I’m not exaggerating Sticker by NCT broke me out of my panic attack at work today.

That damn flute really brought me back to reality…

[dojae-huh]

I'm not a fan of cowboy fashion/concept in general, but objectively the stylist for Sticker did an excellent job. In this my opinion hasn't changed since 2021. And the team responsible for the photoalbum did a good job at presenting the clothes, showing them from the best angle. A lot of attention was given to folds (arrangment of the clothes on the models) and preservation of the texture of the materials (lighting+rendering).

I kind of like the evident fakeness of the rhinestones. It goes well with "virtual simulation" theme.

Mark's star earring is the right kind of accent I'd like to see more of. It both fits the look (the colour pallete, the silver hat), and the theme (the sheriff's star badge, spurs with stars at the tips). And "he is a star".

Looked up the credits, it was Kim Youngjin. Here is his IG. Isn't it the guy who was shopping with TaeWooMark in Tokyo? He also styled all the recent solo projects for neos from 127.

nsf127? Not safe for what exactly? haha.

Oh, he did NCT2020 the space theme. No wonder I liked it.

He is very defined in his aesthetic: cold, sleak, refined, crisp, immaculate. Even a romantic concept is clean and crisp, heh. Not surprised he did Superhuman and America tour. Same cold, same cold.

Seems like JaeDo and Johnny were the first SM clients of his.

NCT 127 The 3rd Album ‘STICKER’

Inki’s sons

The hug in detail (start: 1:18).

Why JaeDo’s hug looks genuine and 2Jung doesn’t. Jaehyun looked at Do despite the latter talking into the camera and didn’t look at Sungchan despite a sure returned gaze (his eyes stayed on Sungchan’s shoulder level). Jaehyun didn’t connect with Sungchan as a person.

Jae started lifting his left arm even before he fully turned to look at Do. The idea to put his hand on his shoulder was formed before the turn (i.e. he was eager, it wasn’t an afterthought).

Doyoung wasn’t opposed to the hug, responsed to it, because he shifted his weight to another leg to fall closer.

1:29-1:33 - Look how Jaehyun shifts his eyes in few movements, paired with a timid pleased smile. When he becomes giddy he starts to act like that. 

1:57 - whatever transpired between JaeDo we can’t know because of the cut, but look how Do calms down his joyfulness by taking a deep breath. 

2:05 - the first nod was synchronized

2:10 - Do corrects his initial gesture to match Jae’s

Red Carpet, Speech, Doyoung being nervous

Good look today, commands attention.

Leeteuk was one of the hosts, heh. The same Leeteuk with whom Do hosted "My SM television” web programme.

And in the future it will be Doyoung to host the awards and call out some new SM artist onto the stage

The sticker incident

210930 MCountdow Encore

This is more funny than it looks.

- So Jaehyun-ie didn’t take stickers despite having pockets. 

- Jaehyun-ie thought Doyoung has his stickers and so pocked him across 2 people.

- Actually, it was Mark who had Jaehyun’s personal sticker (the one with the birth year).

- Taeil, Haechan, Doyoung, Johnny had their personal stickers in their pockets. Yuta had Taeyong’s (lol). Mark had Yuta’s. 

- Because Mark had stickers of members who stood far away from him, I think he himself picked up what was left on the table to distribute. 

- But Jaehyun-ie was sure Doyoung would take his for him? Heh. He puts too much faith in his bae.

By the way, if you look at the white strap on the floor and how far Doyoung stands from it, you’ll realise that Jaehyun walked past Do without bumping into him. Doyoung was simply startled by his sudden appearence before his face, Do got too focused on his singing part. 

[dojae-huh]

The Earth says: Part 1

The Earth Says It's S.P.O.I.L.E.R.1.2.7 (vlive)

These are ugly as hell clothes. The worst styling I saw in a while. Especially the trousers on Do (his poor round ass) and Yuta (who puts mic equipment inside like he did...). 

Also the filter is very strange. Does it get rid of deep shadows? Everything looks so washed out. The strange desaturated tone of skin, the black shirts that don’t look black. 

05:32 - Jae smiled at the prospect of Do acting cute.

05:42 - Do doesn’t miss the comments about Jae’s face looking crazy good.

09:12 - Yuta joked “Is this Doyoung’s solo (album)?”. Reminded me how he is a secret soloist Doyoung’s fan.

09:32 - Jae woke up from his slumber to comment on his bae working hard.

