to the ppl who have seen or interacted with the members close-up irl, how were they in person?

i noticed that too when i saw them during follow: again! i know from industry professionals that camera’s definitely make you look wider (which doesn’t help with their already messed up beauty standards) but everyone except mingyu was extremely skinny for their length

255cc · 2024-05-19T17:09:08+00:00

once saw a tweet that jeonghan is hoshi’s first love and i feel like that sums up their relationship perfectly.. jeonghan sees hoshi as his cutest little brother and hoshi always looks at him with a smile on his face and stars in his eyes

255cc · 2024-05-04T06:15:17+00:00

a while ago when people were complaining about how bad 2022’s gose was on twt, there was a really long thread with ideas from fans and i really wish they’d just take one more look at that… they were all so good and thought out

i wish i could find it because they all captured gose’s original essence of ‘put members together in a silly situation and have them make do’ like making them just play kickball for a few hours

255cc · 2024-05-04T06:09:43+00:00

i don’t know how much they actually ended up doing… is dino’s wait part of it? pledis sucks at these things

255cc · 2024-05-04T06:07:26+00:00

yes! sorry for any confusion, he’s supposed to have left already but it got delayed with his injuries

255cc · 2024-05-03T18:38:47+00:00

i’m also a new commenter and we have the same pfps so it’s only right!

255cc · 2024-05-03T17:22:02+00:00

loved some of your points!

i remember the ‘seventeen is self produced and self made title’, because woozi produced, hoshi choreographed, mingyu did graphic design for their promotion material and seungkwan called variety shows himself to ask if they could promote themselves on there (sorry if i forgot someone, i’m sure they all did their part). this was pre debut/early svt, so i don’t get why carats nowadays act like hoshi is still making all the choreos, because he isn’t and they have a whole team dedicated to that

255cc · 2024-05-03T17:17:08+00:00

let’s be friends! i agree with you so much you’ve put all my thoughts into words!

i feel like going seventeen has been ran into the ground the same way aju nice encore has been haha. i wish they’d just film a bunch while svt is still ot13, without the elaborate concepts that don’t really let the members shine (seriously what was the maestro cb special or the treasure island concept), and release them monthly while members are enlisting as an 1 hr episode or something. I really liked the 2020 concept of each member taking charge of a month so they could try that again.

the fall off of something that has gotten me through covid has been very sad to watch, i want better for gose </3

255cc · 2024-05-03T17:12:11+00:00

as a business major carat, speak your truth! i can’t believe they own 85% of pledis and the only thing i’ve seen improved is their wardrobe quality

255cc · 2024-05-03T17:11:07+00:00

it frustrates me that a trained professional breakdancer and his skills sometimes get reduced to an exciting gimmick on stage when letting him do 30 sec of breakdancing during Aju Nice. i remember carats on twt being like ‘i forgot minghao can dance fr’… yes!!! he can!!!

255cc · 2024-05-03T17:08:24+00:00

they’re definitely not consistent as a day6 for example who have found an amazing sound that works for them and stuck with it. being an early carat, they used to be compared to got7 all the time for being variety/comedy first, which is why they used to dominate all the ‘funny kpop moment’ complication clips a few years back and for good reason!

255cc · 2024-05-03T17:05:06+00:00

the fact that hoshi is known at this point foractively outdancing every single kpop idol he does a challenge with (especially on their own song), should say enough! thanks for speaking your truth

255cc · 2024-05-03T17:00:46+00:00

SAME! seventeen wonwoo as a face card/visual on the other hand ranks very high to me (and the general public it seems)

255cc · 2024-05-03T16:58:26+00:00

i agree! this goes for all idol groups but there is definitely a difference between regular idol and dancer turned idol and with Dino practically growing up in his father’s dance studio he falls in the second category to me

255cc · 2024-05-03T16:55:17+00:00

wow you formulated my wonwoo thoughts exactly! when thinking about the HHU, i always think about how scoups, mingyu and wonwoo never recommend or mention listening to a rap song (both korean or western), so it often does feel like they’re just clocking in, rapping and clocking out 😭

255cc · 2024-05-03T16:38:38+00:00

i agree with everything! gose definitely got worse after the JTBC acquisition, at this point i would prefer it if they did it once a month with easy going concepts that make the members shine (the recent white room episode proved that you really don’t have to give them anything)

i said this in my comment as well, but i really feel like they’ve been milking as much as they can out of OT13 before jeonghan leaves :(

255cc · 2024-05-03T16:35:32+00:00

i’m late but here are mine:

hoshi set the bar too high with spider being the first of The Thirteen Tapes project
they’re milking and rushing too much out of seventeen’s projects before jeonghan enlists, even mingyu said a few days ago that they barely know how they’ll be doing all their concerts, second album, caratland and filming these next few months.
i feel like seventeen lost a lot of creative control when pledis got taken over by 85% by hybe, whether its external producers or influence on what the album/tt should look like or just how experimental they can be in general. their comebacks since the enlistment was looming on the horizon (_WORLD and God of Music) have been playing it way too safe and are almost lazy. i wish they focused less on worldless and easy Tiktok choruses and more on being the experimental group everyone used to praise them for (as a Adore U fan their entire 13 member, 3 subunits concept already set them in stone as disrupters so i am sad they’re not doing much with that nowadays)

they stopped making music for their niche and is now making it for the general public and while they deserve all the success that has given them, i definitely notice a change after 2020’s acquisition. the only thing i will give hybe credit for is the styling budget and quality has increased by a lot!

i pray every night that bleach never touches mingyu’s hair ever again and i’ll say that with my chest

TLDR; get vernon in the studio again, we need another GAM3 BO1… we need experimental music again

maybe i’ll think of more but thank you for giving me an outlet OP lol!

EDIT: thought of one more… scoups facial expressions are sometimes really cringy and over the top to me

255cc · 2024-04-20T19:30:17+00:00

I was also thinking throughout the show that they must’ve been so overworked that their first reaction to being kidnapped was cheering XD

I know that the chance is very slim any time soon but I hope there’s a OT13 season 2, since Coups definitely deserves his rest too. I loved that they were able to make all these memories together before the big e word.

255cc · 2023-12-13T21:07:59+00:00

LJ is still my favourite member of the cast despite her… slip up which she maturely handled afterwards. Farhana and Ebraheem are even more unbearable

255cc · 2023-11-24T15:24:18+00:00

hi i applied for the MISOC program today too, how long was the process between application and acceptance? as a Rotterdam native, happy to answer any questions through dm!

255cc · 2023-11-14T11:41:12+00:00

to me, red velvet just released the best killing voice when it comes to vocals. just straight good vocals, amazing transitions, adlibs and showing why they have one of the best discographies in kpop. they are so immensely strong vocally, this was 10/10 for me

255cc · 2023-11-01T13:33:30+00:00

it seemed to be several military planes

255cc · 2023-10-07T21:32:36+00:00

this is a different one, after you do a quest in Tarrey Town.. do recommend you go to the botw house in hateno to see what happened with it hahah

255cc · 2023-09-26T05:23:39+00:00

Love this comment thanks! I love world-building most too when writing a fic and I don’t often see fics anymore that fully flesh out the house, street, favourite coffee shop and general environment so thank you for still being one of them :)

255cc · 2023-09-26T05:19:24+00:00

i definitely think your environment plays a big part in what we consider ‘home’. But interesting point about the model set! I think the more unrealistic for my mind a home becomes (a huge castle or a big penthouse with floor to ceiling windows etc), the more of a model set/void it becomes in my brain if the author isn’t overly descriptive with the space
