after getting settled in the hotel that they would be staying in for the weekend, xiu found herself wandering around a little aimlessly. a few of her group members had decided to turn in early for the night, something that she wasn’t really quite that ready to do yet. it was still early in her eyes, only a little after a seven, and while she knew that there wasn’t much that she could really do before their curfew arrived at ten in the evening, she didn’t want to waste the little free time they had in their hotel room. she wanted to go out and do a little bit of exploring on her own, but being that it was in a completely new area that she wasn’t familiar with, she wasn’t exactly gunning to go out exploring on her own and risk getting lost, so she wanted to bring someone along with her.
the sight of a familiar back caught her attention, and before she could stop herself she was walking over to him. she and blue had a good sunbaenim-hoobaenim relationship. they had spoken with one another many times before in the past, and she found that their personalities were compatible enough for them to be pretty good friends, although they hadn’t really had the chance to become as close as they could have. “hi sunbae,” she bowed her head slightly, before smiling. “are you busy? we have a few hours before curfew and i wanted to go out and do a little exploring of my own before the groups go out tomorrow morning.”

Being back home in Jeju made Eunwoo so excited. It had been such a long time since she had been back to her hometown. The smell of the sea and the familiar scenery made her realize how much she actually missed being home. A favorite pastime of her popped into her head and gave her an idea. Texting her father as a question, her grin broadened as she bounced up and down at his reply.
“Hey, is anyone interested in fishing on the sea? I’m surprising my mom and dad, they don’t know I’m here and they’re about to go onto their boat. Oh, you can finally meet my parents!” Her pitch became higher and her breath seemed to be out of place from speaking so quickly as Eunwoo clapped her hands together. If anything, she adored her parents and how they often came to her in Seoul. Now it was time to surprise them with some of her members.
the art in the museum itself had been of much more interest to dohee than anything the museum gift shop could offer her, but as their time at the location neared its end, she’d been nudged toward the small shop by her manager. separating herself away from everyone else and giving the editors footage in a place not everyone else had gone would be helpful toward getting her screen time, and her manager didn’t need to say that for her to catch on. she didn’t have much desire for the limelight in this particular situation, but she also understood that, as her group’s leader, she owed it to her girls to try to get them as much attention as possible, no matter how small the attempt at doing so was.
it wouldn’t be very conducive to her manager’s goal to silently peruse the shop, though, so she turned to the nearest person, who just so happened to be someone she instantly recognized as a respected industry senior: lyra. “sunbae, would you help me? do you think these,” dohee held up a pair of admittedly questionable socks with the print of a painting on them, “or a book on the history of artists native to jeju is the better souvenir to bring back home with me?” she laughed lightly at her own serious tone for such an inconsequential inquiry. “or should i try to incorporate these earrings into my everyday wear?” dohee motioned to the aforementioned jewelry, a pair shaped into replicas of a sculpture, the meaning of which even dohee had had a tough time grasping.

summary: for idolized2 task two.
notes: this is shit but i’ll blame it on the medicine i’m on rn. no proofreading, we die like men.
if dohee had been asked to film this self-cam a few months ago, she would have struggled to find a space in which she could even display her passions. her singing and acting lessons that continued even when she had no work would have sufficed, but they weren’t particularly interesting to an outsider. the particulars of diaphragm strengthening and raising of the soft palate did not good television make. neither did discussing the application of the viewpoints method.
recently, though, she’d had a resurgence of activity and she’d been able to arrange to bring the camera into the studio while she recorded for her upcoming album. she’d been provided with a camera pole, and once the camera had been turned on, she turned it to face her, an angelically blissful smile on her soft features.
“i’m recording today for a solo project!” she announced with an enthusiasm only slightly exaggerated for the sake of the potential audience. it’d been almost ten years since she’d come to seoul to pursue a career as a performer, and she was finally getting the change to release her own solo album. she had plenty of genuine excitement to show, although she was already suppressing the more negative, perfectionist emotions that bubbled up whenever she entered a recording studio.
