the official KIM DONGHYUN thread #MXM #AB6IX - I'M THE ONE

[squishh]

Omg I didn't know Donghyun has a thread!!

 

Ahhh I'm so glad he probably survived! He's so underrated it hurts. :(

 

The rumor said he's also center of I Know You Know! I really really really hope that's true and he finally gets his chance to shine! Personally, it's my favorite song and I also think it suits his voice so well. :D

[squishh]

Omg he finally got screen time!! T.T

[squishh]

Did he get IKYK? I missed that part. :o

[squishh]

Spoiler said he would be center but it seems like center is actually Donghan. And in the preview, Hyunbin has the leader sticker.

 

Rip Donghyun's screen time... :'(

[squishh]

I have a feeling their story would be centered around Hyunbin.... Again

 

Sent from Sewoon's phone

Oh please no.

She uploaded the full stage to Vimeo :D

170528 I Know You Know Rehearsal

https://vimeo.com/219890729

 

Donghyun did amazing!! I tend to worry for him since dancing doesn't seem to come naturally to him (what he shows us on stage is the result of an enormous amount of effort on his part, not inborn talent or cultivated skill, although tbf I'm really critical about dancing in general) but he is hitting all the choreo perfectly and there is an extra bounce in his step, I love it <3

 

That almost sounded like a bash, I think, but it isn't haha. His hard work is very admirable and I'm glad that he was able to catch the eye of non-fans in the live audience. This song/concept is so perfect for him yayayay 15.5+ hours until more people start waking up and appreciating him~

 

Yes I saw this!! I love this stage so much. It's so cute and happy!

 

I know what you mean! Someone who used to train at the same academy as him wrote that he used to get teased for "dancing like a small dinosaur" was surprised to see how much he improved. xD

 

I really hope people are noticing him and are voting for him! It's really sad how these concept evals aren't going to impact voting much, because he did so well. It still surprises me that he's not more popular. When I first saw the BNM crew, I thought for sure he would be the Doyeon to Daehwi's Yoojung.

[squishh]

Oh and I posted this in the main thread already, but here's a compilation of Donghyun's compositions!

 

I hope he'll get the chance to release the full versions of these someday! His songs (and voice :p) are totally my style.

[squishh]

I hope we get to see the 2 Donghyuns interacting in the future. I wonder if they're friends lol

 

I noticed that 3Dong/Trinidong all voted for Donghyun as the leader for IKYK. Why did we not have this friendship earlier?!?!

 

This is off topic and v selfish but I'm hoping that Donghyun makes it into top 22 so if they have the guerrilla concert, IKYK would practically be a Donghyun solo. But I feel like none of the team made it...

Lowkey hoping for this too. >_>

 

I'm trying not to get my hopes up...since he would have to climb 7 ranks...but maybe he was able to punch his way into people's hearts in episode 8...

[squishh]

6 of 7 IKYK members confirmed to be eliminated... (Taedong, Hyunbin, Yehyun, Moonbok, Donghan and Seonghyeok)

I dunno but isn't it too obvious that Donghyun too

It means no one survive :((((

 

But deep inside my heart i still want donghyun makes it :((( though it sounds so unreal~

Moonbok too?? (Where did all those hyung fans go -.-)

 

I'm praying that weird book spoiler is true and Donghyun somehow scraped by. Even though that was probably just someone trolling.

 

I just want to believe. T.T

[squishh]

Yes I read somewhere that someone saw him got his hair cut yesterday...

Ahhh this 1O1 world is so scary :((

 

Seriously I feel bad for Donghyun if the other 3 BNM Boys got into 22 or got into the Top 11 but only him who doesnt even reach Top 22 :(((((

Same!! He's always the one left behind.

 

For concept evals, the other BNM boys were in the top 2 teams while he was last... T.T

 

I can't even imagine the pressure he must be feeling..

[squishh]

And the rumour said that he gonna choose another path if he didnt make it on 1O1

I just started to love Kpop again after some times since I found him but he didnt get the result he wants :((

I'm afraid he will leave bnm because of the pressure TT____TT

I'm not ready :(

Wat. Where is this rumor??

 

I feel like that can't be true. There's so much hype for BNM's future boy group. I can't imagine him turning that down. Plus he's still so young!

[squishh]

I doubt the other 3 will all make the top11, so BNM will probably debut the ones who didn't make it with the trainees that they already have so they don't loose the hype

Youngmin is actually in a stickier situation because of his age, if he waits for the others to finish their contract with OIO, he'll be 25 by the time he debuts, so he'll only have 4-5 years of promotion before he needs to enlist in the military

Hyung line duo project please!!

[squishh]

LOL there is another hyung on BNM,, 96 line Jaehee

Oh is that the 5th guy in Rhymer's photos?

 

Do you know anything else about him?

[squishh]

Hi!

First time posting here, and I really really really really want to see Donghyun make it until top22!

Welcome!!

 

That's what we're all praying for!

 

Donghyun's punching antics seem to have sparked a BNM bus, judging by the recent increase of BNM pann posts. Hopefully that will be able to save him!

[squishh]

He's so cute!!! I love the way he talks. His voice is so gentle.

 

I'm a happy Donghyun stan. :'D

[squishh]

Here's some Donghyun photo spam!

[squishh]

Please keep this thread alive! I love all the BNM boys but he's my favorite and it makes me so sad that he's less popular than the others... 

[squishh]

Omg this is so cute!! Donghyun has a habit of saying "neh" a lot and someone made a compilation of all the times he does that in his vlive!

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzaVZW168UE

 

It's impossible to watch that and not smile!

