  1. This is probably really irrelevant now considering that IE NYC happened like three days ago and there's probably a lot of other IE fan accs, but I'll just put mine down because the post-concert depression is SO REAL and it's becoming just a big glittery blur in my head. I have a tendency to give commentary and overembellish because sometimes these babies are so funny I can't. Warning that I may still be fuzzy and (not grammatically correct that my eng prof would be ashamed) and may other concert peoples please correct me

    • I sat in the mezz, 7th row (which I think is a good sign because ot7) so I may not be as accurate(?) as other people who got better seats/pit
    • Facing the fact that while Infinite pumps out amazing concerts like clockwork, I really felt the vibe that most of the members were on autopilot, Myungsoo's body language showed that the most. He normally has his stoic L stare on, and normally doesn't talk a lot anyway, but a lot of his stares were almost, empty?  It really really sucks being the last city on the Americas tour, because you can just feel the exhaustion, especially on a tuesday, especially when they just came back from a really hot country and coming back to a really cold country (20 degrees F that night)  but honestly what can you do??? Poor guys, it wasn't until the second half of the show during Inft-F myung was into it. A lot of his fanservice stems from other members, if he did aegyo it was usually in the corner with another member (yes myung I caught that bbuingbuing with hyun) And during the end of F's stage Sungyeol prodded Myungsoo like "gogogogodoitbecute" and Myungsoo blew a kiss and said he loves us or something, and before the lights dimmed I caught Myung shoving yeol back in embarrassment and giving his wonderful little dimple smile 
    • Sungyeol went to the bottom of the stage to be at height for his fans! And then he got his fansite fan haha.
    • Sungyeol man, he said something along the lines like "y'all gotta step up your game the crowd in South America was louder than you!" and man I was partly disappointed we couldn't be loud enough for them (yeol's dead-on stare was killing me even though he was probably partly joking) and there weren't a lot of lightsticks in the crowd, and 95% people were probably cold and coming straight from school 
    • During Inft-F's perf, Sungjong was practically pushed away by Yeol during one of the transitions LMAO he's like the older brother a kid never wanted. But Sungjong's all smiles and he's so so so freaking nice and he sounds so gentle and kind and really I'm proud that he took the time to memorize all those english phrases for us because yes yes I'm your darling such as you are mine.
    • They did NOT perform "For You" which was a little disappointing, so the tone quickly went the other way for "nothing's over" I know they change the setlist per country and I know we really have no reason to have any special treatment but that I guess I can't complain if they're so tired or whatever reason may be
    • DONGWOO STOLE THE SHOW. Geez that boy still manages to make up and be a ball of energy. He definitely elicited the most response out of all, from singing random english songs to his beautiful laugh. He spoke english the most out of everyone, even if we could barely understand it half the time. (was he the one who said to go to shakeshake/fiveguys and go get  drink?) He sung with one of the dino plushies a fan threw (and it was basically rubbing at his crotch the entire song) and during one of the talks he was practically giving the wall a lapdance like this boy what even. he told us to come visit them in korea and made to leave the stage as if we'd follow him haha I wish!
    • And then Dongwoo goes "beautiful faces... nice body" or something like that, and once he said "body" he started spazzing like crazy going "omgsorrysorrysorry" and Woohyun and him were laughing  and body-gagging like dorks in the back being all wonderful and cute.
    • My god. Woohyun's solo was everything I needed and more. I'm usually worried about America doing fan projects because it's really really really hard to succeed, for example the "dashi dora wa" during the pre-encore wasn't really happenin (we're not as assimilated as Korean fans are for obvious reasons) but I was really proud when the fan project with the Everyday banners worked out! Even if I couldn't see a direct response he was definitely touched. 
    • During the last talks we started chanting happy birthday to Woohyun and at first he was hella, hella confused. It was great. 
    • Of course Hoya's gotta come in and be like "Before the concert, I saw a sign that said "Happy birthday Hoya!" and at first I didn't understand why... because it's not my birthday. But now I understand, because now that I've seen you guys, I've been reborn again" (you little...) Typical Hoya LOL. and then he had the snark to ask "can you sing happy birthday to me too!?" and we actually did it as if we didn't know Myungsoo's birthday is before his and still it's in the middle of march. But then again, rather do it early than never! :) 
    • (also, scorpion dance be killin it, I almost can't believe I saw it considering half the tour he was out :() utterly thankful that Hoya recovered (seemingly) and that rehab worked out for him, and that he prepared such a speech in english) 
    • towards the end Dongwoo asked, "Are you okay, grandfather?" to the pit and I was assuming an older fan was in the pit for them and he was worried, so sweet! 
    • During final speeches Myungsoo's name was being chanted I believe in the beginning and end, (to which at one point in the beginning Myungsoo literally waved us off and said "okay okay okay that's enough lemme talk" haha) And in the end just before Sunggyu was about to make his leader speech people were still chanting Myungsoo's name, then Hoya butted in to join the bandwagon like "HEY Lee Howon, Lee Howon" and of course we did chanted his name because he asked. Suddenly Sunggyu was givin the leader-nim look and Hoya quickly backtracked "KIDDING JUST KIDDING" and nodded slightly to Gyu "sorry sorry" to his authority like LMAO how cute
    • Sunggyu is a pro leader for real though. You can feel it. He's hospitable and charming and wonderful and works so hard even when the rest of the team is wobbling (which almost never happens anyway) he's all squishy smiles and I could just imagine him having so much fun watching Phantom on broadway. 
    • I cried in the end. 
    • Do I even need to say that they're better looking in person???
    • I'm just really really bittersweet that I don't know when's the next time I'll see them. Hoya I believe was the last to leave, so once he went I was literally out of it because military and comebacks and korean promotions all those sad things that don't involve nyc. Someone come brave it out with me in the pit next time (hoya promised they'd come back!), it seemed a lot calmer than OGS, by miles
    • I was so emotionally distraught that I hung around a little bit. And then I ran into (one of) Infinite's manager! He was getting one of the cameras back I assume, and one of the fansites started talking to him. I was probably a real lame-o when I bowed and said goodnight really loudly to him, he must've thought I was so crazy!

