Wait what... Did they change their names?

I can't stop listening to these songs. They are such mindless jams.

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they changed their stage names for this "New Kids" series. I'm not sure if it's permanent, but they all have English names now. Bobby, BI, and Ju-ne stayed the same. The rest changed:

Jinhwan = Jay
Yunhyeong = Song
Donghyuk = DK
Chanwoo = Chan

[krissasaur]

Ju-ne is new to me too... The fuck. Was he the Junhoe one? IDK. I kind of remembered some names from when I watched some of WIN or w/e that show was.. and I was considering learning their names ~officially~ because of how much I love these two songs but.. I think I may pass now lmfao.

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

He debuted as Ju-ne. His name is romanized as Junhoe, but it's really pronounced as Ju-Ne / Junhwe.

[krissasaur]

Oh I see! Haha. I still may make and effort but... So confusing!

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

Haha I get you. It took me forever to learn Donghyuk and Yunhyeong's names, then just when I finally do, the company decides to do this change. I think it'll be easier to just learn their real names, since they aren't really using the new ones anyway (at least they didn't on vlive)

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

Wow theyre just gunna snatch seventeen' DK's name like that?

[nolza.livejournal.com]

who

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

There's only ONE DK, and he's in an actually successful group!

[nolza.livejournal.com]

i think you'll find the only relevant DK is Donkey Kong

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

Arent they flopping real bad?

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They make songs for the art, not for the charts now. haha

B.I said that if they don't do well this time, they can just try again. Not like they don't have the money for it.

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

thats what YG said about that other dude

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

But they have to wait before they can try again. For a couple of months or years.

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

It is how it is. I mean, most fans are just happy they're back and promoting right now. If they don't mind not charting, what does it matter?

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

Yeah I kinda agree. I'm not really big about rankings but it makes me happy coz it makes my faves happy. Other than that, for as long as they get to do the music they want and they love it...then go ahead.

[cakeeatingidol.livejournal.com]

For real. If they're having fun and like what they put out, then all the more for them,. I'm loving it, but I just love these kids so much and am happy to see them around.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I mean... 90% of the comments under their videos are fans being adamant that they're not flopping, which speaks for itself.

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

lol mte. Plus isn't Bobby racist?

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

when has that stopped anyone in kpop

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

That stage is rly small. o___O
Anyways, I'm glad they're back. They look like they're having fun at least.

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

Yeah this seemed particularly small and low budget. Is that normal for Music Core? Or are they cost cutting to splurge on the Inkigayo and Mcountdown stages?

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I just found it odd because YG tends to go all out for their stages, but yeah, maybe it's only for mcountdown and inkigayo.

[fleurist.livejournal.com]

i didn't realise how much i missed them until now :(

bday is such dumb fun and the chorus is borderline annoying but still rly fun, ili lmao

[otraera.livejournal.com]

Bobbys opening lines in bday reminds me so much of xxxtentacion

[miirae.livejournal.com]

bling bling is my main bop atm, i love it! i do think the stage looks rly low budget & they seem a lil nervous to me, but i'm still rly happy to see them. tho i don't understand why yg would basically pull them out of korea for this long & then not have them return with a bit more fanfare :/ they're barely doing any promotion as far as i can tell. looking forward to weekly idol tho!

also i'm personally a little offended that hanbin hasn't done his bourrrrrgeoisie shimmy in neither the dance practice or the perf lmao give it to me!!

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

why can't hanbin listen to me and dye his hair black

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

Nice stages!! The outfits were weird for me at first, but they come together with the stage + the choreo. Bling bling has slowly warmed up to me, but b-day is still the better track imo

I hope how they're doing makes YG wake up instead of sending them overseas for another yr lol. I'm so glad they're finally back though. That one digital release last yr with nothing else wasn't enough

[cakeeatingidol.livejournal.com]

I loved this performance! ALSO WHERE CAN I GET THE RED HOODIE I NEED IT IMMEDIATELY

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

I can't deny jams, so I'm enjoying these tracks.
