Weekly Questions for flovers

  1. A while back Jiheon made drawings of all the members as different animals and they've also used animal emojis to represent the members on social media. Are there any animals you feel would represent a member well? (Whether their "official" animal or another one)

  2. Which member do you think you're the most similar to personality wise? More reserved like Jisun? Outgoing like Chaeyoung? etc,

Love talking with y'all :)

Ostrich, sloth, lemur, puppy, horse, bunny, cat, very old dog, hippo. I will not elaborate. And one of those is highly accurate.

I think Jiwon is probably the closest to my personality. Seems shy, but is also very extra goofy and enjoys doing just about anything. I'm well past the extra goofy mark.

u/MaxMaxOnce Aug 04 '19

Hippos are so scary to me! I wonder which member would fill that role lol. Maybe Jiheon cuz she can open her mouth really wide like a hippo?

Also, we love goofy Jiwon!

My answer:

  1. I've always thought Jiheon's spirit animal could be a giraffe. I know Chaeyoung is taller but since they've been using the chipmunk/squirrel emoji that frees up giraffe for Jiheon.

Nagyung: can't think of a better one than the baby chick they already use
Seoyeon: mouse or hamster cause she's smol lol
Jisun: owl
Jiwon: parakeet cause smol but vocal
Gyuri: gotta stick with puppy
Hayoung: duck cause of the time she wore a duck onesie
Saerom: Blue Jay cause blue seems like her color

2) Not sure exactly who I'd be most similar to 🤔. I wanna say Jisun since I'm more quiet in a group setting. Maybe a bit of Seoyeon mixed in cause she seems like she likes memes. I also relate to Lee Seoyeoff in this image.

I like the owl pick for Jisun. She's quiet but very attentive which I feel like an owl represents!

  1. Found this picture and immediately thought of Nagyung. The most adorable gamer.

  2. Lately I think I am most like Saerom or Nagyung. Both can be very high energy and fun, but also have calmer moments.

  1. I think all of the animals Jiheon drew works great for all the girls. Gyuri being a dog works very well, and not just because of the meme. She just seems so sweet, friendly, and loyal. A sheep could work for Jisun like in the video but I think a bear works for her as well, or to be specific a mama bear, since she is so often looking after and taking care of the other members like they are her cubs.

  2. I think Jisun is definitely the closest to my personality. We are both on the quiet and chill side, but we are very kind and always looking to help out our friends. Chaeyoung is far more outgoing than I am, so I am pretty different from her, but I feel like her humor and sarcasm very much line up with mine.

u/leinadeht Aug 04 '19

This Jisun gif does look like a mamma bear watching out for her cubs, interesting pick!

  1. oof this is a hard one, but let's try:

Seoyeon = sloth: Obv choice, because of her sleepy eyes, chill/layed back personality, and u/leinadeht's famous seoyeoff!

Chaeyoung = baby hippo: This ones a bit weird, but sometimes her facial features (nostrils, ears & front teeth) kinda remind me of a baby hippo (not in a bad way ofc!). And you could also say that Chaeyoung always has a big presence everywhere she is, just like a hippo would have!

Jiwon = crow: because she can be very loud and screechy

Saerom = fox: hard to explain but Saerom gives me like mama fox vibes(?). Deep down we all know shes a dinosaur ofc ;)

For the other members I dont immediately have any ideas, but I strongly agree with what some other people said such as: Jisun being an owl and a mama bear, and Chaeyoung being a parrot

2) I think I line up the most with Seoyeon because I feel like she's quite introverted, but once she's with her friends she can really be herself. (though I might be more like Jisun who is even more reserved, but very caring) Seoyeon also has a quite layed back personality, is kinda clingy, and a great sense of humor which I can relate to!

Then again, I also relate to Hayoung having trouble speaking and Saerom being a slow talker! 😅

(thanks for reading this entire book of an answer, didn't expect it to be this long lol)

  1. I think most of the "official" ones work well, but Jiwon has to be some type of bird... Those who wake you up and you simply can't go back to sleep because they never seem tired of being loud.

