If you want a ramble about Jae, a ramble about Jae you will get!
On first night of really getting into Day6 content, I watched a lot of his vlog videos with a friend who first knew his vlog. And by end of his dance one, where he’s talking with BM how they both tried to look more like each other, he gives the surprised giggle and smile and my heart just?? Lurched somehow?? He was so cute and I just melted?? And that’s so rare a reaction from me, I legit went ‘oh shit’.
And it brings me to one of main things I love about him: while he is known as ‘meme’ and generally a funnyman, what really makes my heart go moosh over him is his genuinity. There is so much love and thoughtfulness in him, and love for his members and what he does.
In a video that got taken down, he spoke about how being on Weekly Idol made him realize flaws in his hosting style and next behing-ASC he asked Jimin how to improve and I just... He really is constantly thinking and judging himself, looking how to incorporate things that will make him a better person and worker.
Even recently, he spoke about his guitar skills as something that he finds more and more lacking by the day and will work hard to improve and I just?? Kind of teared up, because, honestly, it’s too cruel a judgement and he’s a great guitarist.
But I can never have enough of his laugh that shakes his whole body, when his whole face beams with delight when he gets what Sungjin is explaining to him or he loses it at general randomness and wackiness of his band mates. How he isn’t afraid to look silly. How he speaks about bullying he’s went through and what a tough battle it is to overcome, even years later. How he admits Korean is hard, but has improved so much (it gives me heartache how he is only confident when he’s joking, but never praises himself when he’s doing a heartfelt speech), how he lets others know how much they mean to him.
His tweets often hit where it hurts the most, among all the humor is a man who knows sleepless nights and pain of never feeling enough, but always wants you to know you are more than enough and to not give up. I can only imagine how much strength it took to endure 7 years as trainee, to be thrown in the craziness that was Day6 dynamics in early days. I really respect and admire him and everything he’s growing up to be. And his genuinety will always make my heart trip up.
This went longer than intended, but here you go!
Tell me who do you think is my bias wrecker and I’ll tell you something I love about him?<3
