  1. Like you, I am very happy for Lim Jun Hyuk, hope his debut goes well. Truly hope he was encouraged by the praise he received from both HCY and Jo Hyunah. The Unit - probably the first and last survival show I watch - too stressful. I have a soft spot for KBS because of the immense part they played in reviving HCY's career (thank you "Immortal Songs" in particular) and seeing how they similarly support talented singers like Kim Yong Jin (debuted in 2004, largely unknown for a long time until he appeared on "I Can See Your Voice" and has become a regular on "Immortal Songs") but the unfair editing (especially for Seyong and Gunwoo - lack of screentime in Gunwoo's case) has been really disappointing.
  2. HCY as an MC is funny but doesn't get much screentime (because he is the junior among the three waiting room MCs, I guess). Can't wait for him to compete more often on the show (he'd have to step down from the MC role, of course). Beatwin Jungha has actor visuals - the best-looking male contestant on the Unit IMHO. Love the LOTJ suggestion! Read on reddit that Im Junhyeok will have a single album to be released on 22 February! Good luck to him as I think he is a good vocalist, and contrary to many people, I didn't find him off-putting from what I have seen of him on The Unit. http://entertain.naver.com/now/read?oid=311&aid=0000822902 For any new HCY fans who may not have watched this - IS2 perf heart shooter in action - he is so cheesy and cheeky
  3. KBS also gave Marco a lot of screentime ,and showed him to be working extra hard at practising his choreography. I am pretty sure other contestants also practised extra hard but KBS chose not to show their scenes. Still upset about Seyong - he would have made a great leader for Unit B, the Unit's loss IMHO. As light relief ... https://twitter.com/silversyeoni/status/963327842485387265 Aishwarya~†@silversyeoniFollowFollow @silversyeoni More Im crying this one korean person wants to make a fanmade group with 10-18 ranks but they also included Kanto (bless) AND HWANG CHIYEOL LMFAO NDGDJDBDUF IMAGINE CHIYEOL BEING AN IDOL WITH THE OTHER KIDS NDJJFNDIJD 4:23 PM - 13 Feb 2018 Unquote Depending on styling HCY could actually pass for someone younger than his age .. say in this 2016 video - I think there are times he looks like he could be Jun's (U-Kiss) older brother:
  4. Agree with your post. Lately we have been seeing more idol groups (eg Day6 recently) on IS2 so I won't be surprised to see Matilda, Melody Day again on the show. Re IS2 3rd March a special episode will be shown commemorating KBS 45th Anniversary - no waiting room talk, no competition, just singing by many singers, among them mentor HCY who also MC-ed the show. Anticipating!
  5. Didn't HCY say he wished for a voice like Rokhyun's and the other mentors laughed at his saying that? I hope to see Rokhyun on Immortal Songs again. https://kpopvocalanalysis.net/2016/07/15/100s-vocal-analysis-rokhyun/
  6. Sorry late reply. So sad my favourite female contestant Semmi and Yeoeun (I'd rooted for the Melody Day girls from the start) did not make the Final 9. Hope that both of them as well as Heejin get invited to Immortal Songs. What a sweet and heartwarming gesture from the Unit contestants to their mentors - has this been posted yet? I don't know who originally posted the pic - probably one of the contestants.
  7. Hwang Chi Yeul "Like A Miracle (Someday)" - OST 7 Hwayugi/A Korean Odyssey
  8. KBS definitely did Seyong wrong - even in the episode before the finale, they made it look as though he is bossy. Yet as we can see from yesterday's performance, he gave himself so few steps of the choreography and assigned the parts fairly IMHO. Reposting again my favourite song from MYNAME: Not just the final groups, I hope KBS does not forget about the contestants 10-18 and will help promote them in whatever way possible.
  9. Thanks for the info about the boots. HCY gave boots to Daewon and Chan - it was good to see him, Jo Hyunah and San E standing up to applaud Chan Re Daewon, I am so happy he is in the final 9. Lee Geon and he have suffered through two management agencies letting them down, HCY can empathise because his enforced hiatus as a singer for about eight years was due to his agency closing down soon after his debut in 2007. At one time HCY was so poor he had only about KRW30,000 (that's less than USD30) in his bank account and couldn't afford to eat meat at mealtimes. Heartfelt thank you messages from the two boys to HCY: https://www.facebook.com/Totorozang/posts/406141986457807?pnref=story
  10. Maybe HCY and Jo Hyunah can give the boys some vocal training? And if HCY can try his best to get Matilda. Melody Day, 100% back on Immortal Songs as well as MYNAME, then maybe this can help those eliminated a little.
