Good Afternoon @Mwiireu_Kpop-cant-comment and @sugarxthetic . Long ⏰ no see as I am mostly active in Threads App for the Topic of Non-Korean Asian Pop 🎵🎶 during the last, several weeks.
Happy 22nd Anniversary of Debut to NEWS on today (15-9-25, Monday). 🎉🎊🎈 While the J-Pop 👦-Band itself is currently active with 3️⃣ members, NEWS will always be 4️⃣ within my own heart. 💜💗💛💚
This Community Post features 2️⃣ of my past fanarts about NEWS' 4th Member named @YuyaTegoshi1054 (手越祐也). [Who was formerly its Youngest Member-cum-Main Vocalist from July 2005 to June 2020 despite debuting within Sepetember 2003 as a 15-Year-Old 1st-Year High 🏫 Student.] From late 2006 to June 2020, Tego-Chan (テゴちゃん) was the younger half of NEWS' now-disbanded vocal sub-unit named Tegomass. 💗
The 1st Fanart was completed within June 2020 during Covid Lockdown featuring Tego-Chan's fictitious ♀️ alter-ego named Yuko-Chan (祐子ちゃん). [Empathsising Tego-Chan's talented singing vocals & cutesy image.] Whereas the 2nd Fanart was completed within April 2023 featuring Yuko-Chan with 2️⃣ TRUZ Babies named Matetsu & Yedee. (Whose respective dads are 2️⃣ ex-Treasure Members named @officialmashiho and @BANGYEDAMOFFICIAL .) 🐹🦊
All 3️⃣ ♂️ Asian Pop Musicians are currently active as soloists and/or solo entertainers within the present era. (After leaving their respective groups on 19-6-20 and 8-11-22 respectively due to various personal circumstances.) Along with Tego-Chan being also active as a YouTuber after leaving NEWS as of the present era.
On the previous Thursday (24-7-25), Energy released a new song titled as "One More Friend". Here are the starting ⏰ stamp of all of its members' solo parts.
0:17 - Edy Hsiao
0:43 - Milk Yeh
0:54 - Penny Hsieh
1:41 - Toro Kuo
1:52 - Joe Chang
Not only the lyrics of "One More Friend" is relatable to what all of the original 5️⃣ Energy members went through during the 2000s, but it's also relatable to the heartwarming meet-up that was featured on an episode of a K-Variety 📺 show titled as "My House Husband" (Season 2) within this May. (Featuring 3️⃣ of the 6️⃣ original members of a 1G K-Pop 👦-Band named Sechskies - Eun Jiwon Oppa, Ko Jiyong Oppa & Jang Suwon Oppa.) The meet-up was conceived due how the 🇰🇷 general public became shocked over Jiyong Oppa looking severely underweight several months ago.
Here is the MV Link of "One More Friend". Pls check it out during your free time. 😉
Good Evening to @Mwiireu_Kpop-cant-comment and @sugarxthetic . 🌙🌌 Just want to share with both of you guys a 2nd setlist of songs related to Racial Harmony Day in Singapore. It consists of songs from 2️⃣ now-disbanded English-Singing, Multinational Asian Pop 🎵🎶 Groups - Blush and Z-Stars.
Good Evening to @Mwiireu_Kpop-cant-comment and @sugarxthetic . 🌙🌌 Just want to share with both of you guys a Cultural Appriciation Non-Korean Asian Pop 🎵🎶 Combination. [Cos the previous Monday (21-7-25) is Racial Harmony Day for 🇸🇬 (aka my 🏠 country).] Pls check out the 3️⃣ following songs below during your own free time. 😉
Good Evening to @via45 . Within the 2nd episode of @andTEAM_official "Go One!!!", you replied to me via 1️⃣ of its comments. (On why I specifically mentioned that Harua-Kun reminded me of the teenage Tego-Chan during @NEWS0915_official early years.) If you really can't find the 5️⃣ NEWS songs' respective MVs within this app, here are their respective MV Links.
Good Evening to Both @Mwiireu_Kpop-cant-comment and @sugarxthetic . Just to share with both you guys about a T-Pop Classic from 🇹🇭 being covered into Mandarin & Malay versions from the last 2️⃣ decades of the 20th century.
1. T-Pop Original from Thailand: Asanee-Wasan - Happy, No Problem (1989)
Among all members of a J-Pop 👦-Band named NEWS, Takahisa Masuda-San (増田貴久) shared the most number of personal similarities as myself. Not only I was born in 🇸🇬 just 1️⃣ Day before Massu (まっすー) celebrated his own 5th 🎂 within Tokyo in Japan, but also have the similar personal traits of Type 🅾️ Cancerians being both in the same month of July (albeit in different years & days) as well. Along with having dumplings as the same favourite food.
The 1st fanart (which I completed within 2020) featured a fictitious 👩 named Takako-Chan (貴子ちゃん) who is based on Massu within my own 🌐 of fanarts. It empathises on his following traits of:
1. Being the fasion lover of NEWS and helping to the rest of the J-Pop 👦-Band to design stage/concert performing outfits.
