Boys Planet Episode 6, Part 1 Recap

Alright, let’s cover Episode 6 with my usual mix of commentary, thoughts, analysis, reminders, screen caps, and silliness.

By the way, I’m trying to keep my page a safe place to visit (or follow) even if you’re way behind-- I’ll make sure there are no spoilers above the “read more”.

If you want to jump to my take on one of the songs click below:

Gang and Zoom

Home and Love Killa

Law and Man in Love

Rush Hour

Limousine

Feel Special

Not Spring

Butterfly

Tomboy

We start at 45 seconds in with a partial ranking, including votes so far (no distinction is made between K and G votes, or if these have already been blended using MNET math). Since 28 is the new cut off, this range may be of interest to us Star Creators. Here’s what they tell us, and I threw in their mission song and their rank as of the elimination in the previous episode:

24 Lee Seung Hwan Danger 507,3381 (20)

25 Cai Jin Xin Hot Sauce 419,853 (50)

26 Ollie Hot Sauce 405,996 (28)

27 Hiroto Very Nice 389,175 (21)

28 Ma Jing Xiang Very Nice 366,570 (32)

29 Lee Jeong Hyeon LMR 349,008 (39)

30 Mun Jung Hyun Very Nice 336,421 (23)

31 Anthonny LMR 285,564 (19)

32 Jung Min Gyu Very Nice 266,096 (27)

None of the top 18 from the previous ranking has fallen into this range (though for all we know they could have fallen further, though it seems unlikely). Most of them are roughly where they were before, though the biggest story is definitely Cai Jin Xin, who was 50th at the first elimination and has jumped to 25th. It’s also worth noting that Anthonny has fallen from 19th to 31st -- kind of a big fall in context.

Next, we can skip past the intro and recap to 1:39. The trainees are gathering to talk about their feelings… sort of. Because really this is a prank, and the staff has this woman made up to look like a scary ghost appear in front of them, and then when they run backward, a man in an obvious mask rush at them from behind. I don’t really love pranks, so I’ll focus on stuff I do enjoy:

I like how the boys seem to be sitting in sort of random groups, not all K or all G, and they seem comfortable with each other. I hate the K-G competition stuff, and I’m so glad they do too. Like, I worry about the world and how we’re getting along with each other as a planet and stuff like this makes me feel a little better, that the basic spirit of empathy and friendship prevails even when MNET tries to drive a wedge between them.

Haruto is wearing a tiara.

3. The mask the monster is wearing looks like it cost $3.99 at Family Dollar and I’m kind of here for it

4. Park JiHoo barely reacting to it, saying, “I told you, they totally would do this! They had to do scary stuff!” Ok, Park JiHoo, you just won me over.

5:02 in, the episode actually starts!

The boys all come in, and now they’re all wearing simple long sleeved white t-shirts that either say K or G, along with name tags that have their rank and name on them. I’m going to reproduce their current name and ranks here, so if at any time you are feeling like “who is that?” you can consult the list. They’re all wearing name tags with their numbers on them, so it’ll be easy enough, I hope!

The white shirts don’t look good on any of them. Also, they all look tired. They’ve been instructed by the producers to wonder aloud about who the new star master will be (I assume). Kim Tae Rae is hoping it’ll be Hyolyn (from Sistar), and I mean, yes? That’d be great.

But it’s Huta (Lee Minhyuk) from BTOB! A lot of the trainees seem really overwhelmed, especially Cha Woongki, who is freaking out, Kermit-meme style. For the record, BToB debuted in 2012, and Huta was born in 1990. I liked his song “Ya” a few years back. He also has a song called “Boom” that I’d never heard but it’s got a great pre-chorus. He likes to go shirtless sometimes, and it seems like the people like it, judging by the “most played” sections of his videos. Side note: BTOB is signed under Cube, which is the same agency that Hui and his group Pentagon are from, so Huta is probably a sunbae/hyung to Hui. They don't seem to greet each other, though, so who knows.

Huta checks in with international sweetheart, Sung Hanbin, about how he feels about being ranked first place (“It made me think I should work harder from now on!”) and then checks in with Jeong I-chan, ranked 52nd, about how he feels barely having made it (“I’ll work harder from now on!”). Huta tells them all, basically, to never give up, or something, and they’re all touched. Now that everyone has decided to work harder, let’s give them a challenge!

Side note: Jeong I-chan seems to be in a better headspace now than he was at the elimination ceremony, so that’s good.

Huta reveals the challenge: A Dual Position Battle.

For the “Vocal & Rap” performances, they have to rearrange a song and write new raps.

For the “Vocal & Dance” performances, they have to rearrange the song and come up with their own choreography.

For the “Rap & Dance” performances, they have to write a new rap and come up with new choreography.

Considering that very few of these performers are likely to know how to do any of these skills, this is going to be a challenge. It’s especially cruel to expect non-native speakers of Korean to write a rap in Korean -- I wonder if they’re allowed to write a rap in English, if they speak that? Enough raps in K-pop songs are 50%+ in English that it wouldn't be unrealistic for them to write in English. I mean, risky risky wiggy wiggy this is an emergency, you know?

Huta says, “the dual position battle will also be a battle between K and G,” and they’re all like SELMA???? (REALLLY??????) Huta doesn’t even have the heart (or cue-card reading skills) to drag out the joke, and almost immediately tells them that no, he was just kidding -- they can completely ignore the K/G divide from now on. They are all super happy to hear that. I’m happy, too!

The songs are:

Vocal & rap:

Tomboy, originally by G-Idle; Limousine originally by BE’O, which I admit I wasn't familiar with; Man in Love originally by Infinite, which came out in 2013 and I’m not familiar with; and Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms, originally by High4 and IU.

They’re all super excited for Tomboy, which was a massive hit. The older trainees remember Man in Love, but the younger ones have never even heard of it.

Vocal & Dance

Butterfly, originally by BTS; Feel Special originally by Twice; Love Killer originally by Monsta X; Home by Seventeen

At the announcement of the Twice song, Cha Woongki starts doing the choreo, and Seo Won says, “are you ready for the group of queens?” which is important foreshadowing. You guys, I am not going to speculate on anyone’s sexuality, especially since in Korea, being gay is still considered a mental illness by many, but I will say that a lot of guys on this show are surprisingly comfortable with their feminine side, and I’m here for it! Zhang Shai Bo is losing it, since Feel Special is his favorite song of all time, and I mean, same.

