I wonder if they'll keep the guys in their original units when they perform 24 (like how each unit had a little section of the song), and if they'll keep the original choreography. If so, does that mean that Unit Red will have to lift Sungho since Alex isn't there anymore and Sungho's the smallest? LOL I would actually pay money to see that

I know, I love it so much. Maybe they'll perform it at one of their concerts? But then we still probably wouldn't get to see it and it probably wouldn't be the same since the Unit Red guys don't all perform on the same days. :( I wouldn't mind if one of the other units performed it, like if Unit Sky did it at least Hyunuk & Jinkyu would get to sing it again. But at the same time it would feel so different without the other Unit Red members because I associate Starlight so strongly with them. (Also I'd love to see Sungho perform it again bc I really love his singing voice and he sang so much for it.)

The V Lives are cracking me up so much lol, especially this: Also I laughed way too much when Jinkyu said he has to sleep on the couch, I feel bad for him but it's also really funny for some reason. My poor sweetie lol. Seonghwan is rapidly moving up my bias list, I feel bad for not noticing him very much before the vocal evaluation in episode 7 but I also don't know why I didn't notice him sooner, he's so cute and smiley. His attempt at rapping was so cute, and it was really adorable when he was freaking out about Jihyeong talking about his relationship with Jinsub.

Maybe they just didn't have enough time to re-record the studio versions with all the new guys? Since they technically have officially been back for just a week. (I know nothing about music recording though so IDK how long that would actually take). I don't necessarily think all of their voices are too similar though, like Hwayoung's voice and Jinkyu's voice are pretty different (Hwayoung’s is deeper). Since this was just the first performance with all of the revived guys in their new units I don't think we should read too much into it. Edit: Also aren't the guys already rivals to begin with, like regardless of whether or not they have similar voices most of them probably won't make the final group regardless.

AHHH I saw Jinkyu at the end for like a split second I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

It'd be cute if Hwayoung and Haejoon were in the same house, they're always super adorable together lol. Inpyo's house will be interesting with both Jinseok and Jinkyu there, they're both so hyper and noisy all the time. Yonghyun's team V Live was hilarious, especially since Jaehyun and Jinkyu have kind of opposite personalities; they're both awkward but Jaehyun is so quiet most of the time & Jinkyu is always loud and energetic. It was so cute whenever Jaehyun would get excited or energetic about something, he really is adorable. (Also I 100% sympathize with his need to touch Jinkyu lol because I would definitely do the same if I were him.) TOO CUTE. (I died of second-hand embarrassment when Isaac was teaching them how to speak Malay bc my mom is Malay and wanted to know what the heck I was watching lmao).

I love how confused Inpyo was when Hwayoung walked in too lol. And then he expected Inho to be Unit White's representative and it turned out to be Doha. Idk about Unit Red necessarily throwing their performance on purpose. The last couple of episodes Sungho seemed really anxious and stressed out, and he wasn't leading as actively as he usually does. Like during the vocal performance whenever they showed Unit Red or Inho (who was sitting right in front of him) you could see Sungho completely concentrating on practicing his rap in the background. He's usually so confident in his abilities so it really was noticeable to me that he was worried. And if I recall correctly, didn't he tell the other Unit Red guys that they should just throw something together quickly for the performance part of the evaluation? Which is probably why it ended up being such a mess. Like he really wasn't himself at all for most of the episode, the one quality of Sungho's that's always really stood out to me is his focus and motivation but in episode 7 he was just so completely unfocused and nervous. And I definitely think that affected his leadership. Maybe he was worried that Unit Red would be the last group sent home if they didn't get the extra points (which...unfortunately ended up being exactly what happened). I do know in the interview they did with him before the final performance Sungho said that he felt like he'd led his group poorly though.

This is why I was so happy when Jinkyu had dark hair again for the V Live, he changed his hair color so often during the show and I'm sure it probably wasn't good for his hair or his scalp. (Plus he looks better with dark hair lol). Did they try to color-coordinate/pattern coordinate their outfits lol, all of the groups look very matchy. (Hwayoung and Woojin both look really good in that shade of red though).

