ʚɞ . journey !
i’ve known about shifting since late 2021 before leaving the community around 2023 after feeling that shifting did not necessarily align with my beliefs although part of me deep down still questioned everything. around aug. 2025 i came across a shifting post on tiktok and fell into a rabbit hole which inevitably brought me back to shifting and back to rediscover myself and go through this journey with a newer and better mindset.

everything you need to know about my show byob club in my ICON1C dr
⌕ what is “ 바이오비 클럽 ” aka “ BYOB CLUB ” ?
1. BYOB standing for “Bring Your Own Bestie”. and it is hosted by my best friend luna and i, who is also a member of my co-ed group, ICON1C.
2. this is a podcast styled idol interview show.
3. this show’s concept is based around friendship, building chemistry and having fun. guests are encouraged to bring along a fellow group member, close/best friend or someone they naturally click with creating a more genuine and chaotic energy on set. it is built around the idea that idols are at their funniest and most honest when they’re with people they genuinely feel comfortable around.
4. episodes usually span between 20-35 minutes and air on friday at 4pm kst (this being not consistently but every other friday if we do not have group comeback schedules that conflict). guests are usually in pairs or max 3 from a specific group based on comeback scheduling or soloists who bring another friend or soloist, or idol or industry friends of ours who simply came to join as we eagerly invited them. guests who have appeared on more than one occasion are then dubbed the “BYOB honorary members”.
5. what started as a limited special series on our group’s youtube with just 5 episodes called “BYOB”, back in mid-late 2024 soon became a viral hit due to fans loving our hosting styles, the guests we would invite and the overall natural chemistry we had as fans loved seeing their own faves having a good time.
6. by march of 2025, the series had rebranded, aired and expanded into “BYOB Club” to a more grand scale having gotten a wider production network that had agreed to collaborate and help us. found across platforms for not only viewing but also on the go listening with one of the highest ratings for entertainment in korea.
— overall vibe and set details
1. the atmosphere is intentionally relaxed, guests sit with plushies, eat snacks, drink something warm or iced coffee, and often forget cameras are rolling.
2. the set looks like a mix between: a stylish sleepover room, a retro teen magazine photoshoot, an idol dorm hangout area and a cozy podcast studio.
3. with scrapbook graphics, digital camera and polaroid pictures hung and framed around, personalised stickers, a glowing neon sign with the show logo in pink & blue and disposable cameras to capture memories whenever.
4. key features also include big comfy navy couches, fuzzy rugs and floor cushions, a mini snack table (prior to filming guests are asked what their favourite snacks and drinks are so we are able to have them on set), shelves filled with albums, decor and other gifts guests have given us as well as soft throw blankets for guests once the seasons start getting colder.
5. the most prominent and well known aspect of the show being the BYOB Club “Hall of Friendship”, where guests leave signed polaroid pictures on a wall that can be seen at the back of the set. at the end of every episode, guests along with the hosts, also take group photobooth pictures and luna and i gift them cute byob club keychains.
6. the “bestie basket” is another cute feature on set fans and guests have come to love. this is simply a basket of different plushies that guests and i can scavenge through with support plushies to hold, fidget/stress toys or silly props to use during pictures or games.
— show’s segments
> 1. “ Bring the Tea ”
- here guests share any lighthearted stories, recent life updates, comeback chaos and tea, embarrassing and memorable moments and anything in between.
> 2. “ Read Receipts ”
- luna and i read sent in confessions, unpopular opinions and other anonymous stories sent in by fans and guests can react and give their own advice. this segment tends to go viral for some of the chaotic stories sent in by fans and our reactions.
> 3. “ Pass the Aux ”
- a fan favourite segment as they can grow closer to their favourites by getting to know their music tastes. guests can recommend their favourite songs, hype, emotional, albums that got them through a long week and even a song that reminds them of the other guest they brought along. this segment is also used to promote the idol guests who have come to promote their comeback.
> 4. “ Bestie Check-In ”
- a softer and unexpectedly sincere and emotional segment. guests and hosts have a lot more deeper and meaningful conversations. we ask questions to get to know more about guests and their friendship and foster a more vulnerable and open space to grow closer altogether.
