[kangpingyu]

i posted all my live reactions to onewe's planet nine: isotropy this morning over on twitter (where the majority of the fandom is, unfortunately), but I thought I'd share some of my fave moments from today's promos here!

ONEWE breaking their brand-new lightsticks, pt. 1 & 2

ONEWE breaking their brand-new lightsticks, pt. 3

ONEWE released a FAN CHANT hello??? first since MAS0094 era

This is definitely an official part of the fanchant. Absolutely. I expect to hear it at their upcoming O! NEW! Evolution concert.

Yonghoon living that Y/N life

BTW, if you want to cry about this being the first ONEWE fan chant in, like, a decade, check out this edit

I'm a Hyungu girlie, if that's not obvious, but Giuk had me going googly eyed over his cuteness all morning

the otter is not even his. he found it at the radio show. apparently it's for an ONF member????

BUT LOOK AT HIM- a whole baby.

YH, drama queen, decided to make everyone coo over their formation story one more time, and then told the members thank you for choosing him back then :')

On a lighter note, apparently hyungu spent his time in the military collecting fanboys. I get it, unnamed officer of the 55th division who messaged the radio station just to support kanghyun. I get it.

Also, Hyungu sang. It went as expected. I love him still.

This post is a hot mess timeline-wise, but going back to their livestream from this morning (well, my morning, their evening).

I can't forget that our resident married couple woke up and chose violence today

Hyungu wants you all to know that Harin wrote Pleasant about him. No one else. Definitely not about WEVEs.

Planet Nine: Isotropy OT5 waiguuuu

Happy comeback day WEVEs! Stream Beautiful ashes!! Listen to Planet Nine: Isotropy! Don't cry too much!!!! Try not to headbang too hard to Shoot It Out!

P.S. another edit to make you cry, set to Pleasant because ONEWE are together again :')

✨ Onew’s interview for SeeK Vol.021

A story of Onew and fragrances

Experience making his own perfume.

So, what is the scent that Onew imagines?

The title of the concert held in March was "ONEW CONCERT "O-NEW-NOTE" in JAPAN".

Yes, Onew is very interested in "fragrances" now.

The story of Onew, who thought: "What kind of scent do I like?", how he pursued it thoroughly and found his own scent.

We will deliver it with plenty of healing effects.

ONEW

Trying to make his own perfume

He experienced making original perfumes at a popular perfume workshop.

He likes strong commitment and detailed work… Please enjoy the unknown aspects of Onew, such as his obsessions, love for detailed work and so on… to the familiar Onew (!)

Step 1: Fill in the check sheet

Check the image of the fragrance you want to create.

Before starting the perfume experience, first fill in a check sheet to confirm your favorite scent taste. Choose the scent you want to create and your favorite color from among the many options. Onew confirms one by one: “What does it mean by ‘heavy’?”, “Is it refreshing?”. He chose soft scents, heavy scents, fresh floral scents, fruity scents, woody/forest scents, and herbal scents.

When asked by the teacher about his favorite image, he said: “The phytoncide in the summer forest is ‘refreshing’, and the warm brown tone of the wood is ‘soft’. Ah, I see, so I’m ‘soft’. But I like the damp wood...”, he continued the exchange with the teacher.

The color that you can feel for each scent is also different. “I like dark tones like damp wood” - he said, checking the dark brown one. In addition, he also chose the same yellow color as today’s outfit.

Some of them smell like wood, some like herbs, and some of them feel like forest without heavy trees.

“Hmm… It’s not easy”, he suddenly was confronted with the depth of the scents.

Step 2: Trying them

Smell the 36 scents one by one

After learning about the composition of the scent of top notes, middle notes, and base notes from the teacher, it’s finally time to take the first step in creating a perfume. It’s the moment of "trying them", where you choose while smelling the scents to be blended. The impression here is important! What Onew experienced this time was a course to choose from 36 kinds of scents, and there were many perfume bottles in front of him! "I have to smell all of this, don't I? It's shocking!" - while saying that, he started immediately.

“Take a small amount with the dropper on the lid and drop a few drops, and the scent will come out. When you smell it, count 1, 2, 3” - the teacher told him the points. Then, he writes down his impressions on the sheet, whether it’s good, weird, or disliked.

It seems that his nose slowed down after 10 minutes. When that happens, smell the aroma of the coffee beans and reset. Onew posed while holding coffee beans. He asked the photographer: "How is it? Can I make an advertisement for coffee?".

He was muttering something to himself, so when I listened more carefully, he was saying: "Orchid? Child's scent?" (*or-kid) Jacket? (*leather) Oh, I like it”. He is putting some gags in between (laughs).

“I like the smell of acacia gum (acacia senegal gum), which I used to chew when I was a kid”… “Oh, it smells good”. “This is fragrant olive! I didn’t know that frangrant olive was a tree until I learned it at cram school” - he shared the episode (laughs). “The black pepper one has a pepper scent!” - Onew tries it while having fun.

