Lunafly is surely a kpop artist but we are different and we should be different.
Because lunafly is only one in the world.

This is one of the many reasons why I love PD-nim. He is just so great, and this brings out so many emotions. Is this one of the reasons why on the official Facebook page Lunafly is described as a "post idol boyband?" lol

I love Lunafly for many reasons. One reason is because of the Lukie fandom. There is no real distinction between official/Korean Lukies and international Lukies. I know many groups do that a lot, and companies give people who are part of the offical fanclub many perks international fans don't get. Nega Network and Lunafly make all Lukies feel close to them and part of one giant family (Sam says we're a family ALL the time). Just look at what their PD-nim posted above. He also follows, RTs, and/or shares things various fanbases and Lukies post. Just the other day he was sharing on Facebook about different fan projects for Yun's birthday. I love that and couldn't ask for more. (Well except for Lunafly to come to Chicago, but we'll have to wait and see if that will happen. lol)

Another reason is their music. It's so easy to see how dedicated Sam Imgyu Cater, Shin Taeho, and Han Seunghun are about music. It shows though in all their songs and performances. Besides, not many Kpop groups release 95% of all their song in Korean AND English. That's something special, and the main reason why I started stanning Lunafly. They also write and compose most of their songs and aren't afraid to try many different genres. Sam even said he wanted to try EVERY genre even going so far as to specify gangsta rap in one interview. I can't imagine them doing it, but hey, let them try it! Their musical inspiration are amazing too! Sam's is will.i.am, Teo's is pop-jazz singer Jamie Collum, and Yun's is Eric Clapton (I can see the guitar influences). You don't get answers like that from many people in Kpop. What you also don't get is people like Teo who say their favorite genre is jazz and want their group to record an instrumental jazz album.

Another reason is the relationship between the members. Sugar-high, random, sassy Teo can be a handful and give Leader a headache and cause Yun to join in on pranks, but you can tell how much they love one another. Sure Sam and Teo may tease Yun relentlessly about his sausage lips or when fans talk about how much them love him and/or his singing, but I don't think Yun let's that bother him even if he pushes his bandmates away or hides his face. They're brothers, and you can tell that.

Sam is the wise, more experienced hyung who knows what to do to lift up the atmosphere and calm Yun and Teo down when things get out of hand (or Teo is causing Yun to laugh uncontrollably as the case may be). He is the leader due to being the eldest and had a hard time in the beginning as there was a language barrier. Now, well, he only has trouble understanding Teo's mixture of English ("Tenglish"), Korean, and onomatopoeias sometimes and is someone Teo and Yun can truly lean on.

I think it can be said that Teo keeps Sam young, though sometimes I think the stress Teo's antics bring can age Sam. Most of all Teo is Lunafly's mood maker, and that plays into the relationship he has with Sam and Yun. He is the only member that likes aegyo and will force his bandmates to perform it because 1. it's part of his sassy nature and he likes messing with them that way and 2. he knows the fans love it. He also is the member that can cause Yun to bend over and laugh so much he doesn't breathe. I know from experience that only truly good friends can cause that reaction. Teo and Yun were the first two members who came together, so it's no wonder that they can sit down, jam, and make wonderful music from nothing. It takes a great understanding of music and the people you're playing with to be able to do that. Add in Sam with his love of a wide variety of music (is there a genre he DOESN'T like?), and you've got another something special.

Now shy, maknae Yun. He is the one fans say has a heavenly voice, and the one who can be coerced into doing wacky things with Teo. Play a prank on Sam on his special day? Why he would never! Teo said a few words, and the two are are off to prank their leader into getting into an elevator half naked. (I totally flipped out when I heard that story.) I think he is they type of guy who would be happy simply with a guitar and the ability to sing. He also seemed so content in the beginning of a Lunafly Music TV episode where he was playing various guitar riffs before a gig. It gave me the impression that music is something Yun was meant to be doing. (I'm so glad he wasn't put in that dancing idol group that he started out training for.) All that leads Yun to be a great person for Sam to come together with and write wonderful music. (Teo's love of jazz helps with that too.)

lol I wrote a novel seeing as the writer in me got carried away. tl;dr I REALLY, REALLY love Lunafly.
