I was amazed and thankful to learn that the songs I write and create can move people. I hope to continue making good music that will move more people and continue to touch their hearts!
Felix: I learned that it’s hard to reach many goals in life. However, over the past years, I’ve learned to ask for help and feedback from my members. As time goes by, we’ve strengthened our team play to overcome anything.
What’s the first song you remember loving, or what is one of your recent favorite songs?
Bang Chan: Out of Stray Kids songs? “Hellevator” because it was our first official song as Stray Kids.
Lee Know: I was told that when I was a child, I used to dance and sing along to the music on the radio that my parents would listen to. I think that’s when I first started loving music, but I can’t remember what those songs were!
Changbin: “개똥벌레” (T/N: This song translates to “Firefly” in Korean and is a nursery song.)
Hyunjin: I think my favorite song is “Secret Secret” because HAN and I share the same emotional wavelength, and the lyrics really resonated with me.
HAN: I really liked “D” by DEAN!
Felix: “Grow Up” is a song we always sang together with our STAY during our concerts and performances. This song brings back a lot of unforgettable memories for me.
Seungmin: Kim Dong Ryul’s “Drunken Truth”
I.N: My favorite song from this album is “Thunderous!”
Many of you were really into anime and exercise as your stress-relief/hobbies the last time we spoke. Tell us a little bit about what you are into these days, outside of your activities as Stray Kids.
Bang Chan: Umm, I’m still exercising daily, and these days I’ve been using Felix’s Switch to play games.
Lee Know: I either cook or go to a cafe to read a book.
Changbin: I like working out!
Hyunjin: I study art and draw. I like to have my own time of healing in my free time by watching other artists on YouTube.
HAN: I still watch anime, go on YouTube, work on music, and exercise. I think I tend to gravitate more towards things I can do at home rather than outside.
Felix: If I have the time, I go out bike riding, walk in the park, or look for some new recipes to cook for the people around me.
Seungmin: I’ve been enjoying taking vocal lessons and playing the guitar sometimes! I’ve also developed a deep interest in coffee, so I’ve been exploring different machines and flavors.
I.N: I recharge by laying in bed and watching YouTube or movies.
On these last few albums, we’ve seen some unit songs developed outside of the usual 3RACHA team. Do your members ever surprise or excite you by what they come up with when you’re working as a new unit?
Bang Chan: Yes, it’s always surprising and exciting! It’s really unexpected, and their ideas are really good, too, so it’s always fun to work as units.
Changbin: It’s even more inspiring and helpful when I hear other ideas outside of my own.
Seungmin: I was blown away by Felix’s rap and vocals in “Surfin’!” I remember being very pleasantly surprised by the originality/freshness of his self-written rap.
You’ve all grown so much as people and performers since your debut. How has that growth impacted your sound and the themes in your music?
Lee Know: As we’ve grown, we’ve widened our range of music and performances, which has allowed Stray Kids the ability to convey a broader range of expressions.
Seungmin: In my case, I think I’ve become a reliable vocalist for Stray Kids! In order to sing our team’s songs well, I’m honing my singing ability so that I can pull off any type of melody 3RACHA creates.
I.N: Our album contains songs of diverse genres, and singing this wide variety of songs has helped me grow a lot.
If you could have a meal with your families anywhere in the world tonight, what would you be eating and where?
Bang Chan: Just having a normal dinner with the fam at home would be nice.
Lee Know: I think it would be the best if I could have a home-cooked meal with my family at our home in Gimpo. There’s no place more comfortable than that, and Soonie, Doongie, and Dori (our cats) are there, too.
Changbin: I want to go to Australia and eat steak!
Hyunjin: I want to visit Japan with my parents and go to a hot spring again. I’d like to eat the grilled skewers that we had there last time.
HAN: I would like to have a BBQ party and grill tons of meat like chicken, beef, pork, lamb, etc. It would be fun to rent a vacation home and just eat and have fun!!
Felix: I’d love to eat in Australia with my family at a nice, big, fancy restaurant, just enjoying the view, the food, and having the time of our lives together.
Seungmin: I would like to cook and enjoy a meal together at home. It’s the best when you can eat good food and have good conversations in a comfortable atmosphere!
I.N: I would like to grill and eat pork belly in Hawaii while looking out at the ocean.

Btw, I don't write smut explicitly because I don't know how to write one, so everything is implied (as well as in the future if i ever publish more)
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this!
I.
It’s been a long night, both of pleasure and exhaustion. Y/n faced the man before her, whose back so broad that it covered the man’s identity. But it’s the back of the very person she fell in love with. Hopeless as she is, pathetic she felt for accepting such a ridiculous request. To be as intimate as if bounded by vows and promises, but to not be attached and only act as if nights of pleasure never happened.
It’s like the very song she heard from that series she and her friends binged watched.
I think I like the sight of your back
So, I can look at you without expecting you to look at me
We look for love in different places
But I’m trying to sleep, holding on to the nights you were here
The song could lull and carry her to her dreams on sleepless nights, if only the song wasn’t as hurtful as it was. She’d listen to how melodic the song was on numerous times, but she felt it was too real. It’s as if she was the one singing it to the man.
