Ley´s Release Corner April´22 - Boys Edition (1/2)

DISCLAIMER: This is all my personal opinion and most of the impressions are after first listening. So please keep in mind that my opinion can change and that I respect other opinions too. My rating is just based on how I like the song and has nothing to do with hate or anything else against an Artist. When I don't like a song it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the work and effort that are put into it.

Masterlist

Feel free to let me know what you think of the releases and now let's dive into Kpop:

Title: Grey Suit

Album: Grey Suit - The 2nd Mini Album (EP)

Artist: SUHO (EXO)

Release: 2022.04.04

youtube

This song feels so melancholic and the MV underlines it very well. It´s a beautiful ballade but for me it´s a little bit too boring. Lyrically it´s about the feeling of how the world feels grey without someone and that you wait for that person to come into your life to bring the colors, which are very very beautiful.

"Morning Star" first felt like an intro because we got 40 sec without his voice but then he starts to sing and the song feels really like a new beginning of a day and it´s kinda hard to describe it otherwise. Next is "Hurdle" which was supposed to be the second title track and to be honest I would have loved it more. "Decanting" is very vibey while "Bear Hug" showcases his beautiful vocals in a powerful ballad. Lastly "Moment" ends with the first song I actually liked although it´s a ballade again. I like his vocals but the songs are all a little bit too slow for me.

Rating: 6,5/10 for Grey Suit (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Lyrics: 7,5/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 6/10)

Rating: 6/10 for the EP because it´s sadly not my type of music but it has solid songs

Title: Still Life

Album: Still Life (Single)

Artist: BIGBANG

Release: 2022.04.05

youtube

This is definitely one good ballad and especially with the background it´s very beautiful and feels very special. It´s like coming home after a long time but despite this it´s still a ballad that isn´t powerful enough for me to get a really high rating. The MV is very fitting and I really like it.

Rating: 7/10 for (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 8/10; Rap: 8/10; Lyrics: 7/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

Title: X-RAY

Album: ARCADE:V (EP)

Artsit: GHOST9

Release: 2022.04.07

youtube

X-Ray is a 4th gen song like it´s normal these days. It´s pretty solid and I kinda like it but it didn´t amaze me that much but it might be a grower.

"Dot" is a good intro I would have liked as a full song. "CHAMPION" is a pretty solid song that comes with a nice encouraging upbeating sound. "T.Y.T (Take You There)" made so much fun to listen to it because it feels kinda comforting but in a happy way while "Always, All ways" manage to deliver that same feeling but just a little bit different. Lastly "Stranger" also is a solid song I enjoyed a lot because it has a happy carefree sound.

Rating: 7/10 for X-Ray (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 7/10; Lyrics: 7/10; Choreography: 7,5/10; MV: 7/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

Rating: 8/10 for ARCADE: V because I liked all songs and I really need this happy dosis latlely

Title: Save Me

Album: Save Me (Single)

Artist: Mark Tuan (GOT 7)

Release: 2022.04.07

youtube

What would are these reviews without a single from him? "save me" follows the vibes of the other two singles (review here & here) he released this year and also the other songs from 2021. Again it´s an all-English song I really enjoyed because I like the vibe of it and also the lyrics are relatable but I think I kinda get used to it now.

Rating: 7/10 for save me (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Lyrics: 7/10; MV: 5,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)

Title: Anthem of Teen Spirit

Album: 3rd EP Album Prlude of Anxiety Chapter 1. ´21st Century Boys´ (EP)

Artist: EPEX

Release: 2022.04.11

youtube

"Anthem of Teen Spirit" really hits hard from the start with a strong and dark vibe and a kinda hip hop like sound and I really liked this song BUT sadly the songwriters and/or company (I don´t want to blame the group because they´re still kids) did them so dirty with the lyrics referring to "crystal night" which isn´t okay and a very sensitive topic and whoever thought this is a good idea should have known better. I really hate this cancel culture and maybe I'm just too sensitive right now but I'm not in the place to decide whether the apology we got is enough or not. Like it's based on a novel so is it okay or is it still too controversial? At least they changed the lyrics too but the whole theme is kinda offending and I can't stop ranting about this although I don´t think this is the right place to discuss it.

