Boys Planet: Unaired, unaddressed auditions, reviewed

Hey there. So, these are the auditions that we didn’t get to see more than maybe 1 second of, if at all. I’ll let you know what I think of them, and/or give you info to aid you if/when you watch the videos yourself on Youtube. When I give an age, it will be in the international system; when I say “currently ranked,” I mean, as of the end of Episode 1/ beginning of Episode 2. Here we go!

Attention

The performers: 

Seo Won is 22 years old and currently ranked 18.

Jang Ji Ho is 18 and currently ranked 72.

Both are in the nugu group NINE.i, which debuted in March 2022. Winnie, the Thai idol who performed in Kokobop with Nice, is also in NINE.i. 

Seo Won -- that’s his full name -- is a dancer, per kprofiles dot com, and is apparently really into makeup, so there’s that.  Jiho is a rapper and is the younger brother of Go_U from Blitzers, if you follow them. If you’re wondering, Winnie is listed as a rapper. So none of them is known as a vocalist. 

The Song: 

Attention by New Jeans, which was the song of the summer for me in 2022. Fucking love this song. I actually am not wild about most New Jeans songs but I could listen to this every day and never get sick of it. 

My take:

I love the song, and I respect what they were going for, but this performance didn’t work out. I’m evaluating them as much for the practice video as for the actual Star Level Test (SLT), because they did much better in the practice video, and we know they may have been completely exhausted during the filming of the SLT. 

One big problem in the official SLT is that they transposed it to a new key and then the boys couldn’t find the note to start with. It was all wavery and wonky. I don’t even know what note they should have started with, but not that note. I’m not even sure whose fault it is. Considering, however, that neither of them has a vocalist position in their group, I actually think they have vocal potential. 

It’s especially a bummer because I think they could have killed it if they had just started on that right note, and it looks like they were maybe doing something interesting musically. I actually really like how it sounds in the practice video -- it’s kind of cool. 

As for the dancing, Seo Won was noticeably better than Jiho. He does that body bend to “Attentionnnnnnnn” much better. His angles are sharper, he has more power and looks more comfortable on stage. 

Side note: I am super over what I guess I’ll call “Blood Sweat and Tears” style choreography in Kpop. A great example of what I’m talking about is the choreo for “Sugar Rush Ride” by TXT. Love the song, love the guys, hate most of the choreo. It’s all that shoving your arm forward, touching your body, touching each other, putting your hands over each other’s eyes, making it seem like you’re using magic to move each other’s bodies, all that shit. It was perfect in “Blood Sweat and Tears” and now I wish it would cease. More importantly, whatever they were trying to do didn’t fit the spirit of the song. It reminds me of when Lovelyz did a weird “sexy” version of Achoo for Queendom. It was a big mistake. You have to honor the lyrics of a song -- if you do a different version, there has to be a reason. 

That’s not exactly their fault, though. I bet they prepared this themselves, without any help from an agency or choreographer, and while it interfered with my enjoyment of the performance, I’m not going to ding them too hard for it. 

The judges said:

Seo Won 3 stars ⭐⭐⭐ 

Jang Ji Ho 2 stars ⭐⭐

It seems fair to me, actually.  

It’s weird because this was presented in the show’s editing as if it were terrible -- we in the audience saw Jiho getting his 2 stars, not Seo Won getting his 3 stars. MNET!!! :: shakes fist:: 

Should you watch it?  

I’d watch the practice video instead, in which they both sing so much better. If you watch it, Seo Won is in the purple and Jiho is in the gray. 

Bloom Bloom 

The performers: 

Cha Woong Ki age 20, currently ranked 10. He used to be in T01 under the name Woongi, where he held the position of “vocalist.” 

Oh Sung Min age 21, currently ranked 17. He used to be in T01 under the name Jerome, wher he held the position of “vocalist/visual”. 

They’re both signed under WakeOne, just like the team that did ATEEZ’s The Real, and the Global Team with Min, Hikaru, and Anthonny, who did Glitch Mode. They’re actually the same age as or older than all the members of The Real, but are dressed to look cuter and younger. I don’t know why. Sung Min in particular looks much better when he’s styled to look his age. 

I mean.

Quick note on T01: 

This group was the result of a survival show called World Klass and was originally known as TOO. They had some rough times and were treated really poorly by their agency, there was an agency dispute, they changed their name, etc. You just get a bad vibe from the whole thing. But TOO had potential. I think their cover of TVXQ’s Rising Sun for Road to Kingdom might be one of their finest moments. If you want to look for our two trainees, watch the bottom left corner where the singer and lyrics are shown. Sung Min’s stage name Jerome looks like this in Korean: 제롬  and Woonggi looks like this in Korean : 웅기 

Oh, and Pentagon went on Road to Kingdom, as well, which means that Hui has likely met both Woong Ki and Sung Min before, if only briefly. 

The Song: 

Aww, Bloom Bloom pow! It’s a cute song and I’ve always liked it. But like most songs by The Boyz, it’s a bit too high pitched for most boys to sing comfortably. Spoiler alert, I guess. 

My take: 

Quick reminder: Sung Min is in the suit, Woonggi is in the hat. 

They really throw themselves into it, bless ‘em, but at times I see fear in their eyes. For the first minute or so, Woonggi actually has better vocals, and then as he tires it gets worse and worse until it’s really sad. Sung Min, to his credit, executes a difficult vocal run at about 1:09 in. As for the dancing, it’s not bad, but doesn’t seem like the world’s most difficult choreo, and Woonggi gets really out of breath even though it’s only 90 seconds long. 

The judges said:

Cha Woong Ki 1 star ⭐

Oh Sung Min 2 stars ⭐⭐

Again, it seems fair to me, but pretty depressing for debuted idols who already won a reality show.

Should you watch it?

I’d say no. It made me sad. The practice video is moderately better, if you have the urge -- not nearly as cracky. If you watch the practice video, Woonggi is in pink. 

Freak

The performers: 

Han Seo Bin is ranked 70th.

Park Ji Hoo is ranked 47th. He’s the one who told Hui “I just got here!” in episode 1. He looks different here than he did there -- I guess he did his hair differently. 

Both are only 16 years old, and both are signed to H1GHR MUSIC, which is known for being focused more on rap. It’s home to Code Kunst, who basically never makes a bad song. So it makes sense that they’d rap for their audition. And it makes even more sense that JiHoo wouldn’t want to sing to Hui. 

The Song: 

I hadn’t been familiar with this song before, and it didn’t exactly catch my fancy. Sorry, Zico fans! I guess I’m more of a Loco fan. 

My take:

They’re not bad rappers, gotta say. I don’t know Korean nearly well enough to tell how good their pronunciation is, but their tone sounds ok to me. They also really threw themselves into their performance, acting out the lyrics, really going for it. 

The choreography isn’t necessarily super difficult but they make big movements and their balance is good. Seo Bin gives it more in the dance department, lifting up his legs much higher, making bigger reaches. 

The few lines they sing don’t sound great, but they’re here to rap. 

The judges said:

Han Seo Bin 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐! 

Park Ji Hoo  4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐! 

I think I would have gone more 2-3 stars -- I’m not convinced they can sing on key, or do more difficult choreo. Maybe 2 for JiHoo and 3 for SeoBin. 

Should you watch it?  

Considering that the judges gave this 4 stars, maybe you should!

Gambler

The performer: 

Lee Ye Dam is 20 years old and is currently ranked 45. He went on the show LOUD, in which JYP and Psy both judged and picked their favorite trainees… and both of them picked him! He ended up picking Psy, and then getting eliminated in Round 7, so he did pretty well. 

He’s signed with LM entertainment, which was founded to manage former Wanna One members Yoon Jisung and Kang Daniel -- they seem interested in soloists, not boy groups, so it makes sense they’d want an all ‘rounder and that he’d audition on his own.  

The Song: 

This is the song that made me a Monbebe and was my most-played song of 2021, so…. yeah. Think it’s fair to say I love this song. If you’re not familiar with it, watch the dance practice for it -- it’s much better than live versions because one member got injured and didn’t perform live and blah blah just trust me. 