On mornings spent after blissful and hazy nights, she’d always wake up first. Cleaning herself up of the residues of last night’s evidence, she’d be fresh as if nothing ever happened the moment the boy wakes up.
“You’re up early again,” Seungmin mumbled groggily. Sitting up, the navy-blue duvet that covered his bare chest, slipped down. He thought it was no use covering his self once more, when their nightly activities already revealed more.
“Oh,” Y/n paused and pondered of an excuse, “I got a text from Jisung. He said he wanted to grab breakfast with me.” It wasn’t entirely a lie, she thought. It was a morning routine she fell into with said boy, ever since freshmen.
Seungmin shuffled, the duvet covering his lower area as he looked for his boxers, to at least show some decency to the fully clothed girl. “Did he say where? I can drive you there.”
Her heart ached at the gesture, but she really wished to escape the scene as quickly as possible. “It’s fine. It’s a couple blocks down the university.”
The boy halted in the middle of wearing an oversized shirt he picked from the pile of clothes on the floor, his lower body finally clothed. “Are you sure?”
Y/n smiled half heartedly, walking to her bag and slinging it to her shoulders. “Yeah. I’m all good,” she said, walking out the bedroom and to Seungmin’s front door. “See you around campus.” Seungmin only waved in reply, closing the door of his apartment.
II.
Y/n walked back to her shared apartment with a guy named Felix; a hand clutched to her chest as she eased the ache she felt. It was a recurring thing for her after a night spent with Seungmin. She’d always remember their first night together and compare it to now; a night previously spent by roughness and edging but now it all seemed vanilla. It was playing with her heart and mind. She knew it was a mistake to agree to this arrangement the moment Seungmin asked. So why is it now that she only started to regret.
She always wished to find real love in developing friendships, or maybe love at first sight. But those dreams were crushed with the constant rejection and lies she experienced. Even seeing her mother suffer from heartbreak that her so-called father caused, she lost faith in love. She wished that if love came to her, it would be with someone who’d unravel her and care for her—someone to get her back on her feet. She did not expect to find love this way. Not in this arrangement.
Y/n had suffered enough heartbreak; she didn’t need any more.
Once she arrived at her apartment, she was greeted with the scent of sugar and chocolate. Her roommate has been up in the early hours of the morning to bake batches of brownies as well as cookies.
“Oh! You’re home!” Felix greeted cheerily, a yellow apron with a yellow freckled chick on the apron’s pocket, stitched.
“You’ve been baking? What time did you get up?” Y/n removed her shoes, following Felix to their little kitchen but not before haphazardly throwing her bag on their couch.
“I’ve been up since 5, actually,” Felix shyly chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. He handed a piece of cooling brownie to the girl.
Y/n counted the hours, “3 hours?” Felix nodded. “Something big is happening then, if you’re gonna bake so early, and with this much cookies and brownies.”
“Yeah! Our Contemporary Dance professor from first year wanted three juniors and two seniors to evaluate the freshmen’s finals practical exams. I didn’t make the cut to evaluate but I was invited to perform!” Felix brightly explained. “I had baked these as snacks for the evaluators and as encouragement for the freshmen performing later this afternoon.”
Y/n nodded in understanding, smiling at the boy. She met Felix through Jisung—both sharing the same class, minoring in traditional art with Hyunjin and Y/n. The girl was not that much of a social butterfly, so her connections mostly came from Jisung. And she genuinely thinks that Felix is an angel. Seeing him now, even if he wasn’t asked to evaluate, he was invited to perform anyway—which definitely tells a lot about how talented he is to receive an invitation. And he expressed his gratitude by waking up in the wee hours of the morning to bake.
“You’re literally an angel.” She muttered, not minding the compliment that slipped unconsciously. Felix grinned shyly in reply. He’d been told that a lot of times. They even call him sunshine. He usually denied it, but he grew kind of used to it.
“All in a day’s work,” Felix brightly smiled. Y/n thought that she should’ve worn sunglasses with how blinding the boy’s smile is.
Ruffling Felix’s hair in thanks for the sweet dessert, she walked to her room to pick some clothes, then going to the bathroom to prepare for breakfast with Jisung. When she walked back to the kitchen after being dressed, she was greeted with Felix pulling out the last batch of cookies to be cooled, from the oven.
“Hey Lix, I’m out to grab breakfast with Jisung,” she called, earning said boy’s attention. “I’m assuming you haven’t had one yet, do you perhaps want to come with us?”
Felix smiled, “Sure! This needs to cool off anyway before I pack them individually.” He spoke, removing his oven mitts. He covered the cookie tray to avoid it from being raided by ants, “Let me just change real quick. Wait for me?” Y/n nodded, grabbing a sling bag to put her wallet and phone.
The two soon made their way to the usual diner she and Jisung go to for breakfast. There, three spent their time chatting idly that it soon erased the thought of Seungmin from her mind, even if it was for a few hours, it was fatally important for her.
