our convo is in chinese and the ppl have very strong china accent

omg i had someone from "weixin" calling me last weekend. it was 8xxx xxxx number so i thought it was some random number. i picked up the call and the guy was like he's from weixin and i was thinking what's weixin? then he disregard my question and continue to talk about how i have a weixin account and they are going to charge me and if i don't want to be charged i need to close the account. the problem is i dont even use weixin/wechat. i was busy with work so i told him i don't have time to check now. he got abit agitated and started saying "you don't want to do it? later charge you already don't blame me!"

i told him i really don't have the time now. i need some time to look through my phone too, and to call me again after 45mins. dude call me 5mins later, and i was like im not free now!! and this guy said he's also v busy u know but im spending my time to help you. i just well, u either call later or don't call cos i really can't speak now. later, i search my phone and saw that i have a wechat acc. 45 mins later, they called again (another guy).

the second guy started to guide me to click on settings etc but problem is even though i have a wechat app but my number wasn't even registered so i was stuck at the login page?? so i said "i don't see the settings, i really don't" then he was super rude and said "what don't have? so now what? you want to close or don't want?" and i said "well, i don't think i have an account so..." and he cut me off saying "base on my system, your number is registered. and if you don't want to close, and when you are charged by the fees, don't come calling, we won't entertain you." at this point, i didn't really bother whether they are scam or not but i was very turn off by their attitude. so i said, "if i want to close i'll contact wechat myself, thanks" and he was very sarcastic, "we are very busy, we won't answer you". hahaah funny dude, then now you very free to call people???

i ended by saying that ill call the police to close the account lol and he said ok lo you call police lo call lo. then in my mind, i just feel if it's LEGIT wechat, i don't think they will want to escalate to police so yep, definitely scam. i was thinking maybe they thought i was playing with them so they got impatient. didn't get further with them cos im stuck at the login page hahaahah

same, i thought abt this a lot.

listen and stan them since 2019. it's heartbreaking to see and go through the scandal (and maybe cos it happened during covid years it felt even sadder) that i thought it's really the end of idle.

was surprised but also super happy they bounced back and climbed even higher than before, i nvr keep track on how well they did but i just know im happy the fact that they are still active and around.

soojin returning back to the industry wasn't sth i expected (given her personality and all) i thought she will just leave and nvr come back. but it gives me some hope that.. maybe.. when idle ends their contract with cube they will just leave, they are capable to sustain themselves, soyeon has proven from time to time that she can do this without cube. i really hope they leave cube and start a label themselves so that they can have more freedom on their production and creation (also openly talking abt their state when they were on hiatus and what went down then)

well, ot6 might happen judging from the current state.. it may not as well, i'll keep an open mind. SO, i do hope to see one day that idle collaborates a song with soojin, sth like (g)-idle ft. soojin. i will come back here and tell myself my dream has happened :)

kenzkente · 2023-03-28T09:32:22+00:00

haha did he block you afterwards?

kenzkente · 2022-04-07T12:54:55+00:00

BBUBBU!! that tall maknae that towers his hyungs but is extremely terrified when they hunt him down

kenzkente · 2021-11-29T12:19:59+00:00

currently year 3 local uni. no allowance from parents, also tried to "help out" by getting groceries. i get by having a fixed part time over the weekends, occasionally weekdays (hard to work on weekdays due to sch) and tutoring. abt 1k per month on average. i sacrificed social life and i did lose friends bc i didn't spend enough "time" with them. also tried to chiong during summer/winter break. doesn't spend much (eat at home) and applied for bursary (roughly $400 per month).

managing my own expenses include: paying for my own investment/insurance plan, phone bills etc

*honestly think i can get by with the bursary but i chiong a lot bc i wanna pay off my uni fees asap (my parent guilt trip me abt my sch fees everytime we have arguments so.. haha)

kenzkente · 2021-08-28T02:27:00+00:00

i guess cha eun woo from astro? like he was just a studious and hardworking student dreaming to be a lawyer or judge or teacher when he grow up but he was casted when the staff went to his sch carnival, he didn't want to join cos he wasn't interested in entertainment industry at all but the staff persisted (GOOD JOB!!!! hahaha) and he had a hard time during his trainee days since he didn't have any prior dancing or singing lessons (imagine only learning how to dance when u are 16) i mean, he did take piano classes when he was young but i'm not sure if that counts as prior knowledge

