Well.... technically, it is not his birthday anymore in South Korea, but it still is in my timezone.
I remember that before I became an ATINY, I saw a VLIVE clip of Hongjoong sharing a playlist and "My Love" by Westlife was in that playlist. I have loved "My Love" since I was a child. And when he was singing along to that song, I was being slightly heads over heels over him.
And I also remember when I noticed that Hongjoong wore nail polish on only one finger. I wondered if it was just him trying to be fashionable, but then I found out the real reason, which is related to Polished Man. ( Well... as the Polished Man website says: "Polished Man is a powerful movement dedicated to ending violence against women and children.")
And let me show you this old tweet that is kinda related to that:
And then there is also this:
I like the fact that he wrote "Thank U" about Seonghwa.
And also thinking about when Seonghwa was going through grief and Hongjoong bought a LEGO set for him to make him feel better.
Despite being a rapper, I think he is a good singer.
Example given; I like his part in Star 1117.
And I also like the "BY. HONGJOONG" covers that he has made.
and today he posted a cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" and I think it is a nice cover.
Happy Birthday Hongjoong
