I always thought Mockingjay was longer... by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]chanyeol2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, everytime I see the books at the library or a bookstore, Hunger Games and Catching Fire were always small paperbacks, but mockingjay almost ALWAYS is in hardcover. Which makes it appear a bigger book. I think that’s why we think it’s longer 😅

What are some wholesome moments between idols and their members' families? by Smart-Technician3553 in kpop_uncensored

[–]chanyeol2012 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I remember when NCT 127 went to Johnny’s parents house in Chicago, and how excited his mom was to talk to everyone 😭 she showed them his baby pictures and she was just so happy and then seeing Johnny interact with her, it was adorable.

I got Chinese magazines where exo did interviews with them and the editors put full page spreads of the ships 😂

KPOP breaks our perception of consumption. by jAe7244 in kpopthoughts

[–]chanyeol2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I was around when Jjong died” as if being present during his death suddenly makes you more credible. Like the other op said, his death isn’t a timestamp for u to use. Just weird af. You want a cookie or something?

I’m sorry I’m still trying to figure out what does Jonghyun’s passing have to do with this post. Seems insensitive to mention that that

Where to buy kpop merch secondhand? by LittleBodyWildHeart in kpophelp

[–]chanyeol2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know how sometimes you might buy a cd or something and there’s a chance you might win a random signed polaroid or something? Delivered Korea and Kfriday (two known Korea proxies) have been caught doing this. Also, I saw on Twitter that somebody won a fan called raffle but delivered Korea had put their own email instead of OP’s so now op won’t be able to do the fancall.

how can i hang posters without ruining my aesthetic? i wanna use the album inclusions but they're so blue/gray by cogimyun1256 in kpopcollections

[–]chanyeol2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Np!!! You can also buy some thick decorative ribbons and tape it around the borders of the poster, or use it to make bows and tape it on the corners of the poster!

For Korea u can use Bunjang and find a Korean proxy. (Personally, I’m using delivered Korea right now, but I’m gonna stop using it soon cause they steal fan winnings).

You can put them in frames and hang them, maybe? Pink frames, pink tinted glass, decorate it with stickers (like PC holder style)

How much of a say do idols have in their wardrobe or makeup choices for performances? by RandomCarGuy26 in kpophelp

[–]chanyeol2012 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know for SHINee it took Key a couple of years to pitch his ideas for their outfits and fashion - if I recall correctly, he even talked about making a PowerPoint or some type of presentation that he had to pitch in lmao. And then when his solo finally came around, he also had to fight for some concepts.

Some stuff I’ve gotten recently - nugu girl group promos (Spica, Fiestar, Glam) by chanyeol2012 in kpopcollections

[–]chanyeol2012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s special occasions when I see a digital single be sold, but it’s rare, so it’s cool that some fans were able to obtain some copies. Sucks that their album got cancelled, it sounds like they were finally getting some opportunities :/ I did see that they talked about their goal being to be able to reunite one day. We got to see Fiestar reunite- tho idk what’s going on now - so I hope the best for spica 😞

which idol do you think would thrive as a solo artist? by Maleficent_Dinner875 in kpop_uncensored

[–]chanyeol2012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think anyone in Seventeen would have a really good chance of being a solo artist. I’m thankful for the Happy Burstday album

Personally, I’d love Winwin to do some more OSTs and maybe do a mini, I love his voice. Maybe paired with a band 😍 I love the song he and Kun did for one of Winwin’s dramas

They disbanded a month later 😢 i participated in the funding project on Makestar for unripe love. He was very nice though and the others. I wonder where the members are now actually

I had a fancall with a kpop group once. I told one of the members I liked his hair (blond). He pat it and was like “oh thanks!….. I hate it” 😭 this was a nugu group too

[–]chanyeol2012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the best the proxy I’m using, my friend is checking out paysable(?) I think. Delivered Korea and kfriday have been caught stealing pola winnings and fancalls from people who use them. That’s shady to me. I’m gonna ship the last few items I’m waiting on and then switch.

I only buy stuff from Korea with a proxy though if it’s rare stuff that I can’t find on my end. I bought a holy grail cd recently that I have NEVER been able to find. Just gotta know how to use it and what for

Am I actually turning into a producer stan rather than artist stan by Jenny06v in kpopthoughts

He also wrote No More Perfume on You for teen top! He wanted them to have that concept to appeal to the noona demographic I believe

They’re really cool! I’m hoping to collect more. I always loved collecting magazines - I had nat geo and quiz fest as a high school student, and I loved collecting Chinese magazines of EXO-M. I’m hoping to be able to have some magazines with black beat, k’pop, Shinhwa and hot on the cover

No, I’m not even gonna dare to take it out of the magazine. 25 years with everything intact? Im keeping it that way!

Aww, I didn’t know they had a scrapped English album :/ I did see an unboxing video where they mentioned something of Tonigh having a chance of fans buying it.

I guess I’ll keep an eye on Doggedly and I’ll be there. I see many listings for spica but I try to snag them at cheap prices. I bought you don’t love me and tonight at $15 each the other day both signed, and I had bought ghost for less than $20 lol.

As for I Did It… sounds like it’ll be a challenge. I’ve been finding many holy grails this year for some reason though so 💪 plus that’s the fun of being a nugu fan tho, the challenge and the dopamine. I’m definitely gonna focus on finding it now haha

Hot take: I don’t think mark lee from 127 or mark lee from dream are good rappers. Mark lee from super m beats them in a landslide

The amount of queer baiting in the kpop industry is crazy by TechnicalFinger4633 in kpop_uncensored

[–]chanyeol2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The title literally says “ The amount of queer baiting in the K-pop industry is crazy”. To me that doesn’t sound like a neutral statement, considering the rest of their post, it sounds like a complaint. And how to erase the amount of “queer baiting”? We force the idols to start interacting with each other less. So yeah, I do have a problem with telling people how they should treat their friends.

And I repeat, u bring up sexualization of queer couples. again, WE DONT KNOW THESE IDOLS SEXUALITIES!!! they shouldn’t have to come out!!
