casting/graphic: before the dawn
When teasers like this exist, how can I not end up casting the members of my ridiculous boy band as spies? I mean, really. They were just asking for it.
BEFORE THE DAWN → a spy AU inspired by this teaser
Infinite is the last word in special-ops. Under the leadership of their boss, professional badass Shin Min Ah, they’ve handled every nearly-impossible operation the government has thrown at them. Now, though, they’re facing supervillains Uhm Tae Woong and Jung Ryeo Won, who are filthy rich, scary brilliant, and crazy in love, and the boys may be a little out of their depth.
Infinite may be the best at what they do, but Min Ah’s going to have her hands full trying to keep their heads in the game for this mission. Team leader Kim Sunggyu has been itching to take on more responsibility and plan the missions, but Min Ah knows he’s not ready, and they keep butting heads. Jang Dongwoo’s threatening to snap at any moment now that he’s found out that the enemy has kidnapped Jo Bo Ah, the girl he left behind, and is using her for leverage—but the Big Bads are going to find that they’ve bit off more than they can chew with this girl. Nam Woohyun keeps having mysterious (and hot) encounters with Yoon Eun Hye, an enigmatic and deadly assassin whose loyalties remain unclear, and she’s proving a big distraction. Lee Hoya’s the street-rough new recruit, training under the direction of Min Ah’s assistant Sung Joon; he’s struggling to figure out where he fits into the group and to deal with his burgeoning feelings for Dongwoo (and completely failing to notice how into him Sung Joon is). Lee Sungyeol is reeling from their latest mission, questioning his own abilities and his commitment to the job after a bad call ended in tragedy—and the nightmares sure as hell aren’t helping anything. Kim Myungsoo has teamed up with fellow spy Kim Ye Rim to go undercover as lovers, which would be a breeze if it weren’t for the fact that they hate each other (Myunsoo is positive that Min Ah is punishing him). And Lee Sungjong’s having more and more trouble juggling his spy work with his day job as a rockstar—and his life’s about to get a lot more complicated now that his sassy idol girlfriend Jung So Min is starting to suspect that he’s keeping secrets from her.
They may be closer than brothers and, sure, they’ve always come through for each other in the past, but the group has never been so fractured as it is right now. It’s a tossup at any given moment whether the boys are a competent team or a time-bomb waiting to go off.
Spoiler alert: Sungyeol ends up saving the day. Because of course he does.

Also, because I am That Fan who has to relate all kpop discussions back to SNSD (W/E, YOU WANTED TO KNOW MORE, NO REGRETS), I feel now is a good time to link back to their own spy-themed music video. Kpop and spies, man, who even knows. (This is not to say I am complaining about the correlation, because spy AUs are scientifically the best.)

Um, I will be watching the hell out of that video when I get home tonight and am not in an office.
because spy AUs are scientifically the best
This is accurate.

I actually really do wish I had the staying power necessary to write this. It would be fun! But I know I don't, so it will stay in graphic/blurb form.

Perfect. Yes, please.
Someday you will have to write a fic for WHAT THE HOLY HELL is going on in the BTD MV - because HELLO I THINK THAT GUY IS A VAMPIRE.

THAT WAS SO FUN! And overtly sexual in a way that kind of surprised me.
no subject
I just have so many Sungyeol feelings about how underrated he is and about how he is perfect and deserves all the love. In my head he always saves the day.
I THINK YOU ARE CORRECT. I MIGHT HAVE TO RIGHT THAT.

oh boy, you should've seen hyunseung's fans, they were positively apoplectic! they did a special perf where they actually kissed and all! hyuna can get away with it easier than most female idoru bc she's known for being sexy; ofc she gets slut-shamed to a ridiculous degree because of it.

so now i finally have time to be obnoxious and demand to know:
DID YOU WATCH IT
DID YOU WATCH IT
ARE YOU FEELING THE MAGIC YET???

I am still pretty new to fandom and everything - I have only been SUPER MEGA INTO the group for about a month and a half - but jklfasdfjlksdfj I have fallen so hard. All I know is some songs + concert/solo stuff + bits of candid footage of the girls giving each other a hard time about random crap (lolllllll that one compilation of everyone yelling at Sunny for being too cute) here and there, but I just have such ridiculous levels of love for everyone's faces and how they are such an adorable family of goofballs and and and girrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllssssss
So! YES. I am basically completely open to further ~education from people more experienced than I in these matters. <3 also, your icon is destroying my soul softly. How is Taeyeon somebody who actually exists in this world? We may never know.
no subject
I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD TO THIS EXCEPT GENERAL SQUEE AND ~FEELS!

this question is what has defined my life for the past four years. i got into this band bc the summer pre-gee i literally spent like 40 minutes youtubing tayeon and since then my obsession with her existence has not abated in the slightest.

omggg, what stuff of hers should I watch? I've only seen her cover of L.O.V.E. and also this, which was sort of almost.....too much for my heart to handle? <3_________<3 HER VOICE THO. How does she even do that. (yet more questions to ask forever with no feasible answers in sight! cool, cool.)

if you want to navigate kpop fandom successfully twitter is actually the most useful thing. not just for super quick and on-the-ball updates made accessible in one place, but because you can for the most part avoid the rubbish people and actually communicate with the good people in fandom. and kpop fans tend to live on twitter; idk what anyone else even does on twitter i swear.
oh man. you know what. there is actually no answer to this question because. she's the lead singer and the most popular apart from perfect beauty yoona so she always gets a ton of screentime – and everything is worth watching? we got a fansign last week for the sub-unit and there's a fancam of like the entire hour and i haven't seen it all but you can literally stare at her interacting with other humans for an hour and not get bored. i mean look at her. she is all expressions and expressions are my kryptonite and i just can never ever ever look away :(((( you can literally just pick an snsd show and run with it; my only suggestion would be to start relatively recent and work your way back.