While confirming the name of each scent, if he can’t understand, he will actively ask the teacher. Showing off a good student who is full of motivation. Finally, he finished smelling all 36 perfumes.

Once his nose is reset, he continues to try the scents. "Sure, I like this kind of scent." Whoa! I think he is starting to understand it!

Step 3: Perfuming

Making adjustments to the scent many times in search of the desired scent.

Onew will combine scents that he thinks are good in the scent test. Putting one drop into a tube with a dropper, dipping it on an L-shaped paper and smelling it, is like a chemistry experiment. He tells the teacher what he thinks of the scent, and adds more of the scent little by little. Changing the amounts and the fragrance is formulated again. A delicate one-on-one exchange with the teacher continues. In fact, it was difficult to achieve the ideal scent, so he had a hard time… "I’m more serious (about it) than I thought (I would be) (laughs)", he said with a wry smile.

According to the impression Onew felt, the teacher added a scent, but: "It should be a little less sweet, and the one with the scent of wood is better", "A little, not clear, subtle", "It's not the scent I expected" - Onew is not convinced. His face gradually became troubled, but after the 6th attempt, he finally smiled: "Oh, it’s similar!" and then the 7th attempt: “It's the weight I wanted”. That’s good.

For example, after the teacher puts in a little bit of fragrant olive, Onew puts in a drop of cedarwood and black musk. The trick is to drop it with so as not to touch the tube.

Even the teacher praised him!

“Onew has a pretty high ability to catch the scent. Even if you smell the same woody scent, it’s generally difficult to tell which is the lighter tone wood or which is the heavier wood. I was surprised because before, he had already correctly caught that sandalwood was lighter than cedarwood and that cedarwood should be used more as a main”.

Step 4: Put in a perfume bottle

Weigh it with a scale and pour the stock solution accurately.

Accurately pour the undiluted solution of perfume into the bottle using a scale according to the amount determined in the previous perfume blending. 0.01g determines the aroma, which is quite a delicate process. Looking at the scale, drop, drop. Concentrate and talk less, seal your favorite jokes. The silent struggle continues, but Onew said, working hard towards the imminent completion: "I want to complete my own perfume!".

Adding 5.00g of cedarwood, 2.40g of sandalwood, and 2.68 g of ambrette, that the teacher gave him when he was making the perfume. "I have to be precise!", Onew holds it tight with both hands.

Step 5: Attach the label

The scent, appearance, and name are all Onew originals!

Mix the undiluted solution from earlier with the perfume base, and finally attach a label in your favorite color to complete your original perfume! However, perfume needs a maturation period, so you can enjoy the real scent after 1~2 weeks. The teacher said: “Onew made it with very precise measurements, so it has become an ideal scent. So please, rest assured”.

Everything from the illustration on the label to the fragrance has created a one-of-a-kind perfume that is unique to Onew.

Onew chose his favorite color from the 6 different labels. “It's a little crooked because my feelings are crooked (laughs) But it looks quite good like this”, Onew said.

ONEW’S FRAGRANCE “MORI-AMA”

The sweet and soft scent turns into a dark and heavy woody scent!

A unique scent that is warm and calm, yet firm in its charm.

In order to get closer to the ideal scent that Onew had imagined, the perfume “MORI-AMA” was created by repeating the process and trying the smell over and over again.

Of course, Onew likes it, but there is also plenty of charm that goes beyond that.

This time, we asked the teacher who prepared the fragrance in detail about this perfume.

When I asked him before the class started, he said: “It would be nice if the base was woody and it had a faint floral scent”. The floral scent was made with a small amount of jasmine, which is the most similar to acacia, because he wanted the scent of acacia. In addition, among the woody scents, he liked the scent of wood, which has a “dark and deep image,” so we built the scent of cedarwood as the main scent, and added the scents of ambrette and sandalwood as decorations. However, it’s difficult to express the “warm and calm atmosphere” and “heavy atmosphere” that Onew wanted with just that scent, so it contains most cashmere scent.

The scent flow is sweet and soft at first, and rises with a calm jasmine scent. When the scent shifts from the beginning to the middle, the gentle and clean scent of sandalwood rises and the tone of the perfume is bright. The dark and dry image of cedarwood changes completely, giving you a twisted charm. During this change in scent, the ambrette enhances the woody scent and the cashmere scent is felt from start to finish, creating a warm scent.

As a perfume, it has a warm, soothing yet firm, trendy, twisted and alluring image. The cashmere scent lasts for a long time, so you can feel the soft and warm impression, and it’s a perfume with a calm image that is made by concentrating on the residual scent of woody. Among them, the dark tone of cedarwood added to the bright tone scent makes it even more attractive.

For the last few years, the Korean perfume trend has been the natural image of woody scents, or slightly unique niche scents. Onew's perfume contains these two trends.

