Hi,
Can you please share your opinion about Ateez??
***
I've talked about Ateez on my main blog before (the most recent time is linked here), when I said they are one of the three boy groups most closely following BTS's playbook (in areas such as performance style). The other groups being Stray Kids and RIIZE. I pointed out how the boy groups most closely copying BTS's strategic decisions aren't HYBE boy groups, and that makes the diversity in groups so much more compelling. Anyway, back to your ask.
ATEEZ is the only group in k-pop that does 'noise music' well. Those boys actually know what they're doing. I've liked Ateez since seeing their early covers:
youtube
*
Those boys are passionate, there's a good chunk of their music that actually slaps, and they are easily some of the strongest performers in their generation. They know how to put on a show. I'm happy to see them get more acclaim and popularity these days.
That said, Hongjoong and the guaranteed 'one banger drop' with every release, are the only reasons I generally keep up with Ateez. Their music is very much hit or miss for me (though more hits than misses), and it sometimes frustrates me that songs I would've otherwise loved are ruined by rap/vocal styles and tones I can barely tolerate. Eden knows what he's doing, and he's one of the only k-pop producers whose take on 'noise music' I can stand. Though only in limited doses.
Someone pointed out earlier that I seem to bias leaders in boy groups given the trend of Namjoon, Jungwon, Soobin, Hoshi, Jaehyun, Taeyong, Bang Chan, and now Hongjoong. But with Hongjoong I feel I had little choice in the matter seeing as you can just tell that rascal is a genius who adores Zico.
Not to ramble - I think Ateez is a solid group. Their concept is clear and relevant, their music is distinct and cohesive, all members have a presence that's felt at some point in their albums, and while I prefer other groups in terms of performances, Ateez is one of the best. In my opinion.

VOGUE MAN Hong Kong : Yong Jun Hyung Interview/English Translation ( may contain inaccuracies)
Yong Junhyung, known as "Singer-Poet PD Dragon", is a second-generation Korean boy band idol. He established his own music company BLACK MADE more than two years ago, started anew as an independent singer-songwriter, and once again released his personal mini-album "LONER". The unique personal music charm is fully unleashed and infects many music fans. No wonder he is called a genius by fans - Dragon PD. At the beginning of this month, he held the Hong Kong stop of his Asian tour meeting under the name "LONER's ROOM". VOGUE Man Hong Kong took this opportunity to conduct an in-depth interview with this talented musician Yong Jun Hyung.
The second-generation boy groups indeed held up half of the Korean wave back then. Among them, the most popular among them was none other than TVXQ, Super Junior, and Bigbang. The first catchy songs such as "Shock", "Fiction", and "12:30" not only established a unique music style for the team, but also swept the top of the major music charts. Later, when all the members failed to renew their contracts, they boldly set up their own business and changed the group's name to debut again. With the joyful and joyful music style of "Can Be Better" and "Plz Don’t Be Sad", they once again achieved unprecedented success and were named the "strongest new artist" at the time! The wonderful works lead the two groups to the flower road, and everything depends on the man behind the music who silently studies music and constantly innovates - Yong Jun Hyung . Dragon PD, who has left the group, has now returned to the Korean music scene as an independent singer-songwriter. Recently, he came to Hong Kong to sing again after a long absence of 5 years. As the fourth stop of his Asian tour, he also conducted an exclusive interview with VOGUE MAN Hong Kong. , in addition to sharing his impressions of Hong Kong, he also talked about music and fashion, and talked about his music journey from idol, producer to solo singer.
“ I hope to create more music that resonates with everyone, and aim to achieve this
It has been 13 years since Yong Junhyung debuted, and he has always been one of the top songwriters in the Korean music scene. His works registered with the Korean Music Copyright Association are second only to RM @ BTS, G-dragon and Zico. His creative ability is widely known. Not only did he have complete control over all the album tracks of the former idol boy band, but also many of the solo ballads of the members were written by him. Passionate about music, he has even composed the first divine song tailor-made for singers HyunA, Baek Jiyoung, Lyn and others. Therefore, he is known as the "Dragon PD" among music fans, and his ability should not be underestimated. He believes that music is an indispensable element in life for most people, and he expressed his hope that his music can bring comfort to music fans and create various outlets for sharing emotions through different types of themes.