Love Killer is also my favorite song of all time. It was my ring tone for a long time until my fella got sick of my phone saying “Oh, I’m sorry, did I make you anxious?” every time someone tried to reach me about my car's extended warranty.

Side note: Krystian seems to have redone his hair a bit, dying it a bit darker and dying his eyebrows brown again, and it looks miles better. I’m glad to see it.

Rap & Dance

Law by Yoon Mi Rae and Bibi; Rush Hour by Crush; Zoom by Jessi; and Gang by H1ghr music.

The trainees are overwhelmed at the idea of trying to improve on a song by Bibi, which is the correct way to feel, since Bibi is a goddess who walks amongst us. Rush Hour was already sung by Jay and Kamden in the Star Level Test, and no one wants to compete with Jay’s vocals.

At the reveal of Zoom, Takuto says, IN KOREAN, to Haruto, “I like this song so much I set it as my morning alarm.” Two things: Takuto, you learned a lot of Korean! His pronunciation sounds good to me, not that I’m the best judge, but yeah. He could be speaking Japanese to Japanese-speaking Haruto, but he’s choosing Korean -- that’s big. Also, Takuto likes Jessi? That’s a relief, because I can’t take someone who is all aegyo all the time.

My little cousin Kum Jung Hyeon says he’ll never do Gang, never-never-cherlte-cherlte, so you know he’ll end up doing it.

At 15:10 in, Huta begins to explain how song selection will work, and basically, it’s this -- the lowest ranked people go first, and choose a song, but if someone higher ranked wants to push them out, they can. If you get pushed out, you have to go to a song that has room in it. Unlike in previous seasons, the arrival of a newer person doesn’t automatically kick out the lowest ranked person, though. Instead, the new person chooses the person they want to kick out. So this will be extra awkward.

The members of the team that wins within each category will get 100,000 points each, and the one who gets the most votes within that team will also get 150,000 extra points. Also, the three teams that win get to go on MNET and get special online promotion.

Since MNET spent their whole budget on those matching pajamas that time, this is the best they can do for a set for the song selection process, which runs from about 17:00 to 31:00.

Is that duct tape forming the lanes? I love the chandeliers just sort of hanging there from the ceiling, just the perfect compliment for that elementary-school style indestructible gray carpet.

I’m not going to recap the song selection beat for beat, but here are some things I enjoyed or thought were interesting:

Tomboy is the most popular and fought over song, followed closely by Love Killa.

Krystian got a real evil edit for pushing someone out -- they were all pushing each other out like that, but only he looks "evil."

The Rap/dance songs filled up the most slowly.

I loved Ma Xing Jiang confirming that he’s in front of the correct song by doing a little of the choreo (since maybe reading English isn’t a specialty of his).

I think it’s a bummer that Yoon Jong Woo can’t do Love Killa, since I think he’d suit it really well. But I don’t know why he chose to do Home -- he said he wanted to do a performance with Seung Eun, but I still don’t understand.

It was also a bit sad when Ricky got kicked out of Love Killa, party because I think he’d be great at it and partly because he really wanted to work with Mr. Sexy Kim Ji Woong.

I don’t think Matthew should have taken Tomboy. I think he would have done better with a lighter, sweeter concept song.

I loved it when my little cousin Kum Jeong Hyun just wanted to have General Gunwook on his own team and so was begging Sungbin to kick out Gunwook

I loved Lee SeungHwan just being like, "yeah, alright, I’ll rap and dance, heck yeah," when he got kicked out of his team. That’s the spirit, dude! I keep low-key forgetting who Lee SeungHwan is, so I double checked. He was on the Mirotic team for the Star Level test, and he was the put-upon and hard-working leader of Lee Da Eul’s very own personal song, Danger by BTS. Oh yeah! Him! He’s a peach. 🍑

We learn, via a subtitle that is hardly addressed, that our sweet Lee Hwanhee, the main vocalist from Kill This Love-K (who is also from the nugu group Up10tion), has left the show due to health issues. I hope he’s ok. He can still sing, at least!

We also find out that the Top 9 get these fairly ugly windbreaker jackets to wear, so that’s... good…? I guess...? Also, I wonder if these fine themed garments are available for purchase at a store near me at an unreasonable price, so I can show my love for the boys through consumerism.

Team: Love Killa

Shirt color: Dark blue

Seok Matthew (2) All I Wanna Do / KTL - G 20 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Kim Ji Woong (3) Mirotic / BD- K 24 ⭐⭐⭐ Kim Gyu Vin (6) Kick It / LMR - K 18 ⭐⭐⭐ Seo Won (18) Attention / Very Nice - K 22 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Seo Won feels bad as the only non-top 9 on the team -- he’s worried he will drag the team down.

Matthew wants to be the leader to prove he’s not a baby who needs to be taken care of. I get the feeling that Kim Ji Woong doesn’t really like being the leader, and is only too happy to hand over the reins.

When it comes time to pick someone for the killing part, English pronunciation becomes an issue, and Matthew correctly says that the feeling matters more than pronunciation since they can always work on pronunciation later. They give the part to Kim Ji Woong, which is really a good call, though I think Kim Gyuvin would do a great job at it too.

Team: Feel Special

Shirt color: Light Blue

Leader: Cai Jin Xin

Cha Woong Ki (25) Bloom Bloom / Very Nice - K 20 ⭐⭐ Zhang Shuai Bo (36) Reveal / BD - G 21 ⭐ Lee Dong Gun (48) Criminal (shoes) / Hot Sauce - K 17 ⭐⭐ Cai Jin Xin (50) Reveal / Hot Sauce - G 19 🚫

Cai Jin Xin says, “I love our team,” in English, and (a) his English is really well pronounced and (b) me too!! Woongki says the team is well balanced, because they have two G and two K team members. Also, as Jin Xin points out, “only the pretty guys are here.” I will say that this seems to be the Team Full of Queens that Seo Won prophesied earlier, and again, I am totally here for it.

They are realizing that it might be a tough job, because they’re all comparatively low ranked, and also, the music is really high pitched. They are given a version of the song in a lower key, but I feel like they could lower it further, right? They are allowed to rearrange the song. Because it’s so high, no one wants the main vocal, or even a normal amount of stage time. Woongki, who seems to be taking on an actual leadership role in addition to the Killing Part, encourages the others to be confident, saying that this might be their last stage so they should take the chance to stand in the center one more time. He interviews later on that he’s never had to beg people to take parts before!

