Intergalactic Princess

My bias is not Yeonjun but also my bias is always Yeonjun. Bc i KNOW you cant get better than him. Choi Yeonjun is the definition of an idol to me. He is the blue haired guy. He’s not the center but he’s the guy you cant look away from. He is the flag of txt that we wave proudly in the air.

His energy, his aura, is so strong, it pulls you in his gravity. The way he moves, the way he sings, the way he carries himself, is so undeniably, unimitably, unapologetically, YEONJUN. It’s hard to look at him and not fall in love.

I love him always, and i am grateful for it. Everytime i see him dance, i am in awe. I dont know about the theory of dance, but i want to drink up every little move with my eyes, i wanna see it over and over again. I have never seen him give less than 110% on stage. I dont know where he packs all of that energy. What are in those IcedAmes?

When i see him on stage i see the joy, the confidence of someone who was born for his craft. He showed me what true passion looks like, true confidence looks like, what being a boss looks like. I strive for those things every single day.

But more importantly, he taught me to love myself for where i am, right now. Last year, in May, I was struggling with what at point was the hardest course i encountered. I remember feeling like i wasn’t enough, no matter how much i tried, i couldnt make it in this field.

One night, i was up studying and at a break i was watching a txt video. “wow, txt members are these stars who worked really hard and made it. I dont have it in me. Im gonna wither away without doing anything memorable.”

Then, a clip came up where Yeonjun said “I know you love us but please love yourself more.” I felt like he looked directly into my soul. It was sobering. It took me out of my misery. I couldnt love myself that much back then. But i could try. Yeonjun told me to.

“Healing”, his mom’s nickname for him, is so fitting. He did more than heal my self loathing that night. He taught me a hard lesson i’d have to remind myself again and again.

I have witnessed him be a source of light, of hope, of comfort, to countless people. For so many, he is the reason to get out of bed, the strength to dream. With his existence alone. Not a lot of people can achieve that. I hope he knows how precious he is, how loved he is by all of us.

We talk about BLT, BigHit's Legendary Trainee a lot. Being at a similar place once, what crosses my mind first is how much pressure that must have cost him. How scary it was to risk losing the top spot next month. How much work he must have put to keep that title till the very end of his training period. I hope he knows he is not Choi Yeonjun because he is No.1. He is No.1 because he is Choi Yeonjun.

I want to get him a transfusion to remove all the caffeine from his veins. I want to get him coupons for all the ramyeon for his lifetime. I want to see him smile with his eyes more. I want to cup the world in my palms and hand it to him.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN thay are DAMN confident about this song if they plan to perform an ENTIRELY UNRELEASED song IN AN AMERICAN AWARD SHOW.

This is the catchiest sh** ive heard in a while where is the MV. Where is the .mp3. I want this RIGHT NOW i have to PUMP IT THRU MY EARS OH MY GOD

Like I. CAN. SEE. YOU. COMING BACK FOR MORE. COMING BACK FOR MORE. COMING BACK FOR MORE.

Yes I can see myself coming back for more. This has me hooked the way CYSM had me waaaay back when. This was a fool-proof plan HYBEEE i gotta give it to you.

Who cooked this song. They understand songs. This is simple and fantastic thats how songs should be.

When we speak of Huening Kai we talk about how he’s the sunshine, the angel, the beloved maknae. His zany sense sense of humor, his bright energy, how he heals the members the members with his care. People might talk about his drive and his resilience, how he takes the lead when the rest falls apart.

But that’s all Huening Kai the public figure. What about Huening Kai the idol, the performer? I think his talents as a performer are among the most overlooked among the boys.

In my head, Huening Kai is one of the most integral pillars to txt. He is what makes txt, txt. This group’s concept doesnt work without him. The concept of this group is very clear. You think “txt”, you close your eyes, you clearly see something. And whatever you saw, Huening embodies it. With “youth” as its forefront, HK has that visual of an eternal youth. He looks like a innocent teen boy and a dashing fantasy prince at the same time, blurring the lines of time and reality (two very big points of the concept). The image of innocence, of purity. You see the Crown video? Heuning Kai in that pink sweater? Take that out, and you’d have to cancel the whole video.

In the .mp3s, he embodies this concept with his voice. His biggest contribution to this group is with his vocal work. There are stronger vocalists in this group, but its about the character in his voice, the color. Its so distinct and so txt. Think about any chorus of any title track. The soaring melody of dreams and heartache and emotion. Who sang it? Probably Huening. His voice is so warm and so comforting. I feel like living in his voice, and falling asleep in it.

I dont understand dance enough to judge it. But im talking about his stage presence, his energy on stage. Again, there might be better performers, but the character of his stage is unique to him. He consistency applies energy to his dancing, he is completely engaged, his expressions are so expressive. He breathes life into the entire performance. This is why i think we tend to overlook it. He is reliable. The fact that he will give his 100 is a given.

Another thing i love about him is how he transforms with concepts. He cant be beat with bright concepts, but what happens with the darker colors of today’s txt? He can show his teeth, but there is also the shadow of the innocent boy that once was, caught in the war, that still could be saved. In Puma he is the cub that looks at the moon and misses his mother. In Chaos Chapter he is the Snow Prince, frozen under a sheet of apathy. In GBGB he is the fragile lover shattered by rage. In Name Chapter he is the sunkissed child under the daze of the Devil’s enchantment.

I think the common thread in all the points i mentioned is acting. He is a great actor, through his craft. He becomes the vessel for the story, and does it so effortlessly that he becomes faceless in the process.
