Lisa’s ideal type is generally someone older than her, as she feels as if they’d be able to protect her -- other than that she doesn’t quite have anything set and focuses more on personality than anything else. Her ideal celebrity type though would possibly be someone like Kim Yukwon, Seungri, or Seo Kangjun -- which is looks based only.
Tall OR Short?
Tall -- as Lisa is quite tall herself she’d prefer a taller man at her side, at least 5cm would be great, but better would of course be 10cm plus in case she’d ever want to wear heels.
Cute OR Sexy?
Since ‘a little bit both’ clearly isn’t an answer we can pick we’d have to go with cute. Lisa is quite cute herself, speaking in aegyo voices, jumping around as if she has eaten too much sugar, so having someone who’s cute and willing to be a bit ‘stupid’ with her would be ideal. Of course sexy is great, but it’s not everything. And cuteness can be quite appealing, too.
Long hair OR Short hair?
It doesn’t quite matter, she believes some guys can really rock long hair, while others can’t. Generally speaking it would have to be short hair, though. Maybe because it’s the norm.
Hoobae OR Sunbae?
Again, it doesn’t quite matter. But seeing as she prefers someone older than her it would be the sunbae, as the groups coming out usually have members born in 1999 ( some even 2001 ) up to 1995.
Long legs OR Pretty smile?
Pretty smile. A pretty smile is a wonderful feature to have, and it could easily lighten her mood to be smiled at by someone who has a wonderful smile, so it is an easy pick.
Commoner OR Celebrity?
Celebrity. It’s not because she really wants to date a celebrity in anyway, she just believes it may be easier. While they both will have schedules that get in the way ( other than with a commoner ) Lisa is sure that it may be easier due to mutual understanding of it having to be kept a secret. They’d also understand each other when it comes to nervousness before music shows, meeting someone they admire -- things a commoner may not be able to speak about the same way.
Banmal OR Jondaetmal?
Banmal. It’d be great to have someone who, despite possible age difference, can be spoken casually to without excessive of honorifics. It allows to be a bit more playful and gives her a feel of being close to someone, whereas honorifics make her feel as if she’s distant with someone, usually. Of course she’d still use ‘oppa’ if the situation calls for it -- when she wants something, or feels like being extra cute.
Traditional OR Nontraditional?
Again .. a little bit of both. Lisa has been in Korea for a while, but seeing as she is from Thailand she isn’t 100% used to the traditions in SK, while she learns a little more every now and then I believe a healthy mix of a traditional and nontraditional partner would be best. Someone who’s not too frighteningly traditional but also doesn’t brush traditions off completely.
Independent OR Dependent?
Independent! Someone who’s too dependent on Lisa would probably become a problem, it would cause a lot of issues as she may be too busy with schedules to constantly be there. Take aside that sneaking someone into the dorm all the time, or going to their dorm constantly would offer a challenge as well. Someone who’s independent can go about their life without Lisa being there, and she likes someone who is their own person.
Pale OR Tan?
It doesn’t matter. But tan will be picked as Lisa finds it pretty on people, it shows that they are active and get a glimpse of the sun often, making them appear very healthy.
↻ is it real that i only got tanned on the back of my neck ﹛...100﹜
Seaside limbs. Strawberry smeared cheeks. Sun peeking through bushels of palm trees- tall, not stout- to suck melon dew into his nape, his blind spot, it’s hickey lumbering oh- so close to his hair-line. Lens of Leica captures the proof in a variety of shots, cradled in small, porcelain hands that don’t belong to him- small hands that’d melted sunscreen from what should have been nape to the small of his back earlier.
“Seriously, who puts on lotion like this? Do you want me to look all blotchy—like a cow. Like a dalmatian?” Against Kibum’s warning, lavender hands missed a spot—his nape, leaving it out to be bitten by sun’s beam and all he can do is stare—almond eyes stretching half its size to define his bewilderment at the future Polaroid but he isn’t mad, oh no. No ill emotions can find him in Guam (they aren’t allowed), only laughter—not so crow-esque as usual, no--it’s a crescendo mocking the subtly rolling of waves the cliff overlooks or the fluffiness that embodies cotton swab pearls for clouds.
“Here,” Large hand spins like gold around his neck, the front. Companion’s brows are hidden behind tufts of auburn, but Kibum knows his power—the power of painting those brows up in two words or less. The contrast between two sheets of skin proves that perhaps the tan wasn’t inevitable. “--Is Kim Kibum.” Other hand draws attention to itself, skits to the side before he begins again;
“Here,” Nape is cradled, sun bitten skin juxtaposed. “-- is Lee Taeminnie.” Name is oozed in saccharine tone but joke is bitter, a dig at precious maknae’s skin color. No one’s there to scold his audacity, and so he snickers, and it’s the last time he (consciously) mentions work again. (The last time he mentions the ‘W’ word.)
