resources

i wanted to share some resources i found that discuss why it is harmful for those under the age of 18 to interact with adult content, such as the fics written on here and other websites. i am sharing this because i did not have this while i was growing up on the internet, and now that these resources are available, i want to educate as many people as i can on this. this is important topic and it should be talked about more, especially on this app.

i got these articles from @sailoryooons, so all credit goes to her for the first three posted on here. if i find any other articles or readings, i will be sure to link them here. if you have other resources you want to share as well, comment them and i will be sure to add them to this list.

Hihihi I just wanted to ask how world tour work and if their stressful :33

Oooo ok this is a good one!

TOURS

So tours are usually planned a few months in advance, some companies will do a year or 2 in advance but it depends on like the success of your groups and how big your fanbase is. The planning is done by your staff, managers, etc.

Touring can be so much fun honestly because you get to go to so many beautiful places and see so many cool stuff, my favorite part is getting to show my members around my home country and the places I’ve grown up. It’s also fun to introduce them to my family, have them try our foods and so much more things. Not all companies however have all countries in mind it’s usually just the ones they think are popular or care about but I script our tour stops usually so I don’t really run into this problem like I did when I was a baby shifter.

Usually your company will let you guys pick your set list, but they also will do a lot of them based on popularity of the songs. Like usually you will preform all title tracks that you have released since those are most popular but you and your members will also be able to pick the bsides and other songs for set lists. If you’re planning on having a solo stage then a lot of planning and practice goes into this before tour, and during sound check every set will be run through in order to avoid any mistakes.

All this aside, touring can also be very tiring. Especially if you are having a comeback near the end or middle because then dates become more closer and immediate/less spaced out?? (If that makes sense😭) in order for you guys to have time to go back to Korea for the comeback, if you have schedules then you will have your show and depending on when the schedule is you will usually be flown immediately to wherever said schedules is. (By schedules I mean events for brands and other shit like that). Some companies will give maybe a week or 2?? Cool down period before going to the next leg of the tour (like Asia, North America, South America, etc.) Some groups like twice for example does a complete different performance for each place they are going to so this means twice is practicing more than usual. Overall the most tiring part was traveling around often, going to the airport early in the morning, and very late practices.

For my personal experience for every tour I went on, we would sleep at hotels with the members sometimes it would be solo rooms or roommates (it would be really fun with roommates ngl), Concert outfits were entirely chosen by stylists but for solo stages we usually get a say in what we get to choose. My favorite moment of the concert was realizing that I was finally there. Everything just came to me naturally , all the training, practices, everything paid off to this very moment. It can still be stressful and pressuring but also very fun! But this was all my experiences so it might not be the same as yours.

Things I recommend you script: Tour edition

- you go to more places for tours (if shifting to a group where they don’t go many places)

- you always have the best outfits

- your solo stage!! Trust me this part is so fun fr

- no one ever has a wardrobe malfunction on stage

- there are never any technical difficulties (mics not working, sound issues, etc.)

@a-fish-learningtowalk

Let’s go back all the way to 2022. At the start of the year I found out about subliminals, so basically I was scrolling through YouTube and there was this video that popped up every time I refreshed my home page. It was something like “Glow up in a day” ,the thumbnail was a pretty girl and the video was like 1 minute and something long so I was like “why are they capping, glow up in a day and the literal video is 1 minute long??! What a sick joke” but out of curiosity I clicked it and then I was welcomed with MUSIC and then I was like “hah! I knew they were capping, this is just music!” But I went to the comment section and there were literally people saying

“Omg this is a masterpiece! My mom came to my room and told me how pretty I look”

Then someone was also like “this literally gave me results in a week.

Edit: A GIRL TOLD ME IN SCHOOL HOW PRETTY I LOOK!!!”

Those were the comments that I still remember cause they confused me the most. After that I was just like ???tf? But when I went to the description I saw a term “sub” few times and then there was used the term “subliminal” so I just assumed that the term sub was just short for subliminal.

I went and searched what the fuck did I just see aka I just searched what is subliminal. There was this woman in a video that explained it and at first i obviously was like “what the fuck? This is so cool and too good to be true” cause babe wdym I can listen to an audio that can change my appearance and all of that stuff.

Well that’s how I just viewed it to be which isn’t exactly the case.

I listened to some subs for the rest of the night but I was just so disappointed when I woke up the next day and saw no results and just immediately guessed that this was just plain cap. And after that I stopped listening to subliminal but the craziest part was like I totally forgot they existed like after that. (I will tell more later!)

Summer 2022

At this time I got into my k-pop phase I was constantly daydreaming of my group and how I wanted it to be, literally imagining scenarios throughout the day and I literally wrote in Pinterest “K-pop idol scenarios”💀 I was deadass.

Then in one scroll I found a bunch of scenarios from TikTok, (they were just screenshotted and put into Pinterest.) it was like “scenarios for your K-pop Dr” at first I was like tf is a Dr? But I just decided to ignore it and move on and just read the scenarios cause they were good but that Dr term continued to pop in every picture I saw and then I truly got curious. To which resulted in me searching what is a Dr? Google said it’s a short for desired reality, and I just assumed sum stupid shit.

Anyways 2022 came to an end. And I TOTALLY forgot about subliminals and K-pop idol scenarios and tf is a Dr. like I’m not joking I totally forgot those existed.

2023 start.

