Over the past two years, I have learnt from sad experience as a HCY fan just how tough it is to chart on Melon. A Daily Song was his breakthrough, but his follow-up single did not fare well on melon (he didn't promote it though). Soloists who are generally acknowledged as good/great vocalists (eg Jung Dong Ha, ALi) find it hard to chart on Melon when they release albums or singles. We have to be patient.

Let's just pray and hope.

Thanks for the tutorial. Fingers crossed for melon! To have even one song chart in the top 100 would be considered an accomplishment. LMAO at this tweet from last month: https://twitter.com/pdtop101/status/941486760034365441

Enjoyed all the performances, My Story in particular. So happy that Seyong is in Top 9 - hope he will remain there until the end. And I am delighted about Semmi's and Yang Ji Won's rise but not so pleased that Yeoeun fell a few places. Poor Im Junhyeok, one of the best performers on his team yet he got last? Darn KBS and their evil editing! A number of people on Twitter in the last few days thought HCY scolded Kijoong when in fact he was supportive! Thanks to HCY Korean fan Sumi for this translation: "Also to Kijoong , CY asked if he was having a hard time singing. KJ said “ I am frustrated w my voice †and CY said “ is it due to ur voice change after puberty ? “ KJ said yes . Then CY advised him kindly to use his tummy to bring out sounds and sing more softly."

Not going to argue about who I think should be on the show or not ... I am just happy that participants on the show get more exposure when their groups are invited to perform in events eg Laboum and U-Kiss will be performing in the Winter Olympics post-medal ceremony https://www.allkpop.com/article/2018/01/big-bangs-taeyang-red-velvet-winner-and-more-to-perform-at-2018-pyeongchang-winter-olympics So will Jun and Yujeong be participating or not? Today A.C.E is part of the line-up at K-Wave festival in Kuala Lumpur: https://www.nst.com.my/lifestyle/groove/2017/10/295619/super-junior-taeyeon-and-nuest-w-confirmed-k-wave-2-music-festival

Not going to comment on how I think the songs will fare, because I have different taste from the South Korean general public Before 11 January 2018, only one of the six mentors on the Unit did not have a Golden Disk Awards bonsang. After 11 January 2018, we can now say all six mentors have at least one GDA Bonsang each Yay! Thanks to Sumi for translating part of what HCY said during his acceptance speech: "if I switch these two K characters ( ì—ê²½ meaning hardships ) backwards , it becomes ê²½ë ¥ ( experience/career). I deeply thank my dear fans for allowing me to prove myself and to pursue my career. " I sincerely hope the Unit's contestants (both remaining and eliminated contestants) will gain inspiration from the above words.
-
I sympathize with Junhyeok somehow - maybe it is because of my own personality. He appeared to get on quite well with his teammates on the last mission, they mentioned his leadership qualities and seem to respect him. Since there is talk about ISAC I shall repost this video (Let's Go Dream Team) - 30:17 to 32:15 featuring Feeldog, HCY and others :

Hi the show is being aired on cable TV - KBS World several episodes behind. I watched Ep 1 sometime back and the strange thing is, there were no English subs. However, KBS World will subsequently upload Eng-subbed episodes on their Youtube channel. No idea how the show is doing but I am sure it is gaining the interest of more new international viewers.

Sorry about that, I didn't realise abouthessi made the account private. Very disappointed about this elimination. He was just too selfless. IMHO he did sing well enough to be praised. The bit about no mentor praising him - I personally think whoever is in charge of editing has something against Gunwoo and so even if any of the mentors did praise his vocals, that footage would not be aired. Hi I remember you asking about HCY's vocals in the Vocals thread on OH. Hopefully we'll be able to read his detailed analysis in 2018 No cute girls at all but Korea seems determined to have at least one, in which case I'd keep Jiwon, she's likable.

