I see you biased Chanwoo editing, I'm like 90% sure he's going to get in at this point but idek I'm not so adverse to the idea any more.

I'm actually surprised that Junhoe grew on me this episode. (I see you also had biased editing though too).

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

Hanbin was super cute at the zoo.

I'm pretty sure Chanwoo did what Hanbin asked out of obedience and not wanting to be scolded by Hanbin rather than kindness (Hanbin has that effect on ppl) but I guess he seems like a good kid nevertheless. I still don't have a bias for any of the new 3 members so anyone they choose is fine by me.

[areebyee.livejournal.com]

the calm before the storm lol

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

they shpuld've been putting cute/ funny moments like this in little fragments during the whole series.

even when donghyuk does get the screentime to show his personality i still dont like him.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

That's some pretty intense dislike for someone you've only seen being cute on tv LOL

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

So many moments they could've shown from the fanmeets... but whatever, I'm so ready for this show to be done. It's worse than WIN tbh.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I don't even know how your post was faster LOL

One more episode

Kim Hanbin...Unrivaled Single Man going to the zoo alone...

So...I am clearly OT6 and here because I support all 11 kids that stole my heart during WIN even if Team B grabbed a bit more.

Watching this episode I was glad to see my love for OT6 is shared. I also enjoyed watching OT3 MC because it is surprising for a YG group, especially pre-debut, to be good at that sort of thing...they are usually so awkward. My favorite kid Hanbin is just so fabulous. He really is the charismatic leader. All of them were cute...

As for the global vote...I'm not partial toward any of the three. I do lean a bit toward Jinhyeong joining the group. There was a noticeable difference in cheers for the new guys but there were still cheers. I do feel a bit bad for Hongseok (even though I still find his stans and their campaign annoying and rude as hell) because he didn't place in China, even after speaking in Mandarin, when the group was expecting him to. The love for Chanwoo is strong. The kid is 16 so he can still grow and improve so it wouldn't be terrible if he joined the group.

To be honest no matter which of the three join it's going to be OT6, with a focus on Double B, carrying the songs and bringing in most of the fans. YG already views Junhoe and Jinhwan as the main vocals so it's really just sharing lines among the three remaining vocals.

Anyone else watch fancams from the finale? I find myself singing along to the song Donghyuk and Junhoe composed, Sino Sijak, because of how they are jamming out. Kudos to Donghyuk and Junhoe picking a song with is no dancing and working with Hongseok's singing style for ENL to show a better performance for him after Let It Go. That was kind of them. I want Taeyang complimenting Donghyuk to be in the broadcast. Yunhyeong's song Long Time No See is pretty good too. These kids are very talented. I like that Donghyuk had a dance stage with Chanwoo and Jinhyeong so those two could show their improvement by keeping up with him. Seeing Double B performing Empty was nice. Even though YG gave the song to Winner, and they did a great job promoting it, I did want to see Team B perform it so this was close.

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

seeing winner and double B performing Empty together was so heartwarming. I liked the performance of Just Another Boy too. Can't wait till the episode airs!

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

The love for OT6 is only stronger by each day that passes. Such a lovely, sweet, talented bunch of kids. Chanwoo is really a cute respectful maknae. I can't believe how attached I became when it comes to Donghyuk considering I never managed to warm up to him during WIN.

I love Junhoe the diva. His sass gives me life. Yunhyung's face makes me happy for some reason. Like I see him and I smile.

As much as I like Chanwoo and genuinely wouldn't mind him being the 7th member with OT6 (because unlike most people I think he can actually improve a lot with their guidance), I think Jinhyung is a far better fit overall talent wise (tho there isn't much difference between the 3 new kids in that aspect because they all have strengths and weaknesses). It helps that he's as cute as a button too.

[yumett.livejournal.com]

if chanwoo makes it i'm gonna cry (and not in the good way and meaning).
but in a way this show is so obviously chanwoo biased that it makes me weirdly think that he's not the one who's gonna make it. idk it's 'too' obvious it'd be too easy, and that's not yg style...
i still wish for hongseok but i guess it'll be jinhyeong.
can't wait for this show to end tbh somehow it sickens me.