Team: Home

Jay (9) Rush Hour / LMR - G 21 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Yoo Seung Eon (17) Kick It / Very Nice - K 19 ⭐⭐⭐ Dang Hong Hai (33) View / LMR - G 19 ⭐⭐⭐ Yoon Jong Woo (38) Mirotic / BD - K 22 ⭐ Ji Yun Seo (47) Kick It / BD - K 18 ⭐⭐⭐

They’re distributing the parts, which of course is tricky here since there are a lot of great vocalists on this team. Ji Hoon is still really really bummed to not get to work on Love Killa, but he’s consoled a bit by getting to work with a good team who seem to all respect and like him.

The original choreo is a lot, and the chorus is really high. Naturally they give the main vocals to titanium voiced Yoo Seung Eon whose voice is like, Exo quality. I love Kim Tae Rae, but I have to admit that Seung Eon is the best vocalist on the show, better even than Hui.

The team is trying to decide who will take which dance position, so they dance to “Na bina”, which is kind of funny.

Team: Butterfly

Shirt color: White

Positions: Vocal and Dance

Leader: Chen Kuan Jui

Chen Kuan Jui (26) Tiger Inside / KTL - G 22 ⭐⭐⭐ Lim Jun Seo (30) Replay/ Danger - K 17 ⭐ Cong (35) View / Very Nice - G 22 ⭐⭐⭐ Brian (41) Kick It - G / BD - G 20 ⭐

This team has a nice sense of camaraderie.

Lim Jun Seo is lacking in skills, and is open about that, which I have mixed feelings about. Honesty is good, but you need to have a positive attitude. The other boys on the team promise to help him -- Chen Kaun Jui offers to help him with his dancing, and Cong offers to help with his singing, saying, in Korean, “I too. Vocal.” Jun Seo replies by calling him “hyung,” which makes Cong smile. Cong’s Korean is obviously still a bit elementary; that’s not a criticism, just a note. I have all the sympathy in the world for the global trainees who don’t know Korean.

Incidentally, we see in a flashback that Lee Da Eul volunteered both of them to go first on the first day, and he did that knowing that Jun Seo did NOT want to go first, and I’ll let all 2-3 of you reading this decide for yourself whether that’s a cool thing to do or not.

Anyway, they are trying to decide who gets the killing part based on freestyle dance, and Jun Seo is like, so we’ll learn the choreo quickly? And it’s like, no honey, no, you sweet child. Once he realizes what freestyle means, he’s out. I’m like, “Just give the killing part to CKJ already, because you know he deserves it,” and they do.

I hate that the story is mostly about Jun Seo, instead of being about the far more talented Chen Kuan Jui. I didn’t like CKJ much at first that much for whatever reason, but he’s grown on me a lot. I think he’s sweet, hard working, and an incredible dancer. I don’t think he’ll make it onto the final lineup, but I hope we keep seeing him around the kpop verse.

Team: Gang

This team consists of mostly people who got kicked out of the song they wanted. So, their spirits are kind of low. My little cousin and noted yeller Kum Jun Hyeon is bummed out -- he really wanted that bleepin’ Tomboy. And none of them have any experience making choreo. I do think that my little muffin Mun Jung Hyun knows something about rapping, and that maybe Lee Jeong Hyeon does too, so fingers crossed.

Side note: Chen Jian Yu looks great with his current hair color. Miles better than the light blue and also better than the dark color he had in the Star Level Test.

No one steps forward to make the choreo, so my little cousin Kum Jun Hyeon finally steps up, saying, “Although I can’t guarantee the quality, if I didn’t do it, I didn’t think anyone else could do it.” I find that very charming. Fighting, little cuz!

WHAT KIND OF PERFORMANCE WILL THEY PREPARE???? We’ll find out…

Team: Zoom

Shirt color: Dark blue

Positions: Rap and Dance

Leader: Keita

Keita (8) Conduct Zero /KTL - G 21 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Haruto (16) Glitch Mode/ LMR - G 18 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ollie (28) Kick It - G /Hot Sauce - G 16 🚫 Wumuti (43) UN Village/ LMR - G 23 ⭐⭐ Park Hyunbeen (49) GBTB/ Hot Sauce - K 17 ⭐⭐⭐

Keita, who is really feeling himself, says that he likes the song and wanted to do it, and adds, “I thought things would go well if I came to lead this team, regardless of whoever came or was here already.” Like, he’s not wrong.

Naturally, they make him leader -- I knew that as soon as I saw that he was on the team.

And they start practicing the Killing Part -- it’s that beginning part, “I see you looking at my P-I-C,” and they all want it. Hyunbeen says that they’re all wary and competitive with each other, and he’s especially desperate to win the extra points because of his low rank. He wins the killing part, though, so he’s over the moon. Oh god, are the judges going to tell his team to give the killing part to someone else?

Team: Law

Shirt color: White

Positions: Rap and Dance

Leader: Park Hanbin

Trainee name (rank) Star Level test Challenge 1 age final star level

Han Yu Jin (4) Kick It BD - K 15 ⭐⭐⭐ Park Hanbin (22) The Real Hot Sauce - K 20 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wang Zi Hao (29) Veil KTL - G 21 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Na Kamden (31) Rush Hour BD - G 21 ⭐⭐⭐ Lee Ye Dam (42) Gambler LMR - K 20 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This team is excited to be working together at first -- both Wang Zi Hao and Lee Yedam are among the very best dancers on the show. However, most of them are not really rappers -- they’re just vocalists. Park Hanbin says, “I rap like I’m reading a book.” Hey, we saw Lee Yedam rap in his Star Level test, and he was really good! But they’re worried anyway -- most of them don’t specialize in rapping and they don’t know how to write lyrics. Oh no! A lot of trainees I really like are on this team. Well, to be fair, I like almost all the trainees at this point, so I could say that about pretty much any of the teams.

It does seem that Na Kamden has some vague idea of how to write rap, at least. That’s really all you need -- one person who can write a rap and teach it to the others. Fighting, Kamden! Yujin steps up, too, saying, “I did learn a bit about rap.” Meanwhile, the other three can make the choreo. They’re going to get through it!

