#leader jungwon

[siyalogue]

I don't really know how to explain this properly, but over the past month, I've grown to love Jungwon in a way I can't even put into words.

It's not like I didn't admire him before. I always knew he was a reliable leader, especially at such a young age. I knew he was talented, hardworking, and someone the group and fans could lean on. But something about this past month…it changed the way I see him entirely. My respect and adoration for him haven't just grown, they've multiplied in a way that feels overwhelming even to me.

Because now, I'm not just seeing Jungwon as a leader or an idol. I'm seeing him as someone who is trying, desperately, and consistently while carrying so much more than he ever lets on.

It's so painfully obvious that he, along with the other members, is under immense pressure right now and what hurts even more is knowing that they barely had time to process the fans' reactions to everything that happened. Even if they knew about Heeseung's departure beforehand, that doesn't mean they were prepared for the emotional aftermath that followed.

And yet…they still showed up. They still came online, they still spoke to us, they still tried to comfort us when, if anything, they probably needed that comfort themselves. (I genuinely wish belift had given them time to breathe, to process everything before pushing them back into the public eye.)

But even among all of them, Jungwon stood out to me in a way I can't ignore. He's been so present, so consistent, it feels too idk what exact word to use but…intentional maybe?

The number of lives he's done this past month alone says everything. It's like he's trying, again and again, to reach out, to close the distance, to make sure we don't feel alone in all of this and it's not just the lives, it's the little things too.

The way he says he misses us, the way he mentions he's thinking about us, the way he keeps showing up, even when it must be exhausting. How do you not fall for someone like that? How do you not feel your heart ache a little when you realize how much he is giving, even in a time like this?

And maybe that's why it hurt so much to see the hate directed at him because genuinely…how? How can people look at someone who is trying this hard, who is carrying himself with so much responsibility and grace, and still choose to tear him down? The things people say, the way they twist his words to fit their narratives, the judgements they throw around so carelessly, it's honestly astonishing in the worst way possible.

It made me realize something, though, that sometimes, the people who are holding everything together are also the ones quietly breaking under the weight of it all. We just plast the "you are a strong person" tag on their shoulder and leave them to deal with it. And Jungwon…he's holding so much right now.

Which is why, somewhere along the way this past month, I developed such a soft spot for him that it almost scares me, not just admiration, not just respect but something deeper, something protective, something that makes me want to shield him from all of this, even though I know I can't.

I just…love him truly, and deeply (lowkey I don't even think love is the proper word to explain what I am feeling but it's the closest ig), and I hope (more than anything) that he knows he’s loved just as much as he's trying to love everyone else.

Sometimes when I get his weverse notification I quietly mumble "you should rest instead, it's your free time afterall" but then I remember I'm no different, he said a couple days ago (or yesterday, I don't remember clearly) that he couldn't sleep so he is online. I will wish to the water fountain to ease his anxiety and worries so that he will be able to sleep well.

I love him down bad.

Enhypen at Graduation rehearsal (because I graduated 😭👩🏾‍🎓)

Heeseung

He’s here a few minutes late, toast flopping in his mouth

It’s 92 degrees out and he’s still not sweating

The two of you walk in and sit with the rest of your friends

You and him try to pay attention but the teacher keeps facing the bullhorn in the opposite direction of the students so you give up and chat with your friends

“Bro what if you trip while getting your diploma?” He says to tease you

“Shut up I’ve been stressing about that all day”

“Hey don’t worry I’m sure your 18 years of walking practice won’t fail you now!”

You walk to his house and chill with his family

Jay

Still somehow dressed in his signature style while you showed up in pajamas

Picked you up so y’all could get breakfast and you two also had lunch plans with some friends

He’s listening intently while fanning you because you’re wilting from the heat

Buys you an ice cold water bottle and cranks the ac up before you go for lunch

Jake

Picks you up with an iced coffee and pastry in the back seat

You eat and listen to throwback songs and feel nostalgic

Makes you wear sunscreen before leaving the car

Pulls out and electric fan halfway through rehearsal and fans the both of you

Y’all go out for ice cream right after

Sunghoon

Picks you up even though you live 5 minutes away from the location

Gives you a little package of cold water and snacks for the two hour rehearsal

You don’t get to sit together because he’s a class officer and is sitting with the other class officers