“i’m working on a couple of the b-sides on the album today, but it’s important, i think, to put my all into everything into every recording as if it were for the title track,” she explained, continuing to look into the camera as the main audio engineer she was working with for her album finish preparing for their recording session on the other side of the booth. she wasn’t able to record too much of her singing to avoid any unapproved leaks, so she wouldn’t be filming her actual recording process.
“i always warm up before i record anything or perform. since singing is one of my passions, i don’t want to put my ability to do it at risk by not properly preparing myself. you wouldn’t ever run a marathon without stretching out your legs first, right?”
dohee quickly ran through some of her preferred warm-ups. she’d go through and do them more thoroughly once the camera was turned off, but she did want to have some footage to prove she actually did insist on it each and every time.
once she had enough footage, she spoke again, “i began singing when i was young, in church.” dohee rarely went into details about her childhood, and she didn’t plan to do so now, but it only seemed natural to discuss where her love of singing had started. “as i grew up, i got the opportunity to star in some productions at school, and so my love of acting sprang out of my love of singing, you could say.” that wasn’t quite true. dohee’s whole life had been an act since she’d been able to comprehend expectations and right from wrong. her experience with acting preceding her experience with singing if you asked her, but it was always far better to put a pretty bow on a story and package it in the most endearing light.
“i’m really so, so blessed to get to sing for a living. the recording booth really does feel like my home so i’m happy i got to show you guys around here. maybe you’ll see some more from me in here soon? who knows, maybe we’ll get some behind the scenes footage to show me.teors when my album comes out.”
an outro wasn’t required and she didn’t have many more interesting things to say so she gave the camera a small wave with the hand that wasn’t holding on to the pole before pressing the button to turn the filming light off.

The idea of vlogging, or standing on film alone, really, was never a comfortable one when it came to Taeyang. Perhaps it lacks the refinement he’s used to when he’s in front of cameras, or even just because he can’t get enough words off of his sandpaper tongue in time to make usable footage, but now with the little camera-tripod thing in his hands, Taeyang regrets saying yes to the self-cam for that one documentary just a little bit. Management had mentioned something about his anti-social status picking up some notice on sns as of now and how fans continuously were asking for his presence here and there, or “at least a selca.” That’s the motivation for even saying yes to this in the first place. He’d been relatively hidden in earlier filming sessions for this thing, so the least he try is throwing a bone to fans if the segment makes it in. If. If not, he’s not hurting. His French press coffeemaker and his dog training classes were the biggest fans he had and needed as of late.
“They’re starving, they said,” he’d been told, and the only response he could ever supply was the occasional nod or apology. If they were starving so badly, they could switch fanbases, right? Apparently not, and even he would be bitter if such a diaspora occurred, so Taeyang brings his favorite hoodie (as a security blanket) and the supplied camera to his vocal class as suggested by his members. The coach raises a brow at the sight of him wearing a face of decent makeup for once and the lack of bags under his eyes, but doesn’t say anything when she recognizes the camera in his hands. Suddenly the memo she got about the documentary makes sense and she has no qualms about him finally turning the thing on with a recognizable ‘ping’ heading the recording.
Taeyang knows how ‘squishy’ his cheeks get when he smiles, how they push up against his eyes and make him look like a ball of dough, and once upon a time he’d have been self-conscious about it, but he doesn’t properly care at the moment. He supplies a shy wave as he appears in the frame of the video, smiling indeed, and navigates his way around the room panning it a full-360 to give everyone a pretty view.
“So, we’re at, my vocal lesson...” He trails off with awkward pauses between his words, raising his brows to mimic the coach. He shows her expression and then his before laughing loosely. “I’ve been going to these for about ten years now, so I’m really good friends with my coaches. They make it all happen, my voice, the stability in it...everything. They make my best gift what it is. Though they usually ask if they can trade me away once they realize how weird my voice is,” He knows his comedy is weak, but he tries anyways. “I still appreciate their effort, you know? There’s a lot of people behind the scenes that make our talents come to life for everyone, and as everyone in Decipher grew up in the industry, we realized how important they are. When you’re young, you take advantage of a lot of the little opportunities presented to you, but those things are the key to having a great career. Things like the dance teacher staying behind an hour to keep you from holding down the rest of the group’s progress, or the stylists willing to accommodate you when you’re uncomfortable about an outfit or the way it makes you look...you can’t take those things for granted.” Taeyang chuckles more naturally and tries to move his hair out of his face. They do like forehead, right?