Side note: Did they make Han Yujin at the same laboratory where they made Sung Hanbin? Do they also make purse sized dragons there? Little dragons that will love you and be loyal to you? Is that the kind of thing they also make at this laboratory? I hope I can visit there someday.

Team: Rush Hour

Shirt color: Light Blue

Positions: Rap and Dance

Leader: Oh Sungmin

Time stamp: 52:23 Screen time: 2:57

Trainee name (rank) Star Level test Challenge 1 age final star level

Ricky (12) Kick It - G /BD - G 18 ⭐⭐ Takuto (15) Instead Of... /Danger - G 15 ⭐ Hiroto (21) Conduct Zero /Very Nice - G 20 ⭐⭐ Ma Jing Xiang (32) Reveal /Very Nice - G 19 🚫 Oh Sung Min (34) Bloom Bloom /LMR - K 21 ⭐⭐⭐

By the time we visit them, they’re already dancing. We can see from their sign thing in the background that Ricky has the Killing Part, and is both main dancer and main rapper; and we watch as Oh Sungmin is unanimously voted the leader. He’s the oldest, he used to be in a debuted group (TOO/T01) and he’s also the only 3 star (and there aren’t any 4 stars). So, that makes sense. But it does seem odd to me to be starting the choreography when they haven’t written their raps yet…?

Naturally, it’s hard to teach Takuto. You can see that he’s doing the steps more like they’re the steps from “Na Bina.” Sungmin is trying -- he even says “Daijobou?” to Takuto, which is Japanese for “Ok?” -- but he’s going too fast for someone like Takuto, and he’s going to need to break it down a LOT more.

Meanwhile, Ma Jing Xiang is trying to move ahead, and there’s an interview from Hiroto about how MJX is just “thinking about himself,” how he did the same thing in Very Nice, trying to learn the choreo from the K-team who were so far ahead. Ricky apparently is studying the choreography video, and again, we’re told that this is bad, but why? Ricky speaks a few languages and is a kind soul, and I bet he’s trying to learn the choreo at least in part to be able to help his teammates. But the show makes this looks selfish, and Oh Sungmin interviews, “We need to work on our teamwork first.”

I don’t understand this take. Why does the word “teamwork” seem to mean “We have to get Takuto step-perfect on each dance phrase before the team can go to the next phrase”? Couldn’t teamwork mean, “We work on different things to get the whole job done”? Doesn’t it only benefit the team to have more people who know the choreo and music in general? While Takuto does the same 10 steps over and over, why should the whole team do that? Especially considering that Takuto is in the safety zone, rank wise, while MJX is definitely not and needs to do everything in his power to put on a good show. Takuto can go ahead and screw this up and he’ll still probably make it through the next elimination round. And that’s a bummer, but that’s how these shows are.

Ok, let me out myself. I’m a teacher. WHAT? Yeah. I am. I don’t work at a school -- I teach adults, who sometimes are older than me, as well as teenagers and little kids. It’s a weird job and I’m not YOUR teacher so don’t worry about it, ok? Alright. So we go that out of the way. And the thing about being a good teacher is that you have a responsibility to the students who are ahead just as much as to the students who are behind, and a lot of teachers don’t know how to fulfill that obligation.

And it’s not really Oh Sungmin’s fault that he doesn’t know how to be a really great teacher, but I think that if I were there, I’d advise him to not worry right now about Takuto getting the choreo perfect. It’s going to take a lot of work before that happens, and it’s not going to be today. They should be going for the big picture, and making sure that everyone has a chance to get the basics of their routine down so that it becomes possible for people to do individual practice later. It’s like putting together the frame of the jigsaw puzzle first, and then putting together the pieces in the middle. The frame helps you get started and know where to put the other pieces.

Ok that was probably more than you cared to read but anyway. That’s how I feel. This is dumb and irritating.

On to the next team!

Team: Man in Love

Positions: Vocal and Rap

Leader: Lee Dong Yeol

Kim Tae Rae (11) The Real BD - K 20 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Jung Min Gyu (27) My House (Red) Very Nice - K 23 🚫 Lee Dong Yeol (40) Who Very Nice - K 24 ⭐ Choi Woo Jin (51) Nunu Nana Hot Sauce - K 18 ⭐

They’ve elected Dongyeol, who is a member of the group Up10tion, their leader, and that makes sense.

The team is sitting around listening to the song, and Mingyu is saying it’s nostalgic for him, and WAIT is that a hickey on TaeRae’s neck?

I mean it’s not. Is it? It’s not. It can’t be. But also, whoever makes out with TaeRae, please be gentle to his neck, ok? That’s where he keeps his singing parts. He needs those. For singing.

Anyway, the team is talking about how much they like the song. Mingyu and Dongyeol, age 23 and 24 respectively, remember and like the song, while Tae Rae didn’t know it before but liked it when he heard it prior to song selection. Tae Rae thinks it suits his voice well, and Mingyu agrees, interviewing that he’s grateful that Tae Rae joined the team. I'm grateful that Tae Rae joined life!

They each try the killing part, and Dongyeol sings a bit, and his voice is actually much better than I thought it was, though he cracks a bit. When he’s done, no one reacts, so he applauds a tiny bit for himself until everyone else joins in. Aww. Then TaeRae sings and it’s so nice. It’s just… yeah. Listen, I know that titanium voice kid, Yoo Seung Eon, has a better voice, but I like TaeRae’s better. It’s like how Chen from EXO has a better voice than D.O., but I’d rather listen to D.O.

Meanwhile, Choi Woojin is having trouble even finding the note to sing. I’m kind of surprised he chose vocals, but maybe he was scared to write a rap? In that case, what is he good at? I watched his Hot Sauce and Nunu Nana performances, and he was basically a backup dancer in both -- he doesn’t seem to be a vocalist in any way, either as a singer or a rapper. What a bummer that we lost Hong Keon Hee and Kim Min Seong, because both of those were in the Nunu Nana group with him and both did a much better job in their various performances.

Red house Mingyu sings really really loud, apparently, and Woojin sings very quietly, so this will be tough.

