Heyyy it’s ur Monbebe Secret Santa 🎅🏼 Yes, it’s been a nice busy!! Mostly been hanging out with friends, but now all my social events are done and I will be in hibernation mode until the New Year 😌

Fatal Love was my first ever kpop album because it was also the first comeback I was around for! It was also on sale hahaha so I thought ‘why not.’ I agree, it’s a solid album and it’s just so sexy that they did that. I have some such a random assortment of albums, tbh! 8 of them are GOT7 related (a mix group/sub unit and solo stuff, they’re my favourite group), 2 twice albums (1 group and 1 solo), 2 seventeen albums (I love them so much too, one of the first groups I got into!!) and 3 B.I (Kim Hanbin) albums because I love his entire discography! I think this is where my collection will stop growing lmao I’m running out of space 😂

I am soooooo excited as well, I’ll also be losing my mind regardless! I hope the title track punches me in the face 🫡

What are you watching on tv these days? :) What other groups are you into?

hello again!

oh that sounds great! I've been overwhelmed busy recently, but tomorrow I'm going to spend a week with my dad and go into hibernation mode as well haha. does it snow where you live? I love when it's snowy outside and I'm bundled up inside.

that's just such a good first comeback. Love Killa blew us all away. Shownu's little body-ody-ody-ody hip move and Minhyuk looking stupid good through the entire era... it really is so sexy of them.

ooh good taste! what did you think of Jackson's new song? while 100 Reasons was, is, and always will be queen, I've really been enjoying his experiments in this new sound. and B.I... so iconic of you. "BTBT" is so good, and one of the few songs where that jammed in line that doesn't really fit the previous rhythm ("cause I don't really do this") really, really worked. his other stuff is good, too, obviously, but oof that one...

I hope the title track puts me in a coma, but also the Changkyun and Wooki produced song?!?! I am LOOKING.

I'm so boring,most of the television I watch is stuff I can watch with half my brain and not get distracted since I watch it at work while I'm doing the tedious stuff OTL so it's not good. but I'm slowly working through "Reboot" and the most recent season of "What We Do In The Shadows" at the gym. how about you? what good stuff would you recommend?

other groups? it's me and Shim Changmin in a constant standoff. I love his music but he can meet me in the Hague. other than that, I'm still such a boy band lesbian. Seventeen, TXT, Forestella (ignore "Utopia") WayV, and Woodz are some of my not Changmin faves.

and if I'm in an Ateez-but-not Discord where we had to put them in containment (a secondary channel) so as not to spam, and also so my bestie/nemesis and I can have one conversation excited about something they're doing while at the same time having another conversation dunking on each other for liking Ateez... then what of it...

I don’t know why, but recently I’ve been thinking a lot about toxic fame, how it destroys a person for the sake of an image, etc. Maybe it’s because two creators I like quit in 2021, at least in part because being in the public eye was destroying their mental health. Maybe it’s because one of my favourite actors, who always struggled with fame and the nature of celebrity, died two months ago. Maybe it’s because one of the actors in my current fandom is probably the current ‘fame ruined my life’ poster boy. 

(This is a lot of preamble for a song review. Anyway)

I’ve said before that my favourite ‘genre’ of song is when the artist is essentially has a mental breakdown during it. I can’t exactly pinpoint why-- they’re great songs to have breakdowns to, but that’s not their only appeal. It’s a special kind of catharsis, sort of like the climax in a musical. 

It’s also very hard to do. Celebrities-- especially the more famous they are-- love to make art about how hard it is to be a celebrity. But 9 times out of 10 they suck at it. I think the reason why is that often they come at it from an angle of being ‘above’ it. They’re going out of their way to show how nothing hurts them, their life is perfect, and they think about ‘haters’ so little that they write entire albums on it (hi Taylor). It’s hollow posturing, and annoying from both angles: it simultaneously works to make them look up themselves and insecure at the same time. When they do try to evoke sympathy, often it’s (accidentally or not) couched in a humble brag that inadvertently reveals just how privileged they are. No matter how real the emotions behind it, how justified they are in their position, trying to write about how much people should pity you for being wealthy and famous etc etc tends to just put people off more. 

It’s why I loved ‘Thank U’ so much last year. It’s not a song that’s trying to prove something. It’s not even trying to evoke sympathy from the audience. You have to know a lot about Yunho to feel the full impact of most of the lyrics, and when you don’t (even when you do), you can fully appreciate the Michael Carleone-esque character he’s created for it. (Honestly, that song couldn’t not have the mv it did. Of course this is the theme song of a gangster looking for revenge. What else could it be?). But even at it’s most cool, it’s arguable arrogance, it’s entire theme is that to be the best you have to sacrifice everything else. Your trust in others, your trust in yourself, your attachments, and people will stab you in the back the first chance they get. It’s a good song no matter what, but it gets a lot more kick out of being by a man who was on the wrong end of a smear campaign by members of the group he led. It certainly gets more when you remember that Jung Yunho has more right to sing about haters than most celebrities (no, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the mv started with an attempted murder. It’s kind of hard to avoid thinking about). 

‘Maniac’ is giving me a lot of the same. The english translation of the lyrics isn’t out yet, but the mv once again has a lot of symbolism you can’t help thinking about. The music video is a very brightly coloured horror movie about an entertainer who goes insane. Who types ‘help me’ over and over. Who has a mirror that lets him fantasise about being the Time person of the year but only gets the magazine cover when he jumps to his death (after being chased while backstage, might I add). Changmin never hid his dislike for being famous when he was young-- and this was before he talked about being so paranoid he couldn’t go outside without covering most of his face. It’s not a hard leap; he’s even being stalked in the mv. But like I said, I enjoy nothing better than art about how being famous drives you mad.

I think it’s interesting that Yunho and Changmin are both releasing stuff like this now. They’ve been doing this for 18 years, and the height of their fame has passed, but that’s always the best time to actually reflect on it. Both of these mvs are very avant garde, the type of stuff they’ve always been interested in but never fully committed to before. And the music is not standard k-pop-- Thank U was more of a mix between latin r&b and a brag rap, and I’ve already seen someone call Maniac something that sounds more like classic Queen than any of the modern k-pop trends. 

I don’t know if this is going to happen, especially before we’ve seen ‘Devil’, but my hope is that with the comeback announcement we’re going to see a new phase of their career. Both of their solos show a desire to experiment, and a willingness to release music that’s a lot more personal than they have before. Maybe the 2022 comeback will just be a standard pop track, but I so desperately hope that we will get to see a TVXQ that shows this same creativity and attention their solos have been getting.
