IU "Love Wins All" MV analysis
Every once in a while one of my favourite artists releases something so good that gets me to the point of obsession, which means coming over here writing about all my thoughts.
And no one does that quite like IU (which is why she is my absolute favourite solo female artist, not in k-pop, just in Music).
Here's a short (LMAO, knowing me it will be super long) analysis of this MV!
The story begins with the two main characters in this story (interpreted by IU and V from BTS), running to escape from a flying box, the villain of this story set in a dystopic reality on the verge of apocalyptic doom.
The two characters run to hide inside a Mall, and from the first shots we can already notice few characteristics:
IU is mute, while V is blind from one eye.
the two are lovers.
Once they manage to hide from the flying cube, they get inside the Mall, where they notice a huge pile of clothes in the middle of it.
They keep exploring until they reach an old electronics shop, and they find an old camera: after trying it, they notice that while using that they can "imagine" an alternative reality, in which they both look healthy and clean.
A reality in which they can pretend to be happily in love, while enjoying moments in a world full of colors, which no longer exists...
...So they start to explore around the Mall while imagining their happy moments. They go through a restaurant, where everything is rotten and molded, but they sit at the table and look at each other through the camera, imagining how it would feel to share a meal together, taking solace in those simple moments of happiness, like having dessert together, wiping sugar from your lover's face, etc.
In this imagined reality they suddenly find themselves surrounded by people, but they all look anonymous, with black clothes and covered faces: this is because they do not matter, what counts in this shared fantasy is the happiness between the two main characters, the only focus they have is on each other and their love.
After playing around they run away from the crowd and find themselves in another shop, where they find wedding dresses. Full of love for each other they quickly change into those and play around, pretending to be a newly married couple celebrating their eternal love.
...But their reality is catching up, and in the middle of this happy fantasy, the cube finds them and forces them to resume their escape
While running away the two end up in front of an open gash in a wall, which shows to the viewer the bitter reality of the world in this story: these cubes are everywhere and are destroying the world.
The two keep running together and they end up in front of the huge pile of clothes, where they get cornered by that same cube.
The two stay together and try to fight it, but in front of the inevitable ending the two hold each other and face their destiny together.
We see from the dying camera on the floor that the two get taken by the cube to be vaporized, and after disappearing their wedding dresses fall on top of the existing pile of clothes.
There are many things I can discuss while reviewing this MV, but I want to focus on a few of them.
THE STORYTELLING - when it comes to the Art of Storytelling, setting up a whole world, characters, and narrative with a coherent arc NO ONE does it like IU and her team. This is not one isolated case, she made it a mission in her work to deliver intense stories, ever since her major successes after "Good Day" back in 2010 she slowly established her own sound and image while also experimenting with this focus on narration and "theatricality" that makes the viewer immersed in her stories. Go see: "Eight", "Celebrity", "Coin", "Above the Time", "Ending Scene", "The Red Shoes", "You&I", "Modern Times", "Good Day" and more to get a clear idea of this. You need talent, vision, hard work, effort, and creativity to constantly deliver this quality of work, and IU along with her team is just doing that.
THE ACTING - this ties in with the first point, but I'd say there is no great storytelling if the acting is mediocre. She is one of the most recognized Korean actresses in the industry AND internationally, and it is for a reason. Her acting is intense yet delicate, complex, and fragile, she always gives depth to her characters and develops their backstories to give us a 360° view of them, which makes them more relatable. No matter how involved you are in your work, and no matter how much money and effort your company and team put into it, in the end, if the artists do not make a personal effort to deliver their performative art to the viewer your work will never be 100% effective. IU goes all in each and every time. With her is always quality over quantity, and it shows. Shout out to V for delivering a solid performance: I could easily see parts of him in the "happy" scenes of the story! When he smiles his expressions always look genuine and innocent (if you are ARMY or even a casual BTS fan you will easily know what I'm talking about). He definitely improved a lot since his past experience in a K-Drama, and I can't wait to see more of him on screen once he gets back!
THE CUBE - this is the first important point I want to make in this analysis. Why the cube?! I am sure the jokes about the choice of using a flying cube as a villain are hundreds on the internet, but I haven't seen anyone pointing out a possible actual meaning, so here are two I personally thought of. - The cube immediately reminded me of bright screens: this might be an implied nod towards the online world, the media, and in general the hate that people (and idols especially) receive in the incessant scrutiny both professionally and personally, sometimes resulting in severe and dramatic consequences. If you are familiar with IU you know that her life has been exposed to the public since she was basically a child, and she is now where she is DESPITE all the criticism and invasions of privacy she had to face. You probably also know that she has lost more than one person very close to her, partially because of this online hate that people keep spreading, so it is not too wild to assume that she might have wanted to add that to the meaning of this work.
- ...But more than that, the meaning I personally picked up is more universal and relatable to EVERYONE watching this story. The cube, more than a cube, is a BOX. Which is a symbol for all those social constrictions, limits, labels, and expectations, that society forces on each and every one of us to "fit" inside a specific box. To blend in, to conform to specifics, to get in line and live your life within those metaphorical boxes, that determine whether your aspect, your personality, your career, your private life, etc. are all ENOUGH to the standards the society expects you to follow. It is not a random choice that the two main characters shown in the MV are both showing visible characteristics that make them "different" from the expected conformity. IU's character is deaf/mute (Not sure if it is both), and V's character is blind in one eye. They both have SOMETHING that makes them unable to conform and because of this, they will never be able to fit inside their specific boxes. Because of this, they cannot exist in this dystopic society, that starts to resemble our very reality more and more.
THE PILE OF CLOTHES - Tying the previous point regarding the cubes, I need to point out this last important element in the story. I am sure 99% of you already picked on the not-so-subtle nod to the "Spring Day" MV, which also shows a huge pile of clothes to represent the lives that were lost during the Sewol Ferry Tragedy that happened in 2014. This in turn is using the concept behind a work of Contemporary Visual Art by an artist called Christian Boltanski. With his work "Personnes", representing huge piles of clothes just like the ones shown in these two MVs, the artist talks about life, death, and memory.
He depicts the reality of groups of people that for several reasons (wars, poverty, etc...) have lost their lives. He urges the viewer to go beyond the random acknowledgment of this: he asks us to EMPATHISE, to actually understand that we are in front of the only symbol of lives that are no more. He demands our understanding by showing us something universal, like their clothes. We do not know their names, nationalities, aspects, or whether they were part of metaphorical boxes...
The same artists once said that used clothes, for him, are traces of lost identities, objects of a subject that is no more.
He leaves the clothes, forcing the viewer to focus on those details, to ask questions about those people, to imagine their stories.
He urges us to remember.
I think that the lyrics and the title itself are pretty explanatory of the intent of this song: IU wanted to deliver a powerful message of universal love, and she chose to do it through an MV that shows us how Love can shine bright even in the face of death and tragedy, and she did it in an original, dramatic, deeply moving way that leaves a deep impression on the viewer, perfectly on brand with her previous works.
She showed us that Love Wins All, and she reminded me yet again why she is my absolute favorite solo Korean singer.

