inb4 the main posts my unfollow 🤪

yeah, it’s finally happened. i’m dropping sooyeon : (

it’s been 3 wonderful, wonderful years with you guys, and though i haven’t had the chance to talk to most of the newer muns/muses, i do hope you enjoy your time here as much as i have! it’s a lovely community of writers that i’m reluctant to leave. unfortunately, college is a bitch, along with some personal issues i don’t wanna get too deep into, so i’ll be taking my leave.

if you’d like to continue to stay in touch, i do have twitter/instagram/discord that i’m more than willing to give out in the ims!

(p.s. if you’d like to namedrop sooyeon as Someone Your Muse Knows, you 100% have my permission! she probably fucked off to berklee for a sem before dropping out and then coming back to kr 🤡 )

um, i don’t wanna end it on a sad note, since a farewell post in itself is already so pretentious like bitch just say bye and go??? so i’ll just say see you around, maybe? thank you all for writing with me the past 3 years ♡ i wish every single one of you the best in your future endeavours-- stay safe!

fmdsooah​:

with: @fmdsooyeon​

No one is surprised to see Sooah being all excited about the activities anymore. She was always walking from one side to the other, talking to people, or doing some of the classes they made available to the idols. To put it simply, she was enjoying the little break as much as she could while she could before they had to go back to the busy and rushed life that awaited her back home. It almost felt like she was on a school trip if she ever went on one, after all, she had already debuted when she was in high school, and going to places with her schoolmates wasn’t really a possibility at the time.

Compared to her roommate, Sooah was simply overly excited. Somehow, every time Sooah saw Sooyeon, either in their room or in some quiet place outside, the other was asleep and Sooah quite understood why that was the case. If she wasn’t mistaken, Wish would start touring and with how close together their comebacks usually are, it would come to no surprise if they started preparing their next song soon. But Sooah had pilates class and there was no one else she could have asked to make her company and somehow, she had managed to drag Sooyeon from all people to a more exciting activity than sleeping.

They were on a little break and Sooah felt her muscles aching a little from all the exercise when she finally looked at her companion, “I should have taken you to a less demanding class now that I think about it, are you okay?”

“peachy!” sooyeon chirps, and for what seems to be the first time in forever, she’s being absolutely genuine with her answer. there’s a light sheen of sweat on her, evidence of her effort during the earlier pilates class sooah’d convinced her to join with her. she’d barely spoken to sooah the day before, too busy on her quest for wi-fi and too tuckered out after that’d failed, but sooyeon didn’t want to be a shitty roommate. 

plus, sooyeon was actually good at pilates. back in seoul, she’d attended classes at least once a week to keep fit. she’d never made a habit of putting effort into things she wasn’t already good at, and she wasn’t about to start now. “i started doing pilates to increase my flexibility for a choreography and then decided it was way better than, like, hours on the treadmill. have you ever been? or do you just exercise in-house?” she inquires politely, opening a cool bottle of mineral water and offering it to sooah. 

“gold star are, like, huge on health and whatever, right?” she’s aware it’s probably more for the sake of bang sunyoung’s image than their health, but sooyeon’s sure anywhere’s better than bc. always greener on the other side.

fmdhanjae​:

            +    ⟨ ›   @fmdsooyeon​ ‹ ⟩ ‹era. 2015›

⟨ ›  at least he’s wearing comfortable clothes, even if filming is taking basically all day, especially for him out of his members since he had so much to film. looking around, he’s been here on the various sets just about as long as most of the female extras that were on set. hanjae takes a moment to thank not only god but everything or anything else that might exist for how many girls were on set with them. thank god his group wasn’t one of those who never had females on their shoots. he flirts with half of them, most of the morning.

