    is his name Yeo Hwanwoong or Yeo Hwanung

     

    cause produce 101 officially uses Yeo Hwanung but fans use Yeo Hwanwoong

     

    so i'm confused. i need to know my bias' real name.

     

     

    I would say Yeo Hwanwoong is a more "official/passport" style writing while Yeo Hwanung is a more "conventional" style writing. Both are the same names basically and pronounced the same way (Yeo Hwan Oong). You can use one or the other in terms of writing. smile.png

    Kinda more serious topic so putting this in spoiler. Contains context regarding some of the K-netz comments that have been posted about Produce 101 season 2 and comments not translated by Netizebuzz/Pannchoa/etc.

     

    Based on viewing, the meringue videos are subtly/not-so subtly made to be "fetish-y." The focus is primarily on their arm muscles/arm veins (finding arm veins masculine/hot is a thing in Korea) + on the concept of a man that can cook (which is also popular in Korea at the moment.) The videos are zoomed into the boys' arms as they are whipping to really drive in this point.

     

    This is interesting regarding the number one criticism the show has been getting from some K-netz since its conception: the sexist difference between season 1 and season 2. (Recently, there has been a boom of feminism and its awareness in Korea. Though it has always existed, it is getting more traction and focus now.) For Pick Me, season 1 girls (some of them who were minors) wore short skirts and sang in formal tone of them having dreams, and telling people older than them to touch them, to feel them, and to make their dreams come true by picking them. Some K-netz argued since the that this is fetishization (yes that is not a real word but lets pretend that it is) of the girls and making them essentially just products for people, especially guys, to pick up. This argument got backed up when the PD of season 1 straight up said the show was like "healthy porn for guys."

     

    For season 2 Pick Me, the guys are in long pants and shirts, singing in informal tone saying "I'm the main of this show. I'm gonna get you." Some K-netz found this unfair as the guys are not treated as products like the girls were, showing disparity between the treatment of males and females. This is why the Season 2 song has such a low rating on Melon. All the top comments/reviews on the song is about how unfair it is for Season 1 Pick Me to be full of fetishizing girls while the Season 2 Pick Me is not.

     

    Other issue that rose was the whole "the guys are ugly" comments. For the girls, they all had to be pretty and received a lot of hateful comments from mostly guys about their face/weight due to Korea's strict beauty standards. Some of the K-netz felt it was unfair that these boys who they thought were average looking/not so good looking were confidently singing "I am the main/I will win you." So in comments, they either brought this difference up by talking about how the beauty standards are not applied to the guys like they are to the girls. Or they tried to "make even" by posting comments saying the boys are ugly. (However, not all comments calling the boys ugly are rooted from this. Some are just posting the comments for the sake of posting hate comments).

     

    I'm not here to say that any hate comments are justifiable/fair. Just stating what I have seen over the past few weeks. smile.png

  3. I haven't watched/voted for Produce 101 Season 1. However I.O.I ended up becoming one of my favorite groups. I'm officially gonna watch/vote for season 2.

     

    So far my top choice (other than Jang Moonbok of course) is Joo Haknyeon. He's from a pig farm and feeds/likes pigs. As someone who is a huge fan of pigs, anyone who likes pigs is a WINNER in my book.

  4. The stream was fun! She was with her hubby I think <3 they were at a restaurant earlier too and she streamed there. the tiny bit of singing Hold the Line really got to my heart lol ... it's been so long since they sang any songs from the first two albums

     

    Same...got butterflies in my stomach

     

    I really wish when they perform again they perform a few songs from their first two albums...hell, even from their mini-albums. I haven't see them perform LOVE, My Style, or How Come in years... even though those songs were actual hits too

  5. Go to Narsha's Instagram right now!!! She's doing a little live...and right now she is singing Gain's Carnival!

     

    [Edit] She stopped singing but she's still doing a little talk show.

     

    [Edit 2] She just sang the chorus of Hold the Line live omg... #tbt

     

    [Edit 3] She's basically doing a Carpool Karaoke right now. This is really good stuff

     

    [Edit 4] Live has ended. Hope someone has recorded this so we can replay back later...

  6. I am back lolll

     

     

    Topped the page!! Woot!

     

     

    what is the concept of this Golden Tambourine show ... i don't understand ... 

     

     

    I'm not too sure myself :/ Still haven't watched it. Seems like some kind of paradoy performing idk

     

    Golden Tambourine is basically US' Lip Sync Battle with people singing instead of lip syncing.

     

    Celebs get on stage to perform songs in a funny way through elaborate costumes and set pieces (just like how the stars do in Lip Sync Battle) and the audience decides which performance was better between two competitors.

     

     

     

    I'm just really happy JeA is going strong!! :D

    Thank you! Started on One Fine Day, watched Weekly Idol, and the Show Champion interviews...

    I guess my bias so far is either DK or Seungkwan.

  8. How are you guys planning for the upcoming school year/did it start yet?

     

     

    God bless mcdo's WiFi
    Looks like we finally got our first official bum! After years of bumming! Congratulations!!!!

     

    I'm so glad I am an official bum! I will work hard so please watch over me.

     

    Hm... Do you recommend living next to a mall? Maybe I should move my box from behind the elementary school dumpster. They have wifi, but I think I scare the children.

    In other news, I'm so excited for autumn to get here in 11 days. Finally!

     

    The mall is much better. Easier food access too.

     

     

     

    In terms of Fall

     

    I am ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

     

    Idk how, but I will open a homeless shelter for you with free wifi.

     

     

    Thank you bittermelon. That's all I ever wanted in my life :')

  9. My dad was one of the few people who bought Your Story when it was first released in 2006. (He really liked "Hold the Line").

     

    Well I found out our family threw it away along with hundreds of other old and now rare CDs to make room for our new apartment.

     

     

     

     

    I am going to take a very long sleep.

     

     

     

     

    (Update: My dad kept the actual CDs themselves and are now in his car for him to listen to. The packaging has been thrown away however).
