Back from the dead for more kpop opinions no one asked for but I have to share: Le Sserafim at Coachella edition:

You would think the way people online were talking about this set, the girlies went on stage and BOMBED. I was prepared to watch the worst live set I’ve ever seen. INSTEAD. It was so fun?????? Like incredibly undeniably extremely super fucking FUN!!!!!!!!!! I literally can’t believe the shit yall say on dolly parton’s internet about this group.

Firstly. Since the SECOND I got into kpop all I have seen is endless debate on the overuse of lip syncing and vocal smoothing and loud backtracks etc etc etc and I have always always always been on the side, as someone who has seen quite literally hundreds of live sets, of LIVE. VOCALS. I want to hear breathing I want to hear cracks I want to hear imperfections I want to hear actual singing from a real live person standing on stage. Were their vocals perfect? Obviously not. Were they still giving it their all, dancing at full energy, and putting on an insanely fun show???? YEAH GIRL. Not one person on planet earth bar beyonce can dance at that level and give absolutely flawless vocals and for the energy they were expending the vocals still sounded fine and most importantly, conveyed the emotion of the set they were going for. It was high energy! It was hot and fun! It was a party! Of course they’re going to yell and scream and hype up the crowd and run around, THANK GOD THEY DID.

Secondly, if I had watched it and the crowd hated it and the energy was bad and everything was awkward and weird that’d be one thing. But the ENTIRE time everyone in the crowd was losing their minds, screaming the girls’ names, and SINGING ALONG!!!!!!!! The energy was so good and fun and you could tell everyone there was having a blast which in my opinion is the absolute 100% nonnegotiable most important part of a live set.

Thirdly, I’ve watched all of their encores, other live stages by them, and I feel like I know what they sound like live in general and this was actually truly leagues better than they’ve been in the past and that wasn’t because their vocals were worlds better, they were definitely improved but not by like A TON. what actually made this their best performance I’ve ever seen was how fucking fun the entire set was and how you could tell what they practiced was their actual stage presence and the show they put on and it PAID OFF!!!!!!!!!! The entire thing was just so enjoyable to watch and I truly didn’t want it to end because you could tell they were having so much fun and really working the crowd.

My favorite parts were eve psyche in English, the bit about going out for a drink but then realizing eunchae and kazhua are underage, the live band, THE NEW SONG!!!!!! WHERE THE HECK IS SAKI!!!!!! and of course “Coachella shake some fucking ass”

In conclusion, you guys don’t go to enough live shows, don’t know anything about what makes a performance good, love to be miserable, and hate having fun. I on the other hand, who love to have fun, love talented young ladies putting on a great show, and love live music for all its flaws and imperfections, had an absolute blast watching this set.

it’s been Over a Billion Two Hundred Trillion years but hi I’m here to say

I would could and will impregnate min yoongi so help me god

since I’m blasted and hashtag online i also hve to say that after almost 3 years IVE has finally put out a song I don’t like and i hate it so much I feel so betrayed

drunk and I miss Yoongi

im not here but BY GOD do i fucking miss bts

i love to come here once every 10 years and post something no one cares about and then disappearing again BUT. this year ive allowed myself to read a total of three (3) WIPs and all three (3) of them are currently suspended indefinitely hfkfhfkehdkehfkrhkfkdk

im aware this is a HARD #/nobodycares BUT. ive had drama by aespa on a loop all day and finally was like “the transitional loop at the end of the song is almost TOO smooth and doesn’t actually make sense with how I know the song ends from having watched the music video too many times…” turns out that on spotify when you change it from looping to playing it only once it CHANGES THE LENGTH OF THE SONG and takes out the entire ending and just automatically loops it back to the start of the song seamlessly and my mind is BLOWN and i think all songs ever invented should do this bc holy shit

not to show up after literal weeks of being mia but I need need need to document this because HOLY SHIT

im collecting these

john cameron mitchell referring to kibum “my buddy” and saying he should also play hedwig on his ig omg 😳

ahhhhh! ok OK! i'm screaming at the full caption though!!

i need to unpack this! first of all, the fact that he's talking about the character in the netflix show, going through enlistemnt as a gay man, and all he endured, and saying it's a groundbreaking korean queer story, AND THEN imediately mentions his buddy (😭💕 successful fan kim kibum!) key, and how he also had to do his service too (implying that he is another queer man who may have endured a similar experience as the character???)

and then says he should play hedwig!! (john, this is what i have been SAYING.)

anyway, this kinda made me emotional! it's so sweet, and kibum has been a huge fan of hedwig, and john for ages, so this just makes me so happy for him 💖

KEY - Good & Great MV