“I remember a time,” he sits down on the piano bench next to his coach and re-centers the camera on his face, “when I used to complain about lessons in particular. You have to get up early usually, ahead of your already colossal schedule, and pretty much rip your vocal cords to shreds to get them to wake up. I eventually decided to skip classes some time in my early twenties, thinking I was too good for them. That didn’t really work out when I realized how bad my parts sounded in early recordings. Singing means a lot to me, and after getting a lot of rap parts, I realized that I wanted more to be a singer. More than anything else, more than I wanted to buy fancy clothes at that age or win a lot of trophies. I never skipped again after that. I even stayed up in my room, just to prove how serious I was about singing and improving at it. The members thought it was annoying at first, someone keeping them up all night, but they along with the coaches saw how much I cared about my voice over time. It was really redeeming,”
“In all seriousness, like my coach here, these experts...they work just as hard as we do. They want us to succeed at our passions.We often get annoyed with them because they’re strict,” he turns to his coach with a nervous laugh and shrugs his shoulders at her scandalized expression, “and criticize us heavily, but isn’t everyone who consumes our music like that? They’re going to criticize, they’re going to look for flaws and things to say about us. Going to lessons prevents some of those flaws from appearing in the first place. After ten years of them? It’s like the flaws never existed.”
Taeyang sets up the camera with as steady hands as possible on top of the piano and in front of the coach and himself. She guides him through a warm-up she knows he’s particularly look at, and they even briefly work on one of his parts from an older time, Lucifer, with a smile on their faces. She’s picked up on his intention by now, to show that his lessons have hardened his vocals, his greatest passion, to perfection no matter how hard they are, and the little sample she leads them through shows it well enough.
“Thanks, ssaem,” Taeyang, now with a sizable smile on his face, gives his thanks to the woman after ending the recording and packing the camera away in the bag he’d toted with him. The night of practicing and rehearsing something for this self-cam had been a waste; it was clear that he was better off letting words come to him naturally just as he did in the past. He was going to show a different passion, like cooking or something non-work related, but perhaps that’s only due to the fact that singing and performing, clearly his real passions, are sore subjects for him nowadays.
Something tells him that he misses the spotlight more than he thought he did.

Rays of Apollo kissed hollowed cheeks; porcelain skin glistening under touch of gold. Cherry wine upon lips, ivories tug and pull for intoxication to fire the lanes of veins. Blood sweet and sour — cinnamon and cherries and licorice. Dust of freckles like speckles of paint on blank canvas, vocalist arrives with saturation of colors unknown before. A softer touch for visage, chocolate hair as opposed to ebony that shadowed him formally. More delicate his lips are as opposed to the crimson appeal once captured in image. White was his top, buttons done neatly, light washed jeans hugging his waist. Eccentric patterns do not design his image. Instead, he is pure fluff of clouds — no longer a storm.
How was your trip to Jeju? What do you think of Jeju? Have you been there before?
A tug of curves with dimpled cheeks, coffee stained orbs avert to the camera focused center, his body leaning with no discipline. Hands on knees, the necklace around hangs low, and it is apparent with the flow of his hair that he no longer wears hoops for earrings, but small diamond studs. “I have only visited Jeju once before when Unity promoted before, but that was a while back, and I was more naive to experience the place to its full extent. This time, I was able to visit more places, and I was able to spend more quality time with friends. I was just able to enjoy myself this time around as opposed to before.”
Which location in Jeju was your favorite to visit, and why?
”Manjanggul Cave was exciting,” Straightening his posture, he noticed from behind his manager gesturing movements to suggest the tugging of sleeves. There’s a squint in Blue’s eyes before averting back to the camera. Hands are sly and nonchalant as he tugs the sleeves of his blouse to further cover his sleeves of tattoos along both arms. “It was an exciting experience, and it is likely one I will forever remember.”