MY FAVOURITE JIKOOK VOCALS
I'd like to grab a chance when my new love, Letter is out. This a post dedicated to all of my favourite jikook vocals be it on or off stage. This post will highlight their "two shades of tender in a tug of war". Please be prepared to reminisce about the old jikookery days. Don't say I didn't warn you! Let's get it~~
ALSO! I am not ranking the vocals. What song comes up to my mind first grabs the top spot.
LETTER FT. JUNGKOOK
There's no official MV for this lovely song and won't likely have one as it is meant to be a hidden track. Just putting this lovely cover by Elisssa here. Check it out!
youtube
MY UNIVERSE
Like the tweet says, their raw vocals are absolutely beautiful. Their voices hits different, you know? 😭❤️
RUN
Yes, you're hearing it right, it's not that run bts song, but the hyhh era song. My forever favourite song, run. A song that makes me so energetic whenever I feel down. It enlightens me so much. For jikook? Good lord save me! They are wild 😂.
1. Seoul Final 2019
Psst, you saw this coming, didn't you?
Yes yes, you're still hearing me rambling about my favourite moment of 2019 (I say this "favourite moment" thing for everything 😭 I just can't choose!!)
2. BTS HONG KONG 190321
This moment is so underrated. I'll be sure to create a post just for this day and song. Highlighting all the pictures.
STAY GOLD
A beautifully written song by bangtan. Soulful lyrics and heartwarming meaning.
1. BTS STAY GOLD CDTV LIVE
Stay gold outro has got to be one of my favs. Just jikook staring at each other while ending the song. Pure comfort.
2. BTS STAY GOLD LIVE
BAD DECISIONS
A super cool and hip song. Dedicated to the fans. JM's and JK's voice blend in so nicely!

(LAUV, FT JIMIN AND JUNGKOOK FROM BTS)
"Feeling hypnotized by the words that you say"🎶
A collaboration between Lauv and JIKOOK.
THE TRUTH UNTOLD
TTU is a song that carries a lot of emotions and it's very well executed by BTS. The vocal line surely knows how to change their mood during songs and I applaud them for their professionalism. Ok okay, but I'm still not gonna deny that jk cracked up when Jin didn't hit his note well 😭💜 (my JINKOOK heart)
Do you remember the time where they changed the lyrics from "and I still want you" to "But I still want you" while facing eachother, still not breaking their locked gazes when the lights went out?
SEOUL FINAL 2019
I lost track of the source, if anyone of you knows where it's from, please let me know! For now, enjoy their harmonious vocals!
WE DONT TALK ANYMORE PT.2
Nothing to say. Just embrace their vocals.
LIGHTS
Something about this song makes me feel it's meant for jikook. I'm not saying the lyrics but their body language here is......
RUN BTS
A MASTERPIECE.
HONNE'S "YOU COME TO ME"
Jikook's cover, ya know?
Happy 7 years to this cover~
FILM OUT
I briefly started blogging on this platform around this era. Film out contains a lot of emotions. I love the beat.
BTS SOWOZOO
2. BTS CDTV LIVE
This post was long due and it took me a long time to get all the materials. My drafts got deleted and I got upset. That's why it took a while to be redone, lol. Anyways, please enjoy and support this post since it took a really long time to get it back on track. ENJOYYY~
Sincerely, tokyokookmin.

BPP,
First of all, I love your blog. I am so happy to see you active.
Second of all, I agree with that anon about finding Jimin fascinating. I have never been this intrigued by any other celebrity. I find him different but I don't know why. He is good looking but so are other idols. I mean it's Kpop. Most have to be good looking to make it. It's just such a weird thing. Like you can't help but notice him. Everytime I watch a BTS related content, he is the first person I notice. He isn't even my favourite but my eyes will instantly see him before anyone else. He also somehow leaves the strongest mark in any mvs or performances or even simple content. It's weird. I don't get it.
***
Hi Anon, 💜
I saw your ask come in days ago, just as I was logging out of the app and felt a bit bad because I knew I wouldn't have any time for Tumblr for the next few days. Lately, I've actually wanted to remain active here, but life keeps getting in the way. I know it's not a big deal but I really am thankful that so many of you understand that I'm active here only when I can afford to be. 💜
On to more interesting topics, yes to everything you said about Jimin. There's no other member I write about here more than Jimin and it's something I don't ever feel like apologizing for because that man is infinitely captivating.
It's rare to see someone who recognizes exactly what he is, as young as Jimin did. There are many points over the years that Jimin has done something, and it registered in my head that this man is different. It's human to be a bit self-indulgent, to be a little self-absorbed, a little self-deception is a very natural mechanism that sometimes shields us from other people's projections and malicious intent. And so it struck me as almost inhuman in how acutely aware Jimin was to recognize his need to be seen, heard, in the most audacious format available to him as a 13 year old boy in Busan, South Korea.
His depth of self-knowledge, indicative of his unusually high intelligence, is at the source of his magnetism and charisma. In my opinion. You can see it in his eyes and it amplifies his already unnatural beauty.
I recently started speaking with a Jimin-bias on Twitter and we've become good friends. She described Jimin like this (and I've linked in sources):
"Jimin of BTS is the man who wrote a detailed essay that convinced his parents to let him study dance over science or law, who landed an esteemed dance and martial arts scholarship, who went against his teacher (Lee Hwa Sung’s) wishes of going the more secure route excelling as a professional modern dancer given his talents, to instead pursue his dream to become an idol, who called his dad once a month as a trainee of a nearly bankrupt agency saying “don’t worry dad. Even if I don’t make it this way I’ll make it another way”, who debuted as main dancer and lead vocalist with what is now the biggest group in the world despite having the shortest training period in Big Hit’s history and one of the shortest training periods in all of kpop to date."
*
That is one reason I am ecstatic about FACE. The music itself is one thing and we'll deal with that when we get there - I may or may not like the music (though given what he's released so far, the fact he's in BTS, and him working with RM and PDogg, I doubt it). But the subject matter of FACE: Park Jimin, would interest me even if I was on my death bed with only 10 KB of data available for me to use one last time.
*
I'm not very good at explaining what I mean, but I hope those who love him don't take offense when I call Jimin a freak. Because that is what I'm absolutely convinced he is. I don't know how else to express just how beastly I think he really is. Looking at him for me is like looking at one of those lenticular prints that shift into different things depending on lighting - like you turn your head one way looking at Jimin and you see a panther, turn your head another way and you see a dove, turn yet another way and you see a snake. And each animal is the most perfect expression of its form. He hones every quality he expresses with a meticulousness that scares me sometimes, because every example of that sort of personality I've seen in music has burnt out or passed before 40 (Prince being the only exception). The rapline have an identical quality but they seem less volatile than Jimin to me for some reason.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm excited about FACE and Anon when I saw your ask come in days ago, I suspected you were fishing (lol), but also I love Jimin and will take every excuse to talk about him. It's also way easier to talk about him than it is to talk about Yoongi, Namjoon, and Hoseok for me lol.
Speaking of which, it goes without saying that Jimin's evolution in self-awareness is also a result of his relationship with the rapline in BTS, as well as some other members. Jimin's comments about how he relies on those three, of what he thinks of their characters, and about how those three have assisted and influenced him, are consistent with how I see them too.
Back to Jimin, he's a once in a lifetime personality and there's nothing wrong with admitting it.
(Me too, Jungkook. Me too.)
Make sure you've pre-saved FACE, stream On The Street, and stay hydrated. 💜

