Hello everyone, PD here!
First of all,
Thank you everyone for the support with my new direction in life. It's been difficult to accept as set life and film production was all I've ever known but the support has meant a lot to me.
I'd like to give y'all a few updates on today's comings and goings and more.
BLACKPINK CONTENT FIX
Before today's BG variety drops, I'm going to be fixing our BLACKPINK content and fix that backlog.
Once BP is finished, BG variety will all drop around 6/7pm pst.
I will also do my best to issue as many refund requests today and will definitely have more time to finish it tomorrow.
Blaire is currently out for a few weeks visiting family so I'm back to managing the system solo so please bear with me -u-
KULTURE STUDY
New KULTURE STUDY videos will drop this Thur & Fri :D and last week's KULTURE STUDIES will go live on YouTube.
Fixing Schedule Today
There's several important missing bits of information on the schedule. I'll admit I was just a nervous wreck making that December post so even though I triple checked the schedule, I still left things out from previous drafts.
I'm going over all the comments and making sure I don't forget anything.
An update on my music documentary series.
I've been working preproduction on a globe trotting documentary series where I show up on the doorstep of famous music producers from across the globe that contribute to the K-Pop culture. We dive deeper into their minds, process, and personal philosophies; while also getting a local tour of their studio & the city/country that influences them.
Dec & Jan I'll be mostly testing it out and making sample edits/cuts with LA based producers and show you all a preview as I work on figuring out the format and flow of an episode. Once we have a good flow, February, I am considering taking a month break again from Patreon (I believe I mentioned this last month).
In February/March/April (one of these three months, currently coordinating and budgeting with the rest of the team that would go) I'll spend the month possibly in Europe to speak with European producers (let's be honest mostly Swedish) and filming their segments for the documentary. Europe could change to Korea, Japan, or somewhere else in the U.S. We have already begun reaching out and a handful are interested but we've yet to get in touch with everyone. We'll be picking the first leg of our production based on efficiency of how many producers we would be able to film in one trip.
Here's to the future
In conclusion, I just wanted to thank everyone for the support. I feel like I can finally let out a sigh of relief and breathe now that I've made this decision to move towards what I really want to do.
Remember, change starts with small steps, but eventually you need to take a big leap.
My mental health was the worst it had been in maybe a decade at the start of this year. When I turned 30 I basically started going through a crisis of "holy shit I'm running out of time" but the truth is, we're all just getting started aren't we?
All this year I worked on improving my habits, my mental health, and to an extent, they worked/helped but were always only temporary fixes that did get to the underlying issue at hand--watching all this K-Pop stuff and not actively participating is bothering me.
So after many small steps, I knew I had to take a big leap and do something scary for myself if I wanted to be happy. I'm not happy per se (I'm baseline happy with my life, it's a personal happiness? if that makes sense) but I feel as thought a giant knot has been untangled from my heart. It's what the Koreans described as simply "Han".
I appreciate everyone who has been here to witness this journey and excited to move forward with you all.
I hope to make you all proud someday. I hope within this next decade you will all have a moment in your lives where your eyes widen and go "holy shit he actually did it".
I can't guarantee you'll love it. I can't even guarantee it'll be good. But I personally believe that the vision for my boy group can at least deliver some good ass music.
Here's a quick idea of the direction I'm going in:
The singers and dancer types I'm looking for? The triple J-Woos.
PARK JEONG WOO (TREASURE), KIM JUNGWOO (NCT), YOONG JONGWOO
In the future I'll share with y'all my ideas on the sonic direction I have for my group and why they're the 3 standards I'm looking for...
