most of the sets are pretty minimal, but still effective and get the vibe across. red and black, imagery of an eclipsed moon, sooyoung standing on a high platform and sitting on a globe, what does it mean? the only mind that knows that is sooyoung’s, and she likes mysteries.
each of the girls have a matching heart tattoo on their finger. she’s got matching hand tattoos with eunji aswell. a lot of her tattoos are just various stick n pokes that she randomly did on her body, her favourite of which is the face on her finger. her favourite serious tattoo is the flower and sun on her forearm. sooyoung has the most tattoos in the group.

era highlights:
miss lee sooyoung. gabriella ashley lee. she SNAPPT
it was kinda unexpected she didn’t rlly talk abt it much she just uploaded a few pictures on instagram w a date and then was like “lmao here’s my mixtape”
also releasing it on 4/20 is such a sooyoung thing to do
every single track is completely written and produced by herself !! she hasn’t rlly done that before so everyone gets to see her style i guess ? some of her music is a lil weird but it slaps so it’s cool
along with the seven tracks there was a hidden one !! you have to buy the album to find it :)
honestly it was just so refreshing to see sooyoung do something she wanted to do it was great
she didn’t wanna record a music video at first but then she decided to anyway bc filming music videos is fun
a lot of the songs were like . depressing as FUCK like damn
i mean at least she’s in a space where she feels comfortable talking about her hardships and what she’s been through and her thoughts and feelings on all of it
the mixtape recieved a lot of praise because of that !
there’s still a lot of homophobic netizens that don’t like her but she didn’t address it at all . mostly
during an instagram live she went on a lil rant about how judging someone based off of who they love is stupid because like . it’s LOVE it’s a natural thing
and that got netizens more mad but she’s sticking to her beliefs bro
she had her sister on set with her it was cute :( their interactions are the cutest we love to see sibling banter in this house
sumin was so supportive tho fr she’s honestly really proud of her older sister
baggy all the way baby !! if you see her in something fitted it is 100% the stylist’s doing
oversized collared shirts are a favourite of hers , especially the patterned ones ! the tackier the better !!
she’ll wear skinny jeans sometimes but she prefers mom jeans all the way !!
one of her staple looks is wearing a turtleneck under a huge long sleeved flannel or any collared shirt really and rolling the sleeves up . gay
she wouldn’t be caught dead without her shirt tucked into her pants at least partly
also without her jeans cuffed it’s a gay thing go away
huge jackets and trench coats ? the best also
don’t ask abt the colour palette it’s literally everywhere
her shoes are always platform not matter where she’s going . the stylists put her in them too ! she’s so much shorter than the other members i guess 4 the extra inchesz !! platform sneakers , platform boots , she even has a pair of platform crocs
but when she’s at the dorm she’s wearing slides and socks all the time
her makeup is v minimal most days she puts on foundation and eyeliner and calls it a day
wears no jewelry unless it’s a gift . the only other stuff she’ll wear is chains n rings she always has like 10 rings each hand on
— a sleepy sooyoung reminds wendy how much she loves her
“wannie... look at me,” suyeong mumbled from her side of the bed, her hand resting on seungwan’s upper back near her shoulder.
seungwan hummed, peering over her shoulder, “what’s up?”
“you love me, right?”
seungwan sighed and turned over completely to face suyeong, “that’s a silly question. you ask me this almost every day.”
“...but do you?”
exhaling softly through her nose, she nodded and said, “of course i love you, why do you think i said yes to your cheesy valentine?”
suyeong chuckled a little under her breath, “i just like hearing you say that you love me.”
“i never ask you if you love me, do you love me?”
“of course,” suyeong laughed, i’m the one who gave you the cheesy valentine.”
calm nights like these were a favourite of suyeong’s, they’d lay in bed and talk until the light of day dwindled to nothing with only the moon and stars gently illuminated the open window above her bed. sometimes they wouldn’t talk, they’d just lay next to each other letting the darkness of the night consume them until they eventually drifted off to sleep. even if they weren’t talking, suyeong liked knowing that seungwan was next to her, her presence alone was enough to make suyeong feel about twenty times safer.