III.
Felix invited both Jisung and Y/n to watch his performance. The event was open to all students from the art department—and for anyone from a different department, granted they were invited or they have someone from the art department.
“As expected, Lix makes really good cookies and brownies!” Hyunjin, a classmate of Felix—who was one of the chosen junior evaluators—complimented. The boy’s eyes creasing into crescents from the ecstatic feeling the sweet gave him.
Minho, who was one of the senior evaluator, clicked his tongue in dismay, “If only I was Felix’s roommate,” the older glared playfully at Y/n who just chuckled at him in return. “Hey,” Minho called out, earning the attention of all of them in their little circle at the back stage. He looked at Felix concerned, “You baked this really early, right? Are you sure you’re rested enough to perform later?”
The group looked at Felix now. “Don’t worry! The adrenaline’s rushing that I can’t even feel tired!” He looked excited even with the bags hidden from his light make-up.
“At least get a few minutes of shut eye before your performance,” Jisung sighed.
Felix shook his head, “I don’t want to miss out all of the freshmen’s performance!”
Y/n knew there was no helping it. All of them knew. “If you say so,” she sighed. “We’ll find our seats. The event’s going to start in a few.” She remarked, after checking the digital clock displayed on her lock screen.
The three dancers waved Jisung and Y/n a 'goodbye'. The two wished them a "good luck" as they soon found their seats amongst the crowd of art students. Some she recognized from her shared classes, while some she thought from a different department. But her eyes caught the familiar mop of brunette. The same brunette she’d wake up to beside her, on days said person would feel lonely and ask for her presence.
Y/n fought the urge to come over and say a quick "hello". The boy was alone. She could really make her way to make a small talk but she stopped. Seungmin—a few seats from in front of her—seemed to be checking his phone, with the occasional glance at the stage as if looking for someone.
Ah…He’s here for someone.
And so, she sat back down beside Jisung.
IV.
The performance of each group, duo, or individuals, went smoothly. It was after Felix and a few other juniors who performed for a short intermission, did the event proceed once more. This time, it was two freshmen performing a contemporary dance from the song “Heavy Heart” by RIO from the drama Nevertheless.
The interpretation of the song the two students put in each move drew her closer. She was no dancer but she felt the emotion coming from them. And somehow, it brought her back to the thought from this morning. The song coming to an end, heartbreaking steps from the dancers, as if it was a manifestation of her whole situation, and it brought back her dilemma of the same sentences that made her heart ache.
I think I like the sight of your back
So, I can look at you without expecting you to look at me
We look for love in different places
But I’m trying to sleep, holding on to the nights you were here
She came to a realization that once again, in this very auditorium, that Seungmin was ahead of her. Never seeing his face, always his back. Right…He’d never look back at me. Because right there, he was looking at the freshman who’d just finished performing.
She knew he’d take a liking to people with talent, someone who’d be skillful, someone who'd steal his breath away with a performance like this, but she never expected he’d be interested in someone younger. Then again, she shouldn’t be, considering news comes around that he’d even sleep with someone older than him by a few years.
Looking at him right now, from where she sat, she can make out a glimpse of his profile, and it’s enough for her to conclude that his face was painted with pure adoration. Something he never gave her.
When will you look at me? It’s a sentence she wished to ask. Because she knew its futility when she’s slapped with the truth that she’s just another doll to throw once he’s tired of the same play.
V.
Seungmin
Hey
Can you come over tonight?
Y/n
I’m sorry
I can’t
I’m actually cramming my finals
Seungmin
You want me to help you?
Y/n
No offense
I don’t think a music major could help me with my
graphics finals
Seungmin
Oh you hurt me 😢💔
Y/n
😛
Seungmin
I guess if you’re busy
It can’t be helped
Y/n
Really sorry about that ☹️
Seungmin
Don’t worry 😊
Good luck on your finals though
Y/n
Thanks!
VI.
It’s probably a week since they last talked. Y/n wished it stretched more until she graduates, but getting Seungmin out of her brain and her perimeter was harder than it looked. She desperately wanted to stop their little rendezvous, but she still found herself in the same bed right after finals week.
Seungmin had her pinned between the soft sheets of his bed, and she can’t help but give in. She felt high from the sweet kisses he gave, but the ugly feeling of hurt tugs at the very pit of her stomach. She feels wrong and dirty.
Hazy with the bliss he continuously gave, she barely noticed how Seungmin had pulled at her left hand, tugging it to his lips, where he pressed a kiss from the inside her ring finger. “You have a beauty mark here,” he murmured between his lips. Intertwining his right hand with her left after the kiss. He then moved to her chest, pressing a kiss on the inside of her mounds, he muttered once more, “you have another one here.” After the kiss on her chest, he leaned closer to her face, their warm, bare bodies pressed together. He gently pulled at her ear with his lips, he muttered again, “and here too.”
