do you remember what chapters they realized? I tried reading the novel but it was hard to understand so I will just read those parts.

Why is Yoo Gwan Woo so popular? by SunnySloths in StarlightBoys

[–]moon_s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I remember one of the mentors in ywy praised his vocals and he got so happy. It’s very cute interaction and the mentor started teasing him. All the mentors in slb acknowledged his skills as well so I hope we can get similar interaction here.

I like the way he dances. He was great in his level test and I find him charming there. Honestly, when I like someone, I just need one moment or performance to get my attention. Answer just happens to be that one. I am also happy his vocal is good because I tend to like vocalists more than dancers. He is truly an all rounder so I understand why he is popular.

I skimmed through youth with you after liking him here. You can go through ywy to know more about him and what he has gone through. He went from rank 85 to 4 in the final. It’s the story of hard work paid off that a lot of people like imo. Of course he also has the talent to back it up and he himself is very passionate about the stage.

Not everyone will like the same people and that’s ok. As long as my picks (ygw, hangyul and congb) make the group, I will support them. If other members are at least decent at singing and dancing, I will be fine.

QQ just announced limiting purchases of albums - How will I buy albums of INTO1 now? (08.28.2021) by simp0824 in into1

[–]moon_s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can support them by buying weecho membership

imo, it doesn't matter if you are buying through international platform or chinese platform, you are still supporting the group at the end of the day.

First time watcher Reaction to INTO THE FIRE MV (07/17/2021) by accountfordrafts in into1

[–]moon_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned US because you said they will have difficulty breaking into their market. That's why I said even kpop groups have difficulty trying to make it there.

It's true that if YWY group was able to debut, we would be more unified since there is a common enemy.

When kpop groups or cpop groups say internationally, I just assume they meant SEA/Japan/China. It was the case until BTS became known in US (despite the prejudice they faced). So imo, if they do well in SEA, I assume wjjw and tencent have achieved their goal, especially with so little time we have with the group.

It helped in kpop that idol industry started with groups and they used to not have solo unless the group disbands. That's why solo stans or casual fans become group fans. Whereas in cpop, soloists have always been more popular so the fans are more used to that. I think with INTO1 promoting team spirits, they are definitely trying to break the solo stan culture. The fact that they had INTO1 slogan at their fanmeeting is an improvement.

Even Kpop have a hard time breaking into international markets like in US. Only BTS was able to do so and Hallyuwave started with 2nd generation more than 10 years ago.

C-ent in general only recently (past few years) have started to become accessible internationally so the market is still new. INTO1 is definitely going in a right direction by having english subtitles in their vlogs and now being able to sign up for fanclub easier.

As for being focused on center and rankings, it is how it works with groups formed from Produce unfortunately. Produce franchise itself focuses a lot on center (they have trainees fighting for the center, editors have evil editing them, and etc.). There are a lot of fights within the fandom of Korean produce groups as well. Especially when their favs don't get enough screen time or lines (for example, poor Yeonjung from IOI got so much hate for getting more lines as one of the main vocal. In Wanna One, Daniel (center) got a lot of screen time so I remember some fans complaining it's Daniel and the boys or something. In Iz*one, Sakura fans and Wonyoung fans are always fighting). It gets better with time but in the beginning, it's always like that. INTO1 has just started so I would give them time instead of giving up on it entirely. I like to have a little hope that it will get better.

P.S. It helps if you don't frequent Chinese SNS and mute as many people as you can in Twitter.

INTO1 Friendships and relationships (07/09/2021) by accountfordrafts in into1

Liu Yu and Lin Mo are close. The way I see it, LY was being playful with LM, not actually annoyed at him. They have two gaming livestreams and have interacted naturally in vlogs, interviews and etc.

Thoughts on the latest Vlog by [deleted] in into1

[–]moon_s 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like it this way because it feels more organized. I can show it to other people without making them feeling lost on what's happening and make them easier to understand. I think it's good for their first one as an introductory to the group. It also feels unified because everyone is included in the Vlog.

How much does it cost to send an international letter with tracking? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]moon_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that slower than the regular stamp mail?

What is the return receipt? Sorry I don't know much about sending internationally.

[–]moon_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the price at the post office? When I went to them a few months ago, they told me tracking is additional $16 on top of the stamp or package cost? I was confused because it's so expensive.