     

    Hope you guys enjoyed my rambling, god I miss them so much already ( I mean I always miss them), time to love them from my laptop screen once more

  2. I'm so happy! I'm 9 posts away- well, 8 now, from getting my 3rd badge!

    Next up is Myungyeol (so Sungyeol first, then Myungsoo). 

     

    Do any of you guys know where I can watch Infinite reacting to their Grow documentary? Is it on YouTube?

    And do they have any k-dramas or variety shows on Netflix? I watch them on Viki and Dramafever...but I use Netflix for everything else so....

    Actually, I'll see if I can find any on there.

     

    Edit: They have some Korean dramas. I was actually watching Doctor Who and Doctor Stranger showed up as a suggestion.

    I never knew they had kdramas. 

     

    They surprisingly have a lot of Korean shows!

    Myungsoo's drama is on there last time I checked (but I don't have netflix otl) 

    It's not called Shut up Flower Boy Band, I believe it's Shut up and Let's Go.

  3. The hotel thing with Woohyun reminds me of that one time someone threw (a pen? or something) at Myungsoo while they were trying to get breakfast in a hotel or whatever. And then Myungsoo looks so freaking done and he stalks away all pissed off, that Sungyeol has to practically chase after him. 

    And I really don't want to be reminded of that /shivers.

    I can't imagine going to such lengths for them. I love them dearly but I would never want to be remembered that way. 