Seungmin kept up with his chaste kisses all over her body where her beauty marks were. Even the smallest ones that were in visible areas that people would normally look, he noticed. She felt like she could cry. No one ever notices those. Not even her. And the very thought that Seungmin was the one to notice, to give attention no matter how small it was, gave her heart the biggest amount of hope that maybe he does feel something for her in return. But her heart feels heavy.
After the bliss, came the heart ache she’d always feel. This time it’s quadrupled in pain. She felt horrible. She shouldn’t be here anymore when Seungmin found his potential significant other.
And so, when morning came once more, she opted to stand up and proceed with the usual routine of cleaning and dressing up before Seungmin woke. However, before she could even sit up, a pair of arms already found its way to her waist. Head buried behind hers, nose kissing up the back of her neck.
“Are you planning to leave early again?” Seungmin’s deep morning voice sounded within the quiet room. Sleep evident in his tone, but she was sure there was something akin to slight disappointment when he spoke.
“I have to. I’m meeting up with Jisung,” she softly replied. Her heart beating miles per hour in nervousness. She hoped he didn’t hear the loud thuds it made.
“It’s always him. Can’t you stay even for a little while?” He sounded a bit childish. Maybe a bit jealous… No…you can’t really be jealous…right?
She shakily sighed, “But I don’t think I have any reason to stay here…” Considering what we have is casual and something that does not need any strings attached…
“Can’t your reason be me?”
Silence.
Even her heart have stopped it’s rapid and loud beating.
“I want to get to know you more…I want to talk to you; I want to cook for you in the mornings after we spend time in the night; I want to share my deepest thoughts with you; I want to know your thoughts…I want to hear your voice…There’s so many things I want to do with you…”
She was caught tongue tied. What was she supposed to reply? She barely even processed what he said.
“What?” It was the only thing that came out of her.
“I know you don’t feel the same, considering it’s always Jisung you run to…” He paused. “But I am genuinely in love with you.” Suddenly, his arms tightened around her waist—but not in a hurtful way—as if he was afraid, she’d slip out of him and into Jisung’s arms.
“You…love me?” She swore she felt a tear slip from her eyes and kiss its way down her cheek to the pillow beneath.
“I do. I’m sorry…I couldn’t help it…” He sounded dejected. “I’m not sure if you’re entirely interested in anyone else…but if you let me, I can show you how honest I am with what I feel…I don’t want you to think that I’m looking at you just for sex.” He said, nuzzling his nose on the back of her neck. Her scent calming his nerves and the ache he feels in his chest.
Y/n couldn’t help it anymore. She was still unsure, but she turned around in his arms to face him. “When did you feel it?” She stared in his eyes, searching for proof that she wasn’t being lied to, like her previous love interests.
“During that time, you asked me for help with your photography project…” He spoke. And it was enough for the girl to jog up the memory of the two of them together in the soccer field of the university. The sun casted its golden glow as it begun sinking, preparing it’s farewell. Seungmin lay on the grass as Y/n took photos for her photography project. The girl was happy with the results, and Seungmin witnessing her bright, satisfied smile did numerous things to him. It was also their first night of intimacy—the kind of intimacy where everything was slow and vanilla.
Y/n remembers it crystal clear. Because that was the time, she realized she’d fallen deeper for the boy. She was starting to feel light headed from the thought of having her feelings returned, but something still bothered her. “Then what about that freshman during the dance majors’ practical exams?”
Seungmin was surprised she noticed that. You were there? You saw me? He kind of wanted to tease her, but decided not to, considering that the air around them was serious and that he wanted her to know that his intentions were true. “That was my cousin and their girlfriend.” He looked into her eyes.
Suddenly she felt embarrassed. She didn’t need to, but she can’t help considering the boy’s reputation was already questionable.
“I…feel the same way,” she started, earning a wide-eyed reaction from Seungmin. But before the boy could happily reply, she continued, “but I’m sorry if you’ll have to wait for me…”
Seungmin was confused. “What do you mean?”
“I can’t trust anyone fully when it comes to love or relationship…I’m sorry if you’ll have to wait for me to open up…” She looked down sadly, biting at her nails in nervousness.
Seungmin removed an arm around her waist, travelling up to her cheek while the other remained to keep her close. “I don’t mind waiting. In fact, I’d love to help you,” He assured, caressing her cheek with the pad of his thumb. “I know my reputation is not the best…but I’m really serious with you. I’m tired of fooling around, I want to settle down…And I want it to be with you, because you make me feel at ease and at home.”
She sighed, feeling a light weight from the heavy load her heart carried, being lifted. “I’ll try.”
The hand that rested on her waist moved to her left hand once more. Like the last night they spent, Seungmin brought her hand to his lips, pressing a kiss to where her small beauty mark was, on her ring finger. “We’ll do it together, and we’ll do it slowly. I won’t pressure you into anything you don’t want, that, I promise.” With that, he pressed a reassuring kiss on her forehead.
Her heart is heavy, but right now, it felt lighter than it did before.

##소리꾼 (THUNDEROUS) !