if you get this, answer with your top 5 music artists and send it to the last 7 people in your notifications Rose💜
This ask was more difficult then I suppose it's meant to be, because I mainly listen to songs, not artists. A lot of the time, I find one or two songs from the same artist that I really like, and then I have no idea what else they've done, so answering this required some thinking. Thank you @my-rose-tinted-glasses for making me sit down and actually think about what artists I like, and not just what songs I happen to vibe with at the moment!
Spoiler: it's a lot of Korean music, and what makes me come back to an artist is most often their voice.
Isaac Hong
I found him through the OST for Strangers From Hell (along with The Rose, The Vane and Yaori) and then rediscovered him when I watched the reality show Super Band. I love his voice and I love the way many of his songs swell and sweep me along. He's done a few more OSTs lately, so if you've watched a lot of kdramas, chances are you've heard his music somewhere.
Give Childhood Memories 내 기억 속의 소년, Close Your Eyes and Ruin a listen!
LeeHi
This woman has an absolutely amazing voice and can do widly different songs. She's got a lot of great songs of her own and has done a whole lot of fantastic collabs with various artists as well.
1, 2, 3, 4, FXXK WIT US and Breathe are some of my favourites, but be warmed: Breathe never fails to make me tear up.
Iniko
What a voice!!! (Have you noticed a theme yet?) Their voice is otherwordly and all it took was a few seconds of a short clip for me to get goosbumps and be absolutely blown away. Their acapella videos are a treat. Their music is different and powerful and I love it.
Luna, The King's Affirmation and Jericho are definitely recommended!
Woosung and The Rose
As mentioned, I first found the indie rock band The Rose through the OST for Strangers from Hell, and then some time later I found the singer Woosung and fell in love with his voice - and then it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise that Woosung is the singer for The Rose, and his solo songs are what he did to stay active while the rest of the boys did their military service. (Yes, this is the level of research/knowledge I usually have about artists. Virtually none, that is.)
Sorry, Strangers and Wonder are some of my favourite The Rose songs, while Phase Me and Face are some of my favourite Woosung songs! Psst! I have been told that the piano key he's hitting in the Face MV is the G note...
Bibi
Once more, as with all of these: The Voice!!! Bibi has a husky voice coupled with a bit of an attitude that I can't help but love! I found her through a show called The Fan (where I also found Car the Garden and Youra) and she keeps delivering!
Long Time Ago, Animal Farm, Vengeance are some of her songs that I think you should check out! The MVs are delighfully bloody, but maybe go for a lyric video if you don't want to see heads roll.
Long list under the cut, because I can't help but cheat:
BTS: the group that first got me into Korean music in 2016, when I'd previously only been interested in Korean movies. They put out so much music I can't keep up and they're possibly the only group where I've listened to enough of their discography to have a favourite album: Wings.
Mamamoo: a group of fantastic ladies who are excellent performers and fantastic singers! They know how to put on a show and how to have fun on stage. They're also challenging Korean stereotypes and norms, which of course gives them extra points in my books.
Jessi: now here's a lady who isn't afraid to speak her mind and who breaks Korean stereotypes for breakfast. She's a girlboss who raps and sings and does both hard-hitting hip hop and emotional ballads.
King Mala: a recent find, but what a find! So many good songs that made me feel like as absolute badass, and the lyrics are great fun and often delightfully kinky.
GSoul: a warm hug and a sigh of relief as you relax. Close your eyes and lean back and give his RnB songs a listen.
Jeff Satur: his music videos with his many different alter egos have given birth to the #jeffcest tag - need I say more? This guy sure has a vision and he seems to be having great fun doing what he's doing and we get to have great fun enjoying the stuff he puts out, so what's not to like?
Ten: now this guy is mainly on the list becuase of his performances, but what performances he puts on!! This guy can dance, and I don't know how many times I've rewatched his Devil performance from Hit The Stage which he did when he'd only just debuted. Apart from his individual songs, he's also part of NCT, so he's part of a whole lot of songs in a variety of different languages.

make yourself a musical fruit salad using songs by your favorite artist. choose a song to go with each fruit you select (you need at least five fruits, but i shall not police your fruit selection-- make the tastiest, grooviest fruit salad your heart could possibly desire🖤)
Oh my worm, this is such an interesting question! Thank you Em!! 💙
Okay, so my two favourite artists would probably be Linkin Park and BTS, for very similar close-to-my-heart reasons. And since they are WILDLY different sound-wise, I will give you two different fruit salads hehehe
First, the fruits!
Orange 🍊 -> obvious choice, zesty and sweet, brings everyone together with its juice; a refreshing favourite
Apple 🍎 -> solid, classic, reliable ; probably an oldie throwback
Mango 🥭 -> smooth, sexy lady with a groove; perhaps slightly unexpected
Strawberry 🍓 -> tangy, slightly acidic; a bittersweet one
Grapes 🍇 -> underrated bops bursting with flavour once you give them a try; a fun one
Melon 🍈 -> my favourite fruit so my personal favourite
Now for the salads:
Linkin Park Fruit Salad:
🍊 In The End - the song that gets everyone turned up, she's the mainstream queen for a reason!!
🍎 Numb - had to get this one here as well because, really, you can't leave it out
🥭 Lost In The Echo - Living Things is a very important album to me (and my second favourite from them), and I do NOT see enough conversation about it. Lost In The Echo is a fenomenal song, and probably one of my favourite Chester x Mike moments
🍓 The Messenger - just typing the name of this song got the water fountains going. "When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind" is a lyric that I will carry with me until the day I die
🍇 In Between - for the sake of "underrated" I purposely chose something from after the first 2 albums. In Between is criminally underrated imo, which is a shame since it's such a sweet song sung by Mike (which is rare since he hardly ever gets a solo song). Bonus underrated AND fun - When They Come For Me
🍈 Breaking The Habit - I could go on and on about why I love this song so so much, but I don't want to get sad. 13 yo me made it this far thanks to her 💙
BTS Fruit Salad:
🍊 Fire - THE hype song ever, it's physically impossible to be sad listening to her, helloooo 🔥 🔥
🍎 Spring Day - the fan favourite, of course I had to get her in here. Queen of the charts
🥭 Autumn Leaves & Home - this is my salad so I'll put extra mango if I want. Both of these are SO sexy in their own way, and since they're pretty far apart it'd only be fair to get them both in here
🍓 We Are Bulletproof : The Eternal - at first I thought about either 2! 3! or Young Forever, but We Are Bulletproof holds such a special, heavy meaning, considering the time it was released, and the overall theme of the album. I can't really listen to it without getting all choked up 🥺
🍇 Hip-Hop Lover & We On - putting 2 songs again because I can. These are VERY old BTS songs, and still remain some of my favourites. It's a shame so many newer fans outright refuse to listen to their older, not-so-polished stuff, cus it's fantastic really
🍈 Run - my mostest absolute Bangtan favourite, she's beauty, she's grace, she's so fun and devastating and aaaaaaa. AMAZING era that was, superior mv, just overall wowowowow
#this was SO HARD to choose omg I feel like a bad parent for leaving so many great songs out#kinda telling that most of these songs are sad/have sad lyrics#the emo girl is very much alive even if she branches out genres lmao#thinking about LP for so long made me incredibly sad ngl. it's hard to listen to them still#ANYWAYS#this was genuinely such a fantastic ask to answer omg i wanna do this to every single band I listen to wowowow#I'm pulling a uno reverse card and running to your blog with this question#thank you for this! sorry it's so long! i can't shut up about my favs!!!!#darya answers#darya's mixtape#linkin park#bts

