genre fluff pairing giselle x 5th member of aespa!reader warnings cursing

── ⟢ ・⸝⸝ katty ᥫ᭡: old draft, fun af

masterlist.

video start: HEY YALLLLL WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER VIDEO AFTER… six months… *vine boom*

i’ve put together a compilation of clips where giselle and y/n are practically throwing their relationship in our faces 😭😭

LETS GET RIGHT INTO ITTT

*technical difficulties screen*

clip 1!… 🎬 whiplash bts

the camera is focused on y/n as she drinks water during a break from their shooting.

“this is aeri-unnie’s killing part.” y/n beamed, mocking the choreo of her bandmate. the bandmate who she had no idea was behind her.

“the way she moves her hips is like this.” she demonstrated, fully in character. “move fast~” she giggled at the camera.

giselle had successfully sneaked up behind her, coming to grab her sides and eliciting a squeal from the younger.

“you’re making fun of me?” she caught the girl in her arms and she giggled to protest.

“no! no! i wasn’t!” y/n shook her head, holding giselle closer instead of fighting her grip.

“good. you better not be.” giselle leaned forward, turning her head to make eye contact with y/n.

[their hair colors remind me sm of my melody & kuromi… they had to coordinate it]

*technical difficulties screen*

clip 2!… 🎬 y/n’s first livestream after her mini-hiatus

“hello MYs! i missed you all so much.” she waved excitedly with her right hand.

she read the comments to see what everyone was saying, moving her hair out of her face and swaying side to side.

lascvitae: y/n has a ring on her finger… did she get married on hiatus 😳

[BYEEE THATS ME]

“i didn’t get married!” y/n laughed nervously, holding up her right hand again. “aeri-unnie gave me this ring.”

the ring had diamonds all around it with one big diamond in the middle.

overiem: bye that looks so expensive

“she didn’t tell me how much it cost at first.” y/n continued, running a hand through her hair. “she said i wouldn’t accept it.” she covered her mouth to laugh as she recalled the events.

[giselle spoiling her girlfriend… per usual]

aerichandesu ✓: don’t tell them how much it costs

aerichandesu ✓: that’s between me and you

“unnie said i can’t tell anyone! so next topic.” y/n clasped her hands together while fighting back a smile, sitting up to the camera and fixing her posture.

[not y/n tryna look good for giselle]

*techical difficulties screen*

clip 3!… 🎬 aespa at inkigayo while y/n is the mc

y/n is standing next to han yujin as they cover aespa and y/n can be seen blushing slightly.

cheers could be heard and y/n covered her face from embarrassment, coming together as giselle gave her an encouraging hand on the shoulder.

“today’s first place nominees… aespa!” y/n accounces and they both move out of the way to clap for the girls.

as karina counts down y/n almost does the greeting before stopping herself, laughing nervously and earning a quiet laugh from giselle. “cute.” she mouthed.

“nice to meet you! how does it feel?” yujin asked and y/n turned around to find giselle’s gaze burning holes through her head.

[did giselle even blink… LMAO]

“it’s such an honor to be nominated alongside with other amazing artists! please look forward to our performances and thank you for the support!” even though winter was speaking into the camera and everyone was focused on her, giselle only focused on y/n.

“for whiplash… the choreo was very captivating. the charisma is off the charts!” yujin exclaimed before looking back at all of the girls.

“we worked really hard for this comeback so we hope you guys enjoy it!” ningning clapped, nodding as yeonjun continued to speak after she finished.

“we’re enjoying it! lastly, should we hear about what you guys will do if you get first place?” he asked.

“if we get first place…” giselle started, looking at the camera. “we’ll perform an encore of whiplash and two other songs that you all choose.” she held up the number two and the fans cheered.

“then i’ll go shopping with my favorite person in the world.” giselle looked directly at y/n and blew a kiss.

the crowd cheered and y/n covered her face, blushing again. “oh!” yujin stifled a laugh before clapping and y/n regained her composure before catching the kiss with a flirty smile.

[tf they got going on?]

“we’ll look at the results in a bit. shall we introduce the next stage?” y/n asked, turning to look at aespa.

“let’s meet purple kiss’ stage. music cue!”

*technical difficulties screen*

Tempo by exo is genuinely one of the best songs i've heard in my life. The harmony, the little adlibs, the INSANE acapella bridge (which wasnt planned btw. The members legit thought it would be fun and just 'yes and' that section), xiumin's electrocuted hair and kai's twink ass crop top .... changed my life fr

Time to put exo's whole discography on repeat cause its That Type of day

Chapter Two: Mine.

Summary

As a hardworking trainee, you’ve spent years pushing yourself to debut. When the final evaluation comes, you’re chosen as the sole candidate—but what you don’t realize is that your fate was already sealed. BTS, the seven men you idolized, manipulated everything to make sure you were theirs.

At first, their attention feels like a blessing to aid you as a trainee. Then, it becomes suffocating. Their possessiveness turns them against each other, each one willing to destroy the others just to have you alone.

⚠️ Content Warnings: ⚠️

Intense competition & high pressure, Verbal & emotional manipulation, Psychological stress & anxiety, Mild violence & aggression (dragged by security), Favoritism & corruption, Strong language, smut, y/n is 18+

The decision had been made long before the final evaluations.

The others just hadn’t known it yet.

But as soon as they saw her—really saw her—there was no denying it.

Yoongi had chosen her.

And they understood why.

