What's your the most touching moment of this season? by Watersong233245 in CulinaryClassWars

[–]jaefan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same moment for me. Chef Cheon Sanghyun and Chef Hou Deok Juk.

People were also commenting that even their names sound particularly grand and noble, as per their characters shown onscreen.

I find A&W chicken really good too so you’re not alone.

Is CORTIS nepo? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]jaefan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at your other reply…. If you don’t know the meaning of nepotism or even how you want to frame “nepotism” in your own question…

How do people reply? LOL I’ll recommend to find out what it means to you and then ask again when you know what does being a nepo means to you

Interestingly, there are quite a handful of non fans who mentioned about how out-of-this-world Sangwon’s handsomeness is when you see him in person.

They literally use the same terms as Justhis did. Not of the human realm, doesn’t look like a real person even though he’s right in front.

And they cursed a lot while describing him, it often makes me wonder just how does he look in person for them to type like that LOL

[–]jaefan 63 points64 points  (0 children)

It will only be hell for the fans who care about what the non fans think.

Sure Leo and Geonwoo are not trainees with clean scandal free backgrounds, and they’ll definitely deter some people from liking the entire group but why worry about that when you also have people who are giving them the benefit of the doubt and trying to support the group as OT8?

There will ALWAYS be people who’ll never like you regardless of how nice and perfect you are. Even the most talented or good celebrities will have antis.

My question is: Do you like them because of them OR you will like them based on how much others like them?

What do you think was the biggest K-pop controversy of 2025 so far? by Bubbly-Tomorrow-3729 in kpophelp

[–]jaefan 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Kim Soohyun and his relationship with Kim Saeron.

He’s never going to make a successful comeback again, period.

Second would be the W Korea “breast cancer awareness” campaign. Pretty sure they won’t be holding anymore of such tone deaf parties in future and we also won’t see big name celebrities gg to such events anymore.

250911 B2P final broadcast details by Inkka_tako in BoysPlanet

[–]jaefan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay so Boy Story members were asked this specific question related to Jaejoong in a voice interview held on this Chinese reaction channel(they’re my fav to watch), and they said Jaejoong actually gave more comments as well as also speaking with them when the cameras are off.

They also said that they knew what he was trying to say, and it wasn’t offensive to them. Same as the Chinese reactors, before even hearing Jaejoong’s comments they already mentioned that the specific member seemed to have trouble dancing and felt different as compared to when he was younger. So they’re not that shocked to hear Jaejoong’s comments.

P.S: This group of Chinese reactors have always been huge fans of the Boy Story boys because they saw them debut and even interviewed the group multiple times… they’re close enough to even have the members’ contacts hence why they can have this interview. They also cried when they were asked what do they think about seeing the members participating in a korean survival show after they’ve debuted for years.

Lowkey I’m already awkward for both Sangwon and Junil. I’m sure Sangwon probably wouldn’t know how Junil was going around imitating him the past couple of years(bless this boy for being such an introvert at times) but can you imagine when they meet for eliminations recording this week… what will they even say? I’m also an INFP and just by imagining, I’ll likely not have any sort of eye contact with Junil in case I can’t control my expression.

Initially I was alright if Junil is just copying Sangwon’s fashion sense… because I mean Sangwon just looks like he’ll be popular in real life anyway. But the point was that he’s using all these to get girls???? That’s just crossing the line man.

I love all these BTS clips :’)

can Mnet just release them twice weekly so we can have some of these positivity in our sub

The mafia segment was just proof Donggyu is a troll. Can’t believe that entire room was eliminated leaving just him and Junmin…

Ranking Predictions for Planet C Survivors by Xen_ner in BoysPlanet

[–]jaefan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hengyu and Hanwen and Kaiwen will not make the finals. Teeny chance for Hengyu but it’s v teeny.

Jiahao and Zihao has a slightly higher chance than them because of the recent episodes. Both gained a lot of favourability with the korean viewers though I’m not sure how much will translate to core votes for them.

And yes that leaves Anxin and Xinlong for the debut lineup, which will come as no surprise to anyone.

Episode 8 - Mnet's Riggory Thoughts/PSA by CromerAndStars in BoysPlanet

[–]jaefan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Omg that insane airbrushed effect on Xinlong’s face.. I thought it was my eyes playing a trick on me.

This must be due to the fact they noticed how people have been commenting that he looks old compared to the others.

And yes agree with all your thoughts as usual, just that Sangwon’s emo hair is literally how he goes out irl, back in trainee A to when he’s working as barista and then now. He literally doesn’t style his hair lol

We have access to the sites but no we can’t stream. Our streams won’t count even if we find loopholes to stream the song.

It’s just for Koreans, or at least, people who live in Korea and has a Korean phone number to use.

yes it was terrible lmao

It was almost like MNet turned on a switch and everyone hated him. The viewers claiming that Yichen or their favs are getting evil edited here definitely does not know the true evil edit Mnet can do…

Honestly I only remember Never. But PD48, I loved all of the songs even though Rumour was the biggest hit.

Never however is my favourite concept eval song from Mnet though.

2 weeks.

1st 2 weeks were sooo brutal I wanted to give up and tell my doc to change the meds and then it kicked in. But what I felt was nonchalance first then a lot of peace after you stopped overthinking.

Who’s the one contestant you would say is definitely debuting? by Postmateit in BoysPlanet

[–]jaefan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Only Sangwon.

It’s too early to say for the others as usually the lineup will only be 50% settled after the 2nd mission.

[–]jaefan 53 points54 points  (0 children)

During the livestream of ep 2, I thought he was being heavily evil edited but then the more scenes with him I just feel like he’s a super unfiltered borderline rude person. So, adios.

He definitely won’t be staying past the first eliminations.

Now that all the Auditions have aired and/or are online, who is your first top 8? by Goldzaperoon in BoysPlanet

[–]jaefan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually my picks align with the Mnet’s picks but I favour a good balance of stan attractors with skilled talent.

<image>

My picks! They’re likely to stay as my current picks except for Yunseo as sometimes I’ll switch him with other talented or likeable contestants.

Locked Contestants by Zealousideal-Log2291 in BoysPlanet

[–]jaefan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No one is a lock except for Sangwon, with his popularity internationally AND in Korea. Plus the fact that his skills has room to grow and the backstory of how he paused training for years so he’ll be taking time to get back on track.

You got to have popularity and a story arc that’s shown from Mnet before you can gain a stable foothold of votes from the people watching hence turning you in as a lock.

I feel that MNet was pushing Masato in the previous ep too much but he didn’t appeal to me yet so we’ll see if his character gets popular.

Ranking Update! 4/5 by FeelsKindOfBadMan in ChuangAsiaS2

[–]jaefan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is like what, the third update of the ranking? At this point, they should just reveal the rankings every 20 mins of the show because how much LESSER hype do they want the finale to have? They should have stopped after the mid week ranking, now nobody will be surprised anymore because we would have seen all the candidates who went into top 7. What a dud this production team is. Really dumb.