  11. Me too - especially since my favourites are Seyong and Semmi, and from the start I was rooting for the Melody Day girls. Add 100% as well - Rockhyun should have been in the final 9.
  12. New names - to be announced on 24 Feb, I believe. Wishing the contestants all the best today!
  13. It would be fun to have both Jo Hyunah (she's adorable) and HCY on the show together with the Unit boys and girls who did not make the final 9! So maybe we could have collabs like these: Seo Jian & Unit B contestant 1 Min Woo Hyuk & Unit B contestant 2 Kim Yong Jin (definitely this year's IS2 Rookie of the Year) & Unit B contestant 3 Jo Hyunah & Unit G contestant 1 Female soloist (someone like Kim Yeonji or Kim Bo Kyung) to collab with Unit G contestant 2 HCY to collab with Unit G contestant 3 (because HCY harmonizes really well with female singers ) As I think Heejin should have been in the top 18, I'd love for her to be one of the girls chosen, and from Unit B, Gunwoo of Myname would be my first choice.
  14. Love your dream But I think we can't have one IS2 episode dedicated solely to The Unit. Maybe what we can have is some of the eliminated boys and girls (maybe about eight of each gender) appearing on a Rookie Special together with IS2 Rookie of the Year for the past few years (eg 2014 - Seo Jian; 2015 - Hwang Chi Yeul 2017: Min Woo Hyuk) and the remaining four spots for Unit eliminated contestants.
  15. The choreography in the MV was good, they really should have sung Day by Day during the audition but all this is said in hindsight, of course. Fun fact - "Day by Day" is co-composed (both lyrics and melody) by Eniac who also co-composed the lyrics and melody of one of the songs on Hwang Chi Yeul's mini album " Be Ordinary". I hope Eniac writes songs again for both HCY and myname. http://music.naver.com/album/index.nhn?albumId=398365 http://music.naver.com/album/index.nhn?albumId=2064844
  16. What a beautiful song - thanks for posting about this. Why didn't they sing this at their audition?
  17. 1) Seyong 2) Daewon 3) Kijoong 4) Jun (U-Kiss) 5) Gunwoo 6) Feeldog 7) Ji Hansol 8) Suwoong 9) Rockhyun
  18. Many thanks for posting Raehwan's instagram with the translation about Seyong. The whole "My Story" segment is my favourite part of the show so far, and it is so touching to see that Raehwan, from not being happy to be picked by Seyong to be in his team, now writes heartwarmingly about Seyong. Seyong is competitive, yes, but one has to be on a show like The Unit. My favourite contestant - keeping my fingers crossed that he will make the final 9.
  19. Just for fun - I did a search, there are 60 bands/solo acts whose names allude to food in some form or another. https://www.thedailymeal.com/60-bands-named-after-food So I give you ... LOL ' TURNIP-B TURNIP-G The Unit Rebooting Nine Idols Project
  20. I don't hate them. Re Timoteo's visuals, as a few other people have pointed out on Twitter, there are times he resembles HCY, who I believe is generally regarded as handsome by South Koreans. As for Timoteo's vocals, I must admit to being pleasantly surprised by his good vocals in "No Way". Someone commented he started out as a vocalist in his group - is that true?
  21. Me too. I do hope she and Yeoeun will make the final 9. Starnews interview - article in the K-media today- HCY mentions (I think, thanks Google Translate) Rockhyun, Jeup, Daewon and Suwoong - I really hope this will help them, especially the first three (pretty sure many HCY fans in South Korea will vote for angel Daewon ) Don't have much hope of Suwoong getting into the Final 9 but since I really like him, it's good to see him squeeze into the final 18. http://star.mt.co.kr/stview.php?no=2018020510493002026&outlink=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.naver.com
  22. Hopefully the Unit being aired on KBS World and in Japan will help with album sales as well. I can't access Chinese sites ... there is a Baidu bar for the Unit. Does anyone have a rough idea of how popular (or not) the show is in China?