The first time he saw her

It was late.

Long after most of the trainees had left for the night, after the halls had emptied and the building had settled into an eerie quiet. The only sound was the faint bass of music bleeding through the practice room walls.

Yoongi had no reason to stop.

He had places to be, things to do, a schedule to keep. He wasn’t supposed to waste time on trainees who were still years away from debuting—girls who trained relentlessly only to be discarded when they weren’t good enough.

But something made him pause.

Something pulled at him, made him glance through the small window in the door.

And there she was.

Alone. Moving like she wasn’t practicing, like she wasn’t rehearsing for an evaluation. She was simply feeling the music, her body responding in a way that was instinctive, effortless.

Yoongi’s gaze narrowed on her, eyes wandering over every part of her as if he was relishing a piece of art.

She wasn’t the best dancer he’d ever seen. She wasn’t perfect. But there was something about her that felt  inviting—something that sent a slow, twisting ache through his chest and butterflies in his stomach.

And then she smiled.

It wasn’t the kind of smile that trainees perfected in front of a camera. It wasn’t for anyone but herself. No, It was unfiltered, genuine and a display of a pure joy as she completed her choreo.

Yoongi needed it, needed her.

Something struck him as he lingered far too long as she packed her things.

It wasn’t admiration. It wasn’t love.

It was possession.

She didn’t know it yet, but she was already his.

He could have walked away then. Should have walked away.

But he didn’t.

He couldn’t.

Because in that moment, something inside him snapped into place.

And the thought of not seeing that smile again, or having to share her else made him sick.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You’re out of your mind.”

Namjoon barely looked up from his paperwork, flipping through the trainee evaluation reports as his members filled various spots around his studio.

“One girl,” Yoongi repeated, his voice flat, final. “Not five. Just her.”

Namjoon sighed, setting his pen down. “The company’s been planning a five-member group for years. They’ve already picked out the concept, the marketing strategy, the whole damn brand. You can’t just—”

“They’re wrong.”

Jin, who had been listening quietly, leaned back in his chair. “Yoongi, I get it. She’s talented, but why her? Why are you pushing this so hard?”

Yoongi didn’t answer immediately.

How was he supposed to explain it? That when he had seen her, something inside him snapped? That the thought of her debuting with anyone else, standing beside other people, being claimed and becoming close with someone that wasn't him made his blood run cold.

She belonged to him.

Even if she didn’t know it yet.

Even if no one else understood.

Namjoon studied him carefully, his sharp mind calculating the consequences. “The company isn’t going to throw out years of planning just because you—”

“Then make them.”

Namjoon’s lips pressed into a thin line and his dragon eyes bore holes into Yoongi.

It wasn’t that easy. They were just artists, even as BTS. The higher-ups made the decisions, and idols followed orders. That was how the industry worked. But Yoongi never pushed like this. He never asked for anything.

Which mean't this was different.

Namjoon exhaled, dragging a hand down his tired face. “Fine. But if I do this, we need leverage. A reason they can’t ignore.” 

A reason other than Yoongi is obsessed with her and will burn this company to the ground if she debuts with anyone else.

Jimin, who had been watching the exchange with mild amusement, leaned in. “What if we offer to mentor her?”

The room went silent.

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. “What, like—officially?”

“It makes sense,” Hoseok said slowly, his mind already working through the logistics. “If they debut her solo, she won’t have groupmates to lean on. That’s a risk. But if BTS is backing her, guiding her—”

“It becomes an investment instead of a gamble,” Jin finished, nodding. “The company wouldn’t say no to that.”

Namjoon tapped his fingers against the table. He could already see how he would present it—how he would convince the executives that this was a strategic decision rather than a reckless one.

“This could work,” he murmured, more to himself than anyone else. “If we frame it right.”

Yoongi’s grip on his coffee cup tightened. “Then do it.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Namjoon knew how to win arguments.

He knew how to read people, how to anticipate concerns before they were voiced. He walked into the executive meeting armed with numbers, predictions, and an unwavering confidence that made people listen.

“A five-member girl group would be successful, yes,” he admitted, pacing in front of the long conference table. “But a solo artist—backed by BTS—has the potential to be unstoppable.”

The executives exchanged glances.

“You want us to shift our entire debut strategy on a whim?” one of them asked, skeptical.

Namjoon smiled, sharp and knowing. “Not on a whim. On data.”

He laid out projections, comparisons to past solo debuts, the global market trends favouring soloists. He spoke about the rising influence of personal branding, how a single artist—carefully cultivated—could command a presence stronger than an entire group.

And then he played the footage.

Footage that would be her true final evaluation.

The room fell silent as she performed, her voice clear and steady, her movements precise but filled with something more. Something that made it impossible to look away.

Namjoon had seen Yoongi fall under her spell.

Now it was the executives’ turn.

When the video ended, no one spoke.

And Namjoon knew they had already lost the fight.

Because he had felt it.

Because they had felt it.

The undeniable truth.

She was meant to stand alone.

She was meant to belong to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They stood behind the one-way glass, unseen, as she performed for the judges for her “final examination”.

And as soon as they saw her, the others understood.

Jungkook, who had brushed it off as nothing more than Yoongi’s usual stubbornness, felt his chest tighten as she moved.

Jimin, who had laughed at Yoongi’s obsession, found himself leaning forward, lips parted slightly.

Hoseok, who had hesitated, felt something cold settle in his stomach.