He makes up for it by taking you to your favorite brunch place after rehearsal

Sunoo

Y’all are neighbors so he meets you in your front garden and you walk to rehearsal

You and him share a water bottle because he forgot his but he brought the electric fan so it works out

Barely paying attention to the rehearsal because you can’t hear a thing, you and Sunoo’s friends decide to make plans after

Finally it’s over!! The two of you leave not knowing anything about how you’re going to graduate but you two have a great time with your friends

Jungwon

Meet up with him earlier than everyone else because he’s the class president and won’t be able to sit with you for the entire rehearsal

You both bring each other waters and snacks as a surprise

Rehearsal is long and boring but you hang around 20 minutes after and wait for Jungwon who’s practicing his speech

The two of you buy a bunch of snacks from the convenience store and have an indoor picnic at his house because it’s too hot to be outside

Ni-Ki

He meets you inside because he was late, finishing a game of FIFA

Brings you chocolates to make up for being late but they’re melted

Uses his hands to block the sun from your view for the entire rehearsal

Invites you for a game of FIFA right after

I've been so inactive for the past months. Yesterday I was finally able to get updated with Kpop stuff, and for those who missed the biggest EN— related announcement (like me), I want to take this opportunity to tell everyone that EN— FINALLY HAS A LEADER, AND THE YOUNGEST ONE AT THAT: YANG JUNGWON!!!! 👏👏👏

THIS BABY OMG.

I watched the video regarding the leader announcement, and I just want to talk about a few things. Mainly my opinion and take on Jungwon being the leader. 👇

I was not expecting Jungwon to be the leader. The only two (used the word only to emphasize the fact that it never crossed my mind that the other members could qualify as leader material) persons I thought that would be chosen were Jay or Heeseung considering Heeseung's age and leader-type personality, and Jay's control and discipline over the members.

I don't have any objections to Jungwon being the leader. Sure he's young, but 16-year-olds can be leaders too. With the help and guide of the older members, and with confidence in himself, he'd surely make a great leader.

I also love the fact that the staffs did not want to put too much burden on Heeseung's shoulder. They were thinking of what's the best for the group, and of course, a leader who has too much weight on his shoulders may affect not only him, but the rest of the group.

I'm sure EN— will help each other out, especially Jungwon. Time can only tell whether he'd become a good leader(which I'm sure he WILL BE) or not.

PLEASE let's all trust in him and in EN—

Some of you may have doubts, but I know almost all of us are happy about this news. Let's be patient and support them with all our hearts, and watch Jungwon become a leader that the members and ENGENEs would be proud of.

[nmixxedquotes]

Jungwon: I keep a picture of all of us in my wallet. Whenever I face difficulties, I take it out and stare at the picture.

the members: Awwww~

Jungwon: And I tell myself "If I can deal with these idiots, then I can deal with anything."

the members: Oh.

Adventures of a Hybe intern📋🖇🖊

Enhyphen edition pt.2 (not necessarily romantic can be interpreted however 😊)

Jungwon 🥋

Pressing out the few wrinkles in your blazer, you fix your hair one last time and walk into the interview room. Inside the bright room, your boss and Jungwon are seated in comfortable chairs. The third chair in the room belonged to you, forming a triangle. You bowed politely to your boss and your guest, receiving a bow from both of them, and took your seat.

“Okay so I will be conducting most of the interview, and then my intern here will conduct the last few questions for their final evaluation. I will also be leaving the room to take any pressure off. Shall we begin?” Your boss asks after explaining the format to both you and the idol across from you.

“Yes I understand,” he says politely, “I’m sure that you’re a great interviewer,” he replies. You notice that he’s pretty good at eye contact and that relieves you, thinking that even if it gets awkward you won’t be uncomfortable.

“Alright I think this is a good time for me to stop and let y/n take the reins”. You nod and give your goodbyes as she shuts the door behind you both. Your evaluation, being based on how well you can carry a conversation, is solely graded on what you can get out of your interviewee. After analyzing the last few questions as well as his responses, you felt like he could give you more.

