  1. Gyuri was laughing because of Noe's entrance during elims :') They were such great friends, I was so sad to see Noe eliminated - and MNet brushed over it like it was nothing, for some reason
  2. I see what you're saying, but this article (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-tolbert/japans-apology-to-south-k_b_9111566.html) [not that the Huffington Post is a particularly reliable source, but it's what I could find quickly] has more insight on the situation. + tl;dr They only apologized for the military's involvement, not the government's involvement (and Japan's involvement) in the "comfort stations" system/network so naturally, it's not a very CLEAR apology or one that covers all/most of the bases. and well, even though this is between SK/Japan, they don't mention the comfort women in China/the Philippines/etc., so it doesn't seem like very... genuine overall
  3. I understand what you're saying and I don't think any of this should be dragged into an entertainment show, but there's still a lot of distrust between Korea and Japan, given that the Japanese government hasn't really apologized or done anything after they basically invaded and massacred large parts of Korea and other countries. It's not "stupid" to still distrust Japan for those reasons, and it's understandable that Koreans are wary of any Japan-Korea interactions, even if it's not really a political thing. There's been a lot of controversy over PD48 for many reasons (and this is one of them) and there'll be controversy over the final group for the same reasons, and roping the Korea-Japan tension into PD48 is really teetering the line between irrational and... justified, in a way.
  4. the comments on kaeun's naver fancam are so... awful. idrc who's writing them or what motive they have but it's literally 100,000 comments to 300,000 views and nearly all of the top comments are degrading and horrible. i get that it's some kind of sick "project" but still, i hope she never ever sees them
  5. late to the party but yoo minyoung snatched during that heize performance, what a queen. she shot up my (unrealistic) top twelve at the speed of light
  6. tbh i love the current top 4 (maybe not the exact order they're in but just... the top 4) and ik mnet has tricked me again but i'm just so attached to them now
  7. All your points make sense, considering I don't really know the timeline of the show. I just thought that since––for example––Chaeyeon was on Sixteen, she would at least have some sort of fanbase there at the performance. She was pretty visible anyway because she did a lot of the major parts of the choreography and the high note at the end, and I know that she was eliminated in the first round unlike Somi and others. + I thought things would be different with Alex Christine and others, but I know that they're not well known to Koreans so i should have expected that things would go differently
  8. I'm late to the party but here are just some thoughts–– my heart broke for choyeon and it totally wasn't her fault, I just felt so horrible when her team sort of unanimously turned against her thinking it was all for the best. i'm honestly not sure why only sakura broke the 100+ mark on her team, I thought most of her team would get 50-70 votes at least just because of popularity; i thought everyone performed the song well but there was just something (?) i can't put my finger on missing also: I've been a hardcore wonyoung stan from the beginning but honestly, she kind of killed it in that VVV performance. and so did hitomi and yena, they just shined on stage in totally different ways and I kept getting hyper-excited whenever they popped up on screen. you could tell the girls on their team were confident and HAPPY on stage, and that made all the difference in terms of aura high tension! miyu! girin-chan! the outfits! I'm a fan of AOA (Short Hair, Like A Cat) so I was expecting a lot but they just naturally killed it (leader Sian rise) and Peek-a-Boo team two slayed me, I seriously love them but no one can top legend Nako with her Yuju pigtails looking forward to the position evaluation (and some of the main vocal-material trainees to finally come through) but not looking forward to the elimination (so many talented girls crying, it'll break my heart just like the other seasons) edited: there was this girl in the first mamma mia team and she's a great dancer and i'm head over heels for her her eyes are so beautifullllll
  9. that's exactly what I thought, I assumed they would get more votes than some of the Japanese trainees who got a lot but apparently that wasn't the case :/ they really did work hard though I'm proud of them
  10. I think so too? she caught my eye in episode three because she was just so adorkable in a good way, she kind of reminds me of a shorter tomboyish doyeon
  11. I lowkey ship Sakura/Kaeun from PD48
  12. I don't know why Hyunjoo is called Miss Giggles all the time when in the special, she admitted that she never noticed how much she laughs and that she saw herself as more chic/aloof. I feel like some people always assumed that she giggled/laughed to "dumb herself down" or because she didn't have anything interesting to say, but I don't think that's true, and I don't think it's fair that they're trying to like degrade her in a way. When I want to impress someone or when I'm feeling uncomfortable/flustered (there's a lot of different situations) I always laugh/smile or my voice becomes really high-pitched, so I think it's the same for her
  13. to be completely fair, hyunjoo said that they were taking a break because they couldn't go on dates without being followed (and presumably harassed) and i think that would have taken a toll on hyunwoo especially. and you should watch the special if you didn't already, it was very sweet and NOT mostly hyunjoo/dogyun, it really was an OT8 (OT7?) kind of deal. like there were a lot of friendshippy moments with jangmi/dogyun/gyubin, youngjoo/jaeho, hyunjoo/jaeho, daeun/jangmi, stuff that we didn't get to see in the show
  14. I literally can't figure out how to send a PM, something is clearly broken, but maybe you could try? I saw your post from like three months ago asking for TWICE fanfics and I have a lot of recs, if you're interested <3

      I think you need to clear out your PMs

      I can't even find the Messenger button anymore. . . that's really strange

  15. aww, I'll miss your comments––they were always so gracious, and you were always so level-headed and fair to all of the inhabitants of Signal House I was just a silent observer most of the time, but I noticed how polite and kind you were. I hope you come back for S3 (I'm wondering whether or not to even watch S3 myself?) but even if you don't, I hope YOU walk a flower path in the future as well!
  16. I'm a pretty lowkey YJ/HW shipper, but I still think I'm only attached to them because I get attached to things super easily. I'm not completely sold on YJ/HW yet as a couple (even though I adore both of them separately) and I'm keeping my mind open but I was looking for posts on here that discussed HJ/HW because something about their date felt right for me. They seemed natural and comfortable with each other, and HW opened up pretty easily to HJ (not sure if that's a romantic thing, or just a 'I'm-comfortable-with-you' kind of thing, because HJ is definitely the person in the relationship who tries to make the other person comfortable, at all costs.) From personal experience, I don't think it's great to take things too fast at the beginning––maybe HW-YJ are just too in love with each other, because they're part of this whirlwind rollercoaster romance that's perfect for TV ratings, but maybe not so perfect for real life. I feel like HW-HJ understand each other very well, even if it's just in a platonic way, and I actually have a lot of things I want to say about them, but I can't find the right ways to express it. Also: are you Korean? Your translation was perfect.
  17. I watched the pilot season of Romance Package (with Han Hyejin––I'm still so upset she had to leave and I miss her so so much) but now I'm catching up on the latest episodes and I don't like it nearly as much as Heart Signal, it's much more anticlimatic (which is the point, I know, because it's mostly speed dating) and I feel like deeper connections are formed in Heart Signal S1 and S2. I agree that the constrictions and rules are getting in the way of YJ/HW, but I'm not sure that they would do better in a Romance Package-like setting because you get to know the other person for only a week (?) and it's mostly just very staged, forced activities and events anyway. So I'm glad that they're on Heart Signal and not on some other show.
