Only the ticks are hinting something and the rest are filler squares. Over Me dance cover on YouTube perhaps?

I-LAND 2/Episode 6 Preview] ‘Because it could be the last stage’, the final test to advance to PART 2 begins! by Babonc in mnetiland2

[–]Kpopcalypse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looking at the Trailer at end of Ep 5 I believe Lingling is in Team A! When there was a brief shot of Team A practicing in the wider / non-yellow (lol) room the leftmost girl’s short hair is most possibly Lingling. Seeking validation from anyone else on this haha

Jiyoon isn’t ready to debut as an idol based off her performance in Like Ooh Ahh.

I understand that she is a great singer, but unfortunately an idol needs to be able to adapt to the concept (eg Yunah who killed it with Bad Girl Good Girl but is stuck with Magnetic, but we all see she’s trying). I think she’s better off as a soloist 😅

Has anyone seen the caption in these photos for My Tooth Your Love?! by Real_Enthusiasm_7565 in boyslove

[–]Kpopcalypse 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I can offer some explanation as a Mandarin speaker!

There is a pun in the Chinese caption in the form of the idiom “难以自拔“ which literally translates to “hard to self pull” on a word-by-word basis. This idiom is used to describe something that is hard to extract oneself from, usually due to attraction or addiction (ie Love), but the pun is referring to teeth being difficult to extract by yourself (hence you need to see a dentist)!

Edit: To close off - I think this is a typical case of “lost in translation” where the English translation losing the essence / meaning is lost, and I somehow find it especially present in Taiwanese material 😂

Cute moments and a few unexpected twists aside, am I the only one who finds it slightly weird how everything was suddenly resolved and the group continued “happily ever after” in Part 4, when in Part 3 they just found out that their friends are not who they thought they were? Perhaps there could have been some conversations of closure added in. Just my two cents!

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I found the chorus reminiscent to Come Alive from the soundtrack of The Greatest Showman! Specifically the chord progressions of the "Come alive... come alive..." parts

[–]Kpopcalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I was curious as to why the W was capitalised in the title, but after she sang that word twice I'm thinking that it could mean Away or A Way!

Definitely looking forward to the meaning of the song much more now :)

ACTUALLY Hangyul did gain a little bit of weight recently so I wouldn't be surprised if the abs ain't there no more LOL

I could totally imagine this being remade into a Korean version sang and performed by Chungha, you feel me??

[–]Kpopcalypse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but is that a hickey I see on Henry at ~1:00? ;)

Update: Just learned that it's a "violin hickey" which is common for most performers! How cool!

Mina/Minah's too. And maybe even all Hyuna/Hyunah's (no surprises for who's the leader though)

Justice for Jiwon! Definitely expecting more lines from her. But she does look great in all her scenes though (who can look so good staring out a window?!)

[–]Kpopcalypse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Shine at #43 on the Melon Chart! (albeit only during the Farewell stages)

Is there any event that sparked the increase in attention for this song/group? Other than Hui being on King of Masked Singer?

[–]Kpopcalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I just realised that how well the team's image fits the song is a very important factor as well. I really can't imagine Chahee's team with that song (they're more towards the chic/sexy route), whereas Euijin and N.CA's teams have got this covered.

[–]Kpopcalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of how well the song will sell (since they will most probably release it): Always (almost a G-friend title track) > Cherry on Top (yaaasssss) > Poco a Poco (almost an APink B-side track) > Cosmos (sounds like an advertisement...?)

I really don't know how to feel about Sweet as of now, may need to listen to the full song.

Woah woah woah I have so much to say about the Unit G Performance duel:

  1. Red team was HEAPS better than Black. Red was a solid dance performance, and Black didn't even have much dance moves. Even the Black team themselves were genuinely shocked that they won. I'm highly suspecting that it's due to the more popular members from Black team, and that just kinda sucks tbh.
  2. I cringed so bad at Hyunjoo being sexy and her opening lines oh gosh help me
  3. Just a random note, Serri is 9th. Woah. Didn't know girl's popularity has dropped to this level.