My take:

Jesus H Christ. YeDam goes out there and raps like Joohoney and then sings and dances like Shownu, all by himself. This isn’t an easy passage to rap, and this isn’t easy choreo to pull off, but he does it. Yeah, he started to run out of air here and there, he needs to work on his breath control, some notes were too high for him, but this was tough and he did amazing. Listen to the Space Council roaring with approval in the video. This was a really impressive audition. I think I would have given him 4 stars. 

The judges said:

4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐! Sanity reins!!! 

Should you watch it?  

Fuck yeah. 

Love Scenario

The performers: 

Choi Seung Hun is ranked 46, and at 14 years old, is the youngest in the competition. His slogan, per his intake form, is “I’m not good enough, but I’ll do my best.” He has been an actor since he was 6 years old, and has acted in around 30 drama series and 3 movies between then and now, working steadily, usually playing the young version of other characters in flashbacks.

Jeon Ho Young is ranked 81, and is 18 years old. He’s also an actor, having appeared in 4 or 5 dramas and a movie. 

The Song: 

A classic, and for a good reason. One of those songs that after you’ve heard it a few times, you almost can’t imagine a world in which this song doesn’t exist -- as if it’s always existed. 

My take:

Oh, this is really bad. Ho Young in particular looks terrified, and little Seung Hun sort of executes dance moves without actually dancing. Ho Young’s vocals are actually pretty ok, if you listen past the terror. Seung Hun’s vocals were within range of the key, which is better than some of the other auditions.

I checked out their practice video and Ho Young’s vocals are much better there, enough for me to feel like 3 stars wouldn’t have been insane. But their dancing and performance is still quite stilted, especially for little Seung Hun. 

The judges say: 

Little Choi Seung Hun gets 1 star ⭐, and I agree completely. Like obviously not ready to debut, but not 100% hopeless.  

Jeon Ho Young gets 2 stars ⭐⭐, and again, fair. Someone who has displayed some skill acquisition in progress, though they are equally not ready to debut. 

Should you watch it?  

No, don’t bother, unless maybe you know them from their dramas. 

Lullaby

The performers: 

Jung Ho Jin turned 20 on Feb 27 of 2023, and is ranked 48th. His hobbies include eating and talking, and he used a ton of exclamation points on his intake form.

Kim Min Hyuk is 23, and ranked a sad 90th out of 93. He likes learning new things. 

Park Gwan Young is 22 years old and ranked 61st. He was on another survival show called Stars Awakening, and made it close to the end. His motto is, in English, “4 Seasons Boy 4 You!” 

*Jo Eun Woo* is 18 and has already left the show. I think he left really early in the process, so we don’t even have info on his initial star ranking. 

The Song: 

Possibly my favorite GOT7 song, or at least, quite high on the list. Check it out if you’re not familiar. There is actually a decently non cringey English version, too. 

My take:

Jung Ho Jin in the blue shirt was, to my eyes, a pretty good dancer. Decent footwork, good angles, I don’t know, it looked good to me. He had a maniacal grin the whole time, and I think he’d do well to dial that back, but I’ll take that over stone face. He also mouthed along when he wasn’t singing, which I guess isn’t unheard of in Kpop but I disapprove of it. His singing was very weak. I’d give him maybe 2 stars, mainly for the dancing. 

Kim Min Hyuk did ok, I think. He hit that first note perfectly, and a lot of the time he sounded ok, though fell a bit flat when he was dancing harder. He also took the term “ad lib” seriously and didn’t hit exactly the same ad libs as the original song had, which I don’t hate, but maybe the judges did, no way to know. His dancing seemed good to me. His biggest problem is I don’t think he smiled once -- he looked miserable. 

Park Gwan Young has the most stage presence, and looked like he was actually having fun performing. His singing was in the vicinity of the key most of the time and sometimes actually on it. His dancing and footwork looked good to me, though again I’m not the best judge of that. Arguably the best in the group. Maybe his experience being on another survival show before helped him feel more comfortable than the others. 

The judges say 

Jung Ho Jin in the blue shirt earns 1 star ⭐. Enh, I see why. 

Kim Min Hyuk with the actual adlibs earns 2 stars ⭐⭐ , which seems basically fair. 

Park Gwan Young with the not terrible singing earns 2 stars ⭐⭐ . Yeah, fair. He needs to work on his pitch. 

Should you watch it?

I wouldn’t bother.   If you prefer, you can check out their practice video -- they’re more relaxed and rested in that and their vocals are much better. I mean, based on that video I might have given Park Gwan Young three stars (he’s wearing a tie in the practice video). He’s got a charm to him, actually. 

Maniac

The performers: 

Haru is 17 and is ranked 53rd. He’s not signed with any agency, and claims to be good at vocal mimicry. 

Riku is 18 and is ranked 93rd, aka, last. He’s also not signed with an agency, and his motto is “I will charm you with a lovely figure.” 

The Song: 

It’s not my favorite Stray Kids song, and I feel like it’s a tough choice for an audition song, because no one can do Felix’s deep parts but Felix (or maybe Wyatt from ONF?). But they probably didn’t choose it.

My take:

Neither of them hit the vocals quite right, though Haru was a lot closer. Both of them were better at rapping than singing. I actually think their dancing wasn’t bad, and they did seem to commit to the performance pretty well. I can see why this wasn’t aired -- it wasn’t nearly bad enough to be funny, but not good enough to be actually good. 

Judges say: 

Haru is given ⭐⭐2 stars.

Riku is given ⭐1 star.

That seems fair. I might have given them both 2 stars, but Riku’s pitch was a bit too shaky perhaps.  

Should you watch it?  

Enh, maybe, I don’t know, probably not. If you want to watch it, you may have to search for “스타 레벨 테스트 maniac” to find it. (that says “star level test.”) 

UN Village 

The performer: 

Wumuti is 23 years old and ranked 49th. He’s been on a ton of reality shows before this -- 3 Chinese ones and 1 Korean one (Under 19 -- one source says he withdrew early, but someone else says he made it to the end, I'll be honest and say I don't know).  Here’s a promo photo from one of his early appearances, and no, I have no idea what he’s wearing. 

The Song: 

I’m an EXO fan so of course I love Baekhyun, but this song was never my favorite. I don’t have a good reason why. It’s fine, just didn’t stay long on my playlist. 

My take:

Wumuti says in his intake form that this is one of his favorite songs, and it was an ambitious choice. It’s a difficult song to sing, and he does a decent job with it, considering. His vocal color isn’t nearly as thick and distinct as Baekhyun’s is, so his performance will never compare favorably to the original. He also has trouble with some of the highest notes. However, I appreciate that he held a real microphone and tried to show his vocal abilities. There wasn’t enough dancing for me to evaluate, really, but I get the sense he at least has rhythm. 

Judges say:

2 stars ⭐⭐. I think they may have dinged him for his lack of dancing, because I think these vocals should have earned him 3 stars. He does a bit untrained -- I wonder how good he could be if he can work with Solji and the other vocal trainer and learn how to support his higher notes. He also needs to work on his vocal agility (ability to move through many different notes in a row). 

Should you watch it?  

I think so. He’s pretty good.

Veil 

The performer: 

Wang Zi Hao, from China. He’s 21 years old and ranked 29th. He claims his specialty is Krump.

The Song: 

Lay, as a sorta-member of EXO, has all my support. He’s charming and multi talented. This song doesn’t quite catch my fancy, I’m sorry to say, but I could see how someone else would like it. 

My take:

First off, can we put a hard pause on head to toe black shiny leather? Sigh. 

Zi Hao is a big fan of Lay, which makes sense, and you can see why he wanted to do this song. Still, it was an interesting choice of song for an audition, because it’s in a mixture of English and Chinese. I think it *should* be ok for a trainee to audition in a language other than Korean, but you very rarely see it. (It’s possible he sang in English the whole time -- I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure.) His vocals seemed pretty pitchy to me. I think the dancing was good --  his movements were big and sharp and confident.

