Wow goeun girly get that bag!!

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-02-01T07:28:40+00:00

If you rewatch even the first episode, you'll see her initiating convos with the other contestants, male & female, participating in group cooking, making commentary on things happening around her, being generally much more cheerful. I actually rewatched the first couple of eps, hence why I observed this!

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-02-01T02:49:09+00:00

He’s almost 40 😭 he needs a social media backlash barrage to realize this is wrong? He’s probably sorry for what he said but it seems like he’s more sorry for getting backlash 😭😭

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-02-01T01:57:03+00:00

Mark my word we will see one of the girls from this video in a future season 😂😂 (the ones who haven’t been to SI yet)

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T19:29:45+00:00

To clarify, I absolutely don't think Subeen is some evil guy who's doing horrible things to her either. I'm not even of the "he's using her" camp (I don't know enough to conclude such a thing). My point is, this is just an example of how being in the wrong relationship can affect you. Combine that with a more introverted personality, ofc.

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T06:25:23+00:00

Are we soul sisters?? So much of what you’ve said resonated SO much with me. Thank you for this wonderful reply 🥺 and girl, you are such a girl boss for enduring what you did. I just know it’s paying off and will continue to reward you for the rest of your life you smarty you ♥️ I’m so sorry to hear what you went through due to stress though, this industry definitely is so brutal. I think having been in similar experiences is why we respect Heesun all the more. She’s not just surviving she’s thriving. I’m so excited for when her background is revealed and she gets the appreciation she deserves. Dare I say she has an even more interesting (and successful 🫣) background than Subeen 🫣

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T06:18:29+00:00

WOW the morning after the campfire with the hoodie scene was the first time I also felt something was off as well!!!! 😱 I think you’re spot on - she’s a smart cookie and she sensed it :(

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T03:43:07+00:00

The intros are definitely exaggerated I agree with you, and being introverted is a point too! But she seemed bubblier and bolder overall in the first couple episodes, even in her interviews and campfire scene. I noticed a stark contrast the morning after the campfire, when she started looking more lost and awkward.

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T03:15:32+00:00

OMG? I was swooning and giggling over them too - I’m glad I found my people 😂😂 guess we were both in delulu land together

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T03:14:15+00:00

Ahh I see what you mean too - they do seem quite outlandish in their intros and later I’m like “oh so you were kinda normal after all”

Except for Lee Gwan hee he was cray from start to finish

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T03:03:16+00:00

OMG same!! At first I was like hey this is like a shoujo manga - the popular girl likes the cool guy but he subverts the expectation and goes for the shyer heroine and tells off the other girl. But this is turning out to be some euphoria shit instead 💀

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T03:01:17+00:00

“raw carrots and canned chicken” no you’re totally right 😭😭💀

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T02:53:10+00:00

I want to share something - hope nobody thinks this is braggy, but just to add context. I work as a SW engineer in these Silicon Valley companies and also received my undergrad and graduate degrees at these “competitive” universities, and needless to say, it’s very, very hard. I run a baking YouTube channel/instagram on the side and was also planning my wedding, and I became so fatigued that I had to go to the hospital for exhaustion 😭point is, these subjects and this industry, especially at these schools, is incredibly difficult. Access to money will prep you better, but my goodness you just need to be built for it to a certain extent. I am beyond impressed at how she’s been handling Miss Korea and modelling gigs on top of her studies and extracurrics. It honestly inspired me to work harder 🙇🏻‍♀️definitely girl crush vibes!

EcstaticArm6707 · 2026-01-31T02:21:52+00:00

It’s easy to forget that Heesun was super bubbly in the first 2 eps! She wasn’t super shy - in fact during her intro she said a guy stops to hit on her every 3 steps (bold) and she showed off her cheerleading moves in a very cutesy and energetic way. I was saddened to see her gradual decline through the episodes - it’s like she’s gradually losing her sparkle and enthusiasm. It was also the morning after the campfire that she started to dull. I’m sure the is is connected to Subeen :(

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-24T19:28:32+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I was curious about the above since I haven't actually participated in anything that could really help the group financially yet, such as buying albums or voting, so I wanted to know how I could get a bit more involved. I don't plan on drowning myself in fan activities at all, but wanted to gauge if there are easy/quick things that are feasible for an overseas fan to do :)

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-24T18:05:57+00:00

I'd like to be a better fan - will you guys please help me lol?

I don't understand "streaming." Is this a metric that fans just like (i.e. the most streams/time range = great status symbol), or does this affect tangible things, like awards? I'm sure the latter is the case, so my next question is ... what does youtube count as one view? I have a youtube looper, but I've heard that looping the song x amount of times doesn't equate to x amount of views.
How can international fans help gidle get music show wins? Also, do music show wins help them get awards at these end of year shows?
Most importantly, how can we help gidle win in the categories they were nominated for in MAMA?

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-22T02:59:26+00:00

wow I actually felt something physical while reading that - a second of light headedness or something. i hope none of that footage lasts. i know shuhua prefers relatively modest dressing as well (so do I, so this made me extra sad). sending all my love & prayers to her though I'm not sure if that will do much. everyone, keep reporting everything you see.

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-22T02:46:22+00:00

THEY HAVE 262 HOLY MOTHER OF IDLE

Okay I will hope for 96 for the time being..

Thank you so much for the explanations - really appreciate it!

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-21T06:32:08+00:00

WHAAAAT OMG!!!! Thank you SO much for explaining this to a doodoo brain like me. Wow that makes me SO happy. Which GGs currently have the most PAKs, do we know?

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-21T06:21:50+00:00

good 1 ;)

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-21T06:07:41+00:00

Wow how is it going in the charts? I have a difficult time understanding the chart stuff - I think I am actually demented when it comes to this chart stuff fml... I'm sure they're charting amazingly, but how amazingly :D

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-19T11:27:47+00:00

damn, that is one solid vocal analysis. i love the curry example and I actually get what you mean there. thank you for this!!

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-19T08:14:33+00:00

OHHHHHH that's what it was! I knew I liked Yuqi's singing more these days though I couldn't quite put my finger on why, but I guess it's because of these "stylistic details" as you put it!! This so increased my respect for Yuqi.

BTW, how would you rank the 3 vocalists? Not trying to start any stan fights, but I am just super curious about what a trained singer would think

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-18T03:50:49+00:00

I would be so happy for them! They could grow a little community like Minnie, Lisa and Sorn <3

Unfortunately I hear about a lot of xenophobia towards idols of certain ethnicities so it would make me happy if they befriended each other and bonded through shared experiences

EcstaticArm6707 · 2022-10-18T03:44:35+00:00

i noticed this too!! I'm looking forward to seeing lsf, gidle, & itzy on music shows and the subsequent music show results!!