hanjae is valiantly pretending, vehemently good at it by now, that the cameras hovering near his head, or the staff across the lot from them didn’t exist. instead he dribbles the ball with a reckless excitement and a smile that’s genuine for once ─ no forced acting involved in this music video filming that’s for sure ─ as he peers at the young woman before him, the lead actress on set and he thinks for once, he gets to have fun. the cameras oversee them and he ignores them after telling his manager he’ll do so to make a good shot. he dribbles twice, three times, and then lifts the ball and motions like he plans to throw it the girl in front of him. “have you ever really played basketball?” he asks her to be sure before, no more accurately, exactly as he tosses it to her and makes a show out of it ─ for the cameras, mostly. some. at least a little for the cameras ─ “i can teach you if you want.” he knows her name, sooyeon, but doesn’t say it just in case she grows uncomfortable. they had a lot to film together today and the last thing he wanted was to make her feel like he was being forward. he smiles a bit, “who says we can’t have fun while filming.” it isn’t a question, but a playful offer.   ‹ ⟩

the staff and cameras constantly all up in her space is something she’s-- well. she can’t say comfortable with just yet-- gotten used to, and she’s making a valiant effort to not look directly into the lens. it’s the first thing she’d learnt during acting class, which seems odd juxtaposed with the idol mantra of ‘always find the camera!’, but who is she to question whatever bc wants to push her into? her own debut with wish is in a couple months’ time, so she takes this to be their way of revealing her to the public. it’s why she’s so determined to do well-- there’s a desire to show she’s what bc’s got, even if there’s not much to do but for her to look pretty.

“um...” catching it, she’s careful to answer. there hadn’t been a set script or storyboard to follow past the director’s verbal instructions to just look like they were having fun. “i’ve played in gym class a couple times.” she decides to leave out the fact she’d dropped out of school in the middle of that and flown halfway across the world to become a trainee and dribbles the ball a couple of times. “i think i know the basi- oh!”

the ball bounces off her sneaker, and it goes sideways-- as does the rest of the scene. out of instinct, she runs after it, just barely dodging a collision with a camera and landing herself even deeper into trainee debt. the director calls for a cut and a 5-minute break, and sooyeon buries her face in her hands, ears burning in embarrassment as she squats down beside the stupid basketball that’d caused all this. 

[fmdsooyeonarchived]

fmdhyeju​:

“the song’s not even out yet, and i already know it’s going to hit number one on the charts. it’s just one of those feel good songs.” sooyeon’s made her listen to a song she insists is a “friend’s”, but hyeju’s known the younger female for too long to notice when she’s not being completely truthful. plus, the vocal tone was obviously sooyeon herself, and so she can’t tell why she’s trying to convince her otherwise. however, hyeju decides to let her have it. maybe she just needed an honest opinion, and she knows that hyeju is the one to go for those. 

sitting back on the couch in the middle of the company building, she swings an arm around sooyeon before gently patting her shoulder in assurance. “this friend of your’s nervous to release a new song?” she thinks about adding in how she was nervous before her own release, but that would be a lie. hyeju rarely got nervous. “you should tell them that they shouldn’t be because it’s really good. i think a lot of people will like it.”

@fmdsooyeon, may 5th, bc entertainment building

sooyeon buries her face in her hands in embarrassment. “i... ah.” hyeju’s known sooyeon long and well enough by now that there shouldn’t have been any shame in asking her to listen to her song, but there’s nothing more sooyeon’d like to do than stick her head into the ground like an ostrich and never surface. she’d asked hyeju because she knew the older wasn’t going to sugarcoat things and tell her straight up if she thought the song sucked, but sooyeon felt as vulnerable as a kid confessing his feelings to a crush. 

“i’m just scared. what if bc was right? it is easier to market songs about falling in love.” she drops the pretense; the ‘someone i know’ excuse had been falling apart with every word. “people were saying i only managed to hit #1 because of the featuring on you, clouds, rain, and i know they’re just being annoying but the idea’s already, like, in my brain, and maybe there’s a grain of truth in there somewhere.”

fmdyujin‌:

the last time yujin’s ever seen sooyeon around was for shared house where she would make frequent guest appearances thanks to joosung. she’d always been vocal about her love for the younger female as well as her group, but she’s never really had the opportunity to befriend her though she’s always wanted to. with their promotions overlapping this time around, she’s hoping that her little leap of courage will prove to be successful. 

standing outside sooyeon’s dressing room, she takes a deep breath before knocking on the door. maybe she should have brought sung with her. he would probably have been able to lighten up what she thinks will be a slightly awkward atmosphere. when she’s allowed in, she remembers to present her the signed cd that the members have prepared. her manager thought it was weird that yujin so actively volunteered to take it to sooyeon even though the group would most likely have to go greet her as a group anyway. seniority or whatever. 

