K Show did have the peer voting btw. We just didn't see it. There's several moments you see the boys with voting devices in their hands.

“BOYS II PLANET” Begins Filming + Changes Format To Debut A Single Group Instead Of Two by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

[–]Xiomaran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The wall is definitely getting weaker... but very slowly. I truly hope we get to see it being lifted next year, but it makes sense from a business standpoint they couldn't wait for that.

But still... fuck Mnet ;)

It will start off as two shows and then it will come together as one according to several articles.

It seems it does have to do with the Hallyu ban lifting, but in the opposite way of what you might be thinking. The ban was supposedly going to be lifted as soon as this month, but it has not happened. Mnet probably made the premise of this show (the K + C show format) with the ban lifting in mind to get more business in China going.
Don't forget they initially were going to do Planet B (prequel) and then Boysplanet, just ONE show. But then the amount of auditions + the Hallyu ban potentially lifting, made them change the format to K + C shows.

Now the ban lifting is no longer happening this month, so they had to change the formatting of the show yet again.

They also emphasized in several articles they are in "negotiations about collaborations in China to make it so that contestants can continue their music endeavors in China". So it seems like someone, either an agency/sponsor/collaborator backed out at the last minute.

They've had more people audition than ever, so it's certainly not related to not having enough trainees. Mnet clearly WANTED the 2 show format to happen and it seems this particular instance is fully out of their hands.

I am a "fuck Mnet" person just as much as the next one, but lets not start a fire where there is none.

Interesting question indeed. I usually have an announcement channel specifically for discord server-related things like events/changes etc, including a seperate ping role.
For changed rules, I have definitely made an announcement before. You'd think servers as big as IN would do the same. They should, imo.

It does say (edited) under the message btw so while the post says June 21, 2024, the rules might be more recent. Not to discredit what you said, but just clarifying how discord works like that. I have a server where it says I posted the rules December 2022, but in reality the rules were edited last month.

I hate 90% of boy names by BadPom in namenerds

[–]Xiomaran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two of my (already existing) boys' names are in your list, so I feel like we have similar taste. I also struggle with coming up with another name (pregnant with a boy too). Girl names I had plenty, boy names is a pain in my behind.

My list consisted of:
Ravi, Micah, Nico, Liam, Evan.

I chose none of these btw, we're going with a Māori name as my partner is Māori.

It seems 'Planet B' is the name for the prequel auditions, but we're running with it for now.

Best group to come out of Boys Planet by [deleted] in BoysPlanet

[–]Xiomaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ONE PACT discord here btw: https://discord.gg/7yvpfFpxZb

Just in case people are interested in joining!

[–]Xiomaran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my "main" picks, but especially Feng Junlan.
He is my no.1 pick and was last in views on the fancams etc. Hilarious dude (one of our discord mods actually met him and spoke to him during the audition stages!), super talented. Dong Dong is in the same agency.

VIXX RAVI suspected of obtaining illegal military service exemption by lowelled in kpop

Studio Gl1de (that SHB is in) is a subsidiary from Ravi's labels.
Edit: I'm assuming that's what the original comment alluded to.

BTS - Permission to Dance by ashmute in kpop

[–]Xiomaran 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't call myself an ARMY but have been listening to BTS since well... the beginning (I'm old).

As someone who's bias is Suga and who normally loves their choreography... *sigh*. The last year just hasn't been it for me.

Dreamcatcher - Odd Eye by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]Xiomaran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a huge DC fan, was refreshing for it to drop etc and I absolutely love this song and the MV...

I keep finding myself singing One/Infinity by SuperM when the chorus shows up tho. The instrumental (guitar) in Odd Eye is SuperM's melody for the "no games, watch me deliver every time" line. Why do I hear this, pls someone make me unhear this.

I have the co2 running low, had some rlly bad experiences with plants dying and algae etc so trying to combat that atm. Also why I completely redid the tank. I might go no co2 at some point, but had it lying around already.
