remember how fast jonghyun would speak whenever he’s nervous. it was a cute lil habit of his

remember how jonghyun never learned how to ride a bicycle until he was 23 and when he finally learned how to, his new bike got stolen and had to go back to the bike shop the next day, apologized to the bike owner and bought a new one (only to find out a year or two later that minho was the one behind the bike theft)

remember how jonghyun always somehow managed to get a lot of sm’s youtube channel and would post cute n wholesome clips of his dog roo

remember how much love and support jonghyun gave to taemin with his solo career and how much he adored “dracula oppa”/ his “fairy prince”

remember how jonghyun fell asleep on the couch and minho recreation of that famous michelangelo painting and key posted it on weibo

remember how jonghyun got mad from said event so he decided to post 473828292 memes of minho as payback (and just always posted memes of the rest of the members on twitter lol)

remember how when jonghyun and onew first met, jonghyun thought he was older than him and dragged onew around the sm building speaking informally. and when he found out the next day that onew was older he got super embarrassed

remember how much jonghyun loved playing that damn kazoo of his, his live version of beautiful tonight > anything really

remember how the members were asked how many hats did kibum own and jonghyun instantly raised his hand in 0.000000001 seconds and got the answer correct

remember how jonghyun thought it was a good idea to walk to the airport with a dog mask on his head just so he could make everyone laugh

remember how much jonghyun cared for his older sister songdam and always had her as his phone wallpaper

remember how much jonghyun cared for his mother who he loved so dearly and said she was always his biggest influencer

feel free to reblog and add on your own favorite memories of him if you want <3

we as a society need to stop pretending like big noses aren’t sexy as fuck. stop feeding into the cosmetic surgery propaganda

tw: sexual harrassment

for those who haven't heard yet, mingyu has been accused of verbally sexually harassing someone when he was in middle school. note that this is a separate (though not necessarily unrelated) accusation from a bullying claim that was made against him the other day, which pledis denied after asking mingyu about it. the sexual harrassment post came out today and pledis/mingyu have not said anything yet

here is a google doc translation of the original pann post

I will also summarize what claims have been presented below. please make sure if you see a claim to verify it from an original source. no one, including the victim, benefits from exaggerating or adding additional claims, and of course the claims should not be downplayed either

from this point there will be descriptions of the specific incidents op describes

OP provided specific details of the academy they attended as well as a layout of the school and of the classroom where one of the incidents occured

OP claims that whenever she would try to speak in class mingyu would say things like "what do you know" and "don't jump the gun" discouraging her from speaking

OP claims mingyu would often make sexual jokes around her to the point a teacher told him to stop, but he still continued when the teachers weren't around

OP claims that mingyu and one other boy drew pubes/hairs on the board, making OP uncomfortable, though she doesn't remember if mingyu was actually the one to do the drawing, he was actively going along with it

OP claims not long after these incidents is when mingyu became a trainee. OP tried to avoid hearing news about him

OP saw mingyu's photo and realized he'd become a well known idol years later after they (OP) had become an adult

OP states that she mentioned the incidents to her therapist, who helped her realize that incidents like these can still badly hurt people (even though it's not typically considered as "bad"/extreme as people who have experienced physical harassment)

OP included a note written by her therapist that states OP feels uncomfortable talking about idols with her sister because of what happened with mingyu

OP made the post so others know this happened, she doesn't want an apology

some clarifications:

Some people have been saying that mingyu spread rumors about OP (specifically related to her virginity), this was not mentioned in the article, and is, as far as i can tell, a result of a mistranslation

OP was not in therapy specifically because of mingyu, it was something that came up in one of their sessions

the sexual comments weren't made toward OP or anyone else specifically, mingyu and his friends were saying the jokes to each other

another post popped up after OP's original post:

here's a thread of translations of mingyu's other classmates talking about him being a bully, including throwing trash at and hitting the desk of a disabled student

