Kim Taeyoung “Tatter”

Being part of the most popular girl group in the third generation was something difficult, and it was worse when you were in a secret relationship with the lead vocalist of the band. Bebe debuted in 2015 right after the debut of Seventeen, and became one of the most popular groups under SM Entertainment.

You were one of the most popular among boys and idols, but everyone suspected that boys weren’t something you’re interested in. Rumors about you were everywhere: inside the company, in magazines, and on all social media. And it was needless to say that the rumors were true. Two years after the Bebe debut, you and Tatter started dating. Everything started as a friendship inside the practice room before your debut and years later became something more when both of you confessed after an emotional concert in Europe.

It was difficult to keep it a secret, and only all the team members knew about the relationship. They supported it even if there were the slightest probability of everything going to hell when people found out. But there was something that kept the two of you going, and it was the support of the fans. There were a lot of people who shipped you, and both of you knew it. At first, the skin ship between the lead singer and you was null, but when Tatter came to your room, she was very excited because she found a hashtag with your names and a lot of theories. You became more touchy with her.

People love the interaction; they have favorite moments, and one of them was the duo part you both have together on the cover of Better Than Gold from NCT Dream.

“It’s better, better, better, better than,” the group sang all together in the scenario with a thousand fans all around the stadium.

    “Ooh, na-na” Tatter sang, walking with a smile on her face while boys and girls screamed her name loudly. You walked behind her, getting closer with each step. “You oneul harureul” she stopped walking and moved her shoulders with the rhythm of the song, turning her head back to put it in your shoulder while you put your arm around her waist, making everyone scream louder.

     “Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love” you sang, and then walked away, winking at Tatter, knowing that tomorrow the internet would be full of videos of you two.

 

 

Lee Seoyoung “Lusher”

It was the 10th anniversary of Bebe, and the company decided to hold a commemoration concert in the Olympic Stadium in Seoul. The place was completely full, and all the tickets were sold out in two hours. A blue lightstick illuminated the whole arena, making all the members emotional and excited for the anniversary.

     “I just want to say to all of the fans that are here today and all of the ones that are behind those screens that I love you” With a soft voice, you said, and all the people who attended the concert screamed loudly. “I really appreciate the love you have given to us since the day you met us.”

“Yah, y/n stop being so cute” Lusher put her arm around your shoulders, hugging you hard, and the simple gesture made everyone scream even louder than before. Every fan shipped you and Lusher, there were a lot of theories around the internet, and they enjoyed even the smallest touch you gave each other.

But no one except for the members and the staff knew the truth about you two, and it was better that way. Even though a lot of articles from official websites surrounded the internet, neither you nor Seoyoung said a word about the relationship between you two. You two were just fifteen years old when Bebe debuted, and Lusher had a crush on you since then, but she never said a word, and in fact, if it weren’t for Bada you'd never know about it because Seoyoung thought that you loved her just like a best friend. 

It wasn’t until 2 years after the debut that Bada found out you liked Lusher too, and she freaked out instantly, telling you that Seoyoung had the same feelings. But you didn’t believe her at the beginning, and it was thanks to Kyma that you believed her word. After that, you confessed to Lusher.

“¡Better than gold! ¡Better than gold!” The public started to scream, asking for the famous cover, making the whole team laugh, but who were they to say no to their fans? Even if the song wasn’t originally from Bebe, everyone loved the cover. 

“Baby, you know, yeah, you know, yeah, you know. Yeah, you know gidaryeo watjanni” You started to sing with a flirty smile, pointing at the fans who got excited.

All the girls walked around the scenario while singing the popular cover, and all the fans sang along with you and your group members. Lusher stood at the center of the scenario, dancing to the rhythm of the song. You walked in her direction, looking her straight in the eyes, both knowing what was coming next. 

    “Ooh, na-na” you sang, putting your arms over Lushers shoulders while she put one of her hands on your waist. “you oneul harureul Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love” Seoyoung gave you a flirty smile while dancing.

     “tto la-la-la-la-la-la” both of you sang together, hearing the screaming of the fans who were 100% sure that you two were dating.

Lee Bada

The Christmas concert was the biggest event SM held every year. All the singers and groups attend the biggest celebration at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul. That night, Bebe and NCT Dream were together on the scenario after a long talk about how they should sing together Better than Gold.

After the mashup Bebe did of all the groups from the company on the SM anniversary, everyone went crazy with them singing Better than Gold, and a year later they released an official cover that went viral around the internet for months. Since then, the song has become part of their concerts, and for the Christmas presentation, the fans begged for the collaboration between Bebe and their hoobae.

You smile at Renjun who was singing next to you, excited to be in the same scenario as his sunbae. The whole stadium was illuminated with blue and green lights, and all the fans were screaming and singing with the two groups. And when Bada appeared next to you grabbing your hand and guiding you to walk through the big scenario with Jaemin and Renjun by your side, everyone went crazy.

The relationship you two had was known to everyone, even if any of you haven’t said a word of affirmation. The simple photos on your social media and the few words Bada has said in some interviews affirm the relationship. But it was a secret that everyone knew even before the debut, when Bebe used to have a pre-debut YouTube channel where you two always stuck to each other.

Both of you were considered the parents of the group; Bada was the strict mom, and you were the loving mother who always hugged them and kissed them the whole time. It was a funny combination because you two were always bickering; Bada was like oil and you were like water, but no matter how different you were, the love was big and beautiful.

     “Ooh, na-na” Renjun and you sang at the same time. Bada raised her hand up to your chin, making you flush and smile shyly with her touch. “You oneul harureul Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love”

     “tto la-la-la-la-la-la” with a smirk, Bada left with Jaemin to the other side of the scenario, leaving you a little bit nervous.

Lee Minah

   

Minah and you were the visuals of Bebe, Mina has the Korean beauty, while you have the foreign beauty. Everyone loved the two of you together; in photoshoots, songs, or videos, no matter what, both of you were always together. And it was something that fans asked for, but it was something that you two never wanted at first.

     That’s why when the cover of Better Than gold was filmed, the duo of Jaemin and Renjun was assigned to you two. And when the videos were released, people loved you and Minah together even more. The whole Bebe team and staff always make fun of it because, at first, in real life, you and Minah couldn’t stand each other; to you, the young girl was too stubborn and egocentric, and for Minah, you were too innocent and a saint, even if you were older than her. Your relationship with her was like a cat and dog, always running against each other.

     But things changed one day, when, in the middle of an interview, Minah said that she was always flustered and nervous around you whenever you had a photoshoot together. You thought she was joking and trying to get into your skin to make you mad, but when you tried to complain about the matter, she suddenly kissed you. And at that moment, the relationship began.

     “Hey Minah come here right now,” you said through the microphone, looking at the girl trying to sneak to the second floor of the scenario to get closer to the fans while the other girls continued singing Better Than Gold. "Everyone, look at Minah being so stubborn as usual."

     “Coming y/n Unnie” she said, rolling her eyes, knowing very well that you hate being called unnie.

      “Stop fighting and just kiss” Cheche joked, running behind Bada at the right moment, Minah ran in her direction. The girls were going to start chasing each other, but when Minah passed right next to you, you grabbed her by her arm.

     “Ooh, na-na” you grab her cheeks and sing, looking her right in the eyes, causing her to smile, amused. The whole stadium was covered by screams, and the other Bebe girls laughed, “you oneul harureul Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love”

       “tto la-la-la-la-la-la” Minah sang, then put her hand on your face and pushed you to run with you behind her.

Masterlist

Why does it have to rain today of all days? Is this how this city is welcoming me? Am I not wanted here? Well, you’re stuck with me now, city! I’m not going back to my shitty town and my shitty life. This is a new beginning. Y/N said, as she stacks some boxes on the floor of her new home in Seoul.

She moved here today, after she was offered a new job at an advertising company. She thought she needs a big change in her life. It’s not like her life in her country back in Europe was interesting. Yeah, she had a couple of really good friends there, and her sister, but that was it. She’s not interested in dating or having a man, she’d rather spend her free time on her hobbies and on herself.

One of her hobbies being kpop. She got into it when covid struck and she had to spend her time inside. Weeks and weeks of working from home and spending her entire free time at home, so she needed to find new ways to entertain herself. That’s how kpop came into her life. It was also a period in her life when she felt lonely, because she just ended a 2 year relationship. She put a lot into it, and let’s say she was more than disappointed when the guy told her out of nowhere that their relationship isn’t going anywhere. But that’s life, and she had to move on.

