SmartBoom Weekly Wrap-Up: The Scoop & The Stir 🎢 No. 36

And we’re back again with a week that started with a bit of a surprise… before slowly falling almost completely quiet afterwards.

Photos of Smart suddenly dropped just before the weekend, and at first fans were a bit confused about what they were even for — until the realization hit.

Grand Ivory Records has once again opened a new account, this time called “Grand Ivory Artists,” and introduced several new people under their management. People many fans immediately recognized from the casting calls connected to Last Trace under Grand Ivory Original.

Needless to say… the Auralis and Syra timelines once again got very busy.

With all the controversy surrounding the Shenzhen event, ongoing frustrations with management, and honestly what many fans feel has been a lack of proper… everything for quite some time now, reactions were very strong across the board.

And then fans noticed something else.

Smart’s manager — who also has the title of executive assistant to the CEO — now appears to be managing Smart alongside five other artists as well, which immediately left many fans wondering how on earth one person is supposed to handle all of that while also ensuring proper planning and development for Smart’s career.

At the same time, some fans took the announcement as a possible sign that Last Trace may still somehow be on the table despite everything happening right now. Others simply wished the new artists good luck… while still hoping that Smart himself will eventually leave the company altogether.

But speaking of photos dropping…

The photographer behind Boom’s previous photoshoot also shared more unreleased photos this week — and once again they were absolutely fire 🔥 This is far from the first time Boom has worked with this photographer, but many fans genuinely started wondering if this shoot will ever be topped because every new photo somehow keeps getting better than the ones before.

And then… silence kind of fell over the timelines.

Of course edits are still being made. Delulu crumbs are still being collected. Auralis are still connecting dots that may or may not exist.
But overall, things feel quieter right now.

Betus, Syra, and Auralis are all still posting and supporting in different ways, but there’s also a noticeable feeling that many fans are simply tired. Some are resting. Some are stepping away completely. Others are still here every day voting, posting, editing, and trying their best to keep things moving.

This week SmartBoom also remained nominated in the StarFocus Top 100 Artists poll, and honestly — considering everything going on right now and everything that has happened over the last year — even just getting nominated is incredibly impressive. The fact that they are currently holding 5th place honestly makes it even more impressive. So genuinely, thank you to every Auralis still spending time voting and supporting them 🥰

SmartBoom also trended again this week, proving that even if the timelines feel quieter than before, the fandom is definitely still moving underneath the surface ✨

At the same time though, different frustrations continue to grow across all three fandom spaces.

In the Betus camp, many fans are once again expressing frustration over how long it has been since Boom last acted in a project. While fans are always happy to see events and appearances, many are also becoming increasingly impatient waiting for acting news again.

Over in Syra… well, management discussions continue to take up a huge amount of space. Many fans are emotionally exhausted, frustrated, and disappointed, and even though many are still choosing to support Smart while trying to ignore the surrounding mess, those feelings are very clearly still bubbling underneath it all.

And in the Auralis camp, things continue to feel both hopeful and sad at the same time. Fans are still holding onto hope that one day things will work out, but they are also carrying a lot of the same frustration, concern, and worry as the solo fandoms. Fans are worried about the lawsuit, management issues, and honestly about both Boom and Smart in general, and with fewer appearances and uploads, fans sometimes feel like everything is slowly slipping away.

More than anything, many fans across all sides simply miss seeing more from them again. Seeing them truly happy and doing what they enjoy without all this mess surrounding them.

But hopefully… they are also getting a bit of time for themselves right now. Time to rest, recharge, breathe a little — and who knows what the future may still hold.

Smart did continue uploading a few photos and videos this week while promoting All Night, while Boom stayed mostly quiet — briefly appearing on Mother’s Day with a sweet photo together with his mom before popping up again a few days later seemingly getting some treatment done at an aesthetic clinic as well as getting a fresh haircut.

And today marks the Kazz Awards ceremony and you can watch it live on their Youtube channel: youtube.com/@kazzmagazinechannel

Most of the HDL artists will be attending, while Boom will not be present. Smart, however, alongside the other artists under Grand Ivory Artists, will be attending today — so who knows what kind of content the timelines may end up getting before this week officially comes to an end.

Until next week 🖤💙🩷✨

SmartBoom Weekly Wrap-Up: The Scoop & The Stir 🎢 No. 35

And here we are with a week that somehow quickly flew by and felt much quieter overall… even though there’s still a lot simmering underneath.

Things have been fairly quiet on Boom’s side this week, mainly consisting of a few cute IG uploads before suddenly dropping what felt like half a camera roll onto the timeline the other day 😄 And of course, the second that happened, fans immediately went into detective mode.

