Yessss like I mainly listened to the holy Trinity (fob, mcr, panic!) ahakaksks so I just wanted to ask but I did venture into ptv, bmth type genre sometimes when I was especially emo 😂 14yr old me would’ve NEVER guessed kpop me was going to be a thing but it so much fun!! I wish I would not have shrugged it off when my friends first tried to introduce it to me years ago but I was too emo 😔🤘
OMG I FORGOT MCR OMG 😭😭😭😭 dude i remember being so obsessed with helena, they were the first band out of the big 3 that i fell for actually. but all time low were the ones that dragged me into my emo phase back in 2008 🥲 before that i casually listened to rock/metal bc my dad is metal so i grew up with that music lol
lmao sameee, the emo in me was stronger 😔✊🏻 but it was perfect timing for me tho bc i started listening to more pop/indie/soft music in 2016 and then in 2017 i fell down the kpop hole lmao so it's all good.
#i did like b.a.p tho since their debut bc one of my school besties has been into kpop since like forever#and i was the one to go with her to the library to watch kpop comebacks with her when we were in school hours KDÑSKS#so yeah i had listened to shinee super junior and all those. but b.a.p were just. my boys#ask

This has been bothering me forever but I usually forget about it when I'm reading your story but in the ceo au is B.A.P pronounced bap(like tap) or is it spelt out like Bee Ay Pee
Love ur fics, I've read all of them
-🦉
Phonetically BEE AY PEEEEE, I can’t remember how I wrote it in but I’ll double check and see if I can make it any clearer 🤣 bap would be the funniest company name.
Thank you for reading my stuff lovely 💜

Hey! Can you share your thoughts on Suga as an artist and a performer? This ask is inspired by all those gifs btw.
hi!! i have NOT forgotten about this ask, i promise. i was meant to answer this, like, a week ago, and then i got off track because my sister sent me a tweet and what can i say, i have the attention span and object permanence of a very small dog. sometimes. it HAPPENS. but i have not forgotten and that is why i am going to finally answer this.
under the cut because this is extremely long.
so, the thing is, it's been forever really since i've watched any bts live performances, they have just become so grating to me that i could simply NOT bear it, like. i have to love myself a little too, and i cannot deal with the rapid decline of their already subpar vocal standard, and the blatant disregard of the rap line's actual function. which is, you know. to rap. but all of this aside, i did sit down to relive the glory days of monster performances and, especially, rap line and yoongi solo performances.
which is why we will start this thing with my thoughts on yoongi as a performer. i even got out my hard drive with the bts concerts for this, which i haven't looked at in ages EITHER. *blows off the dust*
my favorite live performances he's done are: trivia: seesaw, outro: tear, cypher pt. 4, intro: never mind, boy with luv, and mic drop. i think? in that order. it's really been forever. honorable mention to interlude: shadow and black swan. black swan yoongi is something else and he shines in that song for reasons i will be getting into further down. it's kind of like the thesis of yoongi as a performer. but more to that later.
yoongi as a performer is very. hm. how do we get into this? this could (a/n: and will be!) be an endlessly long post. so, the main takeaway that i get whenever i watch yoongi is that he isn't a natural on stage. i think, whatever he does up there is hardly-fought-for and hardly-earned. yoongi is the kind of idol type that should not be an idol. that could not be suited less to be on an idol stage but he bodies it, because the yoongi who decided to become an idol is a product of his time and circumstance. the yoongi who became an idol is the kind of guy we saw in the late aughts and early 10s. the yoongi who is an idol can be traced back to a certain idol type that was super popular in the first and second generation of kpop, that only made it possible for a guy like yoongi to debut in the first place. you can draw a direct line from g-dragon, beast's junhyung, b.a.p's yongguk, block b's zico, and 2pm's taecyeon, to yoongi.
i have mentioned it before but pretty much everything bighit did with yoongi up until, like, 2016 (and especially during you never walk alone and the most beautiful moment in life) is quintessentially modeled after beast's junhyung. for good reason and unsurprisingly; beast was pretty much the biggest kpop group that existed at one point. yoongi and junhyung are the same type, visually and artistically, down to their similar vocal types. it's so obvious when you know what you're looking for. i had that epiphany when i was watching beast's 12:30 and good luck mv's.
anyways. yoongi is an introvert, above all, and you can tell when he performs. he will never know the sort of ease that hoseok possesses on stage, for example. when yoongi performs, he does not project his energy outwards. he is not a charisma bomb like hoseok or jimin, but he has a certain draw that makes you want to know more, look closer, keep your eyes on him at all times. he has a very commanding stage presence and especially up until 2018, there was a lot of anger and fury beating beneath yoongi's live performances. he mellowed out significantly for songs like boy with luv or dna, but if you watch him perform tear or seesaw or idol, you notice there is a certain sort of desperation that clings to him. that certain desperation wrote interlude: shadow, by the way. and i think he never let go of that feeling until he released that song (and black swan). everything had to be so immediate for yoongi when he performed. the energy he did project had no goal and was not aimed at anyone or anything; it just burst out of him. it's the kind of thing that drove him from the underground rap scene to the stage of wembley stadium.
