Strobe

A great song! I had a bit of a bad impression of the group based on the premise of the show but this song made me really look forward to their debut.

Wow deserved! She got a lot of lines in their recent comeback as well.

The pitch correction on the Sketchbook, Masked Singer and Duet Festival have always been painfully obvious. You don't really need comparison of "raw footage" to hear it if you have a bit of a trained ear. I understand that people feel that it's disingenuous and deceiving if you take these shows at face value. I think you just have to be aware that the people singing on TV and in studio mixed songs with multiple takes don't actually sound exactly like that. There is also a fear that we become to used to this sound so that real live is never good enough. I also think that it's sad that it's difficult to find real live singing in Kpop sometimes. On the other hand, I don't mind it if a performance is tweaked as long as the audience knows that it has been tweaked. It makes it way more pleasant to listen to. Who wants to listen to off-key high notes and flat singing?

For people caring about vocals and what notes they are hitting. I actually went back and forth between Yuri and Haeyoon to compare and listen on the clip and Yuri sang it in a lower key. I believe Yuri's highest note in that episode was E and the actual note is F# in the original key, one whole step higher. Yuri has proved that she can sort of reach an F#, in her adlib in To Reach You where she just slightly "touches" the note so I believe with some practice she should be able to reach the high notes in We Together. (Goeun actually "only" sang an E in To Reach You.) That said, no person on this show doesn't strain up in that range. I just pitchmatched the notes on the piano but do correct me if I'm wrong.

I really wanted Eunchae to make it. I believe she would have made it if their performance got aired first. Instruction team got robbed.

I've noticed these, err, balls at the sides of the mouth (for a lack of a better word) on a lot of idols. Are these completely natural? I've always wondered about this. https://twitter.com/seolhyunpics/status/1006206347862425602 https://twitter.com/lisianthus_0619/status/891691589717770240 EDIT: I can't get the embedding to work. Sorry T_T

Yeah, I don't think there is any particular dislike towards Mina in the fandom. Personally, I think they could have cheered on her part during the verse so that she would be cheered on at least one of her singing parts but I also see why they choose not to have any screaming there due to the point I menitioned before.

I don't think there is a deeper meaning other than that her singing parts don't fit to scream over. EDIT: To clarify, it's not that her singing parts are bad. One of them is a build up part and the other one is in the Chorus and none of these are the typical parts you would cheer on.

Her voice sounds so good on the OST! I can't wait for the whole song.

I haven't seen their album on spotify. I used to listen to Love Shake on Spotify before, so I was disappointed when I couldn't find DC's songs there.

Thank you! I guess I'll have to search around a bit more for the rest.

This album is really good! I like all of the tracks. I searched through the thread but I couldn't find a post for the credits of all the tracks. Does anyone know where I can read through all the credits?

I agree. Stronger eye makeup and dark lipstick fit her stage character very well.

Oooh, Chandong took part in writing the lyrics for the second track! Unless there's another Lee Chandong....

Ah, I forgot. But considering that Nayoung had a line and she didn't get any screentime during her part, lines aren't everything when it comes to screntime. It's too bad that she didn't get to sing though.

Look on the bright side, she got a lot of screentime during that stage. At least IOI themselves know that ITNW is Yeonjung's iconic cover and let her shine during their part by letting her be the center during the chorus in the middle of IOI. I think that's meaningful.

I'm from Sweden! EDM is really popular here and this genre sounds familiar to most young people.

I've been craving a co-ed group for so long and here it is. I love everything so far! The concept, genre, visuals, singing and rapping; it's so fitting. I hope the reaction is good and that they're getting enough attention in Korea for DSP to fully debut them. If they keep releasing good songs, then I'm totally going to follow them. There is so much potential, and if DSP can execute their promotion right, I think they could hit it pretty big.

Thank you!

Can someone point out all the shops that report sales and stuff when you buy albums? I've seen the page on the fancafe regarding buying Mamamoo's albums but I'm still confused about Hanteo and Gaon - as in which one is most important because it looks like all websites do not report to both so I don't know where I should buy kpop albums. I want to make sure that they count towards music shows as well.

The IS2 performance wasn't as good as it could have been, considering the members capabilities. They didn't have a mindblowing arrangement and there's only so much you can do with that.

Hello! I'm a lurker from Yeonjung's thread and will be lurking around here too... I'm super excited for this release! Their base concept (space/galaxy) is still there but now in an upgraded version and I love it. Yeonjung's comet introduction is so cool and it seems there will be some cool lore/plot in the MV. The concept, song and MV look amazing so far. Hopefully they can gain attention and do well this comeback! I'm really curious about the choreography. Does anyone know who the choreographer is?

Did their sales improve since Sting? The donating threshold for an album was much higher this time so maybe more people bought it instead of donating for it.

Yup. They are a project group consisting of high ranking contestants from P101.