One photo in particular showed Boom seemingly playing chess, and with how openly he has spoken lately about wanting and even fighting for TF2, many fans instantly connected it to the Top Form cast photo with the chessboard concept. Coincidence? Maybe. But fans definitely took notice.

And speaking of taking notice… fans were also very quick to spot that Boom repinned his Akin Top Form post on IG, which once again felt like a very loud message to anyone still doubting where he stands regarding TF2. At this point, Boom really does seem determined to keep holding onto that hope — and honestly, a lot of fans are holding onto it right alongside him.

Another one of his photo dumps also sent both Betus and Auralis fully into theory mode because Boom once again decided to communicate through cryptic emoji choices 😭 What most of them mean? Who knows. But that definitely hasn’t stopped the theories from flying around.

On Smart’s side, things have been a lot less quiet.

Smart has been on a serious media run lately promoting 'All Night' — to the point where many fans are already eagerly waiting for news about future music or other projects. Smart himself has already mentioned that another song has been recorded, so naturally fans are now hoping that release won’t be too far away.

This week also gave us a few TikTok uploads, and one in particular brought back a wave of old memories for Auralis fans. During his Shenzhen event , Smart was asked by a fan to recreate the dance he did after TF's episode 6, and while there wasn’t enough time to do it at the event, Smart promised to upload it later — and thereby giving everyone a small piece of nostalgia.

At the same time, the Shenzhen event continues to create discussion across the fandom and has very noticeably divided people into two groups.

On one side are fans openly voicing frustration toward GIR, warning other fans about attending future events handled in similar ways and criticizing everything from planning to treatment of fans.

On the other side are fans who seem to have decided to focus entirely on reposting cute moments, photos, and interactions from the event instead.

Of course, fans would have to be living under a rock not to notice what is going on or see all the fan posts filled with anger, sadness, exhaustion, or frustration about it all. But for some, constantly thinking about management issues, lawsuits, and cancellations is simply draining. So instead, some fans choose to focus on supporting Smart the best way they can — through edits, photos, encouragement, and lighter moments✨

However, that doesn’t completely remove the worry that all of this may end up damaging Smart’s career and reputation even further.

Smart’s May schedule also appeared this week… only to briefly disappear again 🧐 Many hoped it meant more events or projects were about to be added, but unfortunately the schedule was later reposted exactly as before.

And then came more noise — this time surrounding the announcement of another event with Smart in Shanghai in June.

The announcement was made on Weibo, and fans quickly noticed a few too many similarities between the organizers and setup compared to the Shenzhen event, which immediately sparked concern and frustration all over again. At the same time, more fans are beginning to point out what feels like a growing lack of promotion from GIR and the team regarding Smart’s activities.

Whether these developments are connected to the lawsuit, general mismanagement, internal issues, or something else entirely… no one really knows.

But one thing that is becoming very clear is that fans are getting increasingly more frustrated and emotionally drained — not just because of the uncertainty, but because many genuinely feel disheartened watching both Smart and the fandoms being handled this way. Fans are once again hoping Smart notices too — at least enough so that when the time comes, he’ll walk away from it all.

With both Smart and Boom not having anything officially planned before the 14th and 16th of May, who knows what next week will end up looking like… but like always, something is probably bound to happen.

Until next week 🖤💙🩷✨

Smartboom Auralis

Today marks a whole 1 year for this little channel 🎉

It honestly feels a little unreal writing this… I genuinely don’t know where that time went.

Because if we’re being honest — where we are now is so far from where we started. Back then it was just love, good vibes, just showing up and enjoying moments as they came, not really thinking too much about anything.

And now… well, a lot has happened 😳 probably more than any of us expected, and definitely more chaotic than planned. But somehow — many of us are still here. Still watching, still caring, still showing up (and maybe spiraling just a little bit along the way 😅).

And honestly… that says a lot.

Even though we’re in a very different place now than we were a year ago, so many people are still watching and still waiting. And Boom and Smart continue to pull people in — together and individually. Even just in the last 28 days, this channel has gotten over 137K views, which is honestly a little wild to think about.

And it’s not just one place either… people are watching from all over the world, with India, Thailand and the US being the top three.

So when Boom got asked in his live whether he would visit India… I get it. I’m pretty sure that would sell out very quickly.

And then there’s Thailand — which feels a little full circle in a way. Because Smart and Boom have always been so aware of their international fans, speaking English and Chinese to include as many people as possible. But they also have so many fans in Thailand, and I'm pretty sure they are not here for my translations 😅

A lot has changed. And a lot can still change. And honestly… who knows where we’ll be a year from now.

