idol!jungwon x fem. reader | things he do when he’s dating you as an idol
genre: fluff, est. relationship | wc. 0.4k ♡ a/n: this has been sitting in my drafts for AGES. not my best work, but i still wanted to post it ^^
jungwon would be trying so hard not to look your way at any ceremonies and award shows to prevent any rumours or scandals. when he bows because your group passes by, he will be staring at his shoes and refusing to meet any of your eyes. — more under cut!
he definitely gets shy when you show up on the big screen, and he’s lowkey vibing to your songs as he watches you dance. probably melts on the spot when you smile at the audience. (he likes telling himself that it’s for him and him only.)
jungwon wouldn’t be showing it, but he probably gets so excited when you and his promotion schedules and activities clash, because what do you mean that he gets to see you for five seconds as you pass by him for your performance in music bank?
jungwon is most definitely asking the staff if he can please please please have a dance challenge with you for his/your latest comeback.
jungwon would definitely collect your photocards, probably trades and buys from your fandom under an anonymous name and makes you sign every one of them.
he also collects your albums and has them in a little drawer and flips through them when he’s bored. (he may or may not have tabs on your pages)
jungwon has a whole playlist with every single one of your group’s songs and has your parts perfectly memorised. he will not hesitate to sing along when the song comes to your part when he’s in the car or in his room.
jungwon is an avid viewer of your fan cams and he leaves comments complimenting you.
jungwon probably watches ship edits of you and him on tiktok whilst giggling and blushing. he’s down bad for your fr.
jungwon is always getting into online fights with your haters, he can be a menace if he wants to be.
jungwon constantly tiring his members out by talking about you nonstop in the dorms. y/n this and y/n that. the members have had enough.
he also gets really sad when he sees you flirting with your fans.
he would just randomly crash at your dorm or practice room without notice in the middle of the night.
I'm sorry I left this bitter ask earlier on. I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I'm just trying to work through my feelings and I really wish I could go back to enjoy a comeback. BTS really was my comfort place and I need it with everything going on my IRL. I miss them so much, I fear I'm never getting that feeling again, even when they comeback. I already have been pushed away from the fandom because I couldn't express how uncomfortable I felt with Seven and now I feel so lonely. I'm trying to just enjoy the older music, but letting go of keeping up to date and being 100% invested is hard. Really hard.
I'm happy for you that you can enjoy this comeback, but he lost me for good. "These are love songs, to comfort ARMY" and then he goes on to perform 3D Jack Harlow version. What's comforting in being compared to a dead body? Before release maybe he didn't get it, but we know he monitors fandom reaction, and there is an alternate version. He just wants to be cool and edgy but banks on ARMY blindly supporting him no matter what. I feel betrayed, not because he went explicit, I was fully expecting it, but because he's doubled faced. Comforting ARMY my @ss. Just admit you wanted the fuck boy image. He's so talented, but he just throws BTS legacy out the window. Namjoon sit next to the SK president and explained how he consulted scholars to avoid misogynist lyrics ffs. And 3D isn't the only song I have a problem with, just the worst. "It's just lyrics and images" and what are BTS songs? It just feels like a slap in the face.
I think he performed the Jack Harlow version because the alternate version is not in Golden, which he was promoting - it's the feature that opens the album. I also doubt he saw fans objecting to the lyrics, unless the Koreans fans were complaining as well, and a lot of them probably don't speak English well enough to be as bothered by the lyrics as the international fandom as a whole was. Although a lot of Armys didn't like Jack Harlow, the song still did well, and tons of people did the TikTok challenge. Jungkook probably concluded that, while Seven was better received, people still enjoyed the song. BTS may monitor what Armys say but there is ton of stuff they miss, or ignore...
Jungkook isn't doubled face. "Comforting Armys" doesn't mean lyrics like Spring Day. He brings comfort to Army by delivering cool songs, performances, and content which distract Army from their daily lives, providing them with comfort and entertainment. Also, Seven is chill and relaxing - just hearing his voice in the track is comforting. There are three ballads in Golden as well, and all songs except for SNTY and 3D are rather chill and comforting. Jungkook's voice is comforting to me regardless of the lyrics or genre. He wasn't lying when he said he wants to comfort Army. Giving back the love we give him is one of his biggest motivations. He wasn't fully sure that he wanted to release an album, but I think Army was a huge factor in him doing so.
Jungkook doesn't want to be "cool and edgy". I mean, yes, in a way, but he isn't counting on Armys blindly supporting him. He trusts we will support him because we have so far, and he's also confident in the songs he's putting out because he's making music he'd like to listen to, and expects Army to be big fans of pop - kpop is pop after all... He's not interested in lyrics or a message, so he doesn't get that fans might be. Is he supposed to live in fear? Is it not his career and his life, his choice? Armys for the most part have liked his solo career. There was only a somewhat negative response to 3D. Obviously, Seven divided a few Armys, but the reaction was generally positive. Same for Golden - even on Reddit it's mostly positive. Plus, like I said, he is much more aware of K-Armys' response to his music, and, from what I've seen, they are even more positive than international Armys.
