WayV 1st Album, Awaken the World.

WayV is a subsidiary group of NCT and is under Label V which is a subsidiary company of SMEnt, but Chinese division. or something like that. let us Wikipedia that ish coz it'll explain better. 

There.

LOL

I could read that wiki page and tell you all about them from the beginning but I'm lazy so you can read it here if you're interested.

Believe me, when I first started to get invested with NCT...hmm🤔 I was gonna said hard BUT it really is not. coz I have known this group since SMRookies. Yeah, I miss a few or 15 members debut but I'm aware of their existent. the beauty of IG explore page is that you received information about something that you'll never know you'll need and that is how I gradually understanding NCT concept.

Anyway,

back to WayV!

7 members: Ten (NCT U, SuperM), Winwin (NCT U, NCT127), Lucas (NCT U, SuperM), Kun (NCT2018), Xiaojun, Hendery, and Yangyang.

My first mini album of WayV is their second, Take Over The Moon. Title song: Moonwalk. Fav song: We Go Nanana. Bias: undecided but its between Kun and Xiaojun. 

XiaoJun

Kun

When they announced that WayV will be coming out with their first full album, I actually was looking forward to it.

as Wiki said, album was released on 9th June. there were actually a few hours delay on the MV released. but no matter, it came out eventually.

I don't know if I ever mention this recently but I've always been skeptic of music video of a new song. I need to not watch the MV when trying to decide if the song is good or not. So, downloading the album I go.

anddd it was a good song, Turn Back Time is.

The album tho.

the👏🏻album👏🏻

I was surprised at how I have 4 new favorites from it; Electric Heart, Domino, Bad Alive, and Turn Back Time. 

Not that the other songs are not good, I can listen to it if I wanted to. It's just, to me, favorite songs are when they come on and you didn't press Next. hashtag who can relate?

Electric Heart

Domino

Bad Alive

Turn Back Time, Korean version was just released on 18th June. I was so used to the original version by then.

Overall, a good album! 10/10 recommend!

Side note:

within the fandom, a hardcore wzennies are offended how czennies said that they supported the entirety of NCT but hardly show the same effort (in streaming and voting) towards WayV.

I feel you.

but I am no longer affected by these types of comment, stream/vote:

1. I hardly do any of that even with SHINee, what makes you so special, girlie? 
2. I bought the album and I think that is enough of an effort from me. 

I know, stream/vote counts are important for kpop but really, if you can do it and some of your friends can make time for that, great! I'll cheer you on. 

BUT the other some of us, we kinda have a life outside the net? albeit, I be on my phone, scrolling thru IG for an hour, but that doesn't mean I can stream at the same time? 

You just do you boo without calling people out. If you can, go ahead. If others can't, don't be so hard on them. 

to those others, If you find yourself reading negative comments, X out, slide left, and move on.

Be like me, and not bother. 

LOL damn. kata not affected but rant like it did. 

honestly tho, even with SHINee, I only do the bare minimum and SHINee still win awards, made concerts overseas with thousands of attendees, and all without my hardcore support. the best International fans can do is buy physical albums and official merchandises. I feel like that went into their profits much faster. I could be wrong 🤷🏻

all I'm saying is, stream Turn Back Time. the original version.

thank you.

...

I have a new favorite!

Hi guys!

I know, I need to catch up with my posts, sooo here we go.

My budd asked "Kenapa ko suka NCT?" and I went, "sigh. I know why ..just, I don't know how to explain" and I proceeded to explain to him WHY. bahahah

For starters, I've always been SM bias. So, anything SM produced, I will end up supporting.
I don't know if anyone remember but I started obsessing over kpop with Super Junior and over time, as do with all obse - you know what? I'm gonna start using the word 'Passionate' instead of  'Obsess' from now on - as do with all things you passionate about, you will become more knowledgeable of your passion, as in, I know what SM Entertainment is and which idol is under SM and everything fall into places from then on.

You know, of course, I became a Shawol next. I'm still an ELF, just not as passionate as I once were. I'm also a Jumping Boa, MeU, Sone, EXO-L, Cassies, ReveLuv, and NCTzen. Like I said, SM bias.

why I'm passionate about NCT at the moment?

There was a time when SHINee was busy promoting in Japan and they were absent from Korean stage for almost 2 years. When they returned and start promoting in Korea again, Onew said, in his very monotone and stoic face, "I will chase who ever ran to other groups while we were away". and I remember posting "Damn! i should have fangirling over NCT!" supaya cOnew chase aku lah tu ah.. i guess, I became a true NCT fangirl after that?

