23 Reasons Why Taehyun is Drugs (EXIT:E Updates pt.2)

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

Baby Baby.

This song is a masterpiece, and I was genuinely surprised when I found out he composed it alone (Uk Jin Kang only helped with the final arrangement.

I Really Enjoy His Other Compositions Too.

---

Sentimental

But

Tonight

(The fuckboy lyrics in these two songs tho)

I'm Young

Confession

Contrary to Shady Statements Made by i-netz 👀 , He Constantly Served Looks During His Blond Era.

---

We/he went through some rough patches with the blond hair, so the black hair was a very welcome change.

---

His vocal control and range improved so much during the hiatus; I still get surprised every time he starts singing.

---

They're often pretty, but they can get pretty weird too.

---

Polly and Barley are the cutest!

---

He's been the target of hateful comments since before he debuted, and we got some insight into how he deals with the hate during E promotions.

---

Discussing the hate he got for his acting last year

This made it pretty clear that he reads all the shitty things people write about him.

Talking about using those comments to improve himself.

How did you spend the last year?
During the long hiatus, I studied to improve parts from when we were active that I had regrets over. I invested a lot of time learning guitar, exercised hard. I contemplated a lot and found a lot of music to listen to; it was a training time to try to better myself.
WKorea Feb 2016 issue. Translated by YGUnited.

He talked about it with Yoo Byung Jae in this clip

Trans: As usual, the aspiring actor readied to make his speech, and it was during this preparation that fellow 'Actor School' mate Yoo Byung Jae cautiously asked Nam Tae Hyun about WINNER's new songs failing to top the charts.

With a frown on his face, Nam Tae Hyun responded, "I was worried about many things. I wrote the title [song] myself and released new music after a long time but they didn't do all too well...truthfully, I can't concentrate even now. I want to go back to the recording studio."

The idol explained further in his interview with the production crew, "I had a lot of thoughts regarding the area of music. When I was coming to 'Actor School,' I should halt those thoughts and immerse myself [in the show] completely, but I really had to drag myself here. Only my body is here. My mind is still there [at the studio]."

I like how he's constantly pushing himself to be better, but I really don't think he should be reading these comments.

So Many Tattoos.

And this happened today. 😒

He gave us so many memes during this era. Blessed.

Never forget this classic reaction gif

Taehyun + Hayul = ❤️💖

Nam Taehyun- singer, songwriter, creator, furniture mover, carpenter, designer etc

---

I like how willing he is to learn/try new things. He also learned to play the guitar at a semi-proficient level during the hiatus.

Nam Tae Shade.

Moment of silence for the time Taehyun managed to start 'YGFAMwar3000' with one simple clapback on sugarman.

Living up to the NamDiva Nickname.

Taehyun is dope

This was supposed to be posted on his birthday, but it wasn't finished then. I'm also too lazy to finish the list of 23 things that h0ly_ravioli helped me come up with. Things that got cut- All his hyungs love him- both at actor school and in Winner-, He's showed off how smooth he is with the girls (so much better than he used to be *insert gif of Joy curving him at Gayo Daejun here*), Great dancer, great legs, other hipster things.
Feel free to contribute whatever you have for these in the comment section.

Despite the ridiculous amount of procrastinating I did, it seems that I'll be done with the EXIT:E updates before we get a date for X. Mino's final update will be up in a few weeks.

HAHAHAHA I found this group on Tuesday this week and have been obsessed with 'Sentimental' and this post just pushed me over the edge to adoring Taehyun. I was slightly in too deep but the section of him and his cats pushed me into the deep side

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

Nice! I have similar posts for everyone in the group if you would like to learn more about them:
Jinwoo (http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/17616952.html), Seunghoon (http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/17753273.html), Seungyoon (http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/17909281.html), Mino's comprehensive post isn't up yet, but here's the first part (http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/17585205.html).

Flawless post, OP!

I love this talented, hipster, walking meme.

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

amazing post op, thank you!
lol his plethora of little tattoos remind me of harry styles, although taehyun's are definitely not that bad yet!! (i actually like most of them)
despite my initial fear when the rumors that he went blonde came out, he really rocked it (although i did miss his eyebrows)
i already stanned him, but this was a nice reminder why

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

I just looked up Harry Styles' tattoos and good god- it's like Mino and Taehyun had a tattoo designing competition all over his body (although they'd probably both think his tattoos are too basic).

[bulliekim.livejournal.com]

This post is really pretty & well done! I expect nothing less for the birthday of Taehyun, the living Tumblr lol

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

op's comment smh. can't believe it. i never had hope for yg actually finishing out a four part album, but I thought we'd be to X by now ...

anyways, I'm glad his hair is dark again. for some reason when he's been coming up on my insta feed I've been thinking he's bambam for a split second tho lmao. idk.

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

I'll honestly be surprised if we get past X before the end of the year. (Now would also be a good time to admit that I still can't really tell who BamBam is from got7 photos. With the videos it's usually the person who is dabbing, being generally extra or relating every thing to his dick)

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

He has a pretty face that can destroy lives.. t_t

I will not cross to the dark side. T___T I need to leave this post before I do..

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

THIS IS AMAZEEEEENGGGG, op!!!
I love his cute and talented ass. I love his group compositions but not his solos. I love how we've first come to know him as a sassy diva but has also shown humility (acting fiasco, as composer etc) and compassion (with Hayul) since. It's interesting to see him evolve, hopefully it's all for the best.

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

I love your icon. Confession is my least favorite Winner track, but I really love I'm young. He projects his emotions so much better in that track. I'd like to see a Taehyun solo that isn't a ballad though.

[itsglenncoco.livejournal.com]

I wanted to see his smoothness with girls!

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

This is one of the videos I was going to put in that section.

He also seems to get along really well with the models from their teasers/MVs and there's a cute bts video of him and Hyeri from the running man filming that I'll add to this comment when I find it.

Hope that's enough (kind of) smooth Taehyun!

[itsglenncoco.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you!! Sorry for making you do extra work you thought you got out off hahaha

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

He's really photogenic omw.

In some of the black-haired photos he looks like GD and it's weirding me out o_o

Those tattoos... I'm.... not gonna say anything about that lmao.

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

I've always thought Taehyun looks a lot like GD, and I've wondered why more people haven't mentioned it.^^

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

I think people are mostly distracted by how similar Mino looks to GD sometimes. I don't really see the physical similarity, but he does give me a GD vibe especially when he performs.

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was about to mention that. The thing is that I don't see the similarity between Mino and GD at all though. Oh well.^^

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

This post looks like so much work! ;_; Well done, OP!

I can't believe I used to harbour some vaguely negative feelings for Taehyun before they debuted, compared to how much I admire him now. His compositions (Baby Baby!!!!!!!!!!!, I'm Young!!!) are so amazing, and he's improved so much vocally as well.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

The Hayul section. Kill me now.

He used to flip flop before as my least fave member but I love him so much now.

I'm also so so glad he went back to dark hair <3

And bless you OP, this post is incredible. Looking forward to Mino's ^_^

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

He reminds me so much of Matt Healy from The 1975. I think it's the eyebrows. He keeps slaying me with his tumblr visuals.

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

Omg a post for my fave and I missed it. Amazing post OP bless you!