It’s a sin, he half thinks (half because he’s let his brain go on vacation for once, too. Lets it fizz to the succulent, tangy pineapple that garnishes glass of Blue Hawaiian; he spills too much ketchup along the curvature of an onion ring and the belly of his burger), to be this happy. To be this truly, utterly happy. It has to be a dream to saunter atop cloud nine without a leg or two penetrating fleeting through, so he shocks his system. Dips too deep into crisp waters up to his waist. Up to his neck.feeling the sand’s accumulation between his toes.
↻ i’ve become addicted to coconuts it’s delicious ﹛ ...101 ﹜
Night in Guam is all constellations mapping velvety, pearl blotted milky way.
Night in Guam is still save for the oceans magnetism and the breeze it commands from the palm trees. Tangible silence suffocates outskirts of seaside island, tucking all those who inhabited in a down-filled duvet--( the one Kibum should have been under after kissing his umma and appa ‘Goodnight!’ ) Moonlight cascades between leaves of palm trees, falling like velvet along brunet’s sharp jaw. Warmth that’s rooted beside him is silhouetted courtesy of craning palm tree.
“--I can easily turn my attention away from you.”
“I doubt it. I have a lot of competition here. Guam is gorgeous. Coconuts are delicious. But you haven’t taken your eyes off me all vacation.” Kibum whispers matter-of-factly, smugly. Palm full of nature’s greatest innovation and his new found passion-- coconut pierced with a straw! The cult of coconuts surrounding him would agree unanimously.
“So you’re saying that my competition right now is that coconut.”
Kibum smirks knowingly, not pressed to do the other any favors- to give answers to the obvious.
Moon pulls the ocean in— almond eyes lull to eye candy. Gaze drinks up it’s essence, essence drinks up summer through a straw. Threatening to burst is a sharp and sinful quip on his lips--but then the moon pulls harder, stonger-- strings a lush gasp from peach tinged lips. Palate rejuvenates when crisp, saccharine taste of nature and summer and honey is irrigated into silken bliss. Acute appetence palpitates through his veins, chord struck, fingers of ivory piercing too deep into shell of viridescent fruit until it goes slack. Coconut water spills over the brim, swirls from peach to cusp of jaw.

SONG CHOSEN: Fake Happy - Paramore
WITH: @csyng
There’s a limit to how much a human being can handle. There’s a limit to how much a person can forgive. There’s a limit to how much a human being can tolerate elements they can’t bear, to begin with. There’s a limit to the times a person can shove down the excess in a cup already filled to the brim.
There’s a limit to go over the limit.
Seo Ah left earlier from work. She couldn’t handle it any longer. Every day was the same, each passing by with a blink of an eye and no difference. Work filled her agenda on a daily basis. No rest, no break, no fun-- Fun should be included in her work, of course. Who would want to work only to work? Unfortunately, it had turned out that way.
Squeeze a lemon and what would someone get? Lemon juice to satiate their thirst, but at what price? For the lemon to lose what was once a well-rounded yellow fruit. It would be the case to Seo Ah-- to some extent, of course. Who would want to be compared to a lemon, anyway?
Still, what had become the soloist after being squeezed? A state that surely not many people were prepared to see or hear.
Therefore, a smile was needed, to cover up what shouldn’t be seen.
But why was she doing such a thing? Wasn’t she allowed to be sad, mad, annoyed or even tired? Wasn’t she human too? Why did she need to go through an additional ordeal just to make things simpler for her?
And I bet everyone here is just as insincere.
Wherever she was at an intersection, waiting to cross the street, her eyes found a familiar shape on people’s face. The curve of the lips, seemingly glued by force. Wherever her steps went forward heading to a location that wasn’t home this time, she could tell some were as unhappy as her.
She then stopped, watching the scenery. The Han river was a view that could soothe a troubled mind temporarily. And Seo Ah needed it just as much as the passersby she saw earlier. She wasn’t alone, but what relief could she find in knowing she wasn’t? Everyone had its own little misery to deal with. She was no exception to the rule.
A long sigh slipped past her lips, her foot kicking the tiny rocks on the road. Just like the man on the bench drinking his sorrow away, just like the loners eating their emotions through music plugged to their ears, just like anyone she encountered with the unwanted socially acceptable smile on their faces... she was no different.
