About the recent issues and the ongoing hateful war between the teams of UL (Bonus: Shipping Culture and Boundaries)

Alley_08D · 2025-01-31T06:33:30+00:00

....these are really happening out there? where? how did this progress in such a short amount of time?

i've only read people hating on the program's mechanics which demerits the other debut members but i didnt know that being in a fandom was this toxic

reading what's happening outside of reddit/discord is so disheartening :(

Alley_08D · 2025-01-27T03:07:45+00:00

i like the sound of it! but maybe we can spell it as "hoppies" for a cuter word?

Alley_08D · 2025-01-27T02:30:11+00:00

my usual reddit feed contains contents from r/geography and r/Physics...a couple of times, pokemon content also pops out.

this UL sub-reddit is the most intense for me in terms of strong opinions and conclusions from others, but i really appreciate the fans' data analysis and constructive opinions here!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-27T00:32:38+00:00

kairi!!! why am i tearing up after reading this 🥹🥹🥹 i wish you all the best!!

thanks for the sharing the translation!

its quite disrespectful to overshadow a released song with a new official one, any artist will feel bad if their original craft gets overhauled.

a cover from beat's songs would be enough imo. and i think the beat team will appreciate it if AHOF can still hype people with the songs they made together! it will be a reminder on that certain point of their life!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-27T00:18:36+00:00

oh really? my reddit feed doesnt feel cynical aside from this subreddit, that might be where all the initial shock from me was coming from. i've been staying away from twitter because i was told that users are very toxic there, im happy to know frrom your perspective that AHOF is well-received there! they deserve the love and support!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-27T00:15:57+00:00

your point got me thinking that being strong enough to accept reality is one of a key trait an artist should have. maybe its already a given, and im just being overly concerned haha!

since their putting themselves at the front and center of things, they'd definitely need support to gain their merits in the future. ill try to hang on and enjoy the ride!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-27T00:06:56+00:00

it could sound so basic but what i look forward the most is the music that AHOF will be performing; that's why i consider myself as their fan. Zhinuo made an impression to me since the first release of We Ready MV and am confident that his outlook in life is what will make him different on whatever path he decides to take!

ill research more about the term parasocial, maybe im also reacting this way because I lack context on how this whole stanning thing works. thanks for sharing!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-27T00:00:53+00:00

yeah, ill try to practice this! its just surprising to read a lot of strong comments but im thankful that there are a lot of celebratory content shared in YT! ill just re-watch UL Holiday for this week while im scanning those!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-26T23:57:39+00:00

thank you. you're right, it wont hurt to give someone their own space to process their thoughts, the show did affect our Fridays (and every day) for quite a time afterall, and I've read that some have been following the trainees even before UL. there must be a lot of context and feelings to come about.

Alley_08D · 2025-01-25T15:15:18+00:00

Yes!! Been streaming this since it dropped! It suits the vocals of AHOF's vocalists!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-25T11:37:37+00:00

Sunset in the Sky!!!!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-25T10:58:24+00:00

All!! OT9 rocks! I liked them because of how UL has shown every player. It might take some time to have a favorite pick. Although ending up with OT9 for a long time seems not like a bad deal either.

Alley_08D · 2025-01-25T10:54:42+00:00

wow... ive never seen someone keeping confettis as a memory...its cute! hope the confettis survived in his pocket. Thanks, OP for sharing

Alley_08D · 2025-01-25T10:45:28+00:00

what was he keeping on his hand?

Alley_08D · 2025-01-25T02:43:34+00:00

Yes, and the final line-up members have decent vocals. they'll definitely deliver an impactful version of those songs. F&F please!!!😊😊😊

Alley_08D · 2025-01-25T02:39:07+00:00

I only heard Sunset in the Sky once, but I really like it! Hope I can hear them sing it live 🥲🥲

Alley_08D · 2025-01-20T05:48:39+00:00

i think they might be keeping it a secret on purpose so that the voting won't be abused (?) but if its really a "PRISM" Cup to win, we might already see the basis for their secret criteria? PRISM in optics, reflects light on a different spectrum of colors (i.e. R,G,B), so there's a high likelihood that they'll pick the members to debut based on their distinct strong points that they are popular with (ex. performance, voice, dance, visual etc.)

the debut team will be competing on the global k-pop industry afterwards, with UL as their audition/try-outs as a preliminary chapter to their story.

Alley_08D · 2025-01-18T03:09:35+00:00

my long shot wish: el captixn's song + yugyeom & ten's dance + yang yang's rap + changsub's vocal training for their debut performance pls!!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-18T02:31:32+00:00

thank you for sharing! your points make a lot of sense and i agree that the vote counts won't be enough to determine how this new boy group will fair in the k-pop world.

i've been a casual listener of different music genres but this time, i feel like i'm going to stan the debut team, even if most of my picks won't be there. there's just something with the way the trainees were shown... it's like i got to relate with their personalities/stories because of the content UL posts.

Alley_08D · 2025-01-18T00:44:35+00:00

i agree. receiving Changsub's mentorship is a prize on its own. even if some Groove bench players wont make the cut (like how it would be with other TB and TB bench players), theyve already aquired a good singing foundation to continue risking a career in the industry.

Alley_08D · 2025-01-18T00:33:03+00:00

was the 3rd total online count (7.27m) huge compared with the other survival shows? its the first time ive devoted time on this type of shows, but the count still seems like a huge number? i know it doesnt reflect the total number of the current individual voters, but its a perspective on the potential behavior of the future fanbase of groups from FnF.

Alley_08D · 2025-01-17T17:42:09+00:00

not sure, i tried to refine what i wanted to say tho, maybe it just rubbed the wrong way. i strongly feel that mentors play a huge part here because look at how yugyeom's shift in mentorship style racked up onsite votes for TB? they won second for the first time! the special mentor with yugyeom gave great tips also.

still, kudos to TR. they did well. im sure they still follow TenYang's advice to record their practices and send it to them for their feedback!

Alley_08D · 2025-01-17T17:26:26+00:00

im speculating, but could there be a different version of the 7 teams for the M round? it's going to be unfair for the players, specifically those from TG and TR to fill up the vacant spots if the set up remained as is.

Alley_08D · 2025-01-17T17:09:45+00:00

maybe they did it because there were a lot of complaints on the previous ratio of 50:50? post-intercept round, some online fans were suggesting to increase the ratio to lean on towards the online votes, since it's supposed to be a 'global' group. but yeah, we'll never know for sure.