Jin exhaled slowly, eyes unreadable.

Taehyung’s fingers twitched.

And Namjoon—Namjoon, who had convinced the company to make this happen, who had gone against everything he stood for—felt an unfamiliar kind of fear.

Because she was captivating.

Because Yoongi had been right.

Because she was going to ruin them all.

She had no idea.

She had no idea that every step, every note, every ounce of effort she poured into proving herself was pointless.

That the decision had been made before she even walked into the room.

And Yoongi—Yoongi watched her like a predator.

The moment they announced her name, when her lips parted in shock, when her hands trembled slightly—he felt something swell in him. Pride. Pride in knowing that he had secured her future and given her the life she deserves.

She was confused.

Why her?

Why just one?

And he wanted to laugh. Because she didn’t know, didn’t realize that her entire world had already been rewritten.

That she had never had a choice.

But that was fine.

He had enough patience for the both of them.

And soon, she would understand.

She was his.

She had always been his.

Hi guys! I'm Ava, this is my first time writing a fanfic or really any story. If you guys would like to see anything in this fic, or have any suggestions, then please let me know! I intend to update this fic at least once every three days. Not sure how many chapters it is going to be, but it should be more than 30! All the love,

Ava :)

[mimikoolover]

anyone else notice that jikook have their own little parts in bts choreos quite a lot? no more dream, black swan, best of me, run bts is just what i can remember rn. then obviously they also did dance covers together. i think that's really cool and speaks to their chemistry...and tbh it's not even because their dance styles are similar because they're not (imo)😂so it's nice that even in group choreos they're still 'paired up'!

[wooziloves]

Realizing that that piece of footwork in CBZ that all the boys were struggling with is the same as the point choreo in Run BTS and Hoshi just effectively taught me how to finally do that step correctly.

Here’s our BSS with their choreographer

And then bts

Here you can see that JK, and Hobi too, are especially the masters of this step, so clean and their weight is perfectly distributed

(I’ve been trying to figure out who was the choreographer for CBZ bc I was curious to see if they had the same one, haven’t had any luck yet)

Checkered Sunshine & Neon Rainbows (2)

Summary: Lumi crashes BTS rehearsal, turning choreo into comedy, starting debates on home decor, and surviving Jin’s snack-based love language.

Chapter 2: Practice, Paint, and Peach Iced Tea

Lumi’s mismatched Vans tapped impatiently against the studio floor as J-Hope adjusted his headband, shooting them a behave glare that they promptly ignored. The BTS rehearsal space buzzed with warm-up stretches and half-hearted debates about lunch orders. But the second the members spotted Lumi leaning against the mirrored wall, chaos erupted.

“LUMMMIIII!” Jungkook launched across the room first, nearly tripping over his sweatpants to ruffle their orange-streaked hair. “Where’s my frog painting? You promised!”

“It’s drying, Uncle Koo,” they laughed, dodging his noogie attempt. “You can’t rush art.”

Jimin swooped in next, squishing their cheeks. “Look at this outfit. Are you trying to outshine us?” He gestured at their rainbow sweater vest, star-patched jeans, and glittering gummy bear necklace. “Stealing your appa’s drip, huh?”

“It’s called collaboration,” Lumi retorted, sticking out their tongue.

Jin materialized with a bag of strawberry gummies. “Eat. You’re skinnier than Yoongi’s patience.”

“Yah!” Yoongi didn’t look up from his water bottle, but his lips twitched. “Keep the chaos contained, Hob-ah. Last time they ‘helped’ with choreography, I found glitter in my shoes for weeks.”

“Glitter’s a lifestyle, Uncle Yoongi,” Lumi chirped, popping a gummy into their mouth.

---

Rehearsals began, and Lumi melted into the back corner, subtly mirroring the choreo for Dynamite. At first, they matched J-Hope’s steps perfectly—sharp, precise, all sunshine energy. But by the second run-through, their ADHD brain kicked in. They started improvising: adding exaggerated arm waves, a cheeky body roll during Namjoon’s verse, and a freestyle frog-hop move that had Jimin snort-laughing mid-spin.

“Yah, Lumi-ya!” J-Hope fake-scolded, sweat dripping down his neck. “Are you mocking me?”

“Never!” they gasped, batting their green-lined eyes. “Just… evolving the art!”

Taehyung threw them a water bottle. “Next tour, you’re our backup dancer. Namjoon-hyung can’t two-step to save his life.”

“I heard that!” Namjoon called from the speakers, but he was grinning.

---

During the break, Jin reappeared with a grande strawberry-peach iced tea, straw already pierced. “For the artist,” he announced, bowing dramatically.

Lumi seized it like a lifeline. “Marry me, Uncle Jin.”

“Tempting, but your appa would cry. Besides marrying is Yoongi's job.”

J-Hope flopped onto the floor beside them, towelling off his hair. “Speaking of art… Guess who painted their bedroom wall checkerboard yesterday?”

The room erupted.

“Without asking?” Jimin gasped, clutching his chest. “Rebellious phase! Finally!”

Yoongi pointed at J-Hope’s paint-stained sneakers. “And you helped? Parenting fails.”

“It was symbolic!” Lumi protested, waving their iced tea. “The three ‘wrong’ squares represent, like… breaking societal norms or whatever.”

Namjoon nodded solemnly. “Deep. Very Banksy of you.”

Taehyung fake-whispered to Jungkook, “Next they’ll graffiti Yoongi’s studio.”

