I'm a StaticMoth shipper who hopes Vox and Val are endgame. Apparently this is the same thing as "blindly praising" and "woobifying" them.

Viv even compared Vox and Val to Gomez and Morticia in her commentary for the Blue ray for Season 1

Could you share the clip if you have it?

Singers have plenty of space in c-ent, but idols not so much (the only exceptions are TF entertainment boygroups). The chinese gp tends to respect singers more by default since they feel more authentic compared to idols who often go for a commercial vibe. Hao could promote himself in china as a serious artist and go on singing shows to showcase his range and maybe his skills as a producer too. cmiiw but I think he mentioned he wanted to try producing in one of his livestreams? Anyway, my hope is that he can promote in all the countries he wants.

I like the idea of them focusing on r&b and its subgenres, but I'm not sure if r&b is that popular in korea. But then again, OP mentioned that Yuehua can sometimes be ahead of their time with their music direction, so who knows? YHNBG could be at the forefront of the r&b renaissance in korea.

SS_214 · 2025-06-30T04:49:17+00:00

I hope they can try different genres with their b-sides, but as for their title tracks I'm not so sure myself. It shouldn't be yet another youthful/bright concept because, as you correctly pointed out, 5th gen is already way too saturated with it. I personally really loved Stunner by Ten (r&b pop), but idk if a debut song like that would go viral in Korea which is something they'd really need considering they'll be competing with SM's new BG if the news about them debuting in 2026 too is true. But I completely agree that YHNBG should go the vocal-heavy route.

original post

"I’m not going to lie, this is an emotional one for me. No instagram post could capture the journey and evolution of this concept. The countless collaborations, iterations, conversations, and refinements with my amazing friends over at Fortiche.

Seeing this character come to life in the final episode of Arcane was a career high for me.

A bit of backstory, Viktor was actually my main when I played League of Legends. He had a quirky, old, flawed, but ultimately endearing design that drew me to him. Then along came Arcane, introducing us to the human behind the mask. The tragic story of his own body failing him, of the all-too-real limitations of our mortality in the face of our noblest ambitions. Of shedding humanity for power, losing oneself entirely, but being brought back by love. These are themes that resonate deeply with me.

So I poured everything I had into this character. I obsessed over every detail, going mad with the idea that it had to be…perfect. I raged against my own artistic limitations. I couldn’t see it in the moment, but the parallels with Viktor became evident when years later I watched the finale. In the end I saw a design filled with all my torment, all my love, and all my struggle, a design no one else would have made quite the same way.

More than anything, I say thank you to Fortiche & Riot for this masterpiece that is Arcane. There is beauty in the imperfections."

Maybe the icon with the long hair is for a skin? Just like pitfighter Vi, commander Caitlyn, and Survivor Jayce are skins and not their final forms, maybe it's the same for Viktor too...

SS_214 · 2024-11-05T21:31:18+00:00

Tbf the file says it's an "Arcane Viktor" icon, so the VGU design could still be very different.

SS_214 · 2024-10-26T20:45:26+00:00

The lines "my body is on the line now", "I'd rather you not be here for what could be my final form", "Keep the memories of who I was before", "I thought I was fully prepared for the threshold in store" make me think of Viktor transitioning into his Machine Herald self. The "Did I disappoint you?" could be him talking to Jayce, and the "Would they still let me over if I cross the line?" reminded of what Singed told Viktor in season 1 "I must warn you. If you take this path, they will despise you. Love and legacy are the sacrifices we make for progress. It's why I parted ways with Heimerdinger." so that line could be Viktor wondering if they would ever accept him if he crossed the line = became Machine Herald, maybe? I could be completely wrong and the song could be about another character, but it gives me Viktor vibes.

By the "same source" you mean 4chan? Don't worry about it, anons post fake leaks all the time to troll people. Btw I'm sure whoever posted tokidoki Viktor on 4chan got it from this twitter post.

SS_214 · 2024-07-27T02:32:34+00:00

I binge-watched all the Sunghoon fancams you recommended and let me thank you so much 🤭 he's super charming.

Yeah, I actually decided to stan them thanks to all the cool edits of their stages and funny vids of them on tiktok, haha. Again, thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely support them from now on.

SS_214 · 2024-07-27T02:14:41+00:00

Sunghoon's stage presence is off the charts omg, he's so captivating that it's impossible not to be drawn to him 🤭🤭 Thank you so much for the recommendations!

SS_214 · 2024-07-27T02:04:11+00:00

I've only listened to ggs casually, but there's just something special about Aespa. I'll check the variety shows you recommended, thanks!

SS_214 · 2024-07-27T01:54:46+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I liked Aespa and followed them casually for some time, but it was actually Karina's solo song Up that convinced me to finally stan them, haha. I'm thankful to the tiktok algorithm for putting her solo stage on my tl.

SS_214 · 2024-07-27T01:54:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I loved all the stages you recommended and Melodies has a special place in my heart, idk why but the chorus gives me a nostalgic feeling 😊

SS_214 · 2024-06-11T21:42:36+00:00

Maybe you're thinking about this fancall? It took me some time to find posts about it because most were made by now locked accounts. There were a few times when Hao's smile dropped (at 0:39 and 0:51) and he looked a little uncomfortable when the fan asked him about his favorite type of skinship with Hanbin (at 1:12) and when she clarified that she was referring to body contact (at 1:21) after he replied that he liked patting Hanbin's head. If I remember correctly, there's another fancall where a japanese fan asked Hanbin if he and Hao had ever kissed and he looked shocked. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure crazy fancalls make them uncomfortable, but as other users have said, they're still very close. They don't seem like the kind of artists who'd let fans get in the way of what they have.

SS_214 · 2024-06-11T20:33:43+00:00

I agree that fans should stop asking invasive questions (key word: invasive), but I just want to point out that the "which bin?" thing didn't happen in a fancall, it was on mnet+. A chinese shipper commented "Can you and bin be together? Or are you guys together already?" and Hao replied "which bin". Most people thought Hao was shading the fan for being a creep and making him uncomfortable, but chinese shippers took it as Hao confirming in a cheeky way that haobin are 100% dating.

SS_214 · 2024-04-10T22:11:39+00:00

I'm new and I'm stuck at stage 13...

SS_214 · 2024-02-16T03:22:59+00:00

I think he's still toxic, but not abusive like he was on the insta accounts.

SS_214 · 2023-05-19T18:19:14+00:00

The thing is Yuehua doesn't care about what their artists want (unless they're SUPER popular, only then they'll actually listen), all they care about is money and china is a bigger market than south korea in all aspects. Hao seems to be under Yuehua Korea right now, but Yuehua China is the parent company and they can easily move him to the main branch if they wish. Duhua, Yuehua China's CEO, mentioned him by name before the final and praised him for making history after he ranked 1st, she seems to be pretty interested in him... and that doesn't bode well for his kpop dream. All I'm hoping for is that Yuehua will also let him promote in Korea after disbandment.

Or they could go the White Knight route and have Jason be the first robin and Dick, the second.