I didn't really like Green that much at first either, but they're starting to grow on me a lot (especially Chani and San). The little profile videos they've been releasing for each of the guys + the V Live have definitely helped me start noticing some of the Unit Green members a lot more. I'm sure it'll be interesting having Sungho there too, he's definitely going to add more color to the group lol.

Also I just realized that Jinkyu being in Unit Sky means he gets to be reunited with his goofball bro Woojin lol. They've been friends since the show started and they're hilarious when they're together, so I'm sure they're going to have a lot of fun now. (My secret hope was that Yeonsuk would get revived too so he and Jinkyu and Woojin could be in the same group but that didn't end up happening . My favorite underrated dorks.)

"Can you attract Doha" is probably the funniest thing any of the guys have had to do so far, I don't think very many of them would be successful (except for Youngdoo lol). I always feel so tiny when I look at their heights, even the shortest guys are still taller than me. I'd look so small standing next to Jinkyu Curse my super-short genes. I couldn't stop laughing during the V Live when Seonghwan had to stand next to Sunghyun and Jinkyu, his face was priceless.

I love those selcas of Jinkyu with Unit Sky lol, I've had them saved on my phone for weeks. I'm so glad they came true and Jinkyu's officially with Sky now. I think Hyunuk will actually stand out a lot more in Unit Sky than he did in Unit Red, because I feel like in Unit Red he was constantly overshadowed by the image Sungho designed for the group (that tough hip-hop vibe). He's a really, REALLY good singer--like I'd personally rank him as one of the best vocalists on the show because his vocal tone is so flipping good--but he rarely got to sing in any of Unit Red's performances and I think everyone just sort of forgot that he's a vocal until their last performance lol. Hyunuk also has a really quiet personality compared to the rest of Unit Red (especially Jinkyu and Sungho lmao) so maybe that's why people say he didn't make much of an impression on them. (But he's really handsome though so he's always stood out to me.) I feel like he'll fit in well with Unit Sky because they're a lot less intense than Unit Red was, so Hyunuk's personality will probably work well with all of them. And since they're a lot more vocal-oriented than rap-oriented, this is a really good opportunity for Hyunuk's strengths to shine and for him to get more fans. He's been in the background for so long so I'm really happy for him and I hope he can finally get the popularity he deserves.

MY BIASES ARE IN THE SAME UNIT ahhhhhhhHhhhhh I'm so happy! Hwayoung and Jinkyu get to sing together! And Hyunuk too! They're going to be able to do so much more vocally now. (I kinda wanted Sungho to go to White because Sungho + Inho would be a killer combination, but I feel like if he was there he'd probably scare Jaehyun a lot lol since Sungho's not very laid-back.)

They all look really good wow (Also I love the last group one, because everyone has such cool expressions...and then there's Chani just being smiley Chani.)

I've listened to Unit Blue's cover of Rough too many times lol, when Hocheol starting dancing I kept expecting to hear Taedong's little 2 second rap. I miss Unit Blue. I think for me it wasn't the same without Yeontae because he was one of the Top 7, and they're like the faces of the show, kind of. They're the most recognizable for me at least, and definitely some of the most talented. So when Yeontae got eliminated the first time it felt like a really big loss. I...can't pick an ideal final group at this point lol, it's too hard. The closest I could get was: Inho (as leader/main vocal/creative mastermind of the group. He's really one of the only guys that I think I 100% need to be in the final group, because he's not only a great all-around performer but also a strong leader and someone who will make the overall group stand out) Hwayoung (as lead vocal/visual) Sungho (rap) And that's as far as I got because it's too hard for me to just pick 3 other guys lol. I'd like to include Jinkyu and Changmin too because they're my other biases besides Hwayoung, but I feel like that would just be wishful thinking on my part since there's a lot of other guys who are more popular/would probably fit better in the final group. It's weird though because while it's really hard for me to come up with an ideal final group of the guys that are still around, I have an ~ideal~ six-member group in my head that's just made up of some of the permanently eliminated guys. (Probably because I'm still bitter about my two favorite groups being the ones that got eliminated first lol).

