But looking at the show, it seems like they already recorded a lot of songs as a group already. Plus YG let them perform as a group at the family concerts and he mentioned them as one of the groups possibly debuting this year. So, it makes sense that they thought he'd let them just debut as a group after working extra hard after WIN. Plus, this kid is only 16-17. How maturely is he supposed to handle this?

I think people really underestimate Jinhwan's role in the group. To me, his main role is to be the team's balance. That one fight they had during WIN when B.I. started spiraling into despair after that last minute song change threatened their performance, really showed how important Jinhwan was in being the calm voice of reason. These boys are pretty energetic and they really need Jinhwan's calm presence. Plus, he's a nice little dancer. His voice is a little lacking to me, but it can hit some sweet spots and he might have more improvements up his sleeve- we'll have to wait for more performances to find out.

No offense to Yun Hyeong but I've never thought he was actually the visual. That position should be apparent from just looking at the group. The visual immediately stands out because of their arresting looks- that's how they attract people to get interested in the group. Jinhyeong actually possesses those types of good looks. I think YunH can be very good looking with proper styling but he doesn't really immediately catch the eye so far. Something really needs to be done with his hair and they do his makeup entirely wrong because he looks way better fresh-faced.

Good point! When I think favorably about Donghyuk's voice, I think about that airy tone he has like in Climax. It's really pretty and dreamy- not at all like Jinhwan's tone either. Now that would be a great addition to iKon songs. So Donghyuk and Jihnwan's voice do sound alike in certain aspects but their voices do have their own unique charms as well. I think we need more songs by them to evaluate. YG GIVE US MORE SONGS!!!

Okay. Is this GD animal thing something new? Because as far as I know, that couple from Eat Your Kimchi or whatever said they went to Dolce Vita and the animals looked a little neglected but not too bad off and that when they went, Gd's parents weren't there at the time so it might have just been that whoever was managing things in their place might not have been doing their job. However, I've never heard this from anyone else. All the other fanaccounts I've read or pictures I've seen of the animals look fine. So is there anything new to add, or is Gd just getting crapped on in the Bigbang thread again for no reason?

There's quite a bit of Donghyuk in that teaser. He's actually the one in the black and white striped shirt. Plus he was the first name after our confirmed trio. His placement in the The Beginning teaser was really good too, he was shown close up right after the trio. I wonder if he's improved a lot. I loved his sound in Climax and his personality stands out in the group.

That would be perfect! Nothing brings in the fangirls like the oppa equivalent of a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets. I can totally see it

Is it just me or does he look a lot like Seo In Guk? His acting just reminded me of Seo In Guk in King of High School. For reference:

The choice of music and style of shooting for The Beginning opening seems somewhat in line for that B.I./Bobby SMTM clip yg put up. Maybe that's the kind of vibe he sees for the boys? If so, please and thank you!!!

I like iKon. It'll be easy to do an internet search on and it doesn't have too many syllables. I think it's better than Nu World.

Yeah.... sorta apprehensive over Jinny being confirmed before Junhwe when vocally Junhwe brings so much more to the table. But maybe Jinny's improved so much that YG feels confident in what he'll do for the group. I still can't imagine Junhwe not making it but the mere possibility of it happening makes me so anxious. I'd almost rather they had no one confirmed. It already feels like the unconfirmed trainees are running at a loss.

Yeah, I hope however the final lineup ends up, the group ends up with people who are right for the team. Someone can have amazing vocals but their voice might not match the musical style of the rest. Someone can have fairly weak vocals but add a unique sound that works well with the team. For example, Seungri has a pretty weak voice but he does have a really sweet vocal tone in certain areas that can really make some songs pop well (like Blue). Of course, having an amazing voice and working well with the team aren't mutually exclusive. Let's hope for both!

I'm excited for the show because that's one step closer to debut for the boys. However, can't say anything about the new guys until they show us what they've got. I also, don't want to look at these new kids and overemphasize their favorability just because they're new. Always had a more favorable impression of Donghyuk than of YunHyeong. He seems to have a more recognizable personality. The guys seem to think Yunhyeong is a funny guy and I've seen he do maybe 2 or 3 funny things but the rest of the time he doesn't stand out. I don't have any definite conclusions on either of them though because we really haven't seen enough of them to judge. Gonna keep my eyes on those two when the show airs. I hope they blow my expectations out of the water!

Bruce Lee really puts the 'art' in 'martial art'. It's like body poetry.

I don't know. It seems like there's more evidence to the contrary. It's easy to say that when no one else does as well as GD or has written hits like GD. Maybe she knows what she's talking about. I know a lot of artists who are paid attention to no matter what they come out with because they've had past hits and people trust their brand enough to check out their music. It's not uncommon at all.

I'm also rooting for Nyang and the Emperor. I like that he needs her and looks up to her to learn how to grow up. I also hate how after the king fell in love with her, she became completely helpless in his eyes. The Emperor still seems to trust her to protect him, even though he loves her. He's mainly trying to be a better man and a better Emperor because of her. The character is way more interesting. I think she's fond of the Emperor and happy they're on the same side for now, but she doesn't love him.

I'm surprised that people pick on Donghyuk's vocals more than Jinny's. If Jinny wasn't so integral to the team, his vocals would've made me want him out of the group. I see more chances for Donghyuk to improve than for Jinny. Donghyuk was actually belting in the finale and to me he sounded great. His "touch the sky" parts were awesome. His breathy tone sounded a lot stronger than I thought it would in Climax but still retained his soft tone (giving a dreamy effortless feel to the chorus). On the other hand, the only time Jinny sounded good to me was during Baby. This is alarming because Team B is not going to be singing songs that sound like Baby in the future. If it takes that kind of pop song with limited vocals for him to sound good, then he's got a lot to work on. His tone is similar to Taeyang but unlike Taeyang he has absolutely no power, so it comes out extremely thin. His thin voice is often drowned out by the music. On top of that he goes off pitch constantly. Since he didn't have this problem singing Baby, it leads he to think he's pushing his voice to do things it's not capable of (at the moment) and that's why he goes off pitch. I still have hope for him, but to me he's the most worrying vocalist. If his breathing improves that could make a great difference in his singing. I often note him singing not from the gut but from his throat. Yunhyung's voice is a little bland but he really connects in that mid range between Junhwe and Jinny. Also, he's able to belt with power- just not stability. His range can probably be broadened with practice. He struggles to go lower or higher. Sound good in his mid sweet spot though. Another vocalist might be too much for this group. I don't think anyone should be replaced. From a vocalist point of view if someone had to be replaced it should be Jinny and not Donghyuk (his dreamy tone could make for some interesting songs once he gets better). However, I love Jinny and know that he's essential to the group dynamic- therefore no one should get replaced or added.

I really like the IC song. The chorus with all the "hong, hong, hong" stuff is catchy. Glad to see alot of people enjoying GD on the show. That boy always represents

It's really something. It went down out of the top ten when the troublemaker songs were released. Later it went back up and is now at 8 on Melon. So very very nice.

Really interesting to see the song go up like that and not drop immediately down after a couple of days. I thought the competition was tough because of Busker Busker and IU.
