What is verivery's lore? And if kangmin left verivery to be in ald1 would you have been sad?
so I def forget some of the lore, but verivery’s storyline involves evil dopplegangers of the members who constantly spy on them (and kidnap/replace Kangmin in multiple mvs), and try to kill them/torture them in many ways (for example in trigger mv, gyehyeon’s doppleganger tries to drown him, while yeonho’s electrocutes him in a chair, etc)
there’s also a sick dance battle in the lay back mv between real verivery and their dopplegangers (and in order to film this for the mv, verivery learned the choreography mirrored as well as the original which is hella impressive!!)
yes I would’ve 100% been sad if Kangmin had debuted in ald1, but ofc I would have fully supported him in the group. I would’ve been even sadder if the group disbanded or them going on b2p hadn’t brought them the second chance at performing they had wanted. in my opinion what ended up happening was my best case scenario; Kangmin was able to stay with verivery, and they also got a boost in popularity after the survival show

when you heard a knock at your door, you got up hurriedly. the clock struck almost midnight and you knew that the only thing at this hour your boyfriend needed were cuddles.
when you opened the door, you pouted.
ryo's eyes were almost fighting sleep, head bobbing down.
"ohhh my baby…" you whined and opened your arms. ryo dropped his bag on the floor, immediately falling into your embrace as if a magnet pulled him in. he rested his face in the crook of your neck, nuzzling his hair against your skin.
"tired" he mumbled and melted into your touch even more when you started caressing his hair gently "so tired."
"i know, baby. let's get you to bed then, hm?" you tried to move away a little but he instantly chased right after, rubbing his face into yours like a puppy.
"'m.. cozy… here…" ryo's voice began to slur dangerously and you knew that if he didn't lie down fast, he might as well pass out here.
"i'll give you all the cuddles you want. let's just go inside, okay?" you asked. a half-whine, half-hum left his lips but he didn't move away. in fact, his arms wrapped around your waist tighter.
so you manoeuvred his way back inside, hooking his bag with your foot. glued to you like a coala, ryo didn't let go for a split second though you slowly felt his grip loosen. when you raised your hand to lock the door, his head rolled on your arm. his weight bagan to send an ache in your lower back, making you realize you have been arching to keep him on his feet.
you led him to your bedroom and gently guided him onto your bed.
"pyja—" you started but ryo wrapped his hands around your neck.
"mmpfh. night night" he hummed and you just smiled. nuzzling himself into you once again, inhaling your scent, lying on a comfortable bed… ryo was out like a baby.
"my adorable cuddlebug" you giggled quietly, caressing his hair.
hmmm I got into them in january of 2023. I was watching mvs with one of my friends and she told me to put on their undercover mv. I’m ngl it was very much love at first sight with the blue haired one (who was gyehyeon).
their song o really solidified them as a group I was really interested in stanning because that song is so good. from there other songs like heart attack, trigger, get away, and the bsides on their series o round 3 whole album were just rly my vibe and I loved everything I was listening to. discography is really the most important thing for me when it comes to my ults, and verivery just has an amazing no skip one imo 🥹
you can’t mention verivery without mentioning their dancing. they are the most synchronized 4th gen boy group, and I believe they’re also the second most synchronized boy group after seventeen. their dancing is incredible and there’s not one weak dancer when it comes to the group. their teamwork is really admirable too
another thing that I think definitely factored into them becoming ults is their variety show belbel land/verivery land. now I have always struggled to watch kpop groups variety shows. for some reason they always seemed to bore me and I would feel intimidated when I saw 80 episodes that I needed to watch. even with txt’s to do or going seventeen, I’ve only watched a few episodes of each tbh. I’ve always preferred watching lives or vlogs or behind the scenes to variety shows which I know sounds a bit weird that lives would be more entertaining than a variety show, but it’s just what I like I suppose lol.