Music is still a life course, but it is still the dream I pursue
When asked about his thoughts on pursuing his dream of music, Yong Junhyung, who is half a senior, is still quite humble and replied with a disdainful expression: "Although I have been working hard for a while, music is still the most important thing to me. It’s a subject that requires continued hard work.” More than two years ago, Yong Junhyung established his own music company BLACK MADE and became active again as a solo singer-songwriter. Earlier, he released his personal mini-album "LONER" again after a long time. The six consecutive singles focus more on melody performance, hoping to bring a different feeling to the music fans. At the same time, he launched the Asia tour meeting with the name "LONER’s ROOM". Although there were ten storms the day before the meeting, fortunately, the weather was good on the day of the performance and the Hong Kong leg was successfully completed last Sunday. Dragon PD even composed the English single "LOVE SONG" for the first time for this overseas performance. Not only did he prepare a lot of heart-warming interactive sessions, but he also played and sang on stage with his guitarist to give back to the people who have always supported him. The fans.
If you also have a music dream, you might as well take the challenge
"When I came to Hong Kong this time, the hotel I stayed in, the performing groups, and the music fans seemed to be the same as five years ago. Everything seemed to have not changed much. At first glance, everything gave me mixed feelings. It was very profound." Although he has been away from the stage for a while, Yong Junhyung is still very grateful for every performance opportunity, because as an independent musician nowadays, it is really not easy to hold large-scale concerts, so he expressed that he cherishes every moment of building common memories with music fans. seconds. Looking back on Yong Junhyung’s solo works, in fact, as early as 2017, when he was still a member of the idol group, he had already released three solo albums
“Flower,” “Wonder If,” and “Goodbye 20’s.” It is a slightly gloomy mixture of HipHop and R&B. It is not difficult to feel in the melody that Yong Junhyung is actually a person with a strong sense of story. The song arrangement also contains rich personal colors, such as his sighing and beautiful chords matching the lyrics. Every piece of music can make music fans listen to the music and listen to Yong Junhyung’s inner thoughts. At the end of the interview, he concluded: "If you also have a music dream, you might as well take the challenge, because this industry is very charming, and I am working hard to make achievements in it." It means that although the road to music creation is difficult, OK, there will definitely be inner struggles along the way, but if you just try your best and do your best, you will always be appreciated by others.
THE INTERVIEW
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: It's been a long time since I've seen Yong PD on screen or in overseas performances. Would you like to share with me the current situation and the upcoming trends for this year?
Jun Hyung: Recently, I have been actively meeting overseas fans, so I often fly. I am very excited to come to Hong Kong today to meet my long-lost fans! At the same time, I am also very happy to be here to greet the readers of "VOGUE Man" Hong Kong. I will do my best to perform and hope to have a wonderful moment with every audience member.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: I know that Yong PD has actually been very diversified in the development of his music career. He is a composer, lyricist, producer, rapper, and singer-songwriter. He also debuted as an idol. Last year, he founded a new brand. Company BLACK MADE... With so many roles, which one do you prefer? Why?
Jun Hyung: Actually, I have been involved in music creation since the very beginning, so my favorite role is definitely that of a singer-songwriter. This role gives me the opportunity to create music with my hands and communicate my feelings and ideas directly to the audience. In the future, I will continue to delve deeper into this role and produce more works. I hope that through my music, I can inspire everyone's ideas in life and become an inspiring singer.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: On August 1, Yong PD suddenly released a new English single "Love Song". Can you share with readers the story behind the creation and the interesting experience of writing lyrics in English?
Jun Hyung: Recently, I have been meeting fans from all over the world. Even before I planned to release this song, I had been thinking about how I could get closer to my fans. Therefore, despite my busy schedule, I moved forward the original plan and released this "Love Song". The entire production and recording process of this song was done in English, which is very different from my past works, which were mainly Korean or only mixed with some English. During the recording, I specially invited a professional English singing teacher to guide the pronunciation and pronounce words. I spent more time than usual and put in a lot of hard work to strengthen the practice to ensure that the fans could understand and feel comfortable.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: Yong PD is actually known as the "lovelorn singer"/"the prince of OST sad heart songs" among music fans. From his first solo album to the latest "LONER", it is also full of lovelorn songs. , also caused many netizens to joke: "How many times will our Yong PD have to fall out of love?!" How do you feel about this situation?
