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

[squishh]

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

[howaboutno]

 

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.

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.

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 "You're 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 "You're 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, You're Pretty, and I Just You).

 

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

 

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 

 

 

I came across this and apparently the guy singing is Donghyun.

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.

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.

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.

LOL the San E part got me like ??? I should dig up in that Tumblr account for more info because San E kidnapping the trainees sounds so out of the blue. I wonder if they (and the other hidden trainees!!) chose to transfer, though. But yeah, they definitely kept it secret until the show started, considering how they released the idol group audition poster during the show as well.

I know Daehwi was at JYP when Sixteen happened (2015) so if Donghyun was still at JYP then, they probably would've met. I don't know about Woojin. No one has mentioned much about his time there other than the Somi shoutout. I'd like to think they knew each other. Then the 4 that got sent onto PD101 would be the ones previously acquainted with Woojin. (Next thing you know, we find out Jaehee and Myunghoon also knew Woojin lol)

 

Omg all this pre-BNM Donghyun content makes sense why he wanted to join Brand New. But Hongdae Geondae and acoustic boy lol. Who you trying to fool

 

About the BNM audition, I remember seeing a post about it last year. I don't know if there were any prior to that. But I was actually surprised the trainees were not aware they were forming a boy group since the company is more high profiled than many of the ones on PD101. So wouldn't an audition for a company like BNM be more known?

Donghyun is perfect for Brand New! Visuals and vocals, just that type.

 

Brand New Music isn't known for idols groups, they have many successful solo artists and duos, including their indie label. Much of them are not what you'd consider "idols", rather they are considered artists. So hearing that they're creating an idol boy band specifically is surprising when you compare that to BNM's current image.

 

And they had an audition? I googled it and apparently they did, I didn't know that.

 

 

This one surfaced recently. They changed the age cutline OTL.

Yeah I know what you mean and I'm aware of the company image. I just thought maybe the other trainees might have heard about it and considered auditioning for the BNM boy group. But that audition post was from around September last year so the PD101 trainees were probably all under a company already/not actively searching for another company to join anyway.

oh my god you're been doing your homework! Do you know korean?

 

and thank you so much for these, you've worked really hard! 

[Charzzy]

New here!! Donghyun deserves more love   . Btw, what do you guys think Rhymer would do with Donghyun for the mean time? How high do you think the chances are for a sub-unit with Youngmin?

Oh wow I guess they did publicize it? I'm surprised word didn't spread...

 

BNM houses a lot of amazing artists so I think the boys are in good hands musically. I would bet money on them being an instant hit when they debut.

 

(Also I hope Donghyun gets to release his songs under BNM's indie sublabel at some point. His songs are my jam.  )

[squishh]

oh my god you're been doing your homework! Do you know korean?

 

and thank you so much for these, you've worked really hard! 

 

Aww thanks!! I'm just really thirsty for Donghyun content. 

No, I wish I knew Korean! I've just gotten better at Naver/Google Translating things. xD 

 

 

New here!! Donghyun deserves more love   . Btw, what do you guys think Rhymer would do with Donghyun for the mean time? How high do you think the chances are for a sub-unit with Youngmin? 

 

Yayy welcome!! Yes, he does. Much much more.  

 

At least this thread is starting to come alive again!! <3

 

I think the chances are pretty high! It would be a huge waste for him to not capitalize on their popularity right now. Plus fans have been spamming him about DongPaca/YoungDongPo/YDSG for days. He knows what we want.

 

 

I wonder if there's a higher chance of a DongPaca duo project or a StarshipxBNM collab. A DongPaca unit would probably have a high energy song like what Boys&Girls should have been (or JJProjects's Bounce ) while a StarshipxBNM collab would probably be a sweet acoustic coffee shop jam.

Yup I think a StarshipxBNM collab has a high chance as of now. They all have decent popularity and their voices would mesh well (Dingdong and Ponyo<33). Plus, the 4 of them were constantly spotted together during the show so they'll probs get along well   

 

Rhymer better not mess their chances!

I dont have much to contribute to the thread, other than the fact that this dude has friggin ruined my life. He wasn't even my favourite but after watching his VLive I couldn't stop saving his photos lol. Add to the fact that hes so kind hearted and has so much love for his bnm members ugh I cant

I feel like anyone who takes the time to watch his vlive will develop a soft spot for him. Those 27 minutes really showcased his warm personality, smooth talking, sweet voice, and adorable smile. He's just so charming once you notice him!

So while we're waiting for BNM to let us in on what they're planning, let's appreciate Donghyun's taste in music.

 

Here are the 2 songs he recommended in his vlive:

 

 

 

 

 

They're both SO GOOD. I would love to hear him sing a song like the first one. 

 

Oh and of course, can't forget Hongdae Geondae:

 

 

 

This song just feels like Donghyun lol
