NCT 127; Who's your favorite?

NCT 127 ‘Favorite - The 3rd Album Repackage’
https://twitter.com/NCTsmtown_127

Setelah comeback perdana 17 September lalu dengan Sticker, NCT 127 balik lagi untuk memuaskan para fansnya, NCTzen, dengan Repackage Album bertajuk Favorite yang dirilis 25 Oktober 2021. To be honest, ketika denger Sticker gue ngerasa B aja, tapi untuk part suara flute (suling), gue seneng dengernya. Cuma yaa gitu, gue ngerasa ini lagu susah masuk ke telinga gue. But, ​​I'm sure SM must have something to show in the end. DAN BENER AJA! Ketika liat teaser Favorite, gue ngerasa ini pasti konsepnya ‘sedih’. Banyak kalimat-kalimat yang ditunjukan di setiap foto teaser member di official instagram NCT 127. Hampir semua member nunjukin ekspresi yang sedih. I feel like, it’ll be a sad song. Then, the teaser for the MV released couple days ago, tapi kok….tapi…. suara flute-nya….gue jadi inget lagu India....dududu gue jadi mau joget (mon maap yaak esem).


Booommmm….. Favorite has just been released! It is so lit and I wanna scream!!!! Visual di music videonya keren, dan gue ngerasa ada vibes jaman NCT U yang Make A Wish (Birthday Song). Gue merasa ketika liat music video-nya keren banget, but at the same time when I read the lyrics it’s quite painful.


I love you and love you

I want to hurt even more desperately in this destiny

Wild eyes all of your existence

Girl you're my favorite


Lagi-lagi gue merasa SM keren banget bisa menemukan talent yang bikin lagu Favorite. Gimana si itu caranya ada siulan-siulan jadi berasa sedih, tapi di saat yg sama ada musik yang bikin jingkrak-jingkrak? hati gue kegocek ini….dan bingung harus sedih apa joget-joget. SM, I LOVE YOU💗 Maapin gue lebay. Hehehe.




Well, gue ga akan panjang lebar jelasin atau mencurahkan opini gue terkait lagu baru maupun music video Favorite-nya NCT 127 (silakan ditonton sendiri di channel youtube mereka), karena tujuan utama gue bikin tulisan ini adalah ngasih tau (kalo ada yang mau tau, kalo gada juga gapapa😁) member favorit gue di grup besutan SM Entertainment yang debut di tahun 2016.


Sejak akhir 2020 gue mulai ngikutin (secara fokus) NCT karena projek NCT 2020 bisa gue bilang menarik perhatian gue yang notabene-nya bukan fans mereka. Btw, gue ngikutin NCT dari jaman SM the Rookies, cuma ga terlalu yang ngikutin banget karena gue sibuk jadi fans 선배님 mereka, EXO. Gue suka banget EXO. Cuma karena akhir-akhir ini member EXO pada wajib militer dan kebetulan yang masih aktif belum rilis drama/film/variety shownya jadi sejenak mencari angin segar dengan cara liat oppa-oppa ganteng. Tapi ternyata NCT bukan pilihan yang pas untuk dimasukan ke kriteria ‘oppa’ karena umur para membernya banyak yang di bawah gue. Gila! Dulu (라때는 말이얔ㅋㅋㅋ) jaman gue mulai gila sama kpop pas SMA, maknae suatu boygrup biasanya kelahiran ’91 atau ’92. Sehun EXO udah yang paling muda bgt, menurut gue.  Sedangkan ini maknae-nya NCT si Jisung kelahiran 2002. Tahun 2002 gue lagi lagi asyik-asyiknya nonton World Cup Korea - Japan, lah itu si Jisung palingan baru umur 3 bulan sejak lahir. Kalo diibaratin lebih detailnya, gue udah SMA itu si Jisung baru masuk SD. Sinting ya kan! tapi gapapa namanya jg ngefans semua batas-batas bisalah ditepis wkwkkwkwk.

Back to the topic, who’s your favorite? for me, the answer is Mark Lee. Sejak Mark baru dikenalin ke masyarakat luas oleh SM Ent. sebagai bagian dari SM The Rookies sekitar tahun 2014, pandangan gue langsung ke Mark. Dulu sampe gue bela-belain ke kampus pas liburan buat pake wifi kampus untuk download acara The Mickey Mouse Club untuk liat anak-anak SM the Rookies (perjuangan banget dah ini). Dulu juga sempet download aplikasi SM The Rookies untuk tau update-an jadwal mereka. FYI, tipe-tipe idola gue biasanya rapper, jago ngedance dan bisa bahasa Inggris (Sehun EXO adalah pengecualian😁). Gue suka aja sama idol yang bisa bahasa asing terutama bahasa Inggris, karena gue ngerasanya ga akan sulit untuk nge-reach mereka, ngirim pesan, dll. tanpa si fans harus belajar bahasa Korea. Karena dulu (라때는 말이얔) susah untuk berinteraksi sama idola favorit kita. Mau nonton konten di Youtube, banyak yang ga ada terjemahannya. Jadi yaaa….liat gambarnya aja, dan agak struggle. That’s one of the reasons why I started to learn Korean. Biar ngerti ketika nonton konten mereka di Youtube, walaupun ga ada terjemahannya! Dulu juga ga secanggih sekarang dan banyak translator fanbase yang bersedia menerjemahkan konten para idol mereka, jadi fans bisa duduk anteng nonton konten para idola mereka dengan nyaman sekarang. But, this is my personal opinion, don’t get me wrong, dan tiap orang beda-beda tipe dan penilaian. Karena akhirnya gue pun tetep belajar bahasa Korea biar suatu saat kalo ketemu mereka di Fan meeting/Fan Signing/Konser/atau ketemu di jalan entah di Korea, Indonesia, atau di belahan dunia manapun seenggaknya gue bisa say "hello" dah at least ke mereka. Ya namanya juga harapan, gapapa dah :) #peace

