  1. Such a lovely post, thanks!

     

    But when I got to the end of Aron's photo shoot all I could think of is omg get the flowers out of your pants young man.

     

    Those poor flowers... Thank God they are fake or I would be traumatized for life on their behalf.

     

    Something is seriously wrong with me, I know. But I literally had to say that all anyway.

  2. in case you haven't cried yet today or something

     

     

    Awww that's so sweet. But the way Minhyun cried at the end of PD101 season 2 told me everything I could ever possibly want to know about these 5 guys.

     

    It's perfectly possible that during their forced separation that they could have grown apart.

     

    But I don't think it happened and I don't know why their closeness would surprise anyone now (if they knew Nu'est even a little before the show). They literally grew up together.

     

    Minhyun cried almost as much as I did, even with the adorable Seonho literally climbing all over him.

     

    (Which is still really, really high on my list of the most adorable and comforting things I have ever seen in my entire life.)

     

    Anyway, I'm not at all surprised that my babies are planning to spend a lot of time together.

     

    For years all they had was each other and instead of blaming each other for that, they treasured the time they had together and the few fans who did stay with them.

  3. Thank God the thread is back to as normal as it has ever been.

     

    Just dropping by to say that Suho seems pretty gay to me most of the time.

     

    And the same with Nu'est's precious little baby, Ren. No matter how many times I try, I still absolutely can't imagine him being with a girl. He reminds me so much of my best friend in high school.

     

    We used to go to the mall and watch the cute guys (and girls for me) together all the time.

  4. The twist about all of this the owner is White

    Sent from my iPhone using OneHallyu mobile app

    Wtf does the owner being white have to do with anything?

     

    Look, I'm as pissed at being demonized as a pedophile as the rest of you. But the people who are attacking the mods and admins are only making this horrible situation 500 times worse.

     

    We all need to calm down. I didn't jump in when everything went wrong because I didn't want to make things worse and I am glad to see that other people have said that we don't want to make things worse.

     

    I love this site and I don't want to see anyone get banned over an argument started by a troll.

  5.  

    Youngjae is a CEO omg he has his own agency now and he want to drop a solo album in April ~

    also Zelo want to release his solo in May 

    rip wallet :rlytearpls: 

    Are you serious? Youngjae has his own agency? Amazing- but I always thought it would be Yongguk doing that. But now all I can think of is that I want everyone else to join him in it.

     

    That's amazing! I'm so proud of them all. I will always love them, I literally watched Zelo and Guppy grow up.

  6. why have i seen no one talk about this literally anywhere?

    rant below bc im feeling a bit frustrated lmao

     

    ngl it sometimes frustrates me that people ignore smaller groups that actually openly support the lgbt community just because they’re not from a popular group. like you have ungjae from imfact openly discussing his sexuality and attraction to both girls and boys, you have hyunggu and wooseok writing this song about a lesbian couple, you have wyatt from onf saying that he has no problems with same sex couples and that he can’t "touch their love", and you have holland, an openly gay idol who features lgbt content in his mvs and songs but people would rather focus on their imaginary ships or how oppa looked at his member for three seconds uwu (this probs seems very salty, im just frustrated as an lgbt person that people are ignoring idols that could help the community become more accepted to instead focus only on bigger groups or their fetishising fantasies)

     

    I agree!

     

    Real life has been pushing me through the wringer a couple of times a day for a few weeks now. So I feel like I'm being stretched so thin that I don't feel like I have any time to myself lately.

     

    But since Jonghyun died, I have been afraid to get attached to any new groups lately. And even with the groups I was already into, I don't watch very many of their reality or variety shows anymore.

     

    His passing hit me hard and I still think about him literally every day. I want to pretend everything is fine with me but I can't.

     

    Kpop saved my life back in 2010 and a big part of that was seeing all of the gay guys in the groups I love just being themselves.

     

    In my opinion, Siwon, Heechul, Jonghyun, Key and a ton of other idols are undeniably gay.