Lol, Changmin's close to my baby sister's age so I have overprotective big sister feelings for him. He's such a sweet & sensitive boy, every time I see him I just want to give him a hug (but probably not marry him lol, even though the age gap's not that big). Although he was really flipping cute in the V Live broadcast when he was cooking...so IDK lol, my heart is fickle and easily confused. Speaking of the V Live, it took me two and a half hours to watch it because I kept going back and replaying parts, they're all so adorable and hyper and it was so nice to see them doing stuff other than stressing out about unit eliminations. I hope they can all have lots more opportunities to relax and have fun in the future. I started crying when I heard Jinkyu's obnoxiously loud voice, and then kept cry-laughing through all the Unit Red stuff. I've missed them a lot and I'm really happy they all get another chance. Although, I was shocked by Sungho's mean bullying behavior.

And last the Unit Green one (they made one for every one of the final 5 units except Red, why. I wanna marry Jinkyu darn it.) My results: Sorry to spam you guys with these they're just really amusing.

That would be a great drama honestly, I'd definitely watch it. I found the Unit Sky one too! (This is where I got them from btw, sometimes I feel bad posting stuff without sources.) My results:

Click and drag games are so fun, I like imagining awkward things would be if the results were actually true lol. boyfriend/crush on you: Seonghwan (awww I would be really happy with that honestly) best friend/rival/marry: Jaemin (but...I wanna marry Seonghwan...) lover/flirt/tease: Louoon kiss: Changmin (who is my actual bias lol) Someone made a Unit White one too! And my results for it were: I haven't been able to find a Unit Red one yet (which is a bit disappointing since they're some of my favorites, but also probably a good thing since there's a really big age gap between me and Alex and I'd be a bit weirded out if I got him for anything).

Ahhh, Unit Red all look so happy, I'm starting to tear up. I'm so happy to see Jinkyu's dumb smiley face again.

I know I should probably just ignore you but. Aren't Sungho and Haejoon friends though...? Like they constantly teased each other in the behind-the-scenes stuff and Haejoon was crying almost as hard as Inho during Sungho's goodbye speech in the last episode. I really doubt that Sungho was intentionally bullying him, which is kinda what you seem to be implying.

I would be so happy if they released individual cams for this, especially for Yeonsuk since they cut out his second solo part from the episode. I really wish Mnet wasn't so bad at editing things; if you know it's going to be a group's last performance, at least let us see the whole performance without any weird edits.

Aww, I'm happy the other guys are getting to do promo videos and stuff too, it's nice to see them. Chani's always so smiley and cute. Was Seunghwan trying to imitate Sungho lol.

Yeah Sungho really isn't very emotional and I don't think it's entirely due to Mnet's editing that he comes off that way. He's not necessarily a mean person or a jerk, he's just very goal-oriented and focused on results (as Hyunuk said once lol) and not as...sensitive??? to other people's feelings sometimes. But I do think he's matured a lot since the show started, and he's at least made an attempt to try and listen to his unit members more. And he's said that he blames himself for when Unit Red has done poorly, so I think Sungho does genuinely care about them. He's just not very showy about it (he's cute with all of the guys in the behind-the-scenes self-cam videos and the Facebook broadcasts though). But yeah I 100% agree that he was completely okay with eliminating Won, I can't really blame him for that. Won is an adorable sweetheart and a good singer, but he's not very good at performing as part of a group. Even after his elimination when he performed Rising Star with some of the other eliminated guys at a busking event, he was so much more awkward than everyone else (adorably awkward, but still really awkward). I can understand why Sungho would choose Yeontae--who is a much better overall performer even with his voice cracking during 1TYM--over Won. I did think it was sweet that Jinkyu and Hyunuk both wanted to keep Won though. (I hope I don't seem like I'm trying to argue with you about Sungho, I agree with most of what you're saying; I just like talking about Sungho since he's one of my favorites lol.)

This is why I didn't really like the whole units thing to begin with. It never made any sense to me to have the guys stuck in the same units the entire show (and to encourage the units to develop their own distinct images) if they were ultimately not going to be debuting all the members of one unit together. It just keeps them from developing the flexibility they'll need to have as debuted idols, and also causes people to have really constraining ideas about what the guys are actually capable of doing (like thinking that most of the Unit Red guys are only capable of performing hip-hop). I'm looking forward to seeing how all of the boys grow and develop their skills outside of their show units from here on out.