13:15 - Johnny accuses Do of not getting a ticket, while Jae smiles at his bae benefits. There were readers who insisted JohnDo have a stronger friendship than JaeDo, heh. During the times of JohnDo having lots of content. Welp, one got a ticket right away, another asks all the time and is still being ignored. Speaking of which, I do think Do is afraid of Johnny making fun of him, as he said once to Tae (?). He might be a good sport, but it doesn’t mean he likes to be laughed at. And the musical, as a new venture, something for himself and not the group, is very important to him.

13:18 - the story about the coffee from Jae. Do stopped himself, decided to not go too much into detail (did he want to comment on the stickers on the cans?). Johnny started to sing something. Haechan as the JaeDo club’s president smiled the widest.

Let’s note what is absent. Jaehyun did such a big gesture, and Do didn’t look at him, didn’t put his hand on his shoulder, didn’t say “thank you, I was really touched” personally to him. And Jae didn’t turn as well. Is it normal? No, not at all. 

Jae broke his mask for a bit. Shy puppy. People rub their noses when they are shy, because the capillaries widen, bringing more blood to the tip, and the nose starts to itch.

13:46 - Marks encouraged JaeDo to continue, Jaehyun to add something. Jaehyun stuttered, heh. Then laughed at himself. Shows his excitement paired with self-control.  

Fullsun is embarassed for you, hyung.

Now I wonder about Mark’s comment about Do wanting the coffee badly. How did he know? In what circumstances Do talked about it? It wasn’t in the presence of Jae, as Jae said “I sensed it”. What a choice of a verb, heh. Attentive much? Also, Jae said “at least once”. A nice slip of tongue. His words betrayed his real thoughts. What mere collegue thinks about sending food support several times?

13:59 - Funny, Johnny’s cover up was not for the case. “Usually, Doyoung makes a group chat to gather everyone to prepare smth for another member. This time Jaehyun did it.” Johnny wanted to say how Jae took care of Do who takes care of others, however, Jae did everything single-handedly, without the help of others (at least noone spoke up). The comparison is not precise (not naturally born from a direct association) and so hints at Johnny’s comment being said with a design. 

14:32 - Now it Woo’s turn to talk about Do and Mark sending him support. And the reaction of the members? Total disinterest. The MC job is as big for Woo as the musical for Do, Woo had never got any food support before, Do gave him his card... DoWoo or WooMark are not the resident couple to coo at though.

This is how interested neos are in the second coffee story.

Everyone became lively only when it was revealed that Haechan sent food as well. 

16:40 - JaeDo reacting energetically with clapping their hands. Were they both there? Jae usually doesn’t react to Woo’s humour like that. Anyway, they both shared a joke, it wasn’t just about Woo’s delivery.

17:10 - Do said that Tae was going to say a TMI about Jae next. It’s normal for him to move along things like this, but in this case it also his attention to Jaehyun-ie. Sometimes he ignores Jae so much, he doesn’t mention him without nesessety. 

17:15 - Tae’s TMI. Lol, he started with caution and still made a slip up. “I couldn’t sleep, decided to play a game, accessed it, and Jae was there, so we played together”. So far they could been on different floors. “And then we ate fried chicken”. Ooops. So Jae was on the 5th floor in the middle of the night? And what did he forget there so late? Haha.

Also look at Jae’s smile in the very beginning of the story (he soon fought it off). It’s not a smile to smile with about playing a shooting game. No, there is an inmix of emotions about something else. 

In the middle of Tae’s story.

What if Jae went down for the chicken? It wasn’t so, because Tae didn’t mention ordering the chicken and inviting Jae down (when we tell a story, we remember by connecting events in a chain, telling everything step by step).

17:37 - Do laughed at someone saying he would download the game (Yuta or Hyuk?). Quickly he calmed himself with exhaling. Again, not a proper reaction to a story about video games (Do has zero interest in them) unless he is tense (and he should be, because there is truth being concealed). 

And lastly, here is Mark looking at Doyoung right after Jae finished his speech about playing a game with Tae after a long time. 

Jae talks about Hyuk and makes a contact with him. What Do should have done earlier (and Do is the touchy one between the two).

Sorry, Jae, I can’t see any gradation, the filter erased the difference in hues.

- Yuta was confused about the burgers and consulted Do (gave him a questioning glance), so Do supported his story, Hyuk as well. Was it Jae’s burger? There is something being ommited, and Do and neos laughing about something.  

Doyoung, don’t forget about your cute image. Those teeth are scary. He even said “rrr”, haha. 

OK, it wasn’t for the fans, not deliberetly. He has a habit of releasing his frustration in funny outbursts like these. Helps him to make a switch, calm down his nervous system.