“I’ll disown you all,” Yoongi deadpanned.

---

By 3 PM, Lumi’s energy was a live wire. They’d danced through every song, redesigned Jin’s shoelaces into “abstract art,” and rambled nonstop about dopamine decor. But as the group debated the bridge of Butter, J-Hope noticed their leg jiggling wildly, their fingers twisting a frog ring round and round.

“Wrap it up,” he called abruptly, cutting off Jungkook’s drumming experiment. “We’ll pick this up Monday.”

The members followed his gaze to Lumi, now pacing by the mirrors, muttering about “neon hexagons” and “disco ball terrariums.”

“Go,” Jin shooed them, smirking. “Before they short-circuit.”

---

Goodbyes were a blur of hair ruffles, promises to “stay safe” by Namjoon, and a fist bump from Jungkook - “Frog painting. Soon.”. Lumi practically vibrated into the passenger seat of J-Hope’s car, their rainbow socks glowing against the dashboard.

“Dongdaemun. Dongdaemun. Dongdaemun,” they chanted like a mantra, kicking their feet.

J-Hope started the engine, side-eyeing their neon-green eyeliner and the BT21 pin gleaming on their vest. “You know we’re just buying supplies, right? Not… burning down the mall?”

“Appa.” They grinned, buckling their seatbelt with a click. “I make no promises.”

As they pulled onto the highway, Lumi cranked up Halsey’s I am not a woman, I’m a god, singing off-key and air-drumming. J-Hope let them ride the dopamine high, stealing glances at their reflection—paint still clinging to their hairline, freckles smudged with glitter, alive and unstoppable.

Their mother’s smile. His chaos. Perfect.

I need bts to disband and jimin to be free

To each their own, but i have a genuine question what is bts disbanding gonna free jimin of? if this is in reaction to stan twitter drama and antis, not even bts disbanding will do it imo and if they disband jimin is gonna officially without hiding it be the new bp for so called armys and this time without having to do all of that through groupchats and getting exposed for it..which i mean its a change but also not really a change so idk. Like who is it really benefitting, the chronically online fans that are active in these fan spaces or him...

If there is another reasonning i'd love to hear it.

For me personally i don't think i'll be ever be able to say i want bts to disband as long as i still see that the groups existence is smth that jimin deeply cares about and that he is attached to and wants to continue in, will never wish for that to be taken from him, unless it gets to a point where he wants it and by then i believe he will still be able to make his own choice. Another thing is (and again this is my personal view on things) if i ever get to a point where i want BTS to disband or not care if they do, it will have to directly do with the groups music and synergy in itself and what they present as a group (on stage/music releases...) and if it gets to a point where what i think they bring to the table isn't there anymore for me then i'll take a step back and most probably only stay attached to the old long years of my journey with them and their music. But in an honesty even then i won't be able to completely lock out if jimin is still in it who am i lying to lol.

Edit: But also the last memory tbh that i have of BTS as a group was a good one, it was with the BUSAN concert where they perfomed RUN BTS live with the choreo for the first time and that was the essence of BTS and how they ended the group chapter and if they pick up from there it will be great.

The Future of Jikook

After watching the video and GMA soundcheck performance on Friday and then seeing all the contradictory reactions on line to the song and its reception, I have been quietly mulling things over here in my little corner of the internet.

There are so many fan feelings conflating here. Those who want JK to turn into the BTS Harry Styles, those who are still smarting over the way changes to BB affected the trajectory of FACE, those who feel that the breakout of one member is a threat to ever seeing BTS as a band again. It makes for a tense, emotional and chaotic time on-line especially on Twitter where people tend to have a knee jerk reaction to anything that is said and nuance is completely lost.

Look into yourself and I am sure you will find a whole load of contradictory emotions lapping at your consciousness right now. What I have found myself thinking however, is how does all this noise affect the members and in particular Jimin and Jungkook?

Making Choices

One question that came to mind was why did Jungkook pick this song for his solo debut. What is it that he likes about it and how does that differ from the way SB sees or is marketing the song. During Festa 2023 I commented on the transformation that JK has been through since last year. He has made a conscious effort to shake off the maknae part of the golden maknae starting with his deal with Calvin Klein and all the swooning I am seeing on Tumblr shows that he has succeeded. As Yoongi said, JK is all grown up.

Then I was thinking about JK's musical choices, who and what he listens to and I remembered earlier this year he sang the Sam Smith and Kim Petras hit Unholy on one of his lives. If you also recall he later scolded Jimin for being prudish about the song on his own live.

Twitter Link

JK was obviously ready to move into more explicit territory even then. So what about Seven made him think this is the song that launches me as the new and more mature JK.

I think for one thing, the lyrics are sensual and not gender specific. I am in the "loving you right" lyric camp because it gives a more mutual gratification feel to the song in keeping with the other lyrics as opposed to the macho stud, I'm a sex machine, version.

Jungkook wants to ease his lover's mind, he want to trace their lines, he loves how they wrap around him when they make love, he is devoted, his love runs deep and when they are together he wants to make sure his lover is satisfied and feeling that afterglow.

So yes JK is going to be talking about sex from now on along with almost everyone else in the Western music industry. Along with Jimin for example. As a side note, I still don't quite understand my overwhelmingly visceral reaction to the Like Crazy MV. It's f**king art and so is he.