MIDDLE Note: Jasmine

BASE Note: Ambrette

BASE Note: Sandalwood

BASE Note: Cedarwood

BASE Note: Cashmere

Thoughts after finishing the perfume making

Talking about scents with Onew

We asked him about this and that, from his impressions of perfume making to episodes about fragrances. At the end, we talked about his memories of his stay in Japan.

Onew: It’s my first time making perfume. I’m not usually that interested in perfume, I just care about the scents I can feel in my life. By the way, my favorite scent is the smell of freshly baked bread (laughs).

However, this perfume-making experience gave me the opportunity to think about what kind of scent I like. And it was a much more specialized field than I thought. I thought it would be easy to make, but I smelled one by one and compared them... My nose got tired right away, but thanks to the coffee beans that the teacher prepared for me, I was saved (laughs).

It was fun trying out the scents.

I was also surprised by the variety of woody scents. There is also such a scent. I was so into sniffing and selecting each one, and it took me a lot of time (laughs). This kind of work might suit me unexpectedly! I felt like a sommelier or barista, and it was a fresh experience.

This time, before making the perfume, I imagined a woody, slightly moist scent that felt like being in the forest. I wanted to make something with a scent of thick trees and a slightly damp earth, but I thought it might be a little heavy on its own, so I thought it might be a good idea to add a little sweet scent. But I don't know much about fragrances, so when I say sweet scent, I can only think of the smell of gum that I like (laughs). I thought the smell of “acacia senegal gum” that I used to chew a lot when I was a child was good.

Today, I made two types of scents and chose one. The first one I made wasn’t bad either, but it just didn’t click with me. It was too light and had a strong fruity scent, so I thought it wasn’t the forest scent I had imagined.

The second is a heavier scent that I like. When I want to be healed, I seek the “scent of the forest (phytoncide)”. Like when I go camping in the woods. It would be better if it rains at that time. I made it a simpler scent of forest, but I think the result is a satisfying scent. I'm simple myself, so I have to keep the scent simple (laughs). In general, it may feel heavy, but for me this is the most refreshing scent.

If I had to name this perfume... “Mori-Ama”! I just put "forest" (mori) and "sweet" (amai) together, but I think it’s a little lame (laughs). But “Mori-Ama” is good. I don't usually wear perfume.

Perfume is often remembered for its scent, isn't it? If someone remembers my perfume because it smells something they don’t like, it’s kind of sad. Also, I’d probably change my perfume depending on my mood at the time, so I think it’d better to be in a state of “nothing” rather than mixing various scents. So that you can easily put it in any scent. Maybe that's what I want to be.

I tried using essential oils and candles, but after about 5 to 10 minutes, I couldn't feel the scent anymore. I wonder if my nose is so sensitive that I get used to the scent so quickly and it becomes numb. To the extent that I even forget that I lit a candle.

By the way, the scent I don't like is the refreshing citrus scent. I recognize all of them as cucumber smells. Actually, I don’t like cucumbers (laughs). When I was a kid, I didn't even eat melons or watermelons. Come to think of it, the first time I put on perfume was my mother's perfume when I was in the first or second grade of elementary school. It was in a drawer, and when I smelled it, I really liked it. I remember asking my mother how to put it on. It smelled good, but I still remember it because there were times when I put it on too much and was like “Argh!” (laughs). If I were to create a perfume inspired by SHINee, it would be the scent of forest and acacia (laughs). It's one of my favorite scents, but since I'm part of SHINee, it would be nice to have my own scent arranged a bit. The sweetness should be modest, and it should be more refreshing. I want the bottle to be small so it's easy to carry around. A bottle like lip balms. The name would be… “OUO”. It’s a combination of the work “king” (“ou”) and the exclamation “Oh!” into alphabet!

In 2022, I stayed in Japan for three months on a solo tour, so I was able to eat what I wanted many times. What impressed me the most? It's hard to choose because they were all delicious, but I’ll go with sushi. I love chutoro (medium fatty tuna), and when I ate a course meal at a sushi restaurant, I ordered an additional item individually (laughs).

I only remember eating during the tour… (laughs) When I look at the photos I took during my three months in Japan, there are only photos of food. Especially this time, it was good that I was able to wander around by myself and suddenly enter the restaurants in front of me. I've been going around gourmet food for a long time, so I thought this shouldn't be the case, so I exercised well.

Next time I go to Japan, I want to deepen what I did this time. I used to go to the restaurants I was recommended by people and on the Internet, but this time I enjoyed walking around on my own. For example, the same tonkotsu ramen may taste different depending on the restaurant, right? It was so much fun to explore my favorite flavors like that, and I hope to deepen it next time. I guess I relieve stress by eating. I feel very happy when I am eating delicious food.

ONEW’s special message:

Once again, SHINee WORLD J

I'm planning to have a solo concert in Japan in March 2023, but by the time this SeeK arrives, it's over, so I'd like to ask everyone: "Was it a fun concert?". Whether I'm solo or in a group - working in Japan is a lot of fun and I feel very happy.

I never want to let go of this happiness.