Now, this is like a new start for her, but she will focus on work and making herself happy. Starting a new life in a new country isn’t easy, but her luck is starting to change when she meets her new coworkers. Most of them are Korean, but there are also some foreigners that immediately try to talk to her and get to know her. She’s not a very open and social person, so it’s hard for her to open up and be all friendly with strangers. But Hana from work notices this about Y/N so she will make it her mission to befriend Y/N and make her feel at home. Hana knows how it must feel, she’s been in her shows when she moved to Seoul from Busan.

Hana: I think me and Y/N will be good friends, she seems genuine, so I’m going to invite her to have lunch with me today.

Maddy: Go ahead. I think she seems pretty arrogant to me.

Hana: Stop judging before you actually talk to the person, geez.

Maddy: Whatever, you do you.

So here you are, having lunch with this girl with bright brown eyes, named Hana who just seems so nice. It makes you want to be friendly and nice back. But you’re curious as why is she being like this with you, so you ask.

Y/N: Soooo… I don’t want you to think I am being rude or anything, but I am curious about why you approached me.

Hana: Well, I also moved from a different city like 2 years ago, and I know things must feel weird for you now.

Y/N: Yeah, it does feel weird. And I am not the most social person. I am a little concerned about how people will see me and if I will make any friends here.

Hana: Oh, don’t worry. I’ll be here, we can be friends. Deal?

Y/N: Deal.

Hana: Stick around me and you’ll end up with a lot of friends. You could say I’m pretty popular.

Then she winks cutely at you, smiling.

In these weeks that you have grown to know Hana, you have learned that she’s is indeed popular, she’s sweet, kind, had a ton of friends and acquaintances. She’s so cool, you think to yourself. Also, thank god she’s into stuff that you too like, for instance kpop. You haven’t met that many people that are into it. Strange, you think.

It’s Friday evening and a text from Hana pops up on your phone screen.

Hana banana: Y/N, I think it’s time

Y/N: Time for what, silly?

Hana banana: For you to meet some of my friends

Y/N: But I met your friends?

Hana banana: Naah, these are other friends that I haven’t told you about

Y/N: Ok?

Hana banana: But I needed to be sure about you

Y/N: What you mean?

Y/N: Hana?

Y/N: Hana banana?

But she didn’t reply that night. She called you the next day, saying she wants to come over to talk about her friends. Was she hung over from last night? How much did she have to drink? Was she drunk now? Did she drink first thing in the morning? What’s with the mystery? You scratched your head as you loaded the washing machine. You’re waken from your thoughts by the doorbell. Hana must be here. You open the door and she’s storming inside, with a big grin on her face.

Hana: Ok, here you are

Y/N: Yeah, I should be here, it’s my house. Are you drunk? Where did you disappear last night?

Hana: I was with my friends and I told them about you, so they got curious and told me to bring you next time I meet them.

Y/N: And are they like spies or something? What’s with the mystery? Are they aliens?

Hana: I was thinking to prank you and just not tell you who they were and see your face when you meet them, but it would not be fair. But you need to look your best if you’ll meet them

Y/N: It’s not like I look like shit when we go out

Hana: Y/N, come on. Sometimes you dress like a homeless person

Y/N: That’s how I like it?

Hana: Nooo, you need to look your best for this one

Y/N: I think the fuck not. Not dressing up for no man

Hana: It’s Jungkook. You’re going to meet Jungkook, bitch. He’s one of my friends. And all the 97 line.  Jaehyun is my cousin and sometimes he invites me to their dinners and hangouts with the other guys

Now… in your head there were conflicting thoughts. First thought was that this was a lie, there is no way in hell that the universe was so kind to you after all the shit you’re been trough in your life. She must be saying this to prank you, But what a stupid prank this is. Nobody should play games with you when it comes to your ult bias, JK. What is she thinking?

Y/N: You trying to die today?

You’re starting to get all red, you can feel it. You’re starting to get hot and angry. Angry at her for being such a pain in the ass. She knows you don’t like this type of shit, why is she doing this?

Hana: I am not lying!!! Look

As she takes her phone out her bag, she starts to show you photos and videos of her with the guys. Them, eating, drinking, taking night strolls, car rides, laughing, having fun

Remember that first thought? Scratch that. Those other thoughts? Irrelevant. Now you’re only thought was that one tik tok where Sponge Bob was putting on a maid outfit.

You grab Hana’s hands, look her in the eye and quiet sets between you two. You stay like that for a few moments. Then tears are forming in your eyes and they start to roll down your cheeks that are not a dark shade of pink, because you got angry before you got excited. You cry. You ugly cry.

Hana: What the fuck? Why you crying?

Y/N: What am I going to weaaaaaar?

What you’re going to wear. That was your fucking concern. Really? Well, duh!!! It’s Jungkook. He’ll see you. You. Why and how you’ve gotten so lucky, you don’t know. And the rest of the day you’re a ball of nerves, because you will see him tomorrow.

You can barely sleep that night. As usual, you spend your late hours in bed, watching Run BTS and Jungkook reels until you fall asleep. At 6 AM. You think you’re crazy and you will look like shit tomorrow. This is not the time to say I don’t give a shit how I look, I’m not going to look perfect for any man. But he’s not just any man, is he? No no. He’s the perfect man, you’re ideal man. How is he not everyone’s ideal man?

The next day you make sure to eat properly, to take extra care of your hair and skin, because you only got 4 hours of sleep last night. Thanks, Instagram for making reels a thing.

It’s 5 PM and Hana will be here any minute to pick you up. You’re feeling like shit. You feel like throwing up or shitting your pants, you don’t know which. You call you bff who’s back in your hometown. You’’re sure she’s awake, she’s a night person like you.

Y/N: Wifey, what am I going to do? What if I do something stupid in front of him? Should I just not open my mouth at all?

Bff: What? No, wtf! I mean, I know you’ll be weird and all, but just relax. Just be yourself, maybe try not to look like you trying to kill people, you know.

Y/N: Great talk!

Hana texts you she is downstairs. You grab your bag, check yourself in the mirror and leave your apartment. When you get into Hana’s car she starts whistling

Hana: Yooo, you looking for a girlfriend? I’m single.

You slap her shoulders and start blushing. But you know you’re mostly blushing because you know who you’re going to meet. But what if he’s not going to come? What if something happens and he can’t come? Shit! I wanna put my head into sand right now.

You arrive at the place you’re going to have dinner and drinks. You’re not much of a drinker, never been. In fact, you hate pretty much any taste of alcohol. It’s just not for you and your sensitive tasting buds. And you never try to drink just to please the people around you. No, you don’t care about that. So you won’t drink tonight either, unless they have something sweet. You like sweet alcohol, it’s tasty.

Hana walks in front of you, arriving to a private room and opens the door. You hear voices inside and your stomach shrinks into a little grain of sand. Oh god, I’m going to die!

She greets the people inside, everyone sounding friendly and nice, but then she moves. You were trying to hide behind her, but you’re been revealed now. You bow, greeting everyone. You’re so shy that you can’t even look them in the eye. At least not for more than 0,00001 seconds. You could be an octopus with how fast you feel your face changes color from normal to red. But you love octopuses, you find them cute. Your mind flies to octopuses when you’re meeting Jungkook. WTF. Focus!

Jungkook’s POV

You’re already at your second drink and you feel just a tiny tipsy. You hear the door opening and there is Hana. Oh, this means her new friends must be with her. But you can’t see the friend. You were about to ask about her, but then Hana moved from the way and there she was. Was she hiding behind Hana? That’s hilarious. She must be nervous, cute.

But when you see her, it’s like everything slows down. Like in those movies when the main character appears, looking all cool, and everyone is starring. This is how it felt. How can anyone be this attractive? Have I been drinking too much? I just had one glass, the hell. First thing you notice it’s her hair, because she was kind of looking down at first, then she bowed and her long, golden hair moved towards her face like the softest silk. You notice her big bright eyes, the way they avoided yours and that shy smile. She had a beautiful smile. She was wearing a cute short dress, revealing her shoulders and legs. Well, wow is all that you could say. Good thing nobody heard you. You hope.

