Our challenge series is back with a fifth installment!
Challenge #5 Theme:
A celebration of all things Minjung! In any pairing (or none at all), and in any scenario, we are looking for fanfiction focused on Minjung!
Challenge #5 Prompts:
Body positivity
trans!Minjung
nb!Minjung
Experimenting with pronouns
Minjung with another girl!ee member
First real crush on another girl
Minjung as captain of the women’s soccer team
Minjung buying a pair of heels for herself just to tower over Jonghyun/Junghee even more than she already does
Guidelines:
The challenges are open to all fanworks: fics, art, graphics, etc. Gen or ships. G through NC-17.
Regardless of Minjung’s position in the pairing (should you choose to write this), we are looking for works which highlight the feminine, masculine and submissive aspects of their personality, with particular care to show a view of them which defies the heavily masculine stereotype. It also has to follow the theme of this challenge.
You can submit your entries directly to the blog or tag them with #subminho challenges. It is also helpful if you tag us in it as we will be more likely to see it faster.
With respect to this challenge in particular, we ask that you please be respectful of gender identities and do a bit of research if you’re not sure if the language you are using is okay. We know you wouldn’t be transmisogynistic on purpose, but we will not accept submissions which ridicule/are critical of trans people. The only clause to this is if your fic is about dealing with transmisogyny, in which case we ask that you please put a trigger warning in place!
Please ask questions if you have them!
The deadline for this challenge is Friday, June 9! If you find that you need an extension, please contact Admin M by message on her main account, lockandminkey.
Please participate in one way or another; even if it’s just reblogging! And have fun!
Just under a month left to submit writing, fanart, and edits for our challenge! Don’t forget that the theme is Minjung and we are accepting submissions, directly to our blog or via the tag ‘#subminho challenges’ until June 9th!
The Challenge Series is back with something a little different!
As y’all know, Minho’s birthday is coming up soon. We wanted to do something special to celebrate! So this year, instead of our typical writing challenge, we will be taking video and written messages to compile in a masterpost of Minho loving!
Guidelines:
Write and/or make a video about your favorite Minho moments and/or why you love him! A time Minho has made you laugh or cry (and rest assured, there’s a ton of both of those for both of us), your favorite thing about him, all of it is welcome! However, we are asking that your submissions be G or PG rated, because we want this to be comfortable for everyone!
The videos must be 20 seconds or less since we will be making a special video containing all of them.
Too shy to take a video? Talking on camera not your thing? Don’t worry! Written messages are also welcome! The written messages will be compiled and posted alongside the video. Please keep these as brief as you can!
Please email your submissions to [email protected]! Include the name you would like us to credit you as or if you would prefer to stay anonymous,
The deadline is December 7th so please get all submissions in by then!
Any questions? Please feel free to message this blog and ask us!

Jinki did not want to get up this morning. Nope, not at all. Fuck him for making a doctor’s appointment so early. He groaned as he rolled out of bed and dragged himself to the bathroom to pee. When he stood in front of the sink and looked at himself in the mirror, his heart stopped for a moment in shock. His eyes had turned lavender overnight. He gazed in amazement at their unnatural color in awe. He quickly washed his hands and rushed out of his bathroom to find his roommate who was surely still awake. Sure enough, there he was laying on the couch watching anime on his laptop.
“Jonghyun, look!” Jinki exclaimed rushing over and kneeling in front of the man, eyes opened up wide.
“Holy shit man,” Jonghyun pushed the laptop aside and grabbed his chin to get a closer look. Jinki saw his roommate’s golden eyes staring intently at his own in fascination.
“I know right?!” Jinki sounded amazed. “This is so surprising. They’ve always played it safe with their hair except for the ten days last year where they must’ve gone a dirty blonde.”
“Well it’ll certainly make it easier to find them,” Jonghyun stated.
Jinki grinned widely, “Exactly.”

It had been two and a half months since Jinki’s eyes changed color. They’ve consistently stayed that same since apart from occasionally getting a little dark brown around the center when they haven’t touched up their roots for a while. Jinki found himself scanning crowds in hopes of spotting a head of lavender hair. He’s had a few false alarms, none of them sporting caramel colored eyes, and each one leaving him dejected. What if his soulmate wasn’t even in Korea?
Then one day he was at the store picking up art supplies for Jonghyun because he was a good roommate and fully supported his roommates recent coloring book therapy sessions (that he frequently joined). He paid no notice to anyone and was squatting down focused on finding the exact brand of colored pencils Jonghyun requested.
“Can I help you?” he heard next to him. He looked up at the voice, heard a gasp, and froze. Above him was a man with a head of lavender hair. He slowly rose and saw that the man’s eyes matched his caramel colored locks exactly. He was taller than Jinki but narrower. He was staring at him with the biggest eyes he’d ever seen and was nervously chewing his lip. All of a sudden, he burst into high pitched giggles and pink dusted his cheeks. Jinki couldn’t help but smile at his reaction.
The man took a second to calm down before saying in a small voice, “I’m sorry, I laugh when I get nervous.”
“It’s okay,” Jinki said, “You have a cute laugh.”
“I’m Minho,” he held out his hand for the other man to shake.
“I’m Jinki, I think you’re my soulmate,” he grabbed Minho’s hand. His hands were much warmer than his own.
“I think so too,” Minho smiled.
~
Once his manager realized what had happened, he let Minho have the rest of the day off. They went out for lunch to learn more about each other. Jinki learned that Minho was an aspiring artist still in school and was quite talkative once he got over his nervousness. Or maybe he was talking a lot because he was nervous, Jinki couldn’t tell.
After a while Jinki finally asked the question that had been on his mind, “Why did you wait so long to dye your hair a color like this? You went blond briefly but from black to lavender in one go is pretty drastic.”
Minho blushed and looked down, chewing his lip again, “Well some of my old friends always said my skin was too dark to pull of lighter colors. I really wanted to do it though so I went dirty blond. As soon as they saw it they immediately made fun of me so a few days later I dyed it back. A few months after that I realized I needed better friends and eventually I stumbled upon the group I have now. We took a trip to America to visit my friend’s family in LA. While we were there I told them about the hair thing and the next morning I was in a salon getting this done. I loved it and they were so supportive so I kept it all this time.”
“I’m glad, it looks so beautiful on you. It makes your skin glow,” Jinki smiled.
Minho blushed and Jinki knew right then, they were meant to be soulmates.