[squishh]

We need more Donghyun stans here ;-; this thread only has 8 pages :(

 

IKR :(

 

I guess it's hard to start discussions because there's so much less content about him out there compared to the other BNM boys.

 

But here's a question: did your impressions of him change after watching his vlive? Since he hardly had any talking cuts on the actual show there wasn't much to base his personality on, until now.

 

I was surprised by how talkative he is? He carried the conversation really smoothly and was a really engaging natural storyteller. I thought his personality would be similar to his BFFs Youngmin and Sewoon. More reserved and quiet. I'm pissed at Mnet for not showing that at all! 

[squishh]

I've always thought he was a smooth talker, since his PR video and eye contact, actually. He was so charming then, that was when I decided to stan him, too, OTL he ended up being non-existent in the show.

 

I'm really disappointed that they didn't showcase his sweet personality as often as they should've. He was supportive, smiley, talented, and much more, but it was always shown in the sidelines. He was close to many trainees and took care of little Woojin alongside others (when Woojin sat on his lap ;;). In Park Woojin's and Daehwi's B-day vids, you can especially see how caring he is towards his BNM family. During the finale as well, he cried for his members, prayed for them, and felt the stress. He's the perfect boyfriend figure. Honey voice, gorgeous smile, talkative and sweet, loving... what's more to ask for?

(Mess I ended up rambling about my love for Donghyun. Welp.)

 

Aww yes he's such sweet guy. Someone made a compilation of him hugging other trainees during the finale:

 

 

 

I also stanned him after the watching the initial PR/eye contact/meringue videos. His smile was just so bright and he seemed like a really kind down to earth guy. He has everything from skill, to visuals, to personality, so I fully expected him to be one of the popular boys. But alas...the only thing he lacked...screentime....

I feel like he's going to be bias wrecker when BNM boys officially debut though. A lot of people just haven't noticed him yet. Anticipate the swerves.

So I poked around Naver a bit today and found some interesting information:

 

APP Music Academy, Donghyun's first academy (to my knowledge), made a post congratulating him for passing his JYP audition and becoming a trainee on 11/04/2014.

 

Post: http://blog.naver.com/aapacademy/220171628676

 

M Contents Vocal Academy, his second academy, made a post congratulating him for passing an audition for a company he really wanted to get into on 06/08/2016 but said they won't reveal which agency until August.

 

Post: http://blog.naver.com/contentsment/220731146154

 

Come 08/26/2016, that company is revealed to be Brand New Music!
 

Post: http://blog.naver.com/contentsment/220797598138

 

So assuming he officially became a trainee around when he passed the auditions, he was a trainee at JYP for at most about 1 year 7 months and has been at BNM for at most about 1 year. On his profile, he says he has been a trainee for 11 months, which matches up to this timeline if he's only referring to his time at BNM. 

 

M Contents also posted a preview video for his showcase performance on 06/02/2016. It shows him practicing the cords to his self-composed song "Look Pretty."

 

Post of practice video: http://blog.naver.com/contentsment/220726247438

Post about showcase: http://blog.naver.com/contentsment/220735385367 (Donghyun was an MC!)

 

JeA said Donghyun taught himself how to play the guitar and compose from watching Youtube videos and Somi said he started while at JYP. So "Look Pretty" was written sometime between 11/04/2014 and 06/02/2016. It's probably the oldest out of the 3 songs we've heard so far (Produce 101 audition song, Look Pretty, and I Just You).

 

So yea those are my findings! Hopefully that was worth the read. xD

Oh and here's a video I found of 14-15 year old Donghyun:

 

 

 

His voice shakes when he says hi aww  

This video was posted almost exactly a year before he auditioned for JYP.

 

What I find interesting is his song choice. This doesn't sound like a song a typical middle schooler would be jamming to lol

[squishh]

Thank you for sharing! I've always been curious of the pre-broduce timeline of the BNM boys. Like were Daehwi, Donghyun and Woojin all training at JYPE at the same time. (I still don't know but I hope they talk about it in the future.)

 

Pre-trainee Donghyun was not an acoustic music enthusiast yet lol

 

Here's another angle of the performance + another video where he sings 

 

Yea same!! I wonder if they were friends, or at least acquaintances, before moving to BNM! Somehow Somi knew of all of them so they must've at least seen each other around?

 

Hahahaha definitely not!

Here's a video of him performing Conduct Zero: https://www.facebook.com/aapacademy/videos/791405024314453/

Here's the full song: 

"Don't be acting like a fatass."

Dang Donghyun spitting bars in that second video.

Has performed lots of hard hitting songs. Has rapped. Goes and auditions for a hip hop label with Hongdae Geondae. lol. 

 

 

Thank you for this!

 

I've always wondered why all (iirc) of our BNM boys came from JYP. In his vlive a fan asked him how he got into BNM, and he said "let's not talk about that" so I became curious. Since the start of the show I just believed that the boys transferred from JYP to BNM for whatever reason. And a few days ago I came across this one tweet.

 

Click here to view the Tweet

 

Oh man that made me even more curious. I think the staff person behind the camera must've signaled for him to not go into that story. 

 

My theory is the audition was a closed audition and how trainees got invited to audition is what needs to remain hush hush/is complicated. BNM did a very good job of hiding the fact that they're producing an idol group. When the boys first introduced themselves as BNM trainees, everyone from Cheetah ("I need to call Rhymer-oppa") to the rest of the trainees was shook. If BNM had gone around putting up audition posters, word would have spread real fast.

 

Maybe Rhymer had ties with JYP and he got to pick from their pool of trainees who weren't set to debut anytime soon?

In any case, I hope we get to hear the story eventually!

 

Until then I'm down to believe San e ransacked JYP's trainee collection on his way out.
