SUNGSEOK LORE

Pre-debut to boys planet:

  • they met in cube and trained together (the assumption is that they only overlapped for a maximum of 5 months but we're not really sure how long they were there together)
  • hanbin's first impression of matthew is that he was muscular but he's very cute. it was only when matthew called him "hyong~" that hanbin realized that matthew was younger skskgk
  • matthew's first monthly evaluation song was "dance" by jimmy brown and hanbin said he listens to it when he feels lonely... they also did a song cover that hanbin posted on bubble in september last year! (link: https://x.com/seokuririn/status/1703262695351271790)
  • they were roommates (oh my god they were roommates...)
  • they did a lot of things together when they were trainees - sneaked out in the middle of the night to eat chicken, went on drives, went stargazing, went on dates @ hongdae
  • when hanbin left cube, he gave matthew a letter in english (he translated using papago) where hanbin said he's sorry they couldn't debut together, and matthew still keeps that letter in his wallet to this day
  • they took some dance classes together at just jerk. hanbin had a video of him with matthew behind him pinned in his personal instagram account (this video: https://x.com/smilemisu9/status/1643797836495220737)
  • when matthew wanted to go back home to canada, hanbin took him to a cafe to try to convince him to stay and try auditioning to boys planet with him (one last time, hanbin says). here are the things hanbin did to convince matthew: 1. he bought him food, 2. he showed matthew videos of his performances and told him that he can definitely do it. bc one thing you should do to someone you've only known for a year is to ask them to stay despite everything being uncertain skdkskfd. the good news is: matthew trusted hanbin and look where they are now <3
  • on october 16, 2022, hanbin took matthew to his hometown (cheonan). they fed birds at sapgyoho and took a 4cut hehe (https://x.com/mttbnz/status/1846359949477401087)
  • they were selected as shiny boys for bp (along with gyuvin and ma jingxiang) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8BDQUcM1-o
  • on episode 1 of boys planet: hanbin said in his interview that he and matthew has a "meaningful relationship".. whatever that means
  • also on episode 1, hanbin cried while watching matthew's star level test (when i saw this i Knew i was LOCKED IN. also it didn't make sense to me at the time why he would cry - he only said that watching matthew dance and look so happy made him emotional - but when he revealed that HE was the one who brought matthew here, HE was the one who convinced him to stay, it all made sense)
  • on january 29, 2023, they went to a jewelry workshop and had custom engraved matching rings that they both wore in bp (3rd and 4th pic). fun fact: hanbin posted the draft of the drawings (3rd pic) engraved on their rings without context like he just assumed everyone knows what it means 😭😭
  • (some time in february 2023?) hanbin went on a solo trip to jeju, but before that he met up with matthew - they took the legendary 4cut and they were wearing their matching rings!!!!!!!! See 4th frame where they were showing them off by pretending to put on lip balm except matt was holding the cap lmfao
  • jongwoo said in a bp interview: “K-Group’s Seok matthew is Sung hanbin, and G-Group’s Sung hanbin is Seok matthew” which just tells me that they’re equals in terms of skill
  • some extra bp contents: matthew vs hanbin staring contest where matthew loses but he said he can 100% make hanbin lose by saying that his mom is the best ㅠㅠㅠ // pedometer contest where they wore their matching brown AF1s <3

  • in an extra bp content called planet quiz show, hanbin unknowingly picked a question about matthew. Before he was told what the question was, he was asked what he wants to say to matthew and he did matthew’s greeting (ily iwy smt) which was THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION (https://x.com/timetohanbin/status/1770828234281595343) // things to note: everyone there reacted like this is a really easy question for hanbin to answer and he SHOULD know the answer bc it’s about matthew; after hanbin “answered”, everyone was cheering for them and you can hear seongmin in the background saying “GET MARRIED!!”; this is a bit tinhat but if you think abt junhyeon asking “what do you want to say to matthew”, hanbin said I LOVE YOU, I WANT YOU and, well
 WELL!??!?
  • other mattbin things that happened in bp: during their signal song practice, choi youngjoon had the k-group and g-group do a little one on one competition of some sort and he chose hanbin and matthew to go against each other, hanbin called matthew his “rival”, they were p01 and p02 for the first eliminations, they were in the same group for the first time with say my name
  • hanbin’s friends told the viewers to vote for matthew as well!
  • matthew’s uncle went to hanbin’s mom’s cafe to give away cheesecakes and coffee bread
  • these bp finale moments at the podium cries buckets

Post-debut and other stuff (not in chronological order)

  • Aside from the matching rings, they also have A TON of matching items - jackets, cardigans, pants, shoes, hats, etc
  • matthew said in a fansign that the members who give the best hugs are hanbin and gunwook. In a later fancall, matthew said that hanbin’s hugs feel like he’s being protected đŸ«‚ (in a recent fansign, matthew answered hanbin as the one he wants to be protected by)
  • September 12, 2023 - they were together the whole day just dancing together, doing a cover of dance by jimmy brown, filming their click like challenge
