last year during the fan meeting in rome i had a panic attack right in the middle of the autograph session because of the staff behavior they barely let me talk to joong and kept grabbing my hands to make me leave but joong was the sweetest person in the world and kept talking to me even after they had already pushed me away
he is always very attentive and gentle with fans he listened to everything i said and that kind of communication between a fan and an artist is actually very valuable
i felt very comfortable around joong and he has a very warm and friendly energy and i really love and appreciate that so much :(
So for me it’s his ability to work a room. I met Dunk at The Heartkillers Fanmeet in New York not long after I was introduced to JD for the first time. That event was a hot ass mess. Staff were unprofessional, yelling at us, rushing us (and the artists), and just super unorganized.
Because of that, you can visibly see the annoyance in Joong’s face and body language (and he tried his best to conceal it but an artist can only take so much when he sees his fans being mistreated). First was sick so Khaotung was worried about him and that’s where Dunk stepped up.
Dunk was the one who basically led the entire event. Even when the “translator” was sitting right there (not doing his job at all btw), Dunk stepped up and helped First, Khao, and Joong get their words across to us and kept us entertained for the entire duration of the event.
Also, during the hi-touch, at first staff said they can only do hi-fives to make things go faster cause again, rushing us. Dunk was the first in the line and after about five people, I saw Dunk’s brain literally rewire and he started shaking people’s hands to have a slightly longer moment with everyone and the other boys followed suit.
I love the way he stepped up and made sure we had a better experience than what we came in with. He truly loves his fans and after that, I always paid attention to how he works a room when he can tell things aren’t going smoothly.
This event is also how I found out he’s fluent in English lol
zo thanking joke for coming into his life. And then finally thanking him for being his boyfriend (my jaw dropped) while joke kept looking at his lips... AND THE KISS??? zo was hungry...