I have a lot of songs that I want to release in Japan, and I have a lot of things I want to do, so I plan to do them all.

Everyone, please look forward to it!

O-New-Note 🎵

Onew's First Solo Concert in Korea March 3-5 2023 😍

[ithinkilikeit-reactions]

Onewe ‘They realise they love you’

Onewe Masterlist                                    Group Masterlist

Ask: Hi :) Can I request a onewe reaction to them realizing they love you? Thank you!

Yonghoon: 

Music video shoots were incredibly difficult. As much as he tried to start off the day positive and full of energy, it was only natural that the energy dwindled throughout the day. Yonghoon was good at staying positive but this shoot was taking a lot out of him, he just wanted to go to bed. So he found himself trying to find somewhere quiet, just to nap between takes. 

Until he felt arms wrap around his waist and the familiar feeling of your face burrying into the back of his shoulder. “What are you doing here?” Yonghoon asked, smiling and turning around in your arms. “You sounded absolutely exhausted in your textss and I thought I would surprise you, maybe give you some energy.” You explained, gently stroking his face and being carefull not to rub off any makeup. “And.... I brought snacks for you guys.” You said, holding up a bag filled to the brim with treats and making Yonghoon laugh. 

He realised that you could easily tell when he was feeling down and tired, that you filled him with energy and made him feel alot better. Yonghoon loved you for that. 

Harin:

You loved watching the gears turn in his brain as he had an idea. It was interesting to see how Harin got fully invested in an idea once he had it. Staff had asked the members to come up with ideas for their upcoming concert and he was having a plethera of ideas. 

“Okay so, how does this sound.” Harin explained his idea involving the opening of the concert. He was so expressive and excited about it and it was entirely valid, it was a great idea. “Ohhhh, maybe you can add some fancy lighting to that.” You added on and he pointed at you. “See! This is why we’re together. You made it better.” He said, making a note of the whole thing on his phone before returning his attention back to you. “What do you think about this to end the show, feel free to add ideas.” Harin said continueing to show you the things he had come up with. 

Harin realised that you always supported his ideas and played off on them to make them even better. You guys were a team and he loved you for it.

Kanghyun/Hyunggu:

Hyunggu genuinely enjoyed to read and that was incredibly attractive to you, it was one of the reasons you connected in the first place. He loved that you loved to read too, loved being able to share stories and books with you. You were often recommending things for him to read as well, broadening his horizons. 

He was glad to see that you had left the book you recommended on his bed for him. Flipping through it, he noticed small scribbles in the margins. Your thoughts and feelings about things done in the book. “Hyunggu this is something you would do.” Your note caught his eye and now he was trying to find more. You had read the book with him in mind, leaving little comments where you felt you could. He was absolutely amazed. 

Hyunggu realised that you even read with him in mind, that you took the things you thought he would enjoy into consideration. He loved you for it. 

Dongmyeong:

Getting up in the morning on busy days was always a horrifyingly difficult task, but not to Dongmyeong. He always enjoyed waking up and getting ready in the morning but never really found anyone that shared that joy, until he met you. 

Getting ready in the morning was like your own personal time in the day. With music softly playing in the background as you both washed your faces, Dongmyeong was smiling at you in the mirror. “What’s got you all smiley?” You asked, putting on moisterizer as you smiled back. “Nothing, just like getting ready with you.” Dongmyeong said, applying moisterizer himself. You shook your head slightly, carrying on with your morning routine with a smile. 

Dongmyeong realised how rare it was that you could find someone that enjoyed the small things the way he did. He really loved you for that. 

Cya/Giwook: 

Music was the biggest part of Giwook’s life, it was his livelihood and it was his passion. It’s not that it was a demand for him to find someone who shared his love for music, but he did think it would be nice. Never in a million years did he expect to find someone who took as much interest as you did. 

“Ahh, so by layering the two it creates that full sound?” You asked, gesturing to the screen. You wanted to understand how it worked and well, you loved watching Giwook explain. “Yeah exactly, then if you insert the vocals you have the basics to make a song.” He added on, beginning to ramble about the process a little. It’s not that you understood everything but it was nice to just hear him speak so passionately, so you placed your head on his shoulder and simply listened. He had to hide his flush at the action, stuttering over his words for a moment before continuing. 

He loved that you took a genuine interest in his passions and that you didn’t mind him rambling off. It made him feel interesting and appreciated and he loved you for it.

Onew Circle First Impressions

I don’t know the lyrics, but Circle has a lot of striking (and odd) imagery in the mv, and it’s not necessarily cohesive. It’s not bad per se, it’s just hard to understand when it’s all put together; at least for me. The shot that struck me the most though was the broken and bloody phone with the “I’m fine” text message on the screen. That one’s easy to understand, but it’s almost incongruous against the rest of the mv’s strange assortment. Plus the way Jinki sings it is curiously powerful. I’ll have to look up what it all means. The song itself is good though; r&b works surprisingly well with his voice on solo, and the choir in the chorus is a cool touch.