Tumblr media
ALBUM: NOEASY
COMEBACK RELEASE: AUGUST 23RD 2021
TRACK: 소리꾼 (THUNDEROUS)
i’m not sorry, i’m dirty . . .
SKZ: villains make our blood boil !
audio moodboard by kiki ! [ vocals by meloneye ]
— 악당 무리에 뜨거운 피가 돌아 온몸에 번져 !
Tumblr media
FORMAT: dot point
PAIRING/S: lucy and the boys ( skz )
GENRE: idol, fluff
WORD COUNT: 1.8k
WARNINGS: implied romance, alpha female energy, mentions of chan’s abs and ass
Tumblr media
##PRODUCTION !
first things first, noeasy is lucy’s era. well, it’s everyone’s era but it’s the comeback where she’s got the most lines.
you would think being a main lyricist would cut her some slack but nope, management was always adamant that the group had to increase/maintain their popularity before lucy could get a chance to “shine”.
jokes on them though, because where would they be without lucy’s clout?
and now, they’re million unit sellers.
legends say taylor swift’s the man was actually written for lucy kang.
after kingdom, there was absolutely no way she was hiding from the spotlight ever again. the nation knows she’s not just the token female member, she’s a monster born and created: a triple threat alpha ready to devour.
too noisy? too bad.
no more background harmonies/vocals or a couple of pity lines— this girl’s finally getting verses and dedicated solo shots.
also, dance formations/symmetry be dammed. the girl fits seamlessly no matter where she’s placed, mostly thanks to her A CLASS stylists.
and to hell with “male” choreography— you’ve never seen a girl look so good spitting on her palms, ready to throw hands.
notable lines written by lucy and changbin:
there’s no way they can lower my ego, i stick to my principles
i don't care how they look at me, i’ll always say what i have to say
everybody's talking nonsense— tired of this and that, shaking my head
you talk too much, stop meddling
i was born crooked, my voice can go against a hundred
if i don't like something, i’ll talk back until i’m satisfied
notable lines written by lucy and han:
villains make my blood boil and circulate throughout my body
why you mad? why you sad? why you tick—tick—ticked off?
your attempt to look cool is cute
you don't even come close to me, this is my show
notable lines written by chan for lucy:
man, i’m not sorry i’m dirty
freezing cold but i know we’ll burn forever
keep on talking, we don’t play by the rules
Tumblr media
##M/V & STAGE !
short cut of a nine-tailed lucy playing with dokkaebi flames (possibly animated).
body rolls from the crop top duo, ie. the chabs (chan’s abs) and the jelly belly (lucy’s pierced navel) would without a doubt break the internet.
same goes for the dragon twins’ (hyunjin and lucy’s) dance solos.
MAN, I’M NOT SORRY I’M DIRTY.
the amount of attitude in that one line is enough to take the entire fandom for months.
lucy owns the most wicked smirk ever caught on camera as she basically tells the entire world, yeah— i do sleep under the same roof as eight hot dudes. get over it.
really, this is lucy’s world and we’re all just living in it.
if yeji can do her crazy mafia squat, lucy can absolutely do the thunderous squat.
the finger-wiggling-neck gesture was one of lucy’s contributions to the choreography— it was initially a slicing sound effect/motion; but chan and lucy decided to convert it to something a little more friendly.
the “riding” choreography instead imitates a litter, lucy is back to back with changbin and her hands form the shape of a crown. chan, han and minho support the two (as their carriage) whilst hyunjin/jeongin and felix/seungmin “hold” onto the front and back.
lucy consistently makes sure she’s not hurting lee know as he piggybacks her.
lucy tries not to burst out laughing whenever she spots butt-hunter lee know from the corner of her eye.
lucy often changes the fist-bump choreography with lee know to play rock-paper-scissors.
you just know all of lucy’s ending fairies are immaculate; whether they’re in sign language or are smiley-cute/smirky-sexy— any close up of her is dangerous for the heart.
Tumblr media
##MAKING FILM (SKZ-TALKER) !
lucy going off on a tangent about how much she loves historical/revolution concepts and mythical creature lore (with seungmin attempting to shut her up).
lucy and chan chasing each other around set to poke and/or tickle each other’s exposed midriffs.
lucy is an absolute menace on set because she can’t do anything without being remotely distracting (even if she’s being quiet).
out of all of the members, lucy gets into trouble the most. she’s often put to sleep by their managers or lured away with food and/or games.
but the kids like her company as her presence lightens the atmosphere/makes the filming process more relaxed and fun.
whenever lucy’s filming solo, it becomes a competition of who can make her react/break character first.
funnily enough, she is usually the most immersed and professional out of the members. it’s difficult to disturb a perfectionist like her at work— but not impossible.
the aussies are essentially the band’s cesco (korean anti-pest company), they’re the least afraid of bugs unless they’re massive spiders (in that case, it’s every man for themselves).
lucy giggling to talker about hand fans because they make her feel like she’s in a hair commercial.
lucy adorably showing her battle scars to talker and making up stories about each of them. i got this one from lee know’s cat and this one’s from my fist fight with seungmin! i won, by the way.
