let me share with you minseok's privilege amongst tvxq, in celebration of his cm hyung's special day

"to me, [tvxq] are gods" - xiumin

1) at first, he was just an ordinary fan. here he is attending a tvxq concert back in 2012 and just!! fanboying his little heart out

2) look how excited he was that yh touched his shoulder and to learn that cm knew of his real name!

3) early into debut, ms always talked abt how much he loved tvxq. in a 2013 radio show, he mentioned that before he entered sm, he already admired tvxq. the first time he met them was during mirotic era & said that it felt tingly & heart pounding & he couldn't even say anything.

4) bc of this, he became known among tvxq fans (as well as exo fans) as tvxq's 짱팬 (bestest fan!). in an interview later on, minseok would go as far as to say that he would not have become an exo member if it weren't for tvxq.

5) then in 2014!! minseok got the chance to perform in smtown con with tvxq and cm even hugged him! (i know this thread is about minseok privilege but cm privilege to hug minseok... :( also, look at the 2nd pic, minseokie holding cm's hand :<

6) when minseok attended tvxq's concert later that year, he was already close with cm hyung he had to share that he went, of course

7) he still fanboyed very hard, of course

8) in 2015, minseok flew to japan specifically to attend a tvxq concert of course, he wore a tohoshinki jacket in the airport

9) in the tvxq concert minseok specifically flew to japan for, YH mentioned him!! and he was shown on screen for all to see did you think he'd miss the chance to show off how much he loves them? never!! look at him!

10) if that isn't enough, he went to taiwan (for smtown con) with them while!! wearing another tohoshinki jacket. that's crazy, literally only minseok can reach this level of fanboying

11) speaking of smtown con in taiwan, minseok backhugged cm and cm wrapped his arm around minseok

12) ^that in photo form lol (bonus minseok looking at cm's biceps

13) in june of 2015, cm and minseok were spotted in a convenience store near the han river. it looked like they exercised together

14) and then!! in tvxq's concert in 2015 also, minseok got to perform on the very same stage with them! he performed as a.. mackerel :D

15) later that same year, minseok had to send of his cm hyung to the military

16) it's now 2017 and minseok once again(!!) flew to japan to watch a tvxq concert! he must've missed this while cm was away >< look at him being all shy when he was mentioned and giving tvxq the biggest heart!

17) tvxq official ig account even posted about it, and that's on succesful fan minseok

18) minseok attended a suju concert with tvxq and of course he sits between them. of course and! and!! cm literally was there with yh but tvxq official ig account had to post this photo with minseok in it

19) in 2018, cm & minseok went on the same show & he got to declare his love for cm while cm was literally right there he said that on stage looked really strong while on stage but when he got to know him, he learned that he was delicate, quiet & warm.

20) in spring of 2018, tvxq and cbx promotions kinda overlapped and tvxq prepared a support food truck for cbx

21) june the same year, cbx had a concert in japan and while chen and baekhyun returned to korea immediately after, minseok stayed to watch another tvxq concert he gave them the biggest hearts again and tvxq official ig had to make 2 separate posts with minseok

22) plus! cm even posted about minseok coming to the concert on his personal ig account, crazyyy

23) random photos i found of cm liking/commenting on minseok posts

i'll post this for now because for some reason, twt won't let me add on any more posts to this thread! after this, we go to 2019 onwards!

24) early 2019, cm followed back minseok on ig

25) a little after that, minseok attended a concert with yh and look at them swinging their lightsticks!! they had the widest smiles

26) then (although this was recorded earlier) cm invited minseok to go on a trip with him cm especially speaks so softly to minseok, you can't tell me otherwise!!

27) cm found out about minseok's reaction to their year-end performance

28) cm had to listen to minseok just gushing over tvxq LMAO cm is well aware how much minseok loves him

29) hdhsdhshd cm had to kneel down and beg for extra chopsticks bc he wanted minseok to go on and eat with the one that they do have and if that isn't peak minseok privilege idk what is!!

30) minseok attended to another tvxq concert and!! yh hyung pointed at him!! yh hyung noticed him!!!! he tried so hard and got noticed

31) this is the same concert as above and look at him joining the huddle (cm literally ushered him into the circle (side note: plsssss let him be tvxq dancer idk what's stopping anyone when he is best dancer

32) finally, cm was one of the people who sent minseok off when he enlisted, just like minseok did when cm enlisted

done~

congratulations to changmin on this big day, i wish him and his wife lifelong happiness and prosperity!
