at this point im not even surprised by the fandom’s attitude towards mingyu’s orange hair anymore, im just frustrated.. yall better hope & pray mingyu hasnt seen/found out abt this ! he’s already insecure about his skintone, so yall could uhm…. not resort to making fun of a hairstyle he had for 3 seconds almost 2 years ago
and it wasnt even the color ! it was the style ! when it was styled correctly it looked fine !!!
and remember when hoshi dyed his hair orange and yall hated it & made fun of it too??? me neither bc yall didnt say shit lmao.
pick new material that doesnt revolve around making fun of members’ appearances. idc what ur intentions are bc at this point i dont care. a lot of people are upset abt this “joke” and have endured it long enough. and we dont know if mingyu would find it funny so it’s best to just not joke abt it at all. in this v live back in nov 2016, he said he tried to make a “big change” for younghee, aka carats (around 5:45):
and yalls response is to make jokes about it continuously, even after a year and a half. nice.
edit #1: before anyone says “the meme is about unconditional love regardless of appearance, its not insulting him” or some bullshit like that, this is what i have to say: joking about something and then acknowledging the joke is problematic does not make it right. theres a way to acknowledge problematic and harmful behavior without making trying to get a laugh out of people.
edit #2: i would also like to add a few things. firstly, saying you love mingyu doesnt excuse making fun of him?? you can still do hurtful things to people u love lmao. secondly, the “mingyu isnt oversensitive” argument: how. do. you. know. i understand mingyu’s 21 years old and he’s a grown ass man, that doesnt mean you can unapologetically and freely make jokes that you’re not sure he would take offense to.. yall need to stop assuming idols can “take the heat” because they “signed up for it” and learn to just be kind people. when you can avoid being a dick, please do so. don’t put negative energy into the world just because you can, and be conscious of what you say—especially over the internet where celebrities might read anything and everything with their name slapped on it. it’s not that hard to keep your rude comments to yourself.
Are you kidding me?! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this, thank you for bringing this to light again. Seems like I have to go another rant again because this is ridiculous. These “fans” make me sick because they really think it’s ok to insult Mingyu about his appearance just because they don’t agree with it. There’s literally so many better ways to say you don’t like something instead of making jokes/insults that can seriously hurt a persons feelings. However when it’s a more popular member they don’t say anything or they love everything they do. Not only his appearance but I’ve seen people criticize his rapping ability as well. He may not be the “best rapper” in SVT but he carries his weight well just like all the other members. Idols are people too, start treating them as such
I felt like this needed to be said not only on my personal blog but on this blog as well
Literally stop butting your noses in idol’s personal lives especially when it comes to dating and their sexualities if they have not said anything about it then it is none of your business you rats
For over 2,000 years, historians have argued over the route used by the Carthaginian general Hannibal to guide his army — 30,000 soldiers, 37 elephants and 15,000 horses — over the Alps and into Italy in just 16 days, conducting a military ambush against the Romans that was unprecedented in the history of warfare.
Such an achievement required careful planning and strategizing, but with little physical evidence of the journey available today and few recorded details of the crossing, uncertainty remains about how it was accomplished.
However, in “Secrets of the Dead: Hannibal in the Alps,” a new documentary airing on PBS tonight (April 10), a team of experts takes a fresh look at Hannibal’s incredible trip across treacherous mountain terrain. Together, they re-create his long-lost route and reveal the latest discoveries about his historic accomplishment — and depict the famous elephants that played a critical part in his victory against the Romans.

An archaeological dig drawing to a close this week at Siem Reap’s Phnom Kulen has lent greater credence to the theory that it was the site of the royal palace of the Angkor Empire’s first ruler, Jayavarman II.
The five-week excavation within the Phnom Kulen National Park focused on a specific building within a 400-metre-by-600-metre site believed to be the palace compound of Jayavarman II. It was first identified in 2009, said Jean-Baptiste Chevance, the program director of the NGO Archaeology and Development Foundation, which works closely with the Apsara Authority and trains student archaeologists.
“The first investigation was precisely on that building in 2009 and the second was the Lidar survey in 2012, which confirmed that the site in itself was [likely] the royal palace,” he said, referring to a remote sensing method that can reveal ground features otherwise hidden by vegetation. “We are interested in the way it was constructed and the way it was used.” Read more.
