Why You Should Stan: Kim Jinwoo (EXIT:E Edition)

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to make this post all about how pretty he is. I'm sure y'all already know that. So, on to the next point!

I'm not going to jinx him by calling him unproblematic, but he hasn't done anything stupid so far. Whenever he trends on a popular Korean media-site, It's for something ridiculous like this

#WINNER’s Jinwoo Takes the Longest in the Bathroom for Unusual Reasonhttps://t.co/Z3Qq3G03Sa pic.twitter.com/QNuSaf1OqV

— Soompi (@soompi) February 12, 2016

(He mentioned that he watches entire movies [Veteran] in the bathroom, and it was on the front page of Naver for a full day. Guess it was a slow news day or people are just really interested in what Jinwoo does in the bathroom?)

(Again with an article about his bathroom habits. When will he get his toilet paper CF tbh?)
If you want to stan somebody that you don't have to oppalogize for, Jinwoo is your best bet(for now).


Meet Jinwoo's cats- Rei and Bey(guest appearance from Haute- Seunghoon's dog [follow him on ig @maetamongisdad])

If these cats are not living proof that Jinwoo is all about inner beauty, I don't know what is.

First thing he does in the morning:

the first thing they do when they wake up:
MH eats
TH+JW feeds their cats
SY brushes his teeth
SH cleans his dog's poop

(I don't know why they don't just make a roster so one person feeds all the cats at once)

You probably spotted Rei in the Baby Baby Video

Another picture of half of the Winner zoo in Seunghoon's room during a V-App broadcast.

For more of the cats bullying Haute, watch this.

Jinwoo playing with Haute.

SHSYTHMH is saying JW knows that he's good looking

SY says JW unnecessarily sweeps his hair back after showering
DJ says he does it too

— christina (@chrissy96_) February 22, 2016

When does JW feel the most handsome?
JW: right after i shower
DJ: stop making me imagine it!

— christina (@chrissy96_) February 22, 2016

Don't judge me. I can't be the only one who likes hands on Omona.

Jinwoo has been obsessed with this show for months.

Winner is doing a parody for their concert. Starring Jinwoo as Taek.

FANACC) 160213 DAEJEON FANSIGN
F: pls talk
JW: no mic
F: bc ur handsome ur funny even when u don't talk
JW: LOL https://t.co/PrRRHZ91Nb

— christina (@chrissy96_) February 13, 2016

tldr: I think Jinwoo is cool; Stan him now.

Nam Taehyun is up next, and you will not believe what I have planned for you Omona. I'm just going to go ahead and nominate myself for post of the year before it's even published.

[trancexperiment.livejournal.com]

all this effort and you couldn't use a spoiler tag

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

The goal here is to get people to read the post; You looked at it for long enough to point this out, so my work here is pretty much done.

I can't code/ I can't find the error. Feel free to add a comment with the error, and I'll fix it ASAP!

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

You're the real MVP for making these posts, OP.

And I LOVE hands, but I thought those were Seung-yoon's?? Maybe I was wrong. :D

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

SeungYoon's IG post said something about the hands being someone else's/ preparing something for the concert. Jinwoo put up a picture of him self in the same outfit + Drums, so I figured they were his?

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that might be. :'D Seung-yoon's hands just look a bit similar, so I assumed they were his right away. EITHER WAY, I'm here for this kind of close-up.^^

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

I feel like i need to know more about this zoo

[chocopie116.livejournal.com]

Same. Someone fill me in.

Also, do they all live together?

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i think, from their appearance on a radio show, i gather they've moved out to a new dorm and it's 2 different unit. They didnt explicitly said it's 2 units, but hoon said he lives with KJW and mino, and taehyun with Yoon. IDK what that exactly means, but the fact that they moved out to a new place, i think it's possible they have 2 apartments. and it's more possible for them to have that many pets i think.

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

Here's what we know:
They all live in the same dorm
Jinwoo has cats (Bey and Rei are in the original post)
Seunghoon has two dogs- Haute lives with them, but Lee Hee (First episode of WinnerTV) is with his mom in Busan.
Mino has a cat-Johnny(the only female pet)

Taehyun has two cats- Polly and Barley.

Seungyoon just petsits.

It's definitely a lot of pets for one dorm.I don't even know how that would work. I was hoping WinnerTV2 would show us their pets, but who knows if that's still happening.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

What happened in the 2nd pic? Why the animal has a cat's face but a dog's body lol?

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

mino's cat got a skin infection, so he had to shave her.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Ahh thanks!

[lovesongwriter.livejournal.com]

I love that little international lost treasure.

Though some photos remind me about fansites that had been whitewashing Jinwoo and making him look like he was entirely made of just eyes and nostrils because all his features disappeared into the blinding white ether.

