hongjoong, i really loved seeing this with behind the scenes and you sharing your thoughts! i could only do a very rough translation myself, so hopefully i'm not misunderstanding anything you said. you sharing about being drawn to mysterious colours, colours that cannot be defined, and gravitating towards clothing (styles?) that no one else would really stood out to me. it's one of the things i really admire about you and get a lot of inspiration from. a passion for individuality, embracing uniqueness of self, following your own melody. being defined by no one other than you. it's eclectic, yes, but it's also so much more than that. truly a 'hongjoong style'. also, if i understood correctly, you've been able to wear some of your own clothing you've bought for the albums? that's amazing! i really, really love seeing you putting clothing pieces together to create outfits! it's another subtle peek into your mind, and it's so incredibly cool every time. granted, you're very busy right now, but one day, would you ever consider a live or a vlog of some kind where you go more in depth with styling and put outfits together? it would also allow you to be able to share more of your specific thoughts in a focused space purely for fashion and self expression. even if it's just 2+ hours of you rambling about a lot of aspects, i'd watch it fully; it's something deeply close to your heart that you've created more interest and inspiration in, and seeing that shining in your eyes when you're talking about meaningful things is so beautiful. as for what you styled here? i love it; it's really pretty! ☺️💚🌻 every one of the looks for this fashion shoot look stunning on you. you really did show more sides and facets and colours of yourself through it, and every one is a treasure. it's so hard to pick a favourite because i really like all of them, but if i absolutely had to, the outfit with pearls and flower, and the gray ensemble with hoodie! i adore the layering and subtle details. and once again, the styling does have a genderless aspect that really touches my enby heart. lastly, because i can't not talk about it, your cherished smile. throughout the video, but especially right at the end. heart-meltingly beautiful. it was such a precious way to end the video, with your voice that is so loved singing softly your own song, your shining smile, and then the shy laugh after. a treasure. i'm so happy for you that you were given the opportunity to shine like this, beautiful soul. it's such an amazing feature, and i'm really looking forward to knowing what else you shared in it. whenever it's time for you to depart for paris and glow brilliantly for fashion week again, i'll be sending full support again and warmest wishes for more beautiful memories to create. take care well now; i'm so proud of you! may the remainder of your day be kind and surround you in loving care. all the best for all you're working on, especially as you're probably trying to get as much completed and ready before you leave. fighting!!! i love you so very much always. 🫶🏻☀️❤️✨️🏵💐🌻🍀☘️ #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #larknotes