Um. pause. i found the video. Onew said that at 3:04



umm..i had secondhand embarrassment watching this. Even Taemin can't. like, why am I a Shawol? the fuck is this shit?  I. LOVE. THEM! 💚💚

ok, let's continue.

By that point NCT already began promoting and I have listened to their songs and some are such jam! as mentioned in previous post, a good song IS a good song. 

I think the first song I really listened to is Cherry Bomb, not a big fan. but lucky i have a habit of downloading full album. Whiplash is my fav song from that mini album. 



and then Fire Truck happened. SHINee's Key was one of the MC in one of the music show when NCT was promoting that song, soooo, you understand why I can sing a long to "ey yea yea hands up if you feeling the vibe now" LOL 

anyhoo everything kinda just, once again, fall into places with my passion with NCT from here onward. oh! and Boss! by NCT U. This song has been my jam for a while. even up until this week. LOL



Of course, I'm still a Shawol. and then 2017 happened and SHINee kinda slowed down, and then by end of 2018, Onew enlisted for their mandatory army service. Key and Minho followed early 2019. and now only Taemin left, being our little baby SHINee. This also mean, I'm missing SHINee a lot and I needed new songs to listen to. 

SM kinda "I gotchu fam" me and continue to promote NCT and also Red Velvet a lot this year. and you bet I listened to those new songs. and for some 'hype' reason, I became a passionate NCTzen? 
Maybe you are unaware but SM is promoting NCT 127 to the US this year and they collaborated with a singer I'm aware of,  Ava Max, with So Am I. of course, NCT 127 has a couple of songs in English; Regular and Highway to Heaven. 






I heard this song being played on the local radio station a number of times now and I felt proud for what ever reason.🤗🤗🤗


Even NCT Dream had a collab with HRVY with Don't Need Your Love for SMStation.




I mean, tell me these aren't good songs? Like...

So, why is NCT suddenly becoming my new favorite? hmm.. I don't thing this is sudden. I've always been a fan and only now that SHINee is at a pause that I'm giving them a chance. No, I don't think I'm moving on to becoming NCTzen like I did when I was an ELF. I'm just appreciating new very good songs at the moment.

I hope this story time is fun to read. and I apologize if there're any mistake in naming the correct NCT sub groups. even I can't keep up. 😅😅

Tell me what song are you listening a lot to at the moment? 🤔 to be really honest, I listen a lot to SHINee, EXO, and NCT songs these days. so, again, call me a multi fandom onnie/noona, song wise. 😉

ok, bye.

oh, to explain, why Passionate?

National Treasure dialog:
Ben: We don't need someone crazy. but one step short of crazy, what do you get?
Riley, incredulously: Obsess!
Ben, correcting Riley in professor kind of way: Passionate.

Song list recommendation

Hi guys,

Yes, another scheduled post.

This time, I'm gonna share with you songs that I think will lift up your spirit (or spirits in case you have many).

To make it easy for me, I'm gonna stick to one artist, or unlimited number of artists.

LOL

it's not NCT without a picture of their official lightstick.

Sooo

Ok, how about I just say, "from One Group" for now?

Yes?
Yes.

NCT currently have 4 sub units: NCT U, NCT127, NCT Dream, and WayV.

I have listened and downloaded every NCT songs. Ok maybe not listen to all songs lah ah. but I have them. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I just recently come across the sub-unit WayV. and I'm not sure if they have any songs out. but I'm guessing they are doing the Chinese version of the existing NCT songs? Maybe? I'm not sure.

Moving on.

without further a do, here is the list:

1. Firetruck - NCT 127
2. Whiplash - NCT 127
3. Paradise- NCT 127
4. BOSS (because I'm a fcuking BOSS!! LOL!) - NCT U
5. 1,2,3 -  NCT Dream
6. Regular (English Version) - NCT 127
7. Touch (Japanese version) -  NCT 127
8. Candle Light - NCT Dream
9. Without You - NCT U
10. Cherry Bomb - NCT 127

I didn't plan on making a 10-song list but that's what happened when you try to quickly finish this post. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

also, I am not NCT 127 bias. it just so happened SM releases NCT 127 songs more often. go and nag SM.

Let me know if I introduce you to your new favorite songs, yeah?
