^ Career

Pre-Debut and SEVENTEEN

Elara became acquainted with Seventeen in mid to late 2019 while still a non-celebrity. Her musical talents and creative vision were accidentally recognized by the group and their team, leading to off camera performances. After a period of informal involvement and initially appearing in behind the scenes of web content like Going Seventeen, performances and special digital collaborations, in 2020, Elara officially debuted as a member of the South Korean boy group Seventeen with the extended play Semicolon on October 19, under the stage name Lee Eunseo, a Korean name given to her by the group, after excessive support/demand from fans for her to join the group. 

As Seventeen’s 14th member, she contributed to songwriting, vocal arrangements, and storytelling aspects of the group's releases. Her presence brought a unique dimension to the group’s dynamics, noted for her warm but sharp stage presence, vocal tone, lyricism, and contributions to the group's conceptual direction.

2023–present: Solo Projects and Public Recognition

In 2023, Elara released her first solo single "Too Nice." Elara participated in the overall production process of the song, including lyrics and performance. 

In 2023, Elara and her bandmates Joshua and Hoshi were cast in TVING's reality show Bro and Marble in Dubai alongside Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Dong-hwi, Kyuhyun, Jee Seok-jin, Jo Se-ho and Lee Seung-gi. The show began airing in July that year, with Elara, Joshua and Hoshi's performances being well received.

In November 2024, she featured on BTS Jin's song "Heart on the Window" from his EP Happy.

Fashion 

In 2022, Elara made her first solo appearance at Chanel’s Seoul Pop-Up Showcase, where she was praised for her understated styling and elegance. In early 2023, she was featured in Harper's Bazaar Korea, wearing reinterpreted hanbok silhouettes by indie designer label MOA.STUDIO.

In 2022, Elara appeared at an event for French jeweler Cartier in Seoul, alongside bandmate Mingyu, and was later featured wearing the brand in the December issue of Dazed Korea. In February 2023, she attended Italian fashion house Marni’s Fall/Winter 2023 runway show in Tokyo. The following year, in February 2024, she accompanied Mingyu to French fashion house Dior’s show at Paris Fashion Week, where she was profiled by Vogue. In June 2024, she was present at the opening of Calvin Klein’s new global flagship store in Paris. On 16 August 2024, Elara became a model for Calvin Klein’s Fall 2024 campaign, joining Mingyu in a photoshoot by fashion photographer Park Jong Ha.

In January 2023, Elara attended Yves Saint Laurent’s Men's F/W 2023–24 Fashion Show at Paris Fashion Week with Jeonghan. Her appearance coincided with magazine pictorials for GQ Korea and Dispatch Korea, as well as a cover and fashion editorial for Elle Korea alongside bandmate Jun. Later that year, she also attended YSL’s 2024 Spring/Summer show in Berlin. In March 2024, she returned to Paris to attend YSL’s Men's F/W 2024 show with Jeonghan, where her appearance was featured in a fashion profile by VMan.

Ambassadorships

^ Public image

Elara Carson has been praised for her versatility, intellect, and relatability as both a performer and public figure. Known for balancing her career in the entertainment industry with her academic background, she is often cited as a role model for young women navigating STEM and creative fields simultaneously. Media outlets in South Korea and internationally have referred to her as a "new-generation icon" for her ability to shift seamlessly between idol schedules and solo projects, including academic presentations and panels.

Her interest in global issues, such as mental health, sustainability, and education, have furthered her appeal among older and younger fans alike. She is frequently noted for her humility, introspection and wits during interviews, as well as her fluency in multiple languages, which enables her to connect with a wide global audience.

She is admired for her position as both a former fan and now an idol herself. Having been an avid K-pop fan before debuting, she frequently references fan culture in interviews and variety shows, often joking that she can predict fan behavior because she ‘knows both sides now.’ Her playful remarks have led fans to joke that “nothing escapes” her, prompting memes and edits warning fellow fans to stay alert around her. This relatable yet elusive duality has become a defining part of her public image.

Despite her relatively low social media presence compared to other idols, Elara is known for engaging in interactions during live broadcasts and fan meets. Her close bond with the members of Seventeen has also gained public attention, with fans appreciating the mutual respect and care displayed among them.