  4. My motivation for mainly being in the pit was to see the hype about L's looks (I stan him, but you know, I really wanted to see just how good looking this guy was). He's worth the hype and way more. Plus, I also wanted to see how the others fared in real life. I should have done what you did actually, I don't know why I didn't leave. Then again, I wouldn't have seen his creepy self staring silently at one spot in the audience for minutes like a statue. I think I escaped alright cause I'm like 5'5-5'6 tall, and I knew how to weave myself around the crowd to get good spots for air when my lungs needed it. At the end of the concert, I was too full of after concert feels to really be that affected. I went through a weird sensation of emptiness when it was over and I wanted them to come back. I didn't want it to be done. And that kept up for a week.

     

    I would do it again, so call me insane, lol.

     

    I just hope they're smart enough this time to have no mosh pit, all seated. And that it's in Madison. I know that would mean they have to shell out more money to book a night, but Hammerstein Ballroom was a nightmare. It's no place for a K-Pop concert.

     

    Dude, I still can't believe I saw Myungsoo. I think it was just a hallucination from being drowned in sweat and trapped in body heat. 

     

    I saw Yeol and Dongwoo's expressions seeing us struggle in the pit. It looked like Yeol couldn't believe it, his mouth was open in wonder and he was still. I felt awful. They can't do anything but say to please stop pushing. And Infinite shouldn't have to say that! You paid to see them, be respectful. There's a vid of one of the IEs in Europe and the members are telling them in broken English to stop pushing and back the hell away and everyone thought it was so cute. It's not! They were genuinely afraid! And the worst part is, they can't do anything about it. They must keep the show going, otherwise causing more panic and hysteria. Imagine how it felt to keep performing knowing a London fan broke a leg or something, they must've been on autopilot for some songs. It wasn't the first time for them to perform with a violent pit, but they traveled all the way to Europe and did a European leg, to reach out to their International fans and give them a good time. 

     

    They don't want to see you get hurt, and they don't want you to have a terrible concert experience. And knowing Infinite, knowing their Inspirits got hurt at their concert, they would blame/take responsibility themselves for not protecting them even if it was purely the fans. 

     

    It's called Hammerstein "Ballroom". Same with Infinite Effect in Paris, which was a classical music hall. Not to belittle those venues, but it isn't a place for a Korean concert. It was suffocating. And yes I would do the pit again and I'm fun-sized. Although my mom wants to come with me to Infinite Effect (she wants to understand my hype and she got into D-Day!). I just don't feel comfortable stalking (and NO ONE should stalk) and god knows how I'd fare if I saw them randomly in town. So the pit would probably be my only chance at getting close ups. 

     

    I really don't imagine they'd be able to get Madison, honestly. That's where SMTown was. Maybe, maybe Prudential? I was in the pit for Big Bang Alive tour there, and I stood to the very front of the barrier and survived (granted the BB audience is way older and less inclined to push) but security was great and they minimized the number of fans in the pit was around 2-3hundred, and because the catwalk is huge there was a lot of room to space out. 

     

    Also I WISH AMERICAN/EURO/WHATEVER NON-ASIAN ORGANIZERS WOULD STOP BELITTLING/UNDERESTIMATING K-FANS BECAUSE THEY NEED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND CONTROL THESE THINGS. I know every concert is like this, but still. These fans are young.  

  5. OGS in NYC was terrifying. I was in the middle middle, and granted I'm only 5 feet tall. I saw a family there! Like mom and dad and kids and I was so shocked that they wanted to do that. Somehow I ended up all the way in the front-middle, floating. I was so pissed. I'm going to quote what I said in my Myungsoo thread: 

     

    "I remember in OGS NYC, I was in the pit (bless my soul and the hundred other souls who survived this) and I got pushed to the front somehow. And I'm short around 154cm, I could not breathe. Someone threw water in my face so I could at least find some hydration other than the sweat surrounding me. Wings was playing.

    And I looked up somehow, and saw Myungsoo's flawless self on stage. (I did see Hoya/Yeol as well earlier, but that's another thing) My god, was he real? It's like an International fan spends his/her whole fandom life looking at a computer screen, and you weigh it nearly impossible to ever meet this guy, and bam. 

