You’ve got a retired general organizing dinner parties to steer votes, a Chinese born citizen cultivating relationships across three political parties over six years to get Beijing friendly names onto candidate lists, fake employment documents to smuggle political operatives onto the island, subsidized travel packages to buy voter loyalty and illegal betting markets designed to manipulate public sentiment
jongho thought his mic wasn’t working, so he went “Ahah” but his voice ended up echoing throug the entire venue 😭 and then he started scolding mingi for not telling him his mic was working 😭😭😭😭😭
🐻 mingi hyung and i were having a couple of drinks. at that time, mingi hyung got drunk and then began to say "jongho you know? out of all the members i love you the most" and he was like trying to hug me. this isn't even the big part of it, he released every emotion he had +