She is often affectionately compared to Seventeen’s so-called “evil twins,” Jeonghan and Joshua, known for their mischievousness and unexpected teamworks, making them the, “evil trio.” While publicly soft-spoken and sweet, she has shown flashes of humor and sarcasm, especially in behind-the-scenes content and variety appearances, leading fans to dub her the “silent trickster” of the group. Much like Seventeen’s Jeonghan, whom she’s often grouped with as an unofficial “menace duo.” This dynamic has become a fan-favorite trope, further cementing her as an entertaining and unpredictable presence in Seventeen. Elara is also fondly called “Mini Moon” and “Bunny Angel.” 

Elara is widely recognized for her unwavering admiration for BTS, whom she has cited as her "emotional compass" and artistic inspiration since her early teens. Her genuine, long-standing support for the group has endeared her to ARMYs and Carats alike. This has led to the hybrid fan nickname “ARMY’s Princess”, for her loyalty and dedication to BTS.

-

^ Personal Life

Though private by nature, Elara has shared her struggles with sleep anxiety, academic pressure, and cultural identity. She speaks openly about mental health, and the balance between fame and self-worth. Known for her strong bond with Seventeen members, she often credits them for giving her the Korean name "Lee Eunseo" and helping her find a sense of family and belonging.

Hibari CSE!!!💜

I wanted to make a post dedicated to this event, like the last one! And just like the previous one, I got a LOT of merch again and this time it's all just my blorbo hahaha 🥰💜✨ I'm really so happy to be able to contribute for this event!

Here's the link to the list of artists who participated!

To be honest with you, I didn't really get to take much photos because between the motion sickness medicine side effects and the social anxiety draining me (aside from the fact that I accidentally sat on the front), I was really just focused on chilling while staying awake the whole event hahaha Also not to sound like a fangirl, but I got to sit next to one of the artists I really admire for this event again (and cosplayers too!), yippeeee!!! (maybe accidentally sitting at the front isn't too bad)

If you wanna see photos, then you can see them under this tag on twt sjhvfhdvfhds

One of the few I did take is the Hibari itabag I brought with me! This is the one Jojo gifted to me, and I made sure this is the most stacked itabag I've done so far. I even brought a few plushies with me plus the Hibari mini daki hehehe

A few artist gave away freebies too!!! Chrome and Alaude my beloveds ueueueue 🥹✨

Also, a cool thing about the artist kit I got is that the version f my postcard art that I got is the gold-foiled one the mods did a test on! I didn't really have a preference for it before, but lowkey, now I want to have gold-foiled merch of my art be made in the future?????? LIKE PLEASE ITS SO SHINY???? I AM FASCINATED???? 👀✨

Another thing is that, besides this event here in PH, the KR fans actually had their own Hibari event to celebrate his birthday too! They offered a trade with us, so we exchanged two pieces of merch with each other. They're so beautiful too! 🥰🥰🥰

Anyway, besides the kit, I actually won some prizes from the games and the raffle too!

I won the Hibari postcard from the first game where you have to guess what the title of the KHR song is just from the first 1-2 seconds of the song ahahahasfhvdsf It just so happens that the first one they played is one of the EDs I keep daydreaming an Oniyanagi version of and it's "Aoi Yume", I rose my hand so fast (even tho I planned to just chill).

Then the Dino & Tsuna cards were the prize from the Q&A game! The question was smth around "Who was the one who named Hibird?" and of course I know who that is!!! It's none other than my girlie, Haru 🥹💚✨ (if it's related to Hibird and cute girls, I will NEVER miss, your honor!)

LASTLY THAT HIBARI ICE CREAM TAPINUI!!! THE STARS ALIGNED FOR THAT!!! THE RNG GODS BLESSED ME BC THEY ACTUALLY RAFFLED THE ENTIRE TAPINUI SET WITH THE OTHER CHARACTERS, AND I NOT ONLY SOMEHOW HAPPENED TO GET MY NAME PICKED FOR THE RAFFLE, IT'S EVEN THE ONE WITH HIBARI SJBFSJDFBSHDBFSD 🙏🙏🙏 I DESERVE THIS!!! LIFE HAS BEEN SO CRUEL TO ME THE PAST MONTHS!!! I NEEDED THIS!!!

After the games and raffles, the auction for this stunning standee started! (it's 2 meters tall sdjhvfshfvh)

And I won without having to shell out too much, so I was saved from ice soup for the rest of the month HAHAHAIAUSGFHJSVFHSF My brother isn't with me (I'm too anxious to ask ppl to take pics of me!!!), so here's a blurry screenshot of me next to the standee from Jae's video sdjbfhjsdvfhsd (that's me with the height buff of thick sole shoes by the way 😭😭😭)

Anyway, I was so tired when I got home. I just passed out after I scheduled the Hibari bday post hahaha I'm looking forward to the next event, whenever it will be!