Judges say: 

3 stars ⭐⭐⭐ That seems high to me because of his vocals, but he was on key some of the time, so I guess they were a little kind. 

Should you watch it? 

I’d say probably not, but I won’t warn you away from it or anything.

Who

The performers: 

Lee Dong Yeol is 24 and currently ranked 26th.

Lee Hwan Hee is also 24, and ranked 38th. 

Both are members of a relatively nugu group called Up10tion; Dongyeol goes by Xiao and is the lead dancer, while Hwanhee uses his real name and obviously is the main vocalist. You’ll hear his Baekhyun-eseque vocals all through their tracks -- in the way that some groups have a “face of the group,” he’s the voice of this group. You probably don’t know their fantastic song SpinOff, but you should, it’s good. 

UP10TION debuted in 2015, under T.O.P Media, home to TeenTop (check out “To You,” find a dance version) and MCND (Check out ‘Crush.’ I swear, it grows on you). UP10TION, as the name implies, was once a 10-member boy group. Several of their members have terminated their contracts with T.O.P., but a few of those stayed with the group anyway, so there are 7 members active now. However, apparently a bunch more will see their contracts expire in March of 2023, so the timing here is pretty obvious. 

(Side-note: When will K-Pop agencies learn not to put the number of members in the title of the group? Imagine if Exo had been called like, Exo-12. Sigh.) 

The Song: 

Enh? It's obviously trying for that quirky, stripped down sound, but it’s so stripped down as to be just that bit boring for me. I can see why they’d want to do a song originally performed by a duo, but with this song, there’s nowhere to hide, vocally. It doesn’t suit Hwanhee’s voice, either, for some reason. He sounds best when he belts. 

My take:

This made me really sad. I would like to believe that Hwanhee can do so much better, because I love his studio vocals, and I know how tired and stressed they’d have to be. But it sounds so strained and painful. And then Dong Yeol sounds like… well, it sounds like he better be a really, really good dancer. Luckily he is. Neither was very presentational -- it was like watching a dance practice, not a performance. It really seems obvious that that bit in the choreo where one sort of tickles the other one on the chin, that’s the “killing part.” And during that killing part, Dong Yeol doesn’t actually touch Hwanhee. Look, I don’t care about skinship or whatever, I care about committing to the performance. Either do that move all the way, or don’t do that move if you’re uncomfortable touching each other.

The Judges say: 

Lee Dong Yeol gets 2 stars ⭐⭐ 

Lee Hwan Hee gets 3 stars  ⭐⭐⭐

Yeah, I think that is actually pretty fair. 

Should you watch it?  

Probably not. If you do want to, it’s really hard to find when you search for it, so you can use this link. It’s not that it’s atrocious or anything, but I just have to believe they could have done better -- or maybe they can’t, and that’s sad too. 

And on that somber note, we draw this to a close! Hope you’ve been finding this all useful and/or fun so far.

[knize-strachkvas]

so i'm not going to watch boys planet bc a) i hate mnet and i don't trust them to treat the boys fairly b) i do not hate myself enough to go through that shit again when i know its just getting worse and worse with each season. that shit is rigged. we know it, mnet knows we know it.

BUT just the bits and pieces that i see online...oh my fucking god that show is so unserious and just so fucking stupid and they don't even bother to hide it anymore?

1. dividing the trainees into koreans (mnets favourites) and the rest of not-that-interesting trainees that are not fortunate enough to be koreans is just bullshit. like dividing them before the show aired during the trainee reveal? weird, but okay i guess. but not letting them perform together for the introduction performance and putting them according to their nationalities? what the actual fuck mnet. tell me one good reason why all nine.i members that are stuck there couldn't perform together when they are already debuted team? jiho and seowon performed as duo and winnie was put with another thai trainee? that was just unnecessary.

2. mnets pushing the narrative that the koreans trainees need to be better then the rest bc this is kpop and koreans just need to be the best in everything just probably creates unnecessary tension between the trainees. no mater how u edit the performances to make the korean trainees look way better and edit out the foreigners with actual talent, it will just crumble down bc mnets editing is shit and it just creates drama where i want just good vibes (yes this is mnet i know i will not get good vibes its not my first rodeo....i watched ioi's season i know shit or two)

3. jiwoong. thats it thats the tweet...no okay. honestly i got worried for jiwoong when he was announced as a contestant bc mnets is shit but worse, mnet is homophobic shit and hell i don't trust them to treat jiwoong right. for now, it seems like they are just using jiwoong for views. jiwoong is brave for saying out loud right at the beginning that he acted in bl drama and didn't try to push it aside. also everybody else playing their parts and being in love with him is just amusing and i hope they are enjoying it. jiwoong is collecting men everywhere he goes and honestly, good for him.

4. hui (and any other contestant that is in active group tbh) like im so fucking confused what the fuck is cube doing. we all know that cue is shit and is not good in dealing with crisis situation but ?!?! this one is stupid even by their standards. hui literary produced songs for mnets little shitshows before. he was a mentor for people who are now going to mentor him. that's just laughable?? hui doesn't deserve any of this. he is way too old for this shit. and in any mean i mean he is too old to be an active idol. hell no. but the rest of the trainees are more than 10 years younger. u can't want him to take care of a bunch of kids that should be in school and not in this circus. also, i dont even want to imagine how much it would have an impact on pentagon as a group - or any group in general. if a trainee that is already a member of an active group (so pentagon, nine.i, up10tion (what the fuck, why), ciipher etc) what the groups would do? would they have the same contract as x1 should have? bein half and half? i can imagine that could go as smoothly as any other mnets ambitious (stupid) plan. the boys would be overworked in no time and the time management? yeah, hell no. and yes it kinda worked with victon but swoo was back way sooner then they planned, or with nuest (good for them). on the other hand, it definitely didn't worked for anybody else with was mostly the companies fault by not taking the chance properly and mismanaging them.

5. the evil editing. we all know mnet is really good at evil editing but every damn year there are people believing it. like why????? mnet has its favourite and its so obvious. its actually so fucking painful to watch. it was obvious even just from the teasers. i understand that that's the point of the show. the more drama the more views for mnet. bad publicity is still a publicity :)

okay im done now. in conclusion, dont vote for a contestant that is a member of an active group (stan the group instead) and for the love of god and everything holy please dont trust mnet :)

#god maybe twitter has a pont with the word count per tweet #for somebody who claims they dont care at all i wrote a nice liebesbrief #i swear im not invested at all #trust me #all the thing i could do instead of writing this #boys planet #fuck mnet #hehehe its a tag #good to know

[haobinist]

Ok. Wow. Boys Planet. ZB1. Many thoughts.

Very happy for our 9 shiny boys! Unfortunately there was no 12 member lineup twist, I knew it wouldn’t happen but part of me thought just maybe it could lol.

Before I discuss the lineup I just wanna say it was so nice to see all the eliminated trainees. WOONGKI BOY!! Haruto!! Seunghwan (and the banner of his own face that he brought lol)!! ollie wonka with two functioning arms!! Wang Zihao!!WUMUTI TI TI TI!! The NINE.i boys!! Chen Kuan Rui, esp his reaction to Hao’s ranking!! And everyone else as well. Boys planet truly would not have been the same magical experience without all of them, even if they weren’t performing on the final stage.

Im so sad for Keita, Jay and Park Hanbin especially. I really hope they get scooped up by wealthy, well connected companies and continue on having successful careers in the kpop industry. I’d def be there to support them! pH-1 is already joking abt working with Keita on Instagram and even tho that’s obviously not a concrete promise of anything I’d love to see something happen between Keita and H1ghr Music lol.

I’m gonna go thru member by member now, in an attempt to organize my thoughts.

1. Zhang Hao

Holy shit !? Hao P1 !? Absolute slayage. I was so surprised. Tbh, this week I was stressing about how his rank might drop because of losing filler votes, but here he is ranked #1 :D congrats to him for making history as the first foreign center in produce/planet history!