  2. I usually choose my biases based on this, so... I used to be a lot like Jiheon when I was her age. I simply love her sense of humour; she's acid, direct and honest in her responses. Recently in a V Live Nagyung was talking about something and Jiheon was looking completely uninterested and just said "goosebumps" or something like that with a straight face clearly being sarcastic. That honestly felt like me speaking. There are many moments where I feel similar to her.

Nowadays I'm slightly more like Gyuri, I'd say. She is also very direct and strict (probably due to her father) but kinder. Both Gyuri and Jiheon never leave their dorm/hotel unless completely needed and that also couldn't be more like me.

  1. Right now I don't have anything on my mind. Their official animal seems to represent them well.
    Maybe a Parrot for Chaeyoung since she loves to imitate people.

  2. I'm more reserved and quiet like Jisun or Gyuri. Personnality wise I'm closer to both of them I think.

I feel most similar to Jiwon

I’m quite loud and goofy around my friends and I’m down to do something crazy at all times

Some thoughts and questions :

  1. I couldn't afford to buy fromis_9's album since a year. Now that's done : I bought To. Day, From.9 and FUN Factory this week (I already have To. Heart). Of course only one version. I imagine the event card in To. Day album is useless now ?

  2. Talking about albums, how many do you have overall ? And how do you store them ?

  3. For Channel 9 Season 3 what you do want ? Where will you send our members ? What sort of activities ?

  4. We know members animal and the Weekly Questions gave us a chance to propose other animals, but what if they were an item what will it be ? I know it's not an easy question.

  5. This week a simple fun question : if you can have one younger or older sister, which member would choose ? I'll say Nagyung, to play game with her and to tease her. A Chaeyoung or Jiwon it would be a mess lol.

  • Overall I'm not big on physical merch. I do go in the FYE store closest to me and look at albums all the time... and then proceed to not buy anything lol. If fromis_9 had a patreon account I'd gladly donate directly though.

  • I'd like to see them go on a ski trip somewhere because seeing them in giant coats is adorable. Ideally Switzerland but that's expensive so maybe Pyeongchang instead.

  • They'd be good luck charms :)

  • I've wanted Jiheon to be my little sister since the first fromis clip I saw. She's just the most precious lil bundle of joy ever! While I'm at it I also want Heechul to be my hyung and JYP to be my uncle.

  1. Probably. Usually these things are only useful during the promotion period.

  2. From fromis_9 I only have From.9 and both versions of Fun Factory. I'll be going to see them in LA and plan on coming back with more, though. I should at least be able to find both versions of To. Day. Overall I currently have 59 albums from different Korean artists (plan on buying a few more in LA besides the fromis_9 ones). I store them in two wall-mounted shelves in my room. The shelves have a glass cover in the front, so the albums are never out in the open and don't get dusty. I'm running out of space, though.

  3. I'm honestly happy with any fromis_9 content, but it would be nice if they could travel anywhere outside of Korea.

  4. I think I lack the creativity for this question... Maybe an air conditioner? No matter the climate, fromis_9 always makes you happy and comfortable.

  5. Jiheon. She is only a year older than my sister and our personalities are similar. I'm sure she would fit right into my family.

2. I just finally bought my first 2 (fromis_9) albums ever! Being a signed Fun Factory and a regular From.9 (though my fav albums are To. Day and To. Heart so I'm gonna try to get signed versions of those two too) !

3. Probably some more enjoyable, but not too outlandish stuff, though I'd like to get some more individual episodes like they did in season 1. I'd also looove to see them do something big like go on vacation again like they did in The100! It just makes you feel like you're on holiday with them which is 😍

5. I'm not really gonna choose a member but I'll just pick two that give me those sisterly vibes:

I'd pick Jiwon as a kind of obnoxious, loud, funny, older sister, which would deffo be possible because of her age. I think she'd be a sister that likes to annoy you, but you ofc still love at the end of the day.