"Lone Wolf" is a good start into the album and could be the little slower but darker brother of SKZ´s "Wolfgang" (Mainly because of the barking). "Burnout" and "STRIKE" continue with the dark vibe while "I´ll go first" is more emotional.

Rating: -/10 for (Instrumental: /10; Vocals: /10; Rap: /10; Lyrics: /10; Choreography: /10; MV: /10; Overall Vibes: /10)

I wish I could rate this album but it leaves a bitter taste because it would have get a very high rating but yeah

Title: DICE

Album: DICE - The 2nd Mini Album (EP)

Artist: Onew (SHINee)

Release: 2022.04.11

youtube

The MV is pretty fun to watch like what did I even see there? The song show his beautiful vocals but it´s just okayish for me because I don´t like the sound of the instrumentation of it.

"Sunshine" has somehow disco vibes but in a strange chill way and "On the way" has a very unique style too. "Love Phobia" has more chill vibes I kinda like and it also shows his vocals very well. "Yeowoobi" is more on the sentimental side and lastly "In the whale" comes with a retro sound. Overall I like that the songs all have an unique touch and don´t sound like everything else and I think it´s a perfect album for my chill playlist but not for my daily one.

Rating: 6/10 for DICE (Instrumental: 5/10; Vocals: 8/10; Lyrics: 6/10; Choreography: 7/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 6,5/10)

Rating: 6/10 for the EP because even when they all solid and good songs sadly they didn´t click with me

Title: Cupid

Album: DKZ 6th Single Album ´CHASE EPISODE 2. MAUM´ (Single)

Artist: DKZ

Release: 2022.04.12

youtube

this puts you in such a good mood like the MV is just so enjoying and the upbeating happy sound just adds to it. It´s not a never-seen masterpiece but it´s definitely fun. The lyrics are about falling in love and it really shows the feelings you get when someone just stole your heart (in the good way)

Rating: 7/10 for (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 6/10; Lyrics: 7/10; Choreography: 6,5/10; MV: 7/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

Title: RE=LOAD

Album: JUST BEGUN (EP)

Artist: JUST B

Release: 2022.04.14

youtube

I like the Matrix Aesthetics I get from this MV and even from the lyrics. The song is pretty solid but I think it needs a unique touch to spice it a little bit up.

"DASH!" is a good start for this album with its strong vibe. "Make It New" funnily doesn´t feel new at all and reminds me of another song but I couldn´t figure out which one yet but I think it was an MX one. "Don´t Go Back" is pretty good and lastly "Lights On" is on the soft side and feels very comforting.

Rating: 7/10 for RE=LOAD (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 7,5/10; Lyrics: 7,5/10; Choreography: 7,5/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

Rating: 7/10 for JUST BEGUN because it overall feels like an average 4th gen EP and it need something to make it their own to get a higher rating

Title: Love Theory

Album: Love Theory - SM STATION (EP)

Artist: TAEYONG (NCT), Wonstein

Release: 2022.04.14

youtube

This is a very vibey song about falling in love. The MV is fun and a little bit disturbing. For my personal liking the song is a little bit too slow to really really love it but I like the vibe of it and I think this will be definitely a grower.

Rating: 7/10 for Love Theory (Instrumental: 6/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 8/10; Lyrics: 6/10; MV: 6/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

Title: LA LA POP!

Album: LA LA POP!(Single)

Artist: HA SUNG WOON

Release: 2022.04.14

youtube

Okay I actually love this so much. It´s another Universe Song where the MV is released in the App and then later on Youtube but anyways this MV put me in such a good mood and the song just adds so much to it I instantly fall in love with this and his voice so I had to check out his other stuff and let me say I´m hooked.