(and here is the original post that the thread is translating) From what i saw through google translate (so obviously the meaning may not be exact), the purpose of this second post again was not to get an apology or financial compensation. rather, they want mingyu to reflect and to provide further proof so fans will stop defending him

this (tumblr) post is primarily meant to inform people of the situation, so I tried not to include my personal opinions in this particular post. If any additional information pops up or corrections need to be made i will add it in a reblog, so please check the notes to make sure you're reading and reblogging the most recent version of this post. if pledis puts out an official statement i will make a separate update post, but i will also mention that there's been a statement in a reblog

like man i’m glad we’re finally talking about it but you guys have to be at least, like, slightly fucking aware of imperialism and nationalism in japanese media, especially anime. if you can understand that a country’s past can influence its media in the USA why cant you fucking see that elsewhere. the scars of imperial japan’s actions haven’t magically vanished now that its not the 20th century - the colonial legacy is real and alive and its impacts persist. ppls families still to this day refuse to buy anything japanese. anti-korean sentiment in japan is still very much around and dangerous. the survivors of japans actions in the pacific are still alive, and so are their descendants. i am just begging you to use your brains when consuming media and maybe do 5 seconds of googling about unit 731, nanjing, comfort women, and what the flag of the rising sun means to people.

korean immigrant here to add some anecdotal stuff about the effects of colonial rule: my grandmother was born in the 30s and lived through the occupation (which started in the 10s, and politically korea was under japanese influence even before then). she uses japanese words and pronunciations for everyday items even today because that’s how she grew up (e.g. sodenashi for sleeveless tops, ba-te-ri/바테리 instead of 배터리 for battery). she’s still alive today. my parents who were born in the 50s use similar language (e.g. using nashi instead of the full sodenashi) because they grew up in that cultural aftermath. 2-3 generations isn’t enough to erase this kind of trauma. at least linguistically, the colonial effects are still alive and well. and i know at the beginning of the 00s there was still a very strong ‘don’t buy japanese’ sentiment among adults, though children did consume japanese-origin media (i.e. pokemon). it’s a complex situation because we’re neighbouring countries.

to people who aren’t korean, especially white americans: we know this kind of thing doesn’t matter to you, personally. but the way you look at japan as a descendant of a country that was on the side of victory against it, versus the way we might look at japan, is very different. the rising sun flag might just be a particularly japanese motif to you, but to us it’s the literal symbol of war crimes committed against us. if someone points out that you’re idealizing or perpetuating imperialist versions of events or symbols, please listen to them. thanks

taiwanese american here. my grandparents grew up under the occupation. i didn’t find out until i was in high school that my grandma was fluent in japanese, she just didn’t want to speak it again until after the war, and yet in taiwanese mandarin we still have a lot of loan words left from japan. some benshengren even speak japanese as natively as hokkien. our school systems changed because of them. when i started expressing interest in japan as a kid because i started watching anime, my dad sat me down and talked about their war crimes the best he could to a child, and even then i didn’t learn the full depth of unit 731 and comfort women until my teens.

i see a lot of you western anime fans, especially white people, calling out homophobia and sexism in anime, even when you didn’t have the full nuance to understand if what you were saying was actually accurate. (remember when yall accused when marnie was there of queerbaiting lol.) you LOVE criticizing things from a western framework, but ALWAYS shove japanese fascism and racism to the backburner. a lot of anime you enjoy explicitly shows anti chinese, anti korean, anti se asian racism in some way, yet when we bring it up you say “oh it’s ok to enjoy problematic things!” why is this history of murder, violence, slavery, and fascism just something “problematic” but you’ll make a 50 page post about queerbaiting and sexism in anime while excluding lgbt+ japanese people or other asians how they feel about the topic?

i know you were all raised to view everything strictly with a western lens, i mean even i’m affected by it and my parents are literally asian immigrants who raised me on asian media, but just because you didn’t grow up knowing about this history doesn’t make it trivial. and stop telling e/se asians affected by japanese imperialism to suck it up

Stembofication is real and it happened to me.

Gonna start random discourse now. Living in a two-story house is elitist. Moving to a foreign country is cultural appropriation. And stop saying something is "easy", you are slutshaming the task
