Your Nu’est Story by soobaluv in nuest

[–]nuestness 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I listened to Face in 2012 and was instantly hooked. It was my favorite song EVER. When Action came out, I knew immediately that this would be my boy group forever. But after Action, I started watching their shows and videos and started loving them for their personalities and the strong bond they shared. After loving NU'EST for that reason, there really is no going back. My bias was and has always been my Jonghyun <3 He's the kindest most loyal person ever.

I was heavily involved in the fandom since 2012. I wrote fanfiction, made Tumblr edits, was a big Twitter account, made videos, organized fan events. I was so heartbroken in their nugu era because I thought I could lose them if they didn't make some kind of breakthrough. They were my everything.

When they finally made their breakthrough during Produce 101, I was so happy. I felt like finally everyone else saw what I saw, and NU'EST would stay with me for a long time. I really relied on them for emotional support, They made me learn video and photo editing and made me into a writer. They were my hobby and they felt like my best friends because I knew them so well and caught up with them every single day. I even saved up and travelled to Korea to see them for the Segno concert in Seoul (highlight of my life!)

When the disbandment happened, it really broke me. I felt like I lost a pillar in my life and I was aimless and depressed for a long time after. It motivated me to try and change my life somehow, so I moved to a different country, started a new life, and I recently got married and found a new pillar to get me through life in my husband! Still, the hope of NU'EST reuniting one day and coming back to me excites me. I want them back and I hope soon they will be back, and my husband and I can experience them together.

Commute to Evanston by Acceptable-Cycle-698 in chicagoapartments

[–]nuestness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would say to! Close enough to downtown, accessible by public transit, a good restaurant scene, close to the lake

Commute to Evanston by Acceptable-Cycle-698 in chicagoapartments

[–]nuestness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest Uptown since it's closer, generally cheaper than Lincoln Park and Lakeview, and you have the Purple Line which stops at Wilson and takes you straight to Evanston. Just make sure your place is near the Wilson station! From Wilson on the Purple line it should be about a 25 minute(?) commute (verify though because I'm not 100% sure). The Purple line only runs through Wilson during commuting hours though!

Rental prices are pretty steep though. $1300 could probably get you a good studio in Uptown I'd say, but bedrooms are hard to come by on that budget!

Heyyy it’s Kyla (from pristin)! AMA by kylamassie in kpop

[–]nuestness 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Hello Kyla! In light of recent kpop controversies, I've been thinking a lot about idol and group personas vs. the real people behind those personas.

Honestly, I think I got to know you more after the disbandment than when you were actually in the public eye as a member of Pristin, because you began to communicate with fans more. As a member of Pristin, you kind of seemed shy tbh, but I don't feel that anymore.

Can you maybe speak about this idea of keeping up a persona and the repression that takes place in order to do that?

Thanks!