     

    But we all know that 95.99999% of the Kpop groups out there won't make it. And I don't want to see any other groups go through what Nu'est did, knowing that in the end, 90% of them will still disappear.

     

    I'm probably doing a horrible job of explaining how I feel, but I just wanted to say that I want to support every group out there. (Especially the ones who get talked about a lot over here. Like Imfact and the various incarnations of NCT.)

     

    But I don't know if I will ever get there.

  7. Interview Taemin did called "Why Taemin Won't Apologize For His Androgynous Aesthetic Anymore" under spoiler :lovestruck: :

     

     

    The power of smoky eyes isn't lost on dudes, let me tell ya. For 25-year-old beloved K-pop star Taemin, sooty black shadow diffused on the outer corners of his lids has helped emphasize his signature duality. Through his fluid choreography, playful personality, and sensual songs, the K-pop star has become known for his sexy-yet-pure image, as Taemin describes it to me. Dramatic eye makeup, specifically, intensifies his impressive aura, and that's incredibly intentional.

     

    "As an artist who performs on the stage, I try to express my feelings and convey my inner thoughts through the looks I give the audience," he explains. "So, I tend to focus on making sure that my makeup highlights my eyes properly."

     

    For many, Taemin needs no introduction. In case you need one, though, I got you: In 2008, a then-15-year-old Taemin debuted with K-pop group SHINee as the youngest member and charismatic main dancer, and the quintet quickly became one of the most influential acts in the industry. Taemin, in particular, stood out with his androgynous aesthetic. At the start of his career, his long hair drew so much attention that he jokingly apologized for being "too pretty" on TV in 2012. Now, 10 years into his flourishing career, he's not apologizing for his androgyny anymore. His hair may be shorter now, but he's owning the way he marries masculinity and feminity in his stunning performances. If this is the first you're hearing of Taemin, I strongly suggest watching his music video for his incredibly popular solo song "Move" to put all of this into perspective.

     

    While preparing for his series of solo concerts at Seoul's SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium, which will take place March 15 through 17, Taemin took a break to reveal how makeup has shaped his thriving career and why he believes a standard for masculinity doesn't exist.

     

    My Experience Then

     

    When Taemin shares his earliest makeup memory with me, I find myself overcome with déjà vu. Like me, Taemin first began dabbling in cosmetics occurred around age 12 for picture day — mine was for school, his for, well, not school.

     

    At the time, Taemin was an SM Entertainment trainee getting a profile photo taken. Although he doesn't remember which products were used, his first experience with makeup has stuck in his memory. "It felt like as if I’m wearing a mask — not because it was uncomfortable but because I looked kind of cool yet a bit unfamiliar at the same time," he recollects. "It felt like my attitude changed as my looks changed." I, on the other hand, snuck into the bathroom at my private school in South Florida to etch a black eye pencil along my water lines and swipe on mascara before my yearbook photo was taken. We weren't allowed to wear more than lipgloss to class, but I was a dramatic teen dedicated to having smudgy liner for my official school portrait.

     

    Once Taemin debuted three years later, he realized makeup is another way to convey the vibe of his concept and music. "As I utilized makeup, I found the increasing need to build my own artistic image," he says. "The synergy created from clothing, hair, and makeup combined is truly amazing, so makeup has been, is, and will be a key factor in establishing my identity as an artist."

     

    His interest in bold eye makeup, in particular, piqued when his first solo single, "Danger," dropped in 2014. "I remember using a lot of dark eyeliners and black smoky eye shadows," Taemin shares. In the music video for the song, metallic gunmetal and asphalt pigments were blended all over his lids. Sometimes, the deep shadows completely blanketed his eyes all the way to his bleached brows or jutted upward in sharp winged shapes.

     

    Compared to his typically fresh-faced SHINee look, his solo aesthetic was strikingly darker and stronger, which shocked even Taemin at first. "I clearly recall looking into the mirror for a while with the heavy eye makeup," Taemin continues. "[it] was really new to me."

