sm entertainment officially announced ningning’s hiatus one month after her arrival at the rehab center.

they said she was taking time for herself in order to focus on her health and wellbeing. most people had no idea where she had gone. 

dispatch had no sightings of her for weeks. they did not even know when she was at the hospital either, to which everyone was thankful for. the company was shocked to know that the chinese idol was willing to get sent to rehab. 

however, despite the initial shock, they offered to pay for all the expenses and also said she could take all the time she needed in order to get better. 

the truth is bulletproof, there's no fooling you

i don't dress the same

yizhuo needed to be away from the city. she needed to be somewhere where she could find who she truly was. geoje was where the company decided to send her. it was a 4 hour drive from seoul, making it just far enough for her to get away, but also close enough for people to come visit. the city was right off the coast of busan, situated on an island connected to the mainland via bridges.

she would hate to admit it, but part of her never wanted to leave geoje. it was beautiful, and she felt like she could be herself within the sanctuary of the rehab center. it was a bit difficult at first, opening up to complete strangers about her issues, but she was willing to try her best.

that was all anyone expected of her here — to just try her best.

she had never had that environment. it felt nice to have such a change. it felt right. 

me and who you say i was yesterday

have gone our separate ways

most of the people who arrived at the center were older than she was, meaning they had no idea who she was. there was an older woman who worked as an instructor for an art class that the facility offered, and whenever ning would go in and draw, she would sing.

she had told yizhuo that she should become a singer when she gets out because her voice was outstanding. all the chinese girl could do was smile and laugh a little.

it was ironic for her. she used to love being known by everyone as “ningning from aespa”, but here she loved being unknown. when she arrived, she said she was an international student studying korean language at yonsei. 

it was a believable cover story, and no one questioned it. the anonymity was a relief. she could walk around without the weight of her idol identity. 

there were no fans to impress, no expectations to meet, no cameras capturing her every move. 

she could just be yizhuo, a young woman finding her way back to herself. 

left my living fast somewhere in the past

'cause that's for chasing cars

days at the center had a gentle rhythm. mornings began with a communal breakfast, where she’d chat with the other residents, exchanging stories of their pasts and dreams for the future. after breakfast, there were various therapy sessions. she found solace in group therapy, where she realized she wasn’t alone in her struggles. the stories she heard, though different from her own, were a reminder that everyone had their battles. in the afternoons, she often joined the art class. 

the instructor, mrs. lee was her name, was a kind-hearted woman in her sixties, with a voice that was both soothing and encouraging. she felt more of a mother to yizhuo than her own had. her words of praise and encouragement made ning feel seen, not as an idol, but as a person with potential beyond her public persona. 

it was different to have someone so maternal, but she thoroughly felt better. whenever it felt difficult to open up, she would talk to mrs. lee. she had a way of listening that made yizhuo feel understood, without judgment or pity. the idol realized all she ever needed was someone who wouldn’t pity her.

turns out open bars lead to broken hearts

and going way too far

the two became closer when the older woman found her crying after her first few sessions of therapy with the facility’s psychiatrist. mrs. lee never asked any questions, and simply just embraced the younger girl in a tight hug until yizhuo’s tears stopped. from that day forward, ning went to mrs. lee for everything.

“you're stronger than you think,” mrs. lee would often say, her aged eyes filled with kindness. “you’ve done well. only you can be the best version of yourself, for yourself.” these words resonated deeply with the young idol. she began to see her journey not as a series of failures, but as a testament to her resilience.

she was ning yizhuo, a girl who did the best she could. and that was all she could ever want to be.

take one, pour it out

it's not worth crying 'bout the things you can't erase

on days when she felt particularly overwhelmed, yizhuo would take long walks along the coast. the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks was therapeutic. ning had never been a fan of beaches (mostly because of the sand), but upon arriving in geoje, she fell in love with them.

at first, she would just walk to the steps that led down to the sand but not descend. she’d only lean against the railing and watch the water from above, not wanting to touch the sand. the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tides calmed her, the vastness of the ocean making her own problems seem smaller, more manageable. 

like tattoos and regrets

words i never meant and ones that got away

but as days turned into weeks, she found herself longing to be closer to the water. one morning, she took a deep breath and made her way down the steps. she hesitated at the bottom, toes just inches away from the sand. 

with a determined sigh, she stepped onto the beach, feeling the grainy texture beneath her feet. the initial discomfort faded as she walked along the shore, the cool water lapping at her ankles. it became a ritual for her—each day, she’d venture a little further, letting the sand and sea become her sanctuary. 

