Stargirl Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This was so hard, but I managed to narrow it down... DONGHAE. I want to hug his voice. Honourable mentions: Sungmin and Kyuhyun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This one goes to Zhoumi, with Kangin and Donghae as runner-ups. Unlike the last time, there's a distinct gap between first and tied for second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Siwon with Kyuhyun as a backup Kyuhyun is also like the greatest name ever And the lyrics to Oops! are. They're. They are. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 And the lyrics to Oops! are. They're. They are. Yes. oops is the greatest song super junior has ever done, tbh for me it is probably donghae with shoutouts to yesung and eunhyuk Q576: What is your world historical forte? we've all got it, that one place or one period in world history that's utterly fascinating that we can't learn enough about. spill it! what time? what place?

Nightmare Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I know a lot of history about a lot of places, but tbh it's probably my own country (Iran) that I know the most about. And the history of Islam in general I GUESS. Video game history probably doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) last question: Sungmin or Kangin or Kyuhyun this question: not really sure at all tbh what I know the most about (I read about/am interested in a lot!), but I'm definitely most fascinated by religious histories (that is to say, histories and contexts of religions and the way they shaped, and were shaped by, historical events) if you want a place, I'd go with the middle east -ish Edited June 10, 2015 by Euklyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freohr Datia Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Man idk I don't really do my own individual research and it's been a bit of a while since I learned any history in college so I've forgotten a lot by now So this is probably going to be a weird answer/category buuuuuut.... anything to do with ancient architecture anywhere in the world. I've never failed to be interested in that with anywhere I've been learning about. The temples of mesoamerica, the mounds of north america, the colosseum of rome, the pyramids of africa, the great wall of china.... I'd love to visit any ancient ruins because they'd be beautiful and interesting to me Edited June 10, 2015 by Freohr Datia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The dawn and early years of powered flight. (Up to the end of WW2) if that doesn't count, then I'll just go with ww2. I was fortunate to meet a lot of ww2 vets growing up and got to listen to stories from that war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freohr Datia Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) The Warring States Period is Japan though It..... is? Actually I'm fairly confident it's not Unless they both had warring states periods?? ok like third edit but looking into it apparently they both had "Warring States" periods so you were partly right Edited June 10, 2015 by Freohr Datia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The Warring States Period is Japan though you mean the Three Kingdoms/The Han Empire Technically both had their 'warring states' periods of political turmoil and all that good stuff, but the official name as far as I know of for the Warring States period signifies China's split after the Zhou dynasty when the ruler had split them into sections and then the fight for control was on. I don't remember Han being one of them as they got defeated early on, but they did documented the fighting that happened early on when they eventually came to power.

Original Alear Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I guess if I have to have one it's the early han dynasty, but I really am not strong in that or in any other historical setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciarre Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 World War 2 I'd say. My parents used to tell me about all the stuff they kept out of history books, like all the atrocities the Japanese people committed but how we only learn about the Nazi Occupation, and how Hirohito was never punished for his actions in the war. It was really interesting and I ended up learning a lot about it. Also just Korean history in general. Literally the only kind of kdrama I will ever watch are historical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I find that Japan is more associated with the Warring States name and the Three Kingdoms/The Han Dynasty for ChinaSo I was just clarifying When it comes to China, what people tend to call the Warring States period is a war more than a couple centuries before the Three Kingdoms Period. It ended with the victory of the Qin dynasty, the predecessor of the Han dynasty (which survived only a short time past the first emperor's reign). I'm sure that people have referred to the three kingdoms period as the warring states period in the past, but my experience suggests that these two english terms properly refer to two different points in Chinese history. I've never read a book about China's Warring States period so I know very little about it. One somewhat trivial point is that Sun Tzu served Chu during the warring states era.