Rating: 7,5/10 for LA LA POP! (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7,5/10; Choreography: 7/10; MV: 7/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)

son hyuk ( 2011 ) ୨୧ hyuk is the brother of cheri’s close friend and dancer hyesu. hyesu introduced the two when cheri was a trainee and hyuk really liked her. they dated for only a few months and are on good terms.

public : no

im sooyun ( 2014 ) ୨୧ this was a really bad situationship if we’re being honest. they had trained together and were pretty good friends. cheri realized that she might like girls but it was risky being an idol and all. sooyun wanted cheri to commit to the relationship but she couldn’t because A.) she wasn’t 100% sure if she liked girls and B.) what if people found out and ruined her career. it was only for a few months and sooyun dropped her afterwards which broke cheri’s heart.

public : no

exo’s baekhyun ( 2016 - 2018 ) ୨୧ cheri had the biggest, fattest crush on baekhyun and was a massive exo-l during her debut days and now you will not catch her even listening to exo. she had the opportunity of the lifetime MCing with him and suho at inkigayo in 2014 and they remained friends. in 2016, they released a collaboration which sparked rumors immediately. the two were incapable of staying away from each other. they officially started dating in april 2016 and were quite literally the least inconspicuous couple ever.

they continued to release duets which basically gave ARMY and EXO-Ls all the confirmation they needed about the relationship and was also the perfect opportunity for both fandoms to slut-shame her. they were so very in love and wanted to be able to tell everyone. unfortunately, time and personal issues got in the way and they broke up in april 2018.

public : kinda, sorta, yes

seventeen’s joshua ( 2018 - current ) ୨୧ cheri believes that this man was sent to her by god himself. they met in 2015 during ‘run’ promotions and seventeen had just debuted. she has never told anyone how they met (she fell asleep in their green room and joshua found her.) cheri fell in love immediately, yet they remained incredibly good friends for years.

joshua was always there when cheri needed someone to talk to and her members were busy. he would take her to her therapy and other various appointments then hang out with her and her mom. at that point, they still were not dating, but cheri’s mom finally encouraged them to make it official. joshua is cheri’s everything. she truly doesn’t know what she did to deserve him.

public : yes. they are the most annoying (with affection) couple ever

Build Up Ep 1, Part 1

Hello and welcome to my latest project -- recapping Build Up: Vocal Boy Survival from MNET. The show features some familiar faves from Boys Planet -- Jay, Wumuti, and Hwanhee -- as well as members of CIX, Just B, Up10tion, KNK, Newkidd, Ab6ix, Vanner, A.C.E. Fave1, BDC, IMFACT, M.O.N.T., WEi, and Pentagon. Don’t worry, it’s not Hui this time! I already wrote some posts in which I introduce you to the 40 participating contestants, divided up by their chosen category: Allround, Soul, Power, and Unique. Now, I’ll start actually recapping Episode One. Come join me, won’t you?

It's tough to find a video link for the full show, and the one that seems most stable doesn't have English subtitles, so I'm going to try my best to write the recaps in such a way that even if you can't see the show yourself, or if the feed you have doesn't have subtitles, you'll be able to understand what's going on.

We begin with a woman playing with little glowing metal bricks. You know, as you do.

Also, those ombre nails kind of slap.

The woman is our MC, Lee Dahee, who you might recognize (or might not) as one of the hosts of Road to Kingdom. I know her because she played the female second lead in one of my top five K-dramas of all time, I Can Hear Your Voice. (It’s not about singing -- it’s a courtroom drama/noona romance about telepathy and revenge. You guys, if you need a kdrama to watch, just watch this one, ok? Ok thanks.) She’s stunningly beautiful in that show.

She looks… different now, I guess I’ll say.

I wish that there wasn’t so much plastic surgery pushed in this business, because I genuinely wouldn’t recognize her, and I’ve watched that drama all the way through at least three times. Anyway.

She begins to speak, and we hear snippets of various singers as she does. The snippets that we’re hearing are the 40 brief performances that were uploaded to Youtube to tease the show.

