Cha Woongki, who starred in the BL series 'Love for Love's Sake' will officially be debuting in a new kpop boygroup! Thank you to everyone who voted for him!

[talkingsaxy]

just saw someone on twitter say “They weren’t meant for the planet. They were meant for the universe.” about woongki and shuaibo.... WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS

[ecfandom]

Sorry this took so incredibly long to finish! Polis 433 up next!

[100percentsorandom]

I just realized Woong Ki is more popular in the UL tags here than in Twitter. JL's tag is overwhelming in twitter. I mean, I only watch the Universe League for JL just like how I watched Universe Ticket for Elisia and Ghelee.

As much as I am happy to see JL won like the other two ladies, I wished they treat him well. Well, I got high hopes he'll be treated well in Korea. He seems to know how to attract fans, and he is so humble just like in PLUUS. Line distribution kindly left me disappointed on Gehlee's part though.

As much as I love JL, my worries is that he'll be choosing AHOF than PLUUS. (popularity wise and activity wise) I don't want him to leave in PLUUS (but his dream really is to become a kpop star, you can't change that) but whatever his dream takes him, I guess , as a Filipino like others, I will support him. Lemme be emotional for a bit, I just became a SUM hahaha.

This is actually the first time I watch a Korean Survival Show and actually am happy with the line up. Originally I came for JL but loving the whole gang after. lmao. Boredness of waiting every episode made me watch PLUUS video, making me a SUM lmao. It's kinda a bittersweet seeing JL win. I love seeing him happily winning but the worries of him leaving PLUUS still clings.

Anyways, i love the gang, the 9 members but the kpop name --- isn't. lmao. Gonna need a whole lot of time to get into it. lol

I just need to move on from this sh**. I need to detach. Got too attached with the contestants. lol

that is all.

AHOF- THATS THE NAME???

-----------------

Overall Thoughts?

Aside from starlight boys, I was watching another boy group survival show called Universe League. However, compared to the finale of Starlight boys, I was quite happy with the lineup except for one or two things. One of it is a minor debuting... even though there is one, that is too many. But compared to the ANOTHER boy group final lineup... AHOF is fortunate to have 8/9 be adults.

The lineup was expected because team rhythm dominated the online voting as to team Groove, who gained the most support from on-site voting. I was really surprised when the final voting was online ONLY?? that threw me off big time. However, the final lineup is definitely full of talented people, and it seems to be legit! So I shouldn't complain about that.

I was really stupid for thinking that the group was gonna be mixed from all teams 🥲 like it would be so cool to do the final lineup by using the ranking method from the previous round. For the finale, first place, the team will allow 4 people to debut, 2nd team will have 2, and 3rd will have 1. Then add 2 from the coaches' picks or something... or 3 x 3 would be interesting to see as well.. oh well..

I cried when Park han was announced because he was definitely one of the best on the show 😭 (im gonna need long hair siren han back), and woongki was expected of course 🫶 our main slayer~

The name is so funny. lol, it definitely sounds a lot better in Korean. But the meaning is cool, though. If I had to suggest names, I think League, but the g is a 9, so it would be spelled as LEA9UE would be cool. Or even WAR (we are ready) based on their title song. Like?? Plus, the mc kept asking us that question throughout the show. That name would be a response to that. Bruh, the show should've done a fan name instead.

The concept is refreshing, and the songs are amazing! Prison takes the cake 🎂

After that trainwreck of Starlight boys, universe league gave me hope 🙏

Overall, I enjoyed the show and don't regret spending 10 weeks waiting for each ep! Congrats to everyone who worked hard! Best of luck, AHOF!

Thursday Tunes, January 30, 2025 – "WAR (We Are Ready)" by Universe League

I wanted to take today’s Thursday Tunes to congratulate the winners of Universe League, AHOF. I watched the two-and-a-half-hour finale because I had been rooting for JL Gaspar and Steven Kim even if I didn’t watch the rest of the series. Both JL and Steven are my biases from their groups PLUUS and LUMINOUS, respectively. Two groups I like and am a fan of. Continue reading Thursday Tunes, January…

in all honesty it's not even BAD

close your eyes is not that bad of a name for a group like some of you are just key smashes

[theside-b]

🐻 time: Woongki succeeded in joining the AHOF line-up and got emotional seeing his parents friends Taevin and Joowan, who were there to support their kid friend.

Coincidence or not: Taevin's birthday is on the 22, while Love For Love's Sake premiered on the 23, and now Woongki managed to debut on a new group.