Jun Hyung: Of course, I have also experienced the pain of separation and love breakup. The reason why I chose love and lost love as the theme of the song is because I think these are the emotions that everyone can relate to the most. I find that when I create music with this kind of subject matter, I can express my worldview more fluidly and naturally. My purpose in creating this type of music is also to bring some comfort to everyone, to resonate with everyone through my music, and to share common feelings and experiences. While these themes may be universal, it's my responsibility as a music creator to try to portray these emotions in interesting and innovative ways, adding my own stories and narratives.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: Do you have anything to say to young people who are chasing their (music) dreams?
Jun Hyung: Although I have been working hard in the music field for a long time, for me, music is still a process of continuous learning and overcoming challenges. I have encountered numerous difficulties and at times felt frustrated. However, I want to tell all young people who have music dreams - if you have a dream, pursue it and challenge it. The music industry has an irresistible allure, and when you put your heart and soul into it and persevere, you will see wonderful results. I have been working hard on this road, so I believe you can do it too.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: What do you think is different between today's look and your usual look?
Jun Hyung: I usually dress casually and comfortably, but because I had the opportunity to meet a VOGUE MAN reader today, I wanted to dress up a bit more handsomely, so I chose this outfit. For the photo shoot, I will wear another interesting look, which can highlight my two styles. But in private, I prefer comfortable clothes, especially now that the weather is so hot. But even when I go casual, I try to find a few special touches that make my look comfortable and personal.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: What's your favorite look and item today?
Jun Hyung: Although I like the suit I'm wearing now, if I had to choose, I would still prefer the first look of the day - the pair of work pants paired with a colorful top. This casual style is more in line with my daily dressing style, and I feel very comfortable and fashionable.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: Dragon PD This time you are coming to Hong Kong after a long absence of 5 years. How do you feel about it?
Jun Hyung: To be honest, I can’t remember how long it was last time I came to Hong Kong. But when I set foot on this land again, the memories of my previous time in Hong Kong came back to me. This feeling was wonderful and profound. My current mood can be said to be filled with mixed emotions, a mixture of anticipation and excitement. I believe that when I meet fans at the performance venue, those feelings will be transformed into new and beautiful memories.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: In your own memory and feelings, what kind of place is Hong Kong?
Jun Hyung: My feeling about Hong Kong has not changed much. The hotel I stayed in the last time I was in Hong Kong was the one I'm staying in now, which I find amazing. Hong Kong is a very close place to me. Every time I visit, the fans are very enthusiastic towards me and make me feel very warm.
"Vogue Man" Hong Kong: What is your impression of Hong Kong music (or Cantonese songs)?
Jun Hyung: My understanding of Hong Kong music mainly comes from Hong Kong movies. I recently stumbled upon the restored version of "Chungking Express" and I absolutely loved the soundtrack and scenes in the movie. Especially the soundtrack of the movie "Dream Man", I personally like it very much. It also gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of Hong Kong music.

Tagged by @tum-tigger in the '9 people you'd like to get to know better' game - thanks bestie! 8'D
1. Top 3 ships: So. This is hard to answer atm. Bc the only food my brainworms want lately is Cheongsan/Gwinam AoUAD, and absolutely nothing else. Also in the rankings recently: Batarou OPM and SouAi Free!, strangely enough. Could list endless honorable mentions like HisoIllu and Nashuu HxH, Josuyasu and BruAbba JJBA, Kuwameshi YYH, etc. etc., but my brain is hard to grab these days
2. First ship: I've often mistakenly answered BruAbba JJBA for this, bc they're the first ship that dragged me around by the hair and they single-handedly got me back into writing - BUT my first ever ship was actually LietPol Hetalia.
3. Last song: Nocturnal animals by ZICO feat. Zior Park.......genuinely cannot get over how well their voices go together...........need to lie on the floor about it....