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

ot6+1 is virtually impossible not to be the endgame, but i'm still worried about a surprise reversal ;___;

as much as i like chanwoo, i really wish jinhyeong could be the 7th member, different vocal colour, a lot of short term improvement in terms of dancing and performance, but we'll see ig.

[cedric-mcfly.livejournal.com]

We're almost done people!
I think this was my favourite episode, it felt a bit lighter, funnier etc.

Poor Chanwoo, he has ten times more patience than me.

Also well done Osaka with your flawless taste! I'm glad Yunhyeong got first place at something!

I like to think we'll get OT6 +1, but i'm bracing myself for any shenanigans!

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

Yo Japan fan meet peeps you're the real MVP.


I'll be happy when this ends but sad because that means Chanwoo is in for good. How in the hell did they manage to get him in the group with this cute maknae image when Donghyuk is there out cute-ing the hell out of him I will never understand.

[bluesandhues.livejournal.com]

awww hanbin at the zoo was so cute ;w;
sigh i love these boys and its going to be sad when two of them get kicked out :(
I feel like chanwoo is so popular because he fits his role so well, the cute machine but i still hope that jinhyeong makes it (I need to see him play the drums!)

one more episode left and god it pains me to see Team B crying again T___T YG is cruel...
but damn the legion of fans ikon already has is crazzyyy

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Dead at Hanbin's thirst for a chocolate ice cream cone and his screams of Chanwoo-yaaaaaaaa!

[2ne3rd.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna start calling Chanwoo ChanDara from now on, since thats basically what his roles gonna be.
Also gradually starting to see the appeal of Junhoe! hes a cute little boy. And obviously I feel bad for Hongseok. He's been outcasted for for basically being the only one who can acutually sing (aint that some shit) I just hope that maybe YG can keep him on as a potential solo artist, because he's definitely got the talent for it.

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

I've been saying he's going to be the Dara of the group. Dara works in her group though since it's only 4 people but in this group...

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

I have only watched their performances since i don't want to go through the hellish WIN process again.

what i dislike is the same reason as to why I voted for WINNER.

it's still double B featuring who ever

there is still problems with the vocals

their performances are still disjointed in the sense that the hiphop/rap parts does not flow well with the rest of the songs like the frozen and rolling in the deep performances. it's sounds like a mix tape rap remix

what i love about team b+ 3 is that they can really dance it's always to fun to watch them because they can get really creative with it.

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

tbh I think YG really did go into this wanting to know what the fans want, and I think he wanted to add a member with the Chinese market in mind (Hongseok with his language ability obviously, and Lee Minho is popular in China will mean little LMH will be too, idk for sure about Jinhyung), but I also think people are crazy if they really think their voting will be the final decision for the group. Yeah, the votes will matter and YG will take them into consideration, but the final decision is really his and his alone.

I also wouldn't be surprised if there was some fuckery with the final results. In Big Bang's show Seungri got cut and was later added back in, while in WIN the losing team was supposed to be disbanded and yet here we are with a setup that's obviously designed to keep the original group together while generating the most hysteria possible among fans. iKON has the potential to become an 8 member group if that's the way YG wants it to go. I guess we just have to wait and see though, really.

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

The blatant bias towards Chanwoo -sigh-

At least he's good for relieving the hyungs' stress. Poor guy. Hanbin was having too much fun.
Junhoe is soo adorable, he might become my bias if he keeps this up.

I can't wait for OT6+1 to be solidified in the group, and I don't mind if it's Chanwoo even though I like Jinhyeong more. All this drama is annoying. I hope ppl leave the fandom when they don't get what they want, cause I'm not gonna be here for any bashing. I also hope Hongseok gets a chance to debut somewhere too. Before the show started I thought he was cute so I wanna keep seeing his face and he has a great voice. I could picture him being like Roy Kim or something.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

If Hongseok doesn't get in the people who are deadset on getting their way are never going to leave...they are going to be complaining years from now and saying they hate iKON while posting in every thread and post related to them. If he does get in they'll complain about Jinhyeong instead...be prepared

[tenbrook.livejournal.com]

So long as OT6 makes it I'm not fussed. I prefer Jinhyeong as the most well-rounded choice and tbh Hongseok's probably better suited to a diff company. He's not going to enjoy being in a group of high school drop-outs when his favorite book is by Alain de Botton lol. (Mystic89 is holding open auditions for a boyband rn, aren't they? Seems like he'd fit in better there.)