“sunbae-nim.”

@fmdsooyeon​, backstage of some music program

pros of solo promotions: 

she doesn’t have to wait her turn for hair & makeup. 

one in and she’s drawing a blank. fuck. if sooyeon doesn’t think positively, she’s going to lose her mind. 

(yeah, she’s going to lose her mind.)

the hustle and bustle of staff and other idols backstage makes sure she’s far from lonely, but it’s just not the same, okay? it gets marginally better with time; the days tick by and the music shows start to blend into an indiscernible maze of mirrors and vending machines, and sooyeon gets a little bit used to being alone. 

doesn’t mean she likes it, though. sooyeon scrolls through the lineup for today’s music show, absentmindedly gnawing at the side of her nail as she tries to find a familiar name in the list. there’s a good 45 minutes or so before her camera rehearsal, her staff are all either resting or busy with something or the other, and sooyeon's restlessness is off-the-charts. 

there’s a knock on the door, and sooyeon immediately shifts herself into a more proper sitting position, patting down her hair. “hi!” standing, she receives their album from yujin with both hands and a “thank you!” she’d expected it to be the whole group coming to greet her or maybe just sung, but she’s not complaining about the company. “i watched the rehearsal for dumb litty. you guys totally ate the stage up!”

[fmdsooyeonarchived]

fmdeunjae‌:

the only thing in eunjae’s mind upon arriving at the company that day was to record as much of the album as it was required of them so they could go home. the day had started early with the recording of their goodbye stage on music core. they had gotten no wins during promotions but eunjae reckoned bc wasn’t expecting them to anyway. the type of music they were releasing was clearly more suited for the charts – no wonder they had managed to debut at such a high spot –, not for music shows, and they got it. eunjae already won plenty of music shows with decipher to care about such a thing.

they are in the studio for a few hours before it’s decided that it’d be better if they got back on monday, as it’s obvious their voice is a bit tired and they are slightly crankier than usual. it’s not far from the truth so eunjae doesn’t complain. instead they gather their things and wave the producers goodbye. by the time they arrive downstairs, they let out a sigh because of course.

“ byungchul, ” they tell sooyeon, folding their arms over their chest. “ it’s his birthday. so i don’t think we can leave yet. ”

ah. figures. sooyeon doesn’t think there’s someone else with as inflated a sense of self-worth. while the door’s very literally right there, she knows well enough that they can’t leave. not yet, anyway, for the sake of saving face. she casts what will probably not be a final longing look at the exit, an oasis glimmering in the vast expanse of the desert of byungchul’s birthday party. nothing to do but sit around and twiddle her thumbs for a while. at least eunjae seems to be the same boat as she is. birds of a feather, she supposes.

she’s never thought she’d hate someone enough to wish death upon them, but as sooyeon watches the bc employees milling around with their caloric goldmines of cake and ice cream, the thought of smothering byungchul in his sleep so she won’t have to do this again next year comes precariously close to bringing a smile to her face. the sentiment’s far too morbid for a birthday party, though, and so she leaves it unspoken, instead settling for a “i’m surprised he’s made it so long.” innocuous enough. 

[fmdsooyeonarchived]

fmdlyna‌:

Lyna’s features don’t soften even marginally as the man who clearly thinks himself charming explains with a self-satisfied smile that they were only having a pleasant conversation, that there’s no reason for her to act like this. By that he means she’s interfering with his great plan. By that he means she’s overreacting. Crazy. She’s been called that a lot lately.

“Isn’t that right, Sooyeon?” He tries to lean to the side to peer over Lyna’s shoulder, but she’s quick to mirror his movements and block his view again. “We’re having a conversation right now, you and me,” she reminds him. She’s a statue of a woman, with hardened gaze and a petrified smile, which no one but the original artist knows the meaning of and she won’t tell.