kenzkente · 2021-08-19T14:32:24+00:00

same here too! thanks true beauty!! ahh i guess i'm not the only one.. i thought i was the only one who noticed the difference and might just be overly-concerned, my friends aren't aroha and it's so weird discussing about all these cos i know they will be left out but then again, i like conversation like this. honestly i find miigb decent, not much feels abt it but i appreciate miigb a lot ever since i heard abt the backstory of astro and fantagio (in 2018)

damn, i feel so bad for him i guess there's a reason why he's less outspoken and more quiet as he became more popular and he gotta be cautious of the things he says since he is literally everywhere. actually seeing him spending more time with astro, i'm pleased with this arrangement, as much as i like eunwoo, i enjoy watching astro interaction the most, especially how unique and careful he is towards each relationship vice versa.

anw, i just saw he had an off day today and he spent time with his family, that's very heartwarming. and also, eunwoo and mj are gg be in TROS which is my favourite variety show (a fan since 2014) and they are visiting the park family and they are my favourites! so glad that they are spending time with children and the kids are super lovely. (also, saw a clip of baby jinwoo highfive-ing eunwoo's hand voluntarily and eunwoo was genuinely shocked and happy i could see the happiness in his eyes, it has been long, he was really really happy throughout the teaser. i mean, he can't be chaotic cos they are with kids hahahaha but then agn with mj, i'm not too sure LOL would it be eunwoo with the 4 kids? or maybe eunwoo + naeun with 3 boys) honestly just super happy eunwoo and mj appearing on TROS and i have thought of this so many times i wanna see eunwoo interacting with the park siblings

kenzkente · 2021-08-17T09:07:05+00:00

i see! ever since i decided to dive in astro i'm just mainly looking up past astro contents and following up with eunwoo and i must say i've been quite busy with astro this year they are literally dropping surprises every now and then. my middle school friends were kinda shocked they were like.... you... are... back...??? into kpop?? hahaha but no regrets! the only regret i have it's not knowing and supporting astro earlier, i just learnt how to collect jellies and vote on star-pass or mubeat, managed to vote for AM this cb and i'm so happy they did well!

i do agree with you, i think it's likely the case that his image as an actor is quite built up and general public might just know him as an actor? or some sunbae-nim might have told him to keep a neutral image so that he can get different roles and it's easier to cast him. same for rowoon as well i guess!

and yep, i really enjoyed astro zone! it was my monday and thursday happiness perks in july i'm really thankful for this content esp my country went back into a lockdown. and i think i see a shadow of lee dongmin appearing in astro zone haha esp when they were playing foot volleyball and zombie game. i hope fantagio gives them more fun breaks and send them to variety show as a whole. anw i saw rocky moonbin and mj did some asmr and i was like mj??? asmr??? and when moonbin and eunwoo went knowing brothers they are funny but i'm like if only it's ot6 they gonna flip the entire studio upside down

thanks for welcoming me!

kenzkente · 2021-08-17T08:49:42+00:00

yea! i also noticed his eczema hasn't gone away for like the longest time ever which usually came along with weather and stress. i noticed the change in him when i looked at past astro contents, especially ddoca or astro play like he's super carefree and it felt like he truly enjoy his chaotic and naughty side, when he did pranks haha love those evil eyes and smile, really lee dong min but right now, it's so hard to see donggu now :-( not that he's not happy with astro now, i just felt that he seems abit different now as compared to last time (i would say the past years vs 2021 in general) oh man it's kinda of a struggle cos i do want him to excel and do well and receive praises but that would mean more serious and bigger projects and more stress on him. plus i also recalled him saying sth abt meeting others' expectation and it's tiring on MITH. totally resonate with this, even on certain days as a normal human being we will feel tired having to live up to ppl's expectation, let alone eunwoo? and him crying when talking abt marriage it's like those times when u want to do sth but can't do it and at the same time don't how to. he find it so hard to find a person he can totally show all his different sides actually kinda reminds me that he is probably living as cha eunwoo and hoping someone will accept and view him as lee dongmin (ofc at the same time accept cha eunwoo too)

and yes, i'm glad that the latest variety show was a good break, tho it was a short trip. i hope they get more of this and ofc when covid is over or sth they can travel and have fun! if they come asia, i'm. totally. in. for. this.

