At first I thought it was going to be Team Korea vs. Team China, but it looks like they will collaborate with members of the other team. Personally, I think it makes it more interesting. Hopefully, we get more details soon.
If you know any of the Chinese participants please share more info in the comments^^
If i recall correctly, there was supposedly some type of drama concerning the recording of Team Korea introduction on may 26th, but i couldn't find the translations so i didn't post it.

I just wanna know what lifts Jay is wearing in this pic that he looks to be relatively equal in height to ZiMinYoon.


Edit: This show seems like it could be a lot of fun or really messy, maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be a mix of both. I don't love myself enough so visually at least, I'm into this.

[mireyaspain.livejournal.com]

I think its just the angle of the pic + the fact that hes first in line ^^
But he'll def need those insoles during this show cause the other 3 are tall compared to him

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

That makes more sense, it just looked so strange at first glance. And he will, as far as I know the other 3 are around 6ft so it may be noticeable lol.

Team Korea has ALL the makings of being a mess. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the track record....hmm.

I feel this is the dead ringer that I should forget about the rest of EXIT. Having hope is a fictional feeling.

[mireyaspain.livejournal.com]

I dont think itll be a mess...
As composers Mino & Seungyoon have Pricked Different love is a lie smile again & Zico has Fear Toy i am you you are me..just to name a few
As for jay, i know lately hes been working closely with ChaCha but if not mistaken he cocomposed i cant be without you (beautiful song ♡).
Im not saying they are perfect composers but i think theyve proven to have what it takes to deliver good songs.
Plus, from what i could gather of the info released so far, they wont be collaborating as a team but rather they'll be paired up with artists of the other team. Hence why i think this may be interesting.
Idk the Chinese artist well enough to judge them but i think they're all singers  (?)

I don't think they mean mess in terms of the producing quality, more so the 'cultural' aspects that (particularly) Zico and Jay tend to display in their music. I'm imagining dreadlocks, braids, grillz, awkwardly used slang... although I hope I'm wrong.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

I'm not talking about in terms of their production skills, because I'm aware of what they can do with music. I mean mess defining their performances/overall visuals when it comes to producing music that goes anywhere near Hip-Hop/R&B

Not saying that this is for sure what's happening here or WILL happen, but it definitely has the right ingredients.

What kinda willful ignorance?

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

Messy uncle Jay is the oldest here with quite of a gap with the rest, if they will make him a team captain or smth we know what aestethic gonna take over lol

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

hmmm i once read that yg will release the mythical EXIT:X after mino is done w/smtm5 but apparently he's not really involved there. so i this the actual reason??? anyway GET MONEY BOYS.

[mireyaspain.livejournal.com]

YG just declared that letters X,I,T have been taken out of the alphabet
RIP exit X,I,T

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

what? link pls? this is not that thing when someone said it's deleted form YG IG when it's never been there in the first place right?

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

Mess upon messiness.

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

Lol at Jay being in this.

[chouta-angel.livejournal.com]

oh man I forgot about this. No ones been talking about it for a couple of weeks and Zico's been working on other stuff since. Let me see if I can drag up some of the translated tweets.

You found the trans! Thanks
I knew there was some problem with 1st ep filming... but they havent gone to China yet to reshoot right?

[chouta-angel.livejournal.com]

lol, well it helps that I know the person who did 3/4 of these translations so it was more go looking through her twitter feed to find them and then the Mino translation was there too.

I can't speak about Jay/Mino/Seungyoon but I can about Zico and he hasn't been back to China since before KCON Paris. I haven't seen or heard anything about The Collaboration since either.

I like international collabs. Anybody have any news on the khalil fong x ziont collab that was announced last year?

[dafairyness.livejournal.com]

Khalil's double album will be out in September! https://www.instagram.com/p/BGao7UYJH7-/?taken-by=soulboykhalilfong&hl=en He's releasing a song a month until then but I'm not sure if the khalilxzion.txcrush collab will be one of them.

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

this sounds interesting for the china vs korea part, but i agree with the ppls saying that it is bound to be messy...

"At first I thought it was going to be Team Korea vs. Team China, but it looks like they will collaborate with members of the other team."

YES! That sounds even better!

Cautiously optimistic here~
