1) Why is Woohyun greasy? In a good or bad way?
2) I THINKKKK I LIKE HOYA OR BB MAKNAE'S FACE THE BEST. BUT I CAN'T BE SURE. THEY ARE ALL INCREDIBLY PRETTY.
3) aka derpiest dork on the planet (but also visual hahahaha)
Yoona then?
4) SUNGYEOL LOOKS PRETTY FABULOUS OKAY I'M NOT GONNA LIE ABOUT IT AND ANYONE WITH THE NICKNAME CHODING TEND TO ME FAV PEOPLE.
5) I dno man they all look rly rly pretty, it's a bit overwhelming for my eyeballs.
6) They have nicer clothes than I do.
7) Ok the GIF with L is kind of doing things to me the more I look at it. Maybe I like his face.
THIS IS A GOOD START. I WILL TRY AND REMEMBER THEIR FACES AND IF ANYTHING, NOW I CAN GO HERE AND BE LIKE, O IT'S THAT ONE!
Moving on....

2)THEY ARE ALL INCREDIBLY PRETTY OMFG. Like really, this group is so so pretty I can't even. Just. All of them are freaking gorgeous and even when they are unconventionally so (i.e. leader) they will seduce you with their swag (no really, he will make you attracted to him and there is no way you can say 'nope sorry', he just commands you to be /life-ruiner). But yes, Sungjong's face is kind of a miracle. And Hobaby has the most precious smile in the world I will show you it's heart-melting.
Also I honestly don't understand how peole pick biases in this group??? Like, Yeollie is just. I'm basically IN LOVE WITH THE DUDE, so at some point I have to admit that I'm biased. BUT FUCK THESE BOYS MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM ALL. You can fight it in the beginning, but they are evil and every single one of them is the best and impossible to resist.
3) Myungsoo is an alien in a human body. Like, he has such handsome features but omfg he does not know how to use them??? At all?? Even when he's supposed to look hot more often then not he ends up looking so derpy you'll want to squish his head off it's the worst. No really, poor kid is so so introverted and keep spazzing off and he is just such a baby I just want to protect him all the time (but also laugh at him always because his cluelessness is so hilarious).
4) SUNGYEOL IS PRINCE. The nickname says it all to be honest. HE IS JUST ROYALTY.
5) LOL I FEEL YOU
6)HAHAHA I FEEL YOU MORE. ALSO WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO TALK ABOUT MALE K-FASHION FOR IT MIGHT BE MY ACTUAL FAVORITE THING ABOUT K-POP.
7) LOL @ YOUR LIFE U R SO DOOMED! His face is very likeable in its handsome stupidity.

b) LIKE I SAID THIS IS SO HARD BECAUSE I LOVE THEM ALL SO HARD IT SCARES ME. But my fave in between the faves is def Yeollie and then I'd have to go with Namu because unf I am so in love with that idiot and then Jjongie wins a life basically and also is such a sexy beast (and diva) I want to cry tears of blood. Dongwoo is a being of light there is no way you can not love him (or you are a robot sorry). I just fell into deep love with Hoya last month and now I am forever worshipping at his altar that guy is epic. And my Myungsoo feelings are pretty intense feelings, he isn't my favorite but OMG I LOVE HIM SO MUCH and also he is so gpoy sometimes it hurts?? Yeah and leader. He is the most terrible because you think you can ignore him but he won't let you. He is like charisma guy and just rules the stage and ugh his voice is kind of epic (also I'm the most in love with Namu's belting) and also he is effing hilarious? He has the kind of lame humor that-could-be-serious-but-is-really-self-depreciating that I actually get (I'm sometimes shit at understanding humor) and I die of feels at his existence. So you know at the moment (and this changes so yanno) Gyu and Myungsoo tie for least favorite EXCEPT THAT I STILL LOVE THEM SO HARD IT OVERWHELMS ME. /fml
c) They are from Woolim. AND OMG DO YOU LISTEN TO NELL??? BECAUSE YOU NEED TO THEY ARE THEY HAVE THE BEST MUSIC AND FAVORITE FAVORITE KOREAN BAND WITHOUT A DOOOUBT!!! Gyu is such a Nell-fanboy that this is why he chose to audition for Woolim and not some bigger company. (That boy srsly <33 *pets*)
d) YES YES. The two that are most known for their k-dramas are Myungsoo(/L) and Hoya. Myungsoo played in Shut Up! Flower Boy Band and Hoya in Reply 1997. Both of with I want to start watching since forever and will start whenever I get my internet life back under complete control (so many things to answer to still omfg /fandom is hard)!!!
<3333