Y/N’s POV

Hana points you to sit between her and Jaehyun. There is another girl there, and you find out it’s Eunwoo’s girlfriend. Wow, it must be crazy hard for them to hide their relationship from the public. I don’t really envy that, though. I wonder if Jungkook has a girl too. Jaehyun hands you the menu and tells you to pick whatever you like and he’ll order for you. What a gentleman, you think.

Y/N: Oh oh, beer and sprite.

Jaehyun: Interesting combo, never tried it.

Jungkook: Never to late to try new things.

He says that, while sipping from his glass, looking at you with hooded eyes.

Shit! Why are you doing that, Jungkook? I am weak! Stop with those eyes!!

You’re so happy when you mix your beer and sprite in your little glass and take a sip. The day got better and you feel like you can do this. Whenever you have your favorite stuff around, you feel more like home and it gives you confidence. Like your favorite drink, or food you like, or a song you love, or a doggo.

You’re pretty quiet, but that’s just you. You’re a die hard introvert and you take time to feel comfortable around new people. You’re happy thought that nobody says annoying stuff like “oh, you’re so quiet”, “You don’t talk?” and other shit strangers say to you when they first meet you. It annoys you to the Moon and back that some people are so unaware that not everyone is like them, extroverted, outgoing, super social, loud.

Sometimes, when you’re in a mood to put those types of people in their place, you fight back with “why are you so loud? Why do you talk so much?”. They get pissy, but you don’t care. You like your little bubble and you let only your people inside, the ones that care to understand.

You’ve had already 2 glasses of beer-sprite and a glass of strawberry soju. It’s sweet, you like this one. You feel a little social by this point, but still super shy to look at Jungkook. And what’s worse is that he’s just across the table, right in front of you. You need to look left or right to avoid his eyes. You only look his way when you’re sure he’s doing something and has his head turned away from you. But the alcohol is fucking with your eyes, so at some point and you think about admiring him a little more and you look. You look straight into his big eyes, because guess what. He was already looking at you. Good thing you’re sitting, because your knees become jelly. You do the unthinkable and for once in your life you don’t move your eyes. You keep them on him. And he keeps his eyes on you. What’s going on? Why is he looking at me? What do I do? Do I have something on my face? On god no, I must have something on my face, shit.

You must feel brave today, because you ask him:

Y/N: What’s wrong, do I have something on my face?

But you’re dead serious and while touching your face. He giggles

Jungkook: No no, you’re good. Sorry, I think I was starring too hard.

He takes another sip of his drink, while saying “cute” in a low voice, but you heard it and it made you blush. You felt like a big ball of lava right now. The Jungkook thinks you’re cute. The universe must be joking right now, making fun of you. Is this a dream? Have I hit my head one day and I’ve been in this dream since? When did your life become this? You were never a lucky person and it feels weird.

You observe Mingyu in the corner of your eye, kind of like trying to start a conversation with you. You don’t know much about him, you just know he’s Jungkook’s friend and he’s also in a band, but that’s about it. He starts to fiddle in his seat, you feel his eyes on you.

Hana: What’s with you, Mingyu? You seem a little agitated.

Mingyu: Oh, nothing. Just trying to hop into the conversation you’re having with your friend. I’ve heard something about going to a concert next week?

Hana: Yeah, I want to introduce Y/N to the kpop concert life, she hasn’t been to any so far and I think that’s wack.

Mingyu: You really must go, you’ll love it. What show you’re going to?

Hana: Ateez, we love them. You know I have a thing for Mingi.

You push her shoulder a little, knowing what she’s thinking right now, because you know your friend has a dirty mind.

Y/N: Girl, behave, not in front of my beer.

Mingyu: Oh, so who’s your Ateez bias then, Y/N?

Y/N: Yeosang. You answer shily.

Mingyu: Really now. And why is he your bias?

You feel Jungkook’s eyes on you and a rush of heat runs through your body.

Y/N: Well, I like his personality. He’s introverted and shy, has a great sense of humor, and he’s hot but at the same time really cute and adorable.

Mingyu nods like he’s in agreement, and then he’s asking the craziest question.

Mingyu: Who’s your bias in BTS?

You choke and you feel like you don’t know what words are. What’s speaking?

Y/N: I won’t tell you, since Jungkook is here. It feels weird

Mingyu: Oh, come oooon! Pleaaase?

Jungkook: Dude, it doesn’t matter. She’s right. I am here. Maybe you’ll find out another time when I’m not here.

Ugh, your savior. How can he be more perfect? He saved you when you were feeling awkward.

Mingyu: Damn, was just trying to make the night more interesting. Sorry, guys.

He says with a pout, the others teasing him. He seems like a big puppy. He’s so tall but so tiny at the same time.

The food is here. You let them order whatever they wanted, you had no idea what to choose. You just knew you don’t anything too spicy or weird. You can’t wait to eat, because you feel fucking hungry. You’re not something to shy away from eating, and even eating a lot. So you start with some soup, then some steak and all kind of grilled stuff. You just love Korean food, so tasty and filled with different flavors. You wish your best friend was here with you. You think to yourself that this is the happiest you’ve ever been. Eating delicious food and being in the same room with your ult bias. What could be better than this?

Well it could be better than this, but that’s another story, something you fantasize about when you’re alone.

Jungkook and Mingyu, seeing as you enjoy the food, the offer to help you with the meat. They put it on the grill and cook it for you, then put it on your plate.

Hana: Wow, guys, you’ve never done that for me. What’s this, now? Acting nice for the new girl?

Mingyu: She has been nice to us, you’re mean.

Jungkook starts to laugh, because he knows Hana always teases and bullies Mingyu. They all tease him and they do it because he never gets upset, he’s just that nice and soft for his friends and everyone loves him for that.

Mingyu, being the extroverted guy that he is, tries to find out more about you, so he goes crazy with the questions. He’s also had a few glasses, so you answer all his curiosities.

Mingyu: So, Y/N, tell me.

Y/N: Yes, Mingyu?

A pinch of pink appears on his cheeks, hearing his name on your lips, sounding so pretty.

Mingyu: Well, how did you end up in Seoul, why this city?

Y/N: Umm, long story, but to make it short, I have been a fan of Korean cinema, then started watching dramas too, then I thought I want to learn the language because it sounded so interesting. I already knew English pretty well, Spanish, and a little of French and german, so I wanted something different. Then stuff happened in my personal life and I needed a big change, so my boos from back home told me about this job opportunity in Seoul, since she knew I spoke the language already. I didn’t think about it, I just booked a flight and here I am.

Jungkook: Your Korean is really good, though and you know so many other languages, wow. You’re really smart.

Y/N: Oh, thank you.

Now you feel yourself blushing again, but what’s new.

Mingyu: Do you have a boyfriend?

You almost choked on your food. This man.

Hana: You have no shame today, Gyu.

Mingyu: Hey, we’re just getting to know each other here, we’re practically friends now. Right, Y/N?

Y/N: Umm, I guess?

Jungkook: So?

You look at Jungkook, trying to figure out what he’s trying to say. But all he does is lay back on his seat and manspread, with a grin on his face. You feel like going crazy. He knows what he’s doing. Does he know he’s my bias? Could he? Maybe he reads minds. Oh, I hope not!!!

Y/N: What?

Jungkook: Do you have a boyfriend?

Y/N: Oh!! I don’t, no.

Mingyu: Why not? If that’s not too much to ask.

Hana: Oh, this is going to be good.

She knows your life story and your history with guys and relationships, so she knows you have a lot to say about this.

Y/N: You really want to know? I can give a formal short answer or a genuine longer answer. Which one is it?

Jungkook: Long answer.

The whole room is now looking at you, curious about what you have to say. People are always curious about this type of stuff. You are too, you have to admit. And not in the Oh, I like gossip type of way, but you like to hear about other people’s love stories and why they didn’t work out.

Y/N: I don’t trust men. I used to. Big mistake, because whenever I put my trust in one, I would get disappointed again. My last relationship was a disaster. I felt used, like he came into my life, promised the world, then after he got what he needed, he left. I invested so much time, energy, feelings into it and all I got was emptiness. I tried dating a few times after that, but everything felt so shallow. Nobody with real good intentions. Everyone felt so fake, so I stopped everything. Why waste my time on people that don’t care about me? No. And you know what? Unless some guy shows up, really doing everything to show me he’s a real person with real feelings and not some stupid cardboard box, then I might consider giving him a chance. I’m just happier alone.