But for now, there’s really only one thing to say:

Thank you ❤️

Truly — thank you. Whether you’ve been here from the very beginning or you just found your way here recently. For watching, for reading, for staying, for leaving and coming back, and for caring as much as you do.

Thank you for supporting not only Smart and Boom, but also each other through what has honestly been a whirlwind of a year.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your worries, your excitement — and for keeping this space kind and respectful, even when opinions aren’t always the same.

And even though things haven’t exactly gone the way we imagined, I still believe that somehow things will fall into place again. Maybe not how we first thought it would a year ago — but in a way that makes sense when we get there.

Until then… I guess we’re just kind of moving through it together — chaos, edits, emotions and all.

Here’s to whatever comes next 🖤💙🩷✨

SmartBoom Weekly Wrap-Up: The Scoop & The Stir 🎢 No. 34

And here we are with another week…🌀

Smart kicked things off by uploading yet another dance to They Don’t Know About Us by BTS — making it the third time he has danced to that one. Very reminiscent of Boom’s Soda Pop era, where the same song just kept coming back again and again. Some songs just stick, I guess 😆

Boom, on the other hand, shared a video right around bedtime, showing an Auralis gift he once received — bringing back the soft aurora light snow globe with an almost dreamy melody 🌌

And speaking of calm moments — Smart’s interview with Daradaily dropped this week, and once again, he delivered. It was one of those interviews that just feels easy to watch — cute, relaxed, and filled with small personal stories that make you feel a little closer.

This week also brought events for both Smart and Boom — with Smart kicking things off in Shenzhen.

And the immediate reaction? The size of him.

Because someone has clearly been spending a lot of time at the gym — and fans noticed instantly. Yes, Smart did say in another interview this week that he wants to build muscle this year… but please — it’s only April 😳

The event itself brought plenty of cute and genuinely happy moments. Smiles, interactions, small details that reminded people why they’re still here. But at the same time, a few more emotional clips started circulating as well — especially when SmartBoom-related content was shown. Moments like that tend to hit a little harder these days, acting as a reminder of just how complicated and unresolved everything still feels.

And once the event wrapped up… some noise followed.

Quite a few fans expressed frustration with the planning — or rather, the lack of it. From the venue to the overall handling, it once again sparked discussions about GIR and how these events are being managed, and how both fans and even Smart are being treated in the process. Not enough to completely overshadow the cute uploads, but definitely enough to be noticed.

Boom also had his event this week — and though fans were worried at first due to a bandage on his cheek, Boom shrugged it off as a fashion decision from makeup, making everyone breathe a sigh of relief. There were so many small interactions and sweet moments coming out of the event, and for many, it felt like a bit of relief — just seeing Boom happy like that again.

Right after the event, Boom went live — something he hadn’t done for quite a while. He thanked fans for coming, talked casually, and shared a bit about his long hair, mentioning that he wants to grow it out and look like Suguru Geto — which immediately sent the artistic fans straight to the drawing board, because he could easily pull that off.

After the event, Boom went on a little vacation on his own and went live once again from a restaurant. Hopefully, he’s getting some real time to rest, reset, and just breathe a little after everything.

What surprised many after the two lives this week was that Boom mentioned Top Form 2 in both of them.

And while everyone knows nothing about that situation is simple — and the future is still uncertain — it’s very clear that Boom hasn’t let go of it. He wants it. And he’s not shy about showing that he’s still holding onto that hope, and he wants everyone to support it.

Back on Smart’s side… things have been busy in a completely different way.

Because he has been going off with dance uploads.

We’re talking almost daily at this point — and absolutely no one is complaining. If anything, it feels like the fandom collectively forgot how to breathe once or twice this week.

He’s clearly back in a more active rhythm again — dancing, posting, and continuing to promote All Night.

And today, Smart wrapped up yet another media run, with two live interviews — and of course, cute moments from both quickly flooded the timelines.

From aurora vibes to daily dance attacks and surprise lives — this week definitely kept us on our toes. And what better way to end it exactly like it started, with Smart once again posting They Don’t Know About Us — this time on his IG story.

Until next week 🖤💙🩷✨

Smartboom Auralis

SmartBoom Weekly Wrap-Up: The Scoop & The Stir 🎢 No. 33

And here we are… stepping into a week that felt heavy right from the very beginning.

