NMIXX -- Sullyoon

Wonderful photo, and I love Sullyoon's shorter hair.

🧵 1/2 NMIXX -- Jiwoo

The Heavy Serenade concept photos are so striking that it is difficult to choose just one, so I will put a link to the whole set in the second post of this thread.

Nevertheless, I have chosen Jiwoo's picture because not only do I love the profile, the hairstyle, and the mirror hair ornament (see also Haewon's picture), but I am also taken with the delicacy of the metal on her skin.

We Kpop fans are so lucky to have idols who are both talented -- exceptionally so in the case of NMIXX -- and beautiful.

MADEIN -- Nagomi

After a good deal of internal debate, I decided not to post MADEIN -- Super Obvious.

Although the song interests me for various reasons, I was mindful of the boycott a group of fans have announced following former member Gaeun telling of her being sexually assaulted by a senior executive at the agency.

The boycott seems to have been largely ineffectual, as the group seems to be getting decent figures on Spotify and YouTube. I don't know about their album sales, but I do know that they have a sizeable Japanese following who seem either unaware or just heedless of the calls for boycott.

I did think about posting a music show stage which maybe half a dozen people would watch and balanced the pleasure that post might provide me and one or two people here against the surely negligible benefit the post would provide for the bad actor at the agency.

But then I interrupted these utilitarian calculations by imagining what it would be like if Gaeun were sitting here with me. Wouldn't she feel hurt and betrayed if I pressed the post button?

So eventually I have decided not to post the video, but still feel frustrated all the same.

In addition, another part of me is thinking that my spending time and energy agonizing over a Kpop post on Mastodon is remiss in itself when I have all sorts of other and surely more important obligations to meet.

On the other hand....

The pictured member Nagomi was born in London. She left the city when she was three, but I think might still have family connections there. She admires Eunha, so that's a thumbs up from me, and she deserves another for looking so pretty here with her blonde bob.

Fifty Fifty

I hope the comeback TOO MUCH has the disco sound suggested by the visuals here.

STAYC -- Yoon

With the release of STAYC -- I Want It, we get to see a bangless* Yoon.

I've seen posts treating this hairstyle as an occasion for rejoicing - "Yoon's forehead free at last!" - but I'm not so sure, as I believe in the beauty of bangs.**

However, I am aware that more than personal preferences might be at work here, so I am beginning to look at the semiotics of bangs.***