Anthonny (19) Glitch Mode /LMR - G 19 ⭐⭐⭐ Krystian (37) Call Me Baby /BD - G 23 ⭐⭐ Park Ji Hoo (44) Freak /Hot Sauce - K 16 ⭐⭐⭐

Anthonny has been elected leader, but Park Jihoo ends up kind of stepping up to lead. He suggests that they think about what the song is really about -- it’s about a man achieving his dreams. They’re working on achieving their own dreams, so he thinks they can focus on that in their raps.

Trainees writing raps about how they’re trainees who want to debut?

Krystian is on his Very Best Behavior, and calls Jihoo, “Park Jihoo-shi,” which is kind of ridiculous given that Jihoo is seven years younger than him. He would still be polite in Korean standards to call him “Jihoo-ah” or something like that, and I bet he knows that.

Krystian calls him “mature” (in English), and since he can’t find the right word in Korean, explains it as, “you know what you’re doing.” And Jihoo agrees: “Genius, genius,” he says in English, of himself. Jihoo is a hoot.

(Incidentally, Jihoo says he’s 18, because he uses the Korean age system, which says you’re a year old at birth, and that also calculates your age based on the year it is, whether or not your birthday has happened yet. So he’s really 16, and will be turning 17 in July, by international standards.)

Trainee name (rank) Star Level test /Challenge 1 age final star level

Lee Da Eul (13) Replay /Danger - K 18 🚫 Bak Do Ha (24) My House (Blue)/ Hot Sauce - K 20 🚫 Jung I Chan (52) Mirotic /Danger - K 20 ⭐⭐

Oh boy. This team. MNET gives them exactly one minute of screen time and most of that is just mocking their past performances.

I think Bak Doha is a decent guy who just needed better advice from his agency and more realistic goals in life, and I hope he makes it as an actor. Jung I-chan has been at this a long time and must have some talent or he wouldn’t keep making it halfway on shows like this, but he’s yet to really prove himself at a key moment. And you guys know how I feel about Lee Daeul -- I don’t like being unkind so I literally cannot say anything about him, whether it be about his personality, past behavior, or observable skill set. It would be such a redemption moment if any of these three could do something great in their performance, but I’m not exactly holding my breath. I’ll say though that I-chan has the best attitude he can have, considering.

Team: Tomboy

Shirt color: White (but basically, purple/blue top-9 jackets)

Positions: Vocal and Rap

Leader: Hui

Time stamp: 1:01:05 Screen time: 5:25, the longest of any team by a full minute

Trainee name (rank) Star Level test Challenge 1 age final star level

Sung Hanbin (1) Beautiful Beautiful LMR - K 21 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Zhang Hao (5) Kick It - G KTL - G 22 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hui (7) Shut Down LMR - K 29 ⭐⭐⭐ Park Gunwook (10) GBTB KTL - K 18 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This team is a little TOO stacked. Three of them are top 9, and General Gunwook is in 10th place. They have three excellent leaders on the team -- Hui, Zhang Hao, and Gunwook would all make excellent leaders. And they have three excellent candidates for a center/killing part roll - basically, anyone but Hui would do a fantastic job at it. (Not that Hui can’t, but the others are that bit better.)

Gunwook says, “You can’t have a better team than this. As if I were Liu Bei, who gained Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, my shoulders kept rising.”

Ok, a few things about this. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Koreans talk about “shoulders rising” as if that indicates pride or confidence -- maybe it’s a bit like “holding your head up high” in English idiom. Makes intuitive sense, too.

Next, it’s as if General Gunwook knows that I call him General Gunwook, because he’s making a reference to Liu Bei. Lui Bei was a Chinese warlord (born in the year 166) who founded Shu Han, one of the Three Kingdoms of China. Liu Bei gathered a team together during the Yellow Turban Revolution of 184, which I’m sure you already know all about, and gathered a group of loyal followers, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. So Gunwook is positing himself as a Warlord Emperor, and his teammates as his loyal generals. Love it.

The show seems to be implying that Gunwook is a little too solicitous of his team, fetching the lyric sheet and getting pens for them and stuff, but that’s what you do when you’re a polite younger person in Korean culture, and Gunwook is a polite guy. Of course he’ll get a pen for someone who is 11 years older than him!

Zhang Hao says that Gunwook was scary in Kill This Love, but now he’s a cute and sweet dongsaeng (younger sibling/friend). He seems genuinely surprised, but I’m not at all. Gunwook expands to fill the space -- if no leader is present, he’ll lead, and if one is present, he’ll follow. He’s a General, but he recognizes Hui as a Major General, and will follow commands. He’s also smart and wouldn’t want to look like a rude kid on TV!

Zhang Hao really wants the killing part, and so do Sung Hanbin and Hui. I think Zhang Hao is by far the best, and General Gunwook agrees with me, but the win goes to Sung Hanbin. That’s kind of a bummer but given how popular he is I guess it’ll work out well for the team. Zhang Hao is a class act -- he’s bummed, but he knows that Hanbin is also really good. So he sets himself the challenge of being able to rap quickly in Korean, reasoning that if Yuqi from G-Idle can do it, so can he! Hanbin is helping him and he’s improving already. Zhang Hao, fighting!

Side note: Kind of funny that they’re not acknowledging that Hui is from the same agency (Cube) that G-Idle is from. Hui probably knows Soyeon and Yuqi and the girls, at least in passing. I kind of wonder whether Hui and Soyeon get along? They’re both music producers who lead their teams and take responsibility for their members, so they have all that in common. On the other hand, sometimes people don’t like each other if they’re too much alike. Man, imagine if Soyeon and Hui teamed up, Triple-H style? Or even better, just a Pentagon/G-Idle crossover group, NCT style, where they just use whichever members from either group that would work in a particular song? Sigh. A girl can dream.

And with that, we’ve reached the end of this part of the Recap! Click here to go to Part 2, which is my discussion of Gang and Zoom!

Or if you'd prefer, you can scroll up to the top and look at one of the other songs! Or if you'd prefer, you can go on to Episode 8.

Thanks for being here! <3

SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER ( PART 1 OUT OF 1 ) SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.

on JANUARY 8, days before VERSUS’ comeback, they met with their manager, KYUHWAN.

