Instagram has a feature called explore, a page which shows you suggested content based on things you’ve previously liked, searched for or that people you follow have liked.
Normally, my explore page is full of something to do with the korean entertainment industry, namely funny clips of SHINee, BTS and Super Junior, with a few other artists shown in on occasion.
However, you watch one video of a puppy dancing while getting a hair cut * and all of a sudden, half your explore page is of dog grooming videos. I don’t like dogs, and I don’t care for seeing them with or without a pair of scissors in their face.
You somehow get sucked into a series of food asmr videos one time, and then you are bombarded with people eating ice and aloe vera for weeks to come. I get some people find it relaxing or tingly or whatever, but I’m not going to lie, I watch these things unwillingly with morbid fascination. Like I can’t not look at it. Nobody wants to straight up bite off a chunk of aloe vera and eat it, and you can see that she finds it bloody disgusting too, but hey, each to their own. **
Give me back SHINee being dorks and kiss scenes from korean dramas.
*ok so I may have watched that one video like a thousand times, but it was cute, he was DANCING.
** there is a part of me that quite wants to start an asmr account where I eat squishy foods and they make crunching sounds and vice versa. Like I’m eating a doughnut and instead it sounds like I’m biting through a raw potato. I think that’d be funny. Plus I think asmr makes a lot of money. I’d like to get paid to eat.

Our Page
At the beginning of July, my plan was to blog every day again. Yeah I failed at that. Today, I figured out why.
I only blog on my iPad. I’ve not been using my iPad lately, as I haven’t been watching any drama. I haven’t been watching any drama because I’ve been reading. Also because Six Flying Dragons is bloody long. I mean, I’m on episode 20 and still struggle to watch it at night for more than 15 mins without falling asleep.
So, if I want to blog more, I need to either get back into the habit of watching drama again, or set myself some form of reminder. I’ll probably go with the drama option.
A fair few new ones have come out lately that I want to wat h, so they should have built up a good number of episodes now so I don’t have to wait. Plus I still really want to rewatch DotS.
One more week of school until we break up for the summer. I quite like the end of the school year - it’s always quite chill and we have a party day on the last day where we all just eat party food and play games and then say bye to the leavers. I think I’ll probably cry this year. For the rest of the week we have two trips planned so I doubt much will get done on the remaining two days, meaning the whole week is a bit of a write off really. Which is fine, but it’s not like I get to diss around as much as the kids do. Still, the end is in sight and that is always good.
I’m just going to leave this here.

Paint and Belts
SHINee has always had slightly confusing teaser photos.
I even posted about it before - once in 2012 for Sherlock and again in 2013 for Dream Girl. I’m sure their teasers for every release since then have been as equally weird, but I didn’t post about them.
SHINee are currently gearing up for their comeback, which coincides with their 10th anniversary. A few teasers have already been released, and I already talked about that a little bit in my post complaining about Onew’s hair. SHINee’s fashion choices have also always been a little out there, although I think Key is in charge of that.
Anyway, back to the reason for this post.
These boys crack me up.

Light
SHINee announced their comeback today.
They released a video of the four members, and while Minho and Taemin were looking their normal, idoly selves, Onew and Key were sporting new hair cuts and colours which I hope will make sense during their promotions.
Key is fairly active on social media, so I was already familiar with his hair style change, started by a rather startling video of him shaving it all off (leading to the fear that they were all going to enter the military). I’d seen a photo of Onew at a concert where he was covered up head to toe, suggesting that he’d done something drastic. To be honest, they look quite similar - I know Key shaved his own head, and it looks like Onew cut his own hair.
I liked Onew with red hair when he’s had it in the past, I think it’s just the style that looks a little odd, and to be honest, it just makes me worry about him more.
Hairstyles aside, it was mostly just lovely to see them all smiling so confidently and naturally.
I was just looking for a photo of the clip to put on this post (why is it so difficult to add photos to blogger these days) when I discovered that SHINee released a new Music Video a couple of weeks ago and it totally slipped under my radar. Mostly, this is because it’s Japanese, and SHINee are represented by a different agency for their promotions there, so I’ve always missed their Japanese stuff.
What’s important here though is that Jonghyun recorded this song.