Hana: Mingyu wouldn’t know about that, he’s got a new girl every other month.

Everyone starts to giggle and you’re surprised but not really, because he’s a really attractive guy. And he seems to have it all.

Mingyu: Wow, you say such nice things about me, Hana. You’re just the best.

You laugh, you find him funny and charismatic. No wonder he’s getting so many girls.

Jungkook: Guys, come on, leave my man alone. He’s not that slutty. He’s just overly friendly and excited so he can give the wrong impression.

Mingyu gives a proud smile, hearing his bestie taking his side. Finally, someone takes his side, he thinks.

Y/N: But what about you guys, how hard is it to have a romantic life in your situation?

Mingyu pouts, Jungkook tilts his head and looks like he’s thinking, Jaehyun shrugs.

Eunwoo: In my case, all I can say is that it’s really difficult. You put your career on the line, but when you meet someone you really like, you can’t just ignore the feelings. You can’t live just for your work, you’re not a machine.

Mingyu: It fucking sucks, I barely have time for a romantic life. Things are getting really intense at work lately and I need to be there for me and for my members.

You look at Jungkook, who’s taking a soju shot, waiting for him to give a response too. You really want to know, it burns you to know.

He realizes you are waiting for him to say something, so he tries to change the subject.

Jungkook: Let’s do shots before we end this night?

And the hands you a glass of shot, you drink it, looking at him. He’s avoiding your eyes for the rest of the night and it’s not long until you all need to leave. The restaurant is closing, it’s past midnight and tomorrow it’s a work day. Shit, you have so much work to do tomorrow and here you are, a little drunk., wondering why Jungkook didn’t answer your question and why he didn’t look at you the rest of the time.

You all give your goodbyes and the guys are telling you how glad they are to have met you and that they will see you next time. You feel Jungkook’s eyes burning into your skull, and when you turn to him you catch him starring so you give him a little smile with a “goodnight”. He bows and smiles then turns and walks with Mingyu to the direction where a car is waiting for them.

You felt sadness. Sadness because this night was over, because you thought that you were weird and they didn’t like you. Shit, you met your bias of biases and you’re glad you didn’t shit yourself when he looked in your direction. You felt a little proud of yourself for not acting like a crazy fan. You always thought that if you met any of your favorite artists, you would just be quiet and act normal, trying to not make them feel uncomfortable. That’s what everyone should do, right?

You’re also trying really hard not to be too delulu right now, after meeting him. You can’t wait to tell your bestie about it, too bad she’s sleeping at this hour, must be really early in the morning there. Oh well, I’ll just take a shower and go to sleep. Who knows, maybe the universe is starting to like me and I will see him again.

Next morning you wake up all sweaty and worked up. You had a sex dream about Jungkook. Damn, it felt so real, wtf. Stupid brain, let me function today! You arrive at the office and you find Hana waiting at your desk, two cups of hot cocoa. She known you hate coffee, and what else could you drink on a cold march morning?

Hana: I figured you’ll be a little hungover, we had a lot to drink. Well, me. You were lightweight.

Y/N: Ugh, you’re a life saver. Thanks for the cocoa, I love it.

Hana: So what did you think?

Y/N: About last night?

Hana: Duh! Did you feel weird or it was fun? Want me to get a signed photocard from JK?

Y/N: Nooo, I would feel so embarrassed. But I really enjoyed it. They seem like normal people, though Jungkook is a little reserved. So mysterious, no?

Hana: Hm, maybe because you were there. He was a little more quiet last night though, but so were you. I could see you two being a couple.

Y/N: Omg, stop! I’m not that delulu, girl.

Hana: You never know.

2023 - 2024 World Predictions

Hello! It has been a while since I last posted. Though it's more than half way through 2023, I thought it'd be fun to do a 2023-2024 world predictions. Keep in mind that these are just predictions so they may or may not come true.

Metoo movements will continue to explode/arise throughout different countries, especially in Asia and parts of Europe.

Upcoming elections will cause a lot of scandals/news of corruption to come to light, especially in North America and parts of Asia.

A few top leaders will be scrutinized for being hypocritical/sexist/corrupt or will have rumors/be charged with some sort of crime like sexual assault, illegal possession of drugs, money laundering etc.

Several well-liked/clean image celebrities in Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, and possibly Thailand will likely have scandals that will surprise the world.

2 - 4 dating news will come to light regarding kpop idols/actors/actresses. A couple may be top kpop group members dating or fellow actors/actresses dating one another.

2 - 5 marriage news of kpop idols will likely be announced, several rather unexpectedly.

2 - 4 popular kpop idol groups will either disband or lose 1 - 3 key members.

Cancellations of concerts, programs, or events will be more likely to happen due to unexpected things like bad weather, scandals, deaths, sickness, etc.

A kpop company will likely be exposed for some shady business/unethical practices.

1 - 4 major lawsuits b/t kpop idols or Korean actors/actresses and their companies or even family members or others will likely happen.

Several popular celebrity couples will divorce or break up and some will result in nasty divorce lawsuits.

The global economy will continue to suffer until later in 2024. Interest rates are likely to stay high and many people are likely to become unable to pay their mortgage due to the sudden increase in interest rates. Also expect many layoffs and employers finding ways to cut costs. Employees will generally face difficulty with their employers during this period (lots of bullying from employers on the rise).

A few celebrity's kids will come out and reveal some problems with their families or even have the police involved with their family matters.

What has come true so far:

Allegation against Dwight Howard for sexual assault: https://basketnews.com/news-192433-dwight-howard-sued-for-allegedly-sexually-assaulting-a-man.html

[suuho]

imo european kpop fans (or non-asia located kpop fans in general) need to get better at organizing. the reason kpop companies feel that they have the audacity to fuck us over time and time again is because we never move as a united front. it's not just concert pricing and touring dates, it's also cultural appropriation and racism scandals, homophobia, anti-semitism, fatphobia etc etc. western kpop fans rarely actually pull through when they criticize idols/companies on their behavior. boycotts don't last, threats are empty. of course companies don't give a fuck because their bottom line is never in jeopardy

i do, well. partly agree with this. there is an absolute difference in how kpop companies handle any non-american fans and if you think there isn’t, then. the entire argument already falls apart. especially in the past two to three years, there has been a definite shift in the way kpop companies have promoted in the west and that is the very distinct, obvious focus on the north-american market. hybe, for example, had an entire strategy that entirely focused on north-american promo and that was the sole goal for hybe after they established hybe america. (why do i know this? because my best friend worked at the american branch of hybe for over a year)

and it is evident. you saw the first bits and pieces of this shift when superm had their debut on an american tv show, when they sent bts to the billboard awards, and everything that has happened after. nct 127 has had an entire american tour last/this year and absolutely no dates for all other non-asian countries. seventeen has excluded anything that is neither america nor asia on their recent “world” tour. the truth is, that european fans get a few tours by smaller artists and groups, and other than that we only get well known performers in festivals. that wasn’t the case before covid; seventeen’s an ode tour was supposed to have european tour dates (that got cancelled), pentagon toured europe in tiny venues, it goes on and on. just saying.

so to speak of all western kpop fans like that is wrong, imo, because there is definitely a difference in how american stans are treated by these companies. they get WAY more. tour dates, extra album versions, events, all sorts of benefits, you name it.

other than that, kpop stans never had much of a backbone, so i agree with you. but that doesn’t change the fact that these companies treat america very differently compared to europe. (the treatment of non-european and non-american fans/places is a other whole can of worms that i will not get into now). but even so, look at international exols. they are treating exo way better than kexols, are actually a pretty united front, and yet we get nothing. all to say that this is a discussion with a lot of layers; i hear you and i partly agree with you but i think it is not simply down to the fact that they can fuck us over easily. i think there is also something to be said about making the demand known (and it should be known, look at how ateez sold out their european tour. same goes for blackpink. but these all had somewhat better organization, and yet european atinys were completely fucked over compared to ustinys).

