yo tell me the back story of chensung meeting each other bc I just read ur post n nearly cried like I had no idea
tumblr dot com user parkandzhong’s legacy lives on ....
chenle (as u might be aware) was a child prodigy, he performed at a lot of events as a soloist, and collabed with a lot of other kids as well. jisung was also a (kinda) child prodigy (as in - he’s been dancing since forever). there was an event on may 2nd (children’a day in south korea), the event was in beijing, china. jisung was there to perform a dance cover of gangnam style and chenle was performing “you raise me up” with two other kids. jisung and chenle ended up sitting next to each other and talking, they’ve even mentioned this before in more recent interviews and videos. jisung taught chenle the first korean word he ever knew (“hello”) and chenle taught jisung a little bit of mandarin (no idea what word, but i imagine something along the lines of hello as well). apparently they bonded because they had the exact same ipod/iphone. (they talk about it in this episode of chenji this and that). this is why jisung very frequently states that he was chenle’s korean tutor (and still says he is). there is a photo of them together that was taken from this event, but it’s funny looking at it now and knowing how they ended up not only at the same company, but in the same group. they’ve truly grown up with each other.
