idid semin just confessed that this short from hyeongjun’s live was his calling to become an idol. when he saw that he was like “wahhh he’s so cute” “so this is what idols are”! and from that point he started learning more about idols.
he said even when he was a trainee whenever hyeongjun came to the practice room he would always like try to run into or like took his way around just to casually cross path with hyeongjun.
so cute 🥹
look he jumped 1 meter he split his legs he dragged himself on the floor he did all that for a challenge?! this is why other companies/idol groups are lining up sending him invitations to do challenge together GIRL
@SHJSHINE tbh as a queer kpop fan with baddd religious trauma i actually love religious themed stuff lol bcuz it feels relatable. like yasss show me my kpop boys experiencing religion in a quirky way that i can then put my own experiences onto, while not being directly affected by it
hyeongjun: before, i used to say things like “i hate my personality” you know. and honestly i still feel that way sometimes. but i realized that the more i kept saying that, it felt like i was hating myself way too much. and as that went on the word “sensitive” started to sound really negative to me. so instead of describing myself as someone sensitive with bad mood swings, i tried to reframe it as someone who can look at other people’s emotions and actions with that much delicate care and attentiveness.
because being sensitive means i feel situations, environments and even other people’s emotions so intensely, i end up synchronizing with them so my own feelings end up going back and forth so much. i guess that’s probably why i’d describe myself as sensitive.
but living this life, i’ve also come to realize that there are definitely people who just don’t feel things that way. to those people i might come across as just sensitive. but i know myself better than anyone so i thought wouldn’t “delicate/attentive” be a better way to express it than the word “sensitive”? and that’s why i’ve been naming it ‘delicate/attentive’ instead.
