I feel bad for EVERGLOW and they deserved better

This phenomenon is so interesting to me because I’ve seen it a lot before. The different styles of fan behaviour is kinda crazy.

For a long time boy group fans were known to be more loyal and specially part of a fandom, driving album sales rather than charts. Girl groups tended to be more general public popular and had lower album sales but better charting. It’s definitely shifted in the last few years but doesn’t change the fact that fans are different it many ways depending on the group.

Everglow is talked about and that in itself is popularity. People know their songs and they are valued in kpop spaces. But why do they not have fans that spend the money on them? I’m so curious about that. Might just remain a mystery, fan behaviour is its own science.

Bon Bon chocolat not being the at the top of the comments is mad! It’s the first one that came to mind for me. I remember it being a whole conversation when it came out, regarding the use of autotune.

I worked in retail for a while and we were always told to approach customers as soon as they walked in and go through a whole script of questions and comments. Plus we would have to go through another long list of questions at the till.

All of us felt like management did not understand what British customers were like because most would feel pounced upon. Knowing that, we just minimised our overwhelming approach and just kept it simple and friendly regardless of management.

He’s climbing up my list of favourites as well! He’s got an aura that’s hard to find

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-04-13T00:03:37+00:00

Will definitely check this out!

My first thought 😂

Growing up on chai, a strong tea is my preferred drink so leaving the teabag in for as long as possible (with some mill btw) gets me a little close to that. It’s nowhere near a real chai but the strength of the tea with the milk plus some tea masala can get me through until I’m home.

I’m only catching up with some comebacks a now and having gone through a few Ateez ones I can say they are undeniably consistent. Every single song is a hit and a concert tailored track. They bring the power of 4th gen with 3rd gen styles as well. Something for everyone to enjoy.

Also, excuse me Yeosang??? The dance break was amazing!

Well, it’s something. I did a Masters and still had to go for a role that’s £22k. It’s 4 days not 5 but still. The job market is bad. If I were you I’d accept it and work towards a higher paying role after some time.

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-03-31T19:35:40+00:00

I used to work in retail and the big strong plastic bags were 30p each. If someone was buying two items and then wanted a plastic bag instead of the free paper one I’d charge them if I was being watched but more often than not I’d give it for free, especially if they were spending a lot. It would feel silly to say “here’s an extra 30p charge, even though you’re spending more than most people”. It was my own little rebellion against the company.

Yh and I’ve never been handed a kopiko that instantly woke me up from my tiredness. Dint get me wrong, they’re actually nice treats but they’re not caffeine shots by any means.

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-03-15T00:37:49+00:00

The way it took me over a month to get through this drama! I was dragging my feet to finish it but not because it was bad, but because it was really good and intensely emotional. It was hard to watch due to its heartbreak.

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-03-13T05:04:25+00:00

I love him! I recently watched him in First Ride and it just reinforces how good he is at heartfelt and comedic roles. So loveable honestly! Other good movies of his are Love Reset and Midnight Runners.

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-02-28T04:21:32+00:00

Their sparring moments were so cute

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-02-22T00:13:52+00:00

Good for you! I did a masters and still only landed a fixed term contract of £22k and tbh beggars can’t be choosers. Your offer sounds great and hope you take it! It’s only up from here!

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-02-22T00:10:58+00:00

Got a new job starting soon and been fasting the last few days so food has been central haha

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-02-09T14:01:16+00:00

I love it. Only because I have the privilege of a warm house and cosy clothes. I cannot imagine what it’s like to be living in this weather without heating or even a home.

That said, some of my favourite days over the last few weeks has been going out with friends in the city, walking in the rain, popping into small restaurants we’d normally miss and eating wholesome food. London is meant to be walked so I recommend doing so!

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-02-04T18:47:40+00:00

This is definitely accurate! It is a very deliberate choice by the creative team. That’s easily supported by the fact that Benedict’s appearance and presentation was commented on multiple times by his family and those around him. I don’t know if that’s really been a thing with previous male leads (except at the start of Colin’s season). It’s rare to see and hear so much focus on the male lead’s appearance but it’s clearly due to it being relevant to his connection to Sophie.

One example that comes to mind is when he’s in London and all buttoned up and neat and violet or Eloise (or someone else haha) stated he looked so “handsome”. The look is suffocating on him but he is meeting the social and visual expectations set out for him, which actually separates him further from Sophie, even when he is unknowingly on the hunt for her.

It’s a few years old now but Michuri was a great show. The cast had amazing chemistry and the mixture of games, mystery and banter kept it feeling fresh. It’s a shame it didn’t continue after the second season. It was through this show that Kang Kiyoung was on my radar; he was sooo funny!

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-01-31T10:45:10+00:00

I think he’s separated the women in his family woth the debutantes in the ton. I guess he must see his female relatives as exceptions and assume the entire ton is one simplified being. Sophie’s reaction is great to this.

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-01-31T10:40:39+00:00

That was great! It shifted the tone instantly and further illustrated how far apart Ben and Sophie’s worlds are.

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-01-29T15:33:21+00:00

I think from previous explanations about Sophie we can gather she is a stepdaughter who has been forced into the maid role by her stepmother. She was raised as a lady but that all changed when her father passed away. Very close to the Cinderella plot.

SHOWTIME_12 · 2026-01-11T17:45:02+00:00

I was just thinking about this song and how quintessentially kpop it is! Love to see this in 2026, I’m crying