Hi stormy!! You once told us that you watched bts contents with your partner and you just implied that two members of the group are may be romantically involved and he somehow guessed the members you're talking about? 😂 I'm not sure if i remember correctly but i remember reading that post intensely and with huge envy 😭 i so relate to that tweet: "my love language is watching bts contents together" i always tried to watch bts with my mom and sister (because I'm single af duh) but they sometimes indulged me but it's quite rare. They just don't like seeing me in hyperfixation mode. I'm also lucky enough to have got one of my friends to watch gcfintokyo with me but she was not that impressed 😌. She has the same reaction when i excitedly rambled to her JK LENT HIS STUDIO FOR JIMIN TO DO HIS BIRTHDAY LIVE, but then i guess maybe because she didn't know jk and jimin like us and why is it significant. So far, she only has watched bts bon voyage with me. Even with her calm reactions, I was so thankful to have at least someone to talk about my favourite boys. Sometimes I'm clearly aware none of them will have the same reactions as me and i know it's not their fault. They just were not interested. So I'm terribly jealous of you 😭 you both are so cute btw and I'm more than interested if you talk about your personal love story. I'm just rambling my immature feelings 😂 sorry if this is annoying and sorry for my english too. Also stormy, if you can, will you suggest some old contents that i should watch? Whenever i have free time to watch bts contents I'm always indecisive. Which concert or shows do you think is a must-watch for army?
I do watch some concerts with my partner! Not all, sometimes when I say I'm waking up at 3 am to watch the BTS concert he looks at me like I'm crazy and is like "okay babe, well I love you. Enjoy. Wear headphones please" 🤣 but if it's a rewatch (like PTD on Disney+ or just older concerts and he is free at the time) he will sit and watch with me and so will our kids. Same if the concert is happening at a more reasonable hour our time. Lol or will we all sometimes watch MVs, or Dance practices or run bts together. Not all the time, but it's nice when it happens!
And yes, lol I don't remember at all now what we were watching when it came up, since it was a long time ago. I hadn't mentioned before anything about shipping at that time, but i remember saying something about how even though shipping is so weird, sometimes it seems like there could be something there between 2 of the members. And he just went "oh yeah, you mean Jungkook and Jimin right?" And I said "why did you say them??" And he just made some off hand comment about how it seems like they act around each other from the little he has seen in ways that make it seem like they love each other the way he loves me. So for him if someone in the band was dating each other, it only made sense (in his head) for that to be jikook. For extra context, he is a Hobi bias, JK bias wrecker. And Jungkook was the first member he noticed and paid attention to in the group too. The hickey sealed the deal for him. He is pretty darn convinced at this point lol
Absolutely watch all of Bon Voyage or Run BTS if you haven't already! As for shows or concerts, you should go back to the beginning and see those if you can too! Their red bullet tour! The live Trilogy tour from 2015 too! Literally pull a concert tour name out of a hat for them and you can't go wrong honestly. LYSY concerts are INCREDIBLE. Any of those would be a really really good watch. 5th muster was EXCELLENT and should definitely be watched in full. I mean like honestly, pick ANYTHING and you'll have a good time! If you need help finding links to anything let me know and I'll try to help!!

That latest “comeback” kind of illustrated why a break will probably be good for everyone. I legitimately can’t remember the last time I watched a music video and had absolutely no emotional reaction to either the video or the song. Like, not even negative emotions. Just nothing, because it was so….bland and soulless. I can’t remember the song in the slightest and all I remember of the video was lots of sand 😒 So hopefully taking a break will be good for them as humans now that Hybe managed one final massive money grab (because nothing says we want money like charging $60+ for songs you already have listened to for years and probably own, plus the most boring concept photos I’ve seen all year at least).
Also, I hope no other group tries this anthology thing. Like, please just take a break or drop a single instead. Pleaseeeeee.
yea the main take away from the mv is sand. so much sand.
also like....hate to say it but they are absolutely not the first to do an anthology album and they will not be the last. and not in a 'people are gonna copy them' way, it's literally been a thing for like fifty years at this point. western artists do anthology/compilation albums all the time and tbh before streaming services compilation albums were great for listeners who liked a band's top singles but were not necessarily interested in experimental bsides and the 'full album listening experience'. my parents were huge cd collectors pre-digital music and the ones that got the most play in my house while i was growing up WERE the compilation albums, like r.e.m's in time or the tragically hip's yer favourites. but now that streaming services and instant playlist creation is a thing, there isn't a need to have a physical premade playlist like that anymore. and they aren't even close to being the first kpop group to do it either! sechskies has the 2016 re-album, boa just released a remastered album of all her japanese singles for her 20th anniversary, nu'est's last album was a compilation album, and ze:a did literally the exact same thing bts is currently doing in 2015 (release an anthology album and go on 'hiatus'). and also like. companies are already making you pay for songs you already own via the repackage system, so.........................
#personally i'm pro anthology albums for artists careers on the whole but you can't treat them the same way as a full cb#which i guess that bts didnt really treat it like a cb so tbh im fine with it as a gesture. it's a good gesture actually#my issue is that it's visually bland and they have the money to make it not look like that#im not defending this anthology album bc $60 is way too much but i am defending the idea of anthology albums#like i know that kpop has saved the cd industry by turning the physical objects into collectibles#but i think ppl have forgotten that streaming does not pay artists. like at all.#if you want to support artists you HAVE to buy their physical art. and albums are that#yea yea you can construe it as being company cash grabs but artists do get paid royalties#like it's not important for this group in this instance bc they already have way too much money and whatever#but for smaller groups buying albums is still important and does actually show support#875#answers#text#i think the only actual full album that i ever remember listening to the whole thing all the time as a kid is mgb's beautiful midnight#also maybe im just showing my age so much but like. we used to burn our own compilation albums and mixtapes all the time#also yes i know my parents were really big into alt rock