*whispers* SHINee’s back
I started watching Six Flying Dragons. I currently have no idea what the hell is going on.
In other news, I found out two interesting things today. Firstly, that Henry is at the end if his 10 year contract with SM and has decided not to renew. This is no surprise really, he’s been quite vocal with how difficult he has found the company in recent years, but it does make me sad. I worry about what will happen with Super Junior M. I’ll also be sad to see his influence gone in other SM artists work too. But I hope it works out for him and he can have the freedom that SM never afforded.
It does seem like SM are loosing a lot of their talent lately. Obviously not counting the law suits, but first half of SNSD didn’t re-sign, and I’ll bet that f(x) are coming up for renewal soon and I’ll be super surprised if Amber at least doesn’t leave - judging by her recent YouTube career building and solo releases. Super Junior all re-signed, so it looks like they are all here to stay, and TVXQ probably are too. Hopefully SHINee are as well, but I can’t find anything solid about their contract situation, only that they are coming up to their 10 year anniversary.
In celebration of this, SM announced that SHINee would be making a comeback. I’m both really sad and super happy about this. Sad because a comeback minus one member is heartbreaking, but happy because they are and always have been one of my most favourite bands and I will always be excited about their new releases. The members all seem to be keeping busy, except Jinki, I’ve not really heard anything from him other than speculation that he wrote the 10th anniversary comeback advert.
I still feel my eyes prickle when I see the 5 of them together.

SMTown
All of the SM artists are in Dubai at the moment for SMTown, and there has been a lot of activity on social media covering their visit. I saw Minho dancing, which was good, and Key has been posting a lot on his Instagram so I think that’s good too. Taemin always has that serene smile of his, so I’m hoping that he is doing okay too. I’m only really still worried about Onew.
His charges were dropped the other day, finally. Basically, months and months ago, he got really drunk one night, fell over and grabbed a girl on the way down. She went to the police but pretty much instantly dropped the charges, but the claim had been made and investigations had to be done. It was a huge scandal and prevented him from promoting with SHINee. This was upsetting at the time, but plain heartbreaking when Jonghyun died and we realised that was the last chance for the boys to perform together. At the funeral, he didn’t look well, and at the airport the other day, he just looked ... small and sad. There’s been a lot of photos and videos from the top of the Burj Khalifa but I’ve yet to see Onew and that worries me a lot. I’m sure he must have been there, as it looks like everyone is (SMTown, more like SMCity) - I just want to see him messing around with his friends like he used to, with Key slightly off to the side looking all embarrassed.
Ok so I’ve just spent a L O N G time on instagram and have finally found proof that Onew was at the tower, and was smiling. Leeteuk did some form of backstage thing at the concert so I need to find a subbed version of that to get a better idea what they were saying, but they all seemed okay. I even watched some fancams of the show, and yes, I have tears streaming down my cheeks but at least they looked like they were having fun.
My heart is a little more at ease now.
Happy birthday Jonghyun 🌹

Forever Five
I haven’t done very well at blogging through February, have I?
It’s been a busy few days since I last posted. The end of the half term at school was dominated by trying to get my GCSE group to finish the planning pages of their controlled assessment, which they thankfully managed by the skin of their teeth, and then whizzing down South for Eleanor’s birthday weekend. Theno1moo today ....
Ok what the eff. I typed then today and for some reason, it autos to theno1moo?? WHAT.
Anyway. Then today I had to head home for a hospital appointment about my weird stripey eye that is so insignificant than future Heather reading this will have no idea what I’m talking about, before hearing back down south again.
Of course Agi has come down with me. She’s settled right in, but I don’t think she enjoyed the journey much. There was a lot of meowing. Two and a half hours of it, non-stop, in fact. But she’s happy now, and I’m happy, and I’m also pretty sure my parents are happy too.
I read an article today about Shinee’s concert. They had five microphones for the last stage, the centre one empty for Jonghyun. It must have been so hard for them, not only to have to rearrange all the songs, but to have to perform without him, to have the grief of their fans so evident. I can’t quite bring myself to find any fancams yet, the articles suggested it was quiet and somber. It’s a shame, because Shinee concerts always had a reputation for being fun and silly and lighthearted. I hope as their tour goes on, it becomes easier and the boys can enjoy themselves. I think he would have wanted that.

