Park minjin, the girl who sang at the end, is my new favorite. Her tone, vocal control, and sentiment was so good. She had some small r&b runs in there too so I'm looking forward to seeing what she does next. The rest of the contestants didn't impress me much.

That guy who sang Satelite last ep

Son Jiyeon & Yoo Jay are so good... I thought Baek Yerin was the best vocalist to ever come out of this show but they're giving her a run for her money, for real.

Park Minjin is rly good too, but in a more technical/studied way. Those first two hit me in the FEELS.

you mean park ji min? baek yerin was in star king

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

I meant Baek Yerin, but I forgot she was on a different audition show, whoops.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

oh lol yeah i don't think star king was really audition show but she was in jyp audition 2nd place after wooyoung?? or is there another show i don't know about!?!?!

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

I just didn't know how she came to be in JYP tbh, I assumed she was an audition show contestant like Park Jimin lol you know more than I do!

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

found it. she sang listen in 2007 when she was 10 so young.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

whaaaaaat. has she been a jyp trainee since then? is that why her english is so good???

and wow, she really doesn't sound 10 in that video

if someone could help me here... I saw a few clips of katie kim and seunghwan where they talked about her diet and I think he showed his dorm (?), but I watched the first episode when the subs were out and there was nothing...
