Dang. Been backreading this thread and I see that I've got lots of competition for Jun Hwe now. lol.

 

Bobby pls pls pls translate my msg to Jun Hwe if you're reading this : I'm no pedophile but Jun Hwe you are sexy as hell. lol!

 

Btw guys, I honestly think Dong Hyuk is pretty good in English too. So far I didn't really hear any engrish from him. And remember during his introduction, he took a photo in front of the USA's flag? he probably is okay in english since he might have participated in different competitions overseas. Plus the fact that they make him say lots of English lines during their performances. Just a thought.

 

 

Koo Jun Hwe has been really popular with Korean fans since episode 6. It only used to be about Bobby or Taehyun but he's been quite the popular one on DC Gall. http://m.dcinside.com/list.php?id=winner&page=

Btw, I'm a native korean speaker so I will help out with translating short articles if needed. I'm also a guy so I won't be spazzing about how good looking they are like you guys lol. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Dong Hyuk speaks English well. If they can afford it, many Korean parents send their children for a few years to America to learn English. Knowing he's an academic over achiever, his parents most likely did the same, hence, the picture with the American flag in the background.

He will. If he knows whats good for him. That Korean poster said some Koreans r voting team a because of seniority. Team B are getting fans on their own like a BOSS. Not because of pity or that seniority thing. Its interesting to see the votes so close. It means that huge part of the viewers that r voting team b. And lets not forget that team b had the highest ratings of the night. A fans like to talk like the public are all about team A when i fact a good chunk of them are rooting for team b.

That korean poster would be me and its true. Seniority is a big deal. Also, I mentioned this on another thread but while many of you guys are YG/WIN addicts and know that whether Kang Seung Yoon wins or loses, he will still continue a solo career, the casual viewers don't know that as it was only mentioned in that From YG note a few months back. Therefore, people think it would be a shame if Kang Seung Yoon does not debut as they think this is his only chance, when in reality, he will continue as a soloist.

 

Also, I think Jun Hwe can definitely carry this group as the lead vocalist. Compare his voice to other boybands (BAP/BTS/2pm/Beast) and I think he's actually better because of his vocal color. It's only when you compare it to Kang Seung Yoon's voice (which is amazing) that people start to doubt, and its unfair. This guy IMO is the best singer and dancer in team B.

But I think it's fake because the 'YG' logo on the poster is the older version isn't it? Wouldn't they have used the newer logo instead?

That concert poster is a fake. It is fan made and was posted on DC gall a few days ago with the title translated as "if A team were to hold a concert..."

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

I hope team B debuts because this last episode made me realize how much I cannot stand Lee Seung Hoon. What a horrible "fast-talker" (I refuse to say rapper because he is clearly NOT a rapper).

omg! YG, you ass!!!The public are making excuses for them.

 

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't be too concerned with those netizen responses. The most replied/top statement as of now only had 20 votes...I wouldn't say that's the majority of what people are thinking.

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

just thought to myself while I was watching Bang Yedam's rendition of Baby...if team B ends up losing (with a song choice like Baby, YG set them up to lose), I think it would be smart if YG debuts them in a year WITH Bang Yedam. Even if his voice is not fully matured by then, I think it would be nice to see him grow with his group (aka Taemin from Shinee).

I'd like for 2ne1 and Daesung to visit Team B since it seems most of the company besides them don't wanna be associated with the B boys.

 

My thoughts exactly. Akdong Musician and now Yedam have visited one group and none have visited the other group. I'm neutral in terms of liking both groups, but I can't help but to see so much bias and focus on Team A on this show. It's like this show was their platform from the start. It was 2 minutes at tops for the new 3 members of Team B to get their "stories" introduced...combined! If anything, you would think the show would focus more on the unknown members. During the initial few episodes, whenever Team A lost to Team B, the focus would shift on them being sad and down, and never on Team B. It's as if it's a sin to win lol. Just my two cents.

Even if Team B loses, there is no way they will disband. Their chemistry and teamwork produces an "wow" factor that is so rare in kpop rookies the past few years that only a complete dumbass would ever pass up on them. Not only do they have the fanbase (more $$) and exposure, but they have the skills to beat all the basics that have debuted in the past 2 years and compete with the standouts. I'm scared shitless for the next episode. If Team A wins again, it's pretty much game over for Team B in YG's eyes :|

 

 

also, sorry if those gifs have been posted. This thread moves way too fast for me to backtrack XD 

 

 

My hunch tells me that Team B is going to do VERY well on the next episode. Just listening to the few seconds of the song that they made, I was already impressed. 

