Preview episode 7
Next episode, we'll see BtoBxSKZxATZ and IkonxSF9xTBZ participate in a rap, dance and vocal competition (ft. Bobby's disappointing hair and a performance of Exo's Wolf).
Episode 6 is available with english subtitles at Kshow123
Soompi reports that all groups have tested negative for Covid after a dancer of The Boyz crew tested positive (see Omona post here). Members Kim Donghyuk (Ikon), Yoo Taeyang (SF9) and Juyeon (The Boyz) have been identified as persons who have come into close contact with the case and will have to self-quarantine for 14 days. The rest of the groups will continue their activities as scheduled.

Date: 2021-05-08 10:54 am (UTC)this episode was pretty fun, seeing the groups interact a bit more, trolling changmin by grabbing every moment to use banmal to cheer on q/changmin (who is such a cutie!), and the painful moments for the groups private parts in the first round.. tbz' kevin carried this episode together with, as always, btob... i love eunkwang
i absolutely agree with minhyuk being voted first place as visual king because he was sooo hot this episode, but sf9 not making the f4 of visuals is inexplicable to me! (i might be biased but still expected hwiyoung, yoo taeyang or jaeyoon to make it) if rowoon would've attended.....
kind of excited to see the rap mess of the next episode, weirdly looking forward to the wolf performance and the other dance performance. i don't really understand still how this episode will work point-wise and i feel like a no-limit stage benefits certain groups over others but i know i should stop expecting fairness in this competition. i also feel weird about 3 pretty foundational members to 3 groups' performances having to quarantaine for 2 weeks while they have to prepare for their final stage

Date: 2021-05-08 01:23 pm (UTC)i know! to be fair with 4th place having 3 votes i assume the vote was very spread around ....and maybe they are all just too jealous of their height lol

Date: 2021-05-08 11:22 am (UTC)I don't even watch any type of sports lmao but I watched this. I liked everyone just chilling and interacting with each other, even trolling Changmin every time Q came out. I too was simping for Minhyuk and he rightfully deserves visual king!! Also, tf mnet, you had footage of hwiyoung and you decided to release it in this way? Devious. (Jongho was a mood waxing poetic about him, and it made me excited to watch Imitation, which I did right after haha)
I feel like the division of teams for the 3rd round feels kind of uneven, but I can't really explain it. I'm still excited to see how it's going to pan out, though I did worry about the possibility of certain... stylistic choices for the rap units (fingers crossed that there are none of those choices). Vocal units are giving me IU and Taeyeon songs, so I'm just hoping it all works out (also, I still have no clue who's representing SF9 for vocal since they didn't show anyone aside from Hwiyoung for them in the teaser).
Mnet remains a mess considering they won't move the filming of the final stage despite the situation, and it sucks. I can only hope that everyone prepares safely and that everyone can finally be free of the show (and have better careers domestically and internationally too, since that's the real prize lbr)

Date: 2021-05-08 01:29 pm (UTC)this is me but i don't get it either i also have this feeling they've ended up grouping the more extroverted groups in one division and the shier ones in the other it'll be interesting to see how they all work together.

Date: 2021-05-08 01:37 pm (UTC)good point about the division of teams, i had the same feeling (i was also a bit disappointed that we will again be missing out on sf9 x btob interactions). they do feel unequally balanced both in terms of screentime they've been getting on the show as well as appreciation of their performances by the show and the other groups from a fan standpoint, i'm a bit worried for next episode
it's pretty weird that they didn't show who would represent sf9 in the previews for dance and vocals? i mean, it's obvious it's taeyang for dance but for vocals? inseong or maybe jaeyoon?
no subject
Date: 2021-05-08 04:25 pm (UTC)And me too tbh, I was rooting for some SF9 and BTOB together, but apparently mnet doesn't like comedy lol. Basically one side has most of the advantageous groups in different factors, and welp. Yeah.
I thought it would be Inseong, but then news of Jaeyoon leaving a schedule on his own surfaced so now idk

Date: 2021-05-08 11:51 am (UTC)favourite moments were
i also generally think that i am not impressed by men doing sports things but i cant lie i was weirdly affected by how good minhyuk and bang chan were at the vault and it was more fun to watch than i expected. i was also very impressed by wooyoung and taeyang in the relay! like i knew both of them were fit but i dont think ive ever seen either of them run like that before
my comment about visuals is too long rip i'll post it separately
and for next week i still, even after watching with subs, dont really understand how the points are working but excited to see collab stages in general!