“can i kiss you?” she asked, breaking the silence. even though it’s been quite a few weeks since they started dating, suyeong still asked before doing anything, she was always asking to kiss her, to hold her hand, to play with her hair, and she kept it up even though she knew seungwan hadn’t ever said no to one of those questions.
seungwan waited a few seconds before answering. she knew the longer she waited to give suyeong the answer she wanted, the more antsy she’d get. it was cute. “hmm, yeah,” she finally responded.
suyeong smiled before leaning in to plant a gentle kiss on her cheek, then another one on her nose, and finally one on her lips. seungwan scoffed at how cheesy suyeong was, suyeong simply grinned in return. to be fair, suyeong was always cheesy, but sleepy suyeong is the cheesiest suyeong.
“i hope you know how much i love you,” suyeong mumbled, reaching a hand up to caress seungwan’s cheek.
seungwan smiled, saying “i do, you remind me every day.”
“but do you really know?”
“hmm, maybe not,” seungwan said, humouring her, “how much do you really love me?”
suyeong sighed softly, “i love you to the moon and back.” she said that line a lot to seungwan, but it never got old.
suyeong let her eyes linger on seungwan’s face, not taking her eyes off her beautiful girlfriend as she gently stroked her cheek. she liked to think of seungwan as an angel on earth, sent down for the purpose of spreading good and beauty, or something like that. but instead, she had captivated an unsuspecting girl named lee suyeong with her angelic beauty and kindness. now that angel was laying in bed next to her, with her face inches apart from suyeong’s.
suyeong had been won over by the angels, and she was completely fine with it.
Fruit Basket’s Sooyoung and Areum Discuss The Group’s Plans For The Year Through Vlive
January 24, 2020
Late last night, Sooyoung and Areum started a Vlive to talk to their fans and update them on what’s been going on lately, since they’ve been MIA for nearly three months. Areum explained that Fruit Basket took an extended break for the holidays, and now they were back and working on new stuff that would be up within the first half of 2020.
Sooyoung mentioned that their company, Starmaker Entertainment, was giving them a little more creative freedom this year, and her and Areum had been working on producing their own music. When these would be released was never said, but Areum did say that they were planning a comeback sometime around late spring. Fans have been speculating sometime around their 4 year anniversary, May 16.
With a spring comeback and possible solo debuts from two out of four members, this year is bound to be one to remember for Fruit Basket.
(+1384) i’m glad they’re finally getting more creative freedom!!!! they’re so talented i know i’ll love whatever they put out
(+938) may comeback and possible solos?? blossoms we getting FED this fine day
(+764) hopefully we get to see hyunmi and eunji make their own music someday too! i’m excited!
(+875) queen shit
(-275) why is it just sooyoung and areum? i’m seeing a bit of favouritism...
(-683) funny how the two most popular members are getting new music first. if this turns out like a jennie from blackpink situation i’m unstanning
sooyoung and jeongyeon’s relationship was short lived. fruit basket had just debuted and twice had just made their first comeback when the two met backstage at a music show in 2016. they became friends and started a relationship rather quickly, honestly probably too quickly. they didn’t hide their relationship well, and rumours started flying everywhere. twice was on a dating ban at the time, and fruit basket were just making their debut, so it wasn’t a good look. they both panicked, and broke up after the rumours started, and denied the rumours. they still remain good friends to this day, but they’d never consider dating again after that mess.
KIM NAMJOON — busy schedules
sooyoung met namjoon through an award show around late 2017. they were good friends at first, and eventually after his group mates convincing him, namjoon asked sooyoung on a date, which she accepted. they were lowkey and went on dates occasionally for the next few weeks. they never became official, but they had a mutual unspoken agreement that they basically were together. however, this was a time when bts were in the public eye basically all the time, and were receiving massive amounts of success. they were super busy, and they eventually came to the conclusion that they were to busy to really have a serious relationship at the time. they’re still great friends to this day and talk regularly.
WENDY SON — current fling
sooyoung and wendy actually grew up in the same area of toronto, but since sooyoung moved away at 11, they never really met, although if she had stayed then she’s be going to the same highschool as wendy. they met through different circumstances, specifically at a music event around 2018. their groups knew of each other and talked occasionally but were never super close until sooyoung and wendy started talking. it was obvious to basically everyone else that they had feelings for each other, but neither would admit it, until february of 2020, when sooyoung asked her group mate hyunmi to help her set up something for wendy that valentine’s day. cheesy, but sooyoung is all about that. on valentine’s day, sooyoung asked wendy to be her valentine, and she accepted. they’ve been dating since them.