2. Sung Hanbin <3

Mother is debuting!!! Not in P1, which was a twist, but still with a very high rank. This man has a really bright future ahead of him and I’m so happy that I get to support him along the way!

3. Seok Matthew

I was genuinely concerned as to whether or not he would debut, Matthew p03 had me gagged fr I was so happy for him. He’s such a ray of sunshine and has great chemistry with literally everyone he interacts with.

4. Ricky

The SCREAM that was SCRUMPT. Would not be surprised if my neighbors had called 911 honestly. So happy for him!! Honestly, it’s between him and Zhang Hao for my bias in the group. Ricky has grown on me immensely since I started watching the show, also I think he has the best fan edits in the whole fandom like not even just ZB1, of Boys Planet contestants in general. For some reason I feel like the group name really suits him? Like if u showed me a picture of Ricky and said “he’s in a group called ZB1” that would make sense.

5. Gunwook

yet ANOTHER pleasant surprise! I obviously knew he was in the conversation but I was expecting him to be up for like 8th or 9th, esp after he dropped in the 3rd ranking. He started the show with such a tough guy image, but he’s really such a softie and I love it.

6. Kim Taerae

Main vocal slay :) can’t wait to hear more of his high notes and see his big smile onstage. Also I feel like the new dark hair really brings an edge to his image that we haven’t seen before. He might be a reverse Gunwook, seeming very soft and cute at first but actually being tougher than anticipated lol. I was nervous for him after seeing he was 11th in the interim, but clearly the voters pulled thru.

7. Kim Gyuvin

I have not been the biggest Gyuvin fan in the past, but I gotta say he’s really growing on me. He’s like a big goofy puppy dog that can dance really well. His reactions to seeing the other trainees winning (especially Yujin) were so endearing! The other day I watched his en garde fancam on loop aksjfgh he does have a very interesting captivating energy and I appreciate that.

8. Kim Jiwoong

Our hyung <3 so happy for him, he’s been through so much with his previous debut but now he’s finally done it. It’s also nice to see someone who is so clearly openly supportive of the queer community in the final lineup. Not to say that the other trainees aren’t ofc, I think they r all allies (if not queer themselves), but like, jiwoong acting in BL and being friends with Holland, the literal only out k-pop idol, is a different kind of support that I’m happy to see. Most idols tiptoe a bit more, but jiwoong actually does things that r clearly in support of us yknow.

9. Han Yujin

Our maknae :) seeing him drop so much was really surprising, for a moment I thought he wouldn’t make it tbh. I’m fairly neutral on him, I think he’s an amazing dancer and has so much potential, but if I’m being honest he wasn’t necessarily one of my picks. I’m not mad that he’s here by any means tho. I know ZB1 hasn’t even debuted yet so it’s kinda silly to be theorizing about what he’ll do after, but hes young, talented and popular enough that I think once they reach the end of the 2.5 year contract he’s gonna redebut and reach success all over again.

So, that’s it! Boys Planet is over! The lineup is announced! Zhang Hao, Sung Hanbin, Seok Matthew, Ricky, Gunwook, Taerae, Gyuvin, Jiwoong and Taerae. Our Bep1er- now officially known as ZEROBASEONE :D it feels so surreal, but I’m so excited to stan these boys.

230317 NINE.i LIVE EVENT in JAPAN ‘DREAMS COME TRUE’ rainbow 🌈 | do not edit

#NINE.i #vahn #p: fantaken #e: young boy #e: showcase #230317

[sanstropfremir]

I watched the first 2 episodes of Peak Time and then continued with Boys Planet ep 3 the next and and holy crap I was loosing my mind over how obnoxious mnet's editing is. In extreme terms it's like going from uplifting to soul-crushing. I was watching Boys Planet for the Up10tion and Nine.i boys, but Peak Time is 1000 % more enjoyable and interesting eventhough I only really knew DKB. It's sad to see how much more mnet values pushing certain narratives and storylines (ESPECIALLY regarding Hui, I feel so bad for the guy, he basically gets milked for every preview) than properly (and fairly) showcasing all the talented people they have gathered. (Like a fool I'll probably still continue watching it hahaha...)

I really hope Peak Time does well, so these groups have a wider audience they can show themselves to! The first 2 episodes were so much fun to watch, even if not everyone passed.

(I'm still not over DGNA's Mirotic performance😳)

oh mnet's editing is INSUFFERABLE if you watch literally any other show. even if i didn't believe produce shows are ruining the industry and they should be boycotted at all costs, i doubt i could actually sit through a full episode of boys planet bc the way mnet edits them IS soul crushing, especially as an artist. peak time seems to be on track to do ok bc it's attracting some viewers bc it's the same producers as sing again, so fingers crossed knock on wood that those people stick around. i think once we get into the next few rounds it will really start showing how talented these groups are and likely attract more attention

#all the groups that made it through (and some of the ones that didnt) are mostly deserving of looking into i would def recommend #stages from jtbc shows go viral all the time so its very possible that it will happen with peak time #if it hasnt already happened with dgna's mirotic already lol #currently my fave is masc's hello cover........i miss nu'est but also hell yea masc revival #peak time #jtbc peak time #answers #text

[seokmatthewz]

yeah the matthew evil edit really surprised me cause I thought he's was like mnet's darling so I was just like ????? the whole time. my mum even said she was glad that we decided not to watch it live cause matthew placing 9th was stressful and she wouldn't have been able to handle it without knowing the final ranking. I would have been so upset to see haruto seowon and woonggi especially all eliminated at once >.< I'm really looking forward to what everyone does after this tho cause I'm thinking a bunch of the guys are gonna debut soonish and I know ciipher is having a cb, so I hope ptg and nine.i will too? I'm glad to see some of them already doing photoshoots and magazine spreads. I think it's just the beginning for a lot of the trainees

EVERYONE DID HE GOT SHIT ABT IT EVEN KDLSDKL god no season of any show has gotten me quite this riled ive recounted the entirety of boys planet to like 5 people who didnt watch the show in extreme detail but just the matthew parts KLFDSKL i was fully going off the rails like my poor little adhd hyperfixation having ass popped off in such a monumental way it was so serious for me that i had people telling me they were genuinely concerned for my wellbeing going into the final episode it was so bad KLFDSKLDSKL i had like a perpetual pit in my stomach for the entire week leading up to the final i was truly losing it KLFDKS so glad i am free the relief i experienced when they called him was so extreme KLFDSLK idk how soon they'll debut???? but we shall see!!! i'm mostly excited for ciipher and nine.i !!! i think nine.i are even performing the same day as zb1 for kcon japan so i am begging for a love killa team reunion kldskldf i have no idea whats happening w ptg rn but i rlly hope theyll have a comeback !!!! and yeah for sure!!! survival shows have become such a like intrinsic part of debuting and gaining popularity at this point in the industry i really do find it so interesting like it is kinda difficult to find a new group that hasn't had at least one member on a survival show because of how saturated the market for them is recently. i'm curious to see if they'll like increase in frequency now that we r allegedly in the 5th gen or whatever KFDSKLSD tho eventually i will have to stop watching them bc it makes me nervous to see all these super super young trainees like i am so worried for yujin KFDSKLDL

[underratedmusic2]

My ideal top 9 picks for boys planet

I don’t watch boys planet but I’ve seen so many clips that I feel like I’ve watched it 😂

In no particular order

Zhang hao - amazing, determined, and seems so nice. Can play a lot of instruments

Haruto - fun personality and great performer. He can do tricks too! Amazing rapper and dancer

Keita - amazing rapper and performer

Park hanbin - great and it seems like he’s everyone’s friend. He would be good for the group I think

Sung hanbin - really good and sweet. He’s very versatile and could do any concept

Woongki - justice for him after to1. In the feel special performance, he didn’t even win but basically did the whole thing by himself. He deserves better!

Gunwook - all rounder. Tall which would be fun against Kieta and Haruto

Oh sungmin - same as woongki

Seowon - I love nine.i

I feel like that’d be a great group! 2 hanbins tho so one or both would have to have a stage name

I hope a lot of the bp contestants do get to debut at some point!!!