[sluttyten]

I am so excited to see what the other songs on this album will be like 😩 I'm so glad I was in my car when I saw the photos and video, because I made questionable noises and my coworkers would have thought I was crazy 😂

And Jisung!!! I only just got into Dream (and all of NCT) at the end of 2022, so idk how much this opinion matters, but it truly feels like this is his comeback era. Idk what it is, but his lines in Broken Melodies had me in a chokehold, and now this new photo!? It's making me question my current list, that's for sure

But yeah, I'm still going crazy over Dream 🫠 and I'm not sure I'm going to be patient enough to wait until August for this album to be released.

-@seungcheollies-cake

Me too! I’ve loved Broken Melodies since the first listen! Poison sounds amazing too, and also every single Dream album is pretty much nothing but terrific songs, so I’m sure this one will be pretty much the same in that regard

I also fully agree that this is Jisung’s era! Like I don’t know if he’s just more confident, if it’s the way the stylists are styling him and the company’s decision of the lines to give him, or if he’s just grown up more and this era is really gonna showcase that

The album releases the middle of this month for us to listen to! And if you order it from Korea or pretty much any US-based kpop store you should be getting it around that time. As far as I’m aware though, places like Target, WalMart, and o think maybe Amazon aren’t releasing it until mid-August for whatever reason. That’s one thing I just don’t understand is the staggered release dates between Korea and US/other places in the world (because didn’t they stagger the Europe and South American release too?)

[nunap]

Dreamcatcher s concerts in Europe are the main example on why kpop is a money machine that works perfectly mostly In crazy capitalistic places like the USA or Korean or Japan. It's not that kpop groups don't have many fans here(although they have lesser and it depends on global popularity) it's that kpop companies don't understand that if you lower the prices here and get proper locations and tell people dates months not weeks in advanced you'll get sold out shows. Real sold out not fake to sell more.

Ateez reacting to their s/o’s friend flirting with them

❦ Genre: Fluff.

❦ Pairing: OT8.

❦ Word count: 15k.

❦ Requested: Yes, thank you! 🦋 

❦ Masterlist.

❦ Warning: ⚠️ The friend’s name used here are not related to an Kpop Idol or Korean public figure. This was just inspiration.

HONGJOONG

You invited your friend Seungyeon for a girl’s night. Because of your work and studies, you didn’t have enough time to spend some time with the first friend you’ve made when you came to Korea. As always, it would be a good and chill sleepover. You would order pizzas from your favorite restaurant and gossip in front of a movie. So cliché. You were about to talk about Seungyeon’s crush when you saw Hongjoong entering the apartment. “Oh? Am I ruining something?” He asked, scratching his head a bit embarrassed.

You stood up to greet your boyfriend. “Hello Sir!” You kissed his cheek. “I forgot to tell you I was with Seungyeon tonight.” “Ah,” he bowed politely toward her. “Nice to meet you.” “Oh, really grateful to meet you too,” she smirked. “Maybe I should come back tomorrow?” Your friend walked quickly between both of you and pulled Hongjoong by his arm. “No! Just sit down so we can talk with you.” Hongjoong chuckled a bit, visibly embarrassed but accepted and sat down next to Seungyeon. For the rest of the night, you noticed that your supposed friend was too touchy with your boyfriend. She was asking him a bunch of questions, erasing you from the conversation. Hongjoong tried few times to interact with you, but in vain. She was always there, getting his attention back. You understood that she was flirting with him. And in front of you. “Well I think you should leave,” said Hongjoong standing up, arms crossed on his chest. “What? The party just started.”She replied. “It’s better if we stop here.” “What? Why?” You scoffed, “you’re flirting with my boyfriend in front of me and you are asking why?” Hongjoong stood up in front of you, knowing that you could beat her ass without hesitation. “I’m not flirting. I’m just trying to be nice.” “You better leave now.” Advised Hongjoong. Seungyeon grabbed her stuff back, clearly scared of the deadly stare she felt on her. In a matter of time, she left. “Babe...” you started. “I can’t believe you didn’t beat her ass earlier.” He claimed an angelic look on his face.

SEONGHWA

You were chilling with your friend and your boyfriend. You were not really close to Minah but you were a bit stressed. It was the first time she met your boyfriend and she was known to be a bit rude with men. But unexpectedly, she was kind of nice and joyful today. “So Hwa,” she started. “How it feels to be an idol?” “Hwa?” He raised his eyebrow. “It’s exactly how Y/N is calling me.” You smiled a bit at his comment. “But it’s exceptional. I really like being an idol and stuff.” He simply replied. “Yes it might be really exciting.” She winked. You didn’t notice that she was clearly hitting on your boyfriend and just in front of you. You just thought that she was acting nice even polite. “So... what’s your plan for tonight?” “Hum... this is not really defined but maybe chill at the dorm.” You replied, looking at Seonghwa. “Good idea, I’m tired and a good movie will help me to relax.” “Oh I kn-” you started. “You know what is good for relaxation? Massage!” She snapped. “And lucky for you I’m good at giving massage!” “What about ordering Chinese food too?” He ignored her. “Huh yes sure.” You answered a bit lost. “Y/N? Can you grab another coffee for me? An expresso.” Asked Minah, handing some cash. “Sure. Sugar?” “Nop, thank you love.” Just when you went to the queue, Seonghwa stared intensely at your friend. “Why are you looking at me like that?” She smiled. “Do you think it’s a good idea to flirt with your friend’s boyfriend?” He asked straight. “Oh come on... you are even not really into her.” She rolled her eyes. “When Y/N was talking about you I never thought you would be so mean and selfish.” “You have a strange way to confess Park Seonghwa.” “Listen.” He sat up correctly. “I don’t like you. Friendly or lovingly. Nothing will happen between us because I’m with Y/N and I’m in love with her. And her only.” He explained seriously just before you came back. “Here’s your order princess.” You said, sitting back on your chair. “What did I miss?” “Nothing special,” smiled Seonghwa. “I was just saying how much we are lucky to have you.”

YUNHO

Yunho was meeting your closest friend Ahin today. You met her randomly at a party. Both of you were bored so you ended talking the whole night together. After that, you ended seeing each other a lot. You talked about her with Yunho, almost every day: “Ahin this”, “Ahin that”. Your boyfriend was probably done hearing this the whole day, but he just accepted it and nodded at each gossip. When he told you that they should meet-up one day, you were so excited. So, you planned a good moment with your favorite people. “Ahin!” You stood up, waving to your friend who entered the cafe. She waved back at you and rushed to the table. “Hello Yunho!” She greeted your boyfriend. “Y/N talked a lot about you!” “Same for you,” replied Yunho, smiling widely. “Oh really? I hope she only said good things!” She claimed, sitting in front of you. “Of course.” He giggled. “She told me that you went to a famous university in France.” “Yes, for 3 years.” She answered. “I think you would like Paris, it’s pretty cool!” “I went there for our world tour. It’s beautiful!” He smiled again. “I really want to visit Europe. I heard so many good things about it.” You added, entering the conversation. “I hope I can be your guide one day.” She pushed his arm lightly. You stared at your boyfriend for a sec. He made a head sign, telling you that he ignored how to act. “Ahin, do you have any news about your boyfriend?” You asked, trying to stop this weird interaction. “We broke up.” She simply replied before sipping her ice americano. “Too different.” She shrugged. “I need someone who can understand me.” The look she gave to Yunho was really sensual. Too much for your liking. “Are you really flirting with me right now?” He asked, before you could ask the same question. She almost chocked with her drink. “I’m just nice.” “Friends my ass.” You stood up, grabbing your bag. “Let’s go babe.” You smiled at Yunho, following you. Your boyfriend didn’t hesitate a second and grabbed your hand. “Bye Ahin! This wasn’t a pleasure to meet you!”

