This may be ill-received, or it could go unnoticed by everyone, but I really wanted to give this boy some recognition.
He debuted.
He debuted!!!
He may take that back, but I will always remember today as the day that the mighty Beomhan finally made his debut.
I am not one of the stans that will never find any faults or shortcomings in their favorite idols and their talents. No, I have always made a point to be as real and open as possible. And because of that, I can say with confidence that Beomhan's debut single, 'Me Myself & I' is not what I expected, and that's okay. The rhythm pacing is kind of odd and consistent, giving a sound that is repetitive and not as hooking as it could be. The mixing feels raw and not in the way that you want. The camera work is a bit amateur, and the vocals aren't the best but he sings quite steadily and with feeling. There are shortcomings but there is something that billion-dollar budgets can't replicate, and that is the genuine smile on his face, the expressions in his dance, the time given to the backup dancers-his willingness to share his stage and important time, and the confidence that he has in his voice and body. He is a good dancer with quick moves and energy-coming from a trained dancer, myself. He has the visuals-GOSH HE HAS VISUALS and heaven knows, the personality to let him stand out like a light in a cave of the industry. I mean, this dude flips bacon with bread, how can you get any better than that-
Beomhan is insanely talented. And selfless.
He is such an aware person, never letting any of the hate or criticism go unnoticed. He is human. He won't have the best quality of music videos, he won't have the vocals of world-renowned idols, yet. He worked so hard to be here, now, and the mess of a company that he supported with everything really let him down in ways we couldn't imagine. He has come so far in so many ways, and he has struggled so much. He did well. He is doing well on this.
I'm saying that it really isn't an incredible debut, but it has so much heart and power behind it that it makes me prouder and more impressed than any other I've witnessed in all my stanning years. I loved watching the mv: I watched it at least 5 times, and streamed on spotify more. Not because I want to get him the streams, but because I enjoyed the song. I enjoyed the dancing. I enjoy watching him. He's an entertainer, and that's why I follow him.
Because of how he starts now, it leaves all the more for him to grow in talent and himself. Please, don't hate on his accomplishments but don't be delusional for the sake of false enthusiasm. There is so much talent that there is no reason for either option.
Beomhan, you have made me laugh and smile so much. You have helped me through some horrible times. You have made me so proud. You deserve so much. I hope you can be proud of yourself. Beomhan, fighting!!