> 5. “ Club RSVP ”
- a good group hangout always needs chaos and that is exactly what this segment is. from games such as truth or dare, answer or drink/eat (not alcohol, can sometimes be a shot of lemon juice), balance games, friendship tests and fun questions of who’s more likely and “exposing” each other. this segment is most popular amongst fans for how chaotic it is but also producing the most memes from all the crazy challenges and punishment props.
— what makes this show standout ?
1. fans describe the show as, “the idol show where everyone feels like they’re part of the family”.
2. it has especially become recognised and loved for how us as the hosts are able to make even the most shy guests feel comfortable, many idols openly say the show feels less like filming and more like hanging out with friends.
3. the show doesn’t overly focus on just bringing humour, but balances it out with just the right amount of vulnerability that fans can appreciate.
— honourable guest and viral moments
1. myung jaehyun and woonhak had joined the show and jaehyun kept teasing woonhak and imitating him which made him crashout, i only added fuel to the fire calling luna and woonhak “like mother and son” because she was a crashout and they both crashed out as jaehyun and i teased them both.
2. beomgyu had came along with soobin, and soobin and i kept tag teaming to rage bait beomgyu and just being shady while luna just laughed and beomgyu threatened to “break up” with me (platonically; he is my other best friend in my dr) but by the end of the episode we were back to joking with each other as usual and sharing our own friendship stories.
3. sion and sakuya made an appearance and that entire episode i kept getting cuteness aggression and told saku he was now my son but sion claimed he was his and we kept (jokingly) fighting over him before settling on co-parenting (saku claims to not have agreed to any of this but he is exactly where he wants to be in my humble opinion)
answering questions about (some of) my drs in this shifting ask game
— tysm to my angels @luansreality & @belamourmoon for tagging me, mwah! <33
GOING HOME ⤷ Which reality would you consider to be your main one ? ˎˊ˗
— my irris dr . like that is actually my baby and i lowkey built that brick by brick fr.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN ⤷ Where was the first place you ever tried to shift ? ˎˊ˗
— uhhh, i think it was a txt dr? yes yes. back then before my break and “rebranding”, when i had first heard about shifting and learnt more enough to finally have a reality i wanted to shift to, it was a txt dr where i was the 6th member. there i also scripted i would wake up next to yeonjun since he was my s/o and i remember feeling arms around my waist pulling me closer to cuddle. *screams*
NEW MOON ⤷ What reality have you most recently decided to experience ? ˎˊ˗
— my xg dr . essentially i took xg’s discography and concept and made them a kpop group under koz ent and so the real xg in this reality is not a group there. and honestly i was just excited to perform their songs, their discography is just golden! and ofc my own interview show so i can meet all these different idols too.
— my f1 wag dr . this is like super super new. i couldn’t decide if i wanted to be with any of the actual drivers so i just “created” an oc one. i just thought this would be a fun experience and i get to see europe more as well, be a ferrari baddie and honestly my fiance is just, the sweetest angel ever.
ALL THE ATTENTION ⤷ Which reality are you currently focused on ? ˎˊ˗
— my irris dr . i miss my friends, my members, MY MAN and my amazing family. and i randomly went back and watched some old mma and mama awards (for the love of the game) and i could see my group performing and everything which further grew the hyperfixation.
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ⤷ What reality do you find the most relaxing ? ˎˊ˗
— woahhh… my nepo baby dr . old money rich, classy, fun and just so elegant. i think i also just find this dr relaxing because i never really have to work for my lifestyle and comfort (which i am so grateful for) and i can just be a stay at home daughter lol. yes, olivia rodrigo wrote that one part in jealousy jealousy about me /j.
THRIVING IN CHAOS ⤷ Which reality do you have the most going on in ? ˎˊ˗
— my tidal hearts dr . it’s literally a dating show, ofcourse it’s just pure drama and chaos… and that is exactly why I’m going there-
— basically all my kpop drs . i mean being an idol, my schedule is quite intense and still managing to balance my own personal life away from the limelight to try and spend more time with my friends, family and s/o (can you tell quality time is one of my main love languages).
SAFTEY FIRST ⤷ Which reality do you feel the safest in ? ˎˊ˗
— my irris dr is like my safe space and safe haven. as many drs as i may have, that one is truly my baby.