A Compilation of Official Cyberchase Polls (part 1/?)

Hello all,

While I was digging around in the Wayback Machine for old versions of the Cyberchase website, I was able to dig up some old polls that they put out for Earthlies. There are a few distinct eras of polls that evolved as the website evolved.

The first format features Dr. Marbles and some bar-graph based machine. I was only able to get two of them to load from this area, though the Wayback machine suggests that there are more archived.

The earliest archived instance that I could find was from February 2, 2002.

Who is your favorite Cyberkid?

Inez

Jackie

Matt

Here's one from June 21, 2002.

Why do you think Hacker is so mean?

His hardware is buggy

He's a cyborg

Nobody loves him

He was just born that way

Ouch. This was from the days of the "How It All Started" webcomics, where The Hacker decided to conquer Cyberspace shortly after his birth. So, of course, this poll wasn't going to be sympathetic or nuanced.

This format was changed when the site was updated to use flash. Here's the earliest version that I could load from this era. It was from January 19, 2009.

What is your favorite breakfast?

a) Eggs b) Pancakes c) Oatmeal d) Cereal

We got this one May 8, 2009.

What will you give your mom for Mother's Day?

a) A card and flowers b) Breakfast in bed c) A homemade gift d) Write a poem or story for her

I haven't found a way to access the poll results from the first two eras. The third era of polls claims that 368 different questions were asked. Many of the poll questions have been archived, though not all of them have the answers archived. Here are a few of my favorites.

This one is labelled poll #1, so I suppose it was the first one that they asked. They started off with a bang.

If Hacker accidentally left his wig at your house, what would you do?

a) Throw it in the trash b) Let your pet play with it c) Mail it back to him d) Wear it to school

My first question would be "How on earth did he get into my house?"

This one actually has preserved results.

Throw it in the trash: 125,483 votes 50% Let your pet play with it: 65,779 votes, 26% Mail it back to him: 27,690 votes, 11% Wear it to school: 34,341 votes, 14% Total 253,293 votes, 101% I am amazed that over 250,000 votes were cast. I don't know whether the site had a way to stop people from voting multiple times, however.

Here's poll #166.

Why does Hacker want to rule Cyberspace? a) He needs lots of attention b) He has no hobbies c) He thinks it would be cool d) He likes to be the boss

Unfortunately, this one doesn't appear to have its results preserved.

Here's poll #90.

What's your favorite Jackie show?

a) EcoHaven CSE b) And They Counted Happily Ever c) A Day at the Spa d) Eureeka e) Problem Solving in Shangri-La

The phrasing is interesting on this one. Would you consider these to be "Jackie shows" specifically? The kids all contribute to the problem solutions. I could see an argument for the Shangri-La episode, since she goes away from the others and discovers the poison numbers to win the game of Nim.

EcoHaven CSE: 1,516 votes, 13% And They Counted Happily Ever: 1,595 votes, 12% A Day at the Spa: 5,522 votes, 42% Eureeka: 1,493 votes, 11% Problem Solving in Shangri-La: 2,893 votes, 22% Total: 13,019 votes, 100%

Okay, here's one more.

Should Hacker ever win an episode? a) yes b) no c) only 1 episode!! d) never!! This one is fun to think about. A lot of fans love the shocking ending to the first part of Snelfu Snafu, where The Hacker takes over Cyberspace. Alot of fans also love the Transformatron Arc. While the kids were able to save some Cybersites during that arc, the episodes ended with The Hacker slipping away with another part to his infernal machine.

Unfortunately, this is another one where the results weren't archived.

I may post more of these later. I may even turn some of them into Tumblr polls.

[edwad]

If you had to pick one book to give background on the political economy Capital is criticizing would you suggest Rubin's History of Economic Thought? Any major issues you have with it? Also wonder what you think of Catherine Colliot-Thélène's claim in the afterword that: "If the ‘naturalness’ of economic laws is definitely illusory, the critique of political economy must deny the very existence of the object of political economy"?