Cough I have to admit, the guitar refrain was too repetitive for me in the preview, but the song itself is quite nice. A good driving song for when you don’t have anywhere in particular to be.

Rain On Me. Very minimal instrumental, letting Jinki’s voice do all the work. And it’s surprisingly soft! Ooh…what is that kind of…stomping percussion? Oh the bridge!! I can imagine this during a concert drawing everyone to silence, just enraptured. So nice. 👍🏻

Caramel is starting out as another gentle toe tapper. The melody’s so curious too, particularly on the pre-chorus. Oop! I didn’t know this had a feature! I don’t know who it is but it’s not a bad contrast to the song. …………Is this man making those noises HIMSELF!? 😆 Ngl, this is a weird song! I’m not mad at it, but what an odd blend of different elements??

Anywhere has a neat start…feels pretty retro. Once again he’s going sof—oh…oh what a curious song! It’s kind of like Taeyeon’s Weekend. I’m into this, the synth is a really fun touch. And again, I���m intrigued by how high Jinki’s staying on this one. This is probably my favorite so far. It’s the most in line what kind of sound I’ve seen trending so far this year too.

Paradise. Oooh yes! Oh another retro dancer! This is straight up DISCO, DARLING! It’s giving Bee Gees, and a little Rod Stewart?? YEEES YOU CLIMB THAT HIGH NOTE! Wowww this was such a left turn from the rest of the album so far, and I’m into it.

Expectations. Hmmm…I’m reminded of the indie artists from the early 2010’s. This is going to sound mean, but I feel this song is a little…I guess safe? There’s nothing wrong with it really, I just don’t think it’s my flavor. It’s a shame because it feels like he’s flexing his vocals the most in this one. So far anyway.

No Parachute. We’re back to the acoustics. Ooh, kick up! Ohh okay, I get where we’re going. There’s a line in the chorus that has a VERY familiar melody, ohhh…what IS that song? Where he says Jump Jump Jump…oh no that’s gonna drive me crazy! It’s a cool song and even though it’s super short I did like it. …But damnit that’s distracting…

Walk With You. A rather dramatic start, but I’m digging the melody. Aww, this is sweet. It’s almost got a reggae-ish/island sound going on? It’s got a gentle, romantic vibe to it. Not bad. It’s kind of like In the Whale from his last album.

Always. The last track is surprisingly short, let’s see. Ohh the ballad! I certainly won’t say no to a ballad from him. Hm…for such a short song I didn’t expect an instrumental break. Awww there’s some more of that vocal skill I love. 😌 I really wonder what this one’s about as well, because it feels like something that’s lyrically significant.

Random Song Game

Okay, so I saw this post by @hanniehoney1004 and I just needed to try it, but then I wanted to write tiny drabbles to go with it in the time it takes the song to finish and these are the results, lol.

Featuring: Yonghoon (Onewe), Yoo Taeyang (SF9), San (Ateez), Leeteuk (SuJu), Jeonghan (Seventeen), Bang Chan (SKZ), Chanyeol (EXO), Yuta (NCT)

(Also I couldn't remember my faves so I just picked those high on my spotify stats and randomly shuffled the order of the guys for extra challenge.)

This bias and you going on a first date. The song describes what you are actually doing on the date.

Yonghoon (Onewe) + Bring It On - Oneus

The lights inside of the room are bright and colorful, spinning much like the world around you. You hype him as much as you hope for him to mess up. Your throat hurts already, having already gone through more than it’s used to. Yonghoon is still going strong, hitting the high note without any problem. He throws you a smug smirk in the beat that the fast paced song allows him to catch his breath. He wasn’t joking when he said he was competitive. But neither were you. The score is 98, just a few points higher than your best so far. He passes the mic to you, licking his lips and raising his brows in a challenging manner. Electricity sparks between your fingers when they brush together as you take the mic from him. He might be a pro but you’re not giving up. You came here ready to beat him and you won’t stop until you do or your vocal chords give up. Whatever comes first.

This song plays while you are having a pillow fight with your No. 2 bias.

Yoo Taeyang (SF9) + White T-Shirt - Jonghyun

Your apartment was never this loud. Squeaking of your slippers, yelps and thuds as you jump around, all that mixes with the music cheerfully blasting in the background, your laughter and more thumping as the pillows find their target. The sun streams into the room through the window and you watch your silhouettes dancing across the floor. How can a shadow look so handsome? His body line really is out of this world, you think. The moment of distraction earns you a whack and you glare at Taeyang. He just sticks his tongue out at you. You swing your pillow at him but he dodges with an elegant sidestep and twist. “Not fair,” you complain, out of breath. You don't give up, though. You chase him around the apartment, swinging your weapon until he ambushes you. The pillows fall to the ground as he pulls you closer by your waist. You’re a mess, he’s a mess, panting just as hard as you are. Your lips meet just as the song stops.