Who are your picks?

Edit: adding wang zihao to the list

[boysplanetrecaps]

Boys Planet Ep 2, recap Part 2.

Here’s the second half of my recap of Boys Planet, Episode 2. We dive into the jerseys, the signal song test, and the new star levels. 

Anyway, here it is! Enjoy. 

We pick up at 49:35 in, where we are treated to a snowy drone view of the Boys Planet dorm buildings, and yeah, they’re pretty unremarkable red brick and glass boxes. I mean, it’s no shiny cube in the middle of a forest. 

The boys, just getting out of their auditions, are brought to some large space and I assume that as they come in a staff-nim makes hand gestures to indicate that they have to be super surprised and delighted by what they find. They exclaim over and over about how everything is so yeppeun (pretty). EVERYTHING. Even these hideous shirts.

They’re color coded -- a color for the sleeve area indicates their star level, and the chest is either blue to indicate K-group or pink to indicate G-group.As you can see in the picture, from worst to best, it goes gray, then yellow, then gree., then orange -- not shown here, the 4 stars have purple sleeves. They’re all ugly but I think the one star/G-group is the worst. 

The all-stars get their shirts last, and they have extra shiny stars on their sleeves. Kim Gyuvin, who you may recall from Kick It (he was the one who did New Thangs! right into the camera), interviews that he loves the shirt so much that it is “the meaning of life.” He has his purple All-Star shirt on over his audition outfit, and he looks like he could fall asleep while talking.  

The four male judges come in and tell them that their level will be reassigned in a week. This makes the 0-3 level trainees, like Han Yu Seop from team GBTB and Mirotic’s Kim Ji Woo, determined to improve, and makes the 4-stars, like Han Seo Bin from the unaired Freak,  scared that they’ll lose their status. The test that will determine their level is the Signal Song test -- they have to learn the choreography for the great big giant group number. Just like in previous seasons, the top ranked trainees will be performing on the top of a big pyramid, and the lowest ranked trainees will barely get to participate. Bak Do Ha, from the Blue House, says he doesn’t want to dance on the floor, and Takuto says he’ll have to work harder. The judges go on to say that whichever group has more stars after the reassigned star levels will get more screentime during that performance, which appears to be a big deal to them. 

Side note: I never understand why they worry that much about whether they’re the center in the performance or not. I mean, it’s about how MNET edits you -- do they show you at all? If so, do they show you in a good light, a pathetic light, or an evil light? And that honestly seems to be luck of the draw. Whether you’re in the center or the bottom, you will get votes based on how much the audience falls in love with you, as evidenced by the fairly high ranking of Bak Do Ha -- 27th. 

Anyway. The judges reveal the title of the Signal Song, “Here I am” (but I’m the real translation is more like “I shine”) The boys go absolutely wild for just the title, the pd-nim nods and says we can use that take. The judges tease that the’re going to play the song, but first they have to kick out the Global trainees, who lost the competition. Once the despised foreigners are gone, the song gets played, and it’s no “Pick Me,” but nothing is. 

Seo Won from Attention/NINE.i likes it, pretty boy wacker Sung Han Bin thinks he can do it well, and talented Lee YeDam from Gambler thinks it’s amazing. Han Bin muses to Seo Won that “it’s really important to stay fit,” which is probably good advice for someone planning to go on this show. The boys are worried about singing it live, and yeah, the song was deliberately written to be impossible to sing live. 

There’s a story that the guys in SHINee used to sing while running on a treadmill in order to build breath control so they could sing while they dance. They probably taught that trick to their hoobaes in EXO and NCT. Being an idol is a seriously physical endeavor -- like some sort of hybrid between an actor and an athlete. 

55:32 Hanging Out

The boys are moving in to their dorms, and getting to know their new roomates. We see some of the rooms -- they have bunkbeds and a tall wardrobe/locker, as well as a humidifier and an alarm clock. We see that they are given roommates on the same team, K or G, but regardless of star-rank. That makes sense, because they easily could have to move in a week and that would be a lot of moving around. 

Looks like the G-group rooms were assigned regardless of home country, so we see the trainees using Korean as a lingua franca. (It does seem that a lot of these trainees speak a lot more Korean than did the Japanese girls on Produce 48.) I won’t go into every detail, but they get to know each other and are silly. In some rooms, they can’t think of what to say to one another! So fun! In other rooms, they’re having a loud laughing party for the cameras! They’re making friends and being good hyungs (older brother-types). Mr. Sexy Kim Ji Woong sleeps with a facial mask on! It’s all cute stuff.

59:00 Learning the Signal Song

The boys meet to practice singing. It’s way too high for basically any of them to sing, because not everyone is a trained tenor or a highly trained baritone. (Click here for my rant on this if you haven’t seen it.)  They ask for a volunteer to try singing it, and little boxer Takuto (0 stars) tries. Solji says, “Takuto, you don’t know how to sing,” which like, wow.

But, I mean, true.

Lee Da Eul, who was one of the two boys who walked in first, tries next. Then Zhang Hao, leader of the G-group Kick It team, tries, and nails it, of course. Nation’s sweetheart Sung Han Bin interviews sweetly that he was intimidated. 

Now it’s time for the dance instruction. They’re given five minutes to memorize it (?) and then asked to perform it. Sexy Jellyfish Park Gun Wook (GBTB) gets called out for his lack of focus, and Canada’s Pride/Xiumin Impersonator Seok Matthew gets praised. 

The zero stars try and knock things over and bump into each other and stuff. Red-House Jung Min Gyu promises to practice a lot. 

The four stars try next, and Han Yu Jin - the 15-year-old phenom from the Korean Kick It team is struggling a lot, as is Hui. One of the interchangeably cruel dance teachers asks Han Yu Jin, you know, a sophomore in high school who is probably away from home for the first time, why he hasn’t mastered the choreography already. Was what they saw already just a fluke? Yeah, asshole, Yujin must just not care about this. Yell at him some more. Try saying, “Why are you dancing bad? I told you to dance good!!!” That will help. 

In his interview, he looks dazed and sickly, his eyes half closed, his hair stuck in clumps to his forehead. Is he sick? Han Yu Jin-ny! Come to noona. I’ll give you some aspirin and hot cocoa and make you lie down for a bit. You guys see it too, right? I’m not crazy? He’s sick? Someone take care of that child! 

The dance judges berate the 4 stars some more, because they’re psychopaths.

Wait, why is Na Kamden (he was the other American who auditioned with Jay) wearing a pearl necklace? 

I went back and checked, and he wore it during his audition and every other time we’ve seen him so far. Hey, I love a guy with style -- it just seems like it would be uncomfortable to wear 24/7. It also feels like there’s a story here. Anyone know? 

1:04:25 The Zero Stars have a Singing Lesson

There are a lot of relatively unknown trainees in this room, so here’s a list of our zero stars, along with their audition song and current rank.  

K-Group

Jeon Woo Seok Criminal (barefoot) 60 Jung Se Yun Damdadi 68  Jang Min Seo Damdadi withdrawn  Bak Do Ha My House (blue) 27 Jung Min Gyu My House (red) 50

G-group 

Yuki Crown 36 Wang Yan Hong Hot 79 Yang Jun Hot 84 Takuto Instead Of... 20 Nice Kokobop 71 Cai Jin Xin Reveal 42 Itsuki Shine 65 Ouju Shine 67 Yutaka n/a 57 Hyo n/a 62 Toui n/a 85

Yutaka has(light brown hair in a bowl cut and Hyo has a blonde ruff in the front. Yutaka, Hyo, and Toui all were supposed to perform Shine with the others, but were sick, and thus were automatically assigned no stars. 

The vocal teacher asks if they feel confident, and Yuki interviews, in Japanese, “I’ve never taken dancing or singing lessons. I’m afraid the’d think I’m bad.” And we see that on his intake form, he filled in that his training period is 0 months. Awww. I feel especially bad for Japanese contestants on these shows, because they are nearly always completely untrained. Takuto says he’s trained for 9 months -- nine whole months? -- but knows that’s not enough. 

