X1 and Why They Matter (#2)


(This supposed to be posted on February, but somehow I forgot to do it. I still can relate to this writing, so i decide to post it anyway).

Some of my friends asked me same questions these past 6 months.
Why X1?

Why X1 over so many boygroups out there? Why did I stan X1 anyway if I already knew they were only a temporary group? Why didn’t I just stan other permanent groups, a stable one, maybe EXO or BTS or Seventeen or Got7 or even IKON? Why X1?
Honestly, I’ve been asking the same question since the very first time I started stanning X1.
Of course because X1 was full of talented boys, but….. if I’m only talking about talent, there are so many more talented boygroups.  I mean, X1 just debuted for 5 months, they were a rookie. They did well but they also needed to improve their skill and chemistry as a group. You couldn’t compare them with any other group that has debuted before them.
If I stan a group because of their talent, maybe I wouldn’t be this worried about losing X1. Maybe I’ll just simply start stanning other talented groups or maybe I’ll just let them do solo projects and stanning each of them wherever they go. But I can’t.
It still hurts knowing they're being separated. I still can’t accept the fact that they’re currently doing solo projects or having a group project with different members. I just… desperately want them to reunite. If not as “X1”, then as “Xster” or “AX1AP” or even “X2”. And if not being called “One It” anymore, but “Priki” or whatever instead, I really don’t mind.
And I realize…..
Why X1?
It was because X1 is Han Seungwoo, Cho Seungyoun, Kim Wooseok, Kim Yohan, Lee Hangyul, Cha Junho, Son Dongpyo, Kang Minhee, Lee Eunsang, Song Hyeongjun and Nam Dohyon. It was because of all of them. They happened to be “X1”, that’s why I stan X1. If all of them debuted again in one group, even if with a different name, I absolutely would still stan them.
It was because Swoo was our leader, the one whom we considered as the most normal member but turned out to be a crackhead too, our main vocal, our beloved hyung.

It was because Uyon was our all rounder, our GAG man, our energy booster, the most crackhead among all, our composer, our woodz, our evan cho, our luizy.



It was because Useok was our unbothered visual, our cat king, our strongest member, our self-proclaimed sexy member, our boyfriend-material guy.


It was because Yohan was our center, our taekwondo boy, a rapper who sings well, our awokwokwokwok, our sweet bunny.



It was because Gyul was our main dancer, our hair stylist, our angel, the youngest among hyung line and the older among dongsaeng line, our crackhead, our annoying yet lovely boy.

(P.S. I'll give you many of Hangyul's pics because I love his visuals so much, I mean he really looks like a living art)
because














It was because Juno was our awkwardly-introverted boy, our webtoon character, our chajumma, our visual king.





It was because Pyo was our cutie pie, our beloved lil bro, our ippeo ippeo center, our “ppang ddudduddu ha” icon, our fake maknae.

It was because Mini was our Ippeo Ippeo main vocal, our blonde guy, our laziest yet smartest boy, our vanilla.



It was because Esa was our sweet boy, our kind boy, our soft-vocal specialist, our 2002 boy, our priki.



It was because Ujun was our girlgroup dance expert, our poodle, our cutie rapper, our vitamin, our lemon.

It was because Dodo was our main rapper, our big baby, our giant maknae, our mukbang fairy, our forever cute son.

It was because of all of them.
Up till now, I’m still waiting for them to reunite. I was so selfish to wish that they can re-debut with the same members, but now i realize that some members are already having their own groups and it’s likely impossible to include them to the reunite agenda. So, I’m already lowering my expectations. I’m no longer wishing them to be a full team, 8 is enough if 11 is impossible. Really.
So please, let them re-debut again! Please grant my wish! They need justice. Pleaseeeee!!!

X1 and Why They Matter (#1)

It’s been a week since the disbandment news, but it still hurts like hell.


Everyone around me kept saying “It’s just K-pop, don’t be dramatic”.
Actually, I also can’t understand my own self. I keep wondering why I’m feeling this way over that K-pop group. Some people said, “It’s just X1, if they disband, there are still a lot of K-pop groups to stan”.
K-pop won’t hurt you, they said. But here I am, crying like crazy because of it.
X1 really matters to me. And if they disband, I don’t have any reason to stay as a K-poper. X1 was the only reason why I’ve been really into Korean these past 8 months, since PDX101 era.
I keep saying such things like “X1 was there when I was sad, when I was down”. And that’s true. Some One Its (X1’s fans) also shared the same things. I have some mutuals on Twitter who shared their stories with me, saying that after years of depression, they finally have a reason to be happy, to be alive. Let’s not talk about religion this time.
I still remember that post-midnight when someone dm-ed me, she shared her story. She has been struggling her whole life because of her abusive parents. She had suicidal thoughts on her mind the whole time, she did cuttings and such things like that. “But out of sudden, a K-pop group named X1 changed my life. They lessen my depression, they make me happy for no reason. I still have this suicidal thought sometimes, but not as intense as before” She texted.
Yesterday, I watched a youtube video from ‘CTRL-Z’. 


One of them said, “I knew X1 for the first time when I was tired. Tired of everything. But finally I have a reason to smile, I find my way to ‘take a rest’ by watching X1”. Then two of them added, “We never know how big X1’s impact on a person. We can’t judge people for crying over the X1’s disbandment news”. I can’t agree more!!
X1 has been cheering everyone up.


And that’s why they shouldn’t be disbanded!


Up to this day, One Its all over the world are still fighting for X1. We demand for rebranding X1, redebuting them with different name but still with the same members. X1 is Han Seungwoo, Cho Seungyoun, Kim Wooseok, Kim Yohan, Lee Hangyul, Cha Junho, Son Dongpyo, Kang Minhee, Lee Eunsang, Song Hyeongjun and Nam Dohyon. Nothing can change that.
Korean One It has been renting 3 LED truck and moves the truck to all agencies building. International One Its have been helping with the daily project of mass streaming, donations, letters, videos, hashtags, and more.
We still fight. We’ll never give up on trying to reunite X1. There’s still hope. The members are trying hard too because in fact, they’re all still wanna be together.
Fighting everyone! We can do this!