Clearing your throat you start to speak, “Would it be weird if we introduced ourselves again?” you ask laughing. From now on you wanted a more relaxed interview, so you thought that establishing a small friendship with him would help.

Chuckling, he responds. “Sure that would be fine. My name is Jungwon, 19, the leader of Enhyphen. And you?”

“The name is y/n, 19, and I’m just your regular Hybe intern. Thank you for humoring me,” you respond.

“Wow, I've never met a staff member my own age! You must have been better than regular to land an internship here. And the fact that you're receiving a final evaluation means that you’re being considered for a real job here?” he asked, making sure to keep eye contact with you. You laugh at his compliment, but your heart also stings when you think about it.

“Actually I’m not really anything. I was a trainee just a few months ago until I suddenly needed a job. Belift was kind enough to give a paid internship and now a job if I do well enough on this evaluation,”. You’re not exactly sure why you just said that, but you chose not to regret what you couldn’t take back. Looking up from your clipboard you’re met with those kind eyes again. Somehow he was saying very much with very little and you were grateful for it.

“Well, I hope that you can get back to your training soon, but I’m glad you’re still here! I know how important it is to chase this dream as soon as possible,” he replied slowly, thinking critically.

“Thank you. And thank you for that amazing segway into my first question,” you say. “This would be your third comeback interview since your debut. Ehyphen has been thriving with you as their leader and you, specifically, have been nominated for ‘best leader’ in multiple online polls recently. How has living your life as a seasoned idol been for you?

Jungwon smiled at your compliments and fiddled with his hands while he thought. You could already tell that this question was something he actually wanted to answer and you smiled at yourself.

“You know, it feels the same but different. We still get up and practice everyday, work on our vocals and dancing. Some of the members have started working more and more on lyrics and production, but it’s still like when we first debuted.”, you nod as he speaks and write down his words as accurately as possible, “I will say that as we grow, there’s more confidence.” He ends the statement there but you try to dig deeper.

“How so?”

Jungwon stared up at the ceiling for a moment and then got back to talking. “When we first debuted we tried not to have any expectations. Sure we had dreams and goals, but sometimes they don’t always go to plan,” he looks at you with a little bit of pity. You didn’t love getting that look from people, but you understood that he probably felt sorry for you even if you necessarily didn’t. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings about dreams and goals and stuff,” he says.

“Don’t worry about it”, you assure him, “I’m not easily offended and besides, that was some good advice you were giving so don’t stop on my account,”. He let out a breath of relief and continued answering the question.

“When ‘Given-Taken’ dropped we didn’t expect it to get more than two million views, but it did. Same with ‘Drunk-Dazed’, we were still hesitant to think that it would succeed but it did! And so did our other projects. So when I say confidence I mean that we know that our work is being appreciated by our ENGENE and others, so we do have that new level of confidence as we age as artists,” he finishes.

“That was a really great response! Your fans will be glad to know that you have more confidence in the work that they love so much!” As soon as you mentioned a happy ENGENE his face managed to light up even more. You took a small note of that, hoping that it would be used in the comeback interview magazine.

“Yeah, I hope they know that it’s all because of how they respond to what we put out that boosts us every comeback,” he replies softly.

“Thank you for meeting me for your final evaluation. Don’t be worried, you did great,” your boss says as you take your seat across from her.

“Oh wow thank you so much! So this means that I get to stay, right?”

“Oh yes of course you can stay! That evaluation was more of a formality than anything but you really did amazing. So good that Jungwon recommended you to the rest of the members,” she said enthusiastically.

You froze from shock and excitement. This job wasn’t anything you really ever dreamed of but you’ve always loved being good at things, and talking to idols about how they’re living their dream inspires you not to give up on your dream of being on the same stage as them. Waking up from your own thoughts, you thank your boss once again and walk back to your office with the other interns.

Opening your laptop, you get a notification from weverse and see that it’s Jungwon’s article. The title read : “when I say confidence I mean that we know that our work is being appreciated by our ENGENE and others, so we do have that new level of confidence as we age as artists,”. Smiling, you click out of the notification and get to work.
