💀 press your number - mystery teaser edition 💀

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

rather than dropping another rush of new teaser photos today, sm has decided to be cryptic. the previous set up of the site from the day prior disappeared to be replaced with just the image above. it's currently just about midway through the 18th kst so that's in just around half a day! speculation seems to be that it could be related to drip drop (which is slated to have a performance video released of on the 22nd), which is the only other song known to be on the album that isn't the title track.



other than this, sm has confirmed that taemin will be making his comeback stage on m!countdown on february 25th, followed by comeback stages on all the other usual shows throughout the same weekend. it's also been confirmed that a wide variety of artists and producers helped in the creation of the album including (along with the obvious already known: bruno mars and the stereotypes): g.soul, ldn noise, kenzie, teddy riley and, of course, jonghyun (referred to in the article as "sm's singer - songwriter representative).

@bumkeyk: go boy go!!!!

my one and only. with his solo debut, i embarrassingly cried far too much for a 25 year old because i just felt so, so proud of him, knowing what his aspirations have been since the start, and feeling like the feel of danger was really closely related to that. not as emotional this time around--well, yet. still cheering loudly, though! go boy go!

Me rn @ the list of ppl involved in this album

lmao same. At least I already know I'm gonna like the song if it sounds similar to that Bruno Mars demo

same but tbh there's jonghyun and g.soul so at least i can expect something notsobad.......

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

I really am appreciating these teasers that they keep coming out with, but I need this to just release already, I don't think my heart can handle it.

Also lol @ the drama that came with the fact that Key was the first member to publicly promote Taemin on social media and not Jonghyun, there were so many posts about it on my dash earlier that I just lawled and kept scrolling.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

lmao @ that. people are taking it way too seriously like jonghyun hasn't used sns in almost three months. plus none of them are obligated to ~support in public when they're already doing it bts (like taemin said on his v app thing earlier) just for the sake of the fans.

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Right? Kept reading that people were either disappointed in Jonghyun or pissed off at him and I was basically just lolololol. I'm sure they're all ecstatic for Taemin, and Jonghyun is probably as excited for him as he was the first time around. Some people are just so silly.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

people are like ... really just wanting jjong to match up to his ott fanboying from taemin's first round of promotions which, don't get me wrong, i loved but he'll support him in other ways. like i had a feeling he was keeping quiet for a reason and i wouldn't be surprised if he went off talking about his addition to the album on his show tomorrow + he hinted at something on the show yesterday that people are speculating means that he's either gonna be involved in taemin's showcase somehow or that taem is gonna be guesting on blue night right after the album drop, so.

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

pretty much exactly @ your comment, honestly. There are other ways outside of social media for all of the members to show their support for him, and aside from that, why do fans think they have to publicly prove themselves with regards to this?

Hell, I'm just proud that Jonghyun is being officially recognized as a singer/songwriter, and his involvement on Taemin's music is way more than enough for me.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

b/c a lot fans gotta have everything go 100% their way, ofc. but, yessssssss. the second i saw they'd referred to jjong as that in the article i got a little emotional, lmao.

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

omg you get so much shit on your blog about the weirdest things I swear. Like if jjong doesn't immediately gush over his Taemin or if god forbid, you as a Jjong blog promote Taemin too. I feel for you!

But also thank you for running one of my favourite blogs out there, bless your heart!!

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

thank you. ;;;; ia though, and it's so bizarre to me. i wish i could just be blunt about it to everyone but you know how that kinda thing goes.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I read it too and I can't @ how stupid and petty people can be. Iirc there was a similar fuzz when Jonghyun debuted and people said that Taemin wasn't supporting him the same that Jjong supported him and now everyone is pissed/dissapointed at Jonghyun for not supporting Taemin publicly like he did during Taem's debut. How not supporting him in social media =/= not supporting him at all when he even compose him a song? I don't know how these people function tbh.
Now I wonder if Onew posted about him in SNS only because he felt pressured by the fans or because he really meant it. I hope it's the last one because Ontae seem really close anyway.

You have so much patience to deal with all that bs tbh.

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

LOL right?
I swear all fandoms are fucking nuts.

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

I'm not ready to let go of the ACE era, this is all happening so fast. ;__;
Key's caption makes me want to hear Taemin cover "Run Boy Run" lol.

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

reminds me of odd

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

Shit my expectations for this album are climbing fast but I am so worried about getting disappointed.

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

Ugh.. uuuugh.
I'm dying here. Just release the album already. I can't do this anymore. I'm weak and deprived of sleep.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

i'm so hyped for this but i feel like i gotta lower my expectations a bit....just in case...

also kibum's support <3

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

19th midnight? omg, that's in 4 hours here O_O. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be either Drip Drop or another MV preview, longer this time, since the highlight medleys were scheduled for the 22-23th iirc?
I should calm down because the expectations are over the damn roof right now. If he doesn't slay I'm gonna be pressed forever.
And omg @ Jjong being considered the singer-songwriter representative of SM. Get that recognition bb!
Aside from Kibum, Onew supported him too: https://www.instagram.com/p/BB6kmVPwnpM/?taken-by=dlstmxkakwldrl. I literally melted at the hashtags.