YEOSANG

Yeosang and you were enjoying a nice date at the Han River. It was a bit cold outside, but the atmosphere was so chill that you forgot your shaky hands. You were talking about your week and his. Nothing special happened this time but you like to know these insificants things about each other. “I went to the theater with Jingi. It was pretty cool.” “Are you sure this girl is what she seems to be? I don’t really like her.” He stated. “You never saw her babe. Just give her a chance.” You rolled your eyes. “You know that my instinct is never wrong Y/N.” “Bla bla bla,” you added. “Jingi is not the type of girl that you think she is.” “Are you sure about that?” “Yes!” “Okay then.” This conversation with Yeosang made you a bit confused. Since you started to date, he was always right about people. He has like a 6th sense or something like that. But Jingi was your friend and you know her too well. She’s not the hypocrite type or something. “Y/N!” Both of you stared at the girl calling you from the grass area. “Oh Jingi!” You smiled. You pulled your boyfriend with you. “What are you doing here?” You asked, happy to see your friend. “Just chilling a bit! You know how I like cold weather.” She replied. Yeosang stayed there, standing next to you, completely quiet. “You must be Yeosang?” She smiled, standing up. “Yes,” he bowed politely but still looking for any hints of her behavior. “Nice to meet you.” She winked. You didn’t say anything, but you saw the wink. Okay you never saw her do something like this with other people, but it might be because he’s your boyfriend. “Same,” he simply said. “Well, you are not the talkative type obviously.” She claimed. “Depends with who.” “You can talk with me, I’m nice.” She whispered. “How was your day, I didn’t have enough time to text you today.” You cut the conversation. “Pretty boring but your company made my day.” She said. “Yeosang you should have come a sooner with Y/N.” Yeosang turned around, ignoring her comment. “See I was right.” “Yes, you were...” you rolled your eyes, heading to your precious way. “Where are you going?” Asked Jingi. “Far away from your toxicity!” You screamed back, middle finger in the air.

SAN

Your American friend: Ashley, was visiting South Korea for a week. You were so happy to see her again. She wanted to see most of the touristic places. You thought that it was a good thing to bring your boyfriend. Firstly, you are always together when he has free time and secondly it would be cool since San wants to learn English. He’s pretty fluent but not enough good for his liking. “I can’t wait for you to meet her!” You clapped enthusiastically. “Me too! She looks so cool!” “She might be shy at first but when she will know you better, it’s going to be chaotic.” You giggled in advance. 30 minutes later, Ashley knocked at your door. You were so happy to see each other that you were talking really loudly. San needed to step away sometimes and avoid your giggles. The dinner went really well. Ashley was more and more comfortable with San. You were happy because she praised his English skills a lot. “No you are really really good!” She insisted, sipping her beer again. “Thank you,” he smiled shyly. “I love your eyes when you smile!” She complimented him. “Ah?” “Even all of your face features.” She added. You thought it was a bit too much but it’s okay, she just tried to be nice or warm. “What is your type of girl?” “Huh...” San glanced at you, trying to get your help. “I think he doesn’t have a real type. Just feelings and personality you know.” You answered. “But my eyes are only on Y/N.” He added. “Like really on her.” He insisted. “Yes yes. I got it but what if you weren’t dating Y/N?” Asked Ashley, smirking. “Are you flirting with me?” He asked, a bit confused. “N-no.” “Yes you are.” You crossed your arms on your chest. “I saw how you looked him the whole day. Your hands on him. And this.” You enumerated. “I was doubting but now it’s more than clear.” “I think you should leave.” said San. It was the last time you saw Ashley. She tried to send letters and to get you back but in vain. We don’t mess with you and San.

MINGI

You were walking behind your boyfriend and friend, Soyeon. Soyeon is your longtime friend. You met at high school and you were kind of inseparable. Until you met Mingi. Not to be so cliché or kitschy but it was like a love at first sight. You were a bit anxious at first, maybe your friend would feel alone but not at all. She was really happy for you and you know she was honest. When you got graduated, you lost contact with her. You went to a different school and your schedule was so tight, it was hard to meet her or even Mingi. But you randomly met at the supermarket and talked again. Like before. You noticed she changed a lot. She seemed more confident and sexier but who are you to judge her. But this is not the only thing you spotted. Soyeon was touchier or kind with Mingi. “Mingi you are taller than before! What did you eat?” Giggled your longtime friend, stroking Mingi’s arm. “Almost nothing I was on diet when I was a trainee.” He giggled. “Wow. Then it’s a miracle.” She giggled. You were looking at the scene in front of you. Mingi has completely no idea that Soyeon was flirting or inciting a lovely interaction. But you were not stupid. “I wish my boyfriend was tall as you, I find this really attractive!” She added. You rolled your eyes. She was definitely not the girl you knew before. “I think there’s a plenty of tall guys in this city.” “Yes, but tall and awesome... don’t think so.” She giggled. “Okay,” you grunted. “Mingi we should go Huh?” “Already? At thought we needed to-” “Yes now.” He insisted. “Come on Y/N, we just-” “I won’t let you flirt with my boyfriend.” You raised a brow. “If you think I’m still naive, you are wrong.” “You made me uncomfortable…” interposed Mingi. “Huh okay?” He replied. “It was nice to meet you.” he bowed politely. “No, you are not babe.” You declared, giving her a dead stare.

WOOYOUNG

Wooyoung loves to be the attention center. He loves to talk with people who likes him. Being an idol is the perfect career for him, you always said. You never said a thing about this. You only teased him few times, but this wasn’t a big deal. But today, it was. Aeung your closest friend, came to your apartment to give you a late gift for your birthday. It wasn’t the first time Wooyoung and her met. She was always talkative with him and praising him a lot about his performance. You were happy they went along so well but every time they met, her behavior changed a bit. You talked about that with your boyfriend. But he clearly said that you were wrong and that she was just friendly. Of course, he wouldn’t say anything since he loves how she acts with him. Especially like today. “Wooyoung!” She screamed. You clenched your fist when you heard her using her cute voice. “I saw your performance yesterday!” “Ah really?” He smiled. “Yes I had enough time so I went to the building! » “Oh! You were in the crowd?” He clapped. “Yes! Almost front row!” You rolled your eyes. “You should have told me! I would give you a signed album or something.” He said nicely. “You are too nice Wooyoung!” She giggled. “Should I leave you alone?” You asked, pointing at the door frame. “What’s wrong Y/N?” Asked Aeung. Wooyoung was looking at you. You saw in his eyes that he felt bad for you. He enjoyed all of her compliments, but you were there just listening and boiling inside. “I thought we were good friend, but friends don’t make these kinds of things.” You added. “Y/N is right. I think it’s better if we don’t see you anymore.” He said, smiling right at you. “Come on… I’m just nice.” She rolled her eyes. “I thought you were but obviously I was wrong. You shouldn’t do that to your friend.” “I don’t have any lesson to take from you.” She grunted before leaving. She was pissed. You know it, because she had this vein on her forehead. You were sad to lose a friend, but it was the right thing to do. “I’m sorry babe. Let me offer you a good meal.” He smiled at you. “You always know how to comfort me.” You replied.

JONGHO

“Hum... why not? I mean she would like to spend a whole day at the mall.” You said. You were helping your friend to organize the perfect birthday for her sister. “Do you think we should buy something for her birthday?” Asked Hina. “Definitely!” You replied enthusiastically. “She’s always asking us to not spend our money on gift but we both now that she looooves it.” Jongho entered the living-room. “Hello young ladies.” He greeted both of you, kissing your cheek. “Morning babe.” You greeted him back. “What are you doing so early?” “Where is my kiss Jongho?” Asked Hina. Jongho chuckled a bit, embarrassed. “We are planning a good shopping day for Hina’s sister. She’s 18 and now deserves a really good wardrobe.” You explained. “So cliché,” he coughed. “Why not doing something more... manly too?” “I don’t know what you call ‘manly’ but after that we planned a bowling and a laser game.” “Do you want to come with us Jongho?” Asked your friend. “I really want to try Laser game with you.” “Ah,” he only replied. He walked out slowly of the room but made a sign for you to join him in the hallway. You excused yourself toward your friend and went back to your boyfriend. “What’s going on?” You asked. “Your friend is flirting with me.” You bit your lip, “I was not sure about that. I thought I was being jealous again.” “Come on Y/N... even a blind man could see it.” “But she’s my friend, she would never do this.” “Just ask her to leave or to calm down... I’m uncomfortable.” He scratched his head. You went back to your friend to have a serious conversation. You explained that you felt like she was flirting with your boyfriend. At first, everything was calm and mature. But you ignored how you ended with your hands in her hair, pulling her outside of your living-room. Jongho was trying to stop you but he was kind of scared to see you this mad. “Just get out and never come back here otherwise it’s not your hair that I will pull away!” You yelled at her before closing the entrance door. “That was… something.” Whispered Jongho, not daring to say anything.

