first of all...allow me to introduce him...(but please don't dislike my hardwork...the last time i shared my jinseul video...afterwards there's a dislike...i mean, yeah that's inevitable....but why would anyone dislike a ship video....if you don't ship just leave it at that....T^T...videos that involve compiling from 73448567865 sources is sooo exhausting mentally n physically....you don't have to like it....but you could do a favour for the hardwork by not clicking that dislike button...i mean, i'm not accusing the dislike came from here....it's just one of the many possibilities...i just wanna vent it...i was so distraught that i ended up reuploading it....lol...me cowardself...on a different note....i reuploaded my kevkwang part 8 video too which i originally uploaded some 6 years ago bcuz it was blocked earlier...n guess what....a video related to a group that never had thaaaaat much popularity...n existed in the past, manage to get more likes in such short time compared to jinseul, a ship from current and popular group, meproud...and i'm actually already working on another two diff ships for haseul but the recent situation really got me down and maybe it's best for me to concentrate on other groups? idk, i'm already triggered only haseul's teaser not released yet...either they're saving her for last(they better damn be) or they're gonna just leave her out and let fans defend the company n put it all on her anxiety and whatnot when surely they'd have shot it awhile ago, as you know, i don't buy this bs even though i'm not saying it's for sure faked...but the whole timing n how her agency has treated her in their past is too convenient to feed my suspicions n skepticism, oh fans are gonna theorize everything but turn blind eye on the big obvious clues? heh....somehow this group, the management n fandom just depresses me ugh but anyway, speaking of teaser pics so far imo, only olivia's look good, hyunjin n yeojin looks alright, the rest mostly looked weird or sth amiss imo...probly the editing or choice of shot idk, surely they could do better than that......ps: isn't it funny though how i was rambling about getting dislike and being afraid of it, and then i go on sharing links ...yet again....T^T....btw, for my kevkwang vids....there are a total of 10 parts of mega compilation....even if you just watch part 10....i guarantee you'd end up shipping them....hehe...and if you're in a bad mood/need some laughter....watch this and laugh your heart out i surely could use some of this now haa...i get in my feels again...these two were too real or how else would they inspired me to write so many fics...)

Aaaaanyway...what's with the unnecessary super long intro?

let's get back on track to introduce him...

So,....think you know him? 

Him. leader of A'ST1(a group that was formed like almost 12 years ago, 13 if we go by Korean counting)....recently(well, 2019) he debuted again(for the nth time) as a leader once again in a new group Gmost...that as is with his many previous groups, only promote in Japan but this group had taken a step forward by debuting in Korea too, and even participating in a bit of music shows promotion....wow....and fyi, all the parts of songs used as background music in the compilation were his solo parts from the songs for most parts.

Because of how long it has been since his debut, i doubt anyone here knows him...but if you do....do let me know cuz....respect! even if his group wasn't thaaaat unknown since they debuted first in dsp afterall, not some completely nugu company....n they even participated in ost of high profile(n freaking overrated)drama, BOF. but still...it's been a long time since he's active in mainstream kpop...or not being horribly underrated/unknown...(btw, i've also made 3 parts compilation of Jungjin's live singing which comprised of his A'ST1, M.E.N and J-Bro eras...so, if you want me to share the links here let me know k i decided to just link them here...lol just clickie.)

The mvs included in the video above were from his 4 groups...i feel like there's more but they released no mv...and were related to gmost predebut...Jungjin has always been one of my fav voice for male idols...so i'm happy to see him still singing...though after J-Bro where he sang the majority parts of the songs...since it's a duo with just him and the rapper...i expected him to go solo next....but i guess not everyone's lucky, and he's probly comfortable to be in group? i would never know....but now that i think of how much i love his voice.....can't he go to King of Masked Singer/I Can See Your Voice?

anyway, if you're interested to get to know Gmost....here's their MVs + dance practice for song that had no mv...n if you're interested in his other mvs included in the video above...just click it and in the description box...you'll find the links to all the mvs.

