the importance of styling (a visual appreciation post xD)

Caution: if you disagree with any of my choice(s) of visual...just keep in mind that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...there's no 'facts' dude...chill it.

 

i know i've posted all themost things i'm going to post here before...but this time rather than produce 101...i will focus on....visual...yes. something i think i rarely touch on...but...is obviously a major thing in kpop whether i like it or not...(if you're thinking this is gonna be sth deep n all...psh....no it's not, at all...lol)

and i'm not usually one who cares for visual cuz let's face it...this is kpop...being pretty or handsome is so average n common...nothing special...everyone's handsome n pretty...being below average in looks department would stand out more tbh...

 

so....when i first read about Yul n Zica being the new members in JJCC...i read that Yul would be added as a visual...but surely they'd have a visual even before that, right? and i definitely can't accept if it's anyone other than this dude. E.Co...i know visual is not any real significant position like vocal/rap thing...but ppl still make a big deal of it....and dude is the perfect definition of visual...no offense to chanyul(or even their other visual i'm unaware of)...he's pretty too...n i already know i'd love him when i saw how awkward he is...but this e.co dude....i didn't see it coming...at all.

and i just realized he's actually an 87er n is currently in military service??T^T...how...i didn't notice the age difference between him n other much younger members at all....like...whoa...he's the same age as SS501 maknaes, and Battle eldest hyungs....i'm so touched there are still non-kiddy idol around...omg...i'm overwhelmed....xD but...now i'm torn...i really want a jjcc comeback...but i know i'll anticipate to see his style the most...cuz dude is so beautiful...tsktsk...

 

 

ok, let's begin the story...(really? only beginning now?)

now...when i first checked out JJCC due to produce 101 kidsfanfic inspiration needed actually...i first watched this mv since it's their newest i guess...

At this time...i didn't know the members other than the two that joined produce 101(Chanyul n Hadon)...but i found myself quickly learning who's who cuz i like what i heard....only one guy i kept missing out no matter how many times i watched,yup that's our subject of the day-E.Co...i couldn't notice which one is dude...probly his tiny part in this song didn't help....but his styling too...made him just drown...i didn't thought much of him...he looks plain n i couldn't pick up anything about him to be able to remember/tell him apart from some other members.

 

 

still with dull hair...i'm still floored at how all the rappers sing in this one though...n learning that the whole mv production were by the members themselves...if that's true. i like dude's singing here though...i thought he sounded the best out of other rappers that sing here...

 

 

when i saw this though...

again, let me repeat that i dislike this song...kinda?...and the part distribution never fail to make me flinch uncomfortably....like seriously? one singer, four rappers, two dancers? /shudders/ (though i tried to forgive them cuz this was zica's n yul's first song with the group...just sad that it became a reason they got more hates for 'adding nothing' to the group...when they did contributed to vocals in later songs....) but the styling (at least for one member-E.Co of course...you weren't thinking of anyone else were you?) was soooo onpoint n i think major factor is also how he pulls off the style...once i saw dude, it's like game over for other oppars/visuals, but....wait....what????? are you telling me that, this insanely attractive gorgeous beautiful dude is the same as plain dude in that other song? does.not.compute. anyone can look nice after being makeuped...but not many can work the heavy makeups which could look tacky/cringy if you don't have the charisma n confidence to own the look...he totally rock it...totally deserves more screentime/closeups(excuse me being greedy here lol)

 

 

i love his hair here too...it still stand out somehow...in a little subtler way than in where you at...and without outrageous makeups...he rocks this fluffy spiky-ish hair too...n i like how his rap sounds here...n this song is just one of the most beautiful thing ever. i never thought i'd love a song with so many rap parts so much...n this is a ballad kinda...but this is just so perfect...

 

 

lastly...

the style isn't far different/stand out compared to other members here...but the hair was enough to make me just see the hair without the face...n already expect it to be him. as usual...he pulls it off. 

