the silence at 2am in our building is better than any performance

So I live in one of those super private luxury high-rises in Seoul. I was heading out for a late-night grocery run and saw him standing in the hallway. Just leaning against the wall, staring at the rain on the glass for like, ten minutes straight. No entourage, no mask, no manager. He looked absolutely exhausted, biting his lip like he was trying to process an entire world tour worth of noise. He didn't even notice I was there until I fumbled my keys. He just gave me a tired nod and walked back into his place. I've never seen someone look so relieved to be completely ignored.

People keep saying he's cold, but he just looks like he needs a nap and a bag of spicy snacks.

Reply to busan_boy_fan： Tteokbokki is literally his personality trait at this point lol

I recognize that posture anywhere. That's . He always hides like this when the cameras are off.

Reply to bias_wrecked88： How do you know he's like that?

He looks so sad... makes me wonder what he actually talks about when he's not performing.

If the manager knew he was out there, he'd be dragged back inside immediately. Lucky the OP got this.

Does he look like that for everyone, or is he just weird around people he doesn't know?

I live on the same floor! I've seen him just standing in the hall for ages. Does he actually live alone or is he just avoiding his own apartment?

Honestly let the man breathe. He deals with enough all day.

Wait, is this the guy from that massive idol group? He looks so much smaller when he's not on stage.