Some kpoppies want kpop to be like hollywood. Openly dating,widely known in Europe/US/worldwide. But when it comes to mediaplay, they deny it so bad with the reason "Kpop is not Hollywood.U watch too many dramas" Well yeah, it's not like Hollywood where their dirty secrets can be exposed easily and openly. For kpop, it's all kept under the rug so well & instead, distractions are used. Mp exists like western, just in lowkey and mild mode to suit fans' taste.

The difference is that Hollywood they do everything in the open to simple do mediaplay (even marriages. With kpop, companies can say two idols are dating with zero pics and everyone believes it.

Yet another GD. This time in another style, giving clear Cruella vibes. I always loved his split dual color hairstyle (More the pink version, but I had to use the black and white one for obvious reasons) .

So this piece I did already in my new job. I was finally working as an animator, but it wasn´t in my country. I had to move to London. It was frightening and exciting at the same time. And I´ve been here since then. So yeah, this quarantine got me miles and miles away from my family. But thanks to modern technology, I have constant videocalls with them. I guess the weirdest thing will be this week, cause it´s my birthday, and also my brother’s. And I’m turning 30, as a cherry on top. This will definitely be an anecdote to remember.

On a brighter note. Since I moved to London, I’ve been able to go to a lot of kpop concert. Here a list of them:

- GD act III tour.

- B.A.P (without Yongguk T-T).

- Yongguk (without B.A.P) (still getting over the fact they left the company and now are all doing their own stuff).

- Zico king of the Zungle tour.

- BTS love yourself tour.

- Super M we are the future tour.

So there´s one advantage of living in London. I got to see most of my favourite koreans.

Funny story with the Zico concert. I was on my way to work, checking instagram on the bus. When I see a post from him letting us know he was already in London. I was perplexed. I knew he was on tour. But I don´t know why I thought he was doing the asia part first, and that there was still time for the europe ones. So I hadn´t checked dates or tickets or anything. But I was wrong, and the concert was that night!

So first thing I do when I arrive at the office is check for the venue and tickets available. I wasn´t convinced I could go so I didn´t buy any. And I strugled all day trying to decide what to do.

In the end I just went straight to the venue. Took the underground as fast as I could, and hoped I would arrive in time. I did, and I was lucky enough there were some tickets left. So I bought one. And it was one of the best concerts I´ve been to here (the Big Bang one I went to when I was still in uni is still number one). It was a rather small venue, so even from my spot on nearly the last row on the second floor, I had a great view. And Zico was really good on stage.

i've changed my theme since the last one so 🎵?? thank u!

no problem!! thanks for sending!! (ps your theme is so cute!!!)

position: main vocalist and leader. also known as the language master in the group (you pick up languages the quickest) + knows guitar

group name: twou (pronounced to you. your girl group is sisters with oneus/onewe which is why it’s ‘two’ u.) honestly it’s probably only 4 members in your group. but what makes your group unique is each member speaks another european language. so you speak french, there’s also spanish, german, and italian. youre a huge hit with kpop fans in europe!!

debut concept: bf/gf concept!!! all your instagrams are filled w gf pictures, cute casual outfits, and cafes. yknow the cliche. the concept is basically traveling gf concept, if that makes sense? very indie, dating in paris, you know?

debut song: going along with the concept it’s definitely indie-esque. not quite a ballad but definitely not anything near edm. there’s probably rap-singing for the rap portion. sounds like something you’d hear playing in a cafe or a bookstore

fun fact: so you’re in the same company as oneus and onewe, and they’re your ‘brother’ groups. as all rbw groups your vocals are INSANE but you guys are more about being stable dancing vs high notes and stuff. each member records a lullaby for their fans and posts it. lots of them use it as alarms lol. also your first tour is an European tour!!

send me a ♫ and ill create a kpop group with you in it, based on your blog

What you said about festivals is so true. They are super risky and super expensive. I looked into attending Hallyu in London when Chen was announced to be there but the 'cheap' seats were also 180 pounds with decent view ones even more expensive and alongside a flight to London and finding accomedations there it was just entirely too much money to just see this one guy for less than half an hour. Like I can somehow justify that for a full concert maybe (even though every non kpop concert I have ever been to was a lot cheaper than that!) but for a festival where he could drop out and then I would be stuck with all that money wasted and most likely no way to resell a ticket again. Nah I hate it I really do. Especially coming out of a pandemic where we still have idols catching covid and then having to cancel appearances can you imagine taking the whole risk of a festival only for your fave not to show up at all when it was already ridiculously overpriced for the amount of stage time they would be having? And you not being elligble for a refund when the festival still happens just without the reason why you wanted to go. Absolutely awful. Give us tours. If a tour gets postponed or cancelled cause the touring artist can't come i get my money back so I mind that way less. And if you have to give us tiny venues fine but then give us more than Paris London. Like Portugal or Poland exist too. We can't cram all of continental europe into one Paris venue if the Paris venue has a 6k capacity limit. The less stops you give the bigger the venues you should offer to accomedate for all the fans arriving from other countries who cannot afford to fly to Asia or America but will jump at the chance of seeing their faves somewhere that is more reachable and affordable for them to go to. I remember attending Music Bank in Berlin and it was packed with people even coming from the northern parts of Africa because EXO showing up in Berlin was the closest they had ever been to them at that point in time.

Sorry this got away from me a little I hope it is still understandable tho

yeah, that’s pretty much it! like, i went to mik festival last year for junmyeon and pentagon, and i would have probably gone for either of those artists alone but was lucky enough that my two ults were part of the line up. the thing is, thought, billie was part of that line up as well and they had to cancel their appearance like A DAY PRIOR or something. it was so ridiculously short notice and i met people in the queue who were there to hand out billie freebies because they only came to see them. like, it’s just so crazy risky and it’s honestly the worst.

and like stated before, the matter of the fact is that kfans have WAY more leverage than european fans because what do they care if we don’t show up to one (1) festival? that will just show them that there is no demand and we won’t get anything anymore. while i do agree that we should be more organized, i think it would simply help more to directly message companies or in some other way to signal that european stans, for example, are very much interested in tours and more dates. because withholding our money is one thing, but that on the other hand shows that there is ZERO interest and that will just backfire.

it’s tricky. because on one hand, we don’t get much of anything so of course we jump at the chance to go and see an artist, but on the other hand we want more than that and we don’t have as much leverage as kfans. and, additionally, the european market is simply not a focus point right now, not for most companies anyways.

JANUARY 2020 DIMENSIONS ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULES & REVIEW

Members may earn 3 points each (up to 6 points) for writing, by the end of February 7 KST:

A solo para of 400+ words based on their monthly schedule (does not count toward your monthly total).

A thread of six posts (three per participant, including the starter) based on their monthly schedule.

Threads do not have to take place directly during an important date listed on the schedule, but must be related to what the muse is mentioned to be doing in the paragraph explaining their schedule/the company’s schedule for the month and/or their thoughts on the mentioned activities or lack thereof.

These schedules may be updated throughout the month if new information needs to be added.

Reminder: December schedule posts are due by the end of January 7 KST.

Overall Company

On an administrative level, employees are busy getting everything together to begin moving operations into Dimensions’ new building next month. On a level more directly affecting the company’s artists this month, Dimensions will be hosting their usual beginning of the year meeting headed by Choi Dongwook as well as the normal consultations on creative and music direction. Choi Dongwook will not be present in the directional meetings this year, possibly sparking rumors his hands-on approach was a phase he’s grown out of as more and more of his uncle’s duties are being delegated elsewhere. The company meeting will emphasize a focus on living up to the investment of a new building this year with concert profits from nearly all artists under them as well as a continued focus in branching out into the Western market with Alien and Unity (and to a lesser extent, Dimensions Soloist 1 and Lucid), and perhaps working on an introduction for 7ROPHY into the market.

Important dates: 

January 24-26: Seollal break (no activities save for specific voluntary individual schedules).

January 27: Meeting for company artists and those who work directly with them (managers, PR, etc.) headed by creative director Choi Dongwook. Dimensions Entertainment’s mission statements and overall plans for 2019 will be delivered.

Various dates: In a tradition started in 2018 by creative director Choi Dongwook, all artists will meet with in-house producers and artist and repertoire department representatives to discuss the styles of music and concepts they’d like to pursue in 2020. No promises are made that their wishes will be met, but the intent is to keep open a clear line of communication.

