why don't you become a kpop idol? you are so handsome, senpai!

First of all, thank you.

Second of all, no. 

It’s not that I have anything against the Korean industry. It’s simply because I never did want to become an idol in the first place. I only auditioned in Japan simply because my coworkers wrote the resume and sent it in. Of course, I made it and essentially became known as the sexy French one, which is great. But it’s something I never wanted to do, so yes, I left and took a work visa to Korea and now I work here, in Seoul in a host bar. I really like what I do, and it gives me a lot free time during the day to essentially do everything else, like be a netizen and watch concerts, go to fan signs and stuff like that.

Being an idol is great for some people and I don’t discourage anyone but for me personally, I don’t see it as being a good time for me and for that reason, I won’t become a kpop idol.

how do you feel about kt rookies? are there any rookies you'd want to see brought to light that aren't already known?

I have one question for Katie Lee. 

WHERE ARE YOUR RAPPERS? 

Like, okay, there’s dancers and vocalists. Where are the rappers? I know I’m not one to speak since I was more of a vocalist (more like that one guy who was just attractive and spoke exotic languages.) Taemin is like no doubt one of the best dancers at KT and he absolutely deserves the spotlight. Aron does too, and like i’m excited for all the existing ktrookies, but it’s like okay. Jongdae is really great at singing and Jimin is absolutely adorable. But, I feel like I still want the rappers. I’m already sold on the kt boy group, just give me some great visuals and some rappers. 

doesn’t kt have two senior rappers that they got from the kt/royal contest (yes, i was there. no i didn’t audtion, before anyone asks)? Kang Minhyuk and Lee Seonghwa? I do recall one of the rappers won the rappers weekend, but like where are they now?  we haven’t seen them at all….like hell, I almost missed the rappers from the kt stage, would it not have been for the bright hair colors. But seriously, Katie Lee needs to let the seniors out of the basement before they crumble to dust. 

Someone else I’m really eager to see: watching the kt stage for samsung, there was a familiar face from youtube, johnny! I really want to see him as part of ktrookies. the existing ktrookies for the boys don’t have a central visual and I feel like Minhyuk or Johnny would fill that spot fantastically! 

Wow, I rambled on about the guys for so much. Please, stop me if that happens again, haha. In terms of the girls, I really want to see more of Momo and please let her stage name be Momo!  that would be so great. Peachy girl with a peachy stage name! I also want to see more of Luda, since I just didn’t get enough during the mgas.

Do you have convex bias now? Is Cheri your favorite Luxe member? How about KT eclipse? What do you think of them ??

I do not have a Convex bias. Will someone tell me who to stan? As a former idol and boy group member myself, I don’t really follow boy groups, but if someone tells me who is like the most worthy of attention in Convex, Ill check them out and see if they’re up to par! 

Cheri is still a favorite Luxe member, however, I do have two bias wreckers in Luxe. Ella and Xayah. As much as I love Miss Leader herself still with her incredible visual (*coughs*herbeautifulbody*coughs*), Ella and Xayah have officially inserted themselves into my bias list along with She’z and ChiChi. Yena is great too but honestly, do they have a main vocalist now that Celine has left? Like Celine was a grand visual and I was hoping to see her stick around for a sexier concept but who’s replacing the duo that left? Regardless, still love me some Cheri and Ella and Xayah are just biaswreckers (Stahppppp being so hot). 

Now, if you did read my blog post, I do mention that I find Eclipse a bit too cutesy. That doesn’t mean I don’t like them. I’ve watched their KTROOKIES debuts and that gives me a lot of hope for a darker concept and the potential that Eclipse has with the right promotion! So far, their debut has been buried and dead and it’s a bit sad because they’ve got some really great visuals. They have Audrey and Blue and Jennie and Minji! Like, so many stunning visuals…being wasted!

who's your favorite out of the trc girls?

Well, I haven’t deeply gotten into trc and their beautiful girls, but from what i’ve seen on their instagrams, they have some girl crush visuals a la GI. Global Icon was fantastic and I had wished that they didn’t disband, but there’s some hope for trc in a new girl crush girl group! From what I’ve seen of the TRC trainee stage, though….I can tell you immediately that there were a few that caught my eye. 

I really like Kim Yubin, she’s been at TRC for ages though, so I’m glad they’re finally letting her out of the dungeon. I heard she was a rapper, so please, I wanna see her rap! Yujin is really fabulous too. After all, I’m always a sucker for the model visuals and Yujin, as trc’s resident model, I think, could easily stand her ground as the visual of the group. I saw a few faces from the MGAs, which, I mean, i’m not surprised, but Sana? The girl is cute but I don’t really see her as TRC material? She seems more like Royal or Sphere style, but she could end up shocking everyone (Like i did when i debuted haha!)
