shownu looks so perfect in the magazine!! but you only need to download the app and subscribe to see the section in which was posted, there's no need to pay anything.. I just wanted to let you know!
Wait but wasnt signing up on fancafe like really complicated?
Its been a while since ive seen posts abt it but I remember ages ago i kep seeing like long posts doing detailed tutorials on how to do it and i think the app is only on korean? Also didnt u need to have korean phone to sign up?
But also if its free why didnt they just post it on twt... that makes no sense....
#i could be wrong abt all of this i never actually tried to get into fancafe#ill get my fc content thru twt until further notice kdjdjd#but its just so weird how there are literally 3 different apps that they use to post their content and some stuff are exclusive to just one#and one of them is a bigger glitch than tumblr app is and its PAID (universe app)#anyway! yeah he’s gorgeous 😔😔😔#but considering thy called this a ‘magazine’ i was expecting like... maybe a small interview? some q&a? a short message? idk so#something*#but its just 5-6 photos? sure they’re really good photos but thats it?#thats more like a brochure jdjdjdjd#ask#anon

IU replying to herself:
I should leave this here!! (insert selca from Woori Bank Festival)
Uaena: I saved a lot of Jieun unnie photos today, so my memory is full now ㅠㅠ I should delete a few photos. Should I delete my photos or Jieun unnie’s photos? 🙄
IU: Please delete my photos. New photos will come soon.
Uaena: As 15 years have passed, it’s like the time of being an old fans is being forgotten. It feels weird. But that also means how amazing the present IU is now. Congratulations for your 15th year. ^^
IU: No way … Reuters-nim (*uaena’s nickname on fancafe) is a legend..
Uaena: Do you think chocolate conch bread is a savory bread? These days I live my live enjoying this chocolate conch read. Sorry my blood vessels..
IU: Chocolate conch bread can’t be considered as savory bread at any standard. It’s a sweet bread.
Uaena: It’s less than a week now. Please say something to Uaena who are waiting for the fan concert!!!
IU: You can’t like fan concert better than concert!!
Uaena: Is there any tips for sleeping well regularly?
IU: Stay awake and don’t sleep for 3 days..?
Uaena: Unnie!! Did you sleep well? I’m going to work now. Since today is our day, although you are busy, I hope you become the happiest person today🫶
IU: Fighting for today!!!!!🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥❤️
Uaena: Unnie, I love you🥲🩵 Have you had your breakfast? Please have a good day today🩵
IU: I ate Gimbab* .. but it’s a carrot kimbab without ham.. Wow, it crossed the line..

IU: The sun keeps appearing and disappearing🥲 Stay still!!ㅠㅠ
Uaena: Unnie, I bought the book ‘The Brothers Karamozov’ intending to read it, but starting from their names, it’s very difficult and I’m finding it hard to immerse myself in it.. Do you have a method to read it more easily?
IU: Only the names of the characters in Karamozov are difficult, the content is really interesting.
Uaena: I’m curious whether unnie has eaten tanghulu!!!!! (TL note: Northern Chinese snack of rock sugar-coated fruits) If you have, do you like it?