     

    My Relationship Now

     

    Over the past 10 years in the K-pop game, Taemin has tried so many makeup products, but he points to eye shadow as a staple. "There are so many colors and types of eye shadows, and each one of them has different moods and vibes, which immensely helps to highlight the concept of my music," Taemin explains. "I guess I will continue using them going forward!"

     

    With the release of his recent title track, "Want," Taemin knew he wanted to his trademark sexy-and-charismatic-yet-pure charm to stand out more than ever in the music video and on stage. "In order to portray this, I aimed towards light-but-sexy makeup," he says. The rich, satiny gold, bronze, and pewter shadows that rimmed his lash lines glimmered whenever the light hit his eyes.

     

    The first time I watched the music video, I remember thinking, "This is the most Taemin makeup I've ever seen." The shimmery shades had an ethereal quality that echoed his dancing, but at the same time, they boosted the intensity of the video. Honestly, Taemin's golden smoky eyes perfectly paired with the snake slithering over his arm. This scene exemplified the theatricality that makes Taemin tick.

     

    "I have no regrets on taking risks to express and differentiate myself from others as an artist."

     

    "It was overall very elegant and androgynous, which might have gained mixed reactions," Taemin notes. "However, I have no regrets on taking risks to express and differentiate myself from others as an artist." Above all, he thanks his fans for being able to continue to do so and supporting his artistic career and the daring looks that come with it. They're the reason why he won't stop experimenting with makeup any time soon. "I think it’s important to keep on trying and finding new looks that can amplify my music and performance," he adds.

     

    No matter what his makeup looks like or how he presents androgyny in his work, Taemin doesn't seem to believe he's defying any sort of stereotypes of masculinity. As a matter of fact, he doesn't think masculinity should look a certain way at all. Makeup isn't even a part of the equation because it's another layer of his art.

     

    "If makeup highlights and empowers my unique appeal, why not use it?"

     

    "For me, I think there is no absolute standard on masculinity," he states. "Nowadays, there are a lot of men who care about skin care and even use makeup to express themselves. I feel like there was a strict gender classification in the past, but the boundaries have become more blurred and our society is more about accepting and respecting each other’s differences these days. If makeup highlights and empowers my unique appeal, why not use it?

     

     

    Great interview tbh, especially love the last part :rlytearpls:

    Link

     

    Great interview, thanks so much for sharing it.

     

    Sorry for the neg. Phone and I are having a competition to see who is the bigger idiot. I think I'm still losing...

  8. Precious little baby... He's so talented and great at everything. He's a great actor and singer. I don't want him to leave EXO.

     

    BUT at the same time, SM is literally a big box of assholes that bring us these amazing groups and music, but then they just slowly stop promoting them.

     

     

    My heart hurts so much right now. Kyungsoo is my bias in EXO. I took too long to get into EXO and I know that is my fault. But I love his voice even more than I love his acting skills.

     

    I don't know. I hope at some point that everyone in the company will some day leave SM high and dry.

     

    But if DO leaves I am afraid that he won't sing anymore and his voice is what drew me to EXO in the first place, so if he leaves I will never be the same.

    Also today's on-spot voice v-live of Minhyun & Ren!!!: (vlive link)

     

    What about that Rap duet!!! I think Minhyun's rap skill gets even better?

    Though JR is also often mistook as one of the vocals instead of main rapper, remembering that Ren was supposed to be in rap position, I can't help be imagined how more manga-like NU'EST would be with manly-rapper-looking Baekho as main vocal & androgynous-sweet-looking Ren as main rapper :ahmagah:

    The funny thing to me is that the first time I saw their music video for Face I was waiting for Baekho to start rapping.

     

    When I watched it the second time I decided that he was going to be my bias.

Another precious vid i'll repeat eternally till the next one I was so emo when Minhyun sang all those songs and they all helped him i'm... i know that he was always supporting nuble in the shadow but watching him sing their b-sides like that made me realize again how much he paid attention to them those last 2 years despite being so busy himself! I'm once again amazed by their bond, even though i should know by now how strong it is. It's... they're all just very, very special aren't they? T.T