hello sam :D its ur secret santa again lols. since u asked, i'd like to be 🕯️anon (i love candles too much for my own good TT)
NO, BECAUSE I TOO WOULD LOVE TO GET INTO A KNIFE FIGHT WITH JEONGHAN, altho tbh i doubt he would stick by the rules. he does seem like the type of guy to bring a gun instead of a knife... it's why i simultaneously wanna become his best friend but also don't want to become his enemy. i also like to think i could beat joshua in a fistfight cus tbh what's he gonna do?? sing sunday morning??? nice try but nothing stops me from a good fight (/j). COMPARED TO EVERYBODY ELSE IN SVT HE SEEMS TO HAVE THE MOST PUNCHABLE FACE LMFAO. i'd be most scared to fight minghao though. HAVE U SEEN HIS PRE-DEBUT PHOTOS??? THERE'S NO WAY HE DIDN'T GET INTO FIGHTS REGULARLY
aside from that violent message (i'm so sorry.) i also wanted to mention ur impeccable taste!! the8 and the 12 shadows is such a unique concept i cannot stop thinking of joshua suffering in silence while drenched in water shshhshs. my personal faves have to be the ones where they're running around all over the place, like mousebusters. ALSO UR SO RIGHT ITS SO DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE A FAVOURITE BSIDE TT i spent two months deciding who was my bias sigh why did staining svt have to be so difficult TT
to end this off- here's a quick question for you. in your opinion, what are svt's best mv outfits? im super curious since i love clothes and fashion :D
take care of urself sam! make sure to drink water and take a nice long nap (we all deserve to relax)
lots of love,
🕯️anon
HELLO 🕯 anon !! i answered this once but tumblr broke </3 SO I HAVE TO RETYPE EVERYTHING 😭
my thing with the knife fight with jeonghan is...it would be a fist fight and he would bring a knife WHY IS HE LIKE THIS
(also violence <33 /j) AND my hate love relationship with joshua agrees with u abt him having a very punchable face (also ur right all of svt have very punchable faces esp jeonghan, joshua and chan lmaoo) though I WOULD LOOOVE to have an argument with seungkwan, i feel like i would absolutely destroy him (probs with a ur mom joke or something idek)
i have learned that if i have a hard time picking a bias in a group and i love all of the members so equally that i can’t think abt choosing, then they are ready for ult group status!! this happened to me with: bts, svt, oneus, twice, got7, nct and shinee! though, i do still have biases in the groups (seokjin, junhui, hwanwoong, jeongyeon, jay b, taeil, jonghyun) but i don’t really ult nct or shinee anymore.
SVT MV OUTFITS OKAY BET: 24H!!!! (theres a scene with seungkwan and his outfit is so fire) and call call call, don’t wanna cry (jun’s outfit is what made me stan svt), oh my!, hit, fear, and ready to love!!!! also HOT!!! but pls wonwoo burn that green suit it’s not it xoxo
MY TURN FOR A QUESTION which svt member do you think is most/least likely to pass a class, but fail the final exam so they have to take the class again? (me in my sociology class next week lol)
and DON’T WORRY!!! i take naps like every day and finals will not interrupt that schedule <33 if you’re taking finals pls take care of yourself when studying & good luck!!! <3333
love and svt (huh, that’s the same thing...),
sammie !!!! 🌙

PTD on stage thoughts- I
Okay now that I have recovered:
The pros:
Concert summary:
- The first half ( On-fire-dope-DNA, Blue and Grey- Black swan- BS&T-Fake love stole my breath away. Some of the best styling I have seen on the boys men. Bangtan said they’ve glowed up and they SHOWED that. RM with his buzzcut, Jin looking so naturally beautiful, Suga bringing bad bitch energy, Jhope with his hair and his tongue ...the maknae line really stole the show for me today. I could not take my eyes off Jimin and Jungkook. Jungkook looked and felt expensive and those contacts made me swoon. Jimin with his disney prince hair looking both ethereal and like he could pick you up off your feet. Taehyung with his tattoo and bringing his charm even if he was sitting down.
I’ve attended 4 online concerts so far and I dare say that this had the best remixes and sound mixing so far. Absolutely immaculate, please put these on spotify Hybe.
Special shoutout to Jimin for wearing full body chains, barely any shirts and still expecting us to breathe. FULL BS&T PERFORMANCE NEXT TIME THANK YOU
- The Black Swan performance hands down was the best one off that second medley ( which as you can tell, was my favourite).
- Very fun VCRs even if the storyline was a bit strange and felt more ghostly towards the end. First VCR in black and white wins hands down ( also loved the call back to the Micdrop mv and being questioned).
- I like the hype energy of the first half followed by mellowing into second segment before hitting us with the airy melodies.
- That butter intro!! so good!
- in 2021 the year of our lord I got to see live BS&T, I need U, save me and young forever
- Taehyung, get well soon! I wanted to give him the biggest hug for how disappointed he felt.
Cons:
- The ending was a bit off.
I am not talking about the ments which I thought was great because they spoke from the heart as they always do.
Maybe it was the rushed way they pulled through to PTD and cut to displaying LA streaming tickets ( yay!)? Maybe PTD was a strange song to end on? Maybe it was the medley order of young forever- spring day-ptd? Maybe it was day 1 jitters? But it felt off. It felt like they were still workshopping that ending.
One of my bigger gripes about hybe is that ever since the Wembley concert, young forever is supposed to be THE song that makes armys emotional and its a song that I’ve noticed played over “emotional montages”. You can’t force emotion. You can’t keep posting callbacks because you were once successful. It takes away from that original Wembley performance instead of building on the song’s success.
- I’m also sad because we didn’t get Louder than bombs (LTB). I’ve given up on ever getting paradise live but Bangtan you know we want LTB please :(
Overall i loved most of it. I love BTS. These men are beautiful lords of the stage. What a great Sunday, can’t wait to watch the replay next Sunday! (will post more thoughts then)

Such a cute song! I really enjoyed beginning the month with this wonderful track add to that it was released on my birthday. So YAY!!!!
2: STEREOTYPE by STAYC.
There are two relatively new groups on this list that I have fallen IN LOVE with so much and STAYC is the one of them. They haven’t released any bad tracks yet and I am so proud of them. They also got their first win with this one, so congratulations to these beautiful ladies. They certainly deserve it.

I was literally screaming while watching this phenomenal MV. My baby, my Bias actually WOTE this bop HERSELF. On top of that she looked fantastic throughout (they all did really). Ugh truly a gift. You Go Kim Lip!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
4: Move by Team P NATION.
This is from the survival show Loud and this group has yet to debut or even have a name, but if this song is any indication of their talent, I will be expecting great things to come when they do. Especially under P Nation.
5: Zombie by PURPLE KISS.
And here is the second newer group I LOVE! Zombie is… ugh. PERFECTION!!!! I really do love these girls. I highly recommend the WHOLE album guys. Zombie is my favourite but 2pm and ZzZz are a close second and third. 💜

This a DABUT track ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! This is just absolute perfection. The song, the MV, and the styling. 10/10!