    Needless to say, after that I got the hell out of that pit once I saw his face. Will never be my favorite concert unfortunately (Let's hope IE changes that) but the stunning visuals was somewhat worth it after that experience."

     

    But it doesn't change the fact a lot of people really got hurt. I know how much every one wants to see Infinite, and Infinite definitely wants to see every one of you if they had the chance. But you just can't. (In fact I think I'm going crazy because I want to take a chance in the pit again because my vision isn't the best.)

     

    And after OGS, I got out of Infinite for a good quarter of the year. I was too ashamed by the NY Inspirits attitude and it ruined my experience. I felt so much secondhand embarrassment I couldn't even listen to Infinite without feeling like shit. 

  6. PREACH

     

    Do any of you guys know the US dates for IE and if they were released yet?

    I highly doubt I'll be able to go, but there's been people who have been asking about the dates (including some of my newbie kpop friends) and even if I can't go, I want to encourage them to go.

     

    #lifeofacollegestudent

    I would LOVE to know. Apparently subculture tried to get them but it was too hard. So probably next year. But Sunggyu did state in an interview that they are going to the states.

     

    (Let's go to IE Nyc togetherrrr)

  7. In regards to my friend not liking Dongwoo's dancing, I'd like to bring back this gem: 

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZe9MUZjojY

     

    Like yes, Hoya killed it. But not in the same way Dongwoo did. I think of Hoya and Dongwoo as great dancers across two different sides of the spectrum. Hoya's like a well-oiled machine, and Dongwoo's like hydropower. Dongwoo needs more dance solos!! 

     

    But that perf, omg. He melts his body and weaves it into the music. So wonderful. 

     

    In regards to getting my friends into Infinite: 

     

     

    I hate to say to the majority doesn't seem to be their thing. Infinite never comes into conversation. It's all about the "new" groups. Like no, I'm not into girls gyrating their hips in their sickly sweet rap voices, or guys screaming in my face. Sigh. I just want them to appreciate K-pop isn't all about "that". But they're definitely not in the wrong either. But grahhhh they need more Dongwoo in their lives seriously. Infinite is too genuine. 

     

    I do have one friend who loves Infinite H. She loves loves loves Hoya which is awesome. But she definitely does not like Myungsoo, she simply labels him as "the visual" and it breaks my heart. But how do you not love Myungsoo!!

    I got another to listen to Diamond and Between Me and You, live of course, and now I'm going to show her Shot and Shower. She loved it! Seriously Infinite's ballads are so overlooked.

    I just rewatched their Shower goodbye stages and it all came rushing back to me how much I love Season 2. So cohesive, so classic. It's likely my top kpop album ever. :rlytearpls:

     

     

    Slay a bit @ 1:27 and 1:46. :ahmagah:

    I think the best aspect of Infinite's music is that they're not overtly "in your face". While there's nothing wrong with heavy catchy beats and the whole hip-hop vibe, Infinite's sound is just... ah refreshing.

     

    They don't try to reach out and give a song that's for the initial audience, they're very traditional and "Korean-pop" I suppose?

     

     

     

    My K-pop friends are ALL non-Inspirits. I've tried showing them, and they don't get it. Some have blatantly said they don't like their sound, that it's "too classic" but what exactly is too classic!? They're big YG, 17 and BTS stans, which is all well and good, but when I tried to show them Back (which at the time I thought the best song to introduce them to, more "friendly" and cool choreo)

     

    And they found it too slow and called Dongwoo a bad dancer. Like NOOOO he's the bestttttt!!!!

     

    Me: he's one of the main dancer

    Friend: well uh, he's not doing well there

     

     

     

    Their music, it's so streamline, and electrifying.