Left to right: Jang Min Seo, Bak Do Ha, Yutaka, Itsuki, Hyo, Nice, and Yang Jun. 

Oh man, I translated that caption and then they translated it too. Well, I was pretty close. 

Left to right: Jeon Woo Seok (who is doing some kind of vocal warmup, I think), Jung Se Yun, Jung Min Gyu, ?, Takuto, Ouju, ?, ? (the ?s are Yuki, Wang Yan Hong, and Cai Jin Xin, in some order, I think. Maybe one is Toui? Sorry, I can’t see their name tags.)

They get started singing. Min Seo sounds very strange and pinched, and his voice cracks a lot. It’s no better for any of the others.  Nice continues his habit of not ever looking up. Then Jung Min Gyu goes, and he’s straining hard but he’s on key, actually. Good for him! The judge explains that they need to conserve their breath to sing, and shows them how as they sing they shouldn’t ruffle a piece of paper in front of their mouths. It makes me so happy when someone actually teaches them instead of just yelling at them to DO BETTER! BE GOOD AT THIS! Yang Jun interviews that it helped a lot, and like, yeah, imagine that. 

Bak Do Ha, from the blue house, tries to sing, and he really can’t. The vocal trainer, not unkindly, wonders why he wants to be an idol instead of an actor, since he’s handsome and cannot sing at all. Do Ha says he wants to be an idol, and the trainer sighs, like, ok, I’ll do my best, I guess. But Do Ha can’t repeat a note that he hears. I think he’s tone deaf. You’d think maybe his agency could have noticed this in time to not send him here? 

He cries in the confessional. Aww. 

1:08:30 All Star Lessons 

We know most of these guys, so let’s get straight to it. They’re having a vocal lesson with Solji, and after they sing together one time through, Solji wants to figure out where the discordant notes are coming from. We focus on my little cousin Kum Jeon Hyun (from Nu Nu Na Na), he of the triumphant shouts, for a bit as he tries to sing, and it’s obviously a strain. He says he has a bad throat today, and the editing blames that on his shouting. 

Haruto says that he’s “tone deaf,” and Solji laughs out right, but later on he explains that he just made a mistake with his Korean. Aww, Haruto, your Korean is mostly really great! He meant to say that he has a low range voice, ie, is a bass or maybe a baritone. We still don't see or hear him singing. MNET is sort of... hiding that from us.

Keita does great and Solji praises him. Another trainee, Kim Min Seoung (also from Nu Nu Na Na) notes that even though Keita auditioned primarily as a rapper (in Conduct Zero), his singing voice is good too. You’d expect that this would be the standard for a debuted idol like Keita (he’s in Ciipher) but maybe not always.

Kim Gyu Bin has been hiding in the back. (He was from the Kick It-K team). His singing (both notes and pronunciation) causes Solji to make this face:

She asks him if he lived abroad, his pronunciation is so bad. 

Han Yu Jin looks wavery and blinky, and he’s barely making sounds. Instead of asking if the swaying sophomore might be sick, Solji berates him soundly. 

The 4-stars go to dance lessons, and the MNET editors remind us that Yujin did great at the audition and has a lot to live up to. But he doesn’t do that well in his dance class, and again, he gets yelled at. Does anyone look after these children? Are there like, RAs or something? 

The dance master/psychopath points out that the members of the Kick It team are all struggling and asks if they just practiced Kick It for their whole lives. (In the translation on Viki, they call it Hero, which is the translation of the song’s Korean title.) While they’re getting berated, their Chinese fellow Yuehua trainee, Zhang Hao, looks on with an expression I can’t quite read. I think he’s angry and concerned. He interviews that Yuehua doesn’t really provide training -- at least, I think that’s what this means:

Team Yuehaw! Giddyup!

He’s worried that his younger teammates will have trouble memorizing the choreography. 

1:14:30 3 Stars Dance Lesson 

The psycho dance master tells the 3 stars that they’re all doing great. Sexy Jellyfish Park Gunwook shows off, as do Canada’s pride Seok Matthew and pretty waacker Sung Hanbin. 

Lee Hwanhee, the main vocalist from Up10tion who did Who as his audition in the red jacket, interviews that K-group is really tight, and points out some of the same trainees. Then we have a little dance off between various K-group trainees and G-group trainees. 

Wang Zi Hao, ranked 29th, a 21-year old whose unaired audition was to Lay’s Veil and who apparently specializes in krumping, faces off against Sexy Jellyfish Park GunWook, ranked 15th. They’re both great, and I don’t think a winner is declared. 

Then, I assume a producer whispers something off camera to the dance teacher, and the dance teacher asks best friends Matthew and Hanbin go against each other. Yoon Jong Woo, who sort of kissed Kim Ji Woong before their performance of Mirotic, interviews that they’re very similar, and I guess I’ll take their word for it. I don’t perceive them to be particularly similar in their dancing styles but I’m glad that they’re friends, and it seems that their gentle rivalry is affectionate. It seems obvious to me that Hanbin is better at dancing, but the teacher gives it to Matthew, so what do I know? Nothing, I guess. 

1:18:53 Two Stars Dance Practice 

The editors want us to be worried about Lee Da Eul, who came in first and did the silly hammy dancing at the end of his audition. His 2-star classmates don’t have interesting storylines, I guess, even though there are 24 trainees in this group, making it the largest group. 

Choi Ji Ho interviews that he’s worried about Lee Da Eul, I was like, wait, who the heck is Choi Ji Ho? Turns out I actually missed his audition to Kai’s Mmmh so I’ll have to edit my post on the unaired auditions -- sorry, team, this is a huge undertaking. My quick take is that at 18, he’s a good young dancer, and Kai’s Mmmph was too sensual and adult of a song for him. I think he wrote his own rap, so that’s good. He looks up to GD from Big Bang and Jimin from BTS, so seems like rapping and dancing are his things, not vocals, and he’s currently ranked 55th. Ok, back to the Lee Da Eul storyline, which I’m sure everyone here is more interested in, right?

After Choi Ji Ho, we hear from Jang Ji Ho, a member of NINE.i who auditioned with Attention, who is also worried about Lee Da Eul.  Da Eul was confident in his star test, but now he’s lost his confidence and feels like he doesn’t belong in two stars -- I mean, he doesn’t, poor kid. Da Eul has a star sparkle to him for sure, but he has only enough training to know the difference between good and bad singing and dancing, and to know that what he’s doing is more on the bad end of the spectrum, and that’s an awful place to be in your training if you’re on a show like this. 

Da Eul himself interviews that everyone else is doing well. Haru, who auditioned to Maniac in a green shirt, gets praised; then Lee Dong Yeol, a debuted idol in Up10tion, gets told that he has improved a lot; then Wumuti, the distinctive looking trainee who sang UN Village for his audition, is told he could be an All Star.  

Lee Seung Hwan, who we met during his performance of Mirotic and who was a member of project group 1THE9 and a backup dancer for Oneus, also is worried about Da Eul because he hides in the back. So he kindly brings Da Eul to the middle so that he’ll have an easier view of himself in the mirror. Da Eul is touched by the kindly hyung’s attention.

Now that we spent about 90 seconds on that, let’s move on to… 

1:20:16 Zero Stars Dance Practice  

The G-group are rehearsing with charming Ouju at the helm. You might remember Ouju from his audition performance of Shine. Ouju is a weak singer, but a fairly decent dancer. Hyo (who didn’t audition) interviews (in Japanese) that Ouju has had a year of dance training, which contradicts what the show said earlier, but that’s ok. 

The trainees are copying his movements, which the MNET editors indicate kind of cutely. 

Cai Jin Xin also interviews (in Chinese) that Ouju is helpful -- we met Jin Xin in his performance of Reveal with all the tall trainees. Then Yang Jun from the infamous Hot performance gives Ouju the thumbs up. 