A song you are screaming the lyrics to while going on a looooong drive with your third bias from the list.

San (Ateez) + Good Night - Huta (Lee Minhyuk)

You needed to escape. Both of you did. So when you suggested a weekend getaway, just the two of you, he made sure to be there. Driving on the empty road, you look at him. There are deep dark circles under his eyes. Your gazes meet. You know you look, and feel, just as bone-tired and exhausted as he does. You worry, he worries. You know all that. A song comes on the radio. It’s slow, gentle, and exactly fits the atmosphere the car shifted into as your tired eyes met. You turn the volume up, but it doesn’t stand a chance against your voice mingling together as you scream the lyrics from the top of your lungs. /You don't have to force yourself to smile./ Goes the song and your eyes meet. You smile at each other. Oh, the irony. /It's really alright, you don't need to try so hard/. You wish you could say that to him. He wishes he wouldn’t get so tongue-tied when he wants to check on you. Instead, your eyes instinctively meet with each line. /You don't have to pretend that you're okay, dear./ Your relationship is still fresh. It’s still awkward to talk about feelings, about work, about needing support and help. But perhaps this is the first step in the right direction.

While attending the concert, your fourth bias will dedicate this song to you. Imagine it's a cover if the song belongs to different group or artist.

Leeteuk (SuJu) + Bonnie & Clyde - Victon

You feel the confusion spread throughout the stadium filled with people. They don’t know what’s going on, yet they’re cheering and jumping anyway. The rest of the members look like they want to disappear, especially when their leader begins marching towards the part of the stadium you occupy. This wasn’t what you were expecting when you told him to think about his future, your future, whether it could ever be one you both share. The passion was there, love two, but with both of you living the life you do, how could it ever work out? Clearly you underestimated the dedication and devotion of a man who is past the period of brief relationships and lovers for one night. Hell, he even remembered the song that you’ve had on repeat for the past few weeks. There’s a fire in his eyes you’ve only seen in the privacy of one of your apartments, away from others. When your gazes meet, what he’s trying to convey is more than clear - let’s fight for this love. Let’s do it even if it fucks up our lives, you want to tell him but you think he knows by the smirk on his face. People are born for love and revolution anyway.

You are dancing in the club with your fifth bias to this song.

Jeonghan (Seventeen) + Regular - NCT 127

“When did they manage to get so wasted?” you slur against Jeonghan’s shoulder. The boys currently screaming and flailing, no even dancing anymore, on the dance floor were not the only ones who drank perhaps more than they should.

“I don’t know, you tell me,” he smirks, wrapping a hand around your waist to bring you closer. The alcohol creates a pleasant buzz under his skin and when he feels you swaying into the rhythm, he joins you. The bass pulses through your bodies as if you all shared one heartbeat. He can’t say he dislikes the feeling.

“We should take some videos,” you giggle, “They’ll be so embarrassed tomorrow.”

“Hmm, honestly I think I’ve never seen Hoshi dance so well,” he snickers and you join him, watching the other boy make moves not dissimilar to some bird’s mating dance.

“Should we join them?” you suggest, pulling on his sleeve with the hand that is not holding on to your drink. The beat is about to drop, it’s now or never.

“Sure, seeing as we’re the only ones sober enough to take evidence,” he shrugs, putting your drinks away before you grab his hands and pull him into the chaos.

This bias is breaking up with you and the song now playing has the reason in it.

Bang Chan (SKZ) + Sunshine - SKZ

“Are you sure you’ll be fine?” he asks for about the thousandth time and it makes you laugh.

“Yes, Channie, I’m pretty sure I’ll be alright. It’ll take me a while to get over you, but it’s all gonna be good in the end,” you reassure him, “But will you be fine?” He gives it some thought.

“Eventually,” he sighs, but there’s a relieved smile on his face too. This really is for the best.

“Focus on your career now, I’ll do the same and maybe when we meet in a couple years, we can give it another try,” you wonder aloud and he hums in agreement.

“I think I’d like it. Everything’s just so overwhelming now,” he confesses and you relish in the feeling of being one of the very few people he’d ever be so honest with. You hope this isn’t something you’re losing along with your relationship.

He stretches out on the blanket under you and looks at the sky. You do the same, comfortable silence enveloping you. It feels like you can breathe freely now. The sky is blue, the sun is warm, and there are no more expectations weighing you down. Maybe in a few years’ time…

Your seventh bias and you are travelling in an underground subway and this song is playing through your shared earphones while you guys have strong eye contact.

