This new Suho is a lot of fun www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjRu...

Omg, I just remembered that I saw some National Guard guys walking around the TXT venue last night after the show! Watch out, young women covered in glittered and sporting giant platforms will absolutely come for you.

RIIZE's One Kiss just hits pop perfection

Boynextdoor in the States when???? This was so good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzHj...

Alright, time to rally after last night's P1Harmony show! TXT tonight!

Whenever I ask my husband how the boys (our cats) are, my phone autocorrects to The Boyz 😂 I don't think my husband is keeping tabs on Juyeon and the others but thanks, phone!

Had an incredible time at P1Harmony tonight!! I've been to the Prudential Center a million times and it's never been so freaking cold 🥶 Was it because I was on the floor or was everyone frozen?!?

Not Keeho going after the anti-bleached eyebrow crowd 😂

The absolute edge of my seat terror watching Namjoon running and filming himself. The anticipation that he would trip and fall was too real 😅

Can't believe I'll soon be seeing Ghost Girl live 💀

For those of you who teach: I've had a phenomenal semester with amazing students. Today, however, I believe I forgot how to teach. Having hummus and pretzels and a cocktail to soothe the meh of it all 😭

Remember Eunwoo in this coat and bag combo?

Ridiculous but also respectful! youtube.com/shorts/cLn6L...

This is all to say, I’m fascinated by what motivates fans to buy makeup and how they feel when they wear it, if you know of anyone 18 years or older who might have insights, please consider sharing this survey with them!

Reading (& will be teaching tomorrow) a great article on Girls' Generation's evolution from being seen as simply as a group that disempowered women on debut to one viewed as exactly the opposite. It's a very informative piece of you're interested in 2nd gen Kpop history!

Omg, I can't believe Seonghwa is such a huge DPR Ian fan!!!!! DPR Ian is such a genius and his work means so much to me. I usually do a whole class just on his music videos because they are so deep and brilliant. Seonghwa's reaction to meeting him is just 😭😭

On the first day of K-pop class this semester, I had my students analyze CORTIS's video for "What You Want." I'm looking forward to what they have to say about this one, too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QZe...

Suit, sandals, jacket, Namjoon.

This little cutie (Hanjin) from TWS is wearing such a cool pair of sweatpants! I do not wear pants (long story short: years ago I challenged myself to wear all the skirts & dresses in my closet that were going unworn & I've never looked back) but these look like a skirt?? Can I wear them??

Of course Jungwon slayed this youtube.com/shorts/HIC1L...

This is very cute www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm92...

Beomgyu listening to Chris Isaak 🥰

This is a banger www.youtube.com/watch?v=APjt...

The way students become Kai converts after one video 👀 (and that video is usually Mmmh)

The way Cortis said they accept everyone as fans: young, old, men, women, grandmas and grandpas 😭I'm in, everyone. I've been accepted 😅

I have my K-pop students pick 5 random videos from our themed playlists each week to think and write about. The way one student was commenting on the new Ateez video hours after I popped into into the playlist queue 👀 Is this a new Atiny?

In difficult times, moisturized skin can be that bit of joy you need. Laneige's Cream Skin milky toner & moisturizer is so good. My skin is feeling plump & radiant 😎

Grateful to have incredible students to unpack K-pop's "liminal masculinities" with. We took a vote, though, on what to analyze and today they decided to go with "Not K-pop but Korean" for our music video breakdown. Had a great talk about Wonstein's video for It Isn't Beautiful and It Doesn't Hurt.

Okay, I love this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRFW...

I wonder if there will be a time when I don't get a little bit emotional when showing Astro's Breathless video in class? The discussions yesterday & today about the meaning of that video have been FANTASTIC & I'm so lucky to have students willing to go out on an analytical limb!!

Me having a totally normal conversation with my cat, Timmy: Me: Who is your bias in RIIZE? Timmy: ... Me: Shotaro? Oh, he's a cutie. My biases are Sohee, Wonbin, and Anton Timmy: Jumps off the couch and scampers away

Close Your Eyes' Bubble Tea is so cute 🥹

If you are aware of any threads/comments/posts that are about male K-pop idols giving gender envy, "[idol's name] is my gender," etc. please let me know. I've already put together some Jungkook ones that I want to show my class tomorrow (with names/pfp removed for privacy, of course).

Namjoon, Taehyung, and Hobi hanging out with James from Cortis? So cute!!!!!!!!

According to my calculations, seeing The Boyz last night was my 50th K-pop show!

I was sitting so close to the front for The Boyz tonight that I didn't want to use my phone because I just wanted my eyes to drink in the insane beauty in front of me!

Happy birthday to this Namjoon

I've been teaching Ateez's Guerilla video in my most recent K-pop classes and there really is nothing like sending them out into the world by saying "Break that wall!"

Always show TXT's Sugar Rush Ride during the week we discuss dystopia/utopia in Kpop videos and this time I didn't even mention that Hueningkai touched my hand 😭

Key's presale being at 8 a.m. is diabolical. Like, I'm up already at this time for work but having to get to my office early to do a ticket buy is NOT IDEAL

A student from last semester brought me a Happy Meal Namjoon Tiny Tan and another told me that my outfit was "fire" today. It was all so nice 🥰

Been thinking about a passive aggressive comment in a group chat recently. This is a chat where I've in the past posted a pic of what I'm wearing to a show bc a person in the group asks me what my fashion choice is for the night, etc. I thought it was fun. Another gc member recently went to a show

These absolute nerds 😭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciRf...

Hello, I touched Kang Daniel's hand and it was impossibly smooth and soft!

You all!!!! This theater where I'm seeing Kang Daniel has just 250 person capacity!!

Tae live!

I've seen people complaining that the group looks "uneven" or that it's "unfair" to the members that Martin is so tall but sorry, it's totally adorable that he's gawkily looming over all of them all the time 🥹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmCf...

If anyone is heading to the Atlas Performing Arts Center in DC to see Kang Daniel tomorrow, you can bring lightsticks into the venue 😊

Hubs: You're not into that Labubu thing are you? Me: 👀👀👀 Hubs: 🤨🤨🤨 Me: I only have two but technically just one because one is fake and I thought it would be funny to have a fake one Hubs: 😒 Me: So I have one official one but I want one other one and then I will stop Hubs: 🤔 Me: We'll see 🙈

Students: That video for Drunk Dazed was really interesting! Can we watch and talk about that one? Me under an enormous strain to react absolutely normally to mild interest in Enhypen: YES SURE IT'S AN AMAZING VIDEO WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW TO SOME FUN THINGS ABOUT THE FILMING OF IT?????????????????