— my kyungyeon dr . i mean yes i will be going to uni but ill be living in seoul with my best friend, having a great time with our other friends, getting to travel more, i have the sweetest and cutest boyfriend ever too, i get to document my beautiful life on youtube for my fans and my grades are always at their best. just a life filled with abundance and blessings, and i am so grateful. this is just me living my life in this reality but just 100x better and getting everything i ever wanted and more. (plus it’s honestly just me, i be using that fc as a placeholder to post really).
DO IT FOR THE THRILL ⤷ What reality would you say is the most dangerous ? ˎˊ˗
— my totally spies dr . it speaks for itself, i am literally a spy. and being an international spy is definitely not for the weak but ive got amazing friends to go through that whirlwind double life with.
— my historical royalty dr . not only am i in the joseon dynasty but i also am royalty myself (from a different African kingdom tho) and im bound to have enemies in the palace who only see me as a threat, especially having gotten a lot closer to the crown prince.
A LONG TIME COMING ⤷ What is a reality you have not yet reached ? ˎˊ˗
— i mean i guess all of them but why must i fret over the inevitable (shifting). ive “mini” shifted quite a few times and been to parallels, and that’s on being a master shifter.
ITS NICHE ⤷ What is a unique or underrated reality you shift to ? ˎˊ˗
— my hierarchy dr . i didn’t even like the kdrama that much ngl, but this was an impulsive decision for the plot and an excuse to just be a rich international kid lol.
— my totally spies dr . truly ever seen a handful of people shifting here but we love >.<
— my tags 💌 (random/no pressure) : @fleurrscent @vampireprinceshifts @ryanmirae @ohsxxnta @senaenabear @charchivess @saintnyneve @daiysveil @easyboyrecliner @jophyra @candycoer @grrrlsgogames @ohsolottie @janie-lind @majestete + anyone else who would like to join!
Just wanted to say good luck on your exams baddie 🩷 I miss seeing you post and I can't wait till you come back 😭😭🫂🫂🩷🙏
hi my gorgeous girl 🤭
thank you so so much, i finally finished my last exam yesterday so im free 😮💨 but i also apologise for responding to you so late, i was really just caught up in focusing on my academics.
i hope you’ve been well and i missed you more ahh, it feels great seeing and talking to my moots again
*side note: i was travelling back home to my family today but im gonna be travelling again tomorrow so i might take a minute to respond to my lovely dms but i will, i just need to rehabilitate from how drained i really am honestly 😭😭🙏🏽
currently writing and studying for my final exams for this semester so i haven’t really been active lately nor responding to dms
with that being said, i will probably only go back to being more active and responding once i am done but occasionally post maybe here and there in my little free time but i will see lol
trust me, i get it. for a lot of people (2020 shifttok survivors), it’s been years. and after waiting for that long, you get sick of hearing people say it’s “as easy as breathing,” “you’ll shift when it’s right,” or “i shifted once i stopped caring.”
and it’s so easy for giving up to look more appealing than continuing your journey. it’s all too effortless to say “fuck this, it’s been too damn long, maybe this just isn’t for me.” i used to often find myself struggling to find a reason to keep going, keep attempting, in the face of what felt like endless failure.
i'll start by saying that shifting fatigue is so real and so normal. you're not wrong for feeling this way. you're not lazy or undeserving of shifting. when you want something so badly for so long, and you feel like you're so close only to be denied again, it is genuinely exhausting. why wouldn't you become bitter? why wouldn't you get tired of forcing yourself to stay hopeful? you're not wrong for that.
over time, shifting can stop feeling fun and just feel like a chore. you don't think about how excited you are for your dr throughout the day anymore, you just anticipate another failure.
it's no wonder that becomes exhausting. you're not supposed to bully yourself into shifting or brute force your way there. stop pretending to be motivated if you're not. that's why i stopped posting on this blog for a long time, i just didn't have it in me. i was tired and i admit that. but that doesn't mean i ever gave up, and neither should you. resting is not the same as quitting.
reconnect with the part of shifting that actually brought you joy in the first place. stop worrying about methods, symptoms, the 3d, if you're doing not enough or too much or everything or next to nothing. think about your actual desire.
where are you most excited to go? what's the first thing you want to do? who's the first person you're going to hug? what are you gonna eat? what's your day-to-day life like? where do you go to school? who's your best friend you can't wait to gossip to? who's your worst enemy you can't wait to beef with? remind yourself why you want this.
