Do you have fun plans? I know birthdays can both be exciting and kind of anxiety producing. My 26th was super hard for some reason.

Thank you! Me too! I've had fun being back on, so I don't plan on spacing out again! We should definitely chat more.

Nah, not for me really - it’s just gonna be a chill and normal day like usual and nothing else other than that lol! Yeah, I came to realise that birthday blues are a thing for some or a lot people that are in their adulthood especially so that’s pretty much what I’m getting as well I think

That’s great to know that you’re happy to be back here! I’m guessing you’re planning on being active on here quite on a regular basis right?

Other than that, I’m so excited for the cards from the new batch i can’t wait to collect 4 bgs from that batch!!

A chill birthday can still be quite nice! I hope you can do something a little special for yourself all the same. <3 You deserve it!

Yes, definitely plan to be active! Coming back on in time for new cards is always a fun time. I've already rolled to get a batch 10 card lol. What groups are you most excited about? I feel like we got a decent mix!

Thank you, I‘ll try haha <3

and I’m most excited about collecting RIIZE but I also plan on collecting ZB1, &TEAM & xikers! What about you?

Oh, good taste! I really like RIIZE's new song, Love 119. I know some people said they sounded a lot like NCT at debut, but I think they have their own style.

I'm going for Fifty Fifty and MiSaMo first! I really got into Fifty Fifty last year, so although all the lawsuits kind of suck right now, it'll still be nice to at least get the four originals. And I'm a sucker for MiSaMo's "Don't Touch Me" song. I hope JYPE can be good with getting nice subunit combos/songs for other groups! It's funny how much whether an idol looks talented comes down to whether they get a song/concept that suits them or not.

With RIIZE I really like Siren & Memories! Talk Saxy isn’t bad but could be better. Get a Guitar is a nice song but not something I would consider listening to a lot. Also I don’t really consider myself a stan of the group yet but I really like Wonbin, he has a really nice voice and seems like a chill dude! On top of that, he’s very handsome 🥰 also he’s my age so ig I can kinda relate to him and I do notice that him and I have some things in common which makes that even great! 😊

I loved fifty fifty’s debut title track, along with tell me & Lovin’ me!

Siren and Memories are both really nice too! I hope we get a full Siren song at some point. It's annoying that it's not on Spotify to listen to. Wonbin is very charming, I can see why he'd captured your attention.

Higher is really nice! I think the dreamy sound is something we don't see too much these days.

Omg yesss there better be a full song of Siren, which I hope there will be sometime in the future! Do you have a bias in RIIZE?

and yeah with higher, a song like that is really rare in kpop so it’s great to see that it has came into the kpop scene.

I don't right now. I think it'll be interesting to watch as they get more songs and concepts and see how it changes things! I take forever to make up my mind on that stuff, lol. But I like that it doesn't feel like anyone is left behind, you know? Like sometimes, particularly groups whose companies make them change concepts every time, it's like it only works for some members and other members look awkward or uncomfortable.

That’s understandable - I also can’t wait for them to release more songs in the future too despite them having their debut last year and releasing I think 2 single albums already?

That sounds about right. Hopefully Love 119 does well and encourages SME to go bigger for their next release.

Speaking of Love 119, does it give you 1st gen vibes? To me it does especially the rap parts in the chorus - I’ve only heard it once so i dont remember if all of the choruses had that same rap part on it like it did at the beginning of the song 😅

Yes, I thought so too! It has a timeless feel to it.

One day, I shall surpass about 500 cards before the end of this year - summoning it 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

Here's hoping for you!!

I'm just hoping I can finish some of the big sets. Though, thank goodness I'm not trying to collect NCT. Poor NCTzens.

Lmao xD don’t worry I’m not collecting big groups like nct (except for nct dream) and seventeen either but that’s fine since I’m not interested in either of those groups lol! I hope you’ll be able finish your big sets too!!

I'm hoping so! The team added to EXID's cards -- which I don't totally mind, since there's no BESTie set -- but it does add quite a few more cards to collect. I'm trying to be ruthless about which ones are truly my faves and which ones do I just like, but I can part with for my faves.

You stan BESTie? :0 they’re an unknown third gen group right? 🤔

Rudeness, they are known in my heart. 😭 Love Options, Thank U Very Much, and Excuse Me are still such bops.