GIR started things off by finally releasing their official statement, and to no one’s surprise, it didn’t calm anything down. If anything, it did the exact opposite. The wording, the tone, the structure… it all felt a little too familiar, and many fans got flashbacks to GIR’s very first statement during Top Form. And for many, that alone triggered a lot of emotions, because we all know how that situation played out 😒

So instead of clarity, it just added more tension.

And as if that wasn’t enough, Next Stage followed up by saying they would “clear things up” the next day in response to GIR’s statement — which at this point just had people waiting, because nothing ever really gets simpler…🙄

Next Stage stated that the first two postponements were due to GIR not completing visa-related steps, while the third was tied to the lawsuit. And honestly, that could have been the end of that whole situation, but instead, Next Stage took it a step further.

Because then came the “thank you” post.

A post directed only at Auralis, using Boom’s North Star — and honestly… the amount of audacity in that move.

If the past months have proven anything, it’s that these fandoms do not need any help starting fights. And yet, that’s exactly what this did. Only thanking Auralis, while completely ignoring that Smart has two fandoms — both of which have been equally vocal in their frustration and, in many ways, even supportive toward Next Stage up until that point.

It didn’t take long before reactions hit, and just as quickly as the post appeared, it was deleted again, with Next Stage claiming they had been hacked.

And speaking of things disappearing, Boom also uploaded a selfie this week that was deleted just minutes later. Normally, I don’t share content they choose to remove, but this one felt different. I don’t think the post was taken down because of the photo itself, but rather because of the song he chose to use. Boom used the song “Toji Fushiguro” by FREESOUL, and to sum it up quickly, the song carries a ruthless, unstoppable warrior energy. And honestly, after everything that has happened, I can’t even blame that feeling — I’m kind of here for it. Though some might have found it a bit confrontational or angry, and maybe that’s why it was removed, who knows 🤷‍♀️

But let’s be honest… it’s been almost a full year since Top Form ended. And while there have been bright moments, it has mostly felt like being stuck in a waiting loop. Every time something starts to build, something else comes in and pulls it right back down again. The amount of patience fans have shown throughout all of this is honestly admirable 👏

But neither Boom nor Smart are anywhere near where they should be. A lot of that frustration continues to be directed at the companies and at their management — or what often feels like the lack of it.

Smart’s fans, in particular, are extremely frustrated right now with GIR’s management, and many are stepping away because of it. Even though GIR has kept a relatively low profile this week, everything the CEO or sometimes even a team member reposts or shares still gets attention — and not in a good way.

Smart himself has also been quieter on social media. This week has mostly been filled with Songkran content and promotion for All Night, along with a few occasional TikTok uploads. He also shared an IG post with a more serious, almost dangerous look, and a post on X promoting his upcoming It’S SKIN event on the 23rd of May. And while many fans were relieved to see him, there is also concern. Fans noticed that some clips had been recorded on the same day, which only added to the feeling that there hasn’t been much new content coming from him.

He also had a media visit this week, but everything was recorded and nothing was released ahead of time. No teasers, no previews, no behind-the-scenes from him or GIR.

Boom, on the other hand, is slowly finding his way back onto social media. Posting here and there — small updates, little glimpses — whether it’s from a possible outdoor basketball court, to a simple “hi” on X, or showing up with shorter hair and a Hello Kitty sticker on his cheek on TikTok… Which honestly not many could pull off, but somehow Boom does🐈‍⬛
He also appeared with what looked like a shorter hairstyle, and while some fans were emotional thinking he had cut it, others celebrated it. Whether anything has actually changed, or if it was just styled differently maybe because of Takato's birthday, we’ll likely find out next week at his upcoming event with Percy.

While things overall seem to be moving in a more positive direction for Boom, the situation is currently very different for Smart.

Tension has been high since the press conference, and with the LATAM tour now cancelled and the way GIR has handled it, emotions are running strong in every direction.

You can feel it across the timelines. Fans are worried, angry, restless, and purely exhausted — asking Smart to speak, explain, go live, post something… anything that isn’t just scheduled content. Some are stepping away, while others are trying to make sense of everything, sharing views, theories, and urging him to get a lawyer.

And yes, if Smart is being personally sued, then he should have his own lawyer. Because his position may not fully align with GIR’s.

But we also have to take a step back here. Because if things are already moving behind closed doors, posting — and especially going live — may not be something that comes easily, or is even possible, for Smart right now. A lot of the tension is due to the lawsuit, but we don’t know what’s written in it, and we’re not going to find out.