anyway all that is to say this is not the case with verivery and belbel land (specifically season 1). I have watched every single ep of belbel land and I’ve even REWATCHED every single ep. now what makes verivery’s variety show 100 times better than other groups for me? the editing. for season one, their editor was just popping off it’s so funny every episode. I’ve seen kinda similar funny editing with p1harmony or ampers&one variety content but nothing for a whole season of a variety show the way verivery did. with how much I enjoyed watching their content, especially variety stuff that I usually struggle to find interest in, I knew they were ults
there’s probably some other smaller factors that I didn’t bother to mention as much in detail like the fact that gyehyeon is probably my favourite idol of all time (fighting constantly for the spot with txt taehyun and onf yuto, but he wins at times), I really like their concept and their storyline/lore (from what I can remember/understand of it lol), and I really think they deserve to be more popular and receive more love than they have :(
I think they’ve only announced asian and europe stops for now? they had a usa fancon a while back and then they also did tour in the usa as 7 after series o round 3 whole was released if I remember correctly :)
Is irion a real group name like in Q's k-drama and did you like jaeha's group name was it boy to the moon remind me cause I forgot the bg and remember the girl's. Thankkksss :)
yeah I did see they released an mv for their debut song but I’m not sure how long they’ll promote for/or if they will
yes it was boy to the moon I think… and the fandom name was luna which I was saying was twinning with &team/lune <3
˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ LOSER=LOVER 🧸ྀི — boxer jiho feels like winning his matches is a guarantee for your love; therefore, his confidence shatters when he loses one ( word count 1,6k )

ੈ✩‧₊˚ note ! i love jiho sm u dont understand. ALSO this is a small collab with my beloved @slytherinshua who wrote boxer brian <3 plsplspls read it too, my baby slayed it!!!

jiho's breath was rapid, chest moving up and down furiously. his eyes remained sharp, brows furrowed, as he scanned his opponent standing on the other side. the yells and roars of the crowd anticipating the fight were a mere dull sound to his ear that were already used to it.
"hey?"
jiho snapped back to reality, the world suddenly gaining vividness.
his gaze softened when he realized you were talking to him, caressing his boxing gloves. the golden engagement ring blinged under the hard exposure lights in the pit.
"hey, jiho" you hummed, stepping closer. his trainer nervously checked the watch.
jiho straightened his back, muscles flexing. his oreo hair was tied into a small french braid, just before he stepped out from the locker (with you, after a quick makeout session).
"it'll be okay. you'll win" you whispered and jiho grabbed his gloves from you. his heart was racing faster than a wild horse through an open field. but you brought your hand to his cheek, calming him down. "i love you. just remember that you already are my champion"
"i love you too" jiho swallowed and those were his last words before his trainer, hwiyoung, stepped in. hwiyoung gave jiho his mouthguard. you stepped away, to sit on the benches.
jiho wasn't an undefeated boxer but he certainly gained more and more fame with each match. this boxing championship wasn't his first either, but there he was, in the finals. who wouldn't be nervous in any kind of finals? especially that a random newbie made it to the big league. jiho never told you but you sensed he was nervous about him. brian, who appeared out of thin air, suddenly started climbing up and up on the leaderboard in his first championship. it would scar his ego to lose to someone like him.
before you could realize, the fight began. your sweet jiho, who always kissed your forehead when leaving and carresed your leg when nervous, turned into a blood-thirsty animal on the rink. he was locked the fuck in, eyes laser-focused on brian. his abs flexed when dodging, tiny braid caught in the wind of movement.
their arms became a flurry, interlocking in a brutal dance.
you hated watching jiho fight because it looked cruel.
within a blink of an eye, jiho managed to jab brian's stomach. that caused him to falter for a split second: and that was enough for jiho to swing a left hook at his opponent's jaw. that made him fold again and the next series of attacks was just a domino effect, which soon enough led to brain on the ground. jiho's knee twisted into brian's back, hand holding down his head. brian's face twisted in uncomfortable pain and the judge started couting seconds.
jiho won the first round.
you let out a shaky breath that you didn't realize you were holding.
jiho looked at you briefly and smiled.
now three more.
with the start of another round, a switch must've flipped in brian. he started moving like a snake, jabs biting jiho's body one by one. your throat went dry with each punch your fiancé received.
when jiho fell flat to the ground, you looked away for a split second, unable to watch how his face twisted in pain. your nails dug into the palms of your hands, leaving crescent moons as an insignia of your anxiety.
you didn't care if jiho won or not; well, sure, you loved celebrating his wins with him and seeing how satisfied he was when all those hours put into training finally bore fruit. but you despised the physical pain that came with it, no matter the score.
the round came to an end. you searched for jiho's eyes, wanting to show him that it was okay.
but he turned his toned back, facing away from you.
he was visibly shaken by the sudden change of score and it got to his head. the next two rounds were a total fiasco, bruises and blood blooming on his body like splotches of paint on plain canvas. he was still trying, fighting aggressively. but emotions took over, he wasn't thinking strategically and brain seemed to take advantage of that.
your sight became blurry, heart aching with pain.
when the judge announced the winner - brian - jiho glued his gaze to the floor. blood trickling down his chin, head hanging low. in embarrassment.
jiho left the rink, boos echoing in your ears. you caught a glimps of brian swirling someone in his arms, all cheerful.