she began to see the beach not just as a place, but as a metaphor for her own journey—constantly changing, yet always moving forward.

left my living fast somewhere in the past

and took another road

the young woman found herself collecting different things from each trip to the shore. on some days it was a small rock, and others it was other things.

she often collected seashells to save them for you. they were like little pieces of happiness for her, just like you were.

sometimes, she’d even sit on a large rock by the water’s edge, watching the waves crash and retreat. one of the gifts you had given her before she left was a digital camera. without missing an evening, ning took photos of every sunset. 

it reminded her of you, after all. it was only fair of her to show you.

the beach was quiet. ningning hated the quiet before. now, she loved it.

quiet meant she could breathe. she had control of her thoughts and emotions. she no longer let her mind bully her.

turns out crowded rooms empty out as soon

there's somewhere else to go, oh

visitors were allowed to come once a week, meaning most of the time, her members all came to visit her together. of course, she didn’t have a visitor every week, but sm made sure to keep these visits out of the public’s prying eyes when you or her members did come and visit. 

karina usually brought her new stationary, minjeong brought snacks, and aeri would bring her new sd cards for her camera or clothes for the seasonal changes. although ning was away from everyone she knew, she never truly felt lonely.

she had made peace with her isolation. however, the only person she constantly missed was you. 

she’d never thought of ever writing a letter, but she was over the moon when she saw you had written her one a few weeks after she was sent to the facility. mrs. lee teased yizhuo by saying she’d never seen her really smile until she saw her reading the letter. ningning missed you more than she could understand. 

it wasn’t a bad feeling of longing either, but rather a feeling of curiosity for what you were doing at the moment. before she had left seoul, you had mentioned to yizhuo that you had broken up with aeri the night she was hospitalized. 

ningning didn’t need to ask any questions about it, she knew why it happened. you cared about ning. more than anyone else, or anything else. 

and she cared about you, too. more than anyone else, or anything.

i know i used to be crazy

messed up, but, god, was it fun

after being in rehab for 6 months, ningning was finally comfortable enough to return to seoul. 

on her last day there, mrs. lee had brought her a gift. it was a beautifully wrapped box with a note attached to it. the note read, “for the journey ahead. with love, mrs. lee.” ning carefully unwrapped the box, revealing a set of watercolor paints in a case with her initials on it.

mrs. lee smiled warmly. “i thought you might want to continue expressing yourself through art. remember, these are tools for your journey, just as much as your voice is.” tears welled up in yizhuo’s eyes as she hugged the older woman tightly. 

mrs. lee must have known who she really was. the idol decided not to question it.

“thank you for everything,” she whispered. “i’ll never forget what you’ve done for me.” mrs. lee simply patted her back gently. “go out there and show the world who you have always been. and never forget, you’re always welcome back here if you need to escape.”

i know i used to be wild

that's 'cause i used to be young

the facility threw the young idol a send off ceremony the day before she was leaving. there were games and delicious food, and even karaoke. naturally, yizhuo stole the show with her voice. mrs. lee had been taking photos and videos for the chinese girl on the camera you got her. even though rehab was tough, ning didn’t ever want to forget her time here. 

“i’ve learned a lot here. thank you all for helping me remember who i truly am.” yizhuo said with a warm smile as she bowed, concluding her parting speech.

the applause that followed was heartfelt, and ningning felt a sense of closure and gratitude. the friends she had made and the experiences she had shared in geoje were now a part of her story, a chapter she would cherish forever. 

as the evening wound down, yizhuo mingled with the staff and residents, sharing hugs and promises to keep in touch. later that night, she found herself back at the beach for one last walk. the moonlight danced on the waves, creating a serene scene. she took out the camera and captured a few final shots, wanting to hold on to this moment forever.

with a deep breath, she whispered a goodbye to the ocean, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. she was ready to move forward, but she would always carry a piece of this place with her. 

those wasted nights are not wasted

i remember every one

sm entertainment had expressed their excitement in regards to yizhuo feeling well enough to return to seoul. she was a bit nervous for facing the public and their questions to where she had been, but one thing the idol had learned was boundaries.

she didn’t have to tell the world where she had been. only the people who needed to know, knew.

ningning didn’t bring her phone with her to the facility. it was something the facility had requested before her initial arrival. it was quite the laugh when the chinese girl showed up with a mp3 player. however, the idol was thankful she downloaded as many songs as she could have because the upcoming 4 hour drive would be a bit more boring without it.

a car pulled up to the curb, and for a moment ning was confused. she couldn’t see who was inside because of the tinted windows, but when the passenger side window was lowered, she couldn’t help but smile.

i know i used to be crazy

that's 'cause i used to be young

you smiled and ning swore she was about to throw up from excitement. she practically bolted inside with her backpack and duffle, almost hitting her head on the roof when she got inside.

