Yeah, look at K4 winner Roy Kim slaying the charts over the past two weeks. He's appeared and won an episode on IS2 and I am pretty sure that helped him gain more fans in South Korea. It's so sad that they focused on Hee Jin's weight, not her talent. It would be helpful to her career if she can appear on IS2 or KOMS. Re HCY

To add to what I posted earlier ... Checked Wikipedia - I.O.I debuted 4 May 2016, appeared on Immortal Songs on 11 June 2016. So if a group produced by MNet can go on IS2, why not KBS' own group? Yes, Chan did really well. Good job!
-
Not scheduled but I am pretty sure they'll go on it - just a hunch
-
Pleasantly surprised by Unit B's vocals today - now not so worried when they go on Immortal Songs
-
Jung Joon Young talked quite a fair bit today but none of his band members nor Hee Jin were shown to speak at all (could be due to editing). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstar_K_5 According to the Wikipedia entry for K5 Superstar, Heejin came in third.There were " 1.98 million applicants across the multiple avenues of entry for the show" so her result is really impressive. The K5 winner Park Jae Jung has already appeared many times on IS2 so I think it's only a matter of time before Heejin gets invited to do a solo on the show.

@elolery are you watching Immortal Songs 2 now? Hee Jin is in the waiting room but so far they have not shown her speaking. Hopefully they'll show her speaking a bit even if for a few seconds and hopefully we'll see her, Yeoeun, Semmi etc on the show some day soon.

KBS really goes all out to promote When I think about it, KBS was simply awesome in promoting HCY in 2015. He made his debut on Immortal Songs 2 on the episode that aired in South Korea on 25 April 2015 (ie Ep 196) and guess what - he was invited back on the next episode (Ep 197) which was a 7 Legends Special, starring the seven masters leading Korean art and culture, each collaborating with younger performers. So HCY was given the honour of performing with the father of the daegeum, Lee Saengkang! So for Unit B and G, I expect KBS to do an awesome job of promoting them, we just have to hope for good, public-friendly songs!
-
That is so sad. Joon Park seems like such a cool guy. The ageism in the entertainment industry SMH .... it just makes me so thankful that HCY at the grand old age of 34 Korean age managed to have his career rebooted.
-
Didn't realize there was such a huge age gap. Kim Taewoo has been a wonderful sunbae to HCY - in 2015 HCY was still relatively unknown and KTW invited HCY to be a guest performer at his solo concert in South Korea. Wouldn't it be fun if Rain joined Unit B 10-18 in a collab stage and they competed against Unit B final 9 + HCY on Immortal Songs?

A reality show is a great idea. That's what the Boyz did before their official debut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boyz_(South_Korean_band) Imagine this: A group that officially debuted two months ago ...
-
Maybe it's better that both groups get to promote on as many variety shows as possible on KBS before a fan meeting is held, bearing in mind how low the ratings of the Unit have been. Debut with a mini album in April, hold a fan meeting cum fansign (would help get more albums sold) and the results would hopefully be good.
-
Honestly their agency should do a better job promoting Melody Day. Imagine the Boyz are a rookie group and yet on 17 February they performed at a Headliner show at Pyeongchang Olympics! Let's hope we hear good news about Melody Day's activities soon.

To be honest I have myself complained about too much aegyo from some Unit contestants until I realized that I don't understand Indonesian but I found this interesting: https://www.facebook.com/kpopdrama.id/posts/856344724552032 Includes a Naver article and Knetz' comments translated in Indonesian, two comments mention Heejin.

https://twitter.com/CloudsWink/status/965390045149413376 I was wondering why Lee Geon (not one of the final 9) got relatively a lot of screentime yesterday. 961121 ⛅†@CloudsWinkFollowFollow @CloudsWink More Q. Why Lee Geon got this short interview screentime knowing he is not in TOP9? A = HE IS ALSO UNIT B'S VOCAL COACH (just like vocal coach Hwang Chiyeol, Hyun ah and dance coach Hwayoung) LMAOOOO 8:58 AM - 19 Feb 2018 0:00 100 views 8:58 AM - 19 Feb 2018 Truth to tell, I have been impressed by how he helped teach Daewon etc with their vocals. Thanks to Sumi for Eng subs - HCY speaking about Hyunjoo and Jun of U-Kiss. https://www.facebook.com/Totorozang/videos/409437542794918/