A burning anger manifests in his eyes, but she knew that was coming. They tend to react with anger when they don’t get what they want, like children who never learned that things aren’t theirs just because they touched them. Just because they want them. Patiently, she waits for him to lash out, as she knows he wants to. Cast your stones. You’ll only ever scratch the surface.

Her own scandal is a weapon she carries with herself everywhere that too many have used against her before. This time, she pulls it first. It’s hers. Why shouldn’t she be able to wield it? “Haven’t you heard? I’m bad news. You wouldn’t want to make headlines for getting into an argument with me now, would you?” It’s true that a scandal would undoubtedly affect him less than her, but they both know that she can’t fall much farther right now, and those who don’t have anything to lose are always the scariest.

She’s done talking, so she turns her back to him. It’s rude, sure, but aren’t they long past that point anyways? “Are you okay?”, she asks Sooyeon instead, her tone infinitely gentler to make up for the fact that she doesn’t quite feel safe enough to back away from her just yet. The last thing she wants is to scare her, too.

Cautiously, as if asking permission to touch her at all, Lyna places a warm hand on Sooyeon’s upper arm. “Can I take you somewhere? To your manager?”

lyna is a woman alight with the roaring fire of her rage, and beside her, sooyeon feels warmer and warmer with every word out of her mouth, until every ounce of the cold dread that’d gripped her is replaced with anger that’s threatening to boil over. sooyeon sets her jaw, glowering at him with the same, if not more, intensity. don’t touch me ever again-- don’t talk, look, or even exist in my general vicinity, asshole. 

there’s an indifference, almost bordering ease, in the way lyna wields her scandal against him, and damn, sooyeon wants to be lyna when she’s grown up. she wonders if the coolness comes with age-- probably not. 

the senior sputters at lyna’s perceived rudeness in turning her back on him, and sooyeon has to tamp the urge to blow a raspberry at him down. she asks sooyeon if she’s okay, and shit, so that’s genuine concern. a far cry from the artificial, syrupy sympathy he’d offered. “yeah.” 

she can’t resist. “wish i could say it’s been a pleasure working with you, but... i really can’t.” sooyeon doesn’t afford him even a sarcastic smile, instead fixing him with a look like he’s dog poop she’d had the misfortune of stepping on. she’s not quite brave enough yet to stick around for the fallout of that comment, though, and briskly marches off with lyna in tow. when sooyeon’s sure they’re out of sight and earshot, she expels a breath she hadn’t even realised she’d been holding.

“wow, fuck that guy. but like, not like that, because he’d only be so lucky to, but like, oh my god. holy shit.” sooyeon wrings her hands, her nervous energy fighting to find an outlet and finding one in rambled english. “you were so cool, thank you so much, i was so scared, you were so... wow!”

sooyeon’s not having the best day.

really, just about any day wherein she’s required to have a meeting with bc’s record executives she tends to not find too high up on the relatively short list of her good days. today, though? it’s quickly shaping up to be the worst day she’s had so far in 2020. a feat rather impressive in itself, if you thought about it.

right now, though? sooyeon doesn’t want to think. she wants to go home, throw herself dramatically onto her bed and wail, magically make a song that bc won’t reject, and end her night at the bottom of a bottle. the bc entertainment building’s a long way from home, though, despite the nights she’s spent on the couches in the practice room that’d say otherwise. the lift dings to indicate it’s reached its stop, and taking a deep breath, sooyeon steps out...

into... a birthday party?

“who’s this for?” she ponders out loud, blinking at the room.

with love, for @fmdeunjae.

LEE SOOYEON VS FASHION: ASTRALIS ERA STYLING.

while so-so may not necessarily be the type of spring love song you’d be expecting from the season, astralis is still a spring ep. the album’s sound is light and fitting for the change of seasons, and it’s reflected in her styling for the era. gone are the sequins, miniskirts and bold cutouts of feel special, replaced with delicate lace, ribbons and much, much longer hemlines. her hair’s also been dyed dark against her wishes, in bc’s bid to have people start seeing her a serious artist and not just another cookie-cutter idol. (she still doesn’t get why she can’t be a Serious Artist with pink hair.)