So while discussing things can help some people cope, it’s also worth asking yourself what it does to you. If it starts creating more stress than clarity, it might be worth stepping back for a bit or maybe revisit old clips and edits, or spend some time watching new fan call clips 🩷

This may not be a time that brings clarity or answers — not about LATAM and not about the lawsuit. And even though I’m sure Smart will post as much as he can, and even though this weighs heavily on fans, it must be weighing even more on him.

At the end of the day, I believe a lot of this comes down to trust. Whether each fan believes that Smart has learned from the past year and that he’s taking control where he can.

And that is something each person has to decide for themselves.

But in all of this, I hope you take care of yourself. If you need a break, take it. If you need distance, take it. Nothing is more important than your own health🫂❤️

And I truly believe that when the time is right, we’ll once again see the Smart we’ve all come to hold so dear.

Until next week 🖤💙🩷✨

Smartboom Auralis

SmartBoom Weekly Wrap-Up: The Scoop & The Stir 🎢 No. 32

And we’re back, with a week that got off to a flying start 🚀… ish 👀

In the beginning of the week, news started circulating that Smart’s LATAM tour would be postponed yet again. But since nothing had been officially announced, Syra and Auralis fans decided to park the panic and look elsewhere while waiting for actual confirmation. And honestly… that turned out to be a good call, because the timeline was about to get very busy.

The photographer from Boom’s recent photoshoot suddenly decided to bless us all with more photos, and not just one or two. It turned into a full-on drip feed of visuals, each one somehow trying to outdo the last. And at that point it wasn’t even about “these look good” anymore — it was more like collective disbelief, with Betus and Auralis trying to remember how breathing works.

And then Boom himself took it a step further. The very next day he went on an absolute sharing spree. A photo showing his Apricity tattoo on X, a short clip with a 🐋 clearly aimed at Betus, a return to the badminton court showcasing Auralis colours, and even a TikTok lip-syncing to a song about missing someone. And just when it seemed like it couldn’t escalate any further, he finished it all off with a post-sweat badminton photo and the caption: “Miss me?”

And honestly… it’s been a while since Auralis lost composure that fast.

It was pure excitement and heartfelt joy. People connecting dots that may or may not exist, resurrecting old theories, and treating every post like it was a carefully crafted message. The delulu wasn’t just back — it was thriving. And at that point, every Auralis fan was waiting. Waiting for Smart.

And the very next day… he delivered.

Smart opened the day by posting on the one platform Boom hadn’t touched, with a simple “see you 😙”. Now logically, that could easily have been directed at fans attending the private event later that day, but logic had already left the building. Auralis were fully settled into their delulu universe and not ready to come back down 🥰

Clips from the event quickly started circulating, showing Smart smiling, chatting, and clearly enjoying time with fans both at the event and on fan calls.

The following day, Boom shifted the tone again, sharing photos and a video from home, giving Songkran blessings together with his mom — a much softer and more grounded moment.

Smart followed with a video dressed in traditional Thai attire, reaching toward viewers while a song of love and longing played in the background.

And somewhere in all of this… it felt like we had almost forgotten how the week had started.

Until reality hit.

NextStage officially announced that Smart’s LATAM tour would not be postponed, but cancelled. The reactions were instant. Some fans were furious, others deeply disappointed, while a few simply said they had seen it coming. And truthfully, this tour has been rocky from the very beginning😔

For six months, LATAM fans have waited, hoped, and invested time, money, and energy into something that was postponed twice and now cancelled entirely. And every time, GIR has failed to show a basic level of communication and respect fans deserved. At this point, it’s no longer just frustration — it’s people leaving. We’ve seen fans stepping back in anger and even fan clubs shutting down because of GIR. And still, it feels like nothing has been learned.

Because right after all of this hit, Smart once again uploaded a series of Songkran photos, and honestly… the timing couldn’t have been worse. While fans were hurt, frustrated, and worried about everything happening around him, he was posting festive content, some even including pretty wild AI-generated elements. Many were left speechless. Some instantly blamed GIR, saying they controlled his account, others openly expressed disappointment, some quietly disappeared again, and some just wished him a happy Songkran.

A few tried to lighten the mood with edits and memes, but when Smart followed it up with a TikTok dance the day after in the same outfit — and another photo post again today on Weibo — most fans were left feeling disappointed.

Whether he was told to post or not, we don’t know. But he did use GIR’s hashtag, which he doesn’t always do. And usually, Smart is very good at de-escalating. This just wasn’t that. It felt horribly timed, poorly handled, and like a weak attempt to drown out the noise without addressing what actually caused it.

