the live lit up on screen revealing a recently showered jungkook with a new years headband sitting aon top of his damp hair and his face decorated with 2024 glasses
hello hello!
he smiles broadly, waving into the camera as the chat and the live begins to fill up with fans.
hello hello, oh!! hello brazil! happy new year everyone! woooooo. so many people from all over the globe! thank you for joining me as we ring in the new year. I'm a bit late for korea hahahah. I won't hold you all for too long... unless...
he flashes a flirty smile towards the camera, looking absolutely ridiculous and even more so with his glasses on.
what are my new years resolutions? hmmmm.. to enjoy this year in full and not take privileges for granted. mhm
Oh! working out a lot more and making new music, maybe learning a new instrument? a lot. just improving myself and expanding my knowledge. what about you guys?
he sits back in his chair letting the fans answer, his eyes skim over a couple
ohhh, graduate college? that one is good, you guys can do anything if you want to. just have to be determined.
losing weight? if that's something YOU want to do and doing it for you and your health then of course. just keep a consistency routine. that's all it is consistency.
see janus live? that's a good one. i miss flares so much, I miss performing for you, that's why i'm so excited today to be performing at the jingle ball tonight. this will be our first time , it's nerve wracking but we got this- uh oh
i think i'm being called
he looks down at his vibrating phone that is none other than their manager aka ceo.
he gives an apologetic smile and waves towards the camera once again
i will catch you guys later. i have rehearsals soon , please watch our performance and cheer us on! HAPPY NEW YEARS!
he leans into the screen letting his nose take up all the space and ends the live
it had been so long since jungkook had even showed his face on any social media , let alone went live to keep his fans updated. what if no one shows up? what if all his fans we’re disappointed with him? these thoughts plagued his mind as he nervously hits the red button to go live.
he leans back into his gaming chair , something he had bought since his trip to put in his room in the dorm. It was just him after all, his roommate making arrangements to sleep elsewhere. the company phone was propped up next to his computer set up, sitting at an angle that allows the fans to see his torso and up
hello! it’s been a long time no see huh?
he smiles into the camera after a pause of silence to allow fans to flood in the chat. all his worries were relieved instantaneously.
I missed you all, i hope you all missed your Prince Charming.
to his surprise it’s easy to fall back into the same habits, flirting with his fans and sincerely connecting with them. he takes the time to ask them questions along the lines of ‘have you eaten’ , ‘are you keeping warm’ , ‘the end of the year is coming have you thought about any resolutions?’
ah me? I’ve been away, huh? I have been traveling. Breaks are sometimes needed and I encourage our beautiful flares to prioritize your mental health and wellbeing. besides we have to keep them pesky lil eye bags away hm? Stress isn’t good for the skin you know.
he takes a moment to read comments out loud and answer basic questions; he decides to answer the most common one. shifting in his seat to push back a bit so he could fully outstretch his tattooed arm
I did get a couple tattoos while i was away
the couple of tattoos in question being a full sleeve something he had been wanting to complete for awhile now
each one is very meaningful to me. I drew them all myself.
maybe we’ll do a tattoo tour next live. i would like to show you more stuff on live now that I’m back. Maybe I’ll even stream some video games? I’ve been really i to overwatch and apex a lot here lately. But these are ideas for next time. I unfortunately have to go!! I know , don’t cry. We’ll be seeing more of each other from now on
stay cute and healthy
he winks at the camera, shoving a finger heart into frame as he ends the live
//nods in rapid succession/
Mm, that too - depending on the fabric all the layers can make ti very hot, especially while dancing. I hope they thought about that.
//taps the table/
Honestly the only thing I could pull off is a runway strut. Layers is definitely not my style, and it *is* constrictive... I agree with you on every mark. Let's see how they dealt with them further.
//presses play and watches/
Okay, first verse, and immediately the layers are gone.
//laughs, looking at the shirtless man on the screen/
This is giving me faux leather... definitely not real... which has its pros and cons... or... the vest could be satin too actually. And he has nothing underneath so, it's obvious what the styling is focusing on here.
//motions to the abs in plain sight/
I don't think this will be an outfit for dance scenes at all.
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ that's right. and you should support them if they want to do many things at once. don't limit them, everyone!
