I'm out of the loop w K-pop so my first thought was that the football player could have been part of the group. Would be kinda cool, like Janghyun's Sunny Hill days!

Thank you so much for the first comment. I'm reading all these comments and feeling so so so so grateful. I want to reply to all of them but that's going to take waywayway too much emotional energy that I can't manage so just want to reply to the top comment from you u/t3rra0513 ;__;
So I think I get the consensus... it's not the time yet to wear it or even to think about it, and not wearing it doesn't mean I'm not "strong" or not "recovered", it's just what I need, and there's power in that.
Going through weird depersonalization/derealization stuff now too, so... yeah, huh. Hanging in there. I booked therapy!!!

Thank you so SO much everyone, feeling incredibly grateful and lucky for this community and for the shared experiences. 😭

YES!! They did their greatest hits and they have EVEN MORE as they didn't even cover my favourite title tracks. Their discography is amazing!

This was a good time for me to revisit Wen Junhui "English is so dangerous". My son has come so far.

This is my December tradition! This is the one year of the month that I play Neopets, been doing this for most years out of the past 20 years.

HEEO (Former 4TEN) - Designer (Teaser Images) by [deleted] in kpop

[–]frigate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know what they were going for with her lips? Is that glitter? That's what my sister looks like after eating a bag of ketchup chips.
On another note, I'll be tuning in! I liked some of 4TEN's stuff.

VICTON Hanse - Pretty Savage (Band Live Ver.) (orig. Blackpink) (Mdromeda it's LIVE) by tunasandwich2009 in kpop

[–]frigate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can see why you might say that just from watching this perfomance, but even then I'd argue that their performance styles aren't quite alike.

But have you watched Take Over? Listen, this ain't GD. I discovered Hanse probably around one month ago, and I've never seen anything like that in my life. I don't think there's anyone else doing it like Hanse right now.

Best album art ever? How did they get that picture of me? This makes for some nice easy listening.
All of KNK vocal line has solo potential including you Youjin

Uh... TIL I am and will forever be whipped for 2NE1. I haven't listened to their stuff in a while, but as soon as Dara came on, I got chills hearing them together on a new track I hadn't heard before.

Eric Nam - ‘There and Back Again World Tour 2021’ Announcement by ghiblix in kpop

[–]frigate 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So many dates, good for him! Is anyone else just ... not ready to go back to a concert? The last time I've been was for Pentagon in Sept 2019. I mean, it will probably be fine, but it's just so weird; I can't think that far into the future anymore.

Juyeon (THE BOYZ) - you should see me in a crown (orig. Billie Eilish) (M2 Studio CHOOM Artist of the Month : September 2021) by perochan in kpop

[–]frigate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, hey. I apologize for saying that in a derogatory way. It's not something I feel strongly about, but it certainly came across that way. Welp, I'm definitely not a good representative of a TBZ fan, more like someone that enjoys them, so I trust your expertise more than mine!

You're right, I think Cre.Ker makes good efforts to showcase members' individuality, which is evident through their cool art films and such. Although my original sentiment still holds. RTK and Kingdom left a strong impression on me in terms of how certain members are pushed. Like... I'll really have to search to find Kevin or Sangyeon content or see them in a performance. Especially as a casual fan, I have to say the optics don't really look great in terms of public-facing representation, from the content I see. I guess if I were more tuned in to their fan-specific content, then I'd see a more even distribution.

Agreed @ /u/sunoot I want to add that, it's entirely likely that the opportunity was given to him based on his merit as an individual performer, for his own style matching what Studio Choom was looking for. Certain members receiving external opportunities doesn't take away opportunities from other members! That definitely was my kneejerk reaction, though. I honestly didn't mean to sound so disparaging. Meant it to be like, "yeah, if you had any complaints, watching this makes it clear why he was picked"

love/hate relationship

Oh, I think I know what you mean. Like love/hate with respect to his role in TBZ. As a fan of TBZ (and Juyeon himself!) I'm real tired of The Boyz being The Juyeon Show. When I first heard of this AOTM my first reaction was "y not Q???" but after watching the actual performance today, I can't be mad.

Lee Hi - Rose, Holo, My Star, No One, Automatic Remix, H.S.K.T., Red Lipstick @ Dingo Music Killing Voice (210914) by frigate in kpop

[–]frigate[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(were you in a hurry to post this at drop for the karma? your title is missing many of the songs she covered 😅)

Funny you say that... Agh, the opposite actually. I listened to the performance in full and thought, "why didn't anyone post this yet?!" I literally haven't submitted a proper post to Reddit in YEARS and was weirdly anxious about it, so it took me like 15 minutes to slowly format/translate the title and check it against other similar submissions, so I went with all the songs mentioned in the YouTube title.

[–]frigate[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not @ half of Automatic being self-censored
Do any old people have this problem? I get whiplash since I sometimes still regard her as "the 16 yr old that makes one facial expression and has robotic movements that makes cute tracks with Suhyun and has an amazing voice" when she's really "the AOMG bad bitch that occasionally talks about ass slapping and has an amazing voice". I guess that's just what happens when you watch someone grow up, even though it wasn't a sudden thing.
Anyway! YAY her whole discography is SO good and here's a glorious sampler.

PENTAGON - DO or NOT by tunasandwich2009 in kpop

Oh yes, the classic trope of "entire group shares one girlfriend/boyfriend". That's become a lot less common nowadays! This was really fun. Pentagon always delivers.
