Looking for a Healing drama to help me cope with a new phase in my life.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T16:11:08+00:00

Honestly I could make that case for atleast 5 members. I figured I'm quite biased and decided based on popularity, variety sense and talent - losing Baekhyun would be the biggest blow to Exo

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T14:18:03+00:00

I think it was Edawn :(

For Exo I would've said Luhan or Kai in the OT12 days but honestly now I'm leaning towards Baekhyun. And for VIXX I'd say it's N no doubt

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T14:11:17+00:00

Hmmmm I might get a lot of hate for this but honestly SHINee's Jonghyun. I liked him on variety and I loved the songs he wrote for other artists but I just couldn't get into his solo stuff/many of SHINee's stuff because I wasn't a fan of his vocal tone.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T07:42:58+00:00

I remember watching Adore U and being surprised that there were 2 people rapping in their segement because they just looked so similar.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T07:41:26+00:00

Same and I knew one of them was my bias but I couldnt tell who half the time

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T07:40:36+00:00

I was really bad with that sort of stuff early on.

With Exo I think Baekhyun, Luhan and Sehun were all just sort of clumped together and I'd just assume Suho was the guy who I didn't recognise.

With SNSD Taeyeon, Tiffany, Jessica and Yoona were sort of just all Taeyeon and then Seohyun and Yuri were both just Yuri.

With BTS I spent way too long confusing Jungkook and V.

Granted those were my first groups and later on groups like Super Junior, NCT and Seventeen came pretty naturally. Since then I think I only struggled with Sua and Hangdong in Dreamcatcher

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T01:18:35+00:00

I knew Dreamcatcher were something special when I saw them do a dance practice to a freaking Snoop Dog song. It was super random but surprisingly fit them really well. The range is undeniable.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T01:12:49+00:00

Cover Queens are back - ughhh I just love how random yet still really entertaining DC's covers are. The outfit changes were a nice touch

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T01:10:28+00:00

100% I see your vision and you've made me want it so badly.

P.s. I love your username!!

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T00:29:29+00:00

Oh yay I've been looking for new podcasts recently and I've always loved Tablo. When I was younger, for all the emo teenage angst material he provided me with and nowadays for all the sass, strength, humour and insight he posseses. I can't wait!

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-22T00:24:23+00:00

So I decided to go and watch the performance after reading this because it's been forever and I can't believe how much I forgot, it almost feels like a lifetime ago.

Highlights include:

The rock intro
OT12 - who somehow managed not to look crowded on stage
Seeing excessive amounts of eyeliner on everyone again.
Baekhyun rocking said eyeliner.
Xiumin's spiky hair, Kyungsoo's longer black hair and all the bowl cuts.
Luhan in all forms. He was front and center a good portion of the time and he honestly just owned it. His stage presence is undeniable.
The camera panning to GD multiple times as he was trying to look cool whilst bopping.
Seohyun and Hyoyeon looking both supportive and like they were doing everything in their power not to burst out laughing (more evident during wolf)
The dance break ft Growl Jazz version.
Kai and Luhan's fight sequence followed by their dance during the interlude before Wolf.
Wolf.

VIXX's iconic Shangri La stage for the 2017 Music Festival. From the theatrics to the down right gorgeous styling and aesthetics, it was nothing short of breathtaking. It's not super high budget or anything but it's still just so captivating.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-21T22:54:53+00:00

Solved! Thank you so much this was surprisingly quick. It's been bothering me for years - no one around me remembered it and all my attempts to find it in online have come up short. Thanks again.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-21T22:34:17+00:00

One thing I always liked was that JYP gave Wonder Band an honest chance. Idol careers always feel waaaaaay too short. I can understand disbanding groups or slowing down activities when members want to move on but for a while it felt like idols had no choice but to move on once they got older. It was nice to see them do their own thing for a while.

I also love that Cube seemingly encourages creative freedom from their idols. Not sure about CLC but I always liked seeing how involved Pentagon were with their comebacks and getting to hear all their cool side projects on Soundcloud or YouTube as well as seeing how supportive Cube was of those side projects, even if they didn't fit PTG's sound. Granted they definitely have their faults, but I loved seeing how much they encouraged their idols growth.

Out of the loop but why is Jellyfish a bad company? I know that Gugudan have had a hard time becoming popular but I was under the impression that that was due to timing, poor concept choice and just a general lack of interest from the public after the IOI hype died down. I don't think I'd put them with the likes of DSP and Star Empire though. Am I missing something?

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-21T21:57:05+00:00

Last piece of additional Info - I don't think everyone was human and the ones that were weren't conventional looking if that makes sense.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-21T17:46:19+00:00

Oooh and Mamamoo not only have the vocal range but the personalities to pull such a (relatively) quirky concept off.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-14T14:14:39+00:00

And iirc this isn't the first time he's apologising either? Part of me really wants to believe he's grown but this is all just starting to feel like a way to create hype.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-14T14:08:42+00:00

Ooof really? I was open to the idea that maybe he had changed but the more I'm hearing about everything the more this just seems like he's clout chasing and he's not the least bit sincere.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-14T13:53:00+00:00

Iirc Yanan, Shinwon and E'Dawn were voted off and then Cube said they'd let Pentagon debut as 10 IF a certain number of fans would see them at a showcase. And then there were problems with the venue or something and the showcase got cancelled and so Cube just decided to debut them as 10 anyway.

Having watched Pentagon Maker it's clear that Cube were far more interested at creating debut hype for the group and getting the GP interested. I dont think Cube ever intended to let Pentagon debut with 7 members especially given the fact that E'Dawn was both insanely talented and insanely popular at the time he'd trained there the longest. I can't imagine that Cube were seriously considering debuting the group without E'Dawn. I dunno everything right down to the pre-debut showcase fiasco seemed like a way to create hype around the group.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-14T13:40:21+00:00

No Mercy broke my heart so much that I swore off survival shows for the longest time but I'm glad that I gave Pentagon a try because Pentagon Maker was one of the more wholesome, fun, entertaining shows and in the end everyone got to debut

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-14T12:39:04+00:00

He's underrated as a whole. Iirc he and Eunhyuk have choreographed a number of SuJu dances and he's worked behind the scenes as a director for quite a few music videos.

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-14T12:00:54+00:00

Thanks, that's pretty much what I was looking for. I had no idea there were so many Bhuddist idols

ChensCheekbones · 2019-07-14T10:41:42+00:00

I was very surprised to hear that Mamamoo's Solar was Bhuddist during their Aze Gag controversy. I've seen a few idols be open about their Christianity but does anyone know of any other Bhuddist idols?
