♡ HAPPY HYUNGWON DAY ♡
wishing the happiest of birthdays to hyungwon, who is still mid-comeback week and likely will have! very little time to relax because of their whirlwind schedules! nonetheless i hope he snatches some moments to do what makes him happy, that he’s smiling all day, that the people around him make him feel extra special amidst all of the hustle and bustle. :’)
quick cc note: ah well we all know how this goes right!! i don’t know how obvious this is, but for as quickly as kihyun cemented his status as a resident of my heart, hyungwon was barely a step behind. and like. i simply accepted it. i was like. ah yes. this makes sense. (it didn’t! he’s not my usual bias type at all. as opposed to minhyuk, who IS, and who i fought tooth and nail.) it was like. what. was i supposed to say NO to this silly lanky string bean of a man who is so endlessly graceful onstage and then. regularly falls over his own feet when he isn’t performing? absolutely irresistible imo.
[enter brief delusional paragraph im so sorry] ok. in the most normal way possible. if u were like. megan who in monsta x do u think you would Actually be good friends with. hyungwon is the obvious pick!! and the reason i think this is. a) infps tend to get along with other infps and i think our energies match well. b) i would go get seafood with him all the time so kihyun doesn’t have to. c) on a worldview level i am nearly perfectly aligned with minhyuk and as we know hyunghyuk are soulmates! in conclusion i just think. we would get along. in my mind hyungwon is my friend. let me have this!! okay. end delusions.
because it’s his birthday... and bc you all know it already, i’ll admit once again that hyungwon is my absolute favorite mx producer. (shh don’t tell the others!) the sheer DRAMA in most of his songs and the way he writes so compatibly with kihyun’s wheelhouse is so <3 to me...... but like. genuinely, every time i see his name in a song’s credits, i KNOW that it’s going to be one of my favorites on the album, no exceptions. (by the way, spotify code in the second panel is active and goes to a playlist of his songs! i’ll keep it current.) i love the progression of dj h.one (MY BELOVED) to producing songs for his group, and even outside of his group!
hyungwon i think more than any other member has really come into his own in the past year or two, and it’s like. really lovely to see. he has always been charming and handsome and he has always had a smile that could knock you right off guard, but lately he has been brimming with confidence! (which. i love.) it’s in the way he carries himself, the way he’s so much more sure-footed and is just comfortable in his skin. i really admire the way he’s so steady. i think his personality, while so incredibly endearing and often playful, is maybe less flashy than some others in the group, but he is still such a force to be reckoned with. i think often of that interview he did recently, where a fan talks about feeling like it’s too late to try learning new things, and he rebuts that notion firmly, talking about how he himself was a “late” bloomer in so many things in his life, but that there’s no such thing as TOO late, as long as there’s a willingness to learn. i’ve been carrying those words with me, have held them close and reminded myself of them whenever i’ve felt myself shying away from starting something for fear of not being good at it right away, for fear of being “behind” everyone else.
i’m really happy that he seems to finally be getting broader recognition. i know that he doesn’t need outside validation really, and that he’d be just as happy as long as the group was doing well, but he deserves the millions of views on his my alcohol diary episode, and he deserves that drama gig, and he deserves to be getting invited to luxury brand events left and right! he deserves the korean gp falling over themselves to talk about how handsome and kind and wonderful he is!!
i think 2023 is going to be his YEAR. he is riding momentum, he is catching fans left and right, he is, as i said, brimming with such energy and confidence and i cannot imagine a world in which that energy isn’t returned to him. i think so many more opportunities are going to come to him, and i’m looking forward to seeing what he chooses to do.
but career advancement aside, chae hyungwon i hope that you continue to love what you do, and that you get time to rest at some point, hopefully soon! i will always be rooting for you, i cannot wait to see what the future brings. at the end of the day i hope you are happy, i hope you are laughing and smiling more often than not, i hope that you get your introvert recharge time as needed, and most of all, i hope that your wishes, whatever they may be, come true all of this year and beyond.