Haru
It's been very close to a month, but I still get caught unaware and find myself with tears in my eyes.
I was just watching the last episode of Degree of Love, and one of their songs came on. It wasn't even a particularly well known one, but I recognised those vocals straight away. The scene was supposed to be funny, but still, there were tears.
Sometimes, I'm watching funny clips of them and smiling, but still, somehow, there are tears.
My instagram feed was full of clips, photos, messages. Constant reminders. Slowly things have moved on and now it's only the odd post, but that almost makes it worse. Unprepared and my heart stops, randomly finding that there are tears.
I think I'm more upset about the boys. I can watch his solo music videos and feel sad and sorry, but it's the five of them together that really gets me. It was a hard year for them, with the scandal and the backlash that kept them from performing together, even the continued controversy just days before, and now the thought that the group will never be whole again is heartbreaking. Especially when they were the only SM original line up. I'm fairly certain they would have been celebrating 10 years this year.
I'm glad they've announced that they will go on, I just hope the boys look after themselves and each other.

The Misconceptions of You
Onew. Jonghyun. Key. Minho. Taemin.
Ah ... I love these boys.
So this is 'Dream Girl'. It's a good song, but I'm not so instantly hooked as I was with 'Lucifer' or 'Sherlock'. I do like the video though. And how Minho gets to do more than dance and rap.
Taemin is so grown up now.
I feel old.

Brides. Brides Everywhere.
In some ways, it feels really pointless to recount today when I spent it with the only person that I know that reads this blog, and yet my pageviews tell me that others read this too, and at any rate, it's my diary.
Wedding dress shopping when you've barely started the dress your supposed to be working on first is somewhat strange. My sisters wedding feels really scarily close now. Though it's always good to be able to get ideas in your head as soon as possible, and now I feel a little more confident in the time scale I have planned for the next year and a couple of months, so that's always good. Things are going to be busy.
SHINee released their new music video this morning. I had it on repeat before I left the house, but I think I'll leave talking about it anymore until tomorrow.

Ikenai Taiyou
I haven't got anything to post about today. My day was pretty unproductive, so I don't really have anything new to share.
I am quite liking the blogger app though. It gives iPhone post a new, less negative meaning. It's just a lot easier than using the web-version.
Also, I'm kind of hooked on this SuJu fanfic. It's about a girl who is forced to pretend to be a guy while living in the SuJu dorms, and pretty much is identical to Hana Kimi.
Thinking about Hana Kimi, the Korean version will be airing soon, with MinHo from SHINee and Sulli from f(x) as the leads. Tonnes of other SM artists are likely to be in it as well, so I'm looking forward to it. Can't complain at another version of Hana Kimi!
Sorry, this was another one of those posts that you couldn't give a crap about.

Grrr Arrgh
I had like two posts in the pipeline, you know. Maybe even three. One was about SHINee's teasers for their new album, Sherlock. Another was about a draft post I found from over a year ago. Lastly, I wanted to share Big Bang's new songs with you, which I have been playing and singing pretty much constantly.
However, I cannot write any of these posts as my laptop is out of service until a professional awesome person can eradicate the virus that has destroyed my beloved laptop.
I hate viruses. I like to think I've done pretty well at fighting them before now, mostly due to having access to an iPhone to google the hell out of 'f***, virus, HELP'. But this one has apparently wiped everything, so I can't even try to do anything. I really don't see the point of them. Do people write viruses just because they ate douche's and want to piss people off? Or do they actually get anything out of it? I'm fairly certain the most they would get out of my laptop is a crappy novel, a lot of Asian music and a dissertation on death. You really want that, virusers?
I very nearly went crazy at the thought of no laptop for a week. You know how much I bitched at little Internet for 5 days, so I'm sure you can imagine how messed up my head was. I'm even contemplating buying a new laptop. But I swiped my father's laptop and screen so I at least can watch City Hunter, and the rest I can rely on my iPhone for.
Ruins my plans for tomorrow though. I'm at the office, and normally I kill the internetless time with spider solitare and editing my nano novel. This time, I was also going to do some of my Japanese audio course, because nothing screams sanity like a girl talking to herself in a foreign language in an empty office with huge shop windows. Now, I think I'm going to head to sainsburies first and buy Catching Fire and Mockingjay, in the hope that they can distract me as successfully as The Hinged Games did. I finished that in less than a day. I slept but didn't eat. Ironic really.
That's enough for today I think. I have no real idea what the majority of this post is about, or if I will have any autocorrect surprises to amuse me later, but that is the joy of the iPhone Post.