Now SB and his cronies know the audience they are playing to and we will get symbolically het videos both for this and what is rumoured to be his completely English speaking solo album but even this video, which to be honest I have dumped in favour of the live performance and the choreo video, went for humour rather than full out fangirl wish fulfillment. I mean that may also come but I get the feeling that somewhere down the line they are going to need to pivot hard.

What do jikook want?

Secondly, I was thinking what do jikook want both severally and individually. All the members have an enviable work ethic and a deep love of music but the emphasis that these two and JHope put on performance is legendary. Look at Jimin here monitoring between shoots for his music shows in the behind the scenes video this week. He is serious about giving his best even when he himself is not in the best physical condition.

They are both ambitious and are looking for longevity in the industry and importantly, and prefacing this with an, in my opinion, this is something they want to do together. Neither wants the other to get left behind and I think that is what they are fighting for right now.

Whatever you think about their bond, it cannot be dismissed and the sequence of events of the last few weeks for me just reinforces that. Everyone noticed the way their relationship was highlighted in the Beyond the Story book (just started my copy yesterday but I couldn't resist the spoilers last week) to the extent that Variety went on a fishing expedition which JK expertly deflected.

Jimin is in New York right now and Jikook were seen dining together the night he arrived. We don't know what Jimin's schedule is but we can assume that he will take advantage of the visit to also support Jungkook as he has done with the other members when his schedule allowed. Jungkook is important to Jimin and vice versa.

Has everyone already forgotten the amount of promo that JK has done for Jimin over the last few months. Here he is listening to JKIVE's Golden Hour who we later found out was collaborating with Jimin on Angel Parts I and II.

So this is the perspective that I am going to adopt from here on in when I react to content. I am going to ask myself does my reaction help or hinder jikook in being able to continue working together towards their aim of further success in the music industry. I will veto anything designed to drive a wedge between them, be that from the company or the fans and I will continue to work hard for them in the way that a fan can buying, streaming and supporting their music and their content. There is even word on the grapevine that there maybe some jikook collaboration and/or content on the way. I'll be watching out for that.

Wow quick update something is definitely coming.

[not-goldy]

Some people clearly don't get it. NDA's are a given from BTS. I imagine they probably don't want to do it, but Hybe for sure isn't gonna let these men run around sleep with random people and have them not sign NDA's and run the risk of ruining BTS reputation. Look at Raven Simone who admitted she made all her partners sign NDA's including her wife. That's show business. And it means the person can't do anything or say anything to link to you without risk of being sued or jailed depending on the contract.

Take Nain for example. When Jk DM'd her and everyone was screaming he was a pedo cause she's underage, she stopped and he stopped. He was posting about her often, even tagging her on IG doing her choreo and she was running around showing his DM's and changing her YT name to what he suggested (which is the same name he has on Bam's IG, but just a play on the word Night/Bam) but did you see how quick it took for her to be silenced? So you think JK magically stopped interacting with her and she just decided to be done with him? Or was it he told her to be quiet or Hybe told her to be quiet and respect his privacy and she respected that? Even as friends or Jk just being supportive, Hybe wants no dating scandals. Which is what people were suggesting about him and Nain. So either JK or Hybe set her straight. Which is why when Tae's leaks happened they weren't prepared and didn't know what to say. They couldn't deny it cause it's clearly him in all them pictures with jennie and in Jeju in the car and in Paris. They could only say we don't comment on artists personal lives. Then Tae said fuck it and went public with her holding her hand, cause its the only way he can confirm cause he can't verbally. He said I'm Kim Taehyung bitch. I made Hybe, Hybe didn't make me and he went on vacation with his girlfriend and showed her off to the world. However he went quiet shortly after Paris, which should tell you Hybe does in fact have the last say. Which is shameful, but its their policy. So anyone who thinks someone is gonna hook up with BTS, get cozy in their house and take videos of it and then slowly leak those videos on their own personal IG's, are insane. They would use burner accounts or be anonymous untraceable sources, cause they know they'd be breaking an NDA and going up against Hybe & BTS. Nain found out the hard way. If You brag about DM's. You find out. So I don't believe Jimin's lie being spread. Sorry and I do believe JK when he says he has no GF. So that means whoever was on that tape is nothing to him or its over, if there was even something. Jikook are together right now and nothing can change that and It's all I'm focused on right now.

I agree... except Hybe can't force them to use one in their personal affairs.

It defeats the whole purpose of NDAs if hybe could force them to due to something called privity of contracts and duress and undue influence which legally vitiates contracts💀

It would be easy for them to get out of such contract if they could show hybe forced them to use them🥴

If a clause like that exists it would be unenforceable.

Whatever power hybe has over them is in yet another contract called their contract of employment which controls relations between them and hybe and not third parties who aren't privy to the contract and its nothing they haven't willingly agreed to. Hybe cannot contract with them to bind a third party who has not agreed to that contract.

I think Hybe can advice them to use them for their own good but can't require them to use them in their personal lives. Think about it, no one would want to fuck with them if they felt the company could come after them and no one would sign that NDA either. a provision like that would make it too tedious for them to navigate human relationships.

It's their personal lives, something they have to decide on with their personal lawyers and not hybe.

If hybe is requiring them to that's over stepping their boundaries and they need to lawyer up fast.

But I do see what you mean and I agree

Out of Frame- BTS xReader TEASER

Director!ReaderxOT7 FilmProducer!ReaderxOT7 Dancer!ReaderxOT7 Choreographer!ReaderxOT7

“Run! Bangtan USAAAAAaaaa”, Jungkook yelled while lifting his arms like an airplane and running towards you and the camera.