(For performances of this song in music shows, just go to youtube and type gmost fallin)

^ i'm addicted to this song currently....this is no good ><

Now...on to my dilemma....

it's still related to Gmost btw....so i just found that they're releasing new single in Japan of course(and that they now only have five members, it appeared one of the rappers had left)....and they'll be having event on the release of their release, at a very convenient spot in Tokyo, for free as long as you've bought the album which i'd definitely would do sooner or later anyway if/when i go to Japan, unless i found their songs first and didnt like them....so far, i'm liking Gmost songs, maybe not so much for Fallin and Fire...but they're still alright...and on my past experience with Japanese releases....it's freaking difficult to find them online listening (though Gmost songs are well, available online)...for Jungjin's past groups that promoted in Japan, M.E.N and J-Bro....i did bought their albums...n proud of it...bcuz i knew otherwise, i'd have never be able to listen to some songs at all...i guess in that sense, Japan's strict restrictions really make the purchases of physical albums more worthwhile in a sense...for some songs that i really loved, i did english subs for them and posted them on yt like this and this....

ok...back to the issue...the problem is....me and my sis are kinda planning a trip to Japan(oh how convenient)...and we have set a date carefully because it's not that easy for us to have free time at the same time, especially for my sis...and of us two, she's the bigger Japan enthusiast....while me just eager to tag along, though i do really like it there from my experience there once, few years ago....it's not as convenient as Seoul(maybe less flashy too, though i've been more times to Seoul compared to Tokyo or any other parts of Japan to compare fairly) but it has a charm that i feel makes it more appealing in quite a number of ways....ok, so the dates we have kinda set....is...just like 1-2 weeks off for me to be there for their event or even to buy their new album....aaarrrggghhh...i don't think i can change the date of our plan since sis won't be free afterwards...but....hjvbdhbghdbgjhg.....bcuz the time is so close....it feels so.....T^T....but if i stayed longer just to catch that timing, well....that'd cost me a lot of money lol....we never go on longgg trips anyway...n i don't know if i can survive in Japan for so long on my own without any language grasp other than basic phrases....at least in Korea....i could read the letters even if i don't understand for most part...i mean, i've been to places where i barely knew the language, but never for too long, and for me the greatest language of communication is kindness, cheesy as it sounds....it's because we often met with good people regardless of shared languages, each trip was happy and enriching...

now....i'm still considering what to do....any ideas? i have a feeling if i have to choose, i'd go for my sisterly trips than choosing to chase idols...just the way how i had chosen all these years, family time over kpop...but bcuz the timing is sooo close....the temptation is there....especially since it could save me from international shipping....i always prefer buying albums on my own....physically n it saves shipping costs too lol n agent if i decide on buying from site that don't do international shipping....this could be my chance to listen n watch Jungjin live for the first time since watching him through the screen for 12+ years....arghhh....and to think the venue wasn't even difficult...and it's even a 'free' event...sort of...i think the biggest issue is the timing...if it wasn't soooo close to my plans...it'd have been fine to not attend it....i wouldn't feel sooo tempted like this....of course, i have a few other options....they had some other shows on other dates which i can buy tickets and attend but it's before the new release date which means, i probly won't be able to buy the new albums or listen to new songs...

then again, our plans aren't finalized yet....yes, we always finalize everything last minute...we're just that type of people....we had ditch a bunch of plans many times last year especially due to being lazy and prefer lazying at home when there's time(n no more big motivation to make plans happen since our biggest motivation n drive to not succumb to laziness comfort had always been mom. even afterwards, when we go on travel...it feels strange but we'd reminisce about the good times and how would she reacted in situations if she's with us...)...and even if we don't throw the plan completely...there's always possibility of changing destination...

yknow....i kinda wished i had known the existence of gmost after we come back from this trip now(if it happens that is)...grrrr.....

and now finally... for something healing

 

 

usually i'd go listen to original ver to compare fairly whether i really like/prefer the cover or not....i mean, that's a given right? but Baron's calm and 'healing' voice just makes me so assured that i won't need any 'better' version whatsoever...this is just enough and what i needed(and the video is so calming n beautiful too...makes me want to travel again for sure)...this was what i've been listening on repeat before i found out about gmost tbh...he might not be one of those powerhouse vocals whatsoever...but he's definitely joining the ranks of my fav male voices for idols...and funfact, before the addition of new members in 2017, he was the main dancer and also lead vocalist in the group...and here's a live solo collection for him i did from debut until 2017...they have released wayy more stuffs eversince....maybe if i can find time, i'll do his 2nd part (well, i did part 1 for Ace too since he's like my 2nd fav voice in the group but i'm not sure if i have anymore energy to keep up with more than one member per group lol....infact i should've completely retired already...)

 

ok i'm tired now lol gnite....seeya later when i seeya...zzzz