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LIFE DECISIONS TBH YOU WIN AT LIFE
Also it's forever hilarious to be that both Dongwoo and Sungyeol make prettier, cuter and girlier girls than maknae!Sungjong and greasball!Woohyun, who both embrace such a fascinatingly androgyn gender-role performance in everyday Infinite.
BASICALLY DRAG!WOO FOREVER <3333 Never over how he is so confident in his body to be so shamelessly into the drag that it looks so effing good I can't even??? FLAWLESS BOY.

wow hi can we talk about infinite and drag roles? i don't know enough about them to even really tell them apart yet but i wish to know more pls
see and that is honestly my favorite thing about dongwoo/dragwoo compared to other kpops that crossdress (LOOKING AT YOU LEE TAEMIN you poor this ;n;) is that he's not trying to be anything, he's not trying to look especially girly or feminine or "crossdressy"
he is just himself in women's clothes
and that makes him prettier than a lot of "real" women (which is a subjective term, but you know what i mean; people who identify as women and wear women's clothes)
because confidence is sexxxxy ♥

LOOK AT THIS VIDEO AND THEN LET'S TALK PLEASE.
I have so many many feelings about this performance Julia let's cry about it together okay. Like, for starters the fact that Sungjong decided that he wanted to do this song and that he wanted to do the boy part (because he is known for his girl group dances) and then he went to Sungyeol and asked him to be his Hyuna because he had to know Yeol would be the only one crazy enough to agree to commit to that on stage and actually embrace the thing. And I think Sungyeol thought it would be a lot more joke-ey except in the end it really wasn't, because perfect babies they are so serious about this and then he does the dress-ripping (which is so him I'm still cry at how raw this performance is it's my favorite thing in the world). And both of them are so focussed and taking this seriously and not over-playing it at all IT IS PERFECTION TO ME.
come at me bro.
PS--Yeol's thighs okay. His motherfucking legs. I hate life tbh it's so unfair.

ALSO WOW YEOL'S ENTIRE BEING I'M CRYING??? he's perfect absolutely perfect this band is rly perfect?? not as perfect as my band but still basically perfect or w/e wow
I LOVE KPOP CROSSDRESSING GOD IT'S MY ACTUAL FAVORITE THING I LOVE HOW THEY FUCK WITH GENDER ROLES SO MUCH i wish more ladies looked like men and embraced their androgyny like the men do s igh

And you know it's funny because now that I think of if I realize that this video is when I first fell in epic love with his perfect face? This is one of the first Infinite videos I ever watched and I was like PLEASE MARRY ME YOU GORGEOUS CREATURE!!! No but really, how is he so effectively seductive?
I mean WOW. He is such a natural???? Which forever amazes me because he's gender role performance is way less nuanced than some of the other boys (like I said mostly Woohyun and Sungjong--who both wear their androgyny so well I am forever drooling). But because (and I think this is true for Dongwoo as well) he is just so comfortable with what his doing when he's doing it, that he doesn't need to under- or overplay it. He probably sees it as acting and not as self-defining, so because he likes to commit a hundred percent to every character he plays, he takes this very seriously. AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
OH AND WORD TO THE SEXUAL TENSION!!! forever frustrated that this isn't a bigger ship in fandom. UGH FANDOM ARE YOU BLIND??
I LOVE KPOP CROSSDRESSING GOD IT'S MY ACTUAL FAVORITE THING I LOVE HOW THEY FUCK WITH GENDER ROLES SO MUCH i wish more ladies looked like men and embraced their androgyny like the men do s igh
EVERYTHING YOU SAAYYYYYY!!!
MALE K-FASHION IS MY FAVORITE THING ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW. I WISH TO MAKE LOVE TO IT.
YANA ABOUT THE NEED FOR ANDROGYNOUS LADIES (SOB) I am so starved for it omfg it's a problem! WHERE ARE ALL THE SUITS AND HIKER BOOTS AND ALSO HATS?? CRYING CRYING. But yeah this is why 2EN1 are basically flaw-free princesses. Everybody should sit down and take notes. Also forever in love with the fact my precious darlings from miss A (and I love them so so much omfg I will have to post about them too, I promised Lizzie) got to be in full drag at the end of their I don't need a man video. Honestly I am still weeping. So beautiful. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE TIES. EFFING PERF. And they wear it so well, gah. They should get to dress like that more often and I'm forever crying that they don't.