"y/n, wait in the car" jiho mumbled coldly, quickly disappearing with hwiyoung in the locker room.
hwiyoung decided to give you two a lift and the whole ride home was silent. even after you arrived, hwiyoung asked you to go home while he chatted with jiho.
it took them a while. you managed to make the bed and prepare a light meal for jiho to eat. you could swear you heard them arguing and your assumptions were confirmed when jiho came back, slamming the door.
"ji…" you started.
"i'm going to take another shower" he grunted and before you could reply, he was gone. you walked up to the bathroom door.
"hey, ji… i made you food. take as long as you need and then we'll talk, okay?" you asked quietly.
on the other side of the door jiho was fighting tears, fingers digging into his wrist.
"if you need anything just… i'm here, okay?" your voice was weak, filled with worry.
just when you turned away, the door opened and you felt a sharp pull on your wrist. jiho spun you around, hands wrapping around your back. his head dug into your neck, his whole body shaking.
he has never held you so tight before, as if scared that you will run away.
"jiho, baby" you hummed, softly hugging him back. he took a long, shaky breath. "it's nothing—"
you felt his body tense. you stopped speaking when you felt him slip away. his brown eyes pierced yours, cut bottom lip shaking.
"nothing? i just lost a championship to some… fuckass newbie!" he grunted, his adam's apple bobbing.
"sometimes you have to lose to learn from your mistakes. it's a bitter lesson but it's better to learn it now than later, jiho" you spoke softly, reaching for his hand.
he allowed you to grab it, not pulling away.
"it's… it's not about that. well, it is but—" he let out a frustrated sigh, his other hand running through his hair.
"no matter the score, you tried. you trained, you kept fighting. you already won in my heart—"
"don't say that!" jiho growled and turned away, angrily walking around the room.
"what? jiho, you surely don't think that i would leave you after one lost championship?" you choked out, shocked.
the silence was your answer.
jiho sat down on the bed, hiding his head in his hands. his arms were ever so slightly shaking and for a minute you just stood there, unsure what to do.
"jiho…" you whispered, carefully walking up to him. sure, you fought a couple of times before but this was different. this was jiho bearing his most vulnerable self to you.
when you were close enough, he hesitantly wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you to stand between his legs. head hiding, cheek pressed agaisnt your stomach. you started softly undoing his braid.
"i won't leave you, jiho" you said, his hair falling loose on his shoulders. "i don't know what's going through your head but… you don''t have to prove anything to me by winning those matches"
you heard a sharp sob, and something told you that you just hit the exact spot.
"no, i do. who am i if… if i can't win shit? i don't want you to think of me as weak, both physically and just… a weak man, unworthy of you and your love"
you felt a sharp pang in your heart, fingers running through is locks in a comforting motion.
"jiho."
your hands traveled won to his face, gently grabbing it and forcing him to look at you. his bruised face and tear-filled eyes made your heart rip in half.
"no matter the scores in your career i will love you for you. not your losses, not your wins. if you win a cash prize, we will celebrate, if you get punched in the face, i will take care of it. if you ditch this career path, i will walk with you nonetheless. because you are what i cherish the most" you hummed, caressing his cheek gently. jiho's skin was littered with wounds, hoarse under your touch.
he swallowed hard, hand coming to wipe his tears.
"it's okay to lose and get emotional about it. it will be okay." you reassured him, your finger nudged his lip.
"i love you" he muttered, leg suddenly bouncing nervously. "i'm sorry i- i reacted like this, i'm really sorry"
"it't okay" you repeated and tried to loosen up the mood "let's get you patched up first, okay? i just can't bear myself to look at you like that"
he huffed, rolling his eyes.
"last time you said it made me look sexy"
suddenly, he pulled you in, rolling on the bed. you were towering over him, hair dangling in his face.
"well, now it makes you look like a kicked puppy" you giggled, tucking his hair behind his ear.
jiho stared at you for a while, hands creeping to rest on your hips. he squeezed them gently, expression turning lovesick.
"thank you. for everything" he breathed out.
and with the professional strength of a boxer, he rolled you again, pinning to the bed.
"before you nurse me, can i kiss you?" your fiancé asked, excitement glittering in his chocolate eyes.
"yes, baby. just be careful because the cut—" you were interrupted by his lips on yours, the salty taste of dried blood and your chapstick mixing together.