4. Last movie: It was an Alvin and the Chipmunks Halloween special. Super scary stuff. Y'know.
5. Currently reading: Picked up the Alice in Borderland manga the other day, got one chapter deep, so far. :') ...Tbh I've got an entire stack of books waiting that I bought recently bc I'm trying to get back into reading, but I'm not in the middle of anything atm, shamefully enough
6. Currently watching: Miraculous Brothers and also Happy Ending Romance. A more serious drama and a shorter, lighter one, to balance out, 8'D. And bc I often run out of time after work/before bed for hour-long eps. Miraculous Brothers is like...shockingly good so far, a real fun ride, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I am. Only about halfway through, so we'll see what happens. Happy Ending Romance, tho. I'm having fun. But also. Leo VIXX plays the role of unsavory, possessive ex, so every time he's onscreen my brain shuts down and goes "Wow. Pretty." on a loop, and then every time he spouts some toxic bullshit to the sad-eyed protag, I am like why is such a soothing melodic voice saying such harsh things....who cast him for this......genius stuff..... I am also sloooowly rewatching AoUAD. Ofc.
7. Currently consuming: WATER!!!!
8. Currently craving: Some motivation/inspiration/energy/time to write. Emotional stability and Flamin' Hot Funyuns also.
Gonna tag @fandork, @anticiajk, and @eq-kou, if any of you want! (No pressure ofc,,,)

Rap Monster’s ‘Real’ Story
When I think of Rapmon, the first thing I think of is when other people would say ‘he’s a genius!’ during your trainee days. Since everyone said that, I just assumed it was so, but on the other hand, I had thoughts of resistance like ‘What? Just what is so amazing?’. 
What do you mean genius… The fact that people look at me like that is like.. It’s probably because I give off the feeling of a philosopher in a small room. I have a lot of thoughts for my age. How the world is, what kind of person I am, what kind of relationship I have with the world… Because I wanted to know things like this, I read Nietzsche, and looked up and read things like Carnegie psychology… Since a young child is having thoughts like that, and it gets expressed through music… that’s why they think I’m a genius.  
Since you’re a 21-year old investigating the existential root and relationship of the world and one’s self-conscience, it seems a bit new. There are many things in the world to be enjoyed simply, and the more simple it is, there’s the aspect of life being easier and more fun, so just why do you have such complicated thoughts? 
It’s kind of like a Middle School 2nd Year syndrome (laughter). But the 2nd year syndrome isn’t only a bad thing. I started writing poetry since my 2nd year of elementary school. Since then, I think I was obsessed with despair and loneliness, and the relationship between my self-conscience and the world. Among the poems I wrote then, there was a poem where I compared myself with a fallen leaf, but I feel enjoyment out of dividing myself and the world, looking into that, and thinking about it. A feeling that feels like I’m living, it feels like I’m doing something. Ah! There are times where I feel like a genius. Times when I think ‘Oh, how did I write this?’. Even after I write it, there are times I get assurance in it being ‘wow!’ quality, and when I show that to people, I sometimes get the same feedback. Although it can be viewed as narcissism, ‘it seems like I have the ability to catch what really touches people’, is the thought I get. But times like that are very short, and most of the time, it’s a repetition of frustration and pain.
Please explain further on your times of failure and pain. People like listening to others’ times of frustration and pain, especially one of a genius (laughter).
Frustration was like, something that came to me hundreds of times a day. I’m currently working on the next Bangtan album, but I worked on my mixtape for awhile. However, the styles between those two are completely different. So I would get stuck at each word and each lyric, then become frustration… For a short story as an example, I only had to make a few words from last night at 9 to this morning, but I just kept doing other things till 2:30 AM. I went online to a community and looked at posts, looked at useless comics, and saw the news… And while doing that, I turned my computer back on at 7 AM and started making it. Once I write it like that and get the thought of, ‘Huh? I like this. I have confidence in this’, then I feel very happy and enjoyable, but that kind of moment doesn’t come easily. That’s why it’s hard. I think like, ‘ah, I know how to do this much, but I can’t even do this’… I wonder if this is the ‘pain of creation’ that people talk about. However, I have to win through it. I need to win through it.
Why are you releasing a mixtape? When I see the path that BTS has walked on during the last few years, I feel like you guys have been fighting the prejudiced thought that ‘Idols are doing hip-hop? Do you guys know hip-hop?’, but is that part of it?