Instead of de-escalating it did almost the opposite. It gave haters enough fuel to go on another spree, while fans were left feeling hurt and disappointed, noticing a clear misalignment between what Smart was posting and the mood and worry surrounding everything right now.

And that’s the bigger issue, because this isn’t something a few posts can fix.

More and more fans are now starting to wonder if the ongoing lawsuit is already affecting decisions behind the scenes. From the lack of sponsors at the recent private event, to no trending activities, and now the cancellation of the LATAM tour. And in the middle of all of this, GIR has still not said a single word.

No statement. No clarification. Nothing.

And considering how vocal they once were, throwing statements left and right, it’s honestly almost impressive how silent they’ve suddenly become. Seemingly leaving Smart, their biggest artist, to take the full impact for something that is essentially and completely their responsibility to handle.

So here we are. Waiting. Hoping for some kind of response, some form of acknowledgment from GIR… but at this point, it almost feels more likely that snow will fall during Songkran than GIR stepping up as a company instead of throwing their artist into the crossfire.

Until next week 🖤💙🩷✨

Smartboom Auralis

SmartBoom Weekly Wrap-Up: The Scoop & The Stir 🎢 No. 31

Last week we left off with Smart in the middle of his media visits… and was that random? Absolutely not. Because after so many chaotic weeks, I think we deserve to start this one on a good and positive note — and Smart absolutely delivered. His performance on T-Pop Stage was smooth, confident, and honestly just really well done 💪

Boom’s camp has been relatively quiet for some time now, and for a while it honestly felt like getting whiplash trying to follow the reactions. On one side, you have thoughtful and encouraging messages — fans wishing him good mornings, good days, and sweet dreams. And on the other side, you have anger, demands, and frustration directed toward the companies and the lack of information regarding his role in Akina.

But all of that seemed to dissolve, at least for a moment, when news broke that Boom would be making an appearance in Way To You. The excitement quickly took over, and for a while, that became the main focus.

Of course, it didn’t last long...

A few hours later, Tailai posted an update — Akina was no longer Akina, but had now been renamed Nour the Series, and the new cast was officially announced on X. Many fans urged others to immediately unfollow the account, but the timing of the two events suddenly didn’t seem like much of a coincidence. Because aside from a few bursts of outrage directed at Tailai and WeTV, most Betus fans stayed focused on Boom’s IG story updates and his appearance in Way To You, even urging each other not to give the new series announcement any attention.

However… that didn’t last either.

The following day, the reactions really hit. Fans fully released their frustration over the recasting and the wording used in the press conference. It felt like everyone joined the discussion in one way or another — even Syra fans who know Boom from the Top Form days couldn’t hold back from commenting.

But just like I’ve said before — no one seems to de-escalate quite like Boom and Smart.

Boom uploaded photos of himself getting ready for a photoshoot, followed by a cute short clip of him happily watching a red balloon fly away. And Smart shared more moments from his media visits. And slowly but surely, that started shifting the energy again.

Eagle-eyed fans also spotted a new tattoo, and theories quickly spread trying to figure out what it was. Later in the week, Boom himself revealed two words he had gotten tattooed: “Faith” and “Apricity.”

For quite some time now, it hasn’t really been delulu filling the space at Auralis, but more reminiscence — looking back at moments that brought joy. From seeing Smart or Boom watching Auralis edits, to small details like a dog keychain on a bag, old plushies from the SmartBoom era still being kept, or the way they still somehow manage to post strikingly close to each other🤍

But this week… a little spark of delulu returned✨

From them using the same songs, to fans analysing words, tattoos, and even flowers down to the smallest detail — and of course, we are back to connecting jewellery again. Whether any of it means anything… who knows. But a small warmth definitely spread across the fandom again🥰

On Smart’s side, things continue to be somewhat busy.

He uploaded another dance TikTok to SWIM by BTS, as well as the dance tutorial for All Night. And this week especially, Smart has been on a serious sharing spree when it comes to All Night — so much so that it honestly makes you wonder what exactly GIR is up to at the moment, because they are not nearly as active when it comes to the actual promo…

GIR did, however, upload a homemade All Night Songkran edition video… and across the board fans collectively didn’t know what hit them with the amount of colour, energy, and dance moves that suddenly dropped 😅

One thing GIR may — or hopefully are — working on is a playlist for the behind-the-scenes videos on their YouTube channel. Because finding those videos is way too difficult unless a direct link is shared. A playlist would make them so much more visible.

And I’ll be a little self-critical here as well, because I could definitely improve the structure on this channel too — but then again, this isn’t exactly my full-time job😉

That being said… there is never a dull moment.

