#donghae

day 2 of his solo concert in hong kong he collapsed on stage due to a herniated disc (he did manage to finish his performance after a pause)

and then he handwrote an apology letter IN CANTONESE IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE CHARACTERS basically taking accountability for not taking care of his body and ruining his fans' experience, promising to seek treatment and return in best condition

when ccp has been doing everything in its power to erase hong kong's culture and language and reduce hong kongers to 2nd class citizens, this level of respect from a kpop idol left me speechless

"So apparently 1iL (or Kyungil from History) has written a few songs for Super Junior D&E. So that makes this even cooler. I have no idea which one is which, although I'd guess that one of the rappers is Jay Park, because I don't actually know what their voices sound like. Either way, we've got basically a boy group contained in these three, and a lot of different vocal textures. There's also a range in notes, from the celebratory "Good day!" to basically everything that's going on in the bridge. That bridge is a masterpiece, everyone, and you need to know this. Perfect architecture, right there. The engineers did their job well. I almost don't want to turn the song off to go watch the music video. That's how well I like this."