Chanyeol (EXO) + Ask - N.Flying

It’s hard to hold his gaze. It must be hard for him to, seeing as he cannot even hold his head up. Why he had to go and get wasted, why did you have to be the one to pick him up… you’ll never know. You curse under your breath. Memories flood your brain looking into those dark eyes. But yet you can’t turn away. Why did he make you take the other earphone? Why did this song have to come on? Today’s not your day. The song makes you nostalgic. You remember the time you spent together. You don’t have to try hard at all to imagine what he looked like looking at you at this time of night, only in the comfort of your shared bed and his eyes filled with love. But that was back then. Does he miss you like you miss him? Does he sometimes get panicked because your side of the bed is cold and empty like you still do? You don’t ask the questions, so you’ll never know. His head on your shoulder is heavy, but his eyes are so gentle and lonely. You allow him to wrap his arms around your middle. It’s to keep him steady, you tell yourself as you will yourself not to blink, afraid you’ll lose him again.

People are making edits of you and your eighth bias and the song that they keep on using in this one.

Yuta (NCT) + I Need U - BTS

You join him in bed, slipping under the covers and cuddling up to him as he keeps scrolling through different social sites. You chuckle when he sighs in frustration as yet another edit of the two of you appears with the same song.

“I think as far as song selection goes, it could be worse,” you joke, “Could be a proper break up song or something.”

“I’m glad you’re having fun,” he growls, but you see him fighting back smile as well.

You watch the short video, a compilation of scenes from a variety show you’ve filmed together. The MC got a little too touchy for comfort, fans must have noticed. But they also noticed something you’ve failed to - Yuta’s reaction to what was going on.

“Did I really look like that?” he whines, burying his face into the crook of your neck.

“I’m not sure,” you admit, “But you look ready to kill, babe. It’s kind of romantic.”

“Romantic?” he asks, confused.

“Yeah, it makes me feel protected. The host really crossed some boundaries,” you sigh and feel his arms snake around your waist.

“Good thing you didn’t tell me back then,” he whispers, “Maybe they’d have more explicit content for their edits then.”

You laugh, but you know he’s being honest. You kiss the top of his to let him know you’re safe and right next to him.

[wooahaes]

Ahh we all have that one professor who makes u go ??? The fuck ??? At least 5 times in 20 mins lol I get you

Also the nct thing was purely by accident lol aksnsksms I initially listened to boom by nct dream, thought I’d listen to a couple more songs, fell down the rabbit hole and now I actively Stan 20+ men 💀 yeah I did that to myself lol but fr nct has some weird shit but a LOT of bops like if you like slow ballad type of stuff I recommend from home and my everything but nct u or if u like smth cute Touch by NCT 127 is p well liked by most people I introduce that song to! And most of nct dreams older songs are p cute too! I feel like you’ve made a grave mistake letting me talk ab NCT because I could go on FOREVER aksnsksms also I totally get the mark + Haechan duo lol I have a particular fondness for mark because we share the same birthday lol plus he’s so cute I just wanna fucking SQUISH

I would LOVE to hear you talk about Shinee!! All of their music fuckin SLAPS I’ve been obsessed with Body Rhythm every since it came out and like I got into the fandom p late so I don’t know much but I think taemin is fucking hilarious like he is very much my pathetic lil meow meow

-Baby Teume

literally i love her but the way she runs her classes... headache inducing. im probably going to scrape past with a C unless she decides to drop our lowest grade (highly unlikely but very welcome)

... my confession is that i actually enjoy sticker lmao like ik its not great ig? but i can still vibe with it

i have made NO mistake asking u to talk abt nct!!! pls talk to me about nct whenever u feel like it lmao i love hearing abt other ppls groups and the stuff they get passionate about!! literally i love when ppl give me song recs even if i dont end up getting into them bc its a lil 'hey i thought u might enjoy this' and i think thats sweet <3

i learned that marks emojis are a tiger and a lion and im like omg... tiger... another tiger boy to add to my collection. AND lions too??? mark nct ill give u a kiss omg /j

omg... u will regret asking me abt shinee i love them SO much. im ignoring the fact taemin just showed up on my playlist (highly recommend all of the shinee members solo stuff!!! i can absolutely give recs for my fave from each member even tho minho has like two songs to him rn but theyre both good fdkhdshf)

i always say taemin is my bias (hes adorable AND funny like... king stop my expectations are too high-) but i think im truly ot5 because all of them are so important to me. they were the first kpop group i ever listened to forever ago (sherlock (clue + note) is a legend and i love her so much), and i think dropping off shortly after getting into them (which would have been around 2015 because it was the time view came out) and then picking them a little over a year ago was genuinely like... something that really helped me out of a shitty place + hurt because i had missed the news about jonghyun entirely. but even then, i think its made me appreciate him and everything he's done so, so much. i won't get sappy but i truly love jonghyun so much and i'm glad he's no longer hurting. it'll always piss me off when people reduce him down to his death and nothing else because he was such a good person.

moving on from that before i get too emotional... i genuinely just love shinee a lot. i watched one of the shinee world concerts (IV i think?) earlier this year and its amazing how talented they were and still are. shinee truly helped pave the way and inspired so many idols and i adore them. its also fun to just watch them interact, tbh. i don't genuinely ship anyone because i find that weird, but minkey as a (platonic) pair are my faves lmao they always bicker like an old married couple but you can tell that they do love each other and are genuinely close friends.