VERSUS COMEBACK

during this time, the boys ( including JAESUN ) will be having their music show promotions starting on JANUARY 16 in ‘THE SHOW’. the promotions will go on for three weeks. as for their wins, VERSUS would have won number one in the music charts 4 times ( 2 from THE SHOW, 1 from SHOW! CHAMPION, 1 from M! COUNTDOWN, and 1 from MUSIC BANK; all except the second THE SHOW win were during the second week of promotions. the second THE SHOW win was during the third week of promotions )

ALEX, YEONWOO, and TEE will be making a guest appearance on HANWOO RADIO with BTOB’s EUNKWANG as the DJ for JANUARY 17TH’s episode. during that segment, the members will talk about their thoughts regarding their album, play some quiz games about their group and members, and answer some fan letters.

the three of them will also be featured on the JANUARY 26TH, FEBRUARY 2ND, and FEBRUARY 16TH episodes of ‘STARS’ TOP RECIPE FOR FUN-STAURANT’ as the guest panelists where they will be reacting and commenting on some of the unique dishes made related to the central theme ( for this, it will be SNACKS ). filming wise, all of this will be done over the course of 1-2 days and done whenever all three of them have free days in their schedule.

in between all of this, they will also be having fansign events with their fans which will last until FEBRUARY 3.

LUNAR NEW YEAR GREETINGS

a couple of days before LUNAR NEW YEAR ( FEBRUARY 10 ), all of the VERSUS members will be dressed up in traditional clothing and record a lunar new year greeting for all of the fans which will be posted on the V&A’s youtube channel.

PROJECT ORIGIN EXHIBITION & SHOWCASE

“with the release of the OSTs and the start of the animation series, LEGACY has invited the debuted groups to take part in the PROJECT ORIGIN EXHIBITION & SHOWCASE, which is scheduled to happen on FEBRUARY 23. on this day, there will be the unveiling of the exhibition where the costumes used during both the original and second reiteration of the musical will be displayed. among that are some of the memorabilia we have collected from all of the groups participating, so this includes costumes and props used during some of the past future dreams seasons, year end ceremonies and much more.” KYUHWAN continues on while remaining enthusiastic about the whole event. “later on that day, there will be a showcase where the groups will be performing the webtoon OSTs and since this will be happening after the airing of the future dreams season 7 finale, YEONWOO will be given a chance to perform ‘BAD 4 U’.”

V&A REACTS TO…

the ‘V&A REACTS TO’ series has resumed once again, this time they will be doing it with one video to promote their senior artist, HARU! HARU will be releasing ‘WIND AND WISH’ on MARCH 19, but because of schedules they will be inviting YUSHIN, JIHO, and YEONWOO ( also known as YUJIWON ) to react to their song. the reaction will be posted on MARCH 21 and will include the other legacy artists.

K2MT POD

just like YUJIWON had their own podcast months ago, this time around it will be KEEHO, MAXIMILIAN, ALEX, and TEE. this will follow a similar pattern with YUJIWON’s pod in that they will have a set number of episodes and discuss various topics. most of these will be filmed sometime around FEBRUARY to MARCH depending on their schedules.

EPISODE 1 ( KEEHO, MAXIMILIAN, ALEX, TEE / AIRING MARCH 20 ): introduction of the podcast, hobbies that they’re into nowadays, thoughts about the latest fashion trends.

EPISODE 2 ( KEEHO / AIRING MARCH 27 ): getting to know KEEHO. since it’s a solo podcast episode, it would basically be an episode about getting to know him, his interests, his legacy audition, concept(s) you want to try, show that you want to be a part of, etc.

EPISODE 3 ( MAXIMILIAN / AIRING APRIL 3 ): getting to know MAXIMILIAN. since it’s a solo podcast episode, it would basically be an episode about getting to know him, his interests, his legacy audition, concept(s) you want to try, show that you want to be a part of, etc.

EPISODE 4 ( KEEHO & TEE / AIRING APRIL 10 ): adapting into the korean culture, differences between their birthplace and korea, foods or drinks that they’ve missed in their birthplace.

EPISODE 5 ( ALEX / AIRING APRIL 17 ): getting to know ALEX. since it’s a solo podcast episode, it would basically be an episode about getting to know him, his interests, his legacy audition, concept(s) you want to try, show that you want to be a part of, etc.

EPISODE 6 ( TEE / AIRING APRIL 24 ): getting to know TEE. since it’s a solo podcast episode, it would basically be an episode about getting to know him, his interests, his legacy audition, concept(s) you want to try, show that you want to be a part of, etc.

EPISODE 7 ( ALEX & MAXIMILIAN / AIRING MAY 1 ): advantages and disadvantages of learning different languages, moments related to being multilingual, any languages they want to learn in the future.

EPISODE 8 ( KEEHO, MAXIMILIAN, ALEX, TEE / AIRING MAY 8 ): summary of all of the episodes that they’ve filmed and what to expect in terms of V&A schedules and promotions.

for the SOLO episodes, the other members will be present there ( behind the camera ) and give any commentary or ask any questions for the one hosting.

YEONWOO & TEE’S ( WONTEE ) BIRTHDAY LIVESTREAMS

since YEONWOO and TEE have birthdays one day apart ( YEONWOO - FEBRUARY 26, TEE - FEBRUARY 27 ), legacy decided to have a joint birthday livestream for the two of them. on FEBRUARY 26 in the afternoon, the two of them will be having a 45 minute livestream where they will be in a leatherworking studio and create customized wallets to give to 2 lucky fans. during this time, they will be answering fan questions and talking about any moments that have been special to them in the past year or so. near the end of the session, KYUHWAN will be giving them birthday cakes and singing happy birthday for the two idols.

ALEX’S BIRTHDAY LIVESTREAM

for ALEX’s birthday ( which is on MARCH 5 ), he will having his birthday livestream with the fans in his studio! during the livestream, ALEX will be playing some online multiplayer games with the fans. in between the waiting and break sessions, ALEX will answer some fan questions about his wishes, goals, and what he would like to accomplish in 2024. the livestream will be around 45 minutes long and near the end of the session, KYUHWAN will surprise ALEX with a birthday cake and sing happy birthday.

NEW MEMBERS, JAESUN’S DEPARTURE

later on in the meeting, the VERSUS members are introduced to two new people by KYUHWAN; KUROSAWA AKIO and PARK SEOJIN.

“i believe all of you are familiar with each other thanks to lgc spring boys, am i right?” KYUHWAN looks at both sides for confirmation before jokingly adding, “i guess i can skip the introductions for that.” but he knows with limited time available, he does his best to get straight to the point. “AKIO and SEOJIN will be joining VERSUS so please take this bit of time to help them get adjusted to their new life.”

