I think at this point we’ve all seen those TikTok/reels videos with the Pope is a rockstar / ‘Go little rockstar’ sound. There’s something utterly wholesome about seeing people recover, underdogs win, little kids grow up, and the cameo steals the scene. So today, I wanted to listen to stories of idols whose journey would fit right into that vibe.
Here’s mine.
This idol debuted on TV when he was only 16, entering a survival audition show where he came in 1st, beating 6k contestants. He signed with a good agency, but that does not mean his path sprouted with roses. He’d train alone because he didn’t fit in with the other groups, and it showed so much so that his mother contacted the company asking for one more chance to let her son grow and not shutter his dreams.
Two years later, he’d be put on yet another survival show, now against other trainees to secure a spot to debut. Only to have the second least lines and little recognition. While his great talent for singing would make the line count grow, he’d still get edited out of variety shows for not being entertaining, eye-catching, or popular enough. While some of the other members started getting gigs to promote the group and shine, he did not. Instead, he’d get hate and accusations of doing plastic surgery just because his looks resembled a top star – something that has been following him since before the official debut.
Flash forward two more years when in a blink of an eye, he almost lost his whole career – an accident during dance practice caused a fractured spine. The injury was so serious and demanding in terms of rehabilitation he’d need to be patient and even use a wheelchair on his worst days.
It is truly heartbreaking to remember which is why my heart is so filled with joy and pride and happiness for the man he is today. For the fact that he overcame the hurt, the problems the group faced, the hate, you name it, and is now taking the place he always deserved. Finally, the world has noticed the remarkable talent, hard work, and passion of Lee Junho of 2pm.
Honestly, the TLDR of this would be that Junho, being always at the bottom in terms of popularity within his group is now putting 2pm back on the map for the new generation of fans. I always smile whenever I see new comments under 2pm videos, saying they came from his latest acting gigs. Remembering just how much he endured and how humble he still is makes me so emotional. I want to say, ‘You’ve made it!’

Her girlfriend is also into tarot and has a great influence on our friend. We are starting to wondering if those crystals have affected our relationship with our friend and if her girlfriend has something to do with that. Picture of the crystals can be seen on this link. https://imgur.com/a/owwOB7G
Celebrated L.A. quartet Warpaint return with Radiate Like This, their first full length in six years, out May 6. “Champion,” the first track to be released from the album, debuts today—listen below.
“Being a champion to oneself and for others,” the band says of the new track. “We are all in this together, life is too short not to strive for excellence in all that we do.”
In the six years since 2016’s much-lauded Heads Up, Warpaints four members—Emily Kokal, Jenny Lee Lindberg, Stella Mozgawa and Theresa Wayman—have been busy living. Babies, jobs, tours, solo albums, intercontinental and cross country moves all became priorities, presenting mounting logistical challenges to getting the band back together, as they say, and allowing a little space to think “what if we didn’t?”
Eventually, though, each of the women found themselves drawn inexorably back together. Warpaint is as much a home for them as a band, having been together for nearly 20 years. They had just completed the foundational tracking sessions with co-producer Sam Petts-Davies (Thom Yorke, Frank Ocean, Skullcrusher) when the pandemic hit and they were forced to retreat to respective safety.

Things have been fucked up lately and I need songs to punch my pillows to. I'd love similar songs like Vultures by Dayseeker and Basic Hate by Wage War.
EDIT: I loved all the song rec's and I couldn't help making a playlist with all of them so here it is
(pure unadulterated hate). I'll keep updating it as more rec's come in
i recently read the norwegian wood by haruki murakami and i really loved that sense of sadness.
I was doing some thinking about how heat transfers from one object to another (it’s snowing so it got me thinking) and I came up with an idea
Let’s say you take a steel cube at room temperature, then put it in a box, made entirely out of one way mirrors shiny side out (so they reflect away from the box) and then pull a perfect vacuum in the box. Btw, the outside world is also room temp
My thought is that, the heat will just radiate away, go through the vacuum, then though the mirrors. The heat has now left the box, and if it reflects back at the box, it just bounces off.
My reasoning is that, everything wants to be at thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, right? And they achieve this by radiating heat between each other. Well if the metal cube is radiating it’s heat into the space inside the box, but there is nothing to absorb it, so it just leaves the box, then the cube will lose heat. but the vacuum doesn’t radiate any back like two objects would.
I’m pretty sure that this wouldn’t work, but I can’t think of why.
You're definitely this 🤓🤓🤓
For me: IZ*ONE’s UP, Airplane, Spaceship and Pink Blusher. What’s yours?
I want to be like this guy who hugs you and you fall asleep in 5 seconds.
That kind of peace.
there are so many people i see and know that radiate so much positive and happy energy and I feel like most of the time these people have a lot of relationships. I wish I was like them.
but I feel like I radiate bad energy. and I try to be respectful of course and treat everyone like they are my equal. but people think I am arrogant probably because I dont talk a lot. but most of the time I dont know what to say and for some reason I feel like I radiate really bad energy, even though I am content and peaceful. A teacher of mine also said that I have an icecold pokerface and some people think I am sad even though I am pretty content.
I dont know what to do about it. Probably people think Im some demon psychopath or smth. When I am around my family I do tend to smile and laugh a lot. But when im outside I just cant do that. I think people are scared of me. Thats also a big reason why I am scared to put myself out there because I feel like people dont like me because of my bad energy. But on the contrary I also dont trust people that much...
Thats also why I hate to interact because I know people will never see through me and know the real me. Im not evil. Im quite nice and peaceful.. But I feel like people cant see that and its really frustrating. Maybe thats weird to say but thats one of the reasons I think I might have a disorder like ADD or autism. I feel misunderstood quite a lot. and its been a reoccurring thing since childhood. and i wish I was like everyone else.
If you're looking to buy tickets for cheap, be careful. The radiate app is full of scammers. Just today I encountered two different people trying to sell tickets, and when I messaged them they both gave me the same phone number to text, even though their accounts are different. Quite obviously being a scam, I reported both the accounts, and warned the others on the app as well. On a side note though, does anyone know a legitimate way to buy "secondhand" festival tickets for cheaper than the websites offer? My friend is trying to come but he's short on cash and can't afford the full 350+fees. Happy Roo everyone 🙌🏼 11 more days
For those who don’t know it’s like an app thats basically a facebook, event planner, and tinder just for ravers. Any of you guys have funny experiences with it or anything?
I apologize if I’m not posting correctly. I’ve always been too scared to post but I found these aligns in store today 🇨🇦 and needed to share the sparkles with someone :-). I’m not sure if I’ll keep them because they’re not super practical/versatile but they are so beautiful and I love the mint chocolate look with Delicate Mint. Super comfortable, they possibly feel slightly big, but I got the same as my usual lululemon legging size (but haven’t purchased any Aligns in a couple years). 5’8” person, 25” Aligns (6), with Delicate Mint Cates Tee (2) and Delicate Mint Scuba 1/2 Zip (XS/S).