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

This please ^^

Omfg the losing team will def. move to C-Jes if the merge is true

 

"it's really nice to see how caring Team B fans are all of the sudden.

Honestly didn't they see how selfish their Team acted when they had to choose a dancing partner for GD's Crooked stage? Everyone in Team A directly choose LSH while in Team B literally everyone selfishly wanted to be the dancing partner." UHM is yoonbora serious? Loool i rolled my eyes so hard it almost fell hahaha i give up on those fans totally ignoring them starting today like I G N O R E

 

Team LOSER will not be moving to C-Jes if this merger happens. I don't think WIN will be involved in this so no worries. I think it's going to be based on the actors/actresses (remember YG said at the press con of a change in that area) as well as distribution/promotion of music for JYJ...nothing else.

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

Wrote this in the other forum, but people really need to wait for subs before they make their judgement on this episode. I don't need subs as I'm a native Korean speaker, but YG really sabotaged Team B's self-composed/written song. He made them change the lyrics to their song the night before the performance, which threw them off guard as they had to start from scratch...not because the lyrics were lacking but because there was too much english. Just WOW. I think that Team A's song had more english with "Smile Again" lol but he didn't make them change ALL their lyrics THE NIGHT BEFORE. It's clear that this show is biased and I like both teams (still) equally. Also, after round 1, only the losing team got to speak (Team A), but after round 2 they let both team leaders speak with a special montage of Team A...just LOL. Also, I think part of the reason why B.I was so frustrated the day of the performance (ie: the fight), is not because of his team, but because he knows that YG threw them a curveball and not Team A...they aren't stupid. They get Justin Bieber's song and then they have to change the lyrics to their own song the night before. I've been reading K-netizens postings on Daum and Naver and even Team A fans say they feel bad for the curveball YG threw at Team B...

 

That being said, Jinhwan from Team B did suck at his singing on this episode...I think if Jun Hwe sang Jinhwan's parts, the song would've been great! I cringed each time he sang because he just doesn't have enough power when he hits the high notes and it's always off.

^ Jinhwan didn't memorize his lyrics (BECAUSE YG MADE THEM CHANGE IT ALL IN LESS THAN 24 HRS) and he kept messing up during rehearsals which put everyone in a down mood. I swear this is all YG's doing and it's breaking Team B apart.

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

I like both teams but man, I was trying to do people a favor by explaining what happened on this episode and then I get attacked by international A fans...really? On Korean forums it's all about how unfair it was for YG to tell them last minute to change ALL the lyrics because there was too much English in it lol. Wish subbers would sub fast just on their behalf so that they can see what an unfair advantage he gave to Team A. but by then, voting will have closed. Also, I don't want ANY of the losing members to go to Cube. Jun Hyung from B2ST disses GD too much (LOL) and all of the YG boys respect their sunbae. I think YG will keep some of the boys and debut them when Big Bang goes to the army...I'm guessing 2 years? OR I think he might just debut BI and Bobby as a rap duo without a singer...which I wouldn't mind. Again, I'm a guy so I don't care about boybands but I really see so much potential in Bobby. 

Edited October 11, 2013 by SnapbacksNtattoos

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

YG won't get rid of Bobby.

 

In this episode, Lee Hyun Do said he was impressed by Bobby's skill and said he is going to have the brightest future. JYP then said that he agreed with Lee Hyun Do and called Bobby special. YG then smiled and said "what about him?..the showmanship or..." And I forgot what was said after but there was a love fest over him after their critique for team Bs self-composed song. Basically, YG was fishing for compliments for Bobby because he is proud of him. I felt a little bad for BI after hearing all this praise for Bobby but I do think that it is well deserved.

I see a lot of you guys say "I hope hanbin would leave with his members to another company" but it's not that easy.

1) He might have a contract with yg.

2) His members might not let him. (Considering that yg wanted to keep hanbin) Would you if you guys were in their shoes?

3) The other company might not debut all six of them together.

4) It's his dream after all.

There's a lot of 'might' therefore they have to win this. 

I know Mr. yg might come off as crazy sometimes(or whatever names you guys call him) he is still a great business man and will have the ability to make the Winner popular.