What is your passion?
”Passion …” he utters to himself, lips wrapping around the syllables as eyes travel to his feet — black boots covering toes and hanging off the rails of the stool. “Drumming, rapping, and fashion. I started drumming since a little child. Finding buckets to bang with chopsticks, cans and sticks, anything that would suffice to creating a beat. It was not until recently that I finally got a drum set. A friend got it for me, and I will forever be in debt. Rapping is how I realized performing is what I really wanted to do. It’s how I communicated what I couldn’t in conversations. As for fashion, I have always adored messing around with styles. It is one of the most exciting part of being an idol. Aside from meeting the angels, I adore meeting up with the stylists to see what I can wear and fashion that day.”
If you weren’t a celebrity, what would you be?
A chuckle slips from his lips, a hand decorated with rings reaching to fiddle with his lesser lip. “I honestly have no idea,” the shake of his head, he is careful to not move much knowing his manager does not want Blue to expose too much of his tattoos, especially his newest addition that matched with his friend, Eunha. “I was working odd jobs in the fast food industry to eventually study business. So, who knows? I could’ve been your boss.” A wink attached to his last comment due to reasons unknown to fans.
If you could perform a special stage during the upcoming Hallyu Triple Fantasy Concert, what would you want it to be?
Quirking his lips in thoughts, he sat straight now as hands clasped. “There are various artists I would love to work with, especially onstage. For instance, I would like to perform with my cousin Amor, my friends Changki and Jihyuk, a duet with Eunha, a dance portion with Angel, a rap battle with Jun would be funny, and so much more. I want to do a lot.”
truly, he didn’t mind doing interviews. he always had a lot of fun doing these type of things, especially because he knew that the fans would like, and look forward to what would be said. he makes sure he looks presentable, fixing his hair a little bit, and fixing his shirt, before sitting down for the interview. it began rather quickly, already onto the first question.
How was your trip to Jeju? What do you think of Jeju? Have you been there before?
“The trip to Jeju was a lot of fun, I had a blast! Jeju is honestly such a beautiful place, something about it is so calm and relaxing. I was so glad we got to see Jeju in a different kind of way, rather than for it’s beaches and stuff like that. I’ve been to Jeju before with Decipher for work related things! But, it’s never really been like this. I’m really thankful for Jeju’s tourism department for doing this for us!”
Which location in Jeju was your favorite to visit, and why?
“I really enjoyed Jeju National Museum and Jeju Museum of Art! There was a lot of things for me to learn, as well as to read, and look at. I really enjoy learning and getting to learn more in my life after schooling is something that I really cherish. So, that’s something that I really enjoyed. I also really liked going to Gimnyeong Maze Park! That place was beautiful and outstanding. It was a really interesting place. Even though I did end up getting lost with Wish’s Wren inside of the maze,” he laughed softly.
What is your passion?
That was probably a rather easy one for him to answer; it was almost obvious. “My passion...My passion is simply singing... making music... going out onto stage to perform music. Seeing fans and interacting with them.... being an idol, that’s all my passion because I get to do music. For the longest time, my passion has been music because it constantly gets me through things, it uplifts me, and it just generally makes me happy. Always do the passion that makes you happy and don’t let others stop you from doing that. I’m just so happy that I’m on a path where I get to share music with fans and not fans alike.”
If you weren’t a celebrity, what would you be?
“To be quite honest, I think this path is my destiny,” he chuckled softly, shaking his head a little bit. “But, if I wasn’t a celebrity, I think maybe I’d be doing something behind the scenes? Maybe I’d be a song writer or a producer. But, there’s also the chance that I could of been a nurse, because I really, really love to help people. Or a veterinarian because I love all pets alike.”
If you could perform a special stage during the upcoming Hallyu Triple Fantasy Concert, what would you want it to be?
“I really want to do a girl group song! I don’t really mind what group it would be, but I just really want to do a cover of a girl group! I love songs from a lot of different girl groups, so I think it would really be a lot of fun!”