Admit it we were all waiting for this collaboration to happen, and Oh boy did HyunA and DAWN ever deliver us an absolute BOP. We have been blessed this month.
8: LALISA by LISA.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I just……. I’m so proud. Been waiting for Lisa’s solo since Blackpink debuted. I literally cried. Please also check out her song MONEY it is also a great track.
9: LOCO by ITZY.
Great song. The girls look phenomenal, I especially love Yeji and Ryujin’s hair designs I think it fits them really well and Yuna’s styling was on point during this whole MV.

NCT 2020: SYNERGY (my wishes for an album)
I was positive we were getting an NCT 2020 comeback at the start of the year, however now I have realised I am a clown. So, instead, I have spent longer than I should’ve creating an album filled with stuff that I would like to see.
I want to preface this with the fact that I have no qualifications in anything related to music / album design / production or anything like that, this is just based on my opinions as a fan of music and NCT.
I’m gonna split this into 4 sections to kinda separate my thoughts, and so it’s easier to navigate.
1. TITLE
NCT 2018s album is titled EMPATHY, the definition of this being “the ability to understand and share the feelings of another”. I think SM chose this to reflect how NCT 2018 was an amalgamation of 127, DREAM, and U. I wanted to try and keep this theme for NCT 2020, though expand on it due to the addition of WAYV.
SYNERGY is defined as “the combined power of a group when they are working together, that is greater than the total power achieved by each working separately”. To be honest, I think the word ‘synergy’ perfectly sums up NCT’s concept of sub-units, so it would be a good choice for NCT 2020s album’s title due to its meaning as well as its similarity to ‘empathy’ sound-wise.
2. ALBUM COVER
The album cover for EMPATHY was very bright, like all the colours of the rainbow, but still very minimalistic and kinda futuristic? The NCT vibe. I think their second album would suit a slightly more mature design, and as I have no talent in design, I’m going to use existing album covers to give an idea of what i think would work well.
If SM was to go down the route of a similar album cover, I think the best example is the 1975′s newest album:
It still has the text elements that were prominent on EMPATHY’s cover, while being more minimalistic in colour (aside from the yellow side panel which would theoretically be bright neobong green).
If they were to go along a different route to EMPATHY, I think this album cover by Paris Jones could work well for NCT 2020:
If the background surface was black, a polaroid of all 21 members could be a simple but effective album cover.
In terms of promotional photos, this scene from the WAYV ‘Regular’ MV is my first thought:
Photos taken on a set like this, with all the members dotted about the room and maybe the album title + members’ names repeated across the screens could work well to give off the futuristic NCT vibe.
3. TITLE TRACK / CONCEPT
I can’t create a whole album’s worth of songs, so for the next two sections all the songs mentioned are going to be from existing artists. I’m not trying in anyway to suggest that “NCT would do it better” or that NCT should release the exact songs mentioned - I’m just using these songs to represent the styles I would like to see NCT explore.
Title Track: GETTING CLOSER - SEVENTEEN
I think SVT are a really good example of having a lot of members that all have the opportunity to shine. Getting Closer is that bitch, like the line distribution is spot-on and the choreography is one of my all-time favourites.
Black on Black was mainly instrumental to highlight the performance ability of NCT 2018. Getting Closer is reminiscent of BoB in its powerful nature, but would be able to show NCT 2018′s growth into NCT 2020, with further vocal / rap capabilities showcased alongside the previously established performance talent.
The concepts of BoB and Getting Closer are already similar, so this wouldn’t be anything out of NCT’s / SM’s comfort zone, and would also work towards establishing a dark & powerful ‘brand’ for when all sub-units perform together as one.
Special Stage: UH-OH - (G)-IDLE
I would like to see NCT 2020 do something a little bit different than ‘powerful’ for the special stage. Uh-Oh has a really chilled kinda west-coast vibe that I think NCT are yet to fully explore in any sub-unit but could absolutely pull off. It would be a stage where they could genuinely have fun performing all together.
I imagine the stage being done in a way similar to Growl by EXO in that certain groups of members come onto the stage for different verses, then all come on together for the final chorus.
The styling for Uh-Oh is kinda summer streetwear. The best equivalent I’ve found for a boy group in this style is ATEEZ Wave era.
This shows kinda how I think the styling for this stage should be, in particular Jongho, Yunho, and Mingi. Just think lots of colour, street brands, and denim.
Getting Closer and Uh-Oh are the only songs on the album where I’ve put all 21 members on the same track.
4. TRACKLIST
I have no talent when it comes to album design / composition or anything like that, but I tried to create a sort of theme / flow between the songs I picked for the album. NCT songs I’d liken the overall theme to are ‘Love Song’ from Neo Zone, ‘Love Again’ from Reload, and ‘YESTODAY’ from Empathy.
I’ve used an intro, interlude, and outro to show progression of NCT 2020 through the album, with these 3 songs getting more upbeat one by one. Though extremely cringey, I guess I was trying to emulate them growing happier through being together as a group.
Aside from the two tracks mentioned above that feature all members, the rest of the songs are split into sub-units, whether it be pre-existing unofficial units within NCT or a selection of members I think suit the style of a certain song. I have not included any official NCT sub-units on this album, as that was done in EMPATHY. I’d like this to be one big NCT U album, where we get the members in combinations we’d otherwise never get to hear performing together.
The Tracklist:
INTRO: The Unknown Guest (DEAN)
Members: Xiaojun
Xiaojun is a beyond amazing singer (he is my joint favourite vocalist in NCT). This song has an old feel, it’s almost haunting, and I really think Xiaojun’s voice would suit such a song perfectly. Xiaojun performing an intro of this style alone would open the album well and give him the time to shine he deserves !
Track 1: Getting Closer (SVT)
Members: All
(Explained above)
Track 2: CHILLI (SVT)
Members: Rap Line (Taeyong, Johnny*, WinWin*, Lucas, Mark, Hendery, Jaemin, YangYang, Jeno, Jisung*)
I might have completely forgotten some songs but I don’t think NCT have ever released a rap-heavy song of this style. I would love to see them do a rap song with this sort of relaxed vibe - it would show off diversity in their rapping abilities and would be a fun concept to see.
*I know Johnny, WinWin, and Jisung are in both the vocal and rap lines, but I’ve chosen to include them on the rap line track rather than the vocal line track as I think they suit the vibe of this track better than the vocal track. Plus, it would give the three of them more lines (god knows they need them) if they were on this track rather than with the vocal line :)
Track 3: Uh Oh (G-IDLE)
Members: All
(Explained above)
Track 4: The Truth Untold (BTS)
Members: Vocal Line (Taeil, Yuta, Doyoung, Kun, Ten, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Xiaojun, Renjun, Haechan, Chenle)
Although NCT has released ballads before, I would love to hear members from different subunits singing together. Like, imagine Renjun, Xiaojun, and Jungwoo on the SAME track - the power. Taeil and Chenle harmonising? Iconic.
Track 5: Spotlight (1the9)
Members: Foreign Swaggers / English-Speaking Line (Johnny, Ten, Jaehyun, Hendery, Xiaojun, Mark, YangYang)
I know Xiaojun, Hendery, and YangYang aren’t technically in the Foreign Swaggers, but I feel like spiritually they are. I wanna see 6 of them causing havoc while Jaehyun spectates (https://youtu.be/acsjfk4cz1U). A song with a playful vibe, not necessarily in English, would suit these members well.
INTERLUDE: Dayfly (DEAN)
Members: Taeil, Taeyong, Kun, Doyoung, Jungwoo
I don’t have any reasoning for why I’ve chosen these specific members for this song other than the fact I think the style suits them well. I think the 5 of them together on an interlude with a relaxed feel would just be a really calming break in the album.
Track 6: Vibe (1Team)
Members: Taeyong, Yuta, Jungwoo, Jeno, Jaemin, Haechan, Jisung
This is quite a broad range of members in terms of age but I don’t think that matters as each of their styles would suit a song like this. A relaxed style and structure similar to the one this song has would allow each of them to shine, as it’s nearly an equal split of rappers to vocalists.
Track 7: Retro Future (Triple H)
Members: Johnny, Ten
Baby Don’t Stop 2.0. I can just imagine these two singing a song like this and having so much fun. A JohnTen duet track is giving the gays (read @incorrectnct ) not only what they want, but what they deserve.
Track 8: Base Line (J-HOPE)
Members: 99 Line (Lucas, Mark, Hendery, Xiaojun)
The 99 line is 3/4 rappers so a song that is rap-heavy in style would best showcase their ability. We’ve heard Mark and Lucas together during EMPATHY era, and Lucas with Hendery and Xiaojun in WAYV, so I have no doubts the 4 would work together. Plus, rapper Xiaojun could be something that we don’t yet have but definitely need.
Track 9: Focus on Me (JUS2)
Members: 97 Line (Jaehyun, WinWin)
These two are made for a sexy concept like the style of this song, and their voices complement each-others’ so well. I always felt Jaehyun was one of the members of 127 WinWin was most comfortable around, so their existing chemistry would make a track together even better.
Track 10: Second Life (SVT)
Members: China Line (Kun, WinWin, Lucas, Hendery, Xiaojun, Renjun, YangYang, Chenle)
They have the range.
Track 11: New Rules (TXT)
Members: 00 Line (Haechan, Renjun, YangYang, Jaemin, Jeno)
A song with a fun feel to it like this is the only way to go for the 00 line. They are almost an even split of rappers and vocalists, so a song like this would allow each member to shine. I know any song with these 5 together would make me smile while listening to it.
OUTRO: Blue Side (J-HOPE)*
Members: Yuta
Imagine if SM gave Yuta his own solo track,, just kidding,,, unless? But for real, Yuta has managed to prove how talented an artist he is despite SM only giving him 2 lines and 8 seconds of screen time each comeback, so imagine how amazing a whole song by him would be.
*Song will be in Japanese.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I tried to split the members evenly between tracks, which I know is unrealistic but is what we want to see (SM please let Mark, Taeyong, and Haechan rest). I’m not sure if we’ll ever get another full group album, I’ve heard some people saying it will be NCT 2021 for 21 members, like the 18 members for NCT 2018. Regardless, making this made me feel happy thinking about the possible interactions and the songs that could come from it.
If you’ve made it this far thank you for sticking with my jumbled thought process. Please message me if you have any thoughts about anything in this post or just about NCT ot21 in general :)