Things like this are why I watch shows like this. I love watching a leader emerge to lead the low ranking teams. I love the camaraderie. I love this stuff. I bet Ouju will rise in the rankings because I think a lot of people feel the way I do. He’s currently 67 -- let’s see where he ends up! 

Gotta say, Takuto looks cute in a backwards hat! I think he’ll grow up to be handsome. By the way, notice Nice in the background, still looking down? He’s always looking down, you guys. 

And that’s enough checking in with the trainees during their practice! We never check in with the 1 stars at all. That’s 16 trainees, all but 4 of whom are Global. 

Side note, because I was curious:

There are 17 Japanese trainees and 18 Chinese Trainees (I don’t include Taipei). The Japanese trainees have 22 stars among them, so 1.29 stars per trainee, while the Chinese trainees have 29 among them, so 1.61 stars per trainee.  The 45 Korean trainees have 114 stars among them, so 2.53 stars per trainee. Also, a total of 194 stars were given to the 93 trainees, which is 2.08 stars per trainee, so the Japanese trainees have star levels that are about half of the average, while the Chinese star levels are about two thirds of the average. I don’t have a point to make. I just felt like doing math and thought I’d tell you what I found out. I love spreadsheets a lot. Ok, let’s continue. 

1:21:28 Phone Home Montage

Aww, it’s time to watch the trainees call home and possibly cry! Get your tissues handy, folx. I’ll mention people’s ages here because I think it sheds light on this kind of thing.

Jay (21) greets his mom (in English, of course).

Park Gwan Young (22) who I thought was the best of the Lullaby group, calls his mom.   

Pretty Sung Han Bin (21) has a funny convo with his mother, who begins to tell a story and then asks if it’s being recorded. She has a funny, breathless voice that I find super charming. Han Bin Oh-ma, fighting! 

Next we see Qiu Sheng Yeng, 21, the blonde guy from the Taipei team who did Tiger Inside, with super flexible stick wielding Chen Kuan Jui as their leader. He tears up as he talks to his mom. 

Next is 17-year-old Lim Jun Seo, who was one of those first two boys who came in, the ones who performed in Replay, who is also clearly crying.  

Then Yuto, 18, one of the “short” Conduct Zero team, whose face is squinched up from trying to hold in the tears. Awwww. He insists that he’s “daijobu” (ok) but he can barely get the word out.

Meanwhile, dance phenom/ sick baby Han Yujin tries to call his mother, but she doesn’t answer. He doesn’t look quite as sick as he did in his previous confessionals, so hopefully he’s alright. The staff member sounds genuinely concerned and offers to pass along a message, so Yujin says to tell his mom that he’s working hard. 

Next is Jang Min Gyu, 23, from the red house. He struggles to get his mom to understand that he’s on camera right now, and it turns out she’s kind of drunk. Hoo boy. 

My little cousin / noted screamer Kum Jun Hyeon, 19, gets a “this number does not exist” message. Oh no! 

Next is Jang Yeo Jun, 17, from the GBTB Jellyfish team, who doesn’t seem too emotional at first, until his mother talks about how much she misses him and then he breaks down completely. We learn in a flashback that he doesn’t go to school right now because he’s focused on his training. Similarly, noted all-star Haruto left Japan to come to Korea for this, and a lot of people don’t understand why.  The tender piano music kicks in as we get a montage of the boys talking about how important this is to them. Vietnamese trainee Dang Hong Hai interviews, in Korean, that every moment he gets to perform is so precious, and auburn-haired All Star Zhang Hao says he’ll never give up. We see the boys practicing at night in their rooms, in the dark.

1:25:03 Signal Song Test Day 

The boys are gathered into two large rooms, one for K and one for G, and arranged on middle-school-chorus-style risers by their star level. Seeing them all together, it really strikes you again how different the distribution of the star levels is between the two groups. 

(I love Bak Do Ha, from the blue house) meditating, top right. 

The trainees are informed via closed-circuit tv that they’ll be brought, one at a time, into a small room with three judges who will determine their final star level based on their performance of the Signal Song. Meanwhile, their teammates will be watching their audition via closed circuit TV as well. 

For the most part, the boys are scared. Mingyu (red house) interviews that he’s nervous to perform right in front of the judges. Lee Dong Gun (who is only 17, performed Criminal wearing shoes [the other guy was barefoot], and who I think danced very well and sang much better than he was given credit) feels the same way.  Wumuti is shocked too. 

Then the trainees are told that whoever has the most stars at the end of this test will get some other benefit, but it’s a pretty minor one -- that group’s All Stars and Center will get more camera time in the Signal Song performance. Honestly, it doesn’t probably impact them much. 

Sexy Jellyfish Park Gunwook thinks K will win by a landslide, because he has a command of basic math and knows that K is currently winning by a 3:2 ratio and that this is unlikely to change. Thai NINE.i member Winnie thinks G-group is solid, but I notice that he doesn’t say he thinks they’ll win. Nation’s sweetheart Sung Han Bin and Canada’s pride Seok Matthew are sure they’ll get all stars this time. 

Noted all-star Haruto mutters to himself in Korean (not his native tongue, Japanese), which is very charming. He’s worried, of course, that G-group can’t possibly win with all those 0-stars. Let’s put it this way: Assume that K-group doesn’t gain or lose any stars, and then assume that half of the 0, 1, 2, and 3 star G-group members advance one level and that no G-group members drop a level, EVEN THEN, G group would lose. There would basically have to be a miracle. 

The judging panel for the G-group is made up of Solji, one of the psycho dance masters, and the rarely seen Rap Master. The judging panel for K-group is Lip J, the other psycho dance master, and the male vocal trainer. Seems… weird, but ok. 

Zero stars: 

Yang Jun from Hot  

He does poorly -- he’s shaky on both the dance and the lyrics and sort of gives up partway through. Oh no. The judges actually laugh at him and he stays in zero stars.  

Yutaka -- one of the ones who didn’t audition because he was sick. Makes up his own choreo. 

Wang Yan Hong from Hot: Randomly stops singing

Nice from Kokobop: Sings poorly, and LOOKS DOWN

Ouju from Shine, the dance teacher of zero stars G group, a personal fave: Clearly has a very sore throat and should have been resting it but has been pushing through and singing anyway. Someone put this boy on vocal rest and give him some slippery elm lozenges, stat. 

The judges are overwhelmed with the awfulness. The dance master wonders aloud if there is something below zero stars, and Solji quips, “aren’t the houses below zero stars?” I kind of love that they’re known as “the houses” but also oh god, I hope their mental health is ok. 

Now to the K-group zero stars. Lee Jeong Hyeon, a 3-star trainee who wore the white short sleeved jacked in The Real, interviews that he’s really impressed by Jang Min Gyu, the red house, because Mingyu is just now learning to dance, and Jeong Hyeon is impressed by how hard Mingyu is working. We see Mingyu hanging out in the hallway and asking anyone who will help him how the choreo goes. Many of the trainees weigh in to say similar things. It’s sweet to see, but we are theoretically looking for someone who is ready to debut now, right? 

By the end of the montage though, I’m thinking -- he does look a lot better. His performance is spliced in with other trainees saying he’s doing well, and it really does look kind of ok. I would have given him 1 star -- that’s my rating for someone who shows signs of vague improvement. He comes back to K-group and everyone is shocked when he sits back in 0-stars. I am too, honestly. I wish I could see a sample of what the judges consider 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 stars here. 

After the red house, it’s time for the Blue House. Bak Do Ha (sometimes the subtitles transliterate his family name as Park) has been trying his best and really wants a 1-star. He is sort of on key at start, and then it goes off the rails totally. Poor guy. He tries to the end, but zero stars for him. At 1:34:41, nation’s sweetheart Han Bin goes over to Doha to offer him a hug, and Doha ends up just collapsing into tears as his hyung holds him. Awww. Sometimes you  just  can’t hold it in when someone is nice to you, it just sort of opens the flood gates. Doha, you’re not ready to debut, and I hope you do just go into acting because I don’t think you ever will be ready to debut, but you seem like a decent fellow.