that makes yoongi not the most likable performer in the world because he does not perform for anyone. when he is on stage, it is not for the crowd, it is for himself. i feel like yoongi spent the majority of his life as an idol proving something to the world at large, and to himself. to that kid that never thought he would make it there, but had all the swagger and arrogance to do whatever it took. (which is how we got idol yoongi)
something, something, this is why it all went down the drain after dynamite.
he shines in rap songs, unsurprisingly. yoongi is a passable, capable dancer, an okay singer if in his own range, but a very, very talented rapper. and his affinity for double time raps is driven by the desperation and fury i mentioned, i think, all the words he had to say had to get out somehow, no matter at what cost, and sometimes that meant squeezing them between the beats, the metronome. he is not just a 'fast talker'. in my opinion, that does a great disservice to his skillset. he is pretty good at what he does, actually. he is the most skilled rapper in bts, and bts has the second best rapline in the industry.
he is prone to arrogance, i know i already said that, and that makes him come across as plain unlikable very easily and has made him fuck up more than once. as a performer and as a human. it is not his best trait, but it works in his favor on songs like cypher pt. 4, idol, and blood, sweat and tears. it offers his rap an edge that neither hoseok nor namjoon can sell as well as he does. this is the classic idol rapper blueprint that has gone lost among the sauce of most 3rd and almost all 4th gen. we do not have performers like this anymore, because an idol has to be likable, needs to sell you a product, needs to be your potential love interest, etcetera.
yoongi as a performer: introverted, skillful, arrogant, commanding, sharp, desperate, furious, melancholic, occasionally gentle and sweet.
now, yoongi as an artist. well, that's a different beast, but not entirely. yoongi as an artist is in a way just another side of yoongi as a performer, but someone who allows us to delve deeper into who he is and what he wants to be. what he wants the public to perceive him as. which is paradox because yoongi as a songwriter and producer affords him to dig deep and say things that yoongi the idol, the performer, would never allow to be seen or heard. it's like a song allows him to confess things. and whatever is the result, well, it will be judged but not in real time. not directly out of his mouth. this is how we got the last, seesaw, his tear verse, and black swan. like, it is crazy to me that song he hasn't even written is so accurately a reflection of who he is as an artist. (the connection is dionysus -> black swan -> suga's interlude and sprinkled among that are first love, interlude: shadow and intro: never mind)
"born as an idol, reborn as an artist" led to "oh, that would be my first death i been always so afraid of," and ended at "honestly, it’s different from the future I hoped for, but that doesn’t matter, now it’s the matter of survival — however it is."
yoongi is cocky as a performer and he had no qualms of threading those parts of himself into his work, but i think what would truly kill him, and is partly why this recent development of bts is so hysterical to me, is if he would have to let go of the part of him that creates art. if yoongi would never be allowed to touch a pen or a piano, i think that would kill him. he lives and dies for this shit, and it makes up a lot of who he is as a person, too. it is no surprise that suga's interlude and black swan were released at pretty much the same time.
yoongi constantly lives with the success he has achieved and the dreams he has realized, and the dread that comes from how all of this has happened and none of it has turned out the way he had hoped for. a lot of his work is trying to come to terms with this super stardom and who exists beneath. and what happens when those dreams turn to nightmares. and how in the end, it doesn't matter, because he does it for the art. how much it pains him that he loves the success. what loving that success has done to him. the rot it infests you with, that you cannot help but crave. that kind of paralyzing fear it breathes into you.
on another note, the only reason why the most beautiful moment in life worked so well is because it was built around yoongi in so many ways. that entire narrative rises and fallswith him. he just, kind of, internalized and owned that. like, he is that manic pixie dream boy. if you are dead at the end of the story, you are dead at the beginning of it. it's so crazy! if i think about it for longer, i really do go crazy. yoongi's desperation, fury, tenderness. it all lives in that narrative. man.
i feel like i am just rambling at this point but yoongi as an artist is a safe space, a place for him to unburden himself, to do what he loves the most with no restraints, to practically stage an exorcism of a cripplingly introverted performer. yoongi as an artist allows him to speak his innermost thoughts. he is meticulous, sensitive, attentive. he has a great ear, a vision for what he wants to make, and a very definite style depending on the genre he produces for. his style reminds me a lot of the songs junhyung produced for beast (not a coincidence). so, here we are once again! full circle.
anyways. i guess that's it! i hope that answer was even just a little satisfying and i feel like i didn't even say half of what i wanted to, but this is so long already. thank you and have a good day!

Can I ask why you love hobi specifically? Was he always your bias?
Of course you may ask! I'm honestly not sure if Hobi was my original bias. I got into BTS in 2015 or 2016, when I was either a first or second year in college. I was just introduced to Kpop as a whole and started to get into a bunch of different groups like SHINee, EXO, VIXX, GOT7, B.A.P, and many more. It took a while for BTS to become my favorite group (and the only one I continued to keep up with), and it seemed to take even longer for me to find My Guy, you know?