Also if we compare yg to all the other companies in the music industry; yg really have the best environment where their artist can freely and comfortably make musics. I know that yg is not the only company that let their artist have freedom but their equipment and overall environment is really the best. Plus their chances are making it big is much higher; not to mention they get their fair share of the profit they make.

In the end they really have to win this is all I'm saying.

 

Agreed. YG is NOT going to let go of BI and Bobby. It's not only what those 2 invested (time) into being a YG trainee, but dude, YG has invested a lot into training them and they are not going to let them walk. Maybe it's bc I'm a guy so I don't have any emotional attachment to these guys...but if they lose, they are not in a rush to debut. So what if you have to wait a couple of months? Maybe a year? I highly doubt YG will make them train for longer than that. Ya'll think BI and Bobby are gonna willingly leave YG so that they can sign with xxx company so that they can debut next month? Heck no. YG is the perfect  match for them and they basically grew up there. Also, it really is a Big 2 company in Korea. They will be fine when this is done and over. It's the other members that are question marks. Regarding Yunhyeong, he's improved a lot considering he wanted to be an actor...if he ends up not being in the group, I can see YG keeping him within the company. After all, he just received a ton of exposure. My problem lies between Jinhwan and Donghyuk. The judges mentioned that their voices are similar and I agree, though I prefer Donghyuk's voice much more as he actually hits the notes...I feel like if YG were to keep one of the two, he would keep Jinhwan.

my prediction: Team B is going to have the best performances YET during the final battle. Can't wait!

28, male, and married yikes

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

Hellooooooo *imitates jinhwan's voice* u appeared

And there's nothing yikes abt being married lol which team is ur wife rooting for?

 

 

my beautiful wife (she really is) is a fickle woman and switches between teams after every episode. she calls herself a pedo...I think she's more Team B but she likes certain individuals from each team...I have yet to tell her I had a dream with Bobby in it lol...she might have doubts if I reveal that to her. 

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

i never met a married couple that likes kpop. wow you guys are so cool   

 

well, we're both Korean so we grew up listening to kpop since the 90's so I guess this was just a natural progression. she's crazy about GD as are her friends

 

 

 

Apple since u know korean do u want to help me in running the fanbase? ;____; i need someone to communicate with the korean fansite.. i need their help for the counterattack >3< pleaseee

 

And where's snapbacks? I thought he's gna translate short articles about Team B where art thou snapbacks, show thyself~

 

 

I'm here. Sorry I've gotten really busy (and lazy) these days to translate articles here...but you guys should be happy because I send tips to that other website, allkp*p, and translate WIN articles myself under fake names like Jane lol. Also, I'm a full time medical student (4th year)...going to officially be a DOCTOR next year tada!

[SnapbacksNtattoos]

I think the opposite leaders means the way and the approach of leading their team are different. b.i is harsh and perfectionist. he isnt as sensitive as ksy. he directs his team the most from music to choreo.while ksy is like a mom to his members. not too pushy and trusts his members by giving them their own task and believe they're gonna make it. so hanbin is the dad, ksy is the mom. lol nothing wrong with that.

 

It's just koreans misunderstanding his interview. he said he cant let his attachement and his love to his hyungs affect him to win the show. he wants to win while ksy hates the idea of winning over their dongsaeng. ksy acknowledged team b's hardwork, even the fact they dont go to school.

 

I like the way B.I leads his team. I mean, what choice does he have? Objectively, Team B had no-namers compared to Team A so they had to be more disciplined and work harder in order for them to shine. I think a lot of those "netizens" are females so they go based on emotions...I could see how they would think B.I is harsh while KSY is a more compassionate leader, but Team B has done a pretty damn good job under his leadership. He's still young, so he'll eventually improve being a leader with time, but that kid is pretty damn mature for his age. With great responsibility comes great difficulties, and I'm sure he's had a lot of fights and bickering with his team members because of his role. Sucks that people think he's "too intense." I just call that being passionate and not taking this opportunity for granted.

Furthermore, he also said “I think that when the final winning team is determined, it is right to disband the losing team no matter what.†According to YG, Yang has never changed his mind until the 24 this month, just a day before the final battle.

 

Just wanted to say that the article is from OSEN and in Korea, they are known to have close ties with YG. Whatever YG wants out to the media, it usually will go straight to them....