She says, “There are various voices in this world. Unique voice: A voice that is a genre itself. Soul voice: Voice that moves people with its unique sentiment. Power voice: A voice that solidifies its presence. All ‘round voice: A voice that can harmonize with anything. When they come together and gain chemistry, a new harmony is created.”

I can’t help but think of Exo. Baekyhun has a unique voice; D.O. has a soulful voice; Chen has a powerful voice, and Suho has a sweet all ‘round voice. Hey, what do you know - the lady is right! It does create a new harmony!

She explains that they’ve gathered together 40 vocalists for this show, looking for the best combination. It’s a bit of a Queendom Puzzle vibe, but vocal based. And out of the 40, we’ll be picking four.

We hear from some of these 40 vocalists, speaking over each other, their faces hidden in shadow. We’re going to have to go with these MNET subtitles, that say things like “Catharsis is created when voices are stacked, especially when there are four.” I think it is supposed to mean, “A four part harmony can really bring out the emotions of a song.”

It’s an MNET show, so it begins with some of the contestants walking in and commenting on how big and cool the set is. They think it looks like the Colosseum, which, meh, not so much but I mean, ok.

We can’t know who they are yet. It’s dark in the studio and they can’t even see each other. They still bow and greet each other politely, chatting about how nervous and excited they are as they take their spots on their… I don’t know, transporter pads. Beam them up, Dahee!

They’re walking in in small groups, made up of members of the same “category”, and their name tags are color coded to their category: unique is green, soul is blue, power is purple, and allround is orange.

Left to right: Bain, Jay, Jung Soomin

I love this Korean thing of just shouting at each other, “You’re good looking!” Even in the dark.

Eagle eyed (and owl-eared) Boys Planet fans probably recognize this guy:

It’s Jay Chang, from Boys Planet! As I said in my other recaps, I love Jay's vocal color, which is clean and lovely, and though I think he could work on his technique, he's definitely a great singer. He also seems like basically a nice guy, though he gives off slight fuckboi vibes to me. Is it just me?

Hong Seongjun (former BDC), in the white jacket that makes him look like a waiter, recognizes his neighbor in the brown jacket as Seunghun from CIX. Hong Seongjun says, “excuse me… aren’t you from CIX?” Seunghun bows to acknowledge it, and Hong Seongjun says, “But you’re way too famous,” ie, to be on this show, and Seunghun says, “no, I’m not, I’m really not.”

Another group enters, led by a mop of light colored hair that I think belongs to Geonu, also known as Lee Geonwoo from JustB, who you may have seen on I-land.

Some more people come in, and one of the trainees -- this red haired fellow, my darling Bain -- says “oh my God! Sunbaenim!”

That hangul there says “oh my God” phonetically.

My darling Bain, also member of Just B , has recognized Jeon Woong from Ab6ix. I don't have any data on where they would have met, but they probably have a lot of friends in common at the very least. I think a lot of idols know a lot of other idols since they all train together at different agencies and go on these reality shows together all the time.

People are surprised that Woong and Seunghun are on the show, but not as surprised as they are to see Yeo One from Pentagon, who enters to the strains of Pentagon’s biggest hit, Shine. One of the other guys says, “It was so dark, but he was so handsome that I could see his silhouette.” I think the translation is a little wonky here, but I love the idea that if someone is really handsome, you can see them better in the dark.

My darling Bain says to Jay, “I’m shocked to see such big players.” Jay replies, in English, “Big time players make big time plays,” and do you see what I mean about the fuckboi-ness? Even if you like him, you have to admit that’s a bit cringey. Sigh. Jay, honey, why'ya gotta say things like that?

Jung Soomin replies, in English, “I’m a small time player. I just started!” Soomin is American, specifically from Chicago, and I guess his head was cold that day.

They’re all present now, each one standing on his own transporter pod bay. Oh, MNET.

They all applaud in excitement for the beginning of the show, and my darling Bain interviews, “Welcome to Survival!”

The lights come up in the studio and now the boys can see each other. So now it’s time for them to react to how handsome and famous they all are.

