You can find the master list of YEAR ONE of my kpop musings here.
It got too long, so I began a Year Two Masterlist because that is a totally sane and normal way to live in fandom.
Please block #storkhousekeeping so as to not have my updates clog your Tumblr scroll
heeey strawberry exol did a fantastic job covering jenkai but they missed a piece of info I think it’s worth mentioning bc it was just so iconic. jennie used to have a dog named kai and both her and the fans used to troll each other with that fact. after the news, she’d go live and talk about how much she loves spending time with kai or how she went on a walk with kai this morning etc (without a doubt realizing the double meaning) and fans would leave comments like “which kai though???”
oh and there was ofc that iconic anon submission on blind where an alleged former yg staff claimed jennie named her dog kai bc she had a huge crush on exo kai since predebut. 99.9% not true but still hilarious 😂
jenkai were just so…meme-able. the jokes fans used to do basically wrote themselves 😭
Ha!!! You know - Jennie has become so iconic at this point that she seems famous for being famous sometimes so I never knew she was funny?!? She sounds like a darling.
HELLOO?!?!?!?!
🍓 anon here. unfortunately idk anything about exo chanyeol being the tell tale of kpop couples, i wasn’t really active on twitter. he was the one always laughing and staring whenever jenkai were in close proximity, though, so it’s very possible it started then. and he did most of the pushing towards jennie iirc. kai looked like he was gonna punch him if they weren’t in public that one time so that “one annoying friend around your crush” vibe def checks out lol

Streets are speculating that Ateez are going to swap and cover each other's solos at the fanmeetings. If they do this, which member would you like to hear sing which song???
I think that depends on whether I want a "good" show or if I want just chaos, inclusive of horrified cringe (this too can be extremely entertaining if the performer is really into it).
Good show version:
Jongho does Mingi's - Jongho can rap and do all sorts of sound effects, and I want to hear him growl into the mike. Plus the level of skin exposure and freestyle dancing in Mingi's number would be something Jongho would probably be ok doing.
San does Seonghwa's - with Adrenaline's choreo and sound, San did a lot of shouty singing and very macho, tough movements. I want to see him get slinky. Also he doesn't mind getting nekkid.
Yunho does Hongjoong's - I just think he'd be able to get his goofball on and play around being a dorky DJ.
Seonghwa does Yeosang's - Seonghwa has the same dramatic flare and the ability to do a 'narrative' type of performance, and I want to see what he does with the 'I'll Show You God" bit.
Mingi does San's - Mingi does sexy a little differently than San, and I want to see him go very delicate, which I think San's is.
Hongjoong does Yunho's, as a challenge, and as a treat, because Hongjoong struggles a little bit with not making exaggerated faces, so the austere discipline of Yunho's choreo would help him improve.
Yeosang does Wooyoung's because they would have to put this song in a different key so Yeosang can actually sing it - he is alto to Wooyoung's tenor -and I think Sagittarious is a strong enough song to survive such a rewrite.
Wooyoung does Jongho's because I think Wooyoung's voice is pretty in a wistful way, and I want to know how that song sounds from a very different singer.
Chaos Version:
Mingi does Seonghwa's song.
Yunho does Wooyoung's song.
Wooyoung does Mingi's song.
Yeosang does San's song.
San does Yeosang's song.
Seonghwa does Hongjoong's song.
Hongjoong does Jongho's.
Jongho does Yunho's song.

jennie: starts dating a literal dance god

the memes, THE MEMES. oh, what a time it was to be a kpop stan 😭 thank you strawberry exol for bringing the memories back 😭
for 🍓 anon
hold on, is jenkai where the whole “if u wanna know who’s dating who in kpop, just watch exo chanyeol” thing started? was he the main instigator of the teasing or smth? years ago whenever we’d discuss dating rumours and ships, there always would be comments like “isn’t there a video of (insert male x female idol) with exo chanyeol near by?” or “where is exo chanyeol when you need him?”
so exo chanyeol was kind of yunho of ateez except for straight ships?
but of course this is a question for 🍓 anon
🍓 anon here. omg, i actually don’t remember anything serious about kai and taemin that made it to dispatch, related to dating?! the only thing I remember is dispatch saying they stalked taemin for months but got nothing bc he only ever hung out with his bestie (kai). and then some exols (international ones ofc) started “joking” it was bc he was gay (to go along with the eternal “taemin is gay, no straight man can be this androgynous” “jokes”).
i wouldn’t take matching clothes as a sign of dating anymore, esp if isn’t making noise on the k-side. idols today all wear the same brands and pieces of clothing and even off the clock the range of what’s trendy and acceptable to be seen in seems really small. jenkai still gets spotted wearing the same clothes occasionally but k-fans don’t bat an eye since they both are part of the same fashion circles. iirc they even shared a flight to an fashion event a couple years ago.
about the media play thing. it may work exactly as anon described, for all we know. it sounds insane, but then again, when has the entertainment business ever done normal?! i personally believe jenkai were real and sm/yg took advantage of them to distract the public from their internal messes (burning sun, lsm being on interpol’s list, etc). two things can be true at once, yk 🤷♀️
from 🍓 anon!
For 🍓 anon - wasn't there some thing with Kai and Taemin that made it to Dispatch as well? 🤣 Must have been a slow news week - I feel potentially not the most ✨️reliable✨️ of investigators, but I do love that the fans were just so locked in to a higher level of investigation than an actual news source!
Tbh, though, there was also a rumour that Jennie and Scoups from 17 were dating based on the fact that the people in the picture were wearing similar clothes(????) and only disproved when some sharp-eyed person went "his ass is not that flat" 😂😅

get thee away blonde demon nooooo
ok this isn’t really a response to strawberry anon’s latest lore but it got me thinking. if jenkai really was media play, how did it even work? like i’m not questioning it, i know media play relationships exist but like the logistics behind them have always seemed so…weird to me??? like in jenkai’s case, what? sm went to kai and told him ‘ur gonna be dating jennie from blackpink from january. go take her on a date so dispatch can snap a few photos of u’. and kai went ‘sure. i can also get her a few magnets from hawaii if u want since i’m gonna be there anyway’. like…??? 😭