“hey, stranger,” you greeted her warmly, your eyes twinkling with joy. “ready to go home?” the chinese girl nodded, feeling a rush of emotions. she had missed you, she had missed seoul, she had missed her members.

 “more than ready.”

you tell me time has done changed me

that's fine, i've had a good run

“you didn’t forget anything, right?” you teased as you set the car into drive. the idol laughed at your remark before pretending to feign thought. “hm,” she hummed as she tapped her finger against her chin. “just this.”

ningning leaned over the center console and gave you a quick kiss on the cheek.

your cheeks flushed with a warm pink, and you couldn’t help but smile and roll your eyes playfully. “definitely not something to forget,” you replied, feeling a happy flutter in your chest. with one hand on the steering wheel, you took the other and intertwined your hand in the idol’s.

“let’s go home.”

i know i used to be crazy

that's 'cause i used to be young

Some questions. I’m not an anti, but a Taekooker who’s just trying to add things up…

- 2019 Taekook confuses me. Everything seems fine in non-company content, but then Taehyung goes on vacation with Wooga. Do you ever think the tattoo artist thing was JK acting out in retaliation for Taehyung choosing to spend time with Wooga? I saw some speculating that Jungkook and Taehyung spent time on that vacation together, but that doesn’t seem to add up to the way Jungkook was intently listening to Taehyung in the van during the first ep of BV 4. I know the speculation about the Jungkook stuff being to cover other stuff - and feel that Jungkook was being authentic during his final BV 4 interview when he said that he won’t let ARMY down, but let’s be honest he has to hide everything in his life, including his real personality and relationships. You’ve speculated that Taekook could have an open relationship-while I think that would be very tricky and they seem so enmeshed and possessive-part of me still wonders if they do. I am honestly not trying to make Jungkook look bad or make others question Taekook. I just can’t wrap my head around this.

- Thinking of the future, Taehyung and JK will get even more famous. I think it will be harder, not easier for them to be seen spending time together in public. Taehyung posted himself in Itaewon this weekend - where Jungkook is building his house, which I find intriguing. I’m not sure a landmark mansion like that in that part of Seoul lends itself to more privacy for their comings and goings. While I do think they’ll always be in a glass closet, I also feel they’ll have less to lose after military service so maybe they could be more free. I honestly hope they have other property together someplace where they can be themselves and have some anonymity.

- I’ve thought long and hard about what Jungkook and Taehyung have said about their lives and what they wanted when they were slightly younger. Jungkook has always been pretty clear about living alone. He says it during one of their photoshoots where he also says he’s going to have white curtains just like the ones in the studio they are taking pictures at in his apartment. Taehyung has alluded to “his son” many times. He’s not talking about Tannie because he said he was Yeontan’s father but became his brother when Yeontan went to live with his parents due to his schedule. Anyway, adopting as a single man is impossible in SK or from Japan….I remember the Japanese orphanage Taehyung visited. If he does want children with Kookie they will most likely need to figure that out in another country.

Anyway, seriously, I read your blog and hope you answer these questions in the spirit I’ve asked them. Again, not an anti, but someone who’s invested in Taekook and trying to think logically and critically about the questions I have. Thanks.

Hi there,

I'll try to help as best I can...

"Do you ever think the tattoo artist thing was JK acting out in retaliation for Taehyung choosing to spend time with Wooga?"

No, I think in 2019 Tae was dealing with a lot of stuff (possible depression and exhustion from the Love Yourself tour) and the time off was used to help reset that so spending time with friends was part of dealing with that.

"Jungkook and Taehyung spent time on that vacation together"

You have to remember, Tae's parents live/have a home in Geoje Island (the place JK was alleged to be caught with that tattooist), and Busan (where JK's parents live) is literally next to the island. It's not a stretch to assume that JK and Tae might have spent time there before Tae went to Jeju with Wooga.

"... doesn’t seem to add up to the way Jungkook was intently listening to Taehyung in the van during the first ep of BV 4."

Perhaps he simply wanted to know what and how much Tae would say.