     

    Shower is forever a masterpiece and if they promoted that song they'd take over the world. There's so much layering (as opposed to usual K-pop songs which have one line dictated solely to a member) from Woohyun pushing Myungsoo's note, to Sungjong leading the last bridge, and Hoya rapping with Sunggyu singing along. I'm so sad it isn't in the setlist for Infinite Effect.

  9. Also: I just had a random Myungsoo-thought (like I do all hours of the day)

     

    tumblr_mks5ioisQV1s4mxtuo1_500.gif

     

    And I remembered this moment after their MIL win. And wondering "Why is my baby crying!?" And yes he's a sensitive sweetheart but usually he isn't so emotional on stage. And it really shocked me because everyone was so so happy, and he seems so overwhelmed and maybe it was tears of happiness but at the same time it worried me to no end. I know after this clip, they urge him to come and give them all the happy hugs, and at that moment I just wanted to give him juice and cuddles. 

  10. So I had the strangest dream last night... sort of a 'what if'. 

     

    "What if Infinite debuted in America?" 

     

     

     

     

    I don't know if you guys know, but a couple years back after Be My Baby era, Wonder Girls had a one-hour movie on TeenNick about their "debut" in America. The show was garnered towards the tween audience for obvious reasons.

     

    So in my dream, lols Infinite was half-filming half wandering around the states and such. Every one's trying their best with their English and Sungyeol's pulling that line of "If you cheat on us, I will chase you to the end of the world, I mean it!" Hoya wasn't injured and he was dancing around like the bad ass he is, and Sunggyu was being Sunggyu and turned into judgy-leader. Sungjong was quiet, giving his cute smile now and again. Woohyun was all for the Yeol shenanigans of course and spouting out cute English.

     

    And Myungsoo was crying for whatever reason. He was always alone, looking like he didn't feel ready for anything. I don't know, I just got "Grow" feels all over again. And honestly I can't watch Grow without getting really emotional, I have to skip his parts.  

     

    And so, thank god my dream-turned-nightmare ended there. While I love Infinite and I will support them no matter what (even in my dream I was cheering from the audience) since a USA debut is far far far from happening, I do hope I don't have to experience that dream ever again. 

     

    (For some reason when Koreans try to debut in America it freaks me out sorrys)

     

     

     

  11. I have so many strong, frustrating feelings about this drama. OTL, (I was thinking about it ALL DAY after watching the first two episodes and a bout of anger coming from my younger brother who was watching it with me). 

     

    So if you may like, you can click for my long-winded, half livid and exasperated, English-student analysis of Sassy Go Go: 

     

     

     

     

    Dongjae/Yeondoo are total besties and the writer wants us to fall in love with their relationship and let it burn to hell because of the male lead, of course. But I get so much tension coming from Dongjae. His character is made to be flat and one-tracked, "Yeondoo and Yeondoo only" but I really hope they follow his storyline well. He has some sort of trauma relating to contact, he won't push in basketball, of all contact sports, ignored Yeondoo's hug that one time (although I think he was just out of it that one time, I'm sure she's the only exception to touch) and the way he reacted in the bathroom (I really hope people put forewarning scene with all these triggers, I thought it was going to be like Bring it On!) (But I am feeling a Dongjae/Sooah vibe soon)

     

    Speaking of Sooah, poor girl! I hope they follow her psyche as well. Yes everyone hates her and think she's a "bitch" but they're opening up all these stories for a reason, right? Look at how she reverts to her "ice princess" vibe so quickly, she's defensive and scared she won't get into harvard, disappoint everyone. She's literally going crazy and there's no one to help her when she's supposed to remain calm, collected, and docile. When she's phoning her college consultant, you can hear the shriek and the way her voice cracks, that's pure fear. I hate how she feels so restricted to one path. You can tell when everyone gangs up on her during the cheer leading announcement, she's afraid to be used before she can use others first. She's going to all lengths for this, and it's terrifying. 

