YGE and JYPE trainees to go head to head on 'WIN' + Team A and B performances

[kingalexarnold.livejournal.com]

As per tradition, YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment trainees always go head to head.

This year, 'WIN's Team A and Team B will be battling trainees from JYP Entertainment as evidenced on the preview for the next episode, just as Se7en and Rain, and Big Bang along with 2PM did in the past. The two producers Yang Hyun Suk and J.Y. Park are incredibly close friends, but they still didn't back up in their battle.

After the airing of the show on the 6th, the preview for the next episode showed the 11 boys of 'WIN' going over to the JYP Entertainment building to battle with the JYP Entertainment trainees. This episode will be special in that instead of Team A & B battling each other as they've been doing for the past few episodes, the boys will gather together as one group under the YG Entertainment name to go against another label.

Are you excited?

Team A

Team B

I wish all 11 members would debut tbh

I'm only excited to be able to get a glimpse at those basement trainees jyp has that we'll never hear from again <3

until they go on to debut in groups from other companies

Team B would be perfect if only they had better singers. Team A members got zero chemistry on stage and thus end up shouting over each other while performing.

Isnt donghyuk an ex JYP trainee tho?

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

he trained in JYP for 4-5 months. Yes.

[ms-rancha.livejournal.com]

he is. it will be ~~~~~~~~~awkward~~~~~~~~~~~ haha jk..

The other B team members need more screen time. At this point, there's a big possibility A team can win with sympathy votes. Not that they're not talented or anything, but based on their team performances on the show alone, B > A

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I was complaining about Team A pulling the sympathy vote on Twitter earlier today...ugh

Here for B to be quite honest...though a OneDay concept would be good too

As per tradition? Are there clips from big bang vs. 2pm? Or se7en vs. Rain?

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

no clip, but they did, and I think big bang won over 2pm and rain won over se7en, hence they debut earlier.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

but 2pm debut came like 3 or 4 years after bigbang

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

no, but i wonder who exactly decides who wins

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

Team B's vocals are just not good enough to debut tbh - there is no getting around that and I think YG knows it.

So I was racking my mind trying to come up with ways for both teams to perform "together" so that YG can his big ~revelation~ that they should be one group, and lo and behold.... I mean it's obvious at this point

B.I. and Bobby are the only two B members that have any presence (but there is no way in hell YG would risk losing them) and team A has the better vocalists and practically the only visual.

This.

[chewmi.livejournal.com]

stop! there is nothing interesting about them

[candycrush808.livejournal.com]

I'm not as worried about the singing (I can't believe I'm saying this /face palm). I'm concerned with which team has more stage presence and star quality. Team B does it for me even though their vocals are lacking.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Team A's got the two main vocalists and Team B has the two main rappers. Not debuting them together would be in the realm of utter stupidity.

And imo Team B dancing works because B.I is a good choreographer and a hard worker, he knows what works and what doesn't. The kid is really talented. In terms of dance Team A can do it technically but they need someone like B.I to bring it together for them

but those Team B vocals, lol they're bad.

at the OTP11 vid, they have so much energy, it's great. They're for now untouched by the poseur behaviour.

I like a OneDay concept...but here for Team B until then

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one see BI with the leader presence in the OT11 clip too?

Re: I like a OneDay concept...but here for Team B until then

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

yeah it was weird since he is one of the youngest too

Re: I like a OneDay concept...but here for Team B until then

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

For the entire group he's one of the middle group but you're right

Re: I like a OneDay concept...but here for Team B until then

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

but there is only 2 people younger than him in all the group

[naturalhonee.livejournal.com]

B.I is the key - he seems capable of making any team he's working with look good & work well together. Or am I giving him too much credit?
I have yet to see a flaw in him...I dunno maybe he can't hold a tune or smth.

[charlieu.livejournal.com]

I hate the guy from Kpop Star. And The guy from Superstar K is good, but doesn't really fit in with the direction they're going. Team A is obviously better at singing, but they're singing performance wasn't that great either. Team B can dance and not just relative to TeamA, but on its own. It was a fun performance to see. Team B has loads more potential and looks better together.

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

i disliked the guy from kpop star too until this episode. if you watch team a's clip above, he improved a lot. i used to find his voice so irritating.

[dc222.livejournal.com]

But yes, I am also a lot more interested in seeing a little bit of the JYP trainees.

[yunhalove.livejournal.com]

holy shit. seunghoon got so much better at rapping!! my mouth literally dropped open when he started bc i couldn't believe it was the same crappy rapper from kpop star. not to say he's exceptional or anything, but yeah his improvement in accent is so much better and he's not tacky or nasal-sounding anymore!

b's performance was a lot more comfortable to watch, even if they aren't as vocally talented as seungyoon. a lot of a don't seem to be as confident, unfortunately esp. jinwoo who i love to death but he sticks out like a sore thumb bc of awkward. it's weird. as a whole a has more individuality in terms of their members/personalities/types but this round it somehow seemed like b was more free/doing their own thing. idk if it's bc of the outfit choices but yeah that's how it came across to me.

idk who i support. objectively b, i guess? but a has their own merits too so idk.

Still Can't Believe I'm Repping For Someone Half My Age: Hanbin/BI

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Like I said earlier...I'd like a One Day concept but I'm here for Team B until then

Also...in the OT11 clip BI still appears to be the leader of the overall group...he'd be in the middle age wise if both are together...ijs

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

the chicken fight was adorable. they need to show more of these qt moments in the actual show. it'll def make team a more personable instead of always looking like they're on the verge of breaking down.

[lettace.livejournal.com]

i'm not impressed w yg's vocals whatsoever lol what is that