/wags her fingers at the camera and leans back, straightening her back/
let's get to the topic.
layers? why layers? is it a little too hot? honestly from a dancer's perspective, layers could be really constrictive. the reason why is that if a choreography is complex, layers are completely out of questions. but in a fashion sense, it is way overboard i feel. Layers are great if done right but this... ah... it make me think twice about the choice. two layers are enough to be honest. furthermore it had to embody the person wearing it yet in this one, it is not... embodying to the point that it is this person's style, personality.
/looks at chrystal's side profile for a bit/
what do you think so? if it were you wearing those, will you be able to pull that off and still feel it is you?
@◈ im jinah ɴᴀɴᴀ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ //rolls my eyes at people being narrow-minded/
Why not? People can be multi-talented.
//rolls my eyes again at you claiming to be forced/
Yeah, yeah, of course, as if i forced your hand, ANYWAY. No need to be nervous. They should be.
//points to the screen, where the MV is loading, and shares the screen to our stream, so people see what we see/
Speaking of - lets begin. Okay layers. Layers. A lot of shirts and layers... did this stylist want to pack all of their available items... Okay the intro is full of cut scenes and we didn't see all too much, but still any opinions so far? I saw a lot of layers and that can be tricky if not executed properly, so i will be keeping an eye on that.
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [nana is talking to chrystal about something and noticing the comments and viewers flooding in, she decides to cut the conversation short and sits upright, waving at the camera to greet the viewers]
all-around bad ? what the... that's amusing.
ohhh, reviewing.
/nods along as i listen to you doing an intro and take this moment to read the speedy chat comments/
one of the comments was asking the question... why is a former model now a choreographer?
why can't I? nobody say a model should be a model forever right?
as to why i am here.. I'm basically *forced* so here I am and it has been a long time since i last commented on someone else's fashion so I'm nervous right now.
@◈ im jinah ɴᴀɴᴀ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ IG LIVE TITLE: [CHRYSTAL JUDGEMENT] Janus (야누스) - 'INSIDE OUT' M/V
Time Stamp: 17:45:27 Seoul Time
[live starts on mute with Chrystal and Nana just talking to each other while people pile up to watch and comments start pouring and that's when the channel is unmuted and they both turn to the screen]
Hello. This is Chrystal Jung, and i will be the host of Chrystal Judgement today. And any other day. With me is my friend, ex-model, current choreographer, all-around bad - Im Jinah, aka Nana.
We will be judging... *reviewing* the fashion and outfits of Janus' MV for the track "Inside Out" off their latest EP - Midnight Sun.
//rattles out the necessary intro the PDs provided and once they are happy I can proceed with skimming over comments briefly and finally use my own words/
What are my qualifications for this - easy. I am a renowned stylist, a fashion designer of my own, a creative director of my own fashion line called "Je Suis...", and have been working as DSF's senior stylist for years. I have not styled Janus for this MV in particular, so my opinion will be unbiased.
//takes a meaningful pause to take a sip of lemon water while squinting at the screen/
*seeing Solar moving into the frame has me widening my eyes in surprise yet i shift my seat aside so she could be seen fully*
ah right, she was nominated for the award. Moonshines! Please click on her name for the category!!!
Send her a lot of love! You will? Moonshines, you heard her right? Spam that button!
*looks behind at Solar and giggles mischievously before bringing my upper teeth on my lower lip to make a F sound*
Flush. Royal f-flush. But i think the way unnie say it is adorable. It is why our Moonshines love her, right? An idea just popped into my mind, unnie. You and Romeo sunbaenim should do a variety show together, I'm sure it'd be a hit. Right, Sua?
Of course I did!
You know that i’m DIA’s biggest supporter
/nods furiously, wiggling my eyebrows after before I let out a soft laugh.
Thank you for the support~
If I win, i’m gonna write a song for DIA
/nods to myself playfully.
//decides to screw the ban and walks in frame, seating myself on the bed slightly behind Eunbi, waving at the camera, then i turn on my own stream app to look at the comments/
Did you vote for us Sua-yah?
Everyone, did you know Sua-ssi was also nominated for the Songwriter Daesang? Make sure you vote for her!
//makes a gesture as if I'm "clicking" to show how to vote, but then i roll my eyes/
Yah, Hwang Eunbi! Don't mock your seniors! How do you say it, huh?
/gasps when I saw Solar spraying Eunbi, grinning widely.
I'm sure DIA eonnies will win
I'm definitely sure!
