8dm's KpopVisage feed

ᯓ★‎‎‎‎ idols and western culture a lot of us believe in the misconception that idols should only listen to kpop, which "makes sense", because that's their job. but just like somebody's indian and they shouldn't be obliged to listen to only bollywood music, idols are no different. this might be a differnt lookout for some, but when evan's ride or die came out, some engenes ik who had hee as their #1 stan were all of a sudden dissing him? as in, calling him ungrateful for his kpop career, all of that. no kpop idol's ungrateful, but we need to acknowledge that they DO want to expand on with themes true to them. true, kpop has been losing its 'k' value, but why should that mean the idols can't do so much as experiment? i'm feeling this for aespa in particular. karina, winter, not as much, they're fan favorites in korea because they "abide" by standards. giselle, ningning, not so close. just because they're "western". tbh, the only exemption is katseye, as it's not a k group firstly.

looking at the transition from green aes to blackwhite aes on my feed is so JARRINGGG i doubt ill ever feel normal again eghh

when i used to go to international school in korea, i had this one friend (who i ended up being with eventually) who was and still is, my truest, dearest friend. his name was seunggi, meaning 'inherting success' pfft. it was something he used to compare to my name. we were together for the time we were in korea, and when my dad got a job in america, his family and i were THAT close to have them move with us. so we grew up together, practically. i should say, i'm more closer to him than with my own siblings. "why can't a moment last forever" is a good cue now. he had to leave fairly soon, to singapore. we cried for three consecutive weeks. he gave me his phone number (when we were little, our parents neverr lent us a phone) because nearing his leave, he got one. he gave it on a yellow post it. out of sadness, i shredded it and stashed it in the closet. it was today that i found the scraps, still underneath the 2019 pink valentine bear, put them together, and called him in seven years.