“And cut!”, You yelled with a laugh as the cameraman hit the button and the recording light shut off. Turning your attention to the iPad in front of you to make sure that enough coverage was shot for today, you fail to notice that Jungkook continued to run past the camera, picking you up as you were scrolling through today’s shotlist.

“Jungkook!” you protested feeling embarrassed.

“Ah- ah…Jungkook what? Is there no respect?” Jungkook says while continuing to run you over to the rest of the boys.

You rolled your eyes, “Jungkook seunbaenim” you said.

“Ew! No thats so formal” he retorted while carrying you over to the other members

“We’re at work?” you question

“Yes, but we're also friends aren’t we? Like we call Bang PD Hyung”

“Yeah but if we were following formalities you’d be calling me PD-nim”, you chuckle while looking at Namjoon over Jungkook’s shoulder with a “help me” look in your eyes.

“She’s right this is unprofessional Jungkook, put PD-nim down!” Namjoon ordered the younger one.

“You didn't have an issue with being unprofessional last night…” Jungkook softly grumbled as he set you down in front of Jimin.

A smack immediately met him to the back of the head by Jin

“Thanks Hyung”, Namjoon said looking sheepishly at you.

Jimin immediately wrapped his arms around you, peeking over the shoulder at your iPad.

You sighed but accepted the hug as Jimin put his cheek on the top of your head and asked, “are we done for the day?”

“Yeah, THATS A WRAP FOR TODAY!” you yell as everyone erupts into cheers, including Jimin who lifts his arms up celebrating.

You quickly scuttle away trying to get away from your boys and taking a look at the schedule for Monday. Namjoon’s long legs quickly catch up to you as he falls into step beside you.

“Do you want to ride back to the hotel in the same car?”he eagerly questioned. You smiled down at your iPad still looking at the the 5am call time for Monday. You wanted to say yes but it was only your first month working as a producer and director for Run! BTS USA and you really did not want to raise any more red flags to the rest of the crew. Everyone knew you were friends with the boys beforehand, having been a choreographer and creative director in Korea, but as a female friend you really didn’t need anyone to call HR on your close friendship with the boys.

“I still have some stuff to sort out before heading back, you go ahead and I’ll see you later maybe ok?”

“ah-ok! Please don’t work to hard PD-nim” Namjoon says with a professional nod. But you can tell he’s a bit disappointed, you try your best to hide your smile at the fondness you have for this man as you remember where this all started.

1 year ago

You paced back and forth looking at your laptop screen, ignoring cafegoers stares as you as you try to get your creative ideas to coalesce. You had been trying to develop this pitch deck for hours and you just can’t find the right reference shots for a few slides. You continue to wrack your brain thinking of what else to type into your search engines to find something closer to the reference shots you want. You sigh and decide to give up on trying to find the perfect reference shot as you sit back down because one too many Koreans in the cafe were staring at you. You had been at the cafe since the morning working, emailing and taking meetings with crews for upcoming projects in pre-production, writing, and working on your pitches.

As you open up your iPad and begin shittily drawing the shot you’re envisioning you see a text from your friend pop up on you laptop screen “class at 6 still? Choreo after? Lmk now so I can book the studio”. You text her back that you’re still down as you begin to play the song you’re developing choreography to while you continue to try to draw the shot you want. You stand your iPad up next to your laptop looking at your shitty drawing before laughing and leaning back in your chair and closing your eyes. You let the music play and you let your body casually move thinking up ideas for your choreo session later, focusing on your arms as you were sitting down and trying not to draw attention to yourself as a brown foreigner in Korea.

A tap on your shoulder startles you as you open your eyes to see a man wearing a mask pointing at your screens. You quickly remove your headphones as you squint at the person speaking to you, feeling like they are familiar somehow. They are speaking in Korean.

You embarrassedly rattle off one of the only Korean phrases you know perfectly. “Sorry, what was that? I don’t speak Korean well.”

I’ve never done this before but I started writing this as a brain cleanse from everything else I’m writing pls lmk if you want me to keep writing I already have some more than this

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

What are your thoughts on:

- Whether Taekook will be louder after MS? I think they’ll still be moving towards a glass closet because they are still in SK.

- The vibe in JK’s latest live, “I can’t show you upstairs” definitely gave “this is my prescribed man cave” location in the house - the spouse says this is as far as you go.

I wouldn't say they will be louder as such, but more confident being 'seen' together out and about, and I also think BigHit will show more of their interactions outside of Run BTS and paid content.

I think for the most part we will not see much of his apartment... yet. Though we'll see glimpses through Bam, as hr posts more via those accounts.

I see the room in the live as less a mancave and more a space to record songs (it looks like there is some potential there), dance (rehearse choreo), do live streams in a sound proofed space (no fear of upsetting the neigbours) and to socialise in (I could see him hosting small private parties with friends and associates). It gave off HYBE rehearsal room vibes.

As for the reast of the house, I think he's just moved in and there rest of the space is a mess. I think when he moved to that other flat it felt like it wasn't lived in. I would not be surprised to discover that JK put a shit tonne of stuff in storage, plus all the new furniture, it'll probably won't be fully ready for weeks (perhaps months) given he's not their all the time.

