He seems rather standard at first, but there’s not much known about him otherwise. He’s also a bit of a weirdo and that quality of his tends to pop out when you least expect it. There’s not much known about Jaehyun other than what’s taken at face value: he’s great with kids, he lived in Connecticut for 4 years, loves horror movies, hates trot music, is one of Taeyong’s closest friends from their trainee days, and has exquisite taste in some R&B classics and deep cuts that I imagine many of his fans would blink sideways at. It’s the Beyoncé effect that most of those in the public eye can’t quite manage to successfully pull off in the age of Receipt Archaeology and privacy being a matter of price to maintain or distribute. And an actual mystery with a celebrity in this day and age is a rarity. But Jeong Jaehyun, labeled as ‘The Nation’s Valentine’ in SK, is an actual mystery. And in the era of accelerated social media where today’s news are the flyby reportage of passing trends, the ‘mystique’ of which we consider to fit the title of heartthrob is a dying art.
But we also love those whom we throw our social media feminism down the drain for when nepotism clearly plays a role or just winning the genetic lottery and setting our loins aflame.
And we love them all the more if it seems accidental. An often sharp jawed, heavy browed or fresh faced, beautiful and mysteriously tragic male saunters or stumbles into the limelight with a smile. In western culture, or our imperialist grand dame, a phenomenon occurs once roughly every 10-15 years or, these days, 5-7 because whatever happened to pop eras? But I digress, whether it’s in our general duration of a decade or a pop microsecond, an ‘It Boy’ or a ‘Heartthrob’ rises within a fandom collective. so i’m going with it.)ĪN ASTROLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF JEONG JAEHYUN but i kinda like the idea of him also having some perceptions change. They realize some of it is due to the huohan poison and all the stuff MCS went through… and that’s not something worth fixating on.(I know mcs still likes the same snacks or something like that since jingyan’s mom is making those for him. Lin Chen doesn’t say anything when MCS brings it up later. After TaiNaiNai dies, Nihuang brings MCS some tea TaiNaiNai had given her. Lin Chen snatches the tea away, retorts the latter, and then tells MCS it really doesn’t matter since he shouldn’t be drinking it anyway. Is it really due to the quality of the tea? Or the quality of his memory of being TaiNaiNai’s favorite grandchild? Lin Chen and MCS also argue about that. The quality is always good but not as good as TaiNaiNai’s. He keeps some around, makes it for Fei Liu, sneaks in a sip or two here and there. As MCS, since he’s always suffering from the cold, he is almost never allowed to have either, per Lin Chen’s orders. What does MCS want to drink? TaiNaiNai’s green tea and sheng pu. I think MCS and Lin Chen can agree drinking yancha is a good choice in the summer! (is yancha anachronistic? Yes, but hai yan already opened that door so this entire ask will be answered by anachronistic answers and i don’t care and/or am too lazy to figure out what was around during when nif was supposedly set) It’s moisturizing as the climate gets dry and is neither hot nor cold. And as oolong tend to have properties suitable for fall drinking in TCM (traditional chinese medicine). I will project my love of them onto MCS and say he loves them too! Because they’re interesting. They tend to be earthy, minerally, floral, and complex. Famous ones are rougui, shuixian, dahongpao. Yancha is a style of tea made of fairly narrowly defined cultivars.
From that combination and my tea experience, I would say he’s drinking some sort of wuyi yancha. I did a quick search in the novel for tea and Hai Yan definitely describes (in all its anachronistic glory) a Yixing teapot with tea that has some foam/suds/bubbles removed. In which case, what are they exactly? They're both 'grammar', but totally different systems. Is saying 'I am on the town' the same level of wrongness as saying 'I goed to the shops'? Intuitively we might want to say the second is a 'worse' mistake.
It's the same as the use of prepositions in English: some are obviously wrong (I don't sleep 'at my bed') but some are just weird, and for many there are multiple options ('at the weekend', 'on the weekend'). The kind of mistake you make when you use the wrong classifier intuitively seems to be on another level of 'wrongness' to the kind where you conjugate a verb in the wrong way. On the other side of things, however, if we argue that 'Chinese is as complex as Abkhaz, because it makes up for a lack of complexity in Y by all this complexity in X' (and therefore all languages = equally complex), this ignores the fact that compounding and irregular verbs belong to two very different systems.