Gue suka sama Mark karena kelihatannya, well emang kelihatannya, gue ga pernah ketemu langsung sama doi, jadi gue ga mau percaya 100% sama apa yang ditunjukin ketika on camera. Gue cuma liat di tv atau Youtube aja dan itu semua image yang dibangun dan ditunjukan ke dunia kalo doi tipe pekerja keras and I hope he does show most of his true self in front of the camera. Mungkin karena jiwa mudanya yang masih mau coba banyak hal dan gali potensi yang ada di dirinya. Kemampuan dance dan rap Mark cukup banget buat dijadiin modal jadi idol. Mark debut di semua unit NCT; NCT U, NCT 127, dan NCT Dream di tahun yang sama, 2016. Pada ttahun 2019, Mark bergabung jadi salah satu member supergrup, SuperM, yang dibentuk oleh SM Entertainment dan Capitol Music Group. Gila ga sih ini orang? keren banget! Gue bahkan tambah yakin nih ‘orang keren’ ketika dia ikut survival program High School Rapper season 1. Ketika ikut program itu, Mark sampe dikritik sama Swings 행님 kalo rap dia agak hmmm…. (gue gamau nulis di sini, kalian liat sendiri aja videonya, ada di Youtube). Trus dia banyak belajar dan berhasil bertahan di level 6 besar. Menurut gue itu hal yang keren dan patut diacungi jempol serta bikin gue respect sama nih anak yang lebih muda dari gue. Gue jadi termotivasi untuk ga males-malesan kalo ngelakuin sesuatu dan berusaha gali potensi yang gue punya selama masih muda.


Selain itu gue respect banget sama nih anak karena di video konten NCT LIVE (tayangnya sekitaran 2015-an ketika mereka masih rookies, but cmiiw) yang gue tonton dia sering nyebut hal-hal religius. Actually, I’m not that religious person, but I love someone who always thanks God for everything that has happened. Kek gue kira gue doang yang notice, ternyata Eric Nam juga, dan mungkin juga fans di luar sana. Ketika gue dengar podcast Daebak Show w/ Eric Nam Ep. #119| Catching Up: NCT DREAM’s MARK, CHENLE, RENJUN and JISUNG, Eric bahkan bilang, "...What stuck out to me—and I always wanted to tell this to you when I met you or whenever we connected—was how you went out of your way to talk about your faith and to thank God.” and then he continued “I was so moved by that because that is a big testament to values and whatever you believe in, whatever religion it is.” Gue ngerasa wow…. Speechless! Keren banget!


Those are the reasons why I love Mark, and he’s my favorite in the team. Gue bisa membeberkan 100 alasan atau lebih kenapa gue ngefans sama Mark, but I won't. It'll be too boring, right?😉 Gue kadang suka baca lirik lagu yang dibuat Mark dan gue tersentuh tiap baca kalimat-kalimat yang dia buat. Gue pernah liat Mark memberikan pesan ke fansnya "No matter what you do, live in whatever society, pls just want you to be you proud of yourself" 내가 그런 말이 들을 때 감동 많이 먹었어...눈물난다 진짜루 ㅠ___ㅠ 진짜 마크 많이 아낀다 내가! by doing that, he gives me strength. Because he sent out meaningful messages to his fans. There are times when those messages comfort me. As they did to me, Mark and the other my favorite Idols can give off good energies to others, I should be like them as well. I think they give me a lot of motivation. Thus, I should work hard in order to succeed like them. 마크야...사랑하고 고마워💚 늘 건강해 짜식아☺


Xoxo

2019, You Taught Me Many Things! 💓Thank You💓 This year, 2019, has finally come to an end. This past year has truly been a year of growth and learning for me. I feel it is just like yesterday when I picked up my laptop to type Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019 back then in January. As 2019 comes to a close, I took a moment during these past few weeks to reflect on what has just happened and with that always comes a little reflection. Like many people, I have been thinking about all the things I did and learned this year and I am thankful for both, good and bad experiences. As  a type-A, plan-my-life-out, (actually there is almost nothing spontaneous about me and it is always something I have to consciously remind myself to do),  most often I am the person setting goals and working hard to achieve them. I worked hard for the things I love. I still haven't lost my dream of becoming an author or illustrator. I love writing and drawing. I am trying to make and create exciting char...

Feeling grateful and blessed

I got a random question from Instagram: How to become a great person? maybe this is an easy question, but after thinking about it, it turns out to be a bit difficult to answer. After thinking about it for a long time, my answer might be something like this, “I’m working on that myself! There’s no definition of being a great person. Everyone has different morals and povs. What I do is I just be the person I feel like being at this moment and if I make a mistake, then I learn from it and try not to repeat it, and eventually I'll be happy with the person that I was in this life." also, in my opinion, another thing that can be done to become a great person is to always be grateful. Oops, is this too deep? Sejak awal pandemi, sekitar Maret 2020, tuh gue gatau disentil apaan jadi sadar banget that I blessed with all the things I have now. Everything is enough. I won’t ask for more. Mau ngeliat temen-temen udah pada jauh di atas gue pun, gue udah di tahap, “ I’m genuinely happy for ...

UI-CREATES; It creates a long-lasting friendship and memories

Universitas Indonesia Credit Earning Program for Students Excursion to Saung Mang Udjo, Bandung Since being a buddy in early 2018, it has been a very important part of my college life. From that time my calendar each month works around the programs I could participate in, which made the best semester of my life. And this year, it happened again. I got a chance to be the buddy for another short course program.