Because this channel suddenly saw a lot of comments disappear across several uploaded shorts — and while I had my fun chatting with YouTube support for the last couple of days and learning just how many things can remove comments… they do seem to be back again 🥳

And just like that, we were heading toward the end of the week once again, and I honestly thought we had had our last action… but boy was I wrong!

Because Boom dropped photos from the previously teased photoshoot — and once again, no one was prepared👀

Because that turned out to be an insane photoshoot — and honestly, well done Boom💪🔥 Some of those photos could have been taken straight out of a Calvin Klein ad… and honestly, I hope they notice him!

But just as Betus and Auralis were trying to recover from that — Smart decided to upload a shirtless photo from home as well. And at that point, it genuinely felt like Syra and Auralis collectively lost all ability to think or function.

And that’s where I’ll leave it for this week. Me quietly battling YouTube’s limit of only 10 photos per post. But what a luxury problem😆

We started with something great — and somehow, we’re ending on something great as well. So let’s enjoy that feeling and bask in it for as long as we can… because we never quite know what tomorrow might bring.

Until next week 🖤💙🩷✨

SmartBoom Weekly Wrap-Up: The Scoop & The Stir 🎢 No. 30

And we’re back — with a week that didn’t bring much in terms of events, but definitely brought a lot of noise 🙄

The removal of Boom from Akina is still sitting heavily with many fans. And when it was announced that Boom would still be attending the Percy event in April, the initial reaction was outrage. Because how can they remove him from Akina with the reasoning that they want to focus on his health — only to still go through with this event?

At the same time, only a limited number of seats were available, and the event quickly sold out ✨

And speaking of outcries…

Fans had a very similar reaction to Smart’s upcoming event at the end of April in Shenzhen. Not only does the schedule seem to stretch far too long, but even the ticketing process created issues.

A Chinese fan club of Smart was in charge of announcing the requirements, and some of them were… quite out of the ordinary. Among other things, this included a minimum spending requirement on merchandise, a vetting process to ensure fans were “real fans,” and more.

Auralis reacted quickly, once again expressing that they no longer felt welcome. And after a few hours, the restrictions were lifted.

However, that didn’t calm things down — because shortly after, Syra turned their frustration toward Auralis once again, lashing out not only at them but at GIR as well.

Betus also added fuel to the situation, pointing out that Smart was now doing a two-day event — something that had previously been planned for Boom, which at the time received a lot of negative reactions.

And just like that, the fan fighting was once again flourishing across the timelines, with some fans once again asking for all the hate to stop.

And it’s not only the fan fighting — which, unfortunately, is nothing new. Something else a bit worrying has started showing itself as well.

Last week, an official fan club for Boom decided to shut down due to personal reasons, and this week an official fan club for Smart decided to go into rest mode. Not because of personal reasons, but because of GIR’s management and the lack of respect for fans that they have felt for far too long.

Fan fighting is one thing — but maybe companies should start paying a bit more attention when fan clubs begin shutting down😣

But the timelines also had some brighter moments.

Boom has been trending multiple times this week, with both Betus and Auralis organising support projects. Betus helped get Boom trending by sharing, among other things, delicious-looking food, while Auralis later created a flower trend for him.

Smart also made it onto the trending list this week, and it does make you reminisce about the old days — how hard everyone worked to get there — and now it’s almost a weekly occurrence 🥹

And honestly… imagine one day if a support trend could happen with both Betus and Auralis — or Syra and Auralis — joining together. Wouldn’t that be great 🥰

Boom himself also uploaded a more artistic photo series. It stood out immediately — black and white, more melancholic, with Boom not looking directly into the camera and with the text “if it cost my soul... then take it.” But later in the week, he returned in colour, smiling softly with his mother by his side🤍

On Smart’s side, things have been steadily active.

He uploaded more energetic TikTok dances and also appeared on other IG profiles — including Kazz Magazine, which shared a photo collection from his interview connected to Low Batt.

Smart also appeared on MoonlightGlow’s IG together with four other actors, with the account thanking him for attending the event. The comment section quickly turned into a support space for Smart, and some fans even began hoping that MoonlightGlow might have him in mind for a future project 👀 — though for now, that remains speculation.

However, concern from fans also grew after a short upload from one of the GIR team members. The post included a cartoon of a wolf and a pig with the text: “the wolf is cruel to the giant pig.”

Naturally, this led to a lot of worry given everything that's going on. Some fans also pointed out that Smart seemed a bit down in the clip. But what the post actually meant — or why it was shared in the first place — remains unclear.