Yoon Inhwan in his gray suit interviews, “When I looked around, I thought I was in trouble. Everyone was too handsome.” Look at all the handsome fellas, including Kim Minseo, in blue, and a bunch of idols, including Seokhwa from WEi, and two members of Just B: my red-haired darling Bain, and pink-mop-headed Geonu.

Just FYI: I’m going to keep calling Bain my darling, because I listened to his stunning cover of Driver’s License by Olivia Rodrigo and now you know I still love him, baby. I talk more about it in my episode zero recap.

Hilariously, our old friend Lee Hwanhee (from Boys Planet) says he’s intimidated by the other guys. Hwanhee is always a little insecure, isn’t he? I think he’s had a lot of setbacks as an idol, and it’s wearing on him.

Neon, in green, tells his neighbor Hong Sungwon in the half gray, half white sweater that he feels defeated in terms of looks. Aww, you’re fine, Neon! I think you have a cute smile.

Seokhwa from WEi voice-overs that he’ll dominate with music, not looks, and this fellow on the left…

… says, “this is about voices, right?” He is Park Jeup, from IMFACT, who is also a solo artist. I just have to say, omg, his bow. That is a full on pussy bow, you guys. That square, lantern jaw juxtaposed against that bow is a sight to see and I am here for it. (The guy on the right, wearing the red suit, is Hyukjin, from a nugu group called Fave1.)

Everyone’s excited to hear each other’s voices.

Sunyoul (in the pink sweater) from Up10tion, same group as Hwanhee, is looking around the room and sizing up the other people, wondering if he can tell who is or isn’t a good singer based on their looks.

Then there’s a bit where a few people notice Jay. Kim Minseo, in blue, who sang Rolling in the Deep, kicks things off. He interviews that he was wondering if Jay would be there. Guess he watched Boys Planet too! Or Under 19, perhaps.

There’s this cute moment, where Hwanhee points Jay out to his neighbor, Seunghun from CIX.

Hwanhee is like, “That guy over there with his hands in his pockets? He’s really good.” I bet that Hwanhee and Seunghun have met before, since they both have been in the game for several years. Hwanhee is a year older than Seunghun and debuted around four years before him, so he's both hyung and sunbae to his nervous neighbor.

Then there’s a mini montage of them all recognizing each other -- Hyukjin noticing Jay, Hwanhee noticing Hyukjin, Bain noticing Hyukjin and pussy-bow Park Jeup. Hwanhee says that they’re “vocal monsters.” Hey, man, so are you! Where is your confidence, my friend?

But a lot of the contestants are intimidated by each other.

Suddenly…the lights go down again! And to make it even scarier, the subtitles punk out for a few minutes! This happens at about 6 minutes into the episode. So, let me give my google translate a real workout until the subtitles come back. Here we go.

A fanfare of glittering light heralds the entrance of MC Lee Dahee. The boys freak out. On screen, it says, “IS THIS TRUE?” as the trainees all stare open mouthed.

The camera does a full pan up her legs to her body, and on the Bilibili site -- now sadly denied to us all -- something in Chinese scrolls across the top, which my phone translated as “The English subtitle is so tiring.” I know that’s not quite what it meant, but I love it.

As Wumuti stares, open mouthed, it says “LIke a goddess!”

Someone says, “Is this true? Isn’t this AI?”

“She’s a celebrity!" “Wow, she’s so pretty.”

As Hyukjin -- wearing that red leather suit jacket -- looks on, it says “Angel’s Descent.”

Hwang Inhyuk in his ombre pink sweater says “It’s a good thing you came out.”

Dahwee says, “Hello!” and they all say hello back. “I will go on this journey with all of you. I am the MC, Lee Dahwee.”

On screen, as they all frantically bow, it says “Thank you very much <3 “

As our old friend Hwanhee gives the thumbs up, it says “Best MC-nim.”