I bet everyone here is fake happy, too--
Seo Ah rested her chin on her crossed arms, using the rail delimiting the borders of the river as support. The thought wasn’t comforting. Even more disheartened, her eyes closed shut for a while, deep breaths heard. It was only after that she opened her eyes, blinking at the presence not too far from her.
The Advocate personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As members of the Diplomat Role group, Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.

Introverted 85%.
This is very accurate on Jaebum’s end. As much as he seems to be outgoing, it’s really mostly with his members and work related. He knows how to balance the two somewhat, but he’s an introvert at heart. Like the few solo v-lives he’d done, it showed that his personality is actually more quiet and shy than anything. He’s said before he has a difficult time expressing himself and opening up, so It’s really no surprise that he is an introvert. Despite coming off as slightly boring and kind of intimidating to the fans when he shows his true self, it’s really nothing but the fact that he is just a shy introvert through and through. A harmless one at that.
Intuition 75%
For this one it was actually a bit interesting, because Jaebum has been known to focus on day to day details and have a set plan for everything -- though it does make sense in a way. He does have goals for his group and for himself, so focusing on the big picture is something that I could see him having to do as a leader, which it does seem like he has showed signs of that in past things. Although it’s a bit hard to pinpoint when exactly he’s shown these qualities, since most of the time he seems more focused on the present more so than the future, but he has been known to have a set plan for everything, according to the members, mostly Jackson in a few different question and answers.
Feeling 66%.
This was the one that was the most surprising, since most of the time Jaebum seems more like the logical type, and he’s even show this in the way he thinks during their reality shows when he needs to solve problems. But, it can also be seen that his feelings do get in the way every so often. As much as it doesn’t seem like he’s the emotional type, he actually is. Which you’d be able to see in the way that he acts in regards to his parents, and in regards to the anger issues that he’s shown quite a few times in their appearances on shows. I’d say he has more of a balance between the both, but it does make sense that his feelings are more apparent than his logical side. He just isn’t very skilled in showing that side to himself.
Judging 100%.
Completely true, it’s not difficult to see this in Jaebum at all. It’s truly noticeable in everything that he does. In almost every single appearance and reality show, anyone can see that he approaches things and lives in a way that’s more structured. He has plans for everything, and he knows exactly what he’ll be doing on a day by day basis. He organizes his things as well as his schedules not just for himself, but for his members as well. It’s a very leadership type of a quality, which is exactly why he’s landed that role. He was born to be a leader, and the best leader according to his members and the person that distributed this test to them.
Turbulent 85%.
Jaebum is definitely someone that may come off as confident about everything that he does, but he is still someone that is concerned about how he’s perceived. It shows every time he says his goodbye speeches during fanmeets and concerts, how he’s always telling the fans that he will work hard to be the best that he can be. He’s always concerned about how he’s perceived, and how his group is perceived, because he knows just how easy it is for humans to make mistakes. He makes them all the time. A calm and collected exterior, but a worried interior.

Imagine being able to laze around for an hour or two, munching away at whatever substance one’s fingers could reach, watching a movie or televised programs...not having to anything. These little day dreams we have whilst in the middle of a busy day don’t always seem impossible, at least not for a nine to five employee. For an idol like Hanbin...those very dreams where just that; a dream.
Idols were always working. Their schedules were filled from AM to PM with the necessary duties to be successful. Spending time with friends, even making friends, was difficult. The longer an idol has been in the industry the more leeway is granted. iKON hasn’t hit the quantity of years required to gain those certain privileges and having his name signed with a company as strict as YG was definitely not helping. Lounging around was a holiday in their world and thankfully Christmas came early today. His present? None other than quality time with face of Twice...Chou Tzuyu.
“Once there was a Princess...”
"Was the princess, you?”
“And she fell in love.”
"Was it hard to do?”
“It was very easy!”
Snow White was a cute cartoon and just so happened to be the only thing worth watching at the moment. It wouldn’t have been Hanbin’s first choice out of the selection of Disney Princess movies. Although he rarely had the opportunity to spend much time with her, his little sister was in her ‘i want to be a princess’ phase. Therefore, all Hanbin could think of was wishing Hanbyul was there to enjoy the show with them.
“How come all girls want to grow up to be a princess? All they do is chase after a Prince and then they end up marrying them and staying in the castle with the baby.”
