KINGDOM(킹덤) '백야 (Long Live The King)' MV Teaser - 1/2

January 29, 2024 (released)-

Tae’s hairstylist, Mujin, is interviewed for Harper’s Bazaar Korea. He talks with the magazine about Tae’s beautiful blue hair, noting the process to achieve this ethereal look. He mentions the story and concept of the pictorial were planned in advance, with the male, coming of age, romantic drama “Call Me By Your Name” (CMBYN) being an inspiration.

Article snippet:

🗣️: In this <Bazaar> pictorial, V's unique transformation of blue hair drew attention. Why did you choose this color?

Mujin: After checking the overall story, design, and concept of the pictorial planned by 'Bazaar' in advance, the mise-en-scène of “Call Me by Your Name.”

Mujin also references the LGBTQ+ movie “Blue is the Warmest Color,” a female coming of age movie similar to CMBYN, and we can discern this because he says “warmest” then ‘blue color’ is placed in quotations, indicating he’s citing material that inspired their pictorial. His exact words are, “The warmest ‘blue color’ with a European sensibility rather than a specially decorated feel.” A Google search of “warmest blue color” will showcase the movie, and protagonist Emma’s blue hair color.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Tae has mentioned his fondness for the movie CMBYN. On May 31, 2019, on the heels of pride month, he uploaded to the BTS Twitter page a snippet of him playing the movie’s OST on the piano.

On June 9, 2019, he recommended the movie to Hobi during a live.

On June 9, 2020 (during pride month), Tae read Elio’s father’s impactful speech on a live:

And as an aside, I always found it interesting and noteworthy that the very next day, after reading Elio’s father’s monologue about living life on your terms and no one else’s, Tae responded to a fan on Weverse by saying, “I want to be happy too🥺”

And on September 4, 2023, an article was posted on Weverse. Within the contents of the article, “Rainy Days”, a song from Tae’s solo debut album “Layover”, is noted to have followed the “tomato girl summer” trend, which was inspired by movies such as “Call Me By Your Name.”

KINGDOM 5TH MINI ALBUM 'History Of Kingdom : PartⅤ. Louis' INDIVIDUAL CONCEPT PHOTO (Portrait ver.)

❥ Mujin playing Animal Crossing

(This mini moodboard is made by me; I don’t own any of the pics.)

I'm coming back with another headcanon today. This time, I decided to make something that doesn't involve the reader as much as the previous ones. I had this random thought about our cute Mujin playing Animal Crossing and I had the need to turn it into a whole headcanon. So, without further ado, let's begin!

He squeals A LOT when he plays videogames but with Animal Crossing... Oh, it just gets worse.

He loves to play mostly before going to sleep, feeling all cozy in his bed, because it gives him peace. He also tries to play whenever he's stressed or feeling overwhelmed, it never fails to relax him.

He drops the DS/Switch onto his lap whenever a character says something cute, he also shakes his fists in excitement for a couple of seconds. Then he goes back to play as if nothing happened.

He sulks and pouts when a villager he likes says something about moving. "Why would you wanna go? :("

He squeals in excitement when he receives a gift, but will stick his tongue out at the character if he doesn't like it.

He LOVES to give the villagers lots of gifts. He actually has a big number of villager photos because they all seem to like him back, "I just want to be friends with everyone and make them feel loved :3"

What about shaking trees?? a) he does the happy-fist thing every time the tree drops bells or furniture b) does cute annoyed noises every single time he gets nothing c) screams, like, LITERALLY DOLPHIN-SCREAMS, when the bees start to chase after him. He will even throw his feet at the air in a tantrum, "WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME??"

The first time he came back to pick up the honey comb he waited for five full minutes in case the bees would appear again.

If he's at home and someone knocks at the door, he will tilt his head in that cute anime way until the visitor shows themself, then he will debate between letting them stay or "BUT MY HOUSE IS A MESS!"

He stops playing after fishing 5 sea basses in a row. He saves the game, turns it off and puts it away. He stays silent with crossed arms for a while, but if someone dares to approach him... He will start to complain and whine a lot about that "annoying attention-seeking ocean creature".

Imagine going back home/visiting the dorms after a long day and being welcomed by a really happy and smiley Mujin, running up to you for a warm hug with shiny eyes . "Well... This character randomly moved in... The one I've been wanting to get for a while! :)"

He finds Isabelle so cute because she reminds him of Pompompurin :) I can see him putting their plushies together as if they are holding hands 🥺

Speaking of which, he LOVES the sanrio themed amiibo cards. His favorite is the Marty one, of course, but sometimes he goes back to reality. "Why is he a bear? He's really cute but he should have been a puppy..." he will keep thinking about it for a really long time, even more than he should, you can almost see the math meme all around him as if he was questioning life itself.

Needless to say, there's Pompompurin furniture all over his house/island :D but somehow he made it work out and doesn't look chaotic or random at all.

The village/island name is something random but cute, even the flag he spent hours making looks adorable.

I can imagine him dolphin-screaming every time he sees a tarantula/scorpion and panicking because he suddenly forgets how to play.

