[🫧] 260807 Hongjoong - ‘👋👋’, TOKTOQ pop live, p.2:
🐿 As for the SBS (Gayo Daejeon) spoiler… (laughs) yeah, that’s how it is. Actually, as all of you can probably feel, we feel it too… Now, with “BAD”… even when we go somewhere where there are members of the general public who don’t really know us, or fans of other artists who don’t really know us, we’ve reached a point where a lot of people know “BAD” now. So I think the blood of “BAD” might be flowing through us for a while (laughs). I think that’s how it’ll be.
🐿 Actually, I’ve been getting contacted a lot too, and a lot of people ask me, “How is it? How do you feel?” But somehow… it’s already been over a month, right? And actually, although I’m sure it’s different for each of the members, including me, for me, I don’t think I really feel it to the extent that our vision has changed significantly, or our way of thinking has changed, or our values have changed because of this. It’s simply something I’m very grateful for, and really, very… Anyway, actually, whenever I do interviews or things like that, ever since our debut, something that has always followed us was people talking a lot about things like our domestic recognition (in Korea)… Maybe it’s just to the extent of, “Perhaps we won’t have to get questions like that anymore?” (laughs) About that much? Actually, that’s what I’m grateful for. Because… whenever we were asked questions like that, I was okay with it, but I saw all along that ATINYs would always feel hurt by them. So it wasn’t actually that I disliked those questions. Rather, I felt a little sorry that an artist ATINYs like had to keep receiving questions like that…
🐿️ But actually, in a way, I think it happened because all of the members kept working hard, and on top of that, somehow… all the circumstances came together well. So I’m extremely grateful. I’m grateful, and… I think it’s still the same. What we’re looking toward… we were always looking only further upward anyway, so I think that’s still the same. That part is. And it’s not only about the success of “BAD” this time. I think this is really fascinating too. Originally, I’m someone who feels a little embarrassed and awkward even saying things like, “Something did well,” or “Something became famous,” because that in itself is subjective… But honestly, just judging by how it feels right now… I think it would be difficult to find someone on social media who hasn’t seen Sanie’s short-form clip (reels, tiktok, shorts), and because of that, it seems like everyone has listened to “BAD” itself at least once now. So even being able to comfortably talk about something like this itself feels fascinating. I’m grateful.
ILLIT goes VIRAL again in Japan as everyone is praising the insane camera work during their “It's Me” performance on NHK Venue 101 yesterday.

Whoever casted Eric to play Avatar Aang... let's leave it to a voice actor instead next time please. Genuinely can't focus on the art fully with his performance. To the point that I'm making this tweet.
Colman Domingo is set to co-write a live action film about Princess Tiana from ‘PRINCESS AND THE FROG’ for Disney alongside Robert O’Hara.
It will be a spin-off as opposed to an adaptation.

I didn't know Sakura couldn't speak english 😭 so HYBE's plan was going to toss a 15yr old child into the global stage with a line of english speakers and... hope?
⛰️ I just… I just like working hard. Whatever it is. You only get one life, right? So I just want to work hard without any regrets. Because I don’t think I’d be happy if I were loved without working hard. Then this time, after consistently working hard for 8 years, I received love, and only then, when I felt it myself, I realized, “Woah, I’m really being loved right now.” So I’m grateful that it turned out that way. If I hadn’t worked hard and had just gotten by on talent, and if I had just gotten lucky, I don’t think I would’ve been that happy. So I’m just going to keep doing what I’ve been doing and keep working hard consistently. You all recognize it/notice it (my efforts), actually - so that’s what I’m grateful for. It’s also important that I acknowledge my own efforts, but I’m really grateful when other people acknowledge my efforts too. And the sense of fulfillment I get from that is really big too. So I’ll keep working hard.
