Welcome! Yep, Yoojung is an all-around threat and variety queen. If you want to see more of Yoojung doing her thing, do a search on YouTube for the show Golden Tambourine, which was an Mnet music variety show where contestants put on silly costumes and performed song covers. Yoojung was one of the MCs and performed a song cover every week. Example: And if you're not familiar with why Yoojung (and Doyeon) have so many fans already, check out the first season of Produce 101 and the resulting project girl group I.O.I, of which Yoojung and Doyeon were members as two of the winning contestants on P101. I.O.I was very popular while they were together in 2016, and they won numerous rookie of the year awards and music shows. This of course gives me the excuse to link the I.O.I MV with killer rapper Yoojung also playing the main character for "Whatta Man". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOn5tSagerY And here's Yoojung collaborating with Chungha (I.O.I, now a soloist), Momo (Twice), Seulgi (Red Velvet) and SinB (Gfriend) at the KBS Song Festival last year:

The Halloween skit intro to their last fan signing: (The date's probably wrong.)

The full 171024 Show Champion Behind Gugudan Ogu Ogu segment with Mina: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTzZi0jw1T8 She sit-dances to "I Don't Like Your Girlfriend" at 1:35, and Doyeon and Yoojung drop in at 10:14. Weki Meki demonstrates their signatures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsrJ7U00Jo8 Pristin does the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKWUIfyZbbM

Gugudan Ogu Ogu featuring Dodaeng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTzZi0jw1T8 They dance to Weki Meki chingu's IDLYG at 1:37, and Dodaeng show up in the segment starting at 10:14.

Hopefully there will be clips from the Show Champion Behind from yesterday (the 24th) posted. It's got a lot of Weki Meki: they show off and explain their signatures, plus Mina in a Gugudan 5959 segment with Hyeyeon has a hwaiting for them, and she and Hyeyeon sit-dance to "I Don't Like Your Girlfriend". They also find Yoojung and Doyeon in the hallway and joke around. Pristin is also around to explain their signatures, so a lot of I.O.I presence.

Here's a nice compilation of a bunch of their dance practices on VLive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlr8wx1HO_Q WEME's got an unusually large number of good dancers for such a large group.

I suggest WEME be added to the multi-version section as well, since the B Version is a limited edition of the normal album.

None of the awards I've looked up separate solo and group rookie artists last year (MAMA has done it in the past), though some of the awards can be given out to more than one artist per year. Most of them don't separate by gender, either.

Gaon just updated their monthly album sales; WEME had a good September (perhaps because of Version B) and just managed to eke by 40k. As for rookie awards, if Chungha's comeback does anywhere as well as her debut single, I'd expect her to run away with the trophies, honestly.

WEME is back up to #7 for last week on the Gaon Music Chart, a nice 21-spot jump for the album before the tsunami that is BTS hits. It's had a resurgence on the chart after briefly falling out of the top 100 in late August. Seems the extended promotion is having an effect.

This can't be a normal fan signing occurrence, right?

The brand rankings are based on data from the previous month. According to Soompi the period was from August 7 to September 8, so it basically covers all of Weki Meki's debut.

If you look at the top left corner, it says 9ì›” 13ì¼ ìˆ˜ìš”ì¼, ì €ë… 6ì‹œ, which means 9th month, 13th day, Wednesday, evening 6 o'clock, i.e. Wednesday, September 13, 6 PM (KST).

The vid on YouTube is region locked to Korea. But you can also watch ASC episodes directly on their website.

I like it. It works better with the stage dance than the MV though. The song's already got a lot of tonal switches, and the jumpy MV makes it seem even more frenetic. It's grown on me a lot after seeing it performed live.

Here's the M2 relay dance, where each of them dances in front for a while, so it's easier to see them. The rotation order is: Doyeon: orange crazy face top, checkered skirt Yoojung: black top, red striped skirt Lua: purple sequined "queen of f-ing everything" top, pink shorts Lucy: argyle yellow-black-white top, yellow shorts Sei: checkered "wow" dress Rina: blue peacock top, orange shorts Suyeon: green-black shiny top, dotted shorts Elly: blue top, flower skirt with orange

Yes, at some point in August. Well, gugudan is an asterisk, since it's only a subunit and doesn't include Sejeong.

Those Oh! Oh! heart sunglasses: so cute, so impractical.

Sei really does look a lot like GFriend's Yerin at certain angles when she's tilting her head. Having her hair down also seems to make her face look rounder when it covers her neck; she looks less like Yerin when she's sporting a ponytail.

You can use a time converter website like this one: http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/ Type in "6 PM" and "Seoul" on the right and choose "Local Time" on the left. Or, for something visually cooler, check out: http://everytimezone.com/ You can drag anywhere to move the current time marker and watch the times change for other zones. Seoul is in the same time zone as Tokyo, so you can drag the marker to where Tokyo would be at August 8, 6 PM and then look at your local time.