That also is a part of it. When I see GD or Zico hyungnim, they’re very good at doing music, but there are people that still don’t acknowledge them for the sole reason that they are idols. First off, I’m releasing a mixtape because I have confidence, but if there are those who won’t acknowledge that it’s hip-hop even when I’m doing all this, then there’s nothing more I can do… I have a thought like that. 
It sounds a bit like a solemn determination. 
Yes, I’m solemnly determined. My heart’s determined, the songs on my mixtape are determined… (laughter). I personally want to establish myself using this. It would be me personally making a starting point. It’s like a kind of thesis on what kind of person I am that I personally organized. In one word, it’s like I finished the first unit.
Is working on Bangtan’s album much different from Rapmon’s personal music?
It’s different. The music that Bangtan aims for is ‘youth’. Bangtan’s music is where we concentrate on the thoughts and worries that people in their late 10′s and early 20′s would have and speak for them. However, my music is just myself. My music is something that just shows the inner darkness, worries, greed, hideosity, etc that I have. Everything of myself that’s inside of me.. Erm.. It’s very two-faced, lonely, being lonely, wanting to be lonely, and hurting because of being lonely, but that I don’t dislike loneliness just because of that… It has my inner self of wandering around. Also… I think that any person is two-faced, where they can be a devil and an angel… And I think that the person who has both sides to the extreme is me. I don’t want to try and hide that, and wish to show it very well to people through music.
You recently released a collaboration song with Warren G… But I had the thought that thoe who are more interested in Rapmon than in Bangtan would really enjoy that song. How was it like working with Warren G?
There are two things that Warren G told me that I will never be able to forget. The first is, hip-hop is open to any one. Despite what your race is or where you’re from, hip-hop is a type of music that is always ready to give you space for anyone who enjoys hip-hop. So, don’t restrain yourself behind any type of prejudiced thought, and the other one was you’re doing well, so no matter what others say, believe in yourself and do what you want. Although it’s something that anyone says, I think it touched me even more because he was the one to say it to me. He has a habit of saying, “It’s so good.” But I think that it became a sort of spell. Someting like Hakuna Matata. ‘It’s so good’, when I think of that phrase lately, my hearts becomes at rest a bit more.
I heard that you fell for hip-hop at the age of 14 and basically lived at a Hongdae hip-hop performance arena, which led you to where you are at today. 
That’s right. During the days where I went to see performances in Hongdae, Supreme Team was really popular. It was before coming out to the world… At that time, it wasn’t like now where illionaire took over everything, but Jiggy Fellaz, Big Deal, Soul Company, Verbal Jint… various musicians all had their own styles like the Black Turtle, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and everyone looked like they were fighting each other, so they were all so cool. Before this, Epik High really gave me a lot of influence. In Korea, Epik High and Garion, in overseas, Nas and Eminem. Those 4 teams set the path of ‘what kind of music I need to do in the future’ for me.
Is there a similarity between those 4 teams?
Although all four have different inclinations, all their lyrics were just so real that I couldn’t help but have the thought that I want to do music like these people too. I thought that they were people who speak of real stories in an even more real way than the actual real story.
I’m curious about the first set of lyrics you wrote. What kind of story it was about, and what kind of real story you talked about. 
Although I don’t remember the title… It was on September in 2007. I made a song through an amateur producer’s beat on Jungle Radio ('Daum' hip-hop community), but I think it was really influenced by Eminem at the time. “Put away the unhappiness mixed with bluffs, and knock down dominoes, I plan to go out like this.” It was something like that. It doesn’t even make sense. Why would you knock down dominoes? Mixing bluffs… (laughter) It was when I was 14, but I think what I wanted to say in conclusion is the same as what it is now. 
Although hip-hop is a genre of music, it seems like a type of religion and philosophy. Just what is hip-hop? Just what is it that guys seem to go crazy over it?