Jungkook is not RM, and I'd say you're giving RM too much credit. BTS have performed Boy in Luv and Danger in recent years, despite acknowledging how sexist their early music was. Girl of My Dreams has some disturbing lyrics from Juice Wrld yet Suga is on it. Jimin was in a song with a rapist. Bad Decisions featured Snoop Dog who defended Bill Cosby. There are plenty of examples of BTS, including BTS, collabing with, or expressing admiration for, very problematic artists. MJ, for example, was a pedophile, yet Jungkook and Jhope in particular are big fans, as are the rest of BTS (and the world...).
I don't understand how Jungkook is throwing out BTS's legacy. He built that legacy too. Sure, the "fuck boy" image that he pushed a bit with Seven and 3D, but not really with SNTY or Golden as a whole, contrasts a little with BTS's image, but it doesn't contradict it. The sexist lyrics in 3D were not his. RM and the rest of BTS get along with Bang Si-hyuk and support New Jeans and are okay with MHJ despite both being objectively terrible people. They also support brands that are unethical (they support consumerism, aren't environmentally conscious, and the brands they endorse are corrupt and built on labor rights abuse and the inhumane treatment of workers). BTS's legacy is a mixed bag and always will be. It's build on fans mass buying albums and merch, and spending their money recklessly just so a bunch of millionaires can top the charts. Also, if we're talking about meaningless love lyrics, V didn't write his own lyrics either, and BTS didn't write the English trilogy.
I feel like you're romanticizing BTS too much, even if I understand that a big part of BTS's selling point, and what I love about them as well, is them writing their own lyrics. But that was mostly always RM, and the rap line, and BTS could only give their input on concepts that the company wanted and never had the freedom to freely pick the songs on their group albums. A lot of BTS's songs are just "lyrics" and "images". Their early music, for example, had a lot of romantic lyrics that RM wrote because Bang PD wanted them to have a softer concept that appealed to fans (eg., I Need U).
Anyway, thank you for the follow-up ask. I've been harsh about BTS, and particularly Jungkook, before too. I understand that when you're upset everything seems worse than it is, and I understand that it can be really isolating in the fandom because everyone's aggressively positive all the time. I had to unfollow tons of people after Seven because I was so disappointed in the song but kept seeing everyone praise it. On Friday I also blocked out the fandom because I couldn't relate to their reaction to Golden. I also struggle with wanting to be up to date with everything BTS do and not having enough time or even interest. This is especially worse with Jungkook (that pressure).
I could tell you that it's okay to let go of BTS, but it's a bit like giving up on a huge part of you - like losing a limb. I get it, that's what it means to be Army, it's sad sometimes too. If you feel lonely you can talk to me. If not for my anons, I'd feel really lonely in the fandom as well, which I don't even consider myself to be a real part of. I'm Army but I'm not in the fandom, if that makes sense.
It might take time, but perhaps after they've all enlisted, you, and I, will have time to reconnect with BTS without the pressure of keeping up with them. The constant releases and content fatigue me too - it can be overwhelming. When BTS reunite, it won't be the same, but hopefully we'll all come together again, even if for the last time...
Today is May 27, 2024 and i have decided to resign from my job. I had plan B's? Yes. Do i imagine what i will be in the next few months? Yes. But am i really certain of the exact things that will happen in the future? No.
Part of me loved what i do because i get to use my skills, i get paid well, i work in a "Bank" and i love the thought that i get to work with big people who have big dreams too. I remembered the lines i said during my interview that kept me going despite of how challenging the workplace was and how heavy the responsibilities were. I said "for the record, i you will hire me i will be the youngest employee.." And i said that with pride and confidence. Bottomline, I was accepted and i waited for a month to start.
It was hard the first few months especially during training, i gave it a chance because they saw my potential and maybe because i am still in the process of learning. On the other hand, this was the job that gave me a second chance in life. After everything that has happened to me in the past year, after losing it all, i was hired in Citi which helped me move into a new apartment, pay my bills, treat myself and the people i love and get to buy what i need and want. It was like a fresh start that i had a new personality and i met new people too. That workplace gave me a positive outlook that it is never bad to have big dreams.
Over the course, months and months passed and there came a time i started becoming so overwhelmed, exhausted, and everything felt like heavy rocks all piled up in my back. Apparently, it also affected my health. I was so busy that i never noticed i was slowly putting myself in a box where i was limited to the things i wanted to do. Due to time constraint i can't go out more often and the job consumed most of my energy that i felt i was stuck. Sleep has been my go-to whenever i'm off work. Deep down i wished i had more resources, flexible time and more strength to explore the world.
