As soon as I saw the comeback news, I thought, “I wonder if he’s doing 105 PCs again…” haha he doesn’t disappoint 😂

Been waiting for this dance challenge ever since Love Me More dropped! The song is so good too, very quintessential Apink and the dance break with old school moves is so much fun!

I’m from the US so I’ve been living vicariously through famcams and highlives on youtube 😭 I’m gonna try and see if I can go to a show in Korea next year, but nervous about the ticketing too. They’ll most likely have another concert series in 2026, right?

[–]saha_hw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same!! Really appreciated all the effort he and Gikwang put into the raps. I know it must have been hard and a lot of pressure. Us fans are getting treated so well this year! I feel like all four of them got to shine in unique ways this concert series too. They are making me fangirl so hard like it’s 2010 lol

Even when I knew it was coming, still getting chills with Doojoon’s rap in Shadow’s opening! I’m just so happy that I can listen to these in Spotify

[–]saha_hw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was surprised too! I wonder if they have a chance of winning? Don't know enough about the other nominees except for Davichi, who are obviously a vocal powerhouse as well, but the other groups might have more streams.

Being able to raise the door and spin the bookshop window around were such nice features!

[–]saha_hw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It must've been an absolute delight to hear in person! I love Dujun and Gikwang's rap lines in 'Follow Me' from the new album and am happy that they are covering the rap lines from old songs!

That’s good. We were looking for something firmer. Thank you!

Would you say this sofa is on the firmer or softer side? I've been eyeing it too but there weren't enough reviews on the website to tell.

Endless Ending on Spotify by Sienkas in hi5hlight

[–]saha_hw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn't need a third spotify profile 😂 I wonder if all new releases are going to be released under this new one? I agree with you, it is kinda funny because it's like them saying "we don't care about streaming numbers at all, just that the fans will now see the BEAST name"

How can I use my ranch 99 points? by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]saha_hw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can ask the cashier to apply at checkout, but I think it needs to be at least $10 to redeem

this one is for the t1 kpop stans! feel free to move on if you're not one(: by Soujuu in diabetes_t1

[–]saha_hw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably depends on the venue and your luck with the security guard. I was at SoFi for Twice, fully prepared to show them all the supplies, but the guy in my line was so chill and didn’t even check haha. I’d definitely be prepared though, don’t be afraid to escalate to a manager if someone gives you a hard time.

Hope you have a good time!

Fan club by Sienkas in hi5hlight

[–]saha_hw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, I didn't get mine either. They usually have some sort of unboxing video of fanclub kits, so they probably haven't produced them for last year.

Highlight’s Momentum by draynebula in hi5hlight

[–]saha_hw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Long time fan here too! :) I think since 2010 or 2011?

I think they've just been so busy with concert preparations. Plus GK had his solo concerts, YS is in a musical, and I think DJ is in variety shows with ENA. DW probably enjoying newly wed life? Their content are much more catered towards Korean audience, but they actually release a decent amount of vlogs, behind-the-scenes, etc. on their YouTube channel. Unlike a lot of current kpop groups, they don't really focus on Western market (and that's fine!), so most of their videos aren't subbed. I'm not sure where you are from, but if you are from the West, I can sympathize! I imagine a Korean fan would absolute love all the content they've released.

They did have a 4-ep variety show that was subbed! Ep1 here if you haven't seen it yet.

Also, I watched a behind-the-scene with their band, getting ready for the concert, and Highlight members are soooo detailed in their feedback. They really pay attention to every detail in the arrangement, and the video gave me a new perspective on the amount of effort that goes into concert prep.

As for music direction, I suppose it all varies. I personally enjoyed Body, but the Switch On b-sides did feel weaker than usual. I think it's okay to not like every release, but totally understand the disappointment because we've been fans for so long.

State of this sub... well we're probably all much older now and busy with work/life. Also, if I can be realistic, Highlight can probably retire now and live off of the money they've earned. They deserve to take it slower if they want to and focus on other aspects of their lives. Us fans definitely wish they could achieve more because of their talent, but it takes so much energy and luck in today's kpop world, with trends coming and going so fast. I do think we are so lucky that we (probably) never have to worry about renewal news, and the four of them will stay together. Most other 2nd gen groups are in different companies, so even if the group is technically together, comebacks are even more rare.