Hiiii, canon comp skz fic anon here, thank you so much for answering my question over with chanrizard :) Coming off anon because I have more questions if I may, please. Do we know if chris/felix/jisung/jeongin shared a room in the dorm too, or were they more evenly distributed across those three rooms that skz ended up taking over completely in ep 2 of the show? My understanding was that Changbin, Hyunjin, and Seungmin were also already around (basing this on how long they said they were trainees for from ep 1), tho presumably in a different dorm I guess? And that Minho joined as a trainee last... Sorry, just trying to get my timelines straight here before I write too much more fic *sweatdrop*

omg no problem of course!!!

based on what we see in the show, those 4 are already at the dorm space they seemed to keep until 2022-ish. this is what it looks like when we first see it:

they all end up moving their things around so i don't think they shared rooms necessarily, but definitely the dorm itself! i know for sure chris used to room with young k of day6 (and roomed with him the longest, i think they said abt 5 years), and if memory serves i believe bambam also shared with them (fun fact, they used to steal young k's mattress off of his bed and drag it around to eat fast food on)

i don't think it's ever really said by anyone, but i personally have always assumed people that live in seoul sort of used the dorms as needed if they're staying late (which was...a lot), but those who had come from overseas or other parts of korea that were too far had more permanent spots in the dorms (of course), or maybe had separate ones even based on that distinction.

i think they also tried to keep them pretty close to each "debut group", but not necessarily stuck to it, but for reference the original debut group for skz was chan, allen (now in cravity), jisung, changbin, steven (now in luminous/ahof), hyunjin, jeongin, yao chen (former r1se member now a soloist), seungmin, felix,🤢woojin, and minho at the very tail end. cute pic of (most) of them all here (p sure thats minho in the very bottom lmao)!

which if u want a brief history lesson for some backstory:

yao chen ended up going to a chinese boy group called r1se (that...no longer exists but he's v successful solo now! i do wonder if he was actually meant to be in boy story but was perhaps a bit too old/concepts were changed? their oldest are 04 liners LMAO) and allen was actually meant to be in it as well but apparently didnt like the idea so he ended up going to starship and minho ended up taking allen's spot in the group and show despite being there like barely two months (p sure allen had been in there for a WHILE). steven's never said anything about why he left jyp, but he was on produce 101 and i'm p sure left sometime after that (common).

there was an additional almost member named john aquino who ended up moving back to america, but he's met up with them before on tour and also put up one of the funniest instagram stories i've ever seen of him putting bottoms up by trey songz to the my house cover chris did calling him mr.stealyourgirl because he "has that kind of vibe about him" (also realized getting this tweet the Youth™️ do not know abt this song and have proceeded to make a big deal abt it and taking it as like....Fact and serious bc they didn't live through the swag era like some of us). here's another funny ass tweet w/ some posts. i think this is the funniest way i've ever seen somebody refer to him as being sexy by saying he could take anyone because he's so hot and charismatic (it's also soooooo late millennial/early gen z of him sLKSDJGLKSD john reminds me of young k's old friend from toronto terry actually)

other boys who were considered i believe at some point: yuchan and byeongkwan, who both left in abt 2016 to go to beat interactive and debuted in a.c.e (yuchan and chris were the treadmill zombies in the twice mv for like ooh-ahh!) and daehwi and woojin from ab6ix!

all that to say i have to assume all these boys were in these dorms at one point given they were all overseas trainees (yao chen from china, steven from sydney, and allen and john from the us), so if anyone was bunking there it was them, which would also explain why those beds were empty now since they were no longer part of the debut project. i wanna say maybe allen and chris shared a room at some point but i can't put fact to that, but allen has a lot of stories about chris's mom so they were close! if you want the order of who joined:

chris (2010), jisung (2014-2015-ish), jeongin, hyunjin, changbin, woojin (2015-2016), felix, seungmin (2016/2017, seungmin passed an open audition, felix finished out his school year), minho (2017)

lmk if this helps any!!! old jyp lore is my favorite topic 😊

Does anyone have any ideas on what these upcoming boy groups' concepts gonna be?

---------------------

Polarix

Honestly, I think the group has a more mature image compared to other survival bgs. So my best bet is something similar to Sf9 and 2pm? I can imagine them performing like Sf9 now or never.... I think good guy concept would also work as well. Also, hangyul auditioning with a 2pm song and covering them for the generation battle got me feeling something... (he is so 2nd Gen coded). Concept like my house or heartbeat would eat. Something with suits is the vibes

AHOF

I would think they suit a concept similar to Ateez the real! They have such high energy and are amazing performers. Or they might do a high school sports theme concept like the show (teen crush concept to be safe?). But like, imagine jl and Han doing jongho high note... 😭🙏

Close your eyes

Now, I actually gave up watching toward the end because my main, minseo, got eliminated. However, I kept up due to fanpages and came across their official page. It's giving a youthful, nostalgic concept? Considering the ages, I think something school related or childhood nostalgia. Their post reminds me of New Jeans bubble gum. It would be funny if they did a noise and edgy concept, hehe...

These are just my opinions, of course ^^ also the battle for best new boy group / rookie bg 2025 is gonna be intense, and I can't wait...

What do y'all think? 🤔
