Irene and Seulgi

[Guest]

and I ask the same thing to you since it seems that you're unable to read this thread's rules

How are you getting triggered at Wendy’s name? Anon was being truthful at that too. How are we to have discussions if we have to censor their members’ names too?
Because the previous anon was hellbent on saying Irene treats all of them the same and I was going to bring up how only YermSeul gets her love language (flowers) and even so she’s only ever bought Yeri pure colored flowers, and straight up just gave Seulgi red roses.

where did I get triggered? where did I say that member's names should be censored? stop seeing things. it's just that this is a seulrene thread and talking about another member in a context that has no correlation to them is off topic, your second paragraph has nothing to do with the original post lol

Then go read back to the previous page to see what anon was pertaining to.

It’s funny how back in 2018, people could disagree and move on. Now? Not so much.

+1 I'm so used to moving past things I don't find it agreeable coz of twtter but I guess there are some people just want to make it about themselves and their sole intention is to create commotion.

da, I agree with this a lot. I notice this too. In my honest opinion and observation, I read Irene as wearing your heart on your sleeves kind of gal. Her emotions are so transparent so she avoids it on camera to not get caught or something. That's why she has that signature Seulgi smile that's so apparent.

It's just my honest perspective so it could be different from others.

Anon you're replying to here, and yes I agree with you. Sometimes you can see it. Like when Seulgi brings up the past or their trainee days - even in the seulgi zip ep - I could feel Irene's mood shift to a more emotional one, like she blinks to stop from tearing up or other times you can tell she's getting emotional because of how small and soft her voice gets. She tends to get quiet/very pensive. It always makes me wonder what's going on in her head. She also seems so shy when she's being affectionate I totally get what Seulgi means when she says she's the warmest person when you get to know her. Initially Seulgi didn't strike me as very talkative but she actually rambles a lot their personalities are quite different.

Yeah anon you get it. I could somewhat tell that she has this sensitive side but it's like she doesn't want people to notice too much. In Irene's contents, whenever she gets excited too, she becomes so animated and it's so cute. Her highs are quite exaggerated at times. So there's a possibility that when she talks about Seulgi, she's keeping herself in check (i.e. her stock answers) so she would not get so emotional. As mentioned, she could've talked about Seulgi the way she talks about Yeri but didn't. It was also been mentioned that Seulrene's relationship are deeper as confirmed by them on Idol theater

It was so interesting to me that Joy mentioned this right away I might just have to watch it again.

Nobody would bat an eye if irene talked about yeri like that or not shying clingy to yeri because people just thought them as sisters but with seulgi, they have different vibes. I saw nobody in rv have the same vibes like sr. They shouldn't be awkward after all this time but yeah. They try to act noncholant but awkward and smitten. I agree with that deeper relationship..

Good example of their unique connection was that pandora ad. Definitely an interesting choice to sell them as their own thing, their chemistry was crazy. The online jokes about it looking like a pride ad weren’t far off lol

[Guest]

Instead reading those chinese rumors i suggest you guys should watch this vlog of Seulgi, esp her prespective about love and relationship. Sometime “late” not always seem too bad, as long as it’s the right timing

I thought her perspective about dating a long time friend was interesting. Normally I see people use the excuse that members wouldn't want to risk it with their friends or co-worker but people still date people they work with all the time irl and clearly seulgi doesn't seem very off put by the idea of dating someone you've been friends with for a long time as long as you feel the same. Of course there's the stuff about timing too and looking around you after having been closed off...but I suppose it's also very different in an idol situation depending on the background of the members/group.

I hope no one takes offense -

Spoiler

I really do ship them a lot, I think they have great chemistry and would make a really cute couple and there's a lot that shippers can take to interpret in certain ways, but the "they're like my real family" or "real sister" talk does give me pause. I do think they've gotten closer in a real way since doing the subunit and I accept that we don't actually know them personally or know how they really feel or really behave around each other though so who knows. I'm always open to hearing different perspectives

Da pc-ing. The sister talk doesn't mean anything to me. I wish people understood, but saying dongsaeng or unnie DOES NOT equal to getting called a sister. Those are terms used to address someone older or younger in their culture. It does not mean that they think of each other literally as sisters. I'm asian too, and we have similar terms too in our language and I kid u not, I teasingly call my crushes with the term that will get translated to "sister" in English but it's never in the literal sense. Direct translations lack a ton of context

[Guest]

I wish more folks were posting here.