I was so envy that some girls get to do their passion while being paid for it so i was considering it as an inspiration. I came upon another young girls' tiktok video. A 20-year old girl like me who started up a business at a very young age producing products made for women's comfort and there she said, it was never to late to become what you want to be in life. I also came across an article about old people being asked on the street about what was their life's biggest regret or what they regret not doing while they were still young. And an old woman simply said "I regret not doing what i love and limiting myself to my capacities. I didn't know life was short and the world is round that i could have tried a different path or direction than being stuck to the same job, same lifestyle, same routine over and over that i did not notice i was getting old and it consumed my youth". Those words became my awakening and i really thought i have already started a new life and i am currently in the middle chapter, but no.
It was always fear that kept me from not trying. Of course i am afraid, i do not have back ups because i am the back up. And once i leave there is no turning back. But a Taylor Swift line pushed my buttons saying "Everything you lose, is a step you take". So i am taking this risk for the hopes of becoming what i actually want to be.
I want to be a painter, a make up artist, a bookkeeper, a freelancer that gets paid dollars hourly, i want to be a model, a star, a free diver, a traveller, a chef, or i might consider joining Miss Universe in the near future. I will make sure i get to fulfill my childhood dream and find the opportunity to study again and graduate. I gotta be the first person to graduate in this family.
I still have plenty of time, i am still 20, i can still reroute, i can still choose a path that is close to my heart. I can still explore. I had to learn it the hard way that if i save things for later, it might not be happening anymore. Later, i might lose interest. I might overgrow from it. Later, day turns into night. Life will just pass by and we'll all just eventually grow old.I don't want to have any regrets in life. I may not know what's going to happen next but i'll work hard to climb up high. This is for me and for my future self.
Becoming an investment banker Progress report November 2023 - March 2024
Written by Michael, on Mar. 12 , 2024
Image stolen from the Dolphine Project progress report - Short link
As I transition out of the military, Its time to apply more pressure to the areas of my life that will move me into investment banking. I want to document as much as possible so that I can both keep track of my changes and others can follow in my footsteps. Big updates are I'm not out of the military, I've completed a pseudo internship at Goldman Sachs, and have a new job at Accenture Federal Services paying about the same as my previous job - not accounting for taxes.
In some more important news, I am testing a new 'operating system' for myself that has more checks for productivity and progress making. It's been a challenge to get into a good rhythm that works with my wife and my own needs at the same time, but it is getting easier as time goes on.
Add to all of that a marathon of my first ever internship applications and my internship prep, and another course I signed up for and you've got yourself a BAIB Progress Report.
Enjoy.
Notable Changes
Started using Toggl again from a reminder on a Rian Doris video. I've been following Rian Doris for a while and his videos are just unreal as far as the quality and actionability of them goes.
The 10-Minute Rule That Makes Hard Work Feel Like TikTok
When I first implemented watching these videos regularly, I ended up tracking them in outlook as "Flow" R&D. I make it a point to watch a video per week and implement the lessons in my schedule.
Unable to track things properly without assigning them 'Projects"
I can use something like this but it doesn't really offer any insigts unless EVERYTHING is in a categroie. So I took about 45 minutes and put everything in a category.
I did more time driving than I can study prep
This is what typical calendar looks like when I plan it. You can see here where I tried moving things around if I didn't get a chance to get to the, I don't always do it and find it easier to just track what I'm doing in toggl and get back to work
This is what calendar integration looks like. I struggle with doing things 'on schedule' because I don't have as much control of my day as I would like to. This is actually alarming as I'm on vacation until the 25th. I should have total control of my calendar life but I use small things like my wife needing a ride to work both as a crutch not to get things done when I say I will, and as a crutch to not try to plan my day at all.
I think its shocking that as someone who prioritizes personal performance, I never bothered to track my time.
Its interesting to see this particular line graph for each project, but as far as I can tell there isn't a way to view these overlayed on each other or even on the same screen without screenshotting them manually.
The other course I signed up for is icanstudy. Its got a bunch of study methods for you to try out.

Answering the questions
Evaluating our confidence
Creating perfect answers
Checking our answers against official answers to find even more gaps
Choose a Topic: Select the topic or concept you want to learn or understand.
Teach it to a Child: Explain the topic as if you were teaching it to a child or someone with no prior knowledge of the subject. Use simple language and avoid jargon.
Identify Gaps and Simplify: As you explain the topic, pay attention to areas where your explanation is unclear or where you struggle to simplify. This helps you identify gaps in your understanding.
Review and Refine: Go back to your primary sources and learning materials to fill in the gaps and improve your understanding. Simplify your explanation further if necessary.
right now I'm focusing on marginal gains
Think about marginal gains consistently. Train yourself to view progress through this lens by default.
Whenever you make mistakes, feed them back in as reflections for your next cycle of experiments.
Avoid randomly experimenting on different changes every time.
Get feedback on your work and progress regularly.
Ensure you are getting advice from reliable, qualified sources of expertise.
Non-linear note-taking
Delayed note-taking
Grouping and categorising
So Anyway, this is the report. I'll check in next month with an improved reporting methods. See ya!