     

    And does no one find Kim Yeol incredibly creepy!? I’m sorry, but when Yeon-Doo points out that he’s a pervert, I really think she’s right. He’s always off to touch her in compromising situations, taking every random opportunity, and then five minutes later he’s hating, five seconds later he’s strangely flirting and it’s really freaking me out. It gets cringe worthy, do you like her or not!? If so, your rep means nothing! Be an actual human being and talk to her. He's like a little elementary school boy who picks (TORTURES) the girl he likes. These mixed feelings are killing me and it's only been two episodes! If he wasn't a gorgeous boy with an eye smile, but an average guy, it would be beyond disgusting. 

     

    But fine, the relationship with Kim Yeol and Ha Joon is great. When the principal mentions "You want to graduate with Ha Joon, right?" as if it might NOT happen killed me to the core. And then Ha Joon blames himself! He fears his father, his grades, everything, more than his health and well-being. (Honestly, I think cheerleading will help him A LOT) It's as if everyone knows the problem but they do nothing! I hate how there's no wiggle room for these students. I guess that's how it feels for actual Korean students? It makes me feel incredibly privileged not having to go through that, and I hate how it's a sad reality because I shouldn't feel privileged! I'm happy it captures the stigma of these young kids, when Kim Yeol says "Stop, they're actually acting like eighteen year olds" that KILLED ME. How awful it must be to say that! The writers better close up all these plot lines and send a good message to these viewers (Where Yeon Doo seems to be the ambassador of "live happily and breathe easily")

     

     

    But then again, more room to develop characters, right? It’s only twelve episodes, so I’m praying they do it justice. 

     

    If anyone hasn't noticed, nearly EVERY CHARACTER in this story has a major problem one way or another. I really hope they do this justice. So many people cried in just two episodes! Yeon Doo was bleary-eyed every five minutes! I really hope that each problem isn't glossed over and taken lightly. Especially because the tone is in a supposedly light-hearted, rom-com cheerleader(!) drama. Suicide, stress, self-harm, these two themes are wayyyyyyyy out of balance. I have so much to say, misogyny, depression, Yeon Doo's *everybody's repression, but even my thoughts feel too heavy for a drama that was promoted to be light and happy and yay! sports and things that most Korean schools do twice a year. I feel like it might be a mess so I'm just going to pray for the sake of my (and all the other characters') sanity.

  13. Hi guys, I'm a new user one OneHallyu. And I'm a huge Inspirit and I'm really happy to join this thread!

     

    AND YES, the Warsaw concert looked amazing! The pearl metal gold ocean was beautiful even if not many fans could get their hands on official yeobongs. I bet you guys had so much fun, and I'm happy you guys and Infinite had a great time! Everything seemed so nice and organized, even the way you guys were singing the songs and replying to the members. I can't wait to hear fanaccs and how your experiences were!

  14. Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum (after spending hours and hours reading this thread, I caved and registered). Also, the whole "hide/show/reply/quote" thing is confusing me because I don't want to kill you all with a block of text. But I just wanna tell everyone a little *maybe lotta because I ended up writing a lot* bit about myself, learn about you beautiful Myungsoo-stans, how I fell in love with Myungsoo, and hopefully make time to be as active as possible!

     

     

     

    My name's Camille and I'm a second-year English-Edu major. I got into K-pop through a friend when I was about twelve. My first major bias group was SHINee, and I thought I'd stay with them forever, but I guess that's what every fan initially thinks. Eventually I went to HS and got into a Boyfriend (yes the group, not an actual bf pls) phase. 
    Around my junior year my friend joined this new fandom, of some group named Infinite. At the time I was a little butthurt my only K-pop friend was shoving Infinite in my face (but I was totally blind at the time, I swear). She showed me "Be Mine" and linked me for days to watch their perfs, watch Sesame, and fall in love with them. She called me once and cried because she was so proud of Infinite's first win, and at that time, I didn't understand (yes I regret everything now). No one likes it when people shove things in their faces, so I repelled. At the time I only knew/recognized Sungjong, because he did girl group dances beautifully. In my faint memory, I remember my insensitive self thinking "What the hell kind of name is L" and moved on.
    AND THEN. The Chaser was released. 
    My friend went all sorts of cray and sent it to me. This time I didn't relent. (THANK GOD I DIDN'T) and I let the music video play in a back-tab while I did my homework. 
    Hearing The Chaser... was an experience. 