Next is Takuto. He throws in a wink at a specific point, which the judges think is clever and shows signs of “natural star personality.” His vocals are not remotely accurate, but the judges find him charming anyway, and he gets 1 star, and he collapses into tears of stress and relief. That doesn’t quite seem fair to red house Jang Min Gyu, but it is kind of sweet. 

Next, the 1-stars. 

Dong Dong from the Taipei team who did Tiger Inside. 

Zhang Shuai Bo, my favorite from the tall Reveal team.

Chen Jian Yu from the Call Me Baby team.

Wen Ye Chen also from the Call Me Baby team (their main vocalist). 

Xuan Hao, the blonde member of God’s Menu, who I thought deserved 2 stars. He must think so too, because when he’s done with his audition, he rolls down his sleeve to show that he has star stickers stuck to his arm. Cute! But no dice with the judges. 

Wen Ye Chen drops down to no stars, and the others stay in 1 stars. 

Up next is Cong from Vietnam, who auditioned with SHINee’s View. I said at the time that his 1 star was cruelly low and his singing was pretty decent -- that it seems like they dinged him mostly for pronunciation, when maybe staying on key should be more relevant. The editing agrees, and we see flashbacks of him working hard on his pronunciation. His fellow trainees are impressed with him, and rightfully so. He’s still a bit flat here and there on those highest notes, but it’s really close, and the dancing looks good to me too. The judges actually agree -- he moves up to 3 stars!  Charming Ouju, the pride of the zero stars, interviews in Japanese that Cong’s performance outshined the All Stars’. Aww. You guys, Ouju is winning me over hardcore. I don’t want him in the final line up, but I want good things to happen for him. 

Next is Lee Seung Hwan, who pulls together his jersey to make it look more like a 4-star shirt, and the insane editors color it purple so that the people at home have no idea what is going on. For a second I was like, “is he doing some sort of magic trick?” but no, it was just editing. I mean, to be fair, cannabis is legal where I live, just sayin’, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who was confused? 

We’ve met Lee Seung Hwan before during his performance of Mirotic.  He’s the one who used to be in project group 1THE9 and also was a backup dancer for Oneus. He also was the one who worried about Lee Da Eul and brought him to the middle of the 2-star dance practice. He does great -- good facial expressions -- though his singing was a bit strained. He gets promoted to 3 stars! 

Next is Lee Da Eul, who got so much story focus earlier in the episode. He smiles like he’s confident at the beginning, but things go off the rails. He almost wants to give up, but pushes through. When he’s done, he sets his jaw firmly to not cry. The judges send him down to No stars. 

1:43:24 The three stars audition

First up is Mr Sexy himself, Kim Ji Woong from Mirotic and BL dramas. The judges call him “the only sexy character on Boys Planet” -- don’t they know about Park Gunwook? He dances so sexily that his hair turns into a heart!

The male vocal judge says, “You can sense that he’s trying to accomplish something. For people like that, they have a lot of potential.” But he stays at 3 levels, because his dancing and singing are both a little too sexy. 

Seo Won, from NINE.i / Attention, interviews that it’s going to be tough to be an All Star. 

Lee Jeong Hyeon from The Real tries next, then Park Hyunbeen from GBTB, then Anthonny from Glitch Mode, then Na Kamden, the American who auditioned with Jay. The judges say their dancing is three stars, but their singing is lacking.  All remain 3 stars. 

Next up is one of my faves, Kim Tae Rae, the floppy haired one with the great voice in The Real. He keeps up that charming smile as he performs. The judges say his singing is All Star Level, but his dancing is lacking, so he stays in 3 stars. 

Back in the waiting area, Oh Sung Min from Bloom Bloom is talking about whether K or G will win, and Kim Min Hyuk from Lullaby says that they’re at a disadvantage because they have so many high scorers, that they have more to lose, and that it will be easier for the G group to advance. Yeah, maybe, but the competition isn’t who can gain the most stars; the competition is who will have the most stars. I really think these boys don’t understand how math works. 

Up next is Sexy Jellyfish Park Gunwook, who brings charisma and power to his audition performance. He cracks a few notes but really does well overall. He comes back in and his fellow trainees ask for his score, and we find out that judges have decided to reserve judgment for right now. Speaking of how math works, I came back to edit this in: If you can’t stand to wait to find out how many stars he gets, solve this simple equation, and the answer will be his star rating.  7x - 3 = 25  Otherwise, you’ll find out shortly into the third episode. 

Up next is nation’s sweetheart, Sung Han Bin, who declares himself a candidate for center position of the Signal Song. We see almost his whole audition, and of course, he does great and is given 4 stars. 

Naturally, Canada’s pride Seok Matthew is next. The judges are still considering Park Gunwook, and they say that Seok Matthew’s vocals are better than Gunwook’s, but that even though Matthew’s dancing had “groove,” he messed up the choreo a bit. They keep Matthew in 3 stars. Matthew cries a little and says in English that he was nervous, and Jay and others console him in English, saying that he didn’t look nervous. 

1:53:25 Four Stars

First, they pretend that Hui is going to audition right now. Instead, we get a 2 minute flashback montage, set to tense music, showing Hui getting negative feedback about his dancing and having to ask younger trainees for help.  Blue-haired Park Hanbin from The Real interviews that he didn’t think he himself would be able to handle going from artist to trainee*, and my little cousin Kum Jun Hyeon, he of the notable yelling, says (off camera), “The way he would humble himself before guys much younger than him was cool, but as a fan, it hurt to see it,” and yeah, that’s where I’m at, cuz. Han Seo Bin, one of the animated rappers from Freak, says that he thought that Hui was amazing. Hui himself says, “I’m fine. I believe that if you’re lacking, you should learn.” 

*More on the “artist” thing. Notice that Hanbin used the English word “artist” to describe Hui, and that actually really matters. In the Korean musical landscape, a distinction is drawn between artists and idols. For example, people generally consider IU an artist, and I’m pretty sure Bibi would be considered one as well. But the members of say, Blackpink or BTS, despite their skill and talent and all that, are considered idols. Using the word “artist” elevates what Hui is capable of -- he’s not just a pretty face who endorses brands; he makes real music. It was a big compliment, and one I would agree with. 

The song test starts, but oh no, guys. Hui forgets the lyrics and then can’t find the key to sing. He keeps going, and of course his voice sounds great, but yeah. They put him in three stars.  

Mun Jung Hyun, the cool raspy rapper from The Real (watch the full performance on Youtube!!), interviews that he’s worried that Group G will win. Then, I assume, he goes off camera and eats the special treat the staff dangled in front of him to get him to say that, because no way he actually believes that. 

Meanwhile, Zhang Hao, the auburn haired Yuehua leader, takes his level test and does great, holding on to 4 stars for his group.

He’s pretty happy about it. 

Up next is Jay, and we’re reminded how great he is and how everyone likes him. He apparently had a lot of trouble learning the choreography. We see a flashback of him in the training room, crying in frustrations, and we see kindly Keita helping him. As Jay explains in halting Korean, he feels bad that Keita took time from his own practice to help him. If I were Jay, I’d mention that in the audition room. In any case, he keeps his all star level, and Keita says he knew it would happen. Keita seems like a good egg. 

At 2:01:30, it’s golden maknae Han Yujin’s turn, and OH MY GOD I WAS RIGHT. It turns out he was really sick! All his Yuehua teammates were worried about him, especially charming mophaired Kim Gyu Vin. Jesus, the show is admitting that they let this 15 year old with a high fever work himself half to death? Honestly, fuck this show sometimes. 

Feel free to skip to next episode at 2:02:00 or so. 

Here’s the live voting results. Anyone who made a change of more than 15 spots will be in bold.

Biggest Riser: Na Kamden, up 45!

Biggest Faller: Park Gwan Young, who auditioned with Lullaby, down 29

Ouju hasn't risen yet, but I still think he will by next episode. But I guess we'll see.
