i'll be explaining it a lot but i guess this is the first place i'll do it. so, why?
well i originally wanted to use that channel as a one off thing for you guys to see me edit. as in here's a time lapse, now you can watch me edit. you know just little behinds and stuff.
i then had the idea to make it into a how would channel (this was before the whole ai covers btw) but i decided against that as i never really cared for the how woulds/how shoulds anyway. i do like to try and properly distribute to the best of my ability but i never really cared to make it into a video.
november of 2024, i started thinking about lyric videos i want to do, but i can't finish the discography because of former/current problematic members in groups.
this pertains to people like taeil or lucas. even people that aren't as problematic as them, woojin who was a former skz member. i was a stay from 2018-2020, so to see how the members felt at their first concert without woojin was heartbreaking and chan talking about how they're 8 and re-recording their old music.
it really has me disliking woojin even more because he definitely broke some promises with the members and although i'm obviously not any of the members, i can't bring myself to even make lyric videos with him included.
with some groups that have former members it's different. i'm willing to make lyric videos with jay park apart of 2pm as the members actually like him. yeah i know that jay park is controversial, i pretty much have a like-dislike relationship with the man. one minute he'll say something inspirational, really cool. then next minute he's doing something offensive so it's hard for me to hate him completely, as well as like him.
but discography is a big deal for me if that isn't already obvious. i love finishing it. i made a promise to myself to make these videos as accurate as possible and to complete as much as the discography from one group as i can.
i feel an accomplishment from it and it makes me proud. and i feel just as accomplished when making a video for an artist i'm not as familar like ones i am more used to.
since i can't do nct fully, i do like some of their songs and i think it'd be nice to make some videos. even if it's a group and the members haven't done anything wrong in that aspect, i'll still do it.
and no, i'm not excusing other problematic things idols have done. we should acknowledge this stuff rather than hide it from people who are new to the fandom or kpop in general and share. it's good to know that someone has done this or that, because it shouldn't be swept under the rug just because people in the fandom want it to be.
i can't forgive idols for what they said or did as it may have not affected me, but rather other people of different backgrounds (race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.) so just know i'm not ignoring that. i'm aware of what the groups i currently work on have done problematic things and the groups i want to work on in the future have also done problematic things. it's inevitable to escape unfortunately.
wanted to say that to make sure i'm not saying one's worse than the other, they're bad in their own way and i feel guilty for not speaking up on it as much as i should (will be doing that in due time in a special way, so expect special posts on my main channel in the next coming months).
back to our main topic, there are some groups i'm interested in making lyric videos for (discography and all) but then there are groups where i like only some songs and i'm not that interested in making videos for all of their songs. that's one of the reasons why the channel exists.
there's another reason, but i can't spoil it as it's a surprise. i don't expect much to happen when announcing it, so i'll just be doing my thing in the meantime on both channels. doing the discography on the main channel and different songs by different groups on the second.
it'll be really fun for me and i hope it will be fun for you guys in the future as well. also assuming you guys like the next layout as much as i do. and it's not mine like the first one so i'll be getting into that when i end the first layout officially and then i come out with the official introduction layout for the second. i got a lot to talk about.
from, dear moon (shelby)
