Happy for Jiwon! I thought the only vote for one contestant thing was going to hurt her but it actually helped. I wish Euna and Semmi had made the final group because that would've made the group stronger. I'm oddly ok with the final group, maybe that's because they actually have have a decent of amount of real reboots in there and it's not just full of young rookies. I hope they keep the cute concepts to a minimum.

Eric Nam did a segment on kpop with former Olympic US figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, and Boa makes a small appearance in it.

An audio recording of the SPICA OT5 version of "Give Your Love" from the Japan showcase!!! I saw posts talking about how great it was but no one had posted a recording of it, finally someone found one. I REALLY wish this was the version they promoted.

Bbo's MV for Because of You is out! God I'm happy to see at least one of them releasing music. It's released under CJ E&M but I'm not sure if they're her agency or just the distributor.

So I finally watched Jiwon's King of Mask Singer episode and I think she did good on the duet but much much better on her solo. I've come to the opinion that she's better off as a solo at this point because when she's teamed up she tends to take a backseat and doesn't really shine. I guess I never took great notice to it in SPICA because of the massive amount of talent in the group, but during "the Unit" it became clear and the KOMS duet confirmed it.

 

She also needs to do a better job of picking and arranging songs for herself. She definitely did it right for her KOMS solo performance but during "the Unit" and her duet on KOM, she went for SPICA song styles, meaning songs that have have an edge. Jiwon's voice is like vanilla, it's smooth and soft, she has some power but there's no bite to it, it's great for ballads or even power ballad type songs but not for faster paced ones with a harder edge to them. That's what made her stand out in SPICA, and it was also one of the big things that made SPICA unique, they had 4 vocals with soul in them and then Jiwon's angelic soft tone.

OT5 SPICA....sorta...Narae left early (so she's not in this video) and Jiwon arrived late. It's Boa's Ista-live but it was Sihyun who uploaded it. I remember people saying SPICA gave off a vibe like they didn't really get along (I'm assuming it's because they never did all the aegyo, fake soulmates stuff like many other groups) but that's what I like about them, they're like real life work friends. They each have their own circle of friends (which sometimes overlap) but they genuinely enjoy each other too.