Sooyoung sighs once as she stares at her phone screen. Her fingers are tapping at it mindlessly, even if it’s not unlocked and she’s just staring intently at her lock screen. Partially because her puppies are just that cute, partially because she’s expecting a message and is afraid she’ll just not get anything if she puts her phone in her pocket. Time seems to be going backward, seconds seeming to tick away from noon, rather than towards it.
She had received an email from her manager a few days prior about a new TV show pitch where they would pair random musicians together, and that SM Entertainment had put her forward due to her skills as a lyricist. It was specified, however, that this would only come into play if the show actually went on air, for this, her and her - still unknown - partner would just have to pick a song, any song, and cover it as a duet. Sooyoung was psyched.
She’s counting down the last few seconds to noon, watching her email notification pop up mere moments after the numbers on her phone change to display 12:00:00. She presses down on the notification, hurriedly scans her fingerprint to unlock her phone and watches the email unravel before her eyes. Her partner's going to be... Im Jae Bum. She's somewhat familiar with the name, has listened to some of his group's music, but she's been out of touch for a bit and can't recall what company he belonged to again. A contact number is displayed underneath the name, followed by a café in Gangnam district where the two are supposed to meet up in about an hour or so.
It doesn't take Sooyoung long to ride her car to the location, making sure to find a table as far away from the window as possible, she couldn't use yet another dating scandal in her life, she's still not really over the Won Bin incident, and a meeting with a male idol's enough of a base for Dispatch to work off. As she waits for him to show up, she decides to send him a message over Kakaotalk, laughing softly to herself as she types and sends the words out.
[ kkt ; GOT7 JB ] Howdy partner!
get it? because we're partners now ㅋㅋ
let's sing a bruno mars song together, okay? I'm waiting to meet you! It's exciting, right?

OBJECTIVE: Dating is almost like a taboo within the entertainment industry. Companies forbid artists from dating, and fans dread the idea of their favorite artist dating. When a dating scandal occurs, it usually ends up hurting the reputation and fame that an artist has created for themselves. Sometimes it fully ends a career. Has there been a moment in your muse’s life that they have gone through a dating scandal that almost killed their career? How did your muse deal with the rumor or the truth coming out? If this is a past event, how has it affected your muse’s life from then to the present?
*** based on the real Changjo’s dating scandal with former BigHit girl-group member, Jiyeon of GLAM.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. At all. The relationship was supposed to have been kept a secret-- the company knew that he was dating Jiyeon of GLAM, but that’s where the knowledge was supposed to end. No one else was supposed to know about their romance.
And no one would have known-- Had Changjo not been so impulsive. Being the young teenger he was, he wanted to show his girlfriend off to the world. he couldn’t do so in a straightforward manner, but he could do it subtly. So he did. They uploaded pictures of them in the same locations in the same time, and used similar hashtags. Changjo had even made comments about how much he was looking forward to the weekend-- all hints about how he wanted to spend time with Jiyeon.
Of course, he wasn’t as subtle as he could have been. Either that, or the fans were more observant than he thought they were. Or maybe it was a combination of the two-- No matter the case, the truth was eventually leaked. ‘TEENTOP’S CHANGJO AND GLAM’S JIYEON ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP’ was the headline he saw whenever he dared search up his name or his band’s name. This was his fault. He really had been way too obvious. His fans weren’t happy. His management wasn’t happy. And his group members weren’t happy either. This event was bringing down their collective reputation, after all.
He thought it was going to pass. It had to, right? There was no way that they could be angry forever. But as the days rolled by, that didn’t seem to be the case. Changjo wasn’t allowed to make a public statement, and TOP Media refrained from speaking as well. This only upset the fans more. To them, it served as a confirmation of Changjo’s relationship.
And one by one, his fan sites slowly shut down.
He had never been one of the popular Teen Top members, and this was only hurting him more. Changjo was, for lack of a better word, unhappy.
In the end, he and Jiyeon broke up. Changjo couldn’t handle all the negative press he was getting, and Jiyeon hated being flamed by all of his fans. Not to mention, the negative news had affected their relationship rather adversely. They both didn’t deal with the news well. It was better to be separate.
Eventually, things did calm down. Changjo never managed to regain all the fans he had lost, and that would be something he would carry with him forever. He had learned his lesson, though. In his future relationships, he refrained from posting anything that contained even a hair of something that could be construed as ‘evidence’ that he was dating someone. It was better to be safe than sorry. At least he had learned his lesson while he was young. He had been only eighteen at the time of the scandal, and the backlash had left a mark on him.
There was absolutely no way he was dealing with something like that ever again.