Dimensions Soloist 1

"Lalalay” and “Noir” weren’t quite the smash hits her previous songs had been, though they still performed suitably, so her schedule isn’t very hectic while decisions on her planned next album are being made on a higher level than her in order to alter it in hopes of more smashing success. She has been invited in to do a video talking about her lyrics. She’ll be expected to prepare a rough version of her explanations in advance.

Important dates:

January 11: Studio K Talking Lyrics video filming.

Dimensions Soloist 2

He’s slated for a late April comeback, meaning preparations begin this month. The track list and concepts will be finalized and confirmed with him at the beginning of the month, so he then will go into the studio to get down the vocals for the mini-album. He has a fanmeeting in Bangkok, Thailand next month so he’ll be expected to practice the songs he’s already released as well as up to three family-friendly cover songs of his choice for the set list.

Important dates:

N/A

Gal.actic

For the bulk of January, Gal.actic will be in the dance studio rehearsing the choreography and performance aspects of their comeback title track until the end of the month comes. On the twenty-second, they’re scheduled to shoot their comeback teaser photos, which will be shot full-clothed in a shallow bath tub. Right before the month ends, they’ll be on set to shoot their music video. The video is low budget and not all that impressive for a company often praised for their music videos, but will showcase the choreography Dimensions has insisted they work so hard on.

Important dates:

January 22: Comeback teaser photo shoot.

January 30: "B.B.B” MV filming.

Alien

They’re back home for the beginning of the month to attend award shows they’ve been nominated for, but then it’s off on the Europe leg of their world tour. Before they leave, they’ll record their Japanese double singles releasing next month: a Japanese version of  “Alligator” and an original song “Swish”. While they’re on tour, they’ll be tasked with filming a few self-cam videos lipsyncing to “Swish” in different locations for a video to promote the song. Management passes down to them that their year is slated to consist of a lot of continued touring and English singles to lead up to the release of their first English album next year. This year, they’ll have one Japanese album release and one Korean album release.

Important dates:

January 5: Performance at Golden Disc Awards Day Two at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea (also attending: CHARM, Impulse, and Origin).

January 8: Performance at Gaon Chart Music Awards at Jamsil Arena in Seoul, South Korea (also attending: BEE, Lucid, and Femme Fatale).  

January 11: We Are Here tour concert at Placio Vistalegre in Madrid, Spain.

January 15: We Are Here tour concert at AFAS Live in Amsterdam, Netherlands. 

January 18: We Are Here tour concert at La Seine Musicale in Paris, France. 

January 21: We Are Here tour concert at The SSE Arena Wembley in London, England. 

January 23: We Are Here tour concert at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany. 

January 30: Performance at Seoul Music Awards at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea (also attending: BEE, WISH, Lucid, Fuse).

MARS

The time has come for the concerts they’ve been preparing for (see November’s schedule for special stages). The content they’ve been filming during practice will begin to go up on Youtube before the concerts, but the members will continue to film before and after on the days of the concerts to get more behind the scenes material. Once they get their two concerts over with, they can rest through Seollal since they’ll be starting comeback preparations next month. Dimensions want them to comeback twice this year as well as get in another round of concerts before the end of the year. After being Dimensions’ most domestically-focused group for a while, it seems they’re giving in to the temptation to eventually float MARS to international fans with time.

Important dates:

January 11: KPop Super Concert in Hanoi at Mỹ Đình Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam (also performing: Unity).

January 18: LAUNCH concert at Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.

January 19: LAUNCH concert at Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.

7ROPHY

Their comeback comes at the end of the month, but between Seollal and the song being a digital single, promotions are too expansive. Instead of the fan signs they’d have for a comeback with a physical release, Dimensions will have 7ROPHY releasing online content through various channels and making radio show appearances. In addition to the customary Relay Dance video, they’ll split into two groups to film ASMR challenge videos. The group for the first video will consist of the lead vocal/lead dancer, main rapper/vocal, and lead dancer/vocal while the second video will involve the leader/main dancer/lead vocal, maknae/lead rapper/vocal, main vocal, and lead vocal. Dimensions would like them to have two more comebacks before the end of the year it seems, but they’re still reviewing songs for those. In positive news, if they can avoid doing anything too disastrous, they’re predicted to pay off their debt before everyone is required to have moved out of the dorm.

Important dates:

January 22: Release of “Me” digital single & showcase, promotions continue until February 22. 

January 23: “Me” Relay Dance video filming.

January 27: Guesting on Idol Radio radio show.

January 28: Dingo MOVE REC Performance Video filming.

January 29: Guesting on MBC FM4U radio show.

January 31: ASMR unit video one and two filmings.

Unity

Sub-unit CHAMPION’s debut appears to be prioritized over Unity for now, if the way management talks is anything to go by. Initial plans had been for a comeback in the first half of the year, but once plans were finalized, it was considered a better look to investors to push it into the second half of the year. January’s schedule is more focused on keeping Unity’s name out there and giving fans content. Dimensions has worked out a contract for Unity to become one of the faces of Lotte Duty Free, joining Origin and Knight, and they’ll film a CF with a song in both Korean and English this month. They’ll also continue to film content for their Youtube channel. This month, it will be a New Year’s greeting video reflecting on 2019, looking forward to 2020, and wishing fans a happy new year. This will not be scripted, but the gist of what each member will say will be cleared with management first and any necessary edits will be made before upload.

Important dates:

January 4: New Year’s Greeting video filming.

January 10: Lotte Duty Free English and Korean CFs filming.

January 11: KPop Super Concert in Hanoi at Mỹ Đình Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam (also performing: MARS).

              ↳ CHAMPION

Now that the members have had time to settle into the idea of their new sub-unit, this month, they’ll familiarize themselves with the songs that will be on their debut mini-album and begin recording them in the studio. All of the recording will be done in the studios at Dimensions Entertainment building, as the group is working with their team musically instead of BC’s. Only two songs on the album, “Jopping” and “I Can’t Stand The Rain”, will feature all members, with the other three featuring select members deemed most fitting for the specific song:

“2 Fast” - Decipher’s maknae/main dancer/lead vocal, Knight’s main vocal 2, Unity’s lead rapper/vocal, Unity’s main dancer/rapper/vocal

“Super Car” - Decipher’s/maknae/main dancer/lead vocal, Knight’s main vocal 2, Unity’s leader/main rapper/lead dancer/vocal, Unity’s main dancer/rapper/vocal, Unity’s lead rapper/vocal

“No Manners” - Decipher’s maknae/main dancer/lead vocal, Knight’s main dancer/vocal/rapper, Unity’s leader/main rapper/lead dancer/vocal, Unity’s main dancer/rapper/vocal

Important dates:

N/A

Lucid

Though their music show promotions end on the 2nd, Dimensions has decided to extend their run of fan signs quite a bit longer to continue to increase album sales and lock in new fans that are now interested in them following their number one hit (and the only song to achieve a PAK on the charts in 2019 other than Origin’s comeback). Their awards show run continues but they’re in high demand now for more than that. This will include a return to Immortal Songs 2 as well as a return to MCountdown after the end of their promotional run to do a special stage of a cover of “To My Boyfriend” as a reward for achieving a triple crown. Management is now incredibly hesitant to proceed with a return to their dark concept as had always been planned, but scrapping what had already been planned would waste money, so they can only hope fans stick around for it. Lucid’s second anniversary is coming next month, so they’ll be recording a special anniversary song, “Full Moon”, to release. Now that their old brand contract with a shoe company expired, they’ve upgraded to Nuovo for 2020 and will shoot a CF for them this month. Dimensions is planning a dark concept and a power innocence concept release this year to compare their successes and also plan for the group to tour again.

Important dates:

January 2: End of music show promotions.

January 4: Performance at Golden Disc Awards Day One at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea (also attending: BEE and WISH). 

January 8: Performance at Gaon Chart Music Awards at Jamsil Arena in Seoul, South Korea (also attending: BEE, Alien, and Femme Fatale).

January 12: Fan sign in Yongsan, Seoul.

January 13: Immortal Songs 2 episode recording (to be aired February 1).

January 16: Nuovo CF filming.

January 19: Fan sign in Gimpo.

January 30: “To My Boyfriend” special stage on MCountdown.

January 30: Performance at Seoul Music Awards at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea (also attending: BEE, WISH, Alien, Fuse).