INTERVIEW

JUNGWON: “That’s my only option. Because ENGENE’s my everything”

ENHYPEN ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream- comeback interview

2024.11.20

It’s a regular everyday occurrence for JUNGWON now for ENGENE to keep popping into his head.

You write a lot on Weverse about how it’s getting colder. It must be that time of year you bring out your beloved orange and khaki scarf and orange hoodie. [Note: This interview took place on October 24.]

JUNGWON: For sure. I wrote about it being cold today, too. (laughs) But I actually like it better when it’s cold if I’m working. I keep waiting for the perfect timing to bring those clothes out. (laughs)

On Weverse LIVE, you talked about how going for walks doesn’t feel very effective and how you want to try running instead, but it’s getting cold out.

JUNGWON: I noticed everyone was doing some self-improvement in their free time. I mean, there are times where I do my own work, too, but I wanted to be more efficient about it. I’m not doing much to boost my endurance if I spend my break time just walking around aimlessly. But you also have to have more determination than you might expect to take up running. I’m planning to give it a go before the comeback. (laughs)

You’ve recently kicked off your WALK THE LINE world tour at the same time that you’re busy getting ready for the comeback with your new album.

JUNGWON: It actually doesn’t feel that intense to me. My main focus is on making sure no one leaves disappointed after coming to see us. And even though we perform a lot, some people there might be seeing us for the very first time. The thought of that keeps me sharp. I just keep thinking, “Alright!” and do each section. And before I know it, the section would be over. (laughs)

You were moving all over the place while performing “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC),” starting out on a platform on the main stage and going down to where the stage juts out.

JUNGWON: Yes. I even had to go up the stairs at the end. With choreo, I can just memorize it, but it gets a little confusing moving all around and constantly having to think about where to go. (laughs) And then it rained on the second night, so the stage got slippery, which I didn’t see coming. I got flustered seeing as I had to dance and move around under unexpected circumstances like that.

Really? I didn’t even notice. That just goes to show you hold nothing back the whole time you’re performing.

JUNGWON: To be honest, I don’t know how much I should give ENGENE for them to feel satisfied with it, so I always want to give them more if possible. And I felt especially empowered by them this time since the stage was pretty low and I could see ENGENE more clearly than usual. Even though it was super cold that day, I could see them enjoying themselves during “Highway 1009.” It was an emotional experience for me. I’m still awestruck seeing things like that while performing, even though I’ve been doing this for years. I feel so grateful that what I do can genuinely make someone happy.

I saw you put on a lot of impressive performances, but the way you did the intro to “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)” so energetically was especially memorable.

JUNGWON: I told them during the FATE PLUS tour that, if we got to perform that song at the next concert, then I’d like to do it holding a mic. I like those mics because you can gesture and express yourself in a more natural way. And the goal for WALK THE LINE, our current tour, was to show something completely different, so “Future Perfect” was chosen to be a key moment in the set list. Even now, the concert director and I flatter ourselves, saying we’re doing a great job with it. (laughs)

You clearly love to perform.

JUNGWON: There’s nothing more fun than performing. (laughs) I mean, that’s what our job is, after all. I saw BTS’s LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF THE FINAL concert in 2019, and I thought to myself, When will I finally debut and get to perform on a stage like that? It was my dream to put on a concert like that. Then one day, I got to stand onstage with ENGENE right in front of me, and I was so happy and amazed. I also saw videos ENGENE posted on social media of our last concert for FATE, and it made me realize how much we’ve grown and how amazing everyone in the group is.

It feels like you’ve grown even more with your new album, ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream-. The track “Daydream” is your first urban hip hop song, and one that you whisper rap almost all the way through.

JUNGWON: Right. It’s real hip hop. We actually had a few options to choose from, but we went with “Daydream” because we figured it could show an entirely new side to us. The whole group agreed that we should try something new rather than something we’re tried and tested at, since we haven’t done much hip hop before. Singing’s just hitting the right notes, but the fact that you have to be so quiet to whisper rap was surprisingly challenging. (laughs) There’s also a part with singing in the second version and I worked hard to record that, too.

The choreography for the lead single, “No Doubt,” is quite something. Wasn’t it hard to capture the right feeling when you have to keep changing the intensity of your dance moves and move around that much?

JUNGWON: “No Doubt” might not look that hard, but it’s deceptively challenging. For me, it’s actually harder than “Teeth.” That one’s very dynamic and looks challenging, but it actually isn’t that hard when you’re doing the dance. “No Doubt,” on the other hand, has a different move every single frame, and it was really hard practicing it and perfecting all those little details. You can’t run all the moves through your head while you’re dancing, so I had to practice it over and over until I developed muscle memory for it.

One of the real highlights is the part with your back pockets.

JUNGWON: I’m actually supposed to slip my hands into my pockets nice and smooth for that, but I’ve missed it a lot. (laughs) And since that part’s less about precision and more about feeling, it took us a long time to get the timing down. We joked with each other, Don’t we usually have a mic pack in our back pockets? How can we put our hands in? And we found out they gave us an extra pocket and checked on that. And I loved the vibe when I first saw the rough choreography and tried hard to capture the same feeling. That move’s got a lot of "kick!" (laughs)

“Kick”? (laughs) Did you watch Culinary Class Wars?

JUNGWON: Yes. I’ve only seen shorts of it, since it kept popping up in my feed, but I saw so many that I’ve pretty much seen the whole thing. When I’m taking a break, I watch short-form videos or lie down in bed and go on Weverse. To be honest, I find getting up such a hassle that I barely ever go out into the living room, even. So now I’m thinking about switching to a king-size bed.