Defining hip-hop is the same as trying to define love. If there are 6 billion people in the world, then there are 6 billion definitions of love, and like that, each definition of hip-hop is different for each person. Of course, it’s possible to give a dictionary definition. In 1970, there was a person called DJ Herc in South Bronx. At a party that he was hosting, he set breaks on a beat and during that break, someone would be rapping, someone would be dancing, and someone else would be doing graffiti… That’s how hip-hop was born, and they call that the 4 elements of hip-hop, but dictionary definitions like these is something anyone knows, but to explain that spirit… In one word, it’s something that can’t be explained. It’s a way that expresses me as well as being a meaning for freedom and rebelling. Because it’s something where people play and have fun with, it can have messages of peace and love placed in it. If you compare it to a Pokemon, it’s like a Ditto. Personally, hip-hop to me is the world. The world that I’m living in… It’s difficult, right? To be honest, it’s still hard for me too. 
Maybe it’s because I don’t know much about hip-hop, but there are many aspects of hip-hop culture or clothing that I’m unable to understand easily. The hanging gold necklaces, gun fires, images like that… I also don’t really understand the term ‘swag’ that is used often.
The culture of shooting guns and doing drugs is not the actual self of hip-hop. It’s just become a by-product that appeared around hip-hop music, it’s not the actual self of hip-hop. Although there’s a certain image that pops up clearly when you think of hip-hop fashion, that’s also becoming something that’s more broad. Look at A$AP Rocky or Kanye West. They don’t wear pants that drag around any more. To understand ‘swag’, you need to understand what kind of meaning ‘making it on your own’ has in hip-hop. Making it on your own is a very cool and important concept in hip-hop. I’ll use Jay-Z as an example. Jay-Z was a drug dealer. He’s someone that sold drugs on the rooftop of a very large stadium called Barclays Center, but he succeeded and bought that building. After buying that building, he dressed up in hip-hop and then went up to the rooftop and looked down at that building. Then they took a picture of that and posted it. After seeing that, everyone died. Kya… Just how cool is that? Jay-Z had a song a long time ago that was called ‘99 Problems’, but he raps “I’m someone with a lot of problems, but I don’t have any problems with women?”, yet he ended up marrying Beyonce later. Isn’t that amazing? Starting off as a drug dealer, becoming the best wealthy person, and marrying the most amazing woman in the world. I think that gives dreams and hopes to men. Showing that off and revealing it to the world is called ‘swag’. Even when they show it off very openly, you can’t hate or dislike it. Because they started from the bottom and made it on their own.
Going back to fashion, the fans’ complaints towards Rapmon’s fashion is quite notorious… (laughter) 
Because I’m really into gothic looks, I only wear monotone colors, but there are fans who dislike it and say that I look like a monk or a magician. I saw a Rick Owens show a few years ago, but it was really cool. I watched it, mesmerized, wondering, ‘what are those black clothes?’. However, gothic look clothing needs not only money, but a lot of courage as well. Just how bad could it be that I would be called a monk. However, I really like this. I think that I’m able to express all the worries and the loneliness that I have through my clothes styling. I feel like I haven’t even dipped 10% into it, but I plan to go to the end.
You have been garnering a lot of interest as a sexy-brained man, but I heard that Rapmon’s ideal type is also a ‘sexy-brained woman’. What kind of woman is a ‘sexy-brained woman’ to Rap Monster?
First off, they have to have their own thoughts and be subjective. Not for something that’s wrong in morals, but they need to be subjective with their own thoughts in order to express that without any discomfort. And while they speak during that process, things like that touch me. In one word, it’s when I feel that I’m able to learn something from this person, I want to know about this person even more, if I talk with this person, I feel like my mind will become richer. Someone who gives off feelings like those is a sexy person. I also like someone who understands loneliness. I hope it would be someone who can respond with ‘Ah, I think I know what you mean’ instead of ‘Why are you always lonely?’ when I speak of loneliness. 
Ultimately, what does Rap Monster want to tell the world through hip-hop, or is there something you want to say to yourself?
I just want to say that I’m like this right now, I’m this kind of person and I’ve lived like this, but I’m having these kinds of thoughts right now. And in the future, I’ll be like this… People want to have assurance towards their existence to no end. I think the reason I do music is that while speaking of my stories through music, I’m able to confirm the reason to my existence. I don’t want to be a petty person,but someone who remains in history. Because it’s a life that you only get one chance with, I want to influence people endlessly, give hopes, and become someone who can become a dream. Until then, I plan to continue on forth. Because that will become something that confirms the worth to my existence to the world and something that can personally confirm myself as to who I am.