KYUHWAN turns his head towards AKIO and SEOJIN, “while it is unfortunate that both of you won’t be able to participate in this month’s gigs due to everything that is going on, the company felt that this would be the best time to start learning and getting well-acquainted with VERSUS discography. in the meantime, all of you are expected to keep this a secret with everyone in legacy until the time comes, which will be in a few months once we get past through the promotions.”

AKIO and SEOJIN will not be able to participate in OPEN EVENTS 006, 007 or 008 in the meantime and all of their instagram posts for JANUARY-MARCH will be under the LGCENT instagram for now.

sometime around FEBRUARY 5, all of the VERSUS members will be having another short but urgent meeting with KYUHWAN as they are told that JAESUN has left the company. because of the sudden news, there will be some changes made regarding the group positions and dorm arrangements.

for the group positions, it will be the following:

KIM ALEX: LEAD VOCALIST, LEAD RAPPER

KUROSAWA AKIO: MAIN DANCER, VOCALIST

PARK SEOJIN: LEAD VOCALIST

PONGSAK TEE: MAIN RAPPER, LEAD DANCER, VOCALIST

WON YEONWOO: LEADER OF VERSUS, MAIN VOCALIST, LEAD DANCER

due to the timing of the addition of the new members, the group positions may gradually change over time but this is what the current roles will look like in the meantime.

as for the dorm arrangements, it will be the following:

ROOM A: KIM ALEX, KUROSAWA AKIO, PONGSAK TEE

ROOM B: PARK SEOJIN, WON YEONWOO

with the changes going on, KYUHWAN expresses that during this time most of the VERSUS members will be undergoing intensive workshops and training to help prepare themselves from future projects. this will also mean that for ALEX, TEE, and YEONWOO they will be doing individual or group activities with each other or the AGITO members to help VERSUS’ fame after JAESUN’s departure. he will also give feedback to the members, which can be best summarized below ( skills listed to the name are the ones to prioritize in that order ):

ALEX: RAPPING, DANCING

AKIO: KOREAN, SINGING, PERFORMANCE, ENGLISH

SEOJIN: DANCING, PERFORMANCE ( optional: ENGLISH )

TEE: PERFORMANCE, ENGLISH, ACTING

YEONWOO: nothing, but ENGLISH is optional

from 2015 to 2023: a retrospective!

i’m mostly writing this for myself, but if you happen to take a look and even get something out of it, that’s cool too.

i started this blog in march 2015; it’s now december 2023. back then, i was still a student, reaching the end of my teen years and preparing to progress towards the next stage of my life. i’m now twenty-eight (birth year buddies with sungjae, let’s go).

to be honest, my main goal in life during that time – aside from surviving university and then finding a job – was basically to spread recognition of btob as much as i could lmao. it was as if my well-being depended on their happiness and success. i wanted to watch them succeed so bad, and i feel like their rise equated to some of the most exciting years of my life. they gave me something i thought i was missing, and i needed them. at the same time, i think i was experiencing a lot of difficulties during the years 2015-2017. btob became my escape and comfort that helped me get through that period. looking back, i could have been relying on them a bit too much, but they certainly brightened my world. for that, i’ll always be grateful.

one of my fondest memories will forever be seeing them live for the first time at their 2017 concert. being in the presence of the seven people i had been supporting so hard was profoundly touching. hearing fellow melodies singing their hearts out to ‘it’s okay’ alongside myself brought tears to my eyes.

anyway, as time passed and i started to spend less time online due to changing commitments offline, i began to notice changes in myself. i stopped posting here in 2019 for no significant reason other than that i had gotten busy, and i was finding myself genuinely enjoying life by then. i was discovering happiness in more ways than i had before, but btob stayed a part of me. they were my reliable friends, my found family – the ones i could come back to at any time. my home.

in late 2020 and 2021, i distanced myself for a while. i don’t think i ever fully processed the news back then. i might have even told myself that not paying attention and blocking it out would be for the best. i basically took a break, only checking in here and there. (4u ate up on kingdom.) i’ve naturally drifted away from people i knew back then, but i’ve also stayed close to a few. eventually, i found myself accepting the way things had become, albeit slowly. i still miss and care about ilhoon. i understand if he will never be a ‘public figure’ again. i think i can simultaneously acknowledge and hold both of these perspectives. every now and then, such as when i’d finished watching the btob time movie last week, i do feel sad about it. it’s hard to just get over it. yeah, i’m an adult, but so what.

my mindset has changed as i’ve gotten older. in the past, i was hostile and quick to react in the face of negativity. i was chaotic; i always wanted to prove a point. i guess i’ve calmed down a lot since then. i’m pretty mellow these days. on the whole, i’m not fond of spending too much time engaging with strangers or acquaintances online. truthfully, it did make me anxious then too. i kind of prefer just tossing things into the void, like this post, and quietly enjoying what i like. that’s why being active online the way i used to be doesn’t seem to work for me anymore. still, maybe with rose-tinted glasses, i miss those days i spent just waiting on the next btob update and having fun here. i scrolled through my archive for a while last night, riding on a rollercoaster of emotions.

what i actually mean by my mindset having changed though, is that i seem to view things in life more positively these days. i’ve somehow stopped being so pessimistic all the time. i found it difficult to look on the bright side when i was younger. i was colder, filled with dread, and eternally expecting the worst. as a person, i think i’ve become warmer, more appreciative. precious things can disappear just like that. i try to be thankful, in case it’s true that nothing gold can stay.

i’m undecided on if i’ll randomly appear with the odd post when i feel like it. there’s no harm in it, so perhaps! at present, what i want to say is that i still wholeheartedly love and support btob. always will. i have their season’s greetings pre-ordered. now that they’re out of cube, i’m so excited for what they might have in store next. i don’t know what it’ll be, but that’s okay. whatever it is, and even if it’s not what i’m expecting, i trust them. i’ll be proud of them. really! 비투비 예전에도 지금도 앞으로도 사랑해요! 🩵

(p.s. i impulsively bought hour moment photocards at 2am last night, so maybe i actually still need to relax.)

#okay #i feel better now!

✨STAY REACTS✨ MASTER POST

to celebrate me switching from two jobs to one and having more time for myself, I've decided to start a small (mostly for myself) series where I finally catch up and discover even more kpop sounds 🩷

I don't give myself any fixed schedule, I'll make notes whenever watching something and share them here.