 

 

in conclusion: dude is just meant for all sorts of crazy styling...just don't give him generic dull idol haircut/style you can find in 8345746458685768976565896 other idols out there....he pulls off lesser conventional ones better than the normal boring idol hair like in Today n Insomnia...

also...i love his expressions...if acting in mv is any indication of acting talent...i think he has potentials to become an actor...i love that his 'visual' material-ness is not about his looks...but about working n owning his styles...even though boring plain idol look didn't work that great for him imo...also...i think he's the best singer out of the rapper line too....from what i've watched/listened to, so far...

and btw, i didn't include all their MVs here, there are still a couple more you can check out on your own...i just didn't have anything to talk about his styling there....xD...and i purposely don't post pics here cuz i think he's better looking in motion...and i'm just lazy with slow connection tbh... n maybe i just want you to watch their MVs lol.

 

 

actually...

even in his previous group....his hair just stood out...i'm crying...lol. not really but....wait...why am i going as far as to check out his previous group again?....yikes....what is this extra stalker mode?

another one la la la....

 

well...i'm not that biased...to only check out E.Co former group...

 

I checked out Yul/Zica former group too...wow...i just knew they had a former group before becoming new members in JJCC...and that they're from same group too....wow...who'd have thought...everyone had a past n struggling just to keep afloat n exist in kpop...sad that for some it's just endless cycle of uncertainty...(n oddly Chanyul didn't give me such awkward vibes in his old group...he seemed more confident then or maybe i just hadn't observed closely enough...maybe his awkwardness was just an image haa)

and unrelated to JJCC....but i was stalking instagram n just realized...Seokyu actually is working at a convenience store(seemed that he confirmed it too). while that may be common to trainees that aren't rich to just train exclusively...kid wasn't just a trainee...he has debuted since 2015/or 2014. n still in his group. maybe other nugu groups also have other unglamorous part time job...but since i'm oblivious to them...i'm so surprised to find this out...no wonder he keep posting pics of random products at his supposedly workplace probly out of boredom...but anyway...i admire this kid so much...he has good mindset, good words, and hardworking. in fact, compared to some other trainees who always seem to be living their life lol, going places n having fun...this debuted idol kid seemed to be living less grandly despite his cute visuals n stylings that might not suggest that....eh...idk what point i'm trying to make...i could be wrong judging from pics alone...but yeah...i need to start PUREBOY series real soon T^T...every discovery made me even more sure of this...but i keep feeling unconfident to do this due to their obscureness of information...aaaarrrrgghhhhh!!!!

Btw, HERE is Seokyu's latest whereabouts(in motion) when he guested for a youtuber vid last week(it's over three hours lol...haven't had time to watch all-not that i can understand what they talkin anyway...but maybe i'll make cuts for the compilation of singing+dancing parts...we'll see)...i'm so happy even for this...n he looks so cute doing the me, it's me dance, i mean he's always really enthusiastic in his dance...i noticed this in all Pureboy perfs i've watched...but even his expressions are so cute!!!....omg...he could be a center daehwiwho?...but i really hope his company would step up and do something too.....-_-...

 


 

bonus:

omg....visual spiderking....i'm blinded!!!! >< (though a lil sad he's not wearing glasses) just a few tiny seconds of him in the center n smiling is murderous enough!!! i'm just upset sungwook n daehyun got to be in the center for a couple seconds while the rest of time is donghan...like....???? i know donghan is the most popular n highest ranking of the three but this jarring difference in center-time is kind of offputting.....and since the two fics i'm actively writing right now have both sungwook and daehyun respectively...i think this will boost up some inspiration...xD...

HERE, if you want to watch full ver of their perfs...you can certainly get more Sungwook n Daehyun here....aahhh...solo perfs...n Sungwook's literally killer smile.../dead/....i hope Sungwook will continue to improve...before any of you come forward to bash him for not being perfect....he's only a trainee for 2-3 months n have shown such progress....there are idols debuted for years that still aren't better...tbh...and Sungwook's visual is just....superior...if i have to choose top 1 visual of the 101/98 kids...there's no hesitation forreal....xD....and i love how he's always smiling dorkily(how can he be super cute?howwww) n have this positive energy around him...that's our spiderbugman there!

 

blessed with so many visual goodness today weren't we? xD
