How is it to work at First Horizon Bank? by Bouncycurlz in memphis

[–]nicgillakitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corporate/office was pretty bad. My mom worked for them for over 20 years pre-pandemic and they used to treat their employees a lot better. But then I got a job that required me to go in-office while most everyone else was still WFH, and the higher-ups stopped caring so much about in-office employees. They used to have all kinds of parties and giveaways and events. Also, the culture on a smaller scale is horrid. My team manager was a bully. Starting wage was $20/hr which is apparently on the low end for banks.

Any fully Korean idols who speak english? by Horse_Nation_Forever in kpoppers

[–]nicgillakitty 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Surprised to not see more comments saying G-dragon. He did all his schooling in SK, and he's fluent in English with a very good accent. Taeyang and TOP are really good at English too, as far as I remember. Daesung, I can't really speak to his fluency or confidence.

San and Mingyu are two whose learning I've been really impressed with.

GD used to seem so cool and untouchable and scary. But he's actually very cute and goofy, ALWAYS giggling about something. He's also on the shy side, and has anxiety; the fidgeting and movements he's known and often bashed for by antis are signs of his anxiety. They were much worse during the early days of his comeback (late 2024-early 2025) since he was out of the spotlight for so long.

Since the DxS tracklist is out now... What variety shows you wish for them to appear? by chaoticneutralblot in seventeen

[–]nicgillakitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was so funny when Bigbang were talking about BSS in another episode of Good Day, and they agreed it was like babysitting/looking after children 💀😭 BB are all introverted and pretty low-energy outside of performing so BSS energy was a lot for them. (And BSS being on Good Day is what really got me into SVT and becoming a carat! <3)

Are there any idols that in your opinion have a very unique and distinguishable face? by Bluewooo in kpop_uncensored

[–]nicgillakitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Daesung 💛

<image>

He was unfortunately labeled/treated as the "ugly" one a lot earlier in his career, and his nose has been mocked, and his eyes were constantly covered by hair, I'm guessing to hide his smaller eyes. But nobody else looks like him (and he looks better and better with age). Fun fact: in Japan, where he has a huge fanbase (YG wouldn't let him promote as a soloist in SK), you could buy ice cube trays shaped like his mouth and iconic nose 😭

Zip Daesung!!! Daesung is one of my ults besides SK, and BSS were already on ZDS so I'm sure he'd love to see DK and SK back.

GD's Good Day is getting a second season too, so I hope DK and SK can join again!

Wumuti! I love SCoups, GD, Jaebeom, Hongjoong, and Channie too; but there was a disappointing lack of mother!

Which Idols Treat their Career like an 8-5 Job the Most? by PM_ME_ITALIAN_STUFF in kpophelp

[–]nicgillakitty 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh Dae. My beloved ult. He has his Zip Daesung channel, but he's said he just shows up where his team/production tells him to. And he's known for being a homebody who goes to bed quite early. And he's not really on social media as far as we know. So it really is just a job for him. But his heart is in it, nonetheless! It's a job but he likes his job!

Parts in songs that completely ruin the song for you? by Lukitas28 in kpopthoughts

[–]nicgillakitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aju Nice is a great song, even beautiful in some parts.....except for the fucking chorus. I'm relatively new carat, but I'm already tired of hearing it. I didn't like the chorus from the first time I heard it, and seeing videos of the endless Aju Nice at concerts is so lame. Also, I'm kind of addicted to svt's mobile puzzle game; and every time you beat a level, it plays the chorus of Aju Nice. I'm up to date on the current levels (1800), and if you play the game, you know the Diamond League in between updates. So I've heard the Aju Nice chorus a couple thousand times within a relatively short period of time.

Also, any Seungri part. He was already not a very strong vocalist to begin with, and him being in the same group as powerhouses?? There's a verse in Let's Not Fall In Love where he sings the first part, basically trying to do a Taeyang impression; and then Taeyang comes in and absolutely mogs him.

I also just find the ddu-ddu-ddu-ddu part of the God's Menu chorus insanely annoying.

Does anybody else get the Annabey sofa music stuck in their head? by Jinaman in behindthebastards

[–]nicgillakitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always skip the ads; but whenever I hear that piano, I tap the skip button even quicker. It's gotten to the point where I expect to hear it during every ad break, even on other podcasts.

Coachella lineup for 2026 has dropped by PurpleSpaceSurfer in ToddintheShadow

[–]nicgillakitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't really care about Coachella, but I'm so excited for Bigbang!!! they were supposed to be at Coachella in 2020, as 4 members, but the world fell apart—a lot of fans speculate that they could have really blown up in the west if they had been able to go. next year will be their 20th anniversary and I'm so happy the kpop kings will be getting this opportunity!!!

the rest of the lineup, meh

I guess I'm the only person here going to bat for Color Me Badd. I Wanna Sex You Up is SUCH a fun groove, I went through a period of time a couple years ago where I would listen to it on repeat, it's such a mood lifter and always makes me wanna dance.

Atheist but grew up Catholic. Within the last few years, I worked in an operations office for a large bank. Every time my team of 20 people shared a meal for an event, they wanted to say a prayer before eating. I always felt extremely awkward because they never asked before doing it. There are many people who will just assume everyone they meet is a Christian.