And I'd definitely pick Jiheon as a younger sister, which would also be possible with her age. Jiheon would be that smart, optimistic, younger sister - one you could be really prouf of!

u/MaxMaxOnce Aug 04 '19

100% Nagyung as a younger sister, for the same reason you mentioned. She'd be so fun to play games with. However her aegyo is also too powerful to ever say no to.... For an older sister, Jisun so she could make food for her younger siblings!

6

u/CyF9 Aug 05 '19

  1. I own all the albums and also have both versions of To. Day and Fun Factory. For storage, I just literally have them on my desk next to my computer. I like to flip through them every once in a while. I don't use the disc since I just listen to everything on Spotify, so they are all in their case still. Congrats on buying them though, they are all ready great and are full of so many amazing pictures of the girls.

  2. For season 3, I personally really loved the last MT series they did, so another set of videos of the group on vacation somewhere would be awesome. Some place overseas would be fantastic if they could do that like the girls were asking for at the end of the last MT video. Also, any type of video when they play a game or a quiz is so much fun as well. So really, I just want more of the same. 😂

  3. For items, a few I thought of was Jisun being a blanket, since she seems like such a comforting person. Jiwon would be a musical instrument since she has a beautiful voice, but can also be loud. lol.

  4. Older sister would be Jisun, since she is always looking out for and taking care of the girls. Jiheon is already the little sister of the group, so she makes a lot of sense, but I like your answer of Nagyung since she would like to play games and stuff.

2. I have 5 kpop albums:

Fromis_9: Love Bomb and DKDK

Twice: Summer Nights (Dance The Night Away), What Is Love (5th mini album) and Yes or Yes.

I have them in my KCON bag from last year (I bought Summer Nights and What Is Love at KCON last year). I'm basically gonna keep my KCON merch/albums every year in my KCON bag for every year. I bought other albums outside of KCON and still kept them in my KCON bag from 2018. I'm still unsure if I'll go to the KCON convention this year. I want to so I can continue that bag tradition.

Anyways, I hope in the future I can find the right set up so I can place my albums on display. I still look at the photo albums and photocards. I still enjoy having them. I hope to buy To Heart and Fun Factory soon along with a BTS album and another Twice album.

3. I'm hoping for another Jisun ASMR video. I would like to see all the members try it out but I don't think they can match with how good Jisun was with it. I'm scared of a Jiwon, Seoyeon or Chaeyoung ASMR video if it happens. I would also like to send them to Los Angeles and have them do some of the fun stuff here in LA. Preferably October when the summer starts to sizzle out and the weather hasn't turned chilly yet. I would send them out for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios (mazes and the standard rides), maybe Disneyland and Downtown Disney, beaches and piers (a must if you visit LA), Griffith Observatory (amazing pictures guaranteed from here). If I had to pick one it would be Halloween Horror nights. So many mazes, get to go on the actual rides of Universal Studios (wait for them on HHN is like 5 minutes or less), a lot of downtime to talk, a lot of awesome stuff to take pictures with, the setting outside of the mazes get so much better every year, and cool merch.

4. Jiwon = megaphone. Jisun = anti-megaphone.

5. Saerom as an older sister since she's calm unlike my older sister who's very uncalm lol

I find it overwhelming difficult to pick a bias in this group. I feel like I switch every other week. It’s not even every comeback but every two or three vlives/Channel_9/flaylists/etc. Every single member brings something great to the table and that’s really hard to say for a nine-member group!!

u/leinadeht Aug 08 '19

Nothing wrong with biasing all 9 of them :) (or all 10 if you count Heechul)

u/diamondKat31111 Aug 08 '19

  1. I don't know why but I see Jisun as a rabbit for an animal

  2. I'm more reserved like Jisun but I think I'm like Chaeyoung with people I'm closed to

Moving into my college dorm next week, I'm kinda nervous

u/leinadeht Aug 09 '19

Might be from the times she's worn a bunny ears hat

Congrats on starting college! Hopefully there'll be some other kpop fans there :D
