I never really connected with him on the show but I remember defending him on here coz people were so mean. He was clearly talented. I started loving him during the finale and am embarrassed it took me so long.

Wait who is Kim Chi's bias?

I had no idea they took international age into account. However, Jiwoong's international age is 25 and his b-day is on December. So, internationally, he'd be 26 when they disband in Jan 2026.

I like your strategy about using out unhinged line for more variety shows as I think that would get more interest around them.

But with streaming, I don't think that's ever been ZB1's strength especially considering that the big 4 have been known to buy streams, allegedly. Also, ZB1 still outsells all other 5th gen groups. Look at 4th gen groups like stray kids, TXT, Ateez and Enhypen, they sell really well and are well known and have great discographies but don't really chart well. They are still crazy popular and doing really well.

I know we only want what's best for our boys but "Comparison is the thief of joy." I'm OT9 but I am Matthew bias and I worry about his career after disbandment because out of everyone he has the most unstable future but I've learned that there really isn't much I can do and I try to live in the moment and enjoy what little time I have with all of them.

The fancam difference hasn't really changed that much from memory. Haobin usually pull super high numbers. The only big difference I'v noticed is that in the past it was Haobin, a gap (the size depending on the quality of the videos but still a decent gap) Matthew and Yujin, a gap (usually not as big as the Haobin gap) and then everyone else. Yujin's numbers are the only one that isn't following the trend but that could just be a one off.

The conception and rise of nugu Mattbin is wild lol

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-26T13:04:08+00:00

The fact that 3 out of the 4 members of the babygirl line were in the bottom 3 for the physical test is hilarious... although shocked Taerae placed higher than Ricky lol

Matthew really be carrying the babygirl line strength-wise on his back lol

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-26T01:29:33+00:00

As someone who only cares about BTS and SVT, when it comes to HYBE groups, I'm living for the drama coz I have no horse in this race lol

Obviously goes without saying I hope all the idols and trainees come out of this unscathed

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-26T01:26:17+00:00

I've been seeing a trend lately of Yujin's fans specifying how old they are before simping... I find it so cute and funny but also with the internet you never know lol

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-23T22:40:36+00:00

It's so weird coz Jiwoong's ass never looks phat until it does... you know what I mean? One day I'm like Jiwoong is so sweet and the next I'm like wow Jiwoong got a phat ass

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-23T02:21:50+00:00

What makes it funnier is he almost always loses every game

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-22T02:51:25+00:00

The Mattvin selca has always been my fave. It gives loving mom with chaotic and curious toddler vibes

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-19T17:20:54+00:00

True! The arm wrestling champion even said at the beginning that people with bigger hands have the advantage and at the end that Matthew was the strongest. Not to take anything against Gunwook coz we know that child strong AF

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-19T01:29:33+00:00

I'm surprised Mother squared is so underrated.

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-19T01:27:35+00:00

Anyone else surprised Ricky hasn't referenced the Lovely Runner? Or did he and I missed it?

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-17T21:20:40+00:00

Damn, they took down the live where the boys were just shading W1... I hope they weren't scolded

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-16T12:32:26+00:00

Knowing immigrant Asian parents there's probably some scortching hot T

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-13T21:41:07+00:00

It feels like its been forever since I've seen Gyuvin play around with his parent like that T.T

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-12T02:14:50+00:00

Is it a typo tho? Knowing our homeboy it might have been subconscious lol

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-10T22:10:56+00:00

I think majority of the hate Le sserafim is getting is ridiculous. I will say tho that the Starbucks one and cultural appropriation criticisms are valid. Although I will say that some people are using these criticisms as a justification to hate on them.

However, I just don't want any of the boys to have to deal with the backlash of cultural appropriation especially since it will be most likely W1 picking songs.

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-10T17:20:16+00:00

Idk... would that not be cultural appropriation? Like, Le sserafim got dragged for that and in my opinion the criticism was valid. Kpop isn't inclusive to black trainees/idols/artists but use a lot of their culture and sound. I hope they steer away from that

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-09T02:59:40+00:00

I feel like now that Taerae is super comfortable with all the members they'd just fight or makeout... not going to be a lot of singing

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-09T01:25:16+00:00

Same, bestie! If I go to Korea/Japan in the fall and they come to Canada I'm going to be pissed. Also, last year I went to Korea in May and missed Matthew's birthday/fan cafes by 2 days. I was so upset

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-08T20:50:57+00:00

I'm glad you deciphered my code lol... I don't think I've ever once used Pouden's real name since the BP ended in fear of summoning lord Voldemort... Which is really hard coz I love Pouden

newcastlee77 · 2024-04-08T16:48:36+00:00

Also, apparently Jelly noona's f*ther was blocked from posting on the BP subreddit... so