I’ll give a sort of interpretation of the on-screen words’ translation since they don’t make a ton of sense. Basically, she’s telling them what’s going to happen next. There’s 40 of them and, through various musical missions, they’ll build a 4-member team. At the end, only one team will be selected to debut. This group will be an opportunity for the whole world to enjoy a kpop group with proven vocals.

Choi Suhwan in the black jacket over a white shirt and with parted bangs, says, “Ah… only 4…”

This is Bitseon (from M.O.N.T.), on the left, and Taehwan (from Vanner) on the right. One of them is voice-overing, “I’m sure there will be a big fight over the song.”

Lim Junhyeok, wearing a white hoodie that I guess he picked off the top of his laundry pile, voice overs, “there are many people who are good at singing.” Junhyeok was kicked out of Day6 after only being in it for six months -- I talk about it in my episode zero recap.

Donghun from A.C.E. is wondering what songs they’ll sing, I think. As I was writing these recaps, it was always so funny to me that Donghun is from ACE, because based on the way he’s dressed and his demeanor, he looks like he’s a detective in a noir movie who just got off shift and is about to order a whiskey at the bar. I hope you don't mind if I call him Detective Donghun in honor of that.

Dahee goes on that there are 40 participants, who chose what voice color represents them.

And right around here the subtitles come back, bless ‘em!

Yoonseo in the red and black leather jacket says, “Allround voices go well with many genres,” and we see a few of the various Allrounders.

Next, we take a look at the Soul singers:

Then the Power singers:

And finally, Unique.

The weird LED stage they're standing on turns into a pie chart showing the breakdown of the categories, and that is delightful.

Then, Dahee announces that they’re going to dive into their first major mission: Voice Check. “You’ll listen to voice files,” Dahee says, referring to the teaser songs we already heard. “If you want to build up with that voice, press the button.”

So this is a bit like the beginning of Queendom Puzzle, when the girls each performed for the others one at a time, and they all voted on whether each girl was good or not, essentially. Here, though, the boys are deciding who they want to work with in their teams of four. They’re choosing solely by the voice -- no looks, no sympathy.

It’s worth noting that them wanting to work with someone isn’t necessarily equivalent to thinking someone is good singer. They’ll be looking for people who they think their voices would harmonize well with. Regardless, Dahee explains that “the outcome of the evaluation will impact your first mission greatly, so make careful choices.”

The boys are nervous -- what if someone gets zero votes?!?

We see some staff members scurrying around giving them all some really uncomfortable looking plastic stools to perch on.

And as they’re settling in, Lim Junhyeok (former Day6) turns to his neighbor, Woong (AB6IX), and says, “Your name is Woong, right?”

“That’s right,” says Woong.

“I knew you when you were at JYP,” Junhyeok says, putting his hand on Woong’s shoulder.

Woong immediately gets really excited, jumping out of his chair. “Wait, you were at JYP?! When were you a trainee?”

“Day6,” Junhyeok says, simply.

“HYUNG!!!” Woong says, recognizing his old friend and giving him a hug.

Filmed on MNET's very finest Idaho russet.

Aww! This is exactly the stuff I watch shows like this for. FRIENDSHIP IS THE BEST SHIP, you guys.

They’re all asking each other what songs they sang, and from what we see, no one is telling anyone. Soomin, our friend from Chicago, asks Jay “Whad’ja’sing, whad’ja’sing?” They’ve got that English speaking connection. Jay, who is definitely feeling his oats, says “It’s part of the surprise.”

Meanwhile, Hwanhee cannot take his eyes off the MC, Dahee. He’s like, this show is scary and I never do well on the 8 million survival shows I keep forcing myself to go on, but this gorgeous emcee is making it all worth it. I am going to use this as an opportunity to stare at her as much as possible before an actual bodyguard appears to drag me away. She’s 38 to his 25, but I believe in the power of love, don’t you?

They’re all nervous, especially CIX's Seunghun, who busies himself staring at the floor. Yeo One voiceovers, “How many of these people will like me just from hearing my voice?” Aww. As we'll see, that is Yeo One's major storyline -- he is used to being a good looking backup dancer in Pentagon, and wants people to actually like his singing voice.