    So I watched the video. And I swear to god, I was mesmerized by this part (cr. to glorious owners):

    tumblr_mcn69s0zW11rgppsfo2_250.gif

     

    tumblr_m43n5mRxgm1qcvb82o1_r1_500.gif

    It was the eyes, the hair, the gesture of his hand, EVERYTHING.

    That day, I basically replayed that song a million times, and months after until iPod broke, The Chaser was played over 600 times according to the counter.

    Unfortunately. After it's release I didn't get into Infinite officially. It wasn't until January of my junior year, before MIL came out, that I re-watched all of Infinite's MVs. I watched Sesame Player, thought it wasn't enough. So I took a break from it and started going on different dramas. I ended up watching Shut Up Flower Boy Band. Then I watched Ranking King. Then I wrote fanfiction. It's been four years since. The end.

     

     

     

     

    BUT, WHY am I Myungsoo-biased? 

     

     

     

    Other than the fact that he's a beautiful specimen (again cr. owners):

    Then there's cuddly Squishy-Soo

    Giggly and embarassed Soo:

    BUT MyungGUNS:

    Myungsoo with KIDS:

     

     

    He's just, so real. And I mean genuine. He's so wonderful and honest and wants everyone to be happy. Really, a part of me believes the world doesn't deserve such a sweetheart as Kim Myungsoo. Yes, I know the only part of Myungsoo we see is the Myungsoo he wants to show us, but even then, you can just feel that he is as kind and charming as he reveals. 

     

    As well, he's hardworking. Not to say all members aren't hard-working. But there's something very particular

    about him. 

     

    He tries so hard to just not be "the visual". He tries so hard to stray away from the stigmatized, cookie-cut image he was made to be. And it's not the "L-cosplay" he's worked years to contrive and emulate, it's everything. He releases photo books, he's serious as hell in all his acting gigs (got his license AND Scuba certification), his singing/dancing has improved tremendously, he's learned electric guitar, he's a beautiful writer, he's probably written a couple more songs than that one time at LBV fanmeet, and so much more that I can't remember. He's naturally shy and reserved, but he's learned to put himself out there and do all the variety and giggle and clap like a seal (although I must admit he gets a bit of the jitters without Infinite once in awhile). He was never a born-talented dancer, singer, actor, etc. But he's worked hard to make up for it, made of brute determination and steel force. 

     

    (Although, it breaks my heart that he still feels like he isn't good enough. That all of this, still isn't enough. People still hate on him for no concrete reason. And so the cycle continues, and works himself even harder.)

     

    And just as doing that, he loves Infinite with all his heart. He cherishes this chapter in his life so securely. This is beside the adorable clingly-koala hugging and snuggling with CuddlySoo. It seems that Myungsoo likes to take pictures of the scene rather than partaking in them, if you notice in vids he usually smiles in the background watching everyone goof off before doing so himself. He doesn't speak much in interviews, at least not initially, but he gives all the members a chance to shine, he adores them. He's mentioned in past interviews that he wants to go on a trip with Infinite for vacay, he recalls being on a trip previously with them, and how it was so much fun. In GROW, he feared that he'd have to leave Infinite, and that terrified him. (And I mean, imagine Introvert-Myungsoo back in his school days, where he had little to no friends, and look where he is now. Surrounded by brothers who love him as much as he). 

     

    So that's my long-winded explanation of how I love Kim Myungsoo. For anyone that read till the end *hugs* thank you for reading, and I'd love to know how you grew to love Myungsoo!