Smart also posted an April Fools video with coworkers. While it was likely meant as a lighthearted joke — as most things are on that day — many fans didn’t quite receive it that way. While a few found it funny, others chose not to engage with it and many expressed that it felt truly misplaced given everything that is currently happening.

Smart may very well have intended to make people smile — to bring a bit of lightness into a heavy moment. But timing matters, and with emotions still running all over the place and fans still very worried about the ongoing lawsuit, the reaction was understandably mixed.

But April 1st also kicked off Smart’s schedule for the month, and as of today, he is continuing with a packed schedule of media visits for All Night💪 Let's Gooooo✨

And finally, a bit of warmth hit the Auralis heart this week when both Smart and Boom posted beautiful sky photos shortly after one another — one on IG, the other on X. Interestingly, this time Smart was the one posting on X.

It didn’t take long before Auralis connected the two posts as being “under the same sky.”

And speaking of skies, the SmartBoom FC is currently collecting personally made stars for “The Auralis Story” with deadline tomorrow. For anyone interested in submitting your star you can read more about it here: youtube.com/post/UgkxgpnVywcn_arh_BIo5irony0sjTyNI…

And on that warm and loving note, we end this week. Let’s hope for more love and support through next week — and a little less hate 🤞

Until next week 🖤💙🩷✨

✨The Kittenpups✨ Story time

So I was supposed to start writing the weekly wrap-up… but instead I ended up writing my first — let’s call it — fictive story.

So yeah… that happened 😅

Enjoy this little piece of my procrastination… or just skip 😉

-----------

There once was a cat without a home. One day, it was invited into a big house, and there it met a pup who did have a home of its own, but was only there to play.

At first, their owners didn’t give them much attention. They were just left to themselves. But it didn’t take long before something started to shift, because the chemistry between them was undeniable. The pup with its bright, bouncing energy, and the cat with its soft, lingering clinginess, it just worked. And before anyone really realised it, everyone was already watching, already smiling, already a little bit attached.

Together, their laughter felt bigger than them, like it could lift the heaviest clouds and somehow make the sky feel lighter. Their owners noticed too, and soon they started arranging more, more moments, more reasons for them to stay side by side. They even gave them children of their own. Children born from that quiet, obvious bond between them, something in between, a mix of two different worlds that somehow still fit.

And for a while, everyone was happy. Everyone felt loved.

But then the owners started fighting. Loudly. And things began to change. Something broke. And in the end, the pair was forced apart. The cat was sent back to its own kittens, the pup to its puppies, and their shared children, the kittenpups, were left in the middle, not knowing where they belonged or which way to go, quietly calling out for their parents.

There was anger. Frustration thrown at the owners, but they didn’t listen.

The cat was no longer allowed to acknowledge its own kittenpups, not by name, not even in passing. The children cried for their cat, waited and hoped, but in the end only silence came back, and something that felt a lot like hurt. Some kittenpups left quietly, tails tucked and ears lowered. Others curled into themselves, waiting for a day that might never come, still hoping for the moment their cat would look at them again, smile, and call them by name. And some let go of that last part of themselves, shedding the feline pieces they held onto, choosing instead to become full pups.

Now the pup’s owner was happy, watching the pup’s litter grow, pleased with the kittenpups that stayed. And so both owners continued planning and arranging new things for the cat and the pup, moving them forward on separate paths as if nothing had happened.

Time passed, but not quietly. Because the kitties, the pups, and the kittenpups kept fighting. The kitties and pups fought each other like it was in their nature, and the pups and kitties fought with the kittenpups, who fought back. All the scratching and biting left so many hurt, and once again many kittenpups left feeling defeated, feeling no support, no love.

And the cat and the pup, they tried. In the small ways they still could, in glances, in careful words, in things left unsaid but still felt, they tried to show that the love hadn’t disappeared, that it hadn’t been erased.

But they were hurting too. Still processing, still missing something they couldn’t quite reach, still carrying that quiet regret of how everything had fallen apart.

And even now, after all this time, many of the kittenpups are left with scars from the fighting and the defending, but they still support their cat and pup and each other the best they can. They continue to cheer for them, even on the days when they themselves are feeling low.

They make sure to talk about their parents, so much that it almost overflows, hoping in some way that their parents can still feel that love and support. They make videos, reminiscing about happier times to lift the spirits, comforting each other through the difficult ones, and continuing to wait.

Because even if things have changed, the love that created them is still there and so they wait.

And with it, the hope that maybe one day something will shift, a door will open, and their mommy cat and daddy pup will somehow find their way back to each other…

and once again come back home🖤🩷💙✨
