She's one of us, Gyustans
It’s not easy being a fangirl, having to love your bias from afar, always a stage or a screen separating you.
Do you know what’s even harder? I have two words for you: celebrity fangirl.
(Is that three words? No, no, fangirl is a compound word, so it’s technically one word).
What’s so hard about that, you might ask? Well, to me, it’s like when you’re in high school and you’re friends with the hottest, most-sought-after boy in school. Sure, you’re the envy of everyone else for the amazing access you have to him, but do they know the pain?!? The heartache? The realization that you are literally close enough to touch the perfection, but you dare not?
Do you know who understands that misery firsthand?
Can’t see her? Story of her celebrity fangirl life, poor baby.
See, this dear creature is lovely, an up-and-coming girl grouper, and can roll her hips like nobody’s business…but she had the flawless, but unfortunate, taste to fall for one Kim Sunggyu.
(Can you blame her?)
Sadly, our dear grandpa apparently has no idea or has basically friendzoned her, despite her many efforts to make her affections known.
Who is this poor, neglected fangirl, you ask? That would be this girl.
That’s right, it’s none other than Girl’s Day Bang Minah, who is, many would say, capable of being both coyly cute and stunningly y. You know, part of the group famous for this?
At this point, you’re probably thinking: ynoona has eaten one too many Skittles and is having some weird reaction caused by a combo of green apple and strawberry, but I assure you, I am perfectly sane pretty sane sane enough capable of providing photographic evidence.
First, let me just say that Minah has never come out and admitted she has fallen under the spell of the hamster. That would probably be career suicide for her at this point, so I can’t blame her. However, that has not stopped her from dropping hints everywhere, the most major one being her so-called “ideal type”. (At 0:07).
“Not overly tall”, she says? “Maybe 177 centimeters”, she says? Hmmm, who would be about that height, minus his insoles?
Also, she and the rest of Girl’s Day are apparently crazy in love with actor Song Joong Ki.
Poor child, acting all happy about getting to talk to Joong Ki, when, well…he’s just a deflection, a way to conceal who has her true love.
No, she’s got it like a bad case of lice for the Gyu. It’s been like that from the start.
Here they are meeting on a show during their debut days. I’ve never watched the show in full with English subs, but apparently the premise of it is to have Infinite get felt up by random ladies.
I kid!
This segment is about having the girls appeal to the different members of Infinite who will partner them on photoshoots. Minah eventually ends up with Hoya, and though third bias be representin’, I am sure she was wishing it was the Gyu (even if he was sporting that atrocious hedgehog hair). Look at her trying to smile and act all cutesy, when her heart is breaking inside.
Probably didn’t help matters that our salamander general was laughing at her…
Despite that inauspicious beginning, this little girl got it bad for our cutie commander, so bad, she can’t hide it even on-camera.
She can’t help imitating his signature move.
And she certainly can’t help checking him out.
And like any fangirl in love, she can’t stop herself from trying to get his attention—like by sitting on him.
Only to be denied, over and over! Look at how psyched she is that she and Gyu are the last survivors of the game. Tell me it doesn’t look like she’s waiting for a hug.
Nothing from our dear leader. Nothing. His whole demeanor is basically, “I AM ON THIS PLATFORM ALL BY MYSELF. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE HERE WITH ME. NO ONE.”
So, as you can see, it’s pretty obvious Minah is nursing a massive, thoroughly justifiable crush on our bibimbaby. She is suffering just like every other Gyustan out there. We need to invite her into our club, feed her strawberries and bananas, and just tell her it’s okay, we’ve all been there and it will get…uh, the word here would be “better”, but it doesn’t get better, does it, it gets worse, since he doesn’t get any less appealing…
Not ever…
Not even a little freakin' bit!
Sorry, Minah dear, guess you’ll just have to keep on suffering like the rest of us, unless some freak accident renders our illustrious leader incapable of being y.
Yeah, okay, probably better to wait for the moon to spontaneously turn into a cheesecake.
Well, at least you get to be close enough to catch a cold from him! That’s something, right? Right?