and if you can't bring yourself to do any of this because you're that burnt out, let me remind you that that still doesn't mean you won't shift. your emotional state is not a blockage. you do not need to be your most faithful sunshine and rainbows self in order to shift. you don't need to raise your vibrations or do shadow work or become a monk with perfectly balanced inner peace. i'm not denying that those things can help, but you can still be tired and over it and decide "i'm in my dr", and end up there.
sometimes the healthiest thing you can do for your shifting journey is to take a step back from it. stop digging up the roots to check if they've grown, let the seed stay in the soil. and above all, don't be ashamed to admit that sometimes you're just over it and that's okay.
every time i shifted i wasn't doing any specific kind of method or trying super hard to focus.
but instead, i let myself relax and didn't worry about potentially "failing". i didn't think about what was going to happen, i didn't force myself to do anything. i simply set the intention, and then didn't dwell on it anymore. i just let it happen.
you can shift even if you doubt yourself, if you're desperate, and regardless of what you're doing or how you're feeling. because i too have shifted during times where my mindset was unnecessarily overcomplicated and doubtful.
but shifting will always be more pleasant if you accept that it is something that is genuinely easy to achieve. you don't need to "earn it" or work towards it. there's no need for mental gymnastics. all you're doing is moving your awareness from your current reality to your desired reality.
in simple terms, you are basically switching the tv channel you are watching. one second ago you were watching series x, and now you are watching series y. did it take a lot of effort to change the channel? of course not, all you had to do was want it and press a button, therefore the program changed instantly. your focus has now shifted from one series to another because you made that choice.
it's the same with shifting. all you need to do is know that you're just becoming aware of another reality, not creating anything new, because it has always existed. you're just moving your awareness there. and you don't even need to press a button or anything!
so i had been back home for about a week for my bsf’s graduation and it was a great time, but unfortunately i had to come back to my uni yesterday since school must go on, reality has hit i fear.
after arriving i went out with my school friend to grab lunch and just catch up and spontaneously on the way we decided to buy a space cookie, since there was a cannabis store nearby. we decided to share one and have lunch once the munchies hit.
okay long story short and getting to why you’re all here (surprised i have your attention but ty), we started getting sleepy and decided to head to her place to take a nap.
so we’re in her room and she’s setting up her bed for us to go and sleep. I’m sat at her desk with my head in my hands and i close my eyes to rest while waiting.
out of nowhere, everything around me is suddenly bright white, and in that moment I just thought to myself “hey, why not shift!”
and so i take advantage of this relaxed state I’m in and start affirming “I am shifting” over and over but I wasn’t firmly focused on a specific dr to shift to at that moment. i was still pretty out of it from the high tbh.
all of a sudden, i can no longer hear her, the sounds of the cars outside her window started sounding more like a waterfall and I’m hearing birds chirping, it somehow felt straight out of a disney movie.
so I decide, okay, I’ll shift to this mystical forest that I feel forming around me. idk maybe my subconscious knew deep down I just needed some peace and quiet from how crazy and demanding my cr life is ㅠㅠ.
i continue visualising and I am evidently there, I feel the grass on my skin, I’m laying down and oddly it feels super soft like cotton candy and I’m feeling the sun on my face and I was at such peace.
mind you i was sitting up in a chair in my cr and yet i was completely lying down when i shifted. i was still trying to ground myself fully but from my other senses from touch to sounds, i was evidently there, but my eyes were still closed (yes to ground myself as aforementioned but also quite frankly, that was genuinely such a relaxing moment feeling the warm sun on me and just basking in nature).
before i knew it my name was getting yelled and my friend kicked the chair i was sitting in to catch my attention and to tell me to join her to sleep lol.
i will say i have always been curious about what shifting high or drunk would feel like and i must say this felt great.
im not encouraging people to do this, especially my younger audience, i am simply sharing my experience. please do this at your own discretion. to those that do occasionally (or regularly) consume weed, please share your experiences too!
so yes, that was very fun, kinda wanna go back, it really was so peaceful, like I forgot my problems for awhile and so i needed that.
next time i do get high i will definitely try shifting again, but focus on my dr.
1. type out an entire storytime as if you just shifted
seriously, go into detail about your time there. what did you do, who did u see, as if you were JUST there. like ur about to send this storytime to ur friends. i swear everytime i do this i feel SO capable because i'm speaking about it as an actual experience, not something i'm constantly longing for/out of my reach.
