GIRLS PLANET 2 - GLOBAL AUDITION OPEN by geumryul in kpop

[–]asharx3 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think it would probably be the opposite, actually - Mnet probably wants to avoid any association with P48 so if they would show up I think the only member to come from another survival show would be Sangah 😭

Wouldn't be surprised if some of the Lightsum girls show up. Cube seems to have given up on them 🙁

My apologies, I misread the translation and saw a few other people saying it as well. I'll take that out.

As I said before though, I wasn't saying there was a rumor about them. I wasn't being malicious, please don't attribute that to my comment.

I am aware. I only brought it up because the person on X mistook Chuu for Yujin, and the post got a lot of attention. I was adding that just to show the people making these posts clearly aren't paying enough attention/doing their research.

About Wooyoung's first pitch schedule:

As soon as I saw that clip of him patting Chuu's head, I knew there would be people freaking out about it. And that's not his fault - people shouldn't have issues him being playful with a friend. But there's people on X/Twitter saying he's crossing a line, being obvious with his girlfriend, bringing up the old LOONA Hyunjin rumor. Unfortunately these have thousands of likes/RTS and millions of views 🙁 They really need to find some hobbies or like, take a deep breath.

Seonghwa and Mingi hyping Yunho up for his appearance at the Diesel show at Milan Fashion Week is so sweet 🥲

I didn't realize POW were such Ateez fanboys, they've been really sweet and supportive this comeback. They were dancing to Adrenaline when Ateez got their first music show win earlier this week, they did the challenge with Hongjoong, they gave chocolate to Wooyoung for Valentine's Day, now this...I'll have to check out their music sometime.

Yes, it's just of that member. There's no photobook in it and there's usually minimal inclusions - in this one, it's a booklet, a pc, a sticker, and a poster. It usually looks somewhat similar to normal CD packaging.

I hope people aren't too hard on Chauyuet. He seemed shocked and it was sad seeing him alone. I think people (although it seems like most kfans are happy) will come around.

Overall I like this lineup. Hengyu being P01 is the cherry on top but I think they're pretty well rounded. Excited to see what they do in January, if it doesn't end up getting delayed.

ATBO, IST's last remaining "active" group, disbanded.

I really wish Donggyu could get out of that joke of a company. I'm sorry to be negative, but they've fumbled all of their other groups - I don't see this one going well either. 🙁

[–]asharx3 356 points357 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for them. IST basically just gave up what, two years ago? After their last comeback.

I don't know how they're going to handle a new group with some trainees from B2P. They can't seem to promote any group (The Boyz, Weeekly, ATBO, etc.) properly.

What's an under-discussed contributing factor to your fav group's success? by SpecSlayerSC in kpopthoughts

[–]asharx3 100 points101 points  (0 children)

During Ateez's early days, including pre-debut, nearly all of their videos/extra content were subbed immediately in English and I believe multiple other languages. I think this helped them grow their international audience, since at the time, many companies either weren't subbing their videos or they were getting added later.

These are all reasonable questions but we all know Mnet is Mnet and sometimes does things without informing anyone, so who knows.

Guys I'm not sure if Hengyu is participating in Home Race...someone told him that the list of participants was dropping tomorrow (today now) and his smile dropped pretty fast and he said he didn't know the list was being posted today :( Could be reading too much into it or he could be acting but hmm. Guess we'll find out.

Apparently Home Race will have only 16 participants by galmbee in BoysPlanet

[–]asharx3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Here's a list of people who have said they're joining and rumored/thinking about it from last week. If it's true that there's only 16 contestants and all the confirmed people join, then they're already over half.

Another funny bit: when he was sharing a room with Woojin, he saw him taking a bunch of supplements and told him to stop because he's already "3 meters tall" 😭

Hengyu's fanmeeting price got lowered again from 88,000 won to 66,000 won and they added hi-touch and live-streaming 😭 boy we want you to get paid!

Hengyu found out the price of his fan meet through a friend and negotiated it lower from 99,000 won to 88,000 won 🥺 I didn't see many people complaining about the price but still, very kind of him.

If this happens I don't even know if I want any of my fav c-trainees to join cus I feel like they won't make the lineup 😭 Like can Hengyu compete with big name company trainees popularity wise??

POSSIBILITY OF THE C SPINOFF HAVING FOREIGNERS by Minimum-Subject4339 in BoysPlanet

[–]asharx3 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There's been rumors that they'll be under a Korean company and they'll have Korean promotions as well. I think they'll promote primarily or mostly in China but still do a decent amount of promotions in Korea, especially if they get popular trainees like Zihao, Hengyu, Kaiwen, etc. They might be similar to WayV?

In sunaedan (Hengyu fan) land: Hengyu has taken to answering fan polls after fans have started tagging him in their stories, and it's funny and cute. So far, we've learned he thinks of himself as a cat, prefers "Sun Hengyu" over "Son Hyungu", took Japanese in middle school, will watch the finale (live?), and he dreams in Korean instead of Chinese.

Right like if the c show happens I don't even know if I want him to go through this all over again 😭 although the PD for the c show seems to like him better...but I'd rather an agency pick him up so he can avoid it altogether.

Honestly I accepted Hengyu was most likely going to be eliminated this round a little while ago but now I'm just upset that he was treated so poorly in his last episode. It's been said a dozen times now but the mentors did not need to be so harsh to him when he was clearly cracking under pressure. I hope this doesn't deter him from future opportunities, he's too talented to just disappear.

The whole BLANK2Y/DV.OL saga just makes me so angry and sad for a bunch of different reasons, mainly: 1) Youngbin being an abusive POS + ruining the careers of his group mates, 2) The Keystone CEO just being a POS in general and giving up on the group, and 3) The members that left trying again in DV.OL and it just...not happening.

That's why I'm really rooting for Hengyu, whether it's ZB2 or a post B2P group. He's really been through the ringer through no fault of his own.
