Omg 😭 X finally gave me my old account back.
Honestly, it still doesn’t feel real because I had already started trying to accept losing it and stopped expecting it to ever come back. After sending around 4 appeals and explaining that my iPad froze and I accidentally tapped repeatedly — which probably made X think I was a bot — my account got restricted on 2026/04/08.
I couldn’t post, repost, or even like anything. My posts, reposts, followers, and following all became 0. The only thing I could still do was watch my feed while the system seemed stuck waiting to fully suspend the account.
The hardest part was slowly watching my posts disappear one by one while I tried to save them before they were gone. This account has always felt like a diary to me — a place where I kept all the little moments and memories of CORTIS and James that made me happy ❤️
Honestly, I almost wanted to quit X completely because I was so heartbroken. But because I still wanted to follow CORTIS and James, I created a new account with a similar name and the same profile picture.
And there’s one more thing I really want to say.
I never expected to meet genuinely kind people on X, but I did. I want to thank Jam @swagonuv 🥹 During the days my account disappeared, Jam — someone I’ve never met and only interacted with through comments before — DM’d me to ask if I was okay and whether my account still existed. They also kept sending me appeal examples and helping me write requests to send to X.
I could truly feel the care and sincerity, and I’m honestly so grateful.
Thank you to everyone who read this far. I just really wanted to share how happy I am to have this account back again.
To many people it may look like just an account, but to me, it’s a diary full of memories and happiness ❤️
STUDIO VER:
🐢 This is our BIGHIT MUSIC building, where we practice and work on music every day. The white cyclorama studio, where we shot our album photos, is a place we often go to whenever we need to film something inside the company. We also filmed our first EP’s dance practice video here.
It was my first time visiting this studio back then, and it was also the first time we performed choreography outside of our underground practice room. Actually, we didn't originally film that video to release it; we just wanted to get used to the camera, so we were practicing and filming at the same time. But the staff at the company saw the video and said they liked the vibe, so somehow we ended up releasing it.
For this album photo shoot, we captured the studio's minimalist feel and took very natural photos, and it seems all the members are satisfied with them. It was our first time visiting this studio, and also our very first time dancing somewhere else than the basement practice room. This dance practice video wasn’t intended to be released first. We were just filming while practicing to become more camera friendly. But our staff loved the vibe of the footage and that’s how we ended up releasing it.
For this album shoot, we tried to lean into the minimal vibe of the studio and kept everything natural, and I think the members are all very happy with how the photos turned out.
