negotiating deadlines with editors is sf depressing. i know artist types are a joke to them for always trying to work around deadlines, but it's not like either of us is spared the stress and all-nighters. sigh.
anon what has he done? that's one of the reasons i tend to stick to groups i do stan- at least i get an idea of who they are as ppl, not that that's still enough to 'know' them bla bla
tbh i used to be a huge 2pm stan and then the whole jay thing really made me see them in a new light. i'm really happy for jay now so i don't hate 2pm quite as ardently but imo they just handled the scandal really poorly. really flip-flopped between "we miss jay" but then making kind of snide comments about jay and dragging him through the mud once they figured out it was more profitable to make it a us vs him kind of thing. and around the same time a lot of fan accounts were released saying most of the members are pretty shitty to their fans/girlfriends/women in general, and especially taec.
and obviously i took most of these with a grain of salt bc lol saesang fan accounts, some of which seemed to be from pretty hardcore jay fans, but i had a chance to see 2pm in concert a few years ago and my friend who was a REALLY BIG 2pm fan wanted to go wait around their hotel. i went with her and we saw a lot of bands go by - kara was super nice and waved and took pics and seemed really apologetic when they couldn't stop and sign more stuff, beast was half/half (i remember kikwang was exceptionally nice tho), and the only 2pm members we saw were taec and chansung. chansung stopped and talked to some fans and was in the middle of signing one of my friend's cds when taecyeon like grabbed his arm and made him leave. when someone called out to him to ask for an autograph he was really rude in saying no. and later this other girl there who had been on his floor said she wanted to approach him but didn't because these fans left some snacks/gifts outside their room and he kicked them aside and said something along the lines of like, "why do they think we'd want this/this is really annoying." and like i get that it's annoying when fans do that kind of thing but it really stood out to me because almost everyone other idol was so much kinder/more gracious in comparison.
tl;dr i really liked jay, thought 2pm but esp taec treated him poorly, and had one really shitty personal experience with him too.
how come feb 21 youngstreet with shinee (source of that fucking amazing cut of taemin jjong and minho doing roleplay with fans and jjong fucking LOSING IT and taking minho down with him... lol you know the one)
that's sad i rly like radio shows bc there's more actual talking and not just the usual stock q&a, they're not having to look their best and can do shit they can't get away with on most variety. just, they look and sound so much more relaxed.