My favourite title tracks of 2020
Tis that time again~ my top 10 title tracks of 2020
10. LALALILALA - APRIL
It's just such a good song! It's so catchy and full and has such a fun vibe. The bells and twinkles mixed with the harsher mid range gives it a unique sound and then the vocal line is so pretty it stands out even amongst the loud production. A fun little bop!
9. ON - BTS
Nothing for me has passed DNA for bangtan titles until maybe this. It's epic it's incredible. It has such a huge message that travels into the sound itself. We always love a good marching band but they made it sound inherently bangtan and that's just pretty cool
8. Turn Back Time - WayV
It just slaps y'all. It takes some of the elements that WayV have established in their sound from the orchestral + atmospheric sound to the harsh rock and blends them so well and follows Moonwalk without slacking at all. It's just epic! WayV are incredible
7. Criminal - Taemin
Lee Taemin at it again. I adore this song so much, it's so sleek and subtly powerful as only Taemin can do so well. The way it's so calm throughout until it hits that last chorus and we get his belt that adds so much to it. And it's even more incredible when he performs it live. Taemin God.
6. Break all the Rules - CRAVITY
Debut of the year! I love it so much. I'm not one to immediately get into rookie groups unless their debut is amazing and this is a heck of a debut seeing as it's on my list! The sound and production is very starship and Monsta x but it has this youthfulness in it and it's and modal bends and harmonies make it cheeky and interesting. And that DANCE BREAK oml
5. HOME;RUN - SEVENTEEN
Big band jazz ... as only Seventeen can do. It's so good it's so fun you just wanna dance to it. My favourite music video of the year!! And I think my favourite choreo too- I'm a sucker for theatre jazz. A bop and it shows off seventeens unique colour and sound so well!
4. ONE (Lucid Dream) - Golden Child
Okay everything about this song is great but JOOCHAN PRECHORUS. Sungyoon too but I'm biased<3 the production on this song is absolutely incredible and then they just strip everything for the prechorus and it's just beautiful vocals ahh. Stunning
3. LA DI DA - EVERGLOW
The 80s !! Probably my favourite 80s influenced song in this newtro wave it just slaps so hard. And then the synth instrumental kicks in for the break !! And the rising melody in that chorus is so good and it's so catchy and you're trying to reach those notes after just one listen. Just a bop!
2. Blue Hour - TXT
The feel-good-ness just radiates from this song in every way. The genre, the choreo, the styling, the bright melody lines. Just happiness in one little song !!
1. Back Door - Stray Kids
I really just think it's the height of what Stray Kids have become. It's filled with confidence, interesting mixes of sound, and just this whole giant feel to it. The swing feel throughout the whole song just makes it feel so big and theatric and epic. And that's enhanced in the big production mv and most notably the choreo because theres !! So many theatre and jazz steps in it it makes my theatre nerd self so happy.
~fin~ pls tell me yours !!! Come yell at me about your favs <3
#credits to all these wonderful gif makers !!!#pls go click on them and visit them and give them love#here's my nerdy lil music rant about them all#kpop#stray kids#skz#txt#tomorrow x together#everglow#golden child#seventeen#cravity#Taemin#wayv#bts#April

