Cool Stuff I Saw: August 2023

August was okay lol.



Current events

- I read an article on the mess surrounding the Titan submarine. (Link)

Korean culture

- Recently learned the Korean term "Mossol" which describes people who have never been in a relationship. Glad I'm not alone T_T (Link)

Japanese literature

- I have been reading a set of short stories by Edogawa Rampo, that was translated by James B. Harris. There was a foreword that described James B. Harris a bit so I got curious and looked him up. (Link)

- The foreword that I mentioned above also mentioned Ihara Saikaku, though I had a bit of trouble finding the specific text that was mentioned in the foreword. (Link)

Gaming

- I found out about this mobile game called Pocket Love where you create a chibi couple and make a house an adopt pets with them. It looks cute! I haven't tried it yet though. (Link)

Korean entertainment

2PM

- Eric Nam and Taecyeon talking about internet of the old days lol. (Link)

EXO

- According to Jaejae's information board, ENFJ folks like relationships that are respectful yet obsessive. Junmyeon says that actually he's pretty cool, which we all know is a lie XD Junmyeon is dramatic and loves dramatically XD (Link)

(G)I-DLE

- I didn't realize Yuqi was so fluent in English. She was on Eric Nam's show and talked about how she was inspired to get into kpop. (Link)

- Yuqi explained that she and Minnie never lived abroad so all of their language skills were learned on their own, which is super impressive. (Link)

NCT

- An old photo with NCT rookies. This does match with the narrative that NCT Dream had always been training apart from the older trainees. (Link)

Mark

- Wait I didn't know Mark was this flexible ToT (Link)

NCT Dream

- Two sides of Dream (them being fite and them being cute) but honestly even when they were being fite, they were cute lol. (Link)

- Yogurt Shake video :3 (Link)

- I may have linked this before but X-Dream fanart! :3 (Link)

- Baby Shinki on 90:2014 :3 (Link)

- A Koreaboo post on Jaemin's journey. I actually stumbled upon this because I was looking for more Baby Shinki photos. (Link)

Jaemin

- Jaemin's birthday cake and birthday headband are very pink and very cute and suit him perfectly (Link)

Renjun

- Windows drew fanart of Renjun. However, I'm not sure if this is Windows' official twitter account lol. The checkmark holds no validity anymore. And also it seems this twitter account is a kpop fan. (Link)

- Dream reacting to Renjun's bunny ear toque :3 (Link)

- Renjun is able to tell the members by feeling their hands. (Link)

- Renjun smol (Link)

- I saw this really cute NCT Dream Stationery set! (Link)

Haechan x Jeno

- Haechan reaching for the toy that Jeno is holding but Jeno gave him his hand instead uwu (Link)

Haechan x Renjun

- Both Haechan and Jaemin reacting to a "Renjun's husband kiss" sign. It was for Haechan but Jaemin responded too >3 (Link)

Jaemin x Renjun

- Both Haechan and Jaemin reacting to a "Renjun's husband kiss" sign. It was for Haechan but Jaemin responded too >3 (Link)

- I've posted this before but Renjun is the one who orders too much food and Jaemin is the one who helps him finish it :P (Link)

- Sailor Renjun and Tuxedo Jaemin >3 (Link)

- Jaemin putting his arm on the back of Renjun's chair... (Link 1) (Link 2)

- Jaemin petting Renjun (Link)

- Jaemin calling himself oppa ^^;; (Link)

Jisung x Renjun

- Jisung responded to a sign for Renjun's boyfriend and this twitter user is correct in saying that if Jisung joins the fight for Renjun's hand, he would win without question lol. Renjun has so much love for Jisung :P (Link)

WayV

Winwin

- Winwin and his athleticism! (Link)

- This fancam of Winwin during Take Off shows some more Traditional Chinese dance-inspired choreography (Link)

- I didn't realize this part was Winwin in Domino...wished SM would use his voice in more creative ways like this. (Link)

- Winwin mentioned that when he was at Beijing Dance Academy, he would cry often, and when he got his phone, he would cry to her and then tell her what happened. I'm going to check out Winwin's Chinese variety show appearances later because I think they'll be quite fun. (Link)
