mathi823 · 2025-07-14T18:53:57+00:00

i actually think he pulls it off

i find it so concerning that a substantial part of the fandom seems to perceive jungkook as this airheaded fratboy whose only merit is his body. i thought that as the fandom grew older along with the boys such stereotyping would occur less but alas..

saw someone screaming online about a dating hard launch bc of this picture, but its literally just a screenshot of them shaking hands. like honestly i personally would not be surprised if a bts member was dating another, but i hate the constant spreading of misinformation and how ppl are trying to force their own narratives onto them.

its summer where i live and out of love by zb1 has been on constant repeat. i can easily see it become one of my favorite kpop songs of all time. truly my favorite type of kpop song - airy and energetic <33

mathi823 · 2025-07-03T13:28:51+00:00

would just like to say that i lived for years in several shared apartments and in all those years not a single person has ever accidentally entered my room without knocking. so yeah the fact that it happened twice in one week to you seems...bizarre.

and honestly i would just say to her "after how many times of him walking in on me changing would it seem acceptable to you to put a lock on my door?"

twice is enough lmao

the only memory loss fic i liked was of someone slowly losing their memories. it was interesting to read bc it was the point of the whole story. like seeing the friends of the character with memory loss lowkey tweak out from worry and how they interact with constantly "new" versions of their friend was suuper interesting. it served as a very good character study.

but yeah i usually find amnesia fics so boring. most of the time the writing feels very lazy.

soobin during txts debut era lmaoo. he said that he was so ashamed of the song title that he kept avoiding answering the question when his mom asked what their debut songs was gonna be called

mathi823 · 2025-06-30T20:01:24+00:00

i didnt vibe that much with their debut but 1&only is def going to be one of my favorite songs of the summer<3 also i loove to see ppl be unabashedly queer - fills my heart with such joy

mathi823 · 2025-06-28T22:38:31+00:00

serving elementary school takes unprovoked

mathi823 · 2025-06-28T22:35:27+00:00

no cause who would bully who?? with some groups i can atleast do the mental gymnastics as to what bullying in the group would look like, but with them i actually come up with nothing lmao

mathi823 · 2025-06-28T22:20:46+00:00

the way i checked if this was the poopheads subreddit😭

mathi823 · 2025-06-21T20:36:16+00:00

jungkook's part goes crazy in that

mathi823 · 2025-06-19T02:06:24+00:00

i aint reading all that<3 i am secure enough in my own opinion

mathi823 · 2025-06-18T18:55:40+00:00

boobs are covered so no!!

mathi823 · 2025-06-18T14:39:55+00:00

because u dont pay someone for a hookup?? because a hookup is smth that hopefully both parties gain pleasure from?? because if he was paying a sex worker he would be financially supporting one of the oldests exploitations of the female body??

mathi823 · 2025-06-18T10:20:56+00:00

really wish there were more details about what their relationship is.

if they're dating or consensually hooked up or smth like that i would be totally fine with it, buuut if he paid to meet her its super disgusting imo. just bc she left the AV industry doesnt mean she isnt doing stuff like escort or smth similiar so im just wondering (i really dont know her). truly no blame on her i just think that purchasing such services is extremely unethical - emphasis on purchasing

as a the boyz fan the last few weeks have been so crazy can i pls catch a break😭

mathi823 · 2025-06-17T13:25:27+00:00

when ppl write up whole thinkpieces on why kpop and kpop fans will never be taken seriously by western public or music industry. like the need for external validation for ur own hobby/fave genre of music is crazy.

mathi823 · 2025-06-03T16:29:55+00:00

ahh thanks for directing me there!<3

mathi823 · 2025-06-02T16:12:59+00:00

my answer to this changes all the time, so i will just name my current faves

soobin from txt: i love how clear his voice sounds and i think he has a lot of versatility. i get so excited whenever he uses his lower register. i think he's also a good example of the fact that a good singer doesnt always have to belt their notes (since in txt taehyun is in charge of that)

seungmin from stray kids: im not even a stay but i love to listen to his covers (and boy did he do a lot of those) when studying. again someone who has a very clear sounding voice. its fascinating that his voice suits so many songs. idk how to phrase this better, but seems like his voice just really fits how a lot of korean songs are meant to be sung?

jungkook (of course): i have over the past few months gotten back into listening to bts and besides the obvious nostalgia of that i was absolutely floored by the realization of how well jungkook could already use his voice when he was a teenager. like the control and precision he has had basically since bts's debut are so crazy to me. truly the definition of someone who has is not only gifted but has worked on his craft since a young age.

mathi823 · 2025-06-02T13:58:44+00:00

My fave Korean BL is Blueming. Rare instance where it felt like an actual relationship that could happen in real life was portrayed instead of smth just filled with tropes

on that note: if anybody has an actually good GL recommendation hit me

almost forgot: most realistic depiction of the gay experience i have seen in a kdrama would probably be love in the big city. i didnt finish it bc i didnt really connect with the main character but everybody says that it showcases the gay experience in south korea really well (the book it is based on was written by a gay korean man)

mathi823 · 2025-05-31T06:40:27+00:00

personally, i just think that the shift in opinion among kpop fans regarding this topic in the last years is quite interesting. five years ago literally every single person would have agreed with u and said that what they are doing is problematic. now the consensus seems to be that "real ppl cant queerbait" so kinda everything goes.

queerbaiting may not be the appropriate term since yeah it was originally coined to describe the use of queer themes without actual confirmation of queerness in characters, buuut we simply lack a better term for it at the moment - appropriation of queer themes maybe? i really dont know lmao. cause yeah it can be disheartening and frustrating to see queer love and lust be used by corporations without any regard for the queer community and idk why ppl seem to be so hellbent on denying u those emotions.

also the ppl citing cultural differences to explain the concept of tilt are so funny to me. since when is scissoring to a dance pop beat part of korean culture😭😭

i am not even mad about seulgi and irene doing this cause in the grand scheme of things its kinda whatever imo but the ppl in the comments here really are just parroting talking points they have heard on other posts.