ult group tag 🎍
tagged by @ttaechwita, thank you my bestie 🥺🤍
rules: answer the following questions for your ult group - who as we all know is bangtan even though every single girlgroup is threatening their spot atm 🥲
who was your first bias?
hoseok! i remember seeing their debut photos and i think we can all agree they looked like wannabe gangster lesbians but hoseok just looked so pretty and delicate - stunning from the beggining
who is your bias now?
mr min yoongi - he has my heart now and i wouldn’t change it for the world cause 🥺🥺 how can this man be so small and tiny yet abolishes half the kpop industry and everyone’s ovaries once he gets a mic in his hand? you better believe hoseok is still my second best boy though
what was the first mv you watched by them?
‘no more dream’ and it’s still iconic to this day
what’s your favourite mv?
probably ‘young forever’ - that song still holds such a special place in my heart and they looked so ethereal and angelic during the mv. i had several ‘please pinch me to make sure these humans are actually real’ moments during it
if you could listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be?
‘magic shop’ - i really don’t think this is a major surprise to anyone cause i gush about this song constantly but just everything about it is so prefect, from jimins vocals to the raplines soft lines stOP
who would you want to see them collab with?
i really really want a bts x girlgroup collab - maybe blackpink? i know the fandoms absolutely detest eachother but it’d just be so iconic to see the two biggest bands in kpop come together and make a song and we all know it’s be a banger instantly 🤧 either blackpink or little mix cause,, girlpower
what mv convept do you want to see them do?
something set in the 50s cause just imagine them all in a diner with their greased hair uGh it’d be so iconic and amazing, please bighit make this happen
have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it?
i know for sure that i have but they’ve defiantly never been romantic or smutty 🧍🏼♀️ like i see them for 0.2 seconds out of the enterity of my dream and they’re just standing there like morons
if you could spend the day with one member, who would it be and what would you do?
seokjin hands down - this man is so funny and so underapperciated and i just feel like i’d get along better with him than any of the others ahsjsj 😎 i wanna have a cook off with him cause i know the second i’d mention that i’m a cook he’d challenge me to one right away so brING IT ON
which member do you think you’d be along with the best?
as mentioned before, seokjin. i feel like anyone would get along with this man tbh cause he’s just to carefree and happy and please smother him in love right now or i’ll riot. defiantly a toss up between either him or hoseok
which member do you think you would argue with?
jungkook, no thought about it. man pisses me off so much just seeing him on my screen but if i was face to face with him? death
if you had to let one member scroll through your tumblr, who would it be?
maknae line + seokjin are straight out of the question for this cause they’d just tease the shit out of me istg 😠 probably either yoongi or namjoon cause i feel like they’d be the most mature about it and proably be flattered then we all know yoongi would end up spilling it to hoseok later anyway hsjdkd
tagging: @joonni, @bratkook, @jjkxla, @flytomyjoon, @stayjimin, @namgee, @kithtaehyung, @utopiajeon

skz: hyunjin hehe
what was the first mv you watched by them?
svt: clap!! i actually first saw it on i think college kids react to kpop? lol i had just started getting into bts/kpop in general + i listened to svt but hadn’t really looked into them more, then i saw the mv and thought it was super cool (but i still wasn’t really a carat til like early 2019)
skz: i remember listening to i am not when it came out but i don’t think i watched the district 9 mv....i wanna say the first mv i watched was i am you!
what’s your favourite mv?
svt: i’m in love with the home;run mv omg i love all the aesthetics and the storytelling ugh it’s so good. but i’m also a really big fan of the pinwheel mv, because it’s just so pretty and soft and makes me feel all warm n fuzzy inside yk? oh wait but also oh my!!!!!!!! and fallin flower skjdbflsdfbsk okay i cannot choose sorry
skz: can i choose maknae on top lmao it’s so cute eheh ok but for real hm i love the side effects mv bc i just really remember when it came out and i watched it a lot! or maybe backdoor bc it’s just fun :>
if you could only listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be?
svt: ummm rocket !!!!! because it’s my favourite svt song and i don’t think i could ever get sick of it, plus it always puts me in a good mood like u just can’t be sad while listening to rocket it’s just impossible
skz: probably blueprint!! it’s just such a pretty song i don’t wanna live without it 🥺
who would you want to see them collab with?
svt: bruno mars just bc woozi wants it so bad and i would just rlly love thst for him ok
skz: hm this is a tricky one.. idk why but doja cat is in my head right now?? i only really know a couple songs lmao but i feel like that could be fun!!
what (mv) concept do you want to see them do?
svt: hm i think a like ~elegant~ concept would be really fun!! like i’m kinda thinking blood sweat & tears vibes yk?? like all fancy and artsy and over the top idk i just wanna see something pretty lol i guess similar to fallin flower hehe
skz: fANTASYYY AAAH pls i would love if they did some sort of fantasy concept i feel like it would suit them really well (i mean they’ve already done stuff with like swords and stuff i guess that’s close enough) but like just full on fantasy plsss aaah
have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it?
svt: actually quite a few ??? thank u @ my brain for blessing me with these dreams hehe but yeah too many to talk about, a lot of them involve joshua though and usually it’s just super random stuff (twice i’ve dreamt about joshua + a zombie apocalypse what does it mean)
skz: i think i’ve only dreamt about skz once!! but we were spies on some sort of secret mission in a super fancy hi tech futuristic school and we had to sneak in through the vents and stuff it was really fun !!
if you could spend the day with one member, who would it be and what would you do?
svt: mmmm a surprise to absolutely no one at all lmao i would 100% spend the day with shua!! first of all he speaks english lol but that aside i mean i love him and idk i think we’d get along well 😌😌 hm id probably wanna like go to a beach or something with him!!! and mostly just hang out i think?? probably eat some yummy food, maybe play like mario kart or something together idk!!
skz: aaa this is a hard one !!! i think probably felix though! i just think it’d be super fun to hang out with him and we’re kinda similar hehe so it would be fun!! i’d definitely wanna play board games/video games with him, maybe idk go to a park or something idk i’m bad at thinking of this stuff lol
which member do you think you’d get on with the best?
svt: i mean i do think i’d get along with shua really well lol, and maybe chan too hehe but also hoshi!!! idk we’d get up to some chaos together tho 😼😼 plus oddly enough like the majority of the most important people in my life are geminis and i apparently get along really well with them so 👀
skz: i’m gonna say felix again like idk man i could just see me and lix being besties ya feel ???
which member do you think you’d argue with?
svt: this is really hard because i don’t really argue with anyone lol i’m pretty chill...maybe chan lmao but like in a fun way if that makes sense ?? because i don’t think i’d argue with any of them for real
skz: again i really don’t argue much, but out of all of them probably the most likely would be jisung? even though i actually think we’d get along super well (i considered mentioning him in the previous question lol) but i think i only really argue with people in comfortable with and ik it would just be fun hehe. also to my knowledge jisung is pretty messy?? i think?? don’t ask where i’m getting that from i could be wrong lol but i’m really eat and organized so i’d fight him on that if we for some reason lived together
if you had to let one member scroll through your tumblr, who would it be?
svt: AAAA can i choose death instead LOL okay but for real maybe hoshi ?? i feel like we could laugh about things together and he wouldn’t be super weirded out or anything
skz: i think chan...yeah definitely chan i mean he has a tumble account anyways right?? yeah i just don’t think he’d be judgemental or anything lol 😌
anyways that was super fun!! if anyone actually read this wow that’s some dedication hehe it’s just me talking forever about my fave boys lol so ty if u made it though <3