I saw you act in EN-DRAMA, and you’re an absolute natural. Did watching short-form videos help with that?

JUNGWON: Wow, you watched EN-DRAMA? (laughs) When we went to shoot the UNTOLD concept cinema video before, I had some acting lessons, and the acting coach told me, “The best way to act natural is to talk the way you normally do.” So, instead of imitating someone else, I just acted like myself. I imagined how ENGENE would react and just had fun with it. If ENGENE found it entertaining, that’s good enough for me.

It seems like ENGENE is at the forefront of your mind in everything you do. For example, you gave out little microphone keychains to fans when you went to the UNSEEN exhibit.

JUNGWON: That was just to give ENGENE some fun. I mean, surprises are always fun, right? Plus, haven’t you ever thought of someone while you were just going about your everyday business? Everyone’s got something that works its way into every part of their life, whether it’s a person or something else. I’m the same way. Of course I think about ENGENE—they’re my everything.

Your new single “No Doubt” is about being separated from someone and realizing you love them even more than you thought you did.

JUNGWON: One time, I was separated from the rest of the group for over a week because of COVID-19. When we finally saw each other again, we were so happy that we just sat there and talked for three or four hours straight. (laughs) Being apart definitely makes the heart grow fonder. And actually, our relationship with ENGENE is like that, too. We’re not always together the way the members of the group are, so our times apart are longer. I think ENGENE probably misses us even more than I miss them. You miss someone even more after you see them. I tried to interpret the song within that framework—how strongly ENGENE feels for us while they wait for us to come around again.

On the flip side, how long do you think you could wait for ENGENE if they were the ones who weren’t around?

JUNGWON: As JUNGWON, the ENHYPEN member? Or as plain Yang Jungwon?

Both.

JUNGWON: As an ENHYPEN member JUNGWON, I’d wait for ENGENE forever. I’d spend the time until we could meet again doing everything I could—just like I was busy putting on performances even when there was no one directly in front of me during the pandemic. Nothing changes when you’re not doing anything, so I’d find something—anything—to do while waiting. Um, as for regular Yang Jungwon … I guess I’d still keep waiting? That’s my only option. Because ENGENE’s my everything.

In some of your concert-closing remarks, you talked about how an ENGENE said, “I like ENHYPEN because you don’t need to find a reason to like them.”

JUNGWON: The kind of relationship dynamic where someone loves you so much, that you don’t need to do anything special for them to like you, and you just feel content being together, is what you would typically find in a family or romantic relationship. So it was amazing to hear that from ENGENE. It was really nice, but I’m also careful not to take it for granted or get complacent. I try to maintain certain standards to make sure I never disappoint ENGENE, and I mean that in a good way. I think I have to maintain those things to make sure we have good interactions as artists and fans.

You pointed out in the “Friendship EN-CAMP” episode of EN-O’CLOCK that you all “debuted at a really young age on average.” It seems like you think a lot about your work as an artist.

JUNGWON: Getting to debut early was definitely a perk. Part of me regrets getting my start before I was more grown up, but it also means I have that much more experience. There isn’t one right or official path for idols—there’s a lot you can only learn as you go.

Has your attitude toward or way of thinking about being the group’s leader changed as you gain more experience?

JUNGWON: I started to rethink recently about what it means to be the leader. I used to think that being the leader meant I had to take responsibility by doing things based on my opinions. But now, if someone else has a better idea, it just makes sense to trust them in their role. I’ve recalibrated what I consider to be the “amount” I need to do.

Is there a reason you reconsidered how much you should do?

JUNGWON: The whole time I was chasing my dreams, I had my eyes on influential idols. I always wanted to have that kind of influence myself, but as I improve and my influence grows, the influence of anything I do with poor judgment grows, too. So I think of myself as someone who needs to strike a balance. The other members and the staff at the label always pitch ideas for the group, and as the leader, I think it’s important to talk it over and decide what’ll work best for us together, and to steer us back in the right direction if we’re heading down a path that’s not quite right. Those things will always be difficult—they don’t come naturally just by having more years of experience. It’s important how well we understand what we do and how much trust we build with the people we work with.

And after going through that whole process, what is your ultimate goal?

JUNGWON: I want to get to a place where ENHYPEN will have the recognition and respect of everyone out there. The goal used to be to win nice awards, but I realize now there’s more to it than that. Even if we win awards, what I really want is the recognition that such awards imply. I see myself as having many mountains left to climb, and I believe I’m on the way to achieving greater things. Honestly, that’s why I chose to be an idol. When I was an athlete, even if I put in a ton of effort, I felt like my skill only ever went up a little, but as a trainee, I loved seeing my skill level go up alongside all the training I was doing, and that’s where it all started. It’s a bit different now though. Maybe it’s because of everything I’ve learned since then, but now it doesn’t feel like I level up as much as I used to, even when I put in the same amount of time practicing. Still, investing the time to gain experience, even with the occasional hiccup, is important.

And keeping up the effort like that is never easy.

JUNGWON: I think the work really suits me. I never once thought otherwise. But you certainly have to put in a lot of effort if you want to noticeably improve and reach loftier goals.

After you debuted, you started using the saying, “It’ll work out if you just try!” Do you still think that’s true?

JUNGWON: Yes, it works out if you just try. That hasn’t changed.