In the years of their careers, NEON NIGHTS has built up a repository of unreleased songs, unarchived performances, and other lost media. The following are a few of the most popular examples.
PRE-ZENITH ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC VIDEOS (2016-2017). It is a well-known fact that the band had a past with a few songs released prior to Zenith Entertainment, namely their debut song YOU and follow-up single ASPHALT. While the songs are still available on streaming services, their music videos have been wiped from all official channels. It is rumored that Hwajung and her brother, former member Sungjae, both have their own copies of all of their early work. Neither of them have ever confirmed or denied the rumors.
INCHEON PENTAPORT ROCK FESTIVAL PERFORMANCE (2018). The performance that started it all, given that it led directly to their signing with Zenith Entertainment. Their set list was short and consisted mostly of pop punk covers, though they did manage to slide their own two songs in. As they were unpopular at the time, the recordings of their performance have been lost to time.
PRE-DEBUT VARIETY SHOW (2019). Prior to their debut in Japan, the band filmed a variety show focused on the production of their album. A teaser for the show was released officially on their social media, but the rest of the show never followed. It was instead edited down into a half-hour documentary released with the deluxe version of the album. Qiuyun has been the most forward when asked about it, saying it “didn’t turn out as planned” and it’s “really regretful that it had to be that way.”
DEMOS, DEMOS, AND MORE DEMOS (2020). Their second Japanese EP, ALIGHT, released in three editions: a typical CD and booklet only offering, a deluxe edition with further behind-the-scenes content, and a collector’s edition with an extra CD full of demo versions of most of their discography thus far. The collector’s edition sold horribly, as it was for sale only in Japan for a short period of time. None of the demos were ever released digitally, and are generally known only the most dedicated of fans.
POP ROCK ALBUM (2021). Before Neon Nights’ official Korean debut, they performed at many small clubs and bars around Seoul. In addition to covering a number of other popular rock songs—fan favorites include Paramore’s “Misery Business,” Scandal’s “Shunkan Sentimental,” and Halestorm’s “Love Bites (So Do I)”—they also teased their own music. The most notable of these is the song “BAD GIRLFRIEND,” which was officially teased as a single on their Instagram before being quickly deleted. A studio version of the song was leaked shortly after their debut. It is highly suspected that the song and album were both of Eunbyul’s creation, but forgone in favor of Hwajung’s EP that aligned more closely with their Japanese discography.
SECOND HALF OF DEBUT PROMOTIONS (2021). Their debut title track, “FLY AWAY,” was meant to be promoted for four weeks. They had the shows booked. They had the schedules posted on their fancafe. In the first two weeks, everything went well. In the second two weeks, everything fell apart and nothing that was planned was ever released. It is presumed that they took the time to record everything, and the lack of official releases came from factors outside of their control. The band is surprisingly mum about the issue. They simply disappeared after their debut and reappeared months later.
LIVE-STREAMED PRACTICES (2020-2022). In attempt to market the band to young, always online kpop fans or create some sort of viral moment, Neon Nights live-streamed at least one band practice a week. This did not achieve of either of their goals, but rather provided the fuel for Twitter speculation along the lines of “why do hwajung and yumi always look at eden like she killed their dog 😭😭” and YouTube compilations of “eunbyul playing qiuyun’s parts for fifteen minutes straight.” The practice lived and died with Vlive, and the majority of the recordings in their entirety have been lost.
NEW ISLAND OF UTOPIA DELETED TRACKS (2022). The band’s first full-length Korean album, NEW ISLAND OF UTOPIA, contains nine tracks. According to an Instagram live hosted by Hwajung, the album was originally supposed to have twelve tracks. She even went as far as to play bits and pieces of the deleted tracks. The one that drew the most attention was "ILLUSION," though the general consensus is that it was better to keep that one in the drafts.
ACOUSTIC REPACKAGE (2022). Hwajung and Eunbyul made no secret of the fact that they and their management wanted to milk New Island of Utopia for all its worth. This meant that in addition to the album’s promotions and its four versions, they were also planning on releasing a repackage with acoustic versions of a few of their songs. While the songs have all been performed live and unofficially released in YouTube videos, there appears to be no official studio recordings of any of the songs.
I KNOW I LOVE YOU — NEON NIGHTS VER (2023). The controversial title track of their most recent Korean release features Fable’s Andrew and Mingeun, an arrangement none of them seem to be very happy with. Eden, most notably, has voiced her disapproval of her lack of lines. She also revealed that a version of the song without the features does exist, but will probably never be officially released, for the simple and succinct reason that “Taein-nim said no.”

