Ateez Zero: Fever Part 2 Unboxing

I discovered Ateez last year as I was researching the top performers and the latest trends in the K-pop entertainment industry. Of all the idol groups I studied I thought Ateez the most promising and talented. Their music always stayed with me, too.

For more research purposes (and to pay back the group for the inspiration they gave me) I preordered all three versions of their latest album, Ateez Zero: Fever Part 2. These came from South Korea, so the shipping cost as much as the albums, but I thought it would be interesting to see what international fans receive when they do this.

This is everything that came from Ktown4u: The three sealed albums, three wall posters and three collectible idol cards in plastic sleeves (the posters and sleeved cards were a preorder promotional bonus.) Everything arrived nicely packaged and in pristine condition.

Each album comes in a very nice sturdy box. I am quite impressed with the quality of the contents, too.

This is what comes in the box: the album CD, a photo book, photo lyric cards, a sheet of stickers and two more individual idol cards. Promoting the images of the performers is basically as important as the music itself, as fans play an integral role in helping the group attain popularity through social media. I'll be listening to the album over the next few days and then I'll write up a review on that.

I'm happy I had the chance to do this. The experience provides much more realistic details for me to use while writing about my own fictitious K-pop idol group, plus it was fun.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.
