i think there is something poetic about wooyoung going viral for his diabolical arch one day then two days later he's going viral again for being leftyoung
this is the definition of 100% pure fan love and zero promo. his company is doing literally nothing to push his project and every single one of these streams come from his dedicated fanbase, he'd be such a powerful soloist
The “green flash” is a rare optical phenomenon seen above the horizon right at sunrise or sunset, and it only lasts for about 1–2 seconds. Among its symbolic meanings, it’s said to represent emotional clarity, profound romantic luck, and in Pirates+

what’s so beautiful about seonghwa being called mom by the younger members to me is that it’s 100% positive like it’s fully out of respect and affection- not just for seonghwa himself but mothers in general. seeing seonghwa validate that by embracing it is almost healing in a way
the quotes... yall, in this case AI doesn't refer to gen AI (which are 2 different things) but to a robotic being that comes to life (this is nothing new in movies) i thought it was obvious lol. also, you can tell from the movie’s plot and title that all this is a criticism
[260507] Hallucination GV #hongjoong
🐿 Hello, this is ATEEZ’s Hongjoong, who participated as the music director for this Hallucination project.
Actually, while working on the film, I watched it many times. In my case, when I work on music, I really empathize a lot with the power that music gives when watching a movie in the theater. That’s why I put a lot of effort into carefully constructing detailed sounds.
As the director and the actors have mentioned, the theme of emotions in AI and the boundary between AI and humans… When I first received the synopsis, I thought about it a lot. So I composed two main theme songs, and then worked on the rest of the tracks that could become the soundtrack.
For the main theme songs, I started with the idea of writing one song from Cole’s perspective and another from Ralphie’s perspective, then properly distributing them between the opening and ending songs. While working on it and continuously watching the footage, at some point I felt like Cole was starting to develop emotions, and Ralphie sometimes felt more like an AI. I tried hard to maintain that delicate boundary while composing.
That’s why I used sounds that lean more toward synthesizers rather than realistic sounds to create a strong AI atmosphere.
Nova in Latin means "new".
In astronomy, a Nova is an explosion that occurs on the surface of a white dwarf. The white dwarf pulls hydrogen gas from a nearby companion star. The layer of gas builds up on the surface of the white dwarf, heats up, and ignites nuclear fusion, leading to a runaway explosion that causes temporary, intense increase in brightness.
A Nova is on average 200,000 times brighter than the sun.
—
Mingi 'heating up', pushing past limits, his energy and aura spreading and becoming brighter. Every aspect of his being, his art, his music growing larger ;
Him exploding into something so dazzling, so blazing that it gets harder and harder not to notice him ;
Him evolving into something new. Better, brighter, a Mingi that is larger than life.
