Wow... impeccable timing from YG.. Still 8 more Thursday's to go until Nov 13 (including today), which means Mix and Match will end its 10-episode run on the 13th and 2 days later the final lineup will be performing at Big Bang's Japan tour.

I think Jinhyeong sounds okay. Song wasn't really a great one to showcase vocals. Chanwoo is horrible though. Another Chipmunk voice.

Anyone know how Jinhyung is being received on the Korean boards/news sites?

Have the trio been told that they have confirmed to debut yet?

No, I would rather they be great vocalists and bad dancers. We hear the vocals in the music.. dance is just there to enhance a performance. The music is the most important aspect.

I'm afraid that Jinhyung's reputation is beyond repair because of the false rumors. Such a pity because he's the one i'm most excited about. I hate that this is 70% viewers vote because it leaves the new trainees at a massive disadvantage, though i believe that YG may rig it in the end.

This. Think Chanwoo stands the least to lose since he can always go into acting. Think that is where his heart is at anyways. Same for Yoyo, personally think that music is just his shortcut to being able to act. Like what I'm hearing about Hongseok+Jinhyeong sounds like a solid vocalist.

Doubt all of OT6 will remain because of the negative press that will definitely come from that. Probably be June, Donghyuk + Hongseok and Jinhyung. Too early to tell but Chanwoo seems like a filler member whilst Yoyo seems the most likely to go because Donghyuk (imo) has a slight vocal edge, but much could have changed since WIN.

Really surprised about the ot6 supporters using the 'other groups are the same' excuse to justify keeping the weaker members of the team instead of bringing in a stronger vocalist. Just because Big Bang, Winner etc. may have started with a weak vocal line doesn't mean that Team B should the same.. the aim should be to have the strongest, most well-rounded group possible. Why do the weaker members deserve to debut ahead of better trainees? Because fans have developed an attachment to them? rubbish. That said, I fully support the weaker members to prove us all wrong and show their worth. Thats the whole point of the program - allow them to show how much they deserve to be in it. And don't pull that 'established group dynamic' crap because none of us know how well the new trainees will mesh with the rest of the members. Who knows - they may just be able to contribute more and work better. Tbh, Donghyuk and Yunhyung were extremely complacent during WIN and didn't offer much in terms of ideas etc. so what are they bringing to this 'group dynamic'?

Probably off-topic but recently because of SMTM3 and everything I'm starting to wonder if it would be better if YG went back to its roots and debuted a pure rap/hip-hop group with Bobby, B.I, another rapper + Junhwe thrown into the mix to provide vocal relief. I mean, Double B seem much more interested in pursuing a more rap-centered musical career and forcing them into an 'idol' group may limit their talents.

How many are left? And why was BI eliminated over YJD?

If it just me or is YG Life crashing. Love it! :D

Counter is up! 12 hours to go!

I don't know what YG has against releasing on Mondays, when the charting period for each week begins.

His last performance for SMTM was great. Went out with a bang. I hope the Netizen comments are good. Hope Bobby goes all the way.

Is it confirmed that Empty will be the song that they will be promoting the most?

I dont know but I actually find nametag ripping boring now because they've done it so many times in the past that everything feels repetitive and predictable. I guess thats why the PD's decided to change it up and drop the nametag ripping aspect of the game and make RM more mini-game oriented. I think they should bring back the bells hide-and-seek because its been a while since we've had those, and if they want to do nametag ripping again, it has to be more complex with different rules etc. in order to keep the audience excited.

I like JHD but him and KHD is a very loud pairing... Anyways, such a pity that the soccer is ending soon because I preferred it much more to Taekwondo and I doubt Tennis will be as interesting, but I guess the low ratings for soccer meant that its time for a change.

Have you heard Tablo/Epik High's music though? Everything they release is deep lyrically. Even the stuff post-YG.

How many contestants are there left on SMTM3? Including Hanbin and Bobby.

Got7 seems to be doing better than their debut mini.

Why 1st August, though. Thats a friday, which would only give them only give them 3 days to sell first week.

Do they get royalties from all copyrighted songs?

I swear, everyone in this drama is immortal. How many times are they going to survive after falling into a river. The finale was extremely rushed. In fact, everything from the President's surgery onwards was incredibly rushed. Horrible time management by the writer, who spent 18 1/2 episodes detailing the competition and leaving only the last hour and a half for the main event.