LMAO

Smiling mentor Hwang: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdnS8nVBYvdAbGHpvFKXEPjJtalhH5XLxeJM-00/?hl=en&taken-by=abouthessi Serious mentor Hwang https://www.instagram.com/p/BdncHMHhH4dXWs-2CyuMyVXBblxVNUyEjcs9PY0/?hl=en&taken-by=abouthessi Hope it's just evil editing and he didn't make cutie-pie Kijoong cry.
-
I noticed I like Kim - she's pretty and talented. Can't understand why Seyong fell. Love seeing his reaction to other contestants' performances, and his cute interaction with Kijoong.
-
Happy to see Semmi crack the top 9 and to see that Serri is safe. But though expected, sad to see that Gunwoo didn't manage to escape this elimination.
-
Looking forward to tonight's episode, though I know I will be disappointed at some of the results. HCY's instagram today - recording at the Unit (I think since "The Unit" is one of the tags) https://www.instagram.com/p/BdmlPzmA-bE/?hl=en&taken-by=chiyeul7102
-
I know - I visit Kpopvocalanalysis regularly (primarily to find out what they have to say about a certain mentor ) As I have said before, I seldom publicly criticize HCY but he (as well as Jo Hyunah) has dropped the ball where Gunwoo is concerned.
-
If he had more lines and KBS editing had been fairer to him during the airing of "Butterfly" who knows, Gunwoo might have had a better chance of escaping elimination. One of the best vocalists on the Unit.
-
Other than Semmi, I cannot imagine any other contestant rising a whopping 33 places. LMAO at a few of the answers to Q15 when the respondents were not supposed to include any the six mentors in their answers. Sumi (HCY fan) translated the following answers: Lee Geon: “ I respect HCY. He has a solid mindset as a singer and has a lot to learn from “ Suwoong "I look up to many including Big Bang members however my number one person to deserve my respect the most is HCY" Daewon named HCY (how could he not? , Jay Park and Lee Ki Kwang. Sumi says Serri's answer to Q15 should read as: "I picked HCY since I have been knowing him since my trainee daysâ€
-
Thanks for the hard work gathering the info. Why am I not surprised at Gunwoo's answer somehow? I really look forward to reading his answers. Seyong's answer LOL - one of the things I like about him is that whenever the camera pans to his reactions to other contestants' performances, he usually shows enthusiasm and appreciation.

Thanks very much for this Honestly I missed this tweet - weird, I search "chi yeol" and "chi yeul" constantly on Twitter yet this didn't show up. Very grateful to you for alerting me to it. Hope the spoiler is wrong - two Melody Day girls eliminated, Heejin, Kim - noooooo ....
-
I didn't realise Heejin's ranking is so low. Hope she'll survive the latest round at least - won't mind at all if she does make the final 9. Of the names on the danger list, I have a soft spot for Chahee, Kim and Ahreum - hopefully they won't be eliminated so soon.

So happy for IS2 rating, because the show has been lagging behind Infinite Challenge for so long. Recording of IS2 takes place on a Monday, and the episode will be aired twelve days later (ie on a Saturday the following week). IMHO it would not be difficult to have past IS2 participants like Yeoeun (appeared on her own), Semmi and Rockhyun to appear on IS2 representing the Unit. HCY's last appearance as a singer on IS2 was a few months back in September. For the episode taped on 11 December "Year of the Dog special" HCY was invited to sing since he's born in the Year of the Dog (1982) but he had to turn the invitation down because he had just finished his Taiwan concerts and didn't have sufficient time to prepare for IS2. So disappointed at this. Hence I'd love it if besides the Unit boys and girls, HCY would somehow be part of the collaboration, if that is not asking too much . Since he has taken on the role of one of the three waiting room MCs at IS2 from January 2017, his appearances on IS2 as a competitor have been way too infrequent for my liking.

Thanks for answering my question. I don't follow Kpop groups but did know a bit about BAP and the bad treatment dished out to them by TS.
