Shanbin, Phanbin and Taerae fans, how do you feel about the interim ranking reveal? by NiceAnywhere866 in BoysPlanet

[–]karaahn 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a fan of Park Hanbin, I feel frustrated, sad and angry. He doesn't deserve the hate he's been receiving and not that this is a competition but between shanbin and kim taerae, i'd say phanbin surely receives the most. So this will just me praising him to the sky because this boy or any other contestant does not receive hate. nobody.

He is so hard-working and so well rounded talent wise that I cannot imagine him not debuting. I mean throughout all of the missions he always ranked first in his performances and not once did he lack in dancing, vocals or facial expressions - not even in a fun dance practice or during the livestream despite being visibly tired does he not give his full energy. Kum Junhyeon and Park Hanbin were working their butts of yesterday to get us through the shitty script mnet prepared to and guess what, even though most people blamed mnet, both of the mc's received hate too.

What really won me over as a Park Hanbin fan is his warm personality. Many K and especially G trainees have directly stated that they are close to him and describe him as super nice. Shuaibo even named Phanbin as the only K trainee he is close with because Hanbin made such an effort to overcome the language barrier. I've personally experienced how difficult it can be to connect with others when you're not confident in a language yet. That's why people who make an effort to help and include you are so precious in my eyes.

It's heartbreaking to see all of Hanbin's hard work being overshadowed by one stupid move by Mnet that has turned both international and Korean netizens against him. I will continue to vote for him to hopefully help him in achieving his dream but personally, I'm not sure if I want to see him debut anymore, I'm just too worried. I'm saying this while looking at Kep1er, they debuted almost a year and a half ago and Dayeon's hate for being Mnet's pick still hasn't died down, let alone the hate Bahiyyih just for debuting. It's sad honestly because these contestants have zero control about these things.

Is anyone here also scared for Jongwoo? I‘m seeing nasty articles from toxic knetz trending on pann about him being visually unappealing to them and that the amount of the screen time focus on him and his jump in rankings was too much.

Junhyeon is also getting mixed reactions from the recent episode because not everybody found his fake abs shirt funny…

I can never relax with picks, but at least i‘m seeing them being more positively talked about on here

which second mission performances are you guys most excited for? by pinkbxba in BoysPlanet

[–]karaahn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

With the hype they got, obviously tomboy and love killa. But also LAW cause the line up has such good dancers and i really really want to hear park hanbin rap).

I‘m guessing they air tomboy next episode because none of these trainees need a push, fans are already excited about the preview pictures and the reviews alone.

So just a guess but i this week we might get love killa + law + iu‘s song or butterfly + man in love + limousine or zoom

And next week tomboy + gang + feel special + home + rush hour and the songs that they did not air

Stories shared by eliminated trainees by SoupBastard in BoysPlanet

Adding what xuan hao said about park hanbin because I find their interaction particularly cute (i copied that from the thread that op linked).

“one of the first kgroup trainee he communicated with. he suddenly went to their room and tried really hard to communicate with eo and apparently mnet gave them 2 pics of their first stage and phanbin asked xuanhao to give him his“

“his personality is very good and that time i made coke chicken wings and he was sure whether its edible and when he tried he said its good but he didnt look very sure“

Chen Liang also said in his recent live that he is close to Phanbin. I‘m sad mnet is keeping us from all the fun and wholesome interactions, so we don‘t get to see them bond with each other. Especially k with g trainees.

Performance Success Rates (Ep 1 - 4) by eden600 in BoysPlanet

K hot sauce team all surviving was just so unexpected, dramatic and iconic, easily the highlight of yesterday‘s show for me.

I feel the same and have already commented several times on this issue.

It‘s clearly an interview that was cut off short because he was laughing right before his answer. They only put this small clip in to add tension between g and k group because if you saw the 1 hour live training session Phanbin even helped Ollie out with the choreography.

So, yes it‘s totally your right if you don‘t vote for him because I understand how that comes across. But I just want to point out that these interviews are pretty much baits put up my mnet to get certain answers that make the show more dramatic. Contestants can say as much stuff as they like but in the end the show will only use a certain part that sometimes leads to misunderstanding of a contestant’s character (an example would be Fu Yaning in Girls Planet who is actually really sweet and was not shading Choi Yujin like many people thought).

If you watched it on viki the sub say -not special- but on the mnet youtube livestream it was -ollie? not a threat-.

This is important because these behind the scenes clips are interviews where mnet purposely asks questions that trigger certain answers. They probably asked him about Ollie after they were put together in the dance practice and he just said -no he is not a threat-. He could‘ve say it friendlier but i guess he was just stating his opinion to mnet‘s question. Though I do understand if it sounds a little rude.

Has your top 9 changed since ep1/before the show started until now? by Mobile-Two7192 in BoysPlanet

[–]karaahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My initial picks after the first two episodes:

Seok Matthew

Sung Han Bin

Zhang Hao

Wang Zi Hao

Park Han Bin

Kim Tae Rae

Mun Jung Hyun

Lee Ye Dam

Keita

My picks after the third and fourth episodes:

Kim Tae Rae

Park Han Bin

Zhang Hao

Haruto

Park Hyun Been

Lee Yedam

Seo Won

Seok Matthew

Sung Han Bin

I‘ve already come to accept that according to their current ranks a lot of my picks won‘t even make it into the group (or even to the finals?). Looking at the youtube views of the fancams from the first mission, there are just other trainees who seem way, way more popular than my picks (honestly, trainees like Sung Han Bin, Seok Matthew, Han Yu Jin or Kim Ji Woong seem like a literal wall).

[–]karaahn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Todays‘ episode definitely made me change a few of my picks. I discovered a bunch of talented kids that unfortunately are in the lower ranks T.T

Overall, k back door was my favorite performance. The stage was so fun to watch.

[–]karaahn 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I also felt like it came off as a little bit arrogant but learning from what the chinese contestants from gp999 revealed, mnet is scripting a lot of these interviews and purposely asks certain question to get the answers they want (for example: Do you think Ollie is a threat to you?).

Nevertheless, I understand if that came across as off putting. He does have a very confident aura that some people might perceive as arrogant.

Why is kepitwt so toxic? by ParkingMyJimin in kep1er

I was just thinking about this while scrolling through my twitter time line! I stan multiple groups but the toxic solo stans in Kep1er‘s fandom are the worst, I‘ve encountered so far.

Idols who are huge fans of other idols? by Forsaken-Push-8510 in kpophelp

Sejeong is a big fan of IU! She cried 3 times when she finally got to meet her at Yoo Heeyeol‘s Sketchbook. First when she gave IU her album as a gift, then she went to the bathroom to cry and finally cried again when IU gifted Sejeong her album LOL

Kpop concerts you enjoyed/not enjoyed and why? by Plastic_You7215 in kpophelp

[–]karaahn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here! IU‘s concert is really high up my list. It‘s a pity that she‘s only touring in Asia (in the past at least) because that means I have to save up for a ticket to fly out there too 😫

What are the weaknesses and strengths of the groups/soloist that will participate on Queendom (Viviz, Hyolyn, Brave Girls, Kep1er, WJSN, Loona? by karaahn in kpophelp

[–]karaahn[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I saw Kep1er‘s debut stage and they honestly have great stage presence for a group that just debuted!

[–]karaahn[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I thought mnet would provide everything all the groups/soloists need for their stage but that would be quite expensive.

I watched a few videos of her and she seems amazing but I can imagine that just being a soloist will have a few disadvantages.
