~~SHINee/Kpop blog~~Hello! My name is Amanda, my nickname is Mandu (Korean for Dumpling), and I see myself as a big sister or Aunt in the SHINee fandom b/c I'm /old/ I've been a fan for over 7 years. Please feel free to contact me or submit. ~Unnie Mandu~
For the kpop questions thing: 1, 15, 16 and 30. :P
Heyyy! Thank you for the ask!
1 and 30 were already answered, so I’ll do 15 and 16 ^^
15. What aspects of kpop make you cringe/feel secondhand embarrassment?
~~~~~~~~~ Oof, that’s got to be like aegyo and fake cute things. I really hate it. If the boys or girls /like/ to play around, that’s one thing. But it seems almost mandated in interviews. I also hate invasive questioning by talkshows. And then there’s fans who behave poorly.
16. Which concepts do you love?
~~~~~~~~~ I’m a slut for dark concepts, or vintage. Cute/bubblegum style has it’s place, and it’s great. But like... dark concepts are always so deep and thought out. And then throwbacks to vintage style both musically and fashion-wise are sooo awesome (See SHINee’s 1of1, the zoot suits and the packaging being a FREAKING CASSETTE TAPE, also Lady by Yubin)
1. Which group have you thought about stanning, but never seem to get around to it?
~~~~~~ Right now, there’s quite a few... I’m ashamed to admit. I think the top ones right now are Ateez, Got7, MonstaX, and NCT.
30. Thought on fanfiction/AUs/etc?
~~~~~~ It’s a bit of a controversial topic. They’re real people, so it’s a bit different to put them in fanfictions. But... I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t read them! I’m okay with it, but I think it’s important to think of them as characterizations.