Ma Jaekyung, in his too-big-for-him gray blazer, asks KNK's Inseong if he’s nervous. CIX’s Seunghun says his heart is beating like crazy. Taewoo wonders who the first one up will be.

The first song that plays -- at least, the first song we hear play -- is V02. Jaekyung and Inseong both recognize the song immediately and look at each other and say “Baby Baby!” in unison, almost like it was an improv exercise.

Everyone recognizes the song -- we even see Dahee mouthing along -- and those of us who watched Boys Planet probably recognize the voice: Jay.

The editors do this cute thing where they superimpose the image on the floor, but I really don’t think it was shown live.

I have to wonder if Wumuti at least recognized the voice? This is his third reality show in a row with Jay! But all we see is him saying, “well done.”

Everyone seems to really like the performance. It is really good, naturally, though it wasn't completely perfect. (See my episode zero recaps for more info on what I thought of each performance. And please don’t get mad at me!) A lot of people are pressing the button to indicate that they’d like to perform with Jay. Can't blame them at all.

Hong Seongjun from BDC interviews, “He has a trendy singing style. He’d make up for what I lack.”

Everyone wants to know who the voice belongs to, but first, they’re going to reveal the votes, reveal the votes, reveal the votes, reveal the votes! The guys immediately realize that this will be their fate -- to have their vote talley revealed in front of everyone! Someone says, “oh no, this is like a public execution.”

The vote is revealed: 23 people voted that they’d like to work with V02 (Jay). Those who voted for him are surprised that only 23 voted for him out of 39, when to them, the voice seemed so good. Are people just way too strict? No.

Kang Hayoon explains that he thought about voting for the voice, because it was amazing, but he didn’t think that it would harmonize with his. (Spoiler alert: I think he's right.) I think a few others had a similar thought. I’m pretty sure if the vote was “did you like this?” everyone would get 39 out of 39. Well... most people.

Of course, this voting criteria is a bit of a problem, because the show is using this voting system as a way to rank the contestants by quality, and yet the metric they're using isn't necessarily identical to the issue of quality. I guess it's better than voting whether the person is "better" or "worse" than you, like the girls had to do on Queendom Puzzle.

Dahee reveals that the voice belonged to Jay , and Hwanhee’s neighbor, Seunghun from CIX, gestures as if to say, yep, you got that. Looks like Hwanhee at least recognized Jay’s voice!

Jay voiceovers that he was on an idol survival show (we see clips from Boys Planet) but didn’t get many chances to show his vocal skills. I mean, he did, but people just hated him for being foreign, mainly. Or for whatever random reason, IDK. Here at least people appreciate him -- his neighbors tell him he did a great job.

Next up: V16, End of the Sea by Choi Baekho, as performed by musical actor Kim Seongjeong, the one in the tan jacket and striped tie. It’s a lovely performance, if not exactly to my personal taste, and everyone immediately reacts to his deep, rich tone. It’s a “real voice” that “fills the studio.”

Seongjeong gets 25 votes, again, not an indictment one way or another on his quality.

After that deep voice and sentimental performance, everyone is really surprised when he gets up and says he’s going to dance. He dances a bit while people clap, then unexpectedly just launches himself into the air with an amazing spinning leap.

When he's done, he bows and says: “Dance, physique, and song. I’m the new actor, Kim Seongjeong.”

Dahee asks him if anyone has ever told him that he looks like well known actor Kim Woobin, and I guess I kind of see it. Seongjeong interviews, “Where do I look like him, exactly? What part of my face? My eyes? Is it because I look like a dinosaur?” and he offers us a huge grin that completely transforms his face. Aww!

What a cutey.

Ok, in honor of his jump spin, and the fact that he said he looks like a dinosaur, I’m going to call him the “leaping lizard.” But I don’t mean that in a mean way. Like I said, I think he’s got a great smile! I like him. 😀 This is just to remember who I’m talking about. Cool? Cool.

Alright, I've used up my allotment of 30 pictures, so it's time to wrap up this segment of the recap.

