So I recently (like just last week) got into iKon and urgh, B.I be the death of me. I am neither ready nor willing to join the noona wagon but he's making it so hard for me *cries* 4 years is a lot to me... and those ARMSSSSS, leadership, stage presence, talent and dorkiness are really not helping at all.
lol i just finished watching win and i love b.i. too. although tbh the rest of the group is really unremarkable, but i haven't watched mix and match yet. jinhwan in particular annoys me for some reason lol.
You should watch M&M pronto haha. It's very B.I-centric but since it's a competition within one team, you can get to know the other members better as individuals. You are going to love B.I way more after M&M. His leadership shines a lot more. I also think he started building up his body after Win so the definition of his body became deliciously better.
All 6 of them were nicer to the new kids than I had expected. I wouldn't have been so accepting of 3 new members who could potentially take my place in the team and/or potentially change the dynamics that were already there for so long.
But I also think the members depend on B.I too much. Either that or he really needs to learn how to delegate tasks since it's a team afterall. Probably both actually.
I do think he delagated during SMTM because during the Manito the new three apologize to Jinhwan for when he was in charge of their training while Hanbin was out
Hanbin was demanding but I think he had to be in that situation
I still think they were nicer to the new kids than I would be because they had to train them while fitting them into routines so they wouldn't look bad overall...I have to train you AND you could take my spot...man
The uncut Manito also makes me think they actually cut more drama out lol
I just don't know what's YG thinking with delaying their debut, but we'll see, maybe this is for the best and Chanwoo gets some stage presence or something
i'm def going to watch it soon, but ugh i hate how they (ikon) are all younger than me. mino is at least my age, but b.i. is three years younger than me, it feels so weird to have a bias in kpop who's younger than me. i can't even look at junhoe (1997????).
I KNOWWWWW. At least Mino's your age. I like him too but he's a year younger than me. I'm sensitive about age and have never liked younger guys, even if just a year apart. I regret watching Win and M&M lmao. These life ruiners.
I saw a short vid of B.I, Jin Hwan and Junhoe getting off a car and entering the YG building yesterday and urgh, Junhoe has a very nice silhouette, like a freaking model with those long and slender legs of his.
But if you like him, you like him, lol, no matter how much you protest that you "don't like younger guys." Unless the age gap is inappropriate, I don't know why you'd stop yourself.
Just think of it this way: Can you imagine a guy who was one year older than a girl being weirded out/uncomfortable because he liked her?!
Yeah, it was a reality check last year when I realized most of the new groups' leaders/oldest members were 1993/94ers; you felt a slight generation shift. I have no problem being attracted to those guys who are just 3-4 years younger, but when you get to the 1996-98ers, it starts to get slightly depressing, lol.
1997ers Yeo Jin-goo & increasingly Jinhyung (current YG trainee, lol) are the ones who give me a headache - but I justify it to myself that it's okay to just be attracted to them through a computer screen (since their secondary sexual characteristics are well developed), whereas it wouldn't be appropriate to flirt/go after a guy that age irl. I choose to see that as a critical distinction, and that's how I live with myself, lol.
Everyone was really cute in this though. The parts with Epik High in their dressing room were the funniest to me, especially when Seungri came in and they were all asleep with cheering towels over their faces and when Tukutz couldn't get the little question ball open so he just dunked it in the trash can.
whoops whoops i forgot that this was ~yg fam~ , and tbh i'm a yg stan, but for whatever reason i just wanted this to be more of a daesung and seungri going around and trolling everyone with their japanese (and making a lot of ridiculous jokes and doing gags) -- this is why i want daeri to get something like one fine day or smthng in japan soon so that i can watch that on repeat and cry
on the other hand, to be more /on/ topic, i love love love hayi and minzy in this (and ofc daeri too) - also blo reading out his twitter handle just.. not surprising but i loved it, and ofc just epik high being epik high was great ;u;
i'm so glad i got to see a yg fam con even if the japanese ones seemed to be more fun (anything yg does in jp. seems to be more fun than done in any other country tbh)
mte if daesung can have a show with vj boo he can have one with seungri right?! pls 8( i love all of yg's japan stuff so much lol. but i get the impression seungri isn't prepared to spend over half the year there like dae..
true, i'm not sure if seungri would be willing to spend over half the year in japan. dae seems to be so much more comfortable in japan compared to korea and tbh i'm completely in love with dae in japan - from his music to his bts stuff (like the winter in hokkaido thing) - i just hope that i'm not reading it wrong with seungri, bc idk he seems to like japan a lot too (and tbh his popularity there is amazing - i hear from my japanese friend that even her cousins who dgaf about kpop or bigbang know and like ri and that he's all over the tv.. ) so i hope that something like the vj boo d'splay can happen with daeri as a unit ;;
seungri does really well on tv there, almost TOO well, because i think he ended up focusing so much on being a tv personality that promoting his album fell to the wayside, and when it underperformed it seems like he got discouraged :T
ah yeah, i was disappointed when he didn't get any music show awards while he was promoting in korea ;; i really wish yg would treat ri better and promote him better too because i don't want to see him become discouraged when honestly, the music he makes and releases is really really good imo
she just graduated from high school like, yesterday, so i expect yg was giving her minimal work to let her focus on that. there likely won't be any official word on her until further on in the year as she gets back to work.