Dat Junhwe's popularity tho O.O Good for him. How the whole crowd was chanting his name at the Seoul fanmeet was frankly terrifying/amazing. Just a sea of girls chanting gu-ju-ne like an incantation. Even he looked a bit shocked.

Applause for Japan's good taste at choosing Yunhyung. Might not be the best singer or whatever but he's entertaining, clever, and has got a joyful, easy to like personality; all he needs is the right opportunity to shine. Hopefully YG pushes him out there because he will help make up for YG's reputation for housing idols who are awkward or unapproachable or... criminal.

Not sure how I feel about the idea of both Chanwoo and Donghyuk in the group. They can't both be the cute maknaes, unless Double B are scheming to have a butler maknae each. How's this going to work out exactly?

Well, not really worth overthinking it, I suppose. We'll find out soon enough. Anyway best of luck to them all!

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

This was such a lovely fluffy epþ

Highlight was definitely Hanbin ordering Chanwoo around lol, i was howling when he started throwing a fit about the choco cone.

Mnet/YG is definitely setting Chanwoo up to be the 7th members with this editing. But he's sooooo gd adorable and cute, which imo is needed bc even after watching all of WIN, the WIN BTS dvd, and all the M&M eps i honestly do not recall Donghyuk being cute even once, like some people are talking about. Maybe I'm blind and/or have selective amnesia lol.

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

Selective amnesia plus the editing but look at when they introduced themselves to the audience at the Seoul fan meet. Donghyuk's aegyo game is strong. Chanwoo was once again awkward and boring even with YG/MNET editing on his side.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

[kevinmchale.livejournal.com]

lol i feel like they already sealed the deal with that cute maknae segment for chanwoo rip

lmao bobby at nona9on. jinhwan/junhwe + b.i. were cute. i wish we saw more of yunhyeong jinhyeong and hongseok tho sigh

so excited for the final match perfs!!! i hope everyone slays

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

I'll probably forever be bitter about how little Jinhyeong we got in this show. I wish they'd try to not be so obvious with their manipulation for the few fans smart enough to see the bs.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

choi ji woo so beautiful...

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

I know everyone wants all of the Team B members to make it, so I tend to feel more sorry for the new guys who came in. I really like Chanwoo and Jinhyeong and I would like for both of them to make it. But since fans leans more for OT6, it makes it difficult.

Awkward much @ Bobby performing solo at that event. Choi Ji-woo was like 0_0 lol.

At this point, I hope Junhoe makes it. Him, whichever newbie they pick and Bobby will probably be theonly people I'll stan.

Question: Is this the last episode? When will the results of the team be announced?

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

Results are announced on the episode which airs on the 30th

[areebyee.livejournal.com]

Also, idg why Donghyuk is the maknae when Junhoe's younger by a few months, or am I getting things mixed up. Cackling at how no one ever makes Junhoe do maknae stuff though during that unreleased vid of team a and b eating meat together in win it was Donghyuk doing the grilling, not Junhoe lol.

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

June's diva ass take orders?! No way! I like that they don't have a traditional maknae.

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

My ideal iKON line up is: BI, Bobby, Jinhwan, Junhwe, Yunyeong, Jinhyeong, and Chanwoo.

Donghyuk doesn't appeal to me in terms of looks, vocals, or personality, and although I really enjoy Hongseok I feel like he belongs and would be happier elsewhere.

Of course that's my selfish line up, where I don't care that they'll be crushed they didn't keep ot6 together. Since it probably will be ot6 though, I hope the +1 is Jinhyeong.

BI was adorable at the zoo <3! Can't wait to get my stan on once ikon debuts.

[harmoniously.livejournal.com]

Chanwoo > Donghyuk???

Lul no judgment, just curious. Tho I can see why some people don't like his tone, Donghyuk has a better sense of musicality imo. Chanwoo seems to struggle with learning his parts and hasn't really shown us good range. I don't think Chanwoo's bad, but he'd def benefit from a longer trainee period.

IA about Jinhyeong being the +1 tho!

And that B.I at the zoo is adorable. I really wanna know why he went by himself. And how he's so good at making ugly faces...