the tangerines (chan and lucy) flirting on quad bikes.
felix and lucy making mario kart references when they’re filming on bikes/in cars.
lucy gets the “chan’s-sound-of-third-person” mission whilst seungmin gets “lucy’s-sound-of-thunder”; he says his is by far the easiest and can accomplish it the second he gets within her radius. lucy groans and says hers is impossible because chan refuses to do aegyo anywhere near her.
lucy catches onto seungmin’s mission fairly quickly though, which makes for some interesting cuts of her trying to be nice whilst the kid is annoying the absolute shit out of her (they’re playing catch with a baseball and seungmin is purposely failing to catch all of her throws).
eventually she gives up and yells at him, seungmin-ah! seriously? *cue happy puppy bouncing*
chilling in the trailer with chan and jeongin, lucy refers to herself in third person but makes it a little obvious it’s part of her mission. lucy’s eating her snacks and—
i am also eating her snacks, chan laughs because he knows exactly what her mission is. third person singular, right? lucy replies with an irritated no!
chan and his teasing hwaiting! (be glad you don’t know what kind of look the girl gives him behind the camera)
later on, lucy tries to disguise her mission by interviewing changbin about what he wants to eat. he says he’s surprisingly not hungry, and chan?
i’m not craving anything in particular, the man has the audacity to laugh with his damn man titties hanging out as he immediately catches lucy for the second time.
what do you need from me? chan asks a frustrated (flustered) lucy (the bastard’s somehow getting better at flirting and changbin walks away with a satisfied smirk).
i’m just asking you— bang christopher chan, what you want to eat, and how you’re feeling!
chan starts filming lucy with his phone and jeongin walks in between the two in an attempt to widen the gap between them/ease the tension (to no avail).
but what will you do for me? (if chan were to help lucy with her mission).
lucy swears she didn’t just get the chills from his question, the air at 2:00am is just cooler than usual.
i’ll be cute for you,
oh? well, you go first then.
the two grin and chuckle too playfully: their members are watching from the sidelines absolutely sure this is going to be edited out of the video.
oppa! soyeonnie wants barbecue for dinner!
chan absolutely cracks himself laughing at her terrible aegyo before he responds with: and channie is off to do his shoot now!
I HATE YOU! are the last words chan records before he runs off cackling like a madman.
lucy laughs/pokes fun at the kids a lot whenever any of them forget their cues; but on the extremely rare occasion she forgets— the members never let her live it down.
jeongin and lucy pretending the smoke effects are each other’s fart clouds.
bingsu! lucy loves her bingsu! thank you 2PM!
lucy also loves taking cute photos of the kids whenever they’re smiling and/or eating— especially of her sunshine, felix.
chan and lucy spray tagging the wall: the two like using “K9”, because wolves and nine kids.
it’s not a myth, lucy literally eats cds before stages— 42 episodes of skz-talker = hard evidence.
and it’s definitely not a skz-talker without lucy and han bursting into song out of nowhere/lucy and changbin competing who can do their vocal warmups the loudest.
wolfgang stage included because why not: though the thought of girls growling/female werewolves might trigger something deep within me (like it definitely would chan, aha)
first verse with lucy and changbin:
focus—
yeah, you better be afraid if you hear us
shut your mouth, fix your posture when you see us
a hunter, but you’re weak
i’m showing no mercy
i’ll bite your throat and see
how you fall when you bleed
second verse with hyunjin, lucy and han:
now, we’re on the hunt
a pack, we’re gonna run
laughing at all the ruins from the battles we have won
wolfgang, yes sir
mission for your successor
we win when we’re together
so drop your head and kneel beneath the wolf i have become
(translated lyrics from lex’s cover)
skz-talker, aka time for “what’s in lucy’s snack bag today”
lucy trusts hyunjin, minho and felix the most with taking her photos; but only very recently has she begun to let changbin and jeongin take her photos to help them improve.
their managers and/or jeongin having to wake lucy from her naps (bc they’re the only people she won’t get angry at).
the view and grow up stage also included: very pretty pastel/plant mom vibes.
lucy humming “i like the view right now” whenever she gets a good angle of chan’s ass: he has absolutely no idea why the rest of the kids are laughing so hard.
grow up is one of the hardest songs for lucy to sing. and she wrote it with the kids in mind (not initially for chan during their early trainee days that’s for sure).
you’ll always be able to tell how much self-restraint lucy is using whenever any of the kids start crying (especially from lovestay letters)— she herself has a habit of looking up to the ceiling and catching the tears before they start to fall (chan is the opposite, he looks down and avoids eye contact).
being told she’s doing well and that someone is proud of her = lucy’s ultimate weakness. thank god lee minho is usually there to make her laugh/keep her from breaking.
lucy affectionately rubs han and jeongin’s back when they’re finally off stage to soothe them. she hugs her aussie kin extremely tightly, instinctively nuzzling her head into theirs and combing the hair on the back of their necks.
a process the kids know well (first witnessed with lucy and her brothers) but only on the rare occasion receive— though when it does happen, it shows how much lucy loves and cares for them.