rubin's history is written from a pretty sophisticated/defensible marxian perspective so it definitely has a lot going for it in that regard, but that is also its primary limit because it treats marx as the chief authority on the history of economic thought. this might be helpful for thinking through marx's project as he understood it, but it's not as good when it comes to taking a step back and estimating marx's performance by any other standard (eg 100 years of HET scholarship since rubin's text, 150 years since marx's, etc)

as far as the afterword goes, this message pushed me to take another look at it. i tried to read it a few years ago and found it basically indecipherable lmfao but this time it was pretty easy sailing so im not sure if im just more comfortable with the language now or what but it seemed to hit a lot similar notes to the kinds of things ive said here. it is very clearly indebted to a lot of the same post-althusserian stuff that ive been talking about (MCCT is cited approvingly several times and really seems to be the chief text that colliot-thélène is working with), so im sympathetic to some of the broad stroke theoretical problems being posed, but i would quibble with some of the assumptions at play.

she acknowledges the changes to marxs plans for the CoPE and even some of the theoretical transformations, but i think she draws too generously from the pre-capital marx of the grundrisse and the 59 contribution (or sometimes even further back to his work in the 40s!). there are both valuable texts for illuminating certain elements of marxs work/thinking, but you have to be careful in how you use these texts to make claims about marxs later work. she also has a tendency to hone in on the word "equilibrium" which comes out of the secondary material she's working with (namely MCCT) and not from marx, which then turns into her spending a lot of time hammering on about marxian equilibrium that i think is less textually justifiable than she believes, although it's crucial to her argument. how this bleeds into the stuff on "capital in general" is especially confusing because, as she notes, rosdolsky is probably right to believe that this approach to the object is dropped by marx (so why does this get held against him here?) etc etc.

regardless, it has an obvious family resemblance to the species of critique im working through, because she shares the same concern over the object of critique itself, but it is much narrower and i think too bogged down in categories which more properly belong to 20th century economics and the particular style of post-sraffian ricardo interpretation which dominated the minds of intellectual historians in CSE circles around the time she wrote this.

the result is that i think she misses the mark in pretty important ways, even if i think the conceptual difficulties of marxs categories are worth pointing out. the problem however is that these are the same kinds of issues which have been pointed out by clever marx-reconstructionists since rubin himself. this might be interesting marx scholarship, but it's not necessarily damning to his project, as all of the attempts to salvage him have made relatively clear (some of them have been quite successful even!)

when it comes to her specific claim about the naturalness of economic laws, i think this basically forfeits the epistemological element that she herself tries to raise. her entire critique could basically be summarized as follows:

marxs categories are non-empirical, but their merit is supposedly in their interconnections akin to an organic whole, so that, like a biological process, the invisible mechanisms are demonstrated in the surface results (relative prices etc). marx does this because the bourgeois economics which he is critiquing is modeled after natural science (specifically physics, although this is never really named in her critique), however the economy is not like a natural science at all. therefore we have to ask why marx's assumptions take this naturalistic assumption for granted if he is trying to prove that these are not natural categories etc etc.

this basically poses the question which marx himself tries to account for, as if he is failing for beginning with the exact problem she wishes he had addressed. its a very confusing place for her to end up, and i wonder if her afterword was rushed to completion because she suddenly reaches this point in the last couple of pages (the main criticism as you've quoted belongs to the last paragraph) after what strikes me as a very carefully written and thought-through piece until maybe the last third of the text. to suggest "if economic laws aren't natural then they must be fake so why bother trying to study them unless you're guilty of the same thing" fails to ask why the political economists would ever begin to conceive of the phenomena in this way. she is disinterested in the plausibility of the bourgeois conception, as if it's simply an erroneous collective accident and the fact that so many people's beliefs are structured this way isn't noteworthy once we admit that it's wrong. the irony is that, unlike marx, the result is that she basically takes this for granted by simply dismissing marx's immanent critique of it as being more of the same.

The thing which disturbs me most about the DDOS attacks on ao3 right now is that, predictably as fuck, "NSFW" and "LGBTQ+" content is the stated target (whether that's the actual motive or not), and the two things are equated in their undesirability.

Many of us know that attacks on "obscenity" in all kinds of art are disproportionately directed at queer art. Queer people's and sex workers' lives are under attack literally worldwide. Sex of any kind which doesn't make "legitimate" babies and contribute to the machinery of white supremacy is under legislative attack in the U.S. and "deviant" sexualities are outlawed or driven underground in other countries already (the U.S. helped create that situation in some cases). Our existence is obscene to many people who are taking over legislation and schools in the U.S. Our sexuality (whether we are allosexual or not) is obscene to them.

People (especially queers) who want ao3 to die because it hosts content they find immoral might maybe think twice, because hating on a site hosting works which exploit literally nobody does nothing to stop CSE or any other crime, and only feeds the ongoing moral panic over queer existence and sexual freedom.
