do you have any wishlist for comeback promotions this time too?

yes omg!!
youngji’s youtube show is still on my list obviously!
and since all the members already attended lmj service jaehyun is likely to go this time. so that too.
other than those for jaehyun i would love to see him guest on “john park’s small talk”. i feel like he would really enjoy the atmosphere of the show! (koz hear me out pls)
for group promos “salon drip” is still on my list, and id like to see them on “workdol” too! (maybe nunnyangz for workdol? but i don’t really have any preference. id be happy to see any of them going)

in jaehyuns recent live onedoors told him that they’re happy that they love him that they’re a myungpeu/myungyeoja i’m happy as well that he gets to know that 😭 loving him makes me happy.. i hope i don’t get separated from him 🥺

i saw this a few days late sorry anon </3
but the timing is kinda perfect bc jaehyun was just saying today how much he loves doing what he does, and no matter how much he thinks about it, this is what brings him happiness. he’ll be the singer of your life for as long as you love him and stay around <33

i'm the person who sent the previous note, and please don't misunderstand me 🙏🏻 i just wanted to say something about that to avoid any misunderstandings
(pls dont share my note on tl)

also thank you for your translations!!

hello <3
yeah no worries i understand your statement but there are two things here
kfans censor names quite often, it’s just pretty common between them
i did want to censor but then again if i did ppl would ask why i were censoring
and this was op’s personal opinion so i don’t see anything wrong with it, but yeah i have been keeping an eye on it bc i was worried it would be taken out of context either way
but still ty and yw 🫶🏻

i’m sorry for asking this but are you perhaps lesbian? i just never see you talking about jaehyun’s looks or twt things like that
feel free to ignore though if this is too personal

umm.. this is so random??? it’s already on my rentry page so i don’t mind answering but no, im asexual.
and yeah no i‘m not straight or attracted to the opposite sex, if that’s the answer you’re looking for haha

hello <3

op asked leehan to sign their album for them under “ddingshud’s owner” (dding + dachshund - op’s nickname for jaehyun)
then leehan’s asked them “what’s your ddingshud’s special talent?”, and was looking at jaehyun to see his reaction as op moved to talk to him

Hi. I Have a question and I’d be glad if you could help with
I have been studying the lyrics of “I Wonder” and there’s one word at the end that I can’t find in any dictionary or on web
How did you translate 달픈 in 넌 내 달픈 마음이야

ah.. i also struggled with that part specifically

달픈 is in adjective form so the standard form should be 달프다, but there’s no such thing in korean. there are two other words 애달프다 (heartrending, the state of pain and regret in heart bc of sth that happened) and 고달프다 (weary, physically and mentally exhausted) which make the adjective form of 애달픈 and 고달픈. so 달픈 alone is kinda ambiguous.

there was this article in namublog which explains the origin of 애달프다, claiming that 애 comes from the chinese character 愛 (love) and 달프다 means sorrow and regret, so 애달프다 means sadness or regret over sth/sb you’ve loved, and it’s usually used when u let go of a loved one or part way (this was the only place i saw 달프다)

there was also this very old ost called 달픈 which contained the lyrics of 달픈마음, and was translated to “aching” and “aching heart” when i looked for it.

i also asked a friend and they said it could be a bland of two words like 달콤한 슬픔 (sweet sadness) or 달콤한 아픔(sweet pain) since koreans often tend to use shorten terms like that (i think that’s what i put in the notes too)

it could be just 애달픈 turning to 달픈 for the sake of poetry and the meter of the lyrics. but considering the previous line which said “as much as i am nervous” or “do you know i am as nervous as i am happy” in previous verses, i thought that was probably the best interpretation due to of the emphasis on both feelings existing at the same time.
so in the end “sweet aching” was what i come up with, and that was why i put **rough trans at the end too. i probably should’ve made a clearer note, but i was literally on autopilot that night, so sorry about that </3