fayeee !! omg is this a ritual now? i hope your weekend is as warm and delightful as you are !!
hyunjin is actually a really good answer – the way that he can convey emotion even without speaking is so incredible i am so in awe of him 🤩 honestly you're also right there, i think my answer would be jeongin !! he really wowed me in the noeasy 'thunderous' trailer so i would pin him as the best actor
anyway i had a really good day today, so i hope you did too :))
today's question is: kpop songs with the best summer vibes?
love,
🪐
it is it is, it’s our thing now uwu <333 i hope your day is as ravishing and darling as you are !
aaa yes the potential those two would have as actors <//3
i'm glad you had a good day, love; i'm having a lovely one too ! (guess our good wishes are working mehehe <3)
when it comes to kpop songs with summer vibes, the older ones always have a special place in my heart because my friends and i used to be obsessed with them throughout middle and highschool; it's songs like touch my body, shake it, and loving u by sistar (they were like the queens of summer </3), darling by girl's day (my then-bestie wouldn't stop playing it in class every morning before the school bell rings - this goes for literally every girl's day song ever hahhaha), falling in love by 2ne1 (mtv asia played this on tv a lil too much but i'm not complaining), view by shinee, beautiful night by BEAST, and bubble pop! by hyuna ! etc etc <3
i look forward to hearing your song choices ! sending lots of love 💕

K-Pop Spotlight: Stray Kids
Stray Kids are back with their noisiest and most memorable album yet. To celebrate, we caught up with the self-producing boy group to talk about their second full album NOEASY, the new single “Thunderous,” and some of the lessons they’ve learned in the three years since their debut. Check out our full interview below!
Get your Tumblr 2021 Year in Review →
Where did the inspiration for the album title NOEASY come from? Would you consider your Stray Kids sound to be noisy, and do you like that description?
Bang Chan: We did a little wordplay with the words “no easy” and “noisy,” meaning that in a world where things aren’t so easy, we will be noisier and noisier. I actually don’t mind people describing our music as noisy ’cause that’s what we’re trying to be. The loudest noise that everyone will remember!
Changbin: Since our title songs are typically powerful and performance-based, I’m sure some people think our music is a little noisy. With that said, some people enjoy that sort of energy. We also get energized and have fun on stage, so I think the expression “noisy” is a positive thing. The title NOEASY is a spirited response to all the noise that distracts us and gets in our way—to say that we’re not an easy match and we won’t back down.
You celebrated your third anniversary as a group earlier this year (congrats!)—what are some of the (harder) lessons you’ve learned over the years as a group that produces all of their own music?
Hyunjin: During these past three years, the things I’ve learned are the love of STAY and how to love more. Additionally, through countless performances, I think my stage skills have also improved.
HAN: I was amazed and thankful to learn that the songs I write and create can move people. I hope to continue making good music that will move more people and continue to touch their hearts!
Felix: I learned that it’s hard to reach many goals in life. However, over the past years, I’ve learned to ask for help and feedback from my members. As time goes by, we’ve strengthened our team play to overcome anything.
What’s the first song you remember loving, or what is one of your recent favorite songs?
Bang Chan: Out of Stray Kids songs? “Hellevator” because it was our first official song as Stray Kids.
Lee Know: I was told that when I was a child, I used to dance and sing along to the music on the radio that my parents would listen to. I think that’s when I first started loving music, but I can’t remember what those songs were!
Changbin: “개똥벌레” (T/N: This song translates to “Firefly” in Korean and is a nursery song.)
Hyunjin: I think my favorite song is “Secret Secret” because HAN and I share the same emotional wavelength, and the lyrics really resonated with me.
HAN: I really liked “D” by DEAN!
Felix: “Grow Up” is a song we always sang together with our STAY during our concerts and performances. This song brings back a lot of unforgettable memories for me.
Seungmin: Kim Dong Ryul’s “Drunken Truth”
I.N: My favorite song from this album is “Thunderous!”
Many of you were really into anime and exercise as your stress-relief/hobbies the last time we spoke. Tell us a little bit about what you are into these days, outside of your activities as Stray Kids.
Bang Chan: Umm, I’m still exercising daily, and these days I’ve been using Felix’s Switch to play games.
Lee Know: I either cook or go to a cafe to read a book.
Changbin: I like working out!
Hyunjin: I study art and draw. I like to have my own time of healing in my free time by watching other artists on YouTube.
HAN: I still watch anime, go on YouTube, work on music, and exercise. I think I tend to gravitate more towards things I can do at home rather than outside.
Felix: If I have the time, I go out bike riding, walk in the park, or look for some new recipes to cook for the people around me.
Seungmin: I’ve been enjoying taking vocal lessons and playing the guitar sometimes! I’ve also developed a deep interest in coffee, so I’ve been exploring different machines and flavors.
I.N: I recharge by laying in bed and watching YouTube or movies.