Don't tell the others i'm rooting for you
/brings my index finger up to my lips as if saying it's a secret.
Beat the heat with water? Should we squirt water at the Sun?
I don't mean our Solar unnie. No way...
*waggles my finger at the camera before looking up, wondering where these water droplets come from*
Is the ceiling leaking..? Chaeyeon unnie, is our room leaking water or something..?
*notices many comments saying about one of our members spraying water and i turn back to look at the older females*
Solar unnie, it's you? As expected of our Squirtle. For many of you who don't know about this waterbomb festival... uhhhh. It is not only water festival itself but also an awards show as well. So far... I don't know if DIA will win. Janus will be here too.. as well as Royal Plush-i.
*imitates Solar's way of saying it on previous livestream*
Royal Pluuuuuuuuuuush-i. Sua ah, don't you think we will win?
/grins widely when I see Solar, moving my phone back so I can wave- almost flailing- quite enthusiastically.
As one of the members of moonshine, being a moon myself, I'm happy that I get to watch you all on stage
/nods to myself as if I'm making a speech only to chuckle softly.
Awwww thanks eonnie
Oh do stay hydrated!
Don't forget to beat the heat with water
Right, moonshine?
Oh it's Sua! Heyyyy! Long time no see.
*chuckles lightly while shifting aside for Solar to blow her kisses and shifts back in my previous position*
Already? How long had it been since we all last met? It must be really long.
It's a pity you can't join us.
Moonshines, everyone. It's Moon Sua~ Give a clap!
*applauds as i get busy reading one of the comments which stands out a lot*
How to clap? Use the emoji. Tap a lot of it to make it an applaud.
Oh Sua is crying...? Ah don't cry, one day you can be with us. Also do support Sua to make her debut one day!
Right now, in Tokyo, it's a little hot and we are just staying in the room with AC on to beat the heat.
@☾ hwang eunbi ʰʷᵃⁿᵍᵇᶦ Eonnieeeee~
/squeals out as I laugh, camera shaking before I pout.
I already miss you eonniessssss
/pretends to sniffle before I bow my head politely and grin.
Please continue supporting our dear DIA eonnies~
@♊︎ moon sua ᴸᵁᴬ Oh.. i'm right. Jennie unnie is heading there to rehearse now.. oh.. who sent in a request to join?
Ah! it's... hang on, Moonshines! hang on.
*reaches out to tap on the request bar and tap accept before returning back to reading comments*
what's the concept of our clothes for the red carpet later? Oh... Farmers!
*slyly look behind at unnies and then at the camera while springing up from the chair to show the outfit*
Pretty right? Wait, who is that appearing soon?

[ the Live started and the viewer count rapidly increasing ]
Chaeyeon unnie, want to join in? Aww, just your legs? But your voice can be in it right?
*points at the phone that is in front while looking on in worry at solar unnie before turning back to face the camera after chaeyeon waved to say she is not joining*
hello Moonshines! hello. Konnichiwaaaaa.
*reading a comment while squinting* Are you asking what we are doing? We are all dressed up and now is waiting for our makeup artists to call us down. So i thought i should do this live to greet you all before we go on there.
I'm so excited that it's my first time being at a festival like this.
*reading another comment while mumbling to myself*
where's Jennie, Solar and Chaeyeon? Ah, currently.. Solar and Chaeyeon is in the room with me while Jennie is off rehearsing for her MC part... right?
*looks at Solar behind me to double-confirm*
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ he is mockinggg meeeee - moonies , help me
he mocks in an obnoxiously pitched voice, sticking his tongues out at the camera. the chat explodes with laughing emojis and playful banter about jungkook being mean vs solar being a cry baby
USE THE KOREAN WORD THEN DUH
he says , shaking his head in fond amusement
anyways moonies and flares guess what else we got-
he stands up a bit too eager, pushing himself off the couch causing the light stick he had set in his lap to fall off and onto the floor , cracking the plastic
nah nah nah
he immediately starts shaking his head, already done with the memes that will be sent his way.
nope, goodnight moonies and flares, we out . have an amazing day/night. make sure to hydrate!
shoves his palm in view of the camera and unceremoniously turns the live off
@☼ jeon jungkook ʳᵒᵐᵉᵒ Royal... P... mmm...
//pouts, looking up at you absolutely pathetically, filled with confusion as to what I'm doing wrong/
//whines further, absolutely convinced i am saying the same thing/
