damn i almost cried i miss hong kong so much like my heart was actually hurting

i like it? i think hip hop unit do best with more slow chill kind of beats, and this felt like one to me? idk i'll have to listen to it again i was too busy just watching the music video

btw mingyu's hair doesn't exist to me

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

i suddenly don't know a seventeen

(the mv is nice but the song is awful and so is mingyu's hair. i was looking forward to their comeback but now idk what to expect LMAO)

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

i feel like it's just a hhu thing, they always come out w the most weak material compared to the other units

[staaan.livejournal.com]

they really do tbh :/ i love the original version of mansae but i can't stand the hip hop team version

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

i've suppressed that

[lovely4evr.livejournal.com]

the one on the album? i thought it was so cute ;-;

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

performance unit's songs are still the weakest imo, hiphop unit at least gave us fronting. idk i didn't expect much but i was still disappointed. i used to like vernon's rap but lately he's been getting on my nerves

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

they really should! coups should never rap and just sing and mingyu... idk.. he's one of my faves but i'd rather he didn't get any lines lmao.

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

hoshi and woozi made fronting, like i never even considered it a hhu song bc it was good which is sad

performance unit is capable of so much more but theyre always given the worst songs or non songs (shining diamonds remix??) i dont even count them when it comes to songs tbh

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

I listened to their mixtapes pre-debut and honestly had no problem with Vernon's rapping...like what happened?

[epona.livejournal.com]

except fronting which is one of svt's best songs

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

eh tbh the fact that it wasn't strictly a hhu song is what made it great

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

Too much Vernon but I'm still jamming
Mingyu's haircut actually bothers me more than the color lol
Wonwoo is so fucking gorgeous, I have tears in my eyes

lmao hhu is so soft

[swegkitten.livejournal.com]

idek what to think of the song except that it's real chill but what i came here to say is
WHO DID THAT TO MINGYU'S HAIR WHAT THE FUCK

[yoonjeonghan.livejournal.com]

i don't care for rap at all so the song is whatever to me but i like the visuals
i actually really like mingyu's hair colour, it glows so nicely in the light! the only thing wrong with it is the cut and the styling but the colour is fine...

also the little sleeping moments r so cute

[agjingi.livejournal.com]

damn Wonwoo
damn Seungcheol
poor Mingyu aaand yet he still manages to pull it off at times especially with the eyeliner

they can miss me with the song :)

When Pledis ruined After School I stayed silent

When Pledis destroyed Orange Caramel I bite my lip.

But ruining Mingyu with this hideous hair? That's just going to far Pledis. Too far.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

i'm not a big fan of the song but since it's just a mixtape idec. they all look good but mingyu's hair is atrocious, i hate the color with a burning passion

[yoonjeonghan.livejournal.com]

burning like mingyu's hair? :')

[staaan.livejournal.com]

(jk jk)

[yoonjeonghan.livejournal.com]

ehehe sorry, sorry 😇

[717cm.livejournal.com]

idc for the song but i wanna see the live, watching hhu perform is always fun

mingyu's voice sounds strangely processed?? i couldnt tell it was him at first. the mv is really pretty

[saltyaf.livejournal.com]

i only like the 'i check-in (insert countries part)'.

honestly their best mv. everything's great except for mingyu's hair and the song.

tbh, none of them are particularly good in rapping so i'll just continue admiring wonwoo.

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

visual unit

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I like your analysis!
Mingyu's part sounded kinda strange, but I thought it was because of how they processed his voice. I liked his rap in Fronting.
Vernon cannot stay on beat properly oh no, this gives me flashbacks to smtm.

[meeeeeeshell.livejournal.com]

Pretty much everyone's saying the same, but that hair colour on Mingyu is truly terrible lmao. That face, though. It's almost infuriating how he never looks bad even when he's a giant walking Cheeto. Ugh Wonwoo go away please. I'm always not ready for your face! Seungcheol should have his fringe down all the time. Hansol looks great. And I see the usual ship pandering, Pledis.

What else is there to talk about? Oh, the song lmao. Umm yeah, it was...meh. But then again I've never been a fan of rap-heavy songs, even though the hip-hop unit has 3 of my favourite Seventeen members in it. I won't talk about rap ability because I believe we all know the boys are passable at best. I still think Hansol has promise, though, and I'm aware I'm saying this as someone with non-discerning ears when it comes to rap lol. I thought Mingyu's "OHHHH YEAH!" part was really cringey lmao.

I've heard that the boys are apparently coming back in December? I'm ready!

[luxelet.livejournal.com]

VOCAL VERNON back at it again

i seriously loveeeee the visuals of this omg they hired a great director although i loled at the lines about seoul with hong kong shots in the bg

but seriously such a pretty mv

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

I can't even watch the video cuz I'm at work but I feel like I already know how this will sound based of the comments. I like wonwoos rapping for shallow reasons, he's got a nice voice and he's my favorite part in "ah yeah" he literally saved that song for me even though I still don't like it that much. I know Vernon and wonwoo actually are passionate about rapping so I hope they improve. I honestly find vernons voice the most grating to the ears and he always ends up with most lines. I can also see from the comments that he has more cringeworthy English in his parts as well. :/ I'll give it a chance but although I like everyone in seventeen (wonwoo being one of my favorite)the hiphop unit is the weakest in my opinion. Yeah the performance unit doesn't get the best songs but when they perform/dance (mama awards last year) they are great.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I like the lyrics (those that I understand), name-dropping all these cities they performed in is pretty cool. And the MV is SO beautiful, like, please take me to all those places.

[cosmicjam.livejournal.com]

This mv was so pretty with the scenery and direction. I'm not big on hip hop in general but this sounded nice even if some bits sounded a bit off.

Yeah the hair w/that haircut is not a good look but i think Mingyu worked it and i don't even mind it as much anymore. Also apparently it wasn't for this mv and it won't be for the comeback so i wonder what they changed it for

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

I finally watched it...Too much Vernon, not enough Wonwoo. (don't hate me I do like Vernon but he had half the song...) I do like the check-in part...thats about it.

[antrea.livejournal.com]

the mv is so nice but the song was very messy?
I don't even know how they managed to get such a weird bright shade of color on a human being's hair

[otraera.livejournal.com]

I love this
Everything Is so good!!!

[milkfloo.livejournal.com]

i like the mv! the song's ... ok.
they did mingyu so dirty. the hair color is awful on him and his voice is almost unrecognizable.

[kersekie.livejournal.com]

I don't know how to describe this other than it's really cringy.
Mingyu's part scared me so bad why would they have him start by yelling like that with so much autotune

[dropthecrates.livejournal.com]

why is s.coups the only name at the bottom of the last scene
mingyu's hair was almost looking bearable in motion and then his wailing began my lord. whoever autotuned his voice is so rude

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

their names are all there on each corner, it's a bit hard to see

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

I actually really like Vernon's rapping. I like the song sans Wonwoo's parts.