On these last few albums, we’ve seen some unit songs developed outside of the usual 3RACHA team. Do your members ever surprise or excite you by what they come up with when you’re working as a new unit?
Bang Chan: Yes, it’s always surprising and exciting! It’s really unexpected, and their ideas are really good, too, so it’s always fun to work as units.
Changbin: It’s even more inspiring and helpful when I hear other ideas outside of my own.

K-Pop Spotlight: TWICE
Nine-member girl group TWICE are back with their latest summer hit, “Alcohol-Free,” and a new mini-album, Taste of Love. To celebrate, we caught up with the group to chat about their new music, style and aesthetics, and their dream dinner dates. It’s been nearly six years since TWICE’s debut under JYP Entertainment, and the girls are as busy as ever: between juggling solo performance videos and projects, a reality show, and talk show appearances, there’s never been a better time to be a ONCE. Check out our full interview below!
Can you tell us the inspiration behind your new mini-album, Taste of Love, and what you hope your fans take away from it?
DAHYUN: The taste of love has very diverse charms: sweet, happy, special, etc. I hope our fans can share this warm feeling with each other and build memorable moments with TWICE this summer through Taste of Love.
TZUYU: The title track of Taste of Love, “Alcohol-Free,” is made from J. Y. Park’s inspirations. Other tracks’ lyrics were written by some of the members, which have their own interpretation about what Love tastes like. I hope our fans can experience the different definitions of taste of love through our new album.
The three different versions of your mini-album represent Taste, Fallen, and In Love—what do each of those terms mean to you, outside of your music and fans?
NAYEON: K-food for Taste, because K-food is always tasty. For Fallen, I would say spicy food and ice vanilla latte, and baby blue color for In Love. I’ve fallen in love with baby blue color, which is why the song I wrote the lyrics for in this album is about baby blue love.
CHAEYOUNG: All three terms expressed the feeling of falling in love after tasting. I can relate to this feeling when I eat strawberries. ONCEs know how much I love strawberries.
Who and/or what influences your overall aesthetic—from your music to your style to your fashion sense?
CHAEYOUNG: I think the music I create and the fashion I wear naturally reflect my favorite movie characters, photos, and collectibles. Therefore, I try as much as possible to discover new styles and to love what I already love deeper so that I can broaden my aesthetic.
SANA: My feeling at that exact moment. I try to express my current thoughts, feelings, atmosphere, mood, and interest through my aesthetic, so I guess the answer to this question is my own self.
This year marks six incredible and busy years since your debut—what advice would you give to women who are just starting out in the music industry?
MINA: Instead of copying others, if you really spend time with yourself and find your true self, you’ll be able to shine brighter than any other people. Loving yourself and believing what you think is right is the most important advice I’d like to give to future stars.
JIHYO: There is a saying in Korea, “Well begun is half done.” The courage to start itself can propel you to achieve so many things. Instead of doubting yourself, love yourself more and the work you make for the world. Before you know, you’ll be at the top of your world.
What is your self-care routine?
TZUYU: I always try to stay fit and healthy so that I can be with ONCE as long as I want and deliver the best performances! This motivation helps me take care of myself.
MOMO: Eating a lot and staying healthy by exercising. My self-care tip is to laugh out loud and smile since staying happy is the most powerful and important self-care routine. I try to spread this tip with TWICE’s members and ONCEs by making them laugh.
What’s your favorite lyric from your discography?
JEONGYEON: These days, I’m into “YOU IN MY HEART.” I want to perform this song in front of ONCE and treasure ONCEs’ individual faces and cheer in my heart.
JIHYO: I love the lyrics of “Feel Special.” The overarching storyline behind this song is that I’m able to smile again because of you. I especially like the first part of the song, “There are one of those days. Days when I suddenly feel all alone. When I feel like I don’t belong anywhere and my head is hanging down,” because everyone can relate to this moment. I hope “Feel Special” can energize whoever is experiencing these days out there!
If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
DAHYUN: My dad. Because I wasn’t able to spend a lot of time with my family after debut due to living apart, I would like to have healing moments eating warm and delicious dinner with my family.
MOMO: If it’s just one person, it’s too hard to decide, because there are so many people I like, including our very special fans, ONCE! If I can’t have dinner with each and every one of them, I’d rather have dinner by myself while connecting through livestream, eating all the food for ONCE.

Meet the Artist: Nastia
We’re currently highlighting some of our favorite women K-pop fan artists on Tumblr! Check back on Mondays for an introduction to these talented ladies.
Hello, I’m Nastia! I’m a full-time architect based in Russia, currently trying to balance my work and hobby—digital art. I’ve been into K-pop for six years, and it’s been an endless source of inspiration for me, with its music and strong visual concepts. My ultimate favorite groups are SHINee and Red Velvet, and I’m really weak for their main dancers, Seulgi and Taemin! In my art, I like to use vibrant colors and clean shapes, with occasional animated elements. Also, I really like drawing pretty girls. Nice to meet you!
Thanks for sharing your art with us, Nastia! For more of her incredible work, check out and follow @anajuise!
