How was your first job and any tips to those looking looking for jobs for the first time?

look for a job before you graduate!
my first job had a higher pay than average because i applied early, beating out all the competitors. post grad when all my friends were either freaking out over employment or fooling around, i was already learning my ropes. plus i graduated knowing i had job security. i also had the two months or so to consider other job offers and see if the one i chose was right for me.
make sure your resume is nice and professional! get a friend to read it and give advice. your cover letter should be personalised to the company to show you did your research eg. mention a past achievement of the company that you admire.
even if you have all the skills, if you can't communicate that, you might bomb the interview. prepare. google possible interview questions, practice. record yourself answering to listen to how you sound.
your zero experience knowledge will not beat that of someone in the industry, so humble yourself and learn. what you learn in uni is likely a fraction of rl work or perhaps even irrelevant. do internships to make sure your field is what you want to work in. your internship may translate into a full time position.

hi! so i need your opinion on something...do you think i should buy the lightstick version 2 now or (should i just wait for the new version) idk maybe bcs there's a possibility that sm will release a new version anytime soon?

if you're not planning to go to encore, don't buy it until new con begins at least because i bet there'll be 3.0 for new con

I read from your previous answers that you can get the cheapest albums in Myeondong. Do you know where it's best to buy there?

the underground mall at exit 5 and 6 of the subway! all four stores are close by and prices barely differ so just compare prices if you want.

so um did you hear? "if you were a pet, who would you want as your owner?" and chanyeol answered jongin.... ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

OH. OHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh are you really seeing Doyoung? ;-; I didn't know you like NCT so I was pleasantly surprised you mentioned him on twitter. Can you rank your faves in NCT 127?

nct127 is coming to malaysia for a con with red velvet and yesung on the 23rd! i like nct dream but don't really pay attention much to nct as a whole. i did play the producing app and watch some of their varieties so i know... enough? i just have a fond spot for doyoung, my second fav in nct after jisung.
1. doyoung
2. winwin
3. johnny
4. jaehyun
5. mark
6. yuta
7. taeyong/taeil/haechan (i don't know enough about them...)

ahh true...as always overseas con got the short end of a stick :(

the lightstick sold out so they couldn't have done bluetooth lights anyway :( and seoul cons are almost four hours long so ofc overseas cons are simplified ;~; i just feel bad for stops like the states where even water stages are cut off.

:o why was tedhk a letdown???

i watched exordium seoul and expected the same intro with the members coming out one by one with their powers but hongkong (and all subsequent cons) didn't have all of the effects or even the colour changing lightsticks :( seoul had an eversing singalong before the con even.

ooohh that is such an interesting concept! is it only available in busan or do you reckon it's available anywhere? 🤔

i've seen this at many tourist spots actually! you can even do it online via email using sites like futureme.org

that's so interesting! but how do you do it (sending the letter for you to receive 1 year later)?

there's two mailboxes at the midpoint hike of the village - 500won ($0.45?) postage for either an immediate postcard or one that's sent a year later. of course i sent one to myself! anyway the gamcheon cultural village is where the famous coloured houses are in busan.

Hi! My friends and I are planning on going to Korea in early October. Any places you can recommend? You seem to know Korea quite well :)

huhu i don't really know korea that well. is it your first time? all the touristy stuff -namsan tower (bring your own locks), bukcheon hanok village and palaces (rent a hanbok!!!) etc- should be enough to fill your time but my favourite parts of korea:
- i honestly just don't leave hongdae when i'm in korea lol.
- ehwa university area is better for cosmetics shopping than myeondong is. when it's peak autumn, the uni grounds is lovely! (you're a little early for leaves tho)
- i HATE myeondong. myeondong is however the best place to buy cheap albums
- cafe hopping in garosugil! so many small boutiques.
- i love the rose garden on top of ddp in autumn + if you're up for it, grab some cocktails from the little stall
- ihwa mural village is fun to hang out with friends. you can combine it with ddp and dongdaemun.
- silly animal ears in lotte world is a friendship trip must
- there's a fireworks festival by hangang river first week of october
- i'm not sure if you're an exo fan. if you are, the exo doll clothes store is opposite art box and su karaoke in hongdae. there's also a raccoon cafe in the same building.
- even if you're not a sm fan, go to coex sum anyway and see the height of commercialisation.
anyway i've only been to seoul thrice and twice was purely to see exo haha. i can give better tips for busan if you want.

but i think you were much busier when you had your previous job than now...compared to before you're rarely here but with this new job you seem to be here more and seems relax ig???

my new job is much more flexible! i work on digital too so being on social media IS my job haha. i'm in a much more senior role now though so more responsibility but admittedly i'm busy because i want to be. i'm loving the new roles i have and don't mind putting in all these extra hours.

are you a sasaeng?

i live an 8 hour flight from exo and have only seen them at cons. so, no. but why??? would? you think? this?

if you were to design a setlist for an exo-con, what would it include?

Cath
honestly exo concerts are so well done there's nothing much i'd change. no other concert is as visually stunning or varied in stages.
but if i had to, no water stages for sure because they hate it. i'd want proper subunit and solo stages so the boys can take time resting and stop looking dead at the three hour mark. they REALLY need to cut down on how exhausting the current tracklist is.
also performances beyond their own songs - a band performance, more dance duets, rock or funk songs, crossdressing or covers ㅠ
most importantly replace the encore song with promise ㅠ you wrote the song for fans so why don't you sing it anymore :(
+ I HATE CALL ME BABY STOP PERFORMING IT

I read this: https://archiveofourown.org/works/2268084 I don't read shinee fics often but this one was so beautiful ;_; I'm curious abt the characterisation, do they still portray jongin as the bad boy type? or is it some other issue?

yes, jongin is often portrayed as cold and a bit rude, but that's how most characters are written. from what i've read, the korean fic style is usually very sparse- a big block of text followed by clipped conversation. you're right to compare it to a manhwa because it does seem like the kind of conversation you can find in manhwa speech bubbles. i find the writing more poetic than story-like too tbh.

this might be a bit random but do you read korean fics? I can't read hangul but I tried reading a translated fic once, and it felt really... different. The atmosphere was dreamy and it's like reading a manga? (it's hard to explain). or maybe that translated fic was just a really good one, hmm..

i don't like the characterisation in korean fics :c i only read chankai fics when i'm desperate. what did you read?
