Thanks for answering my question about Yein. It is a pity she was already a permanent member in a variety show and couldn't take part in the Unit. You make a great point about personality - IMHO one needs talent, personality and luck to make it in the so very competitive entertainment industry. As for the leader of Unit G, I would love for Semmi to first make it to final 9 and secondly, to be appointed ? the leader. I also like both Euijin (charisma) and Euna Kim (great stage presence). Will be so sad to see the Unit end as it has introduced me to many talented young people who deserve better. I have often gone on and on about HCY in this thread for which apologies to those people who prefer to read about the contestants ... having said that, once more here is HCY talking in a very recent interview about why he joined as a mentor on the Unit. From 03:17 to 03:57 (thanks to Sumi for Eng subs).
-
Sure wish Yein could have appeared on the Unit. I remember she was funny on Immortal Song - she is good at imitating voices (checked her profile,both her parents are voice actors). I don't follow Melody Day although I like them - is she the most lively among the four girls?
-
Just for fun ... remember when the mentors were putting together the teams for one of the missions and HCY said how much he enjoyed doing this,as if he were the CEO of a talent agency (something like that)?
-
Best to stick to 9 for each group, whatever the outcome of voting. 36 contestants will appear on 10 February, right? Then maybe the final 18 will appear on a special programme to be aired on 24 February?

Has this been posted before? In December Serri released an OST for "Love Returns":
-
Thanks for answering. Let's hope we get to hear more OSTs from the contestants.
-
Enjoyable reading, thanks. Semmi and Seyong - these are my two favourite contestants now. Can't believe that Yesterday, when I came across a post on another forum linking to Imfact's new OST, I was truly happy for the group yet a tad envious because it's so long since a certain mentor sang an OST. Then several hours later, although I am not watching the drama in question ...
-
So is this the first time Imfact is releasing an OST? If so congrats!

Hi, glad your question about Gag Concert was answered by other posters. No dose of Euijin sorry but since it's quite quiet, I would like to share something about my favourite topic. Back in 2011 HCY was struggling (his management agency closed down a few years before) but he still took part in a talent donation project and released a collab song with inspirational lyrics: Part of the lyrics: "While my small wings were tied up, I had a dream Of flying above the sky and of running toward a bigger world My dream is calling me from deep inside of my heart Even if this foolish world may not recognize me yet." Well, there is still a long road ahead for HCY but slowly I think he is realizing his dream. Hopefully his presence on the show will inspire the contestants (remaining ones as well as those sadly eliminated earlier) never to give up hope.

Checking up on rerun ratings made me more depressed. Korean variety sub-reddit has a very informative weekly thread on ratings. Rerun of the Unit - highest rating I think was 2.9% (Oct 29) and in November ratings were 2.3%, 2.0%, 2.2%. In subsequent weeks, rerun ratings were often around 1% or even "NR" :( https://www.reddit.com/r/koreanvariety/comments/7b3cio/201710301105_monsun_variety_show_ratings_week_44/ https://www.reddit.com/r/koreanvariety/comments/7e6xdk/201711131119_monsun_variety_show_ratings_week_46/ A user there said it was a terrible decision by KBS not to continue to schedule The Unit immediately after "My Golden Life" which is such a big ratings hit.
-
I think on KBS World the episodes are aired one or two weeks after episodes are aired in South Korea.

Thanks very much for adding HCY's account -
Maybe "C2" is for "Countdown To" ?
-
Guess - The Unit will run for 16 episodes - last three to be aired on 3, 10 & 24 February (because 17 Feb is 2nd day of Lunar New Year so no airing that day)?
-
Agree that even if Seyong makes the final 9, who knows how the group will fare - it is truly so very competitive in the idol industry. I wish the older groups like myname, 100% and Melody Day all the very best, and hope that taking part in The Unit will help them in one way or another. Hopefully at the very least Melody Day will be asked to sing more OSTS, which they do so beautifully.
-
From not having watched Seyong before the Unit, he is now my favourite contestant. I definitely want to see him in the final 9. As for Gunwoo, it is sad that a talented vocalist like him was eliminated so early. I can't remember now - did he take part in the vocal positions battle? Was he even present when the battles were held?
-
Much as I would love for Rockhyun and Yeoeun in particular to make the final 9 of Unit B and G respectively, it is IMHO too late to use Immortal Songs as an avenue. 22 January taping has already been done for the IS2 episode to be aired on 3 February.
-
Ah .... I love HCY and like Jo Hyunah - this is where they really dropped the ball - re Gunwoo, I mean.
-
Re Chahee I am so disappointed for her. I've seen her on Immortal Songs 2 (2015) and in Hello Counselor (also 2015) she seemed so lively then. . Reference: the performance on stage as well as interaction in the waiting room ...
-
Thanks for answering. I am surprised Yoonjo didn't get any boot from the mentors - maybe her voice was in relatively bad condition that day. I had hoped for some interaction between HCY (he coached Hello Venus) and Yoonjo but no such footage (if it did exist) was aired.
-
Hi any idea who gave him that one boot? Thanks.

If not already added, can you please add soloist Hwang Chi Yeul's account? Thanks. https://www.instagram.com/chiyeul7102/?hl=en -
Sorry to cut your post. I am so annoyed with KBS editing for once again not giving Serri screen time. She did really well in the "Always" performance and should not have been voted last. Sigh ... I am not Korean and don't know how many HCY fans in South Korea are watching the Unit. How I wish I could wave a magic wand and ask them all to vote for Serri so that she won't be eliminated.
-
I really like Gunwoo's " I Am 27": Watched the latest episode with Eng subs and LMAO it just had to be Seyong who told HCY that Raehwan was afraid HCY would scold him again... because I think very few of the contestants would dare to, somehow I didn't realize Seyong is from Busan - one day I hope to see a segment aired with HCY praising Seyong and both of them conversing in dialect (even though I don't understand Korean )
-
Agree there's a good chance the Unit B and G final 9 can be booked for appearances on IS2, Hello Counselor, Happy Together. It would also help if a bit of any of their releases are played on those shows. I am very grateful to KBS for helping to promote HCY's A Daily Song" by playing a little of it on shows like 2D1N, Happy Together, Immortal Songs, and in KBS dramas like "Strongest Deliveryman" After watching the latest episode with Eng subs, I am hopeful that there will be continuing focus on Seyong's leadership qualities. I would like him to be in the final 9 and if he does end up there, I think he would make a great leader.