"I know the speculation about the Jungkook stuff being to cover other stuff - and feel that Jungkook was being authentic during his final BV 4 interview when he said that he won’t let ARMY down"

I think a lot of that was the tattoos rather than the dating scandal, considering how quickly BH shot down the rumour

"You’ve speculated that Taekook could have an open relationship"

Never said that but think, if it were the case, it's no big deal.

"Taehyung and JK will get even more famous. I think it will be harder, not easier for them to be seen spending time together in public."

Janet Jackson (at the height of her fame) was able to high her marriage for 8 years. Similarly, Jodie foster was able to keep her relationship secret for several years. Point is celebrities, if they truly want to, will be able to find a way to keep things secret from the public. I feel, there are some older celebs (particularly still active Gen 2) out their that have been in long term relationships.

"Taehyung posted himself in Itaewon this weekend - where Jungkook is building his house, which I find intriguing. I’m not sure a landmark mansion like that in that part of Seoul lends itself to more privacy for their comings and goings."

The things to remember about Itaewon is who already lives there…

Most Chaebols, Foriegn diplomats and businessmen, and some of the most high profile Korean celebs, politicians who wish to remain private in their personal lives.

People who choose to live in Itaewon do so because it has some the highest security in Seoul and the ability to keep their private lives extremely private. Yes, you can walk round the streets of Itaewon, but literally on every major intersection are security stations. JK's house is next to two foreign Ambassador residences and a Chaebol. I think JK's privacy will be greater there than his current house.

"Jungkook has always been pretty clear about living alone."

Well he's a typical introvert, so yeah.

"Taehyung has alluded to “his son” many times… adopting as a single man is impossible in SK or from Japan….I remember the Japanese orphanage Taehyung visited. If he does want children with Kookie they will most likely need to figure that out in another country."

Well, since 2022, single people have the right to adopt so long as they meet certain requirements, and in the eyes of SK law Tae and JK are single people, so I think anything is possible.

I hope this helps.

The pictures are most likely from July. Back then people claims they saw Jimin and Jungkook in July, which everyone pretty much ignored because there was zero proof. Guess the rumour was true though. Just that Taehyung was with them too. Maybe the person who spotted them just didn't see him.

Jimin did cut his hair before September 1st, he said so. And Jungkook's hair looks different now too. And Taehyung also has been this white kind of blonde for a while now. The pictures are old.

And I still think the boat picture is from Busan. People found an identical sail boat in Geoje, near Busan, where Jungkook's uncle has a restaurant. Jeju does have sail boats too but the sails all have blue parts. Which the boat Jimin and Jungkook were on didn't have. So it's still very possible that they spend Chuseok together. Simply because we know their families are close. And if the picture was taken on a boat where Taehyung was too did they exclude Taehyung in their funny whale drawing? And why did Jimin just mention Jungkook? And why did Jungkook just mention Jimin? Sounds rude to me.

But obviously all speculation and I could be very wrong.

As of now, both JM and JK didn't include anyone else in the boat picture, whale drawing combo. It seems like it was a "them" thing, probably spending time in Busan. I've seen posts about the things you mentioned.

As to Jeju with Tae, I wonder if this changes what we're speculating about them filming content. Jikook were in CT, but maybe a Jeju trip as an episode/vlog will be maknae-line focused? Perhaps there's a Taekook, or a Vmin separate episode that we don't know about? I guess that's what's less clear now.

FABULA’s Oh Eunhye makes the audience laugh as she shows her excitement as a part-time assistant 

On the September 14th episode of ‘City Sushi Restaurant’, the cast members went to Geoje to prepare for their sixth business. In this episode, it was revealed that FABULA’s OH EUNHYE will appear as a part-time assistant in the sashimi kitchen. During one of the scenes, it was shown that one of the cast members was showing her how to handle cleaning the fish and EUNHYE’s enthusiasm and excitement caused the cast member and staff members to laugh.

Today’s episode is the first of the three parts that OH EUNHYE will be appearing on the show. She will appear on September 21 and 28’s episodes as well. You can tune in to ‘City Sushi Restaurant’ every Sunday at 10:30PM!

[ + / - ] eunhye’s excitement is such an infectious charm of hers! Every time I see her on variety shows, you can tell how thrilled she is to take on the task even if she’s terrible at it! [ + / - ] she’s really one of the most overrated idols in legacy… I really wished that they would stop putting her on variety shows because she’s so unbearable to watch…
