It’s very interesting that between the two of them, Ksoo was the one chosen to entirely change his personality and portray this very hetero serious manly that cant ever do anything cute archetype and ji is encouraged to express himself through his clothes and performances
You would think that they would try to get ji to be the manly serious one seeing how he is also in charge of being the ‘sexy’ one the ‘bad boy’ But their career paths made it obvious who was gonna be who
Acting doesn’t allow ksoo to be anything other than brooding and stoic He wouldn’t be taken seriously I mean who in s.korea would take ksoo’s twink ass from 2012-2013 seriously ?? Korean actors have to be very masculine Notice how ksoo dramatic change in personality began in 2014 the same year he had his first acting role
On the other hand ji is supposed to be drooled over by girls,to be fantasized about The fact that he is seen as the sexual one already secures him the hetero tag and doesn’t have to do anything special to gain it Dancers are supposed to be sexual and dramatic in their performances Just the fact that he thrust his hips every now and then assures people he’s getting the girls So sm is allowing and even encourages ji to wear these kinds outfits for the same reason they let taemin do it:because they are dancers Everything they do on stage is excused by this because again they are supposed to be dramatic a little bit feminine for the type of dance they do
Just imagine if ji would have been chosen for an acting career do y'all still think sm would have let him do all this stuff? Nah…Also his kind of pushing the boundaries for what is acceptable for a man to wear on stage began to happen recently just this year AFTER ji already had a dating scandal that already proved the hetero point so sm doesn’t have to try with him anymore
Also if ksoo hadn’t taken acting we might still see sparks of his bubbly and cheery feminine side that sm buried and made everyone think he’s an unemotional,rough and apathetic person
“if you actually met 100% of the requirements they couldn’t afford you”
I really needed to hear this. I had never thought of it this way. This literally never occurred to me, I’ve just spent my whole adult life thinking I was underqualified for everything. Thinking I’m not good enough for anything because the “minimum requirements” are so high.
I need specifics. I wanna know what I can get away with. I wanna know what they really mean by “minimum.” I wanna know how much I’m actually worth.
As someone who worked in hr, this is true.
True to the point that if someone was extremely unqualified, but because of timing we were desperate, we’d bend rules to get them hired. And the only people taking advantage of this were guys.
if you actually met 100% of the requirements they couldn’t afford you
this made so much click in my head. because this was literally it–spend half the time being unqualified for everything and just not applying. and the rest of the time being qualified and not getting hired. because ahahaha fuck you, you’re too expensive now/we’re too worried you’ll jump ship and leave us because of how qualified you are! guess we’ll just hire this shitty dude to do it !? ?
I debated posting this here but WWAMWMD? He’d post it. #girlgogetyours
It’s way more than “if you actually met 100% of the requirements they couldn’t afford you”
The reason they couldn’t afford you is that if you meet 100% of the requirements, you’re ready for the next position up.
Career strategy 101: The most valuable employees are always learning. Every company wants employees who won’t stagnate, i.e. sit in one role doing the same thing ever year and continue getting annual raises. A company wants to hire you for one thing at one salary, and then move you up through higher positions over the years, i.e. they keep getting new benefits for the additional money they’re spending on you.
A good company will offer you development opportunities, either within your role or in addition to it. So when the company interviews you, they want to see that you can learn what they need, and you want to see that they can teach you new skills. Companies know that the best applicants are interviewing them in return and that if they don’t offer development, they will lose those applicants to better jobs.
Companies structure positions this way intentionally and they assume you know it.
So not only should you apply to jobs you aren’t 100% qualified for, you can use 100% qualification as an indicator that you’re overqualified and should look for the next job up.
This started funny but became really important to know.

adults, while forcing all children above the age of 5 to sit still, be silent, and obey orders for 7-8 hours a day with minimal breaks, reducing their exposure to fresh air and sunlight to almost nothing, forcing them to alter their natural sleeping patterns to increase productivity, and repeatedly telling them their self worth depends on their being able to follow these instructions perfectly for 13 or more years: kids these days are so lazy! they never go outside! they never want to do anything! clearly it’s not because of us!
The way we treat children is extremely inhumane, but so many adults want to dismiss it because it’s so normalized
You… You do realize that’s what it’s like to be a working adult…? And our days are even longer.
thats because an 8 hour work day is extortion and should be illegal. next question.
Either you’ve never had a job or you’re just lazy af. There’s nothing wrong with 9 to 5 jobs. Nobody is forcing people to work them and people need the hours to make more money. People get breaks too.
Please take a biology class & get some help. People shouldnt have to do work 80% of the day to survive.
2. capitalism is forcing people to work. i could just quit my job and hang out at home - but then i would lose my house and most likely starve to death, because of the way our economy works.
3. breaks for most establishments are a mere 30 minutes for an 8-hour shift; at my first job, for a 6-hour shift, your break would only be 15 minutes and any longer shift would only get 30. studies say people are more productive if for every hour you work, you get a 15-minute break - meaning, for an 8-hour shift, you’d need an hour-long break, and so on and so forth.
the way modern society views work is unhealthy for loads of reasons, not just what i mentioned here. the fact that we’re preparing children for such a torturous lifestyle is horrific.
Also like…. small children are not adults. Small children should not be held to the same standards as adults. Even if the 8 hour work day WAS healthy, it would be inhumane to hold a small child to the same standard.
The school system was literally designed to train people for factory work back when child labour was legal so that should tell you how fucked that is
There’s probably a German compound word for that feeling you get at 2am when you’re single in your mid twenties and the creeping doubt that you’ve somehow missed your only chance at love because you didn’t meet someone in college and now it’s too late
The german word you are looking for is ‘Torschusspanik’
this is why degrees in Non-Militarily applicable STEM fields (like horticulture and zoology) are just as undervalued as ceramics, literature, and medeival history degrees tbh
When people say “this is actually a good thing I am so smart” I want them to realize that the govt isn’t killing buzzfeed “reporters”, they’re killing reporters who are talking about government corruption and investigating powerful elites you fucking dummies