moonjongyeup instagram post 230410
"Hello, this is Moon Jong-up.
I want to first begin by saying just how deeply gratefull am to all the fans and your sincere concern.
The main reason I decided to do the project with Lionheart was because I thought it was the best choice had at the time to better reach out to fans in diverse ways.
I was told about various activities such as albums, music videos, YouTube and video content, live showcases, online fan meetings, CDs and posters, and many more. Since I didn't have an agency at the time, I thought I would be able to show and provide various events for fans through this project - which I was not able to do on my own.
As the specifics of the contract were not finalized at all and the negotiations had not been proceeded, I received some advice from experts regarding this matter and I learned that the discussed content could be legally problematic. So, as a result of listening to Lionheart's side today, we have decided not to proceed with anything related in the contract.
We plan to finally carry out the various activities mentioned above and I hope to deliver them with more freedom and much better quality. Additionally, we are in the process of transferring the fan site management to my new agency with aims to it being fully operational as soon as possible.
I was surprised by how so many people asked for my bank account and I am truly touched by all your sincere concern. I will do my absolute best to work harder and repay your love and support. I promise to deliver many activities that you'd like to see in the coming future and all that I ask is for your continued love and support."
So we got a response from jongup, degarding the situation thats good!! But according to screenshots from jongups moonw4lk fancafe L*onheart....
Fuck L*onheart. From the bottom of my heart. I loathe and detest you and your shady ass company

Jikook: Japan Fancafe Magazine Vol 7 Photos and Making Of
Tracking down Japanese content is so hard. This post is for @ejassy though! Lol
Who asked where this moment is from. They were so cute that day. The way they picked for each other and still ended up on the same team. How very Destiny of them 🥰 Making Of film here where you can see the moment in full and I found it with eng subs
youtube
Which of course gave us our namkookmin subunit photos
All 100+ photos can be found here
This one comes from "part 1" of the making film, which I can't find. But it's just JK helping Jimin with his earring.
They are so incredibly cute. Very touchy and flirty during this day too! This whole shoot was amazing!

I said a while ago that I was"collecting" random Jimin content to leave here once he stopped his activities. Some of that content, were actually some of the letters he used to write on fancafe. I thought about them after face was released, and I've read them a couple of times these past months.
I don't remember how many there were in total, there were definitely more messages like these, but it's what I could find when I searched on twitter.
Now, to end this post on a scrumptious note:

He explained in the episode of the jacket shoot, that after releasing Mono that’s black and white, Indigo is the color that express himself (he also mentions it in the interview of Proof collector edition (src)). He adds brown too, with natural and warm shades.
The studio Sparks Edition was in charge of the album design.
Some people also noticed that in Korean, indigo is written 남색, which can be interpreted as an acronym for 남준의 색깔, meaning Namjoon’s colors (cr.).
RM posted several stories on Instagram before the release, including a picture of Oregon blue, a pigment considered as the bluest blue (src).

