I was supposed to go but couldn't afford
Johnny, towards the end said “I’ve been holding this in all night…” And proceeded to yell “YEEEEEHAWWWWWW”
Johnny also made a point to say “y'all” instead of ‘you guys’
Yuta, during his thanks, said that he wasn’t in his best condition, but that he gained energy from us. It broke my heart and he coughed a little bit towards the end.. I hope he’s resting now..
Doyoung, Taeil, and Jaehyun all got temporary tattoos at the Houston zoo this morning, and Doyoung said “swallow” really cutely because he got a swallow tattoo (the bird). Then he said that some people recognized them at the zoo, and that he felt like he had spent the whole day with Ncitizens.
Marks mic stopped working and during a time when they were just standing there talking, I swear he like yeeted himself off stage to go get it fixed lol
Haechan. That’s it, just haechan.
Taeil constantly screaming “MY CITYYYY” hahaha adorable I love him oh my god
Haechan sitting in jungwoos lap during one of the vocal lines songs from the new album (coming out may 24!)
They said they only had two songs left and we all got so sad.. then they came back and performed for like a whole 'nother hour (all men do is LIE)
I’m sure I’m forgetting some, but this is all I can think about right now as I’m riding home lmao. If anyone has anything to add to this, feel free! Tonight was really one of the best nights ever and I’m so grateful to have been to Neo City ❤️💚❤️💚
Dailydose of cuteness (60/∞)
I have to say this after just realizing it with some of my favourite groups…personally I am NOT a fan of any kinds of hierarchy because I think we can only survive if we finally accept equality as a common thing for everyone. Now in kpop, there is this thing with leaders I lately felt like talking about because of that… what makes leaders the best and what doesn’t.
I’m not saying this because I want to shade or blame any other group, it’s just that some give different vibes here than others. NCT for example has almost 20 members by now, but somehow, they still manage an equality.
And that is what a leader has to do - bringing balance in the individuality of members to make them a team. And this is why being a leader is so hard.
You have to take care of every single member, every individual problem and need, every opinion. And then, you need to bring these together in ONE and balance them out to create the right vibe of the group because let’s be honest here, that makes 60% (at least) of a group.
I know not many people see this but it is also one big reason why some groups become big and others don’t, no matter what talent they have. It is the energy the group creates, and it is the leader’s job to guide them there.
People don’t see what thesee groups go through, we only see the outcome. A leader has to take care of all of it despite their own needs, need to solve every issue without being biased not only for the group but the company, and besides that, protect them from the wrong influences or possible scandals. They have to keep the face of the group and make it as easy as they can, no matter what.
And through all of that, fight their own insecurities. We don’t see the burden. And of course, some of them might get scared or overstressed because that’s hell of a position to be in.
You need to make it fit for everyone. And that includes the group, the fans who can be just as cruel, the management, media, and sometimes even families to please. Only one mistake you do can destroy it all for the members.
Now imagine being in that position without any of these giving you the respect to keep you stable. Let it be immature fans, bandmates in a difficult position, contracts you signed burning your freedom away or media on your heels. This is not a job for everyone, especially not for those who try to deal with it by ‘ruling’ over their group and keep control. This causes imbalance, and noticed or not, you will be able to feel when the dynamics in a group change.
Leaders are there to balance it all out, and some need to remember what it’s like to hold more strings that anyone can see - and that they are still only human.
True leaders chose the group over anything else. Fame, issues, insecurities. And that’s why the group accepts them as a leader.
I just wanted to say that because I find some of them are doing a great job.

To anyone affected by the sudden news of Sulli’s passing: It’s okay to grieve and cry. Don’t let anyone else tell you something different. If you are in a similar situation regarding suicidal thoughts, reach out for help, no matter if it’s a family member, a friend, a help hotline, a therapist,… Nobody has to be alone in this.
I love him
He makes my heart flutter ♥️🕊
Say it louder for the people in the back
PS: Im not really into girlgroups so sorry for leaving them out. Of course they are incredibly talented as well!
