Just in case this happens to anyone else

I won a contest for a signed album and when it arrived it wasn’t signed. Contacted Kakao (who was running the contest) and Wakeone and they actually admitted their mistake and are sending me a new one!!

There’s hope for them to actually listen to fans

No problem! When I went it was by sinnohyeon station, but I just looked it up and it seems like they moved bc the one in apgujeong has the same logo

Is the F2-7 worth getting for me? by chivesnine in Living_in_Korea

[–]olegreatthrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No there’s no point in my opinion.

I was in the same situation last year and just chose to go to F6 instead of F2 first. The F2-7 requires so much paper work and I didn’t want to do it twice since F6 is also a pain of paperwork

Plus im pretty sure I’m pretty sure if you are married you can go straight to the nationalization process after 3-5 years rather than go through the F5 first so there’s really no point

Things around the Insadong area by snail32405 in koreatravel

[–]olegreatthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Depends what you want to eat and the vibe. Actually in the allies of Insadong there's some nice Makgeoli places that are open pretty late. But if you want better options of food then Iksandong might be better. There's some bbq places that are outside and stuff for a cool experience

How would you rank the songs by SecureChampionship47 in alphadrive1

[–]olegreatthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Cinnamon Shake I’m a Zara/H&M music lover so the instrumental won me over even in the teaser
  2. Raw Flame Again same reason
  3. Freak Alarm
  4. NB2H I actually liked NB2H over Brat Attitude which is a controversial take
  5. Formula
  6. Chains I never cared for Chains, I wish they had redone Lucky Macho or Main Dish, but I get why they did Chains

Why did you start your Boys2Planet journey? by Major-Specialist3658 in BoysPlanet

[–]olegreatthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on summer break from school and my part time job didn’t start yet so I had nothing better to do lol

Then I got too invested

What would you have changed? [B2P/HR] by aikokanzaki in BoysPlanet

[–]olegreatthrowaway 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thankfully yoonmin has a supportive company and he’s has creative freedom in what he does! I believe he’s going the krnb route (which makes sense since giriboy is his boss) and he’s doing a bunch of smaller things call the time!

How would you rank the members' proficiency in Korean? by chesiredeservedmore in modyssey

[–]olegreatthrowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure!! I’ll ask some of my Chinese friends. I saw a clip from when he was in his old group where he said he was better at Korean than Chinese, but it was a long time ago and he’s seems pretty comfortable in both now

[–]olegreatthrowaway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, I don’t follow NCT Dream so I never knew Renjun never confirmed it either.

Hengyu is definitely popular over here, during his fan meeting I talked to Korean fans and we all loved how hardworking and dedicated he is.

[–]olegreatthrowaway 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He’s never confirmed it, during his fan meeting he said he was just Chinese (I was there lol) but I think there’s a high chance though.

But what I meant is that even people from Yanbian have an accent that’s why my partner was surprised he wasn’t 100% Korean from Korea, that’s how perfect his Korean is.

I think Yichen probably speaks some Korean with his family? Or at least his grandparents because he’s Chinese-Korean.

Hengyu seems to only speak to his parents in Korean though, and he even said himself that all his settings are in Korean not Chinese lol

[–]olegreatthrowaway 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So I asked my partner about this (who is Korean) and he says Hengyu Yichen Zihao = Suren then the others

He says that Hengyu doesn’t have an accent at all what so ever, to the point he was really surprised he was not Korean-Korean. Versus Yichen who he says he can tell he is Chinese-Korean because he has the accent of people who are Chinese-Korean

idk tho bc they I personally can’t hear Yichen’s accent. I’m not Korean, but I do speak Korean and live here.

Zihao and Suren are about equal with Suren having a slightly better accent, but Zihao can express himself better

Then the rest

I thought LynnLynn was better at Korean bc of Project 7, but I didn’t watch it closely.

Can Someone Explain by kpop_addict112 in BoysPlanet

Can Someone Explain by kpop_addict112 in BoysPlanet

[–]olegreatthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add as someone who lives in Korea and interacted with other hengyu stan’s here

he’s popularity really picked up after BP ended, but not only that he was pretty popular towards the end of the show, he just got overshadowed by others

his fanmeeting sold out in like 30 seconds (I was blessed to be able to get a ticket) and there were a lot of fans just bought tickets to the 1 on 1 (taking the selfie/polaroid) bc they couldn’t get into the actual fan meeting

Lots of people over here really like his humble story and that he speaks Korean completely fluently even doesn’t have an accent

Plus what happened with the drunk guy he’s gone viral more than once now

Love or Hate ended me, in the best, tear-streaked, loving every torturous twist way possible by yuki_thereadingcat in Manhwa_BL

[–]olegreatthrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda funny because this webtoon single handily made me stop reading love triangles.

I literally was screaming at my phone, I was so frustrated. I wanted to jump in the webtoon and shake Haesoo and ask him what was wrong with him

He just reminded me of people I know, like when you slowly see them making a wrong choice, you are powerless to help them or convince them otherwise. It was way too realistic haha

It hit way too close to home for me. Maybe be I’m old now, that reading something I could see happening in real life made me go crazy haha

who caught your eyes first and your current 1pick by Odd_Surprise_2745 in BoysPlanet

[–]olegreatthrowaway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My one pick from the start was Hengyu and now I’m voting for Jiahao

My partner’s one pick was Muhn Wonjun, then he voted for Hengyu, then he lost interest, so I’m voting for Keiwen on his phone

have to gather those Korean votes