alright, I gotta know. please explain to me all the ways cube has tried to ruin pentagon. I don't want to live ignorantly, thinking they're just another incompetent company (bc honestly find me a GOOD entertainment agency that treats all their artists fairly, protects them, promotes them regularly, loves them and feeds them 3 square meals a day. doesn't exist.)
you're very right, there's no company like that, and it's a shame even to this day.
and, well, let's see. i'm a bit tired so i'm going with things off the top of my head. i feel like the company has just... very blatantly threatened them different times behind the scenes. especially judging by some words the members have shared. it's always felt like they kind of made pentagon feel like THEY were lacking. like THEY needed to do something to prove themselves. it's sad because the boys have been trying so hard all these years but they can only do so much with such a shitty promotion. first instance i can think of is when the demo eps were released. it all felt rushed (they were released too close to each other) and it was such a pity because demo_01 was the ep that gave them their self-produced title. i don't even know what the company was trying to do, people barely had the time to digest those songs that we got another ep. so like
1) their almost non-existent or badly handed promotion. i swear they just don't seem to know how to cherish and properly promote such a gem group like pentagon. it's so bad.
2) i feel like, over time, the opportunities to show what they're capable of that they were given were just not the right ones. sure, we got some nice content but cube literally do nothing to highlight their entire vocal line. everything that the public could perceive was because of their stage presence. every new fan that got into them, it was thanks to the group. the success and the appreciation of songs, it was thanks to their authenticity while making music. i genuinely believe the group owns maybe 20% (and i'm being kind here) of their success to that agency. being so vocally based they don't have much singing content people can go through, except for magazineho and those hardly updated cover playlists. they could give changgu the space to do covers but do they? no. i think some time in the past he implied that he wanted to upload more songs but that he wasn't allowed to. to be honest i think the company also has favoritisms towards certain members, but it may be just me. and i don't like how they may be pitted against one another (see: pentagon maker) when they love each other so much.
3) shine. before it got released ptg were most likely told that the song had to do well, otherwise they would've been disbanded. hui said shine was a blessing, the reason why pentagon could survive. it got progressively worse with idle debuting (and it's funny how their fans say that ptg are cube's favorites *giggles in i want to be that delusional*)
4) when the summer 2018 mess happened, their fancafe was a mess. kpop fans were spamming the general board with anything and everything. the company knew it and still kept it open for a good 3 to 4+ months. i remember this because they suddenly changed the rules, locked this and that, and i got demoted as well. many of us got demoted for doing nothing. their disorganization never fails to amaze me. so, anyways, there is no way cube didn't know about the rumors that were being made up about them. hell, they even used hui as the scapegoat. shinwon, jinho and hongseok were heavily targeted and the company just did nothing. they were bullied into not leaving the dorms. no lawsuit, no notice, no protection. had a shit ton of schedules to attend and to deal with.
5) all the hiatuses they put yanan through. and for what? yanan could understandbly leave for health reasons but at times it's felt like they were just punishing the guy for doing so. one time it was a miscommunication between the labels, but keeping him away for months to years? like are we serious? there are people who have never seen him with pentagon, and people who got to see him with them after more than a year. the formation changes are so bad too. people are never gonna memorize who's who if the company decides to 'oh yea you go to japan for three months bye' or 'you're staying in china for a year and no one will get an official notice cause we don't care' approximately every two months.
6) rtk. what the hell was that. i hate when ptg have anything to do with mnet to begin with. they were put on this show that just sucked the life out of them, where mnet just used them for clickbait and very obviously rigged it although it was clear they should've won. jinho had to enlist in a hurry, hui was only months away from enlisting and spent sleepless nights arranging songs for like three different projects. they were completely out of it. shinwon even said that at some point hyunggu was so exhausted and mentally worn out that it was impossible for them to talk to him. they even said they were in and out of the hospital because of body pains. still, the company kept them going until the end, even through pain and tears.
7) shall i add bad budgeting. like seriously i'd like to speak to a nevie and understand why they think ptg gets their group's money. have they seen some of ptg's packaging and some of the props for their photoshoots or mvs? my thumbs up album is literally one step away from falling apart because the material is just not good.
please know i don't like talking of such things as i don't want to sound like i am victimizing them. ptg are fun, charismatic, bright, cheerful, full-of-love people. they never ever complain and that's what stings. i'm just so done with the bad things they've had to endure. the boys have always acted like it's sunshine and rainbows and we've all have tried hard to see the good things in everything. we do even nowadays, but there's still a dark side to it.
i'm sure there must have been other instances of ptg being told that they could be disbanded if said thing doesn't sell well (which btw is ridiculous because pentagon have been outselling themselves every comeback). shall i remember anything i'll say it later on, i think i talked a lot for now, i'm so sorry. all i can do is hope that 2023 is REALLY their breakthrough year because i cannot see them in pain anymore. it just doesn't feel fair and i want them to be happy.

💜 Adorable ASTRO way back 2016. They were all such talented cuties whose ages have gone up, but the most beautiful is that they are humble and polite boys which haven't changed since then and now
