HAPPY (BELATED) 300TH DAY ZE:A~
Okay I'm sort of tearing up rn because I'm a failure like this but, just. :( After watching EK + EKR, I can genuinely say you guys deserve this sfm, and I'm so proud of you guys ♥ Getting yelled at 24/7 + kicked out of the group + money confiscated + working in a farm to earn money + eating 1 bowl of instant ramyun per day + sleeping in tents + wingcar concerts + having to do your own promotions etc etc = 9 most amazing boys ever. Fine, so maybe I'm just a bit more emotional after watching them cry in Seoul Train + First Live Event ;______;
Honestly, I have never met a group that won me over so quickly. All it took was one ridiculous Idol League episode and then I was sucked into fandom forever ;~; I guess they reminded me of 2pm, in a way, with their flailing all over the place and ridiculousness and urgh I just cannot imagine not loving them like this.
I love how they're real, most of all. EK + EKR showed how they weren't bffs all the time, how when the time comes for it your survival is still more important than your friendship, how despite all of their differences and arguments and getting annoyed with one another, they still made it. Ngl, after the DBSK + 2pm fiascos I've found it difficult to trust a group that always seems like they're permanently close, but ZE:A... isn't.
You have Kwanghee the brat who declares that he hates half the group (and Dongjun shoots back that more than half of the group hate him too, lmao) and is permanently superglued to Siwan, the little ~rivalry~ between Siwan + Junyoung + Kevin when it was time to choose the leader and more. And when you add that to the other factors like Hyungshik strolling out of the shower completely naked and hugging Junyoung, Kwanghee kissing Siwan all the time, Heechul attempting to lick Junyoung's ear, Taehun giving 3000 yen to Kwanghee for free just because he asked for it... you get a not so classically perfect group but still wonderful and amazing and special all the same :'D

And of course, not to forget the fact that ZE:A includes the most precious boy on earth ♥ ilusfm Im Siwan, never ever ever ever change.