Been taking a sudden mental health break this month but it was so sweet to come back and see that I was tagged by @solangewrite and @mondaysandwich for a little get-to-know post. Thank you pals :)
Last Song: Slip Away by Perfume Genius, but a lot of Son Lux and Les Friction too to help with my writing block.
Last Movie: Recently just watched The Prestige again, I don’t think I ever get tired of that movie it’s so good. But I’ve been watching shows over movies more lately and recently binged SpyxFamily (❤️❤️❤️) and have been watching the X-files because I love old cheesy shows.
Last Book: Unfortunately I haven't been reading too much lately, but the last book I remember really reading I definitely recommend. It's part of a German book series called Labyrinth of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers (which is technically book two, so go read City of Dreaming Books first if you want to get into it). I love the series so much and the style of it is refreshing.
I am horrible at tagging people and keeping track of these things so bear with me as I tag everyone who's probably already done this 😬: @zorlok-if , @midnighthopegames , @thenumbersgameif , @kalorphic , @if-mirrormine , @ingenio-academy-if , @honeypeabrain , @zico-if . @moonless-if

BTS stans are another breed i stg i posted on my priv saying that kpop and krnb artists tend to appropriate Black aesthetics+mannerisms to look and sound 'hood' and 'cool' till they get popular and then never address their debut eras. literally PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF BTS FRM DEBUT ERA and this friend of mine DMs me w just one word: 'receipts?'. i'm genuinely so done w ARMYs.

In the Works
Series:
genius nochang
spirits (part one) (part two: one fourths completed)
you’ve been haunted by spirits your whole life, your appearance is masked by them, hiding the harm they do to you. not one person has noticed, until one day, he saw you.
jongdae
serendipity (part one: just started lol)
born as one of the most powerful beings on your planet, your parents were scared, they had to hide you from the people that desired the powers you attained. the problem is, hiding is only effective for so long...
kyungsoo
last one standing (prologue: one fourths done) (part one: finished) started part one before prologue lol my bad (part two: just started)
your family has been running a corrupt business for years on end, and everyone wants them dead, specifically the mafia. once they’re all finally dead, you are the last target.
Scenarios:
cjamm
friends with benefits (halfway done)
things started to heat up between the two of you (kind of the only way to describe this lol, y’all cjamm fans will like this)
dok2
office crush (halfway-ish done)
joonkyung really likes you, and after finally signing you under illionaire he can’t hold back his crush.
jay park
friendly act (one fourth done)
request: hellooooo~~♡ can u write a jay park scenario where you and your crew and jay and aomg are invited to a party, you actually go out with jay for a solid 1 year relationship and u always keep the friendly acts in front of everyone .. so when u get to kiss in spin the bottle everyone senses something going on between u.. and u change the game only to be faced to “who knows yn” so they ask a series of questions that normally only couples answer jay did like you did to him and that’s how they got it
oh hyuk
tattooist (soulmate au) (halfway done)
request: well i’d like oh hyuk scenario to be a bit angsty but with a fluffy ending :) maybe an au soulmate or something like that?
drunk confessions (three fourths done)
with a friendship of fifteen years, why ruin it with your little crush. 
simon dominic
missing you (one fourth done)
you missed him, his hugs, his smile, everything. to bad that you let it all go.
zico 
what are you nervous for (one fourth done)
request: may i request a scenario with zico where him and the reader have been dating for a few months and he wants to introduce them to his crew/friends but the reader is nervous by meeting his friends/crew since they are a foreigner and a non idol? and it doesnt have to be just fanxychild crew, it could be jay and his crew too if you want to include them. thank you ^·^
zion.t
hands off (one fourth done)
request: i don’t know if this is a bit vague, but could i get an angsty scenario with zion.t please! i don’t really have any plot in mind but could it have a fluffier end? btw your blacknut scenarios were awesome! xxx
p.s. there are request i haven’t even gotten too, so looking at this list it’s clear i’m unorganized. i hope to finish some of the scenarios before the year ends.
p.s.s i’m not the best at summarizing in general, i always write too much. so i tried to not do that so if in anyway these small blurbs aren’t enough my bad.