Could just be me but, apart from being careful or even avoiding contact during group schedules is it just me or does Irene seem super reserved when having to talk about Seulgi on camera/in interviews. I feel like she deflects a lot of tries to lump the whole group in/talk generally instead of speaking about seulgi herself. I even felt it during the 28 reasons reaction like her just sitting there felt even more quiet than usual. And it doesn't help that even when they do games where they have to do similar things like human idol theatre it's usually ends up in an order that doesn't allow for her to say anything to her?

I was randomly re-watching their ASMR interview today and it gave off that vibe. Seulgi talked about them being friends for so long but Irene only talked about how nice it was to have THEM support her. It's a bit odd

Da the fact that Irene is so hyper aware to avoid talking much about Seulgi or any private moment with her only makes her even more sus to me. Like you guys are group mates, she talks about other members too. Why treat Seulgi so differently, almost as if she wants to protect all their moments in her private bubble

Anon you're replying to here. That's fair & true, I definitely understand the difference between unnie/dongsaeng and similar terms versus sister out west so don't think I mean those instances. I was more talking about the few other times in the context of what was being asked referring to each other as family, or for instance didn't seulgi say she never had a sister but Irene is like her real sister? Stuff like that does give me pause because I do think Seulgi (and Irene to an extent) is usually quite a genuine person so to me it is very possible that's another lense seulgi herself could be looking at it from in terms of how she treats irene somewhat differently. Or even Irene when she calls them kids from time to time. It's also possible that all that could have changed though so that's why I won't claim to know what's going on with them...I guess you could call me one of those flip flop/on the fence anons. I do think if anything happened it would have been recently and I'm well aware there's female couples in Korea who only present as being friends to family and friends even though they're actually not.

Different anon here. It was mentioned before in lchat (that made sense to me) that even in hetero relationships in Korea at least for actors/actresses that when one is asked about their rumored onscreen partners, they deny it and say non-verbatim, "we're like brothers/sisters / he/she is my dongsaeng / he/she is my oppa/noona" but turns out they are dating/they dated. I don't think it matters in this context because seulrene are also celebrities and we know that there is a need to protect the name of the group and themselves.

"we're like brothers/sisters / he/she is my dongsaeng / he/she is my oppa/noona" This used to be 2nd gen excuse inside SM

Hi seulgi Aseul episode was kinda crazy, the matchy outfits, them filming Irene coming in with music from Seulgi's current fave dating show, the custom 아 슬 shirts,

I can accept it being short as hell since we're getting aseul this year. I hope they do more fun content

[Guest]

Semi OT but I was just reading an article from last week about IU breakup rumors and needless to say I take everything Chinese fans say with a massive grain of salt.

Spoiler

"There have been more than a few instances of Korean celebrities breaking up in China. However, each time, these were groundless rumors, different from reality. There have also been negative reactions from locals."

Hell, I've seen the stuff they think about Seulgi that's obviously not true.

I agree anon. Especially with all the drama recently. Gay tea or not their respective fans on there seemingly hate each other so be mindful of the source of these rumors.

da Maybe there's no conspiracy I just think she thinks too much about what to say in general and she loses her words with seulgi because seulgi is just seulgi

Say it's related to that, but why seurrene included Seulgi on that tweet? I'm thinking ASeul fancon but is it too early to announce that since Seulgi is starting her comeback era?

da maybe she just caught wind of the rumor/info from somewhere. but honestly i feel like an aseul fancon/tour is an inevitability at this point and if it’s happening around their cb i wouldn’t be surprised if rumors/leaks about it are starting to circulate now.

DA I saw some posts mentioning aseulcon on DC inside today but nothing much idk if some other rumor got posted somewhere else. They've been talking about it since late last year over there

[Guest]

kind of new to this thread & have been lurking the TLC thread (its rly a cesspool man…)! i think we need some good vibes

what’s everyone’s favourite SR moment / anecdote / interaction / etc. ? for me, it’s when they were playing w bubble wands during the aseul level up spin off w the mountains in the background… they were so cute & relaxed :,)

Spoiler

i think in the same ep. the first thing irene did when she woke up was say “im hungry” in a babytalking way to seulgi… a sneak peak into their domestic life maybe?!? hoho