And just as a note, the first 30-45 minutes of one of these shows are always really, really slow going for me as I get to know who is who. I have to do research, read Korean name tags, etc, etc, and it takes forever. I'm not going to promise to catch up to the show, but I hope to at least gain on it a little.

Thanks for following me on this ride! I'll see you in the next one!

"hello! i am incredibly interested in joining your roleplay, it looks so well thought out and like a wonderful place to write. i was wondering if there are any faces you or any of the members would like to see. male/female, i'm open to many!"

Hello, and thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate them so much and can't wait to have you here with us! 🥰 As far as faces we'd like to see, I want to start by saying that we encourage everyone to build a muse that inspires them first and foremost, then land on the face-claim that best represents them! However, if you need some ideas to kick-start the process, here are a few that come to mind that we, the admins, would love to have around:

Meret Manon Bannerman (of KATSEYE, b. 2001), Cho Yihyun (actor, b. 1999), Charles Melton (actor, b. 1991), Tu Tontawan Tantivejakul (actor, b. 2000), Lee Dohyun (actor, b. 1995), Mun Kayoung (actor, b. 1996), Yamazaki Kento (actor, b. 1994), Kim Junmyeon (Suho of EXO, b. 1991), Archie Madekwe (actor, b. 1995), Lola Tung (actor, b. 2002), Timothée Chalamet (actor, b. 1995), Jenna Ortega (actor, b. 2002), Go Younjung (actor, b. 1996), Park Solomon (actor, b. 1999), Yara Shahidi (actor, b. 2000), Asaya Jurin (of XG, b. 2002), and Kim Dongyoung (Doyoung of NCT, b. 1996)!

Refusing to Forget "The Reasons Why I Shipped Toi Kuji x Kazuki Yasaka" Part 2

Source: from my Twitter thread 2. I am rewriting again to celebrate Toikazu's Day on October 1st.

TW!: The mention of r*pe and suicidal attempt

21. The dynamic of Bad Boy x Good Boy. You know, sometimes bad boy x good boy ships have a place in their own shippers' hearts. Ex: Ash x Eiji from Banana Fish, Kanba x Shouma from Penguindrum, etc (let you mention it by yourself because I don't know all of them). So does Toikazu in that trope. Besides, the good boy x bad boy ship dynamic never gonna make it boring since they are like two different magnetic poles but if we put them together they will attract each other. It makes sense, huh?! Here

22. According to PASH! Mags, I find some similarities between Toikazu and Reomabu: a. Toikazu's height difference is the same as Reomabu's = 5 cm b. Even each of the couple's blood types has type A and type B (no wonder why Toi same as Mabu n Kazu same as Reo) Here

pics source: Weibo

Here are the description of the personalities of person with type A and type B. More detail about the blood type characteristics can be read in this link: https://www.tofugu.com/japan/japanese-blood-type/ Some of them are correct.

23. Toikazu and Reomabu remind me of my ships when I was a KPOP stan, especially SMTOWN. *ToiKazu look like KriSho (Kris x Suho EXO) (fierce boy x sweet boy vibes. Unfortunately they were drowned since Kris quit from boy group EXO, and now was involved in the underage r*pe cases in China) while ReoMabu like ChangKyu (Changmin TVXQ x Kyuhyun Suju) (coincidentally they have the same height and blood type respectively) Here

Not related to Toikazu but: Changmin from TVXQ has the same blood type and height with Reo, and he has dark skin as Reo (even though not so dark), while Kyuhyun from Super Junior is also the same as Mabu even he has white pale skin like Mabu. They are the evil maknaes in their group respectively.

24. In episode 11, Toi parallels with Kazuki about narrative even though in different last sentences (ep 1 & 11), even they fall to ア sign are still parallel. And red and blue cars in the background. Here

25. And last but not least, apparently they had wanted to commit 'suicide' (disappear from the circle) for their own ways and reasons, but fortunately, their actions were thwarted thanks to misanga in their last arcs. Here