Date: 2021-05-08 01:44 pm (UTC)i was wondering watching this episode whether i saw freckles on felix!!! soooo cute i'm so sad it was covered with makeup. minhyuk and felix confessing their love and appreciation for each other in this episode made me regain some hope that there are men with taste on this show
i agree with most of this list but i think i would swap felix for han, he and bang chan were the two skz members that caught my eye watching this show. felix such a cutie too but not really my type
(just a thought: yoo taeyang with a waist chain???)
in the pictures of ateez you chose are really good! i feel like on this show, they are wearing a lot of heavy makeup (especially for their eyebrows) which i feel like doesn't always show off their visuals very well
no subject
Date: 2021-05-08 02:33 pm (UTC)(just a thought: yoo taeyang with a waist chain???)
keep these dangerous thoughts to yourself <3 lmao his waist is tiny enough he does not need to draw more attention to it i wont allow it
ateez are honestly such a beautiful group! i also wanted to include yunho and wooyoung in the top 10 as well but 2 was enough lol and agreed i think they look better with much lighter/natural looking makeup

Date: 2021-05-08 12:32 pm (UTC)When Eunkwang was asked what his position is in BTOB, of course he answered he's the visual of the team! Changmin was lost for a bit LOL
Visual King Ranking
1. BTOB Minhyuk (I'd choose Sungjae if he's here)
2. SF9 Chani
3. ATEEZ Seonghwa
I don't think I have an athletic bone in my body so I've always stayed away from doing any kind of sports but enjoy watching a lot since we watch a lot at home specially basketball and volleyball (I grew up with 3 older brothers and a father whos into cycling since his teens that tour de france is part of regular tv). College volleyball is our favorite and watch it together.

Date: 2021-05-08 01:31 pm (UTC)i loved how everyone clapped too agreeing with him, eunkwang looked so cheeky too making the joke
btob clowning changmin this episode was really my favorite, he looked so done lol

Date: 2021-05-08 01:44 pm (UTC)I expected Eunkwang (and the rest of BtoB) to vote for Eunkwang in the visual ranking lol But apparently it was Sf9 and The Boyz who did it.
Personal visual ranking:
1. Minhyuk (Pretty/cute face, hot body, nice personality. He's got everything)
2. Juyeon (That kid is so hot)
3. Taeyang (Rowoon is gorgeous, but Taeyang is more my style. Jaeyoon's booty is SF9's visual king tho)
4. Seonghwa (So pretty, he looks good in anything they give him. San & Wooyoung are also gorgeous to me)
5. Felix (I have 0 attraction to him, but he's such a pretty kid)
Changsub is the visual king in my heart thoOmona, are you good at sports?
I used to be, but my uni days completly destroyed my phisical form lol

Date: 2021-05-08 03:59 pm (UTC)lol true though
i am usually not that much of a butt girl myself but for jaeyoon i make an exception
no subject
Date: 2021-05-08 04:22 pm (UTC)I forgot to mention how gorgeous he looked in this episode, the plain white t-shirt+tight jeans look works for him really good.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-08 04:20 pm (UTC)wooyoung is an underrrated visual he's so pretty
like juyeon i love someone with a strong nose <3

no subject
Date: 2021-05-08 05:47 pm (UTC)also I'm tired of btob getting snatched by skz and atz when those are poor choices and they don't match. tho I'm mainly I'm mainly bitter they can't work with tbz bc of it bc vocally they're the best teams on the show
no subject
Date: 2021-05-08 05:53 pm (UTC)btob trolling Changmin is A+. they know how to liven up the atmosphere and seem like a good bridge for super seniors and juniors to get closer without any awkwardness.
they need to do acapella together w/ Changmin somehow after the show ends w/ Hyunsik and Sungjae out bc he's the biggest DBSK fanboyI'm so glad Minhyuk and Peniel did really well without hurting themselves. Minhyuk has had a lot of practice on good vaulting technique, but I'm surprised Peniel did so well in all of the games (all those gym gains)
why are so many groups (like SF9) wearing jeans to vault?! I'm sure they're not jegging materials so I wonder what their coordis were thinking
Eunkwang's reaction to getting 4th for visual (before knowing the # of votes) is 30% flattered 70% embarrassed "i don't belong here" lol. It's funny to see how shy Minhyuk was too. In BTOB, he's usually overshadowed by Sungjae as the visual due to his height
I think they should have done this after the first introductory To the World performance just so they and the viewers could get to know all the groups to make the other episodes less boring and more interactive. It's hard sitting through a lot of group performances/decision making when you're not invested.