2. act like you've already shifted various times
counter your doubts with it. eg "what if i don't shift tonight?" "ive already shifted before.. what's stopping me now?"
3. be so fucking delusional (this one is important)
as an avid manifestor/loa follower, being delusional is THE way to getting what you want. believe you are a master shifter. believe you are already in your dr. believe you control your reality. believe whatever the fuck you want and say fuck you to the logic that tries to debunk it. your brain doesn't know shit and will believe whatever you tell it, and soon the 3d will follow. and if you have a hard time believing at first(as we all do), fake it till you make it. pretend and persist, it never fails.
as always, take everything i say with a grain of salt. your shifting journey is personal to you and only you.
Princess Nathajia Augusta understands privilege. She understands why she has it, why her family has never been without it, she understands why her friends have it and she understands how long people all over the world, like her mother, work so hard to have it too. Nathajia has spent her entire life surrounded by luxury—silver spoons, jewellery of the finest golds and gems, garments made from the finest materials, tutors from various countries, countless palace staff, pet panthers and peacocks, bodyguards at every corner, strangers shouting her name—the list goes on. The point is, she knows that the wealth and abundance she grew up with are not accessible to everyone.
When she heard that her childhood best friend and crown prince of Auradon, Prince Ben, made a special request to have four kids from the Isle join his high school, Nathajia wasn't surprised. She always knew Ben had a soft spot for those kids—or maybe just one in particular—and wanted them to have a chance to live as freely as she did. But one thing Nathajia knew that the prince hadn't realized yet was that privilege can hurt those who don't benefit from it. Sure, his intentions were pure, but those intentions didn't prevent the chaos that followed. She was going to transfer to Auradon Prep, but after that fateful day at Ben's crowning ceremony, her mother decided against it.
To keep their children safe, Queen Tiana and King Naveen decided it would be better if they studied in Maldonia rather than all the way in Auradon City. The queen and king of Maldonia had been part of the 5 kingdoms who had voted for Ben's proclamation to proceed but even then, the unpredictability of those kids' presence had them worried for their own children. Especially considering the fact that they had dealt with unpredictable magic before, and it had almost cost them their lives.
But now, the eldest of their three children is ready for university, and the only school qualified enough at teaching her everything she needs to know about ruling a country is Auradon University. Although Nathajia adores her country, the crystaline shores, the citrus trees, the golden sun, the princess can't help but feel excited for what's coming at Auradon University. She misses her royal friends terribly. Ben had told her everything about the VKs and their adventures, and she can hardly wait to meet them. She's been trapped within her gilded walls of privilege for far too long, and she understands that it's for her protection, but you can't keep birds caged when they're meant to fly.
And fly, she will.

A/n: hello my beautiful shifters. This post was partially inspired by @miainbetween 's descendants intro post, I was literally staring at it for ages coz I had no idea how id make this post. I literally pulled all that writing out of my ass because a lot of the "plot" of this dr is unknown to me since its happening after the events of the first two films (the last two movies dont exist to me) so basically im just going on pure vibes here. There are some "plot" things that I scripted but that won't happen for a while. Also also, the student card is actually one of my favourite creations and im so proud of it, i made a whole bunch for the different Auradon kids I've scripted for my dr and i love them so much. I'll share them with yall if you wanna see 🙂↕️
Anyways, I hope you like, its been raining so very heavily in my city and my uncle just sent me an alert of a tsunami that might happen which is just amazing 😀 so pray for your girl. Im freezing but it doesn't matter coz I can just shift outta here lol. Bye for now. Happy shifting 🩷!
you aren’t shifting with law of assumption because you aren’t sticking with the story you say you’re gonna stick to! you see something in the 3d ONE time and suddenly throw your story out the window!! now the 3d is your true story! now you have to start over!! but you wouldn’t HAVE to start over if you just believed yourself over the FLIPPIN 3d!!!!!!! you just keep getting stuck in this stinkin loop of you deciding and undeciding! STOP 🛑 trying to find more things to fix. you aren’t broken. you CAN shift JUST AS YOU ARE but you have to stick to your story!! not the 3d’s. stop going back! i repeat:
i’m (mostly) a kpop shifter so i think i romanticize tf out of my drs bc i always script in that the industry is WAY less strict/stressful. like ofc im hyped i can date publicly and have friends of the opposite gender, that would get me burnt at the stake here!!!