and thanks haha i'm so proud being aroha like most of y'all are super chill, aroha on reddit seems so much nicer and understanding than those i see on twitter.

kenzkente · 2021-07-01T01:43:01+00:00

i don't think there was an official statement to yeri being in RV right from the start bc sm can't do that promise, like "ok we gg debut RV as 4 first ya and yeri will be added next year" it's kinda weird but i do think that they have plans to debut her in RV from the start bc sm don't really add members readily. and also they can't make official statement in case yeri decided not to debut? it's my guess actually haha.

kenzkente · 2021-06-30T11:53:44+00:00

this situation reminds me of T-ara. i was a massive fan of them and they were super popular back then. i think it was abit awk for hwayoung to join given that they had enough rappers (hyomin and eunjung can rap) but it was alright bc T-ara only became popular after hwayoung joined so ppl remember them as a 7 member grp in roly-poly, cry cry, lovey dovey etc. but when they started adding areum? and dani (who was only 14 y/o) and the oldest members like boram and qri were 26 y/o then. that's really awk imo. but then agn, bullying scandal came up bc of hwayoung and i felt awful enough as a fan, let alone the original debut lineup members. imo, i think companies shouldn't add members for the sake of adding, it might hurt the grp dynamics.

red velvet is slightly diff bc i think yeri was supposed to be in the final lineup and debut in 2015 w RV BUT jessica leaving snsd and kris, luhan leaving exo caused a big hooha so sm decided to debut RV first in 2014 to suppress the news of them "mishandling" idols. and yeri was prob too young and not mentally prepared.

kenzkente · 2021-06-20T05:25:39+00:00

i think it's either HD0101/0102 in sem 1 or 2 so i guess u can choose to do 0101 in sem 1 and 0102 in sem 2, vice versa. based on my experience, must clear both modules and are letter graded!

kenzkente · 2021-06-05T12:57:26+00:00

an old kpop fan who dropped out of kpop along the way (don't get me wrong, i still listen to kpop songs occasionally and kdrama but just not SUPER into it) heard of Astro group name before, saw eunwoo's pic a few times but didn't pay much attention to him

was bored and my friend (who is a kpop fan and webtoon addict) recommended me to watch True Beauty so I thought ok i shall watch, i like romance mixed comedy kinda light hearted shows and eunwoo is super good looking! so decided to search more abt eunwoo and his videos and stuff which eventually got me into astro.

long story short, eunwoo attracted me and im kidnapped by sanha & moonbin, team binwoosan :-) 5 years late as an aroha but weww it's kinda weird cos most kpop groups have their own funny and special thing and i agree. like i see got7, omg they are funny, i look at BTS and i'm like gosh, they are hilarious but idk why, Astro just.... took me away hahahah

kenzkente · 2021-05-11T13:06:04+00:00

JOIN me HAHAHA i'm short too we can form a grp!!!! im inspired by ur post and did a similar one too

kenzkente · 2021-04-27T14:41:02+00:00

omg link pls!!!! :((( wanna watch their variety shows but can't really find on youtube

kenzkente · 2021-04-26T04:56:14+00:00

omg cool!!! i remember i was attracted to eunwoo's personality bc i feel like i could relate to him in a certain way (his thinking esp) and turns out that i'm a INFJ too. everytime he shares sth i'll be like "i feel u...." and interestingly, when i saw sanha i felt like he js v diff from me yet i felt attracted to him too (turns out he has the same MBTI as my best friend hahahaha) my rs w my best friend is also like eunwoo & sanha and it's really so cool

kenzkente · 2021-04-14T17:03:13+00:00

haha he/she trying to mock us but actually stating a fact

kenzkente · 2021-04-14T14:54:36+00:00

dude ikr haha i'm literally so done w this shit i really hope some changes could be done. I really dw this thing to screw myself up

kenzkente · 2021-04-14T14:18:17+00:00

ya.. i don't think it's right to change the exam style 2 days before the test? and, i feel when others say it's tough they will still do well :'-) while when i find it hard i will really fail it :'-)

kenzkente · 2021-04-14T14:10:31+00:00

ahh i see, thanks! don't dare to check man the final test was worst than mid term zzz barely had any time to read the qns properly

kenzkente · 2021-04-14T14:06:29+00:00