2. Looking like a Sunshine 👦 whenever he smiles along with his own face remaining cute & youthful-looking - even more than 2️⃣ decades have already passed.
3. Being the older half of NEWS' now-disbanded vocal sub-unit named Tegomass with his own vocal talents.
Whereas the 2nd fanart (which I completed within 2023) featured Takako-Chan being subgrouped with the 4️⃣ Youngest TRUZ Babies - Som, Ruru, Woopy & Podong. I will just explain the aforementioned subgrouping below.
Good Morning to @dicesoup274 . 🌄 Just to let you know that on some occasions within the Threads app, we chatted with each other about both topics of J-Pop and K-Pop. Recently on the night of this Tuesday (24-6-25), it was me who introduced Energy to you via its newest song titled as "High 5" from the 🇹🇼 Mandopop 🎵🎶 Industry. (However as my Instagram/Threads account name has both my birth name & birth year, pls don't ever reveal it within this app.)
Meanwhile, I just want to ask you for advice for the following situation below.
Either in 2026 or 2027, I am planning to type out a request ✉ to the United Nations Branch Office of my own 🏠 country. (To request the said international organisation to give out a special appriciation award to all 14 members of a once-active, K-Pop Inspired, English-Singing, Multinational Asian Pop 🎵🎶 Co-Ed Group named Z-Stars.) The actual intention of the special appriciation award request is to have something the CAN ONLY BE OWNED by Z-Stars as a full group but CANNOT BE OWNED by all respective, debuting members of 3️⃣ other groups. (In terms of group activity-wise.) Those 3️⃣ groups are:
1. A now-disbanded, Korean-Singing, almost fully Western 👦-Band named EXP Edition
2. A now-disbanded, trilingual, mostly Non-Asian 👧 Group named Kaachi (which already has 3️⃣ of its 4️⃣ ex-members redebuting as an independent 👧 Group named ATTI on late Feburary/early March 2023).
3. A currently active, 🇰🇷-Based, All-Japanese (with a bit of Korean & White-Australian Blood), English-Singing Global 👧 Group named XG.
However on last year (2024) within this app, a Native 🇰🇷 Netizen (who hates everything about global groups that never cater for the domestic K-Pop Market, especially XG) advised me that international organisations are likely to reject such a request. (For excluding certain groups of people.) Therefore, what shall I do to improve this request ✉ without completely abandoning its idea at all? Thank You.
P.S. - After Z-Stars received the special appriciation award as a full group, it can also be received by all of 2️⃣ other English-Singing, Multinational Pop 🎵🎶 Groups' respective ex-members. One of them is a now-disbanded 👧 Group named Blush (which only had Asian members pre-disbandment). Whereas the other group is a currently active Co-Ed Group named Now United (which has both Asian & Non-Asian members since debuting in 2017 until now).
Good Evening to Both @Mwiireu_Kpop-cant-comment and @sugarxthetic . Energy released a new song within this app on today (24-6-25, Tuesday) which is titled as "High 5". From my point of view, "High 5" is a J-Pop Esque song in terms of music-wise.
If both of you guys are still unfamiliar with the Energy members individually, I will list out the starting ⏰ stamp of their respective solo singing parts below.
0:17 - Edy Hsiao
0:28 - Joe Chang
0:34 - Penny Hsieh
1:19 - Milk Yeh
1:44 - Toro Kuo
Pls check out "High5" during your own free time. 😉
For everyone's info, the trend of having ♀️ Pop 🎵🎶 Fans addressing their favourite ♂️ Idol Pop Musicians as their "Special Someone" is actually not new in K-Pop (let alone the Pop Culture spheres around the world). Among all of the well-known cases for the reverse version of this trend, there was a young actress in 🇺🇸 who was killed by an obsessed ♂️ fan during the late 1980s. (Cos he personally couldn't tolerate watching her involving in an "Adult" scene with another actor in a movie.)
Within the 1G K-Pop Era, there were many fangirl unnies (within the native 🇰🇷 population) of a 1G K-Pop 👦-Band named H.O.T using a self-proclaimation nickname of "Mrs. Tony Ahn" (or "안승부인" in the Korean Language). [Tony Oppa's 🇰🇷 Birth Name: Ahn Seung Ho (안승호), "부인" means "(Somebody Else's) Wife" in the Korean Language.] However many years after H.O.T's rivalry with another 1G K-Pop 👦-Band named Sechskies have already died down (due to both groups' respectiv, the aforementioned nickname is used by some members of the native 🇰🇷 general public on to a 🖤💎 of Sechskies named Kim Jae Deok Oppa. (Due to both 1G K-Pop Idols becoming longtime roommates with each other until the present era ever since they served military service together during the late 2000s.)
Pls let me know in the comments whether if all of you guys want MV recommendations of H.O.T and Sechskies' respective songs (within this app) or not. Thank You.
