So it's been already a week since I watched and became a fan of the newly PLEDIS' Korean Idol group SEVENTEEN. I WAS DEFEATED. I made a promise to myself 4 years ago that I will never fangirl over Korean Idol groups again (personal reasons). Yes, I was a fan before (highschool). My friends and I were covering kpop songs but I only lasted a year and made that promise.

I never thought that this will happen hahhaha. A close friend of mine gave me a copy of their MVs and TV shows. I just accepted it since I'm also the one who dragged her to JUMP fandom. For the respect, I watched their 1st dance practice of their debut album title track "AKKINDA (Adore You)" and I can't deny that they're good!!. The choreography was so snappy and clean and while watching their other MVs and dance practices I became interested on them (since I felt the same "feeling" the first time I watched JUMP) //slapped

from "AKKINDA (Adore You)" Dance Practice

What amazes me is the fact that THEY ARE THE ONE PRODUCING, COMPOSING and MAKING CHOREOGRAPHY on ALL of their songs. They were considered as "self-producing idol group". I watched their "SVT Project" and I was touched with their dedication and love on their passion. Most of the members entered pledis and trained for almost 5 years before debuting.

Originally the group consists of 17 members (that's where they got the name SEVENTEEN) but only 13 made it and debuted last May 26, 2015. The group has sub units: Hip-hop Unit, Performance Unit and Vocal Unit.

HIP-HOP UNIT (from left to right): Mingyu, Vernon, S.Coups, Wonwoo

PERFORMANCE UNIT (from left to right and bottom): The8, Dino, Hoshi and Jun


VOCAL UNIT (from left to right): DK, Joshua, Woozi, Seungkwan, Jeonghan

But the one that really caught my heart was the Vocal Unit's Leader and SEVENTEEN's very own composer and producer Lee Jihoon "WOOZI"

At a very young age he is already producing awesome and heartwarming songs *very proud* His first love is music (maybe that's the reason why untill now he is still single, lol) BEWARE: eventhough he's smol he's a ferocious puppy. xDD

Here's their latest comeback, "BOOM BOOM"

My friend mentioned me on jpopasia's post: 1-MIN HORROR OF MAH LIFE T_T

Momoko Tsugunaga, Buono! & Country Girls' Member, to Retire from Entertainment Industry
"Momoko Tsugunaga, a member of several Hello! Project groups throughout her career, will be retiring from the entertainment industry on June 30, 2017.

"Since I succeeded the Hello! Project Kids Audition on the 30th June of 2002, it would make 15 years, and on this turning point, I have decided to continue further ahead on a new road," Tsugunaga said.

During her 15-year career, Tsugunaga was a member of Berryz Koubou, was the leader of Buono!, and is the Playing Manager of Country Girls.

Tsugunaga's role in Country Girls was to guide the rookie group and its members. She facilitated in their growth. Now, the idol will focus growing as her own person.

After retiring from the entertainment industry, Tsugunaga will become a teacher focusing on early childhood education. The singer graduated from university in 2012 and received a teacher's license for kindergarten and elementary school.

Although she's moving on to the next stage of her life, Tsugunaga expressed her love for the life she's lived up until this point.

"I love being an idol, I love spending everyday with all the fans, and I really enjoyed my activities until now from the bottom of my heart," she said." -jpopasia

Wait? .... W H A T ?! T_T

I just recently got into the fandom, and Buono just had their comeback last August. *sniffs* huhu T_T
But still, current me is thankful and happy that even for just a small amount of time I met her and was able to stumble on Country Girls. <3 Instead of sulking I guess I will use the remaining months on flailing and cheering her on both groups. <3

I will definitely miss her T_T. My sangay. I'm glad that she's happy with her chosen path. A new chapter to unfold! I will keep supporting you! TATATAT

Thanks for the 15 happy years, Momochii. Thank you for making me happy.

P.S. I will miss your pinky finger sticking out while holding a mic huhu T_T

I would like to inform you that I will be on a 1-month hiatus starting this week 😭🔫 Since I will be taking JLPT N5 Exam this coming 4th of december, I've decided to focus more on my exam and acadamics.

How do I divide my time and body? 😂 But I'll be back by the 1st monday of december, 約束 I know it's really hard, it's very hurting not to see those hansamu and beautiful faces of my Ichiban and bias but I know I can do this だからがんばります。For my fandoms and Japan Trip 2020! ファイトだよ！