Back then, I still thought I was bi and couldn't even pick who I was most attracted to based on looks alone lol. It took me a while to realize that they are attractive, but I am not attracted to them (or any other men for that matter). So, I continued to learn about their personalities and talents through Run BTS, interviews, music shows, etc., but I still wasn't sure, I guess?
I'm autistic, and BTS became a special interest of mine, so I infodumped about them to my mom and gramma all the time. They had no choice but to become fans by proxy. 😅 I think my mom said something at some point like, "You really like your Hobi, don't you?" And I was like, "...Yeah. 🥺" That helped me recognize how happy Hobi makes me, and that was that. Hobi is my ultimate bias, and 3J are my bias line.
So now here is me gushing about Hobi:
Jung Hoseok is a dedicated man who puts everything into his craft. He started off as a dancer despite his family's reservations and committed to showing not only them but also himself that he can and will make it. His talent is admirable in and of itself, but what's more is that he's always taken it upon himself to help the others when it comes to their performances. His absence at practice is sorely felt by the others, as we have seen them express time and again. They have all praised his leadership, and we know he has been an indispensable asset to the team, from even before debut.
My understanding is that prior to joining Big Hit, Hobi didn't really know how to rap or make music. In all honesty, he could have made do with just his dancing, but he chose to continue developing himself in different areas. He's credited on well over 100 songs at this point. His solo debut was a massive success despite the lackluster promotion from Hybe, which shows that he can stand on his own. And from what we saw behind the scenes, it was clear that he took that step not with arrogance but with vulnerability.
And hope. For all these years, Hoseok has downplayed his own struggles and emotions to embody the persona that is J-Hope. The bubbly, extroverted, sunny personality he showcases in public might not be his natural state, as he's admitted to us before, but it is no less a part of him precisely because that is who he chose to be for the fans. He has sacrificed parts of himself to be a bright, positive influence on his fans. Me included! His silly antics make me happy, but I know there's so much more to him than that. At the same time I respect him for his commitment to his name, I feel for him. As an autistic person, I know how hard it is to wear a mask.
And there's just so much more to love about him. He takes a million photos to document precious memories with his friends, made his first solo song for his mama, loves his elderly dog, is a scaredy cat, has a contagious laugh, can be a mother hen to the younger members as well as their co-conspirator, cannot hold his liquor very well, is the coolest guy around, carries little purses and paints his nails, loves shopping and fashion, and speaks with a southern twang...I could go on forever, but I will stop here.

when u get this u have to put 5 songs 🎵 u actually listen to, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)✨
Full disclosure--I saw this, thought it was cool, and then promptly forgot to actually Do The Thing. But now I'm remembering and going to make my current jams Everyone Else's Problem in the best way possible. ^_^
(Links are in the titles; please share in my musical blorbos if you're so inclined. I can and will gush about them at any opportunity)
1: Cyberpunk - Ateez: Typically I have a really hard time picking a favorite from this group, but this track off their new album is FIRE. The vocals, the beat, the note progression in the chorus?? I can't get enough of it. It has to be my favorite song they've come out with since debut.
2: Save Our Lives - Forestella: You'd think that a group put together from two opera singers and two rock artists would be strange, and you're absolutely right. But that doesn't stop 100% of their music from being a delightful adventure, and the harmonies and power vocals are absolutely breathtaking. I have this on repeat to go to sleep, and I've woken up humming it ever since. I can't recommend it enough.
3: Maniac - Stray Kids: Okay so it's no secret that I'm a fan of deep-voiced rappers, and Felix knocked it out of the park on this one. The vibes are flawless, the choreo is next level amazing, and honestly everyone in this group was at the top of their game. To no one's surprise, the Aussie line was out for blood. I love it so much.
4: One Shot - B.A.P: I can't share a list of my music without sharing this because it's honestly shaped so much of what I enjoy. One of my most treasured memories is seeing this group in concert before they disbanded, and they'll forever be my ultimate group. This song is one of the best they ever did, and a FANTASTIC introduction into such a unique, underrated group of musicians.
5: Outsider - BTOB: Now this is far from my first thought when I think of BTOB, but it's definitely the one I'm listening to the most right now. I missed them terribly while they were going through military service, and coming back with this right out the gate was KILLER. The sound is flawless, the vocals are great, and the dance? I can't get enough. I miss Ilhoon, but honestly it's great to know they're still doing great despite it all.
Anyways that's what's been living rent free in my head at all times for the last several weeks, thanks so much for the fun ask! ;w;
(I told myself not to make the whole thing k-pop and the whole thing turned out k-pop buT it is what it is, I guess fjkdasl;fd)
#I swear it's not ALL I listen to#but the rest of my music taste is either garbage or instrumentals and the first three songs in particular have been on repeat for a whILE#stray kids#b.a.p#btob#forestella#ateez#ask meme#music