and jinki!!! onew my beloved!!! i love him so much. he has such a warm presence and GOD his vocals... i die every time... coincidentally love phobia just came up on my playlist lmao but still!! highly recommend listening to DICE if u haven't!! the entire album itself is good but the title track is soo good <3 i always feel like i forget he's the leader of shinee because they're all so close-knit, it feels like they're all on completely equal footing even if jinki is the one leading them.

i didnt rly get into my love for taemin but genuinely i adore him. he's so, so talented both vocally and dance-wise, i love to see the difference between his stage persona (typically his solo persona lmao taemin and his slutty slutty music... <3) when he's really just this very sweet catholic man who apparently only really interacts with his group mates and a few others outside of that. he's so funny and i honestly admire every live he did where he spoke english and messed up and accepted his mistakes? like. learning a language is hard enough, especially one as fucking weird as english, but he just seems to eager to try speaking english and accepts his mistakes. i think he definitely has a very good support network both in the people helping him learn english (job-wise) and in having someone like key there to correct him (and maybe rib him a little bit--but it's all out of love). also i still think its really funny he broke into keys place to leave him a birthday cake and then proceeded to steal one of his jackets. stole my heart at the same time smh

i will stop here bc i still have two questions left on my final but !!! i will absolutely give u shinee recs if you want!! shinee has SUCH a good discography with only a few songs that are... not good at all lmao. but every group puts out some bad songs sometimes, especially when they've been around for a long time! nothing wrong w that! + i'll probs throw in recs from each member's solo career because i genuinely love a lot of their solo stuff as well <3

It ‘twas a good birthday. 🥳

I slept, watched Goblin, got surprised with some family and cake - and had my sister fill my living room with as many balloons as years I am now! 🤪 (Danger Will Robinson!)

Then finished out the night watching Jinki sing my socks off in his Onew Note concert. How I love that boy and how I love that concert. I thought it might not feel the same was as the first time but oh how it fills my heart and soul!

Happiness. 💜

SHINee in the Good Place:

lesson 4 - so what even are SOULMATES?

note: this is my favorite quote from The Good Place! and I use it to illustrate an important point... it really bothers me when people say that the SHINee members aren’t close with each other because of the above quote. first of all, the lyrics to “Our Page” are the most beautiful, honest, and touching lyrics about a group of people that I’ve ever heard. so there’s that.

second of all, we’re not living in a fucking rom-com. relationships, especially long lasting ones, whether they are familiar, platonic, or romantic, are really hard to maintain. like seriously, relationships are FUCKING DIFFICULT. one of my favorite things about SHINee, ever, is that they’ve never been unrealistic when describing their relationships with one another. all five of them have drastically different personalities, some of them fought when they were trainees (minkey), some of them never thought they would be in the same team (onkey), some of them never wanted to be in the same team (minkey again), and at least two of them have said publicly that living together in a dorm - and for several years, all in one room - was hellish (jongkey). as someone who is both extroverted and loves spending time with friends AND is very particular about personal space and alone time, this makes complete sense to me. but they adapted to each other so that they could continue working together, and somewhere along the line they developed a unique relationship that “is hard to put into words.” (as kibum said in his 2020 cosmopolitan interview)

sometimes, kpop feels like a competiton to see which group can say that they are the closest the most. but a real relationship isn’t about the number of times you can gush about being “an inseparable family” in front of a camera. the real work is done behind the scenes, and honestly, fans will never really know exactly what their faves’ relationship is really like. SHINee, the team as we know them, was put together by a company known as SM Entertainment in somewhere around 2007. I can confidently say that I’ve never seen a musical group that made more obvious sense together. on stage, they fill in each other’s gaps flawlessly, as they’ve said and as I felt when watching their concerts live. it’s like onew said in 2018: “we all always had the same goal... we were all at our happiest when we were together on stage.” but it’s pretty clear that their personal relationships weren’t always so magically seamless. and that’s okay!

in 2018, when asked about why SHINee has been able to go on for so long, kibum said: “버텼기 때문에” or “because we endured.” he went on to say that if each of them had done whatever they wanted to at the time, with no concern for the others, they probably wouldn’t have been sitting there together as a ten-year old group. instead, they held back their impulses as best they could and put in the time together. they adjusted to each other and tried to understand and accept each other’s differences. it reminded me of what Michelle Obama said in her autobiography, Becoming, about how her marriage to Barack Obama (yes, the most famous shawol in the world) never wavered in the face of immense public and private pressures: “You find ways to adapt. If you’re in it forever, there’s really no choice.” now that’s a really fucking realistic look at lifelong relationships.

in the end, for whatever reason, SHINee decided they were in it for the long haul. and then they adapted. they made it work. they’ve made wonderful music and awe-inspiring performances together, and their relationship has stood the ultimate test of time. and I happen to think that is so, so beautiful.

oh, and here’s my favorite ot5 picture! idk what that says about me, but enjoy~