There is hope ... Youngji of Kara made her first solo appearance on IS2 last month (Year of the Dog special) and now she is in the Lunar New Year special. Yes, HCY did have to wait a very very long time - this why we HCY fans were so happy he became a mentor on the network that played such a significant part in rebooting his career: Timeline of his career - for anyone interested: 2007: Debut Soon after that (a year?) his management agency closed and he was forced to go on hiatus. Became a vocal coach for several years. 2015 - Invited to take part in I Can See Your Voice and because of buzz generated from his appearance even though he was eliminated, he was invited to Immortal Songs in April of the same year. So eliminated contestants of The Unit, please don't lose hope!
-
The Lunar New Year episode is in two parts - Part 1 aired today and Part 2 will be aired next Saturday. Since JJY's band Drug Restaurant has performed already Heejin might not appear again - unless they call her to the waiting room (I think it has been done before, people who feature in performances do appear in the waiting room sometimes). Drug Restaurant sang "Love 2" by Yoon Do Hyun - I, like many other HCY fans, am grateful to YDH because in 2007 HCY's first appearance on Korean TV was on the same KBS stage where IS2 is held and it was on YDH's show "Love Letter", The next time HCY was to appear on that KBS stage was when IS2 invited him to Immortal Songs eight years later.

Aw I wish you had watched it live - I should have checked the IS2 episode start time earlier and posted about it here. I like JJY and he chose a beautiful song. Honestly I didn't recognize Heejin ... Did you see the article on Naver mentioning her?
-
Too bad you should have watched it live ... IS2 started early last week as well ..
-
Watching it live online - didn't realise it was her! She did well
-
Yep let's be positive. Immortal Songs has been mentioned several times - KBS really promotes someone hard if they like him or her, so what more a group that is KBS' child, so to speak For instance Immortal Songs Super Rookie 2018 Kim Yong Jin has appeared four times already this year on IS2 and he's currently in the line-up for the Lunar New Year special. So if Unit B and G make a good impression on IS2 they might get to appear more than once - let's hope so anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortal_Songs:_Singing_the_Legend

Not an avid Kpop follower myself - I basically stan only Hwang Chi Yeul. However, since stumbling upon him two years ago, I have been reading up about Kpop groups and have heard about: Girls: Melody Day, Matilda, Brave Girls - mainly through their appearance on Immortal Songs as well as Hello Counselor in the case of Melody Day (because Chahee and Yein took part in the same episode as HCY ) T-ara - because they are famous Hello Venus - because HCY was their vocal coach Spica Laboum DIA Dalshabet April Bestie Sonamoo The Seeya (got them mixed up with another group Seeya) Boys: Myname - because I had read about Gunwoo on Kpopvocalanalysis 100% - Rockhyun was analyzed on Kpopvocalanalysis - Ahmin considers Gunwoo and Rockhyn as two of Kpop's most under-rated vocalists Day6 - I read quite a bit about them U-Kiss Bigstar (because Feeldog took part in the same show as HCY - Let's Go Dream Team Singers Track & Field 2015) Boyfriend Boys Republic ( my memory is hazy on this - I think they were the opening act at World Masters Athletics Championship last year - HCY was the closing act ;- anyway it was a boygroup with a name starting with B) A-jax Imfact - because of Jeup's appearance on I Can See Your Voice Cross Gene Speed And for light relief ... this is about mentor Hwang .. I laughed when I read a tweet on finale day that he was being extra on that day. Little did that person know that HCY was actually extra when he appeared earlier on Immortal Song and on "I Am A Singer 4" China. He was even extra as a judge on SuperGirls China - please see this clip:
-
I didn't realise HCY's name trended after the Kijoong segment, thanks for the info ( HCY loves it when his name trends on Naver ) - maybe it's because of KBS evil editing in the preview, to make it look as though HCY scolded Kijoong when in fact he did the reverse and encouraged him. So people were wondering what really happened and paid closer attention to the Kijoong segment. Rain's trolling of HCY was soooo funny .... reminded me somewhat of the time when HCY was one of the judges (judges rather than mentors) on China's SuperGirl competition in 2016. One of the judges there, instead of giving a critique of the competitors, said "Should I make an evaluation of Hwang Chi Yeul first?"LMAO 06:05 - 06:11 On that show the judges (they were called "Super Representative") cast votes - and I wish KBS had given the mentors the responsibility of voting in the finale. Comeback plus appearances on shows like "Hello Counselor" and "Immortal Songs 2" please!

Myname I only knew of because I'd read sometime ago that Gunwoo was highly rated by Ahmin on Kpopvocalanalysis. And indeed he has a beautiful voice. Seeing that HCY (as well as Jo Hyunah) dropped the ball as far as Gunwoo is concerned has made me voice out criticism in this thread again and again against my sole bias - I can only presume that HCY doesn't read Kpopvocalanalysis.