The year I turned 18, yippeee!! So the start of the year was somewhat ok, few months later I started getting problems with my parents. Arguments with my parents, especially dad increased like A LOT. My parents started to get mad at some stupid stuff, their temper was just like shit. School started pressuring and at that period I had A LOT of exams (I still do but 👀) I didn’t have time for myself and I also got sick a lot. And few months passed in this environment and at some point I just admitted that I feel anxious, stressed, suffocated and depressed. Then I got told that my aunt is suffering from this sickness and she needs to do surgery but they had financial issues and the surgery got postponed a lot due to the money missing and that didn’t help my aunt’s health at all. and bro feeling shitty isn’t a surprise at this point. At some stage I decided if this is the life I’m going to live, I don’t want to live at all. I was very su!c!dal, and I attempted like two times but luckily didn’t do it.

2023 summer

One subliminal popped into my YouTube page again, it was something like “goddess like beauty, confidence and a better self concept” thing I’m not sure and then I was like “oh right! These things exist!” And I just listened to it for fun and surprisingly I felt better in few days. And those were few of the best days in the last 6 months of my life. I started actively listening to subliminals and actively affirming. I’m talking about every morning and every night before I go to sleep at least for 30 minutes. And then dududuudud

I found a subliminal about reality shifting and then I again was like “wait? This is that reality traveling thing, how can I forget this?” And I actually asked myself why didn’t I try it before? The summer my journey was honestly mostly jokes and fun, didn’t take it seriously and just did it for the excitement it gave me. But about 2023 fall I actively started scripting and took the journey a bit more seriously than before.

2024 fall. Now.

I still got a lot to improve and a mindset to work on. But I’m just happy of where I am now. I found a reason to live for and like a dark tunnel where at the end you find the light. Shifting brought me hope and genuine peace knowing something like this exists. My aunt did the surgery and she is healing little by little but at least she can practice her normal day life,she still got some checks here and there but nothing compared to what she was in before. I seriously stopped listening to anti shifter since they are just trying to demotivate y’all and me too. If I haven’t found out about shifting I don’t think I would still be here. Shifting seriously finds us at the time we need it the most!

On August 28, SM Entertainment announced that Taeil had been removed from NCT for unspecified sexual offenses. On social media, Internet users noted that SM Entertainment immediately removed Taeil from the team instead of ordering him to take a longer break. SM Entertainment shared the news and statement before the Korean media reported it, which caused even more shock and led to speculation about the seriousness of the investigation.

K-pop Diaries

Request made by @ellis-realityshifting

Mini series I might do where I talk about what things are like as an idol from my experience. Please remember that just because this was my experience this does NOT mean that things are the same for every reality /your dr.

Training

Honestly training depends on the company you are in since each company does it differently but from my experience some companies allow you to stay in school while training and if you debut as a minor while others will want you to drop out due to the amount of time you are expected to commit as a trainee, and other times it is your choice. I’ve scripted certain things so being a trainee under really shitty companies wasn’t as bad but it still wasn’t good.

You have to audition to become a trainee and the audition process is different for locals and foreigners. I don’t know exactly what the audition process for locals are like but if your a foreigner the company will hold global auditions in your country and from there things will be determined. And then from there it’s really a waiting game til you get a callback and then you are expected to come to Korea for another udition in front of more staff (idk what to call this part😭). If you pass the audition in Korea then from there you are expected to start as a trainee but you will often need consent from a parent if you audition as a minor.

While being a trainee you are trained in rap, dance, and vocals and there are monthly evaluations. Most companies have a separate building for trainees separate from idols, you are also provided with dorms but so,e companies let their trainees stay at their house if local. Do keep in mind the group that you train with does not always mean you will debut with that group, and if the company feels like it they can remove you from the lineup of a potential group, disband this group and train them with other people or for a different group, or someone could leave the company as a whole therefore changing the whole lineup of your alleged group.

Sometimes you will be in the company years before they debut you, you will be there for a few months, or if they feel like you won’t be a good fit for their image/group then you will be kicked out of the company. If you have a scandal depending on the company you are under will determine whether they keep you or not (it also helps with what you script). Companies often kick trainees out when they feel they don’t know what to do with them or feel as though they don’t have enough talent to their own standards but again this depends on what company you are under. They can also force you on diets if they feel necessary however I scripted diets are not forced on idols or trainees especially the diet packs, ice only diets, and there are many more. I 100% think these should be scripted out but it’s honestly your choice.

Things I recommend you script: trainee edition

- Trainees get breaks during the day

- Foreign trainees and Korean trainees are treated equally

- trainees are allowed to use their phones during breaks

- You pass every evaluation

- if you choose to script a scandal please script you don’t get kicked out (unless it’s part of your dr)

- Trainees debt does not exist (Any debt really😭)

- You aren’t forced on diets (script these out as a whole honestly…..)

so RM put his foot down on the Frank Ocean thing on livestream, ngl, wasn’t expecting him to even talk about it at all, but good for him

***

Good for him indeed.

Really, just by doing that, he's made my day. A lot of people have many ideas about the kind of person Namjoon is, and while we have very limited visibility into their real lives, much of what I've seen people say about him is nearly entirely negative to the point it appears almost cartoonish to a lay observer. And today he showed again, exactly the sort of person he is, and I respect him for it.

I've watched him for years, seen him make blunders, face criticism, and course correct. I often joke that he can be a bit dense (most Korean men are and I feel this way about every member in BTS to varying degrees), but he's so much more aware and measured than a lot of people think. One reason he's impressive to me is because I suspect (controversial opinion ahead), there's a very deep and latent rage in him. Because he's actually quite sensitive, I think. He's grown to temper it, soften his responses, think through his actions many times. But he sees and feels and what he decides to show is carefully curated for a reason. Still, with Namjoon, what you see is what you get. He's a bit simple in that sense. Not perfect, very human, and oh so lovable for the millions of people who see him as he'd love be seen.

A human, before he does some art.