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sorry about that. I did try to find less white-washed photos of him, but the sites that take great photos of Jinwoo don't really upload previews.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh y esssssssss

bless you for doing this op <3 this is so good omg and yES TO THE HANDS (I"M SO WEAK FOR NICE HANDS!)

i wish i could leave a more appreciative comment but i gotta go thru this post again rn

[obscureauthor.livejournal.com]

I love love love him
He went from being cute and adorable to god like in their comeback.
However i feel like hes quietened down, like he thinks being silent is better but i miss his dorky side.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Nam Taehyun is up next
In b4 lots of comments about his Cumberbatch looks, oop.

Jinwoo is so pretty and seem so nice. I still prefer KSY and Mino tho since Jinwoo's personality is a bit bland.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Speaking of this, when did it become okay to slam his or anyone else's looks? The comments I've seen are the pettiest kind of mean. The malice behind it is transparent af, too.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Of course is transparent but what can you expect from this site (and kpop fandom in general)? As long is not their faves they don't have any problem with people bashing someone's looks or joining to the bashing but the second someone says anything remotely negative about their faves they get super mad and salty and start dragging other idols again. Not to mention that you have people hating certain idols simply for their looks.

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

I saw two comments on the last winkon post, but I didn't know it was a trend on Omona. I may have to reconsider my idea for Taehyun's update post if people seriously bash his looks here.

[lydiasummer.livejournal.com]

sometimes being bland isn't that bad, less likely to be problematic

[mrsrager.livejournal.com]

this is already the best post of 2016, good job op!

i didn't know they were doing a reply parody, i can't wait

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

its kinda weird seeing ppl calling his personality boring lately..hes the silliest and the dumbest imo..hes funny even when hes not trying to be..even the members think so
i wonder if he's rly quiet lately bc they r trying to keep a cooler image for him as a visual ..or is he just isn't as confident anymore to talk after the long hiatus
he used to be really energetic but he seems pretty tired now compared to the other members..he wasnt like this during their japanese shows appearances so the change took me by a surprise

hes my fave bc i love how much of a sweetheart he is and how endearing he can be

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

he is the reason I stan Winner, from Win nd their reality show just, he is a precious human and when he fucks up it is going to break my heart.

[pero, like (from livejournal.com)]

"why are you giving this to me?"
"oppa, you have cats at home"
"oh, that's right!"
he's so ditzy it's so cute

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

You are godsent, op!! And oh wow I have always admired Jinwoo's hands and his nimble-looking fingers since WINNERTV! So happy I am not alone in this hehehe.
He is my first bias in Winner. I always fall for the pretty ones with unassuming personalities. The underdogs with humble beginnings. <3 Now I have no definite fave in Winner. It's just not possible.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

He's been my favourite ever since they debuted (never bothered to watch WIN, so I didn't know him before).
Thank you, OP!
This whole post is a blessing! <3

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I approve this post!

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

All I need is one reason to stan Kim Jinwoo and that is Kim Jinwoo. Nothing else. However, I appreciate this post, OP, such hard work.

I'm anticipating their Reply 1988 parody since The Heirs one was perfect. Already, Hoon is convincing as Dongryong.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Their Heirs parody was perfect. Mino's mastering the art of Woobin's eyebrows was the highlight of the parody for me.

And gotta agree with you about Hoon as Dongryong -- I couldn't imagine anyone else as him lol. And Jinwoo as Taek is only appropriate considering his look and personality. :D

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Agreed, Mino's eyebrow acting was nothing short of perfection, lol.

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

op did you do a mino one?

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

I divided Mino's updates into two parts. The first half (http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/17585205.html) contains photos from the fan signs, and the second post will be my final EXIT:E update post.

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

thank u!

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

LOL his legs before and after toilet break killed me. Why people do this to him? Poor guy.

Dont worry OP, I'm also drawn to hands. Mostly all of my faves have beautiful hands. But honestly, no one beat Ohno Satoshi's long, thin and slender fingers. :D

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

awesome post, op! loved the mino one too. jinwoo is the best. he's grown so much from that scared, insecure kid from his trainee/win days. i admire how hard he works to improve and it definitely shows. i just need korea to see how truly handsome he is and for him to become the new cf king!!

[milafanway.livejournal.com]

he needs to slay those cf my kid will rise! *insert elmo fire gif* I mean he's flawless and too precious for this world and I want him and winner in a variety show or something...*whispers winner tv* T___T

[soyymilk.livejournal.com]

wow flaw free post op. jinwoo is a precious bunny and needs to always be loved n appreciated.

"Don't judge me. I can't be the only one who likes hands on Omona." and no you are definitely not alone!

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

i'm mostly interested in the zoo part lol