Vivienne releases first solo mini-abum “ASTRALIS”

WISH’s Vivienne was the first member of her group to make a solo debut when she came out with her first solo single “Love Cherry Motion” in 2017. Since then, the maknae has released two full-length solo albums and a number of collaborations and solo Portal releases. Today, she’s made her return with her first ever solo mini-album in her first solo comeback in over a year and her first release since the BC Portal track “Come Over” with Knight’s Taeyong in February.

Following the galactic theme of her first solo album Across the Universe, ASTRALIS sits confidently in its place as a spring EP with a collection of musically light songs, even as the topics tackled range from the pains of romantic indifference to the up and downs of a budding love. Lucid’s Jeonghwa and Knight’s Duri make an appearance as featuring artists on “Jealousy” and “Purple” respectively and Duri makes an appearance in the composition credits of “Purple”, as another Knight member, Taeyong, does in the composition credits of “Jealousy”. Vivienne’s name appears in the credits many times as well across the areas of lyrics, composition, and arrangement, with all songs on the five-track mini-album featuring the idol’s creative involvement.

“So-So” is the song Vivienne will be promoting off of the mini-album. An acoustic pop track, “So-So” finds Vivienne trapped feeling “so-so” and lacking romantic excitement in her life. This is illustrated in the music video with Vivienne checked into the hospital to try to cure her. “So-So” will be promoted through May 30 on music shows and b-side “Jealousy” will also be staged solo for the first week of music show promotions.

Check out the track list and notable song credits below!

ash: hello?

sooyeon: it's sooyeon.

ash: oh no, what did she do?

sooyeon: no, i mean it's me, sooyeon!

ash: oh no, what did you do?

[fmdsooyeonarchived]

fmdtaeyong‌:

“i learned from you. you’re a bad influence on me, lee.” ash’s eyes shined with humor and a specific brand of fondness that only ever seemed to come out around sooyeon. hearing the news that she was moving into the same building as him had brought a range of different emotions with it: surprise that she’d decided to move out already, a weird twinge of pride that she’d grown into a successful and independent young woman with her own apartment, and a certain sense of comfort in knowing that she’d be so close by from now on. whether it was comfort in knowing he could keep an eye on her or that she could keep an eye on him he wasn’t sure.

ash wandered his way over to the kitchen with sooyeon and leaned back against the kitchen island as he examined the bread and jam she’d brought. “good, you need the nutrients from that organic shit. womankind cannot survive on pure caffeine alone.” he gave her a pointed look that said i know you and he knew her because he knew himself and the coffee to food ration in his stomach at the moment. “i was about to eat if you want a real meal to go with your toasted bread.” a white lie, but he had to get real food in her when he could and, if he was being honest, his apartment could get lonely. he didn’t want her to take her toast and leave.

during her research for her third album, sooyeon’d stumbled across something plato said about soulmates, being split in half, and why the feeling of being in love was described as being whole. when the halves find each other, there’s supposed to be an unspoken understanding. unity. no other greater joy than finding each other and being able to be whole again. it’s honestly an oddly romantic sentiment for her to remember, being that she calls bullshit on it anyway. the emptiness in her is clinical depression, and not the burning desire to get herself someone to kiss, thanks very much! she’s a whole person on her own!

“as i say and not as i do, kwon.” sooyeon retorts sharply, still smarting from the tragic loss of her bread. she considers pretending she doesn’t know that the remark’s directed to her, but sooyeon knows ash well enough to know he’ll start nagging if she doesn’t assure him of her, more concerned about her own well-being than his own. 

huh. maybe plato was onto something, after all. not the romantic love thing, despite what @sooyong123 on twitter would have to say on that, but about the unspoken understanding. it’s easier to breathe, to smile, to feel, when ash is around, and maybe sooyeon’s been looking for love in all the wrong places after all. 

“what’s on the menu? chicken breast? lettuce? très appetising. i suppose i could take some time out of my schedule to dine with you.” sooyeon studies her nails in a show of faux importance, ignoring her stomach’s pitiful growl, betraying the fact she hadn’t eaten a proper meal since... whenever promotions had started.