The catchphrases and all that stuff... Well, let's just say they are kinda weird.

He tried to make main characters that look like you and the other members :')

He has a cherry blossom themed room!!

He feels peaceful during cherry blossom season, it makes him feel as if he's on his own kingdom.

He changes his haircolor from time to time, mostly to pink (you know, cherry-blossom-king things).

He has a love-hate relationship with Tom Nook, "he looks sus, I can never figure out what he's thinking about... But he doesn't look so greedy anymore!"

He finds Wisp so cute 🥺 and whenever someone asks him the reason for it, he just says "Wisper is so tiny and round that I just want to protect him and keep him in my pocket". "Oh, you're back?! Hi buddy, it's nice to see you again! How are things going on afterlife?? It's your boss giving you too much work?? Ah, that's not fair, It's not even Halloween yet!"

You can easily tell if he's okay/happy because he tends to "sing" the Bubblegum song, even imitating the voices and/or sounds. If not, he will change the song or turn off the music player.

He MUST have a heart-shaped lake. Otherwhise the island would be incomplete.

He loved the Bunny day at first... Now he skips a day on the console settings.

His favorite gyroid is obviously the squeakoid, he was lucky enough to get it the first time and now he treats it as his baby 🥺 he even made a room for it and picked a name from those random baby names websites

He gets so excited if you ask about playing together. He makes you wait for a few minutes because he wants to prepare some gifts for you; he always gives you flowers (your favorite type if he's able, if not, whatever he can choose from, in your favorite color)

He starts to sing in a soft way (without noticing) when you're in one of your play-animal crossing-together dates. He can't help it.

He designed matching clothes for you both 😔 he also designed shirts inspired in the different Kingdom eras just in case the other members would want to play the game some day :')

He likes to have at least one character that reminds him of his cat, you or the members.

He compliments the villagers out loud. "Aww, you're so sweet Coco!", "Wow, Marshall, that shirt looks so good on you, man!", "Thank you for the gift, Goldie! You're so kind!"

He finds Swipper- I mean, Redd, interesting. He called him Dann once and now he's stuck on that. "He looks after the main character, always coming back with cool stuff we probably didn't have before... He gives us art knowledge too! He may be the bad guy, but he's a cool guy too. Hey... Just like Dann!" (Dann in the back be like "...I- What?")

He tried to change the town/island tune to "Baby shark"... He failed miserably.

He has at least one villager whose salute is "Open the gate!"

He dolphin-screams when someone runs over his precious flowers.

He loves to make real wishes after the shooting stars. He knows it's dumb to see it as something more than game pixels, but "doing this makes me feel nice and warm things, it gives me peace and it also makes me happy."

He likes to give you some of the Star Fragments in hopes to remind you that "you are my favorite star."

He made a special spot in his island filled with star related stuff. When he gave you a tour around he told you that "this is nothing compared to the stars in your eyes" after explaining the vibe he tried to go for.

He's somewhat indecisive (and random) so he changes the furniture quite a lot, even their appeareance. "Should I put this plant here? Or perhaps this pink-giant-teddy bear instead? I guess I'll put the cartoon tree... Wait! This arcade machine looks good on this spot, I'll leave it here."

Whenever a villager asks for a favor he's like "Nope, bye :)" but he has actually accepted already :')

His outfits change almost every day but they usually are... kinda questionable. Unless he's playing with you, then he'll try to dress up his character all cute to match with yours :')

He has a secret plushie room... he probably named each and every single one of them.

theyre talking so much shit

eepy

snorkkkkk mimimimim (the re up)

i have this condition called 'need to draw mujin daily or i die'

mujin headcanons mayhaps.... (looks at you with my big eyes

HI!!! LOOKS BACK AT YOU!!! WITH MY BIG OL EYES!!!!

um here’s just a few off the top of my head eeee

-post-disorder diaries, Jin reads to Mugen a lot. He's not even sure if Mugen's listening at first, he just starts reading aloud more or less. Mugen tries not to be obvious with the fact he’s listening until something happens and Mugen references the text Jin read. I think Jin would generally lean more towards poetry but he starts to look for things he thinks Mugen would like after a while.

-I think in a modern au Jin writes his name with its kanji, as is pretty common, but Mugen writes his in katakana ‘because it looks cool’ (also his name kanji has so many strokes and he ain't got time for all that)

-Jin’s awful at cooking, as we know, but I think Mugen just assumes he’d be good at it (“thank god you can cook because I can’t” “...”)

-autism be damned my boy can't work a grill for shit

-^^Mugen can actually cook he just doesn’t want to

-Instead of rings, Jin pierces an ear and Mugen gives him one of his earrings. I don’t think either of them would like having stuff on their hands. (headcanon brought to you by Zoro One Piece)

-Jin stops to pet stray cats. Mugen does not get along with cats.

-Mugen the type of guy to show Jin cool rocks and Jin the type of guy to keep them

-Jin says Mugen’s scruff annoys him (he is lying)