It won't be JUST music tho.

As a stay and ninja (iykyk) I'll also be looking into behind the scenes content and variety, if I find one interesting.

Things I want to get into, a brief list from the top of my head:

ATEEZ variety shows and members

Going Seventeen

(G)-iDLE recording behinds and members individual projects

Asian survival/talent shows (currently watching Road to Kingdom: Ace of Aces)

SHINee (just SHINee, all of it)

BTOB discography and solo projects

Under #NOMAD 노매드 can be found my ENG-POL subtitles to some of the Kpop group NOMAD content released early on. I'll try to get back to it eventually.

That's all for now. Until next time 🫂

#kpop #personal #just enjoy

december 11, 2022

it’s wah ri’s birthday!! i wished her a happy nineteen. i miss her …

i suddenly had the urge to write down my thoughts. i was thinking a lot about marriage today. since i was reading a manhwa (a bittersweet couple) and it made me think. i don’t think i’ve thought too hard about it. just vaguely. it’s nice when you consider it though. somebody to spoil you, a nice house, two kids, and … in the middle of writing this i felt a bit grossed out. it was nice earlier when i was thinking about it….

ma has also been sad lately. she said it in the car, “i don’t know why i’ve been sad lately. i’m getting old.” i asked her why, if it was something at work, and she only said that she’s getting tired. i think she’s reached that point of sadness where you no longer have a lot of passion. or happiness left. she’s in the state of existence. it makes me sad too.

while i thought about this i thought about how i would’ve reacted when i was younger. in middle school it felt like my world was collapsing. like everything was falling apart. it’s so cliche to describe it like that but it was such a grating sadness that i could barely spend a moment without it bothering me. i would scramble for a solution all the time, how do i fix this, how can i fix this?? there was no fixing, and i was too young to figure it out. i don’t know how to fix it now either.

but since her sadness reminded me of the past i thought about if i’d gotten stronger. i’m not sure if it’s a “strength” or if i’ve managed to block it out so well. it’s a form of protection right? i’m protecting myself. that’s considered a strength isn’t it…? but then again, it’s costing. at the cost of ma? of ba? on the topic of ba i feel like i can’t reach him. he’s so far away. i don’t know how to. how to even begin with understanding him. how can i be empathetic if i cannot understand him???? or his past? i’m at a loss of what to do or how to act. although i guess in the moment i do whatever i want huh…

song of the day: pray(i’ll be your man) by BTOB

#5: Misunderstanding

NOM: (1/7)

Kind of long, that's why it's only one member. I was too much into when I was writing it. It actually feels like an actual fic, should I continue writing it? You tell me! - Peniel: BTOB was having their Time Concert in Hong Kong tomorrow. It's going to be Peniel and I's anniversary in a few days and I've been following them around. Their manager is the only one who knows about it. Don't worry, I've been paying for my expenses. Except for the airfare, because that shit's expensive. Right now, we're in the Philippines for BTOB's performance, and other idols', in a concert. I was supposed to surprise him here but their manager said that right after the concert, they're going to fly to Hong Kong. Their appearance here was short and that I should be preparing to go to Hong Kong in a few hours. I went to the concert arena and I watched my Peniel's performance, alongside the other members. They were spectacular and they all looked so lovely. I wish they performed more because I love it when they sang on stage. I wasn't backstage because they might see me. I was somewhere in audience. I was located at a VIP area. Surprisingly, there was an area that was empty so I claimed it for myself. Alas, only a few songs were sung because of the appearance of other idol groups. Right after they sung their last song, I headed out and returned backstage. I was being a quiet as possible so I wouldn't bring attention to myself. I went to find BTOB's manager so I can tell him that I'm going to the airport until I got caught. Luckily, it wasn't Peniel that spotted me. When he saw me, I quickly turned around and hid behind a curtain. What was this doing here? "Yah!" I heard Minhyuk say, "I'm not stupid (Y/N). I already saw you, babo." Dang. I thought he wouldn't say anything. "Minhyuk-a, don't tell Peniel that I'm here." I pleaded, pulling him behind the curtain that I used as a shield. "I was going to surprise him but I don't have a lot of time, so I'm going to do it Hong Kong instead." "You're going to Hong Kong too?" Minhyuk asked, already in awe by my effort. "That's so sweet of you." "Ne, I am. I'm heading to the airport now too. Where can I find your manager?" "Are you going by yourself (Y/N)?" I nod, "I have the first flight to Hong Kong. Your flights' are the second, if I'm correct." "I can go with you if you want," Minhyuk offers. "So you won't be lonely for the ride." "Jinjja?" I confirmed. To be honest, I didn't want to be alone again in an airplane. I feel uneasy when I'm in the air and I have no one to talk to. It's really nice for Minhyuk to tag along with me. "That would be really nice!" He smiles at your reaction, "I'll meet you in the car outside? Which one is it?" 'The last one on the left. I'll ask the driver to keep the hazzard lights on, okay?" And he nods in reply. "Just tell your manager that I need my tickets and you should get yours too. I'll just pay for the movement of your ticket." "No need (Y/N)." He says, reassuringly. "I'm sure he has an extra ticket for those in the first flight. Just meet me outside, okay?" I nod and I went out cautiously because the other guys might see me, like Minhyuk did. I wondered a bit if Minhyuk was caught up by the other members. When I saw him heading towards the car, I felt relieved. It took a good 30 minutes before Minhyuk was able to get to the car. I hope that the others wasn't able to question him much. "You came!" I said, scootching over, giving him space to sit beside me. "Of course," he said, chuckling. "Why wouldn't I?" "I thought the others caught you." He shook his head and the driver turned the engine on. We went on our way to the airport. - Even though our flight was the first one to leave, the plane had some minor problems. The plane had to take a u-turn and land back to the airport because of the unexpected problems that we encountered. I'm pretty sure that Peniel and the others were ahead of us, due to the unforseen mishap that happened. Eottoke? My plan is going to get ruined! How am I going to surprise Peniel now? After 37 long minutes, the plane was ready to take off, again. I hope that the boys won't suspect anything from Minhyuk. The plane ride was actually really short. It only took 2 and a half hours to get here, but because of the problems, it took 3 hours, which isn't that bad. When we arrived in Hong Kong, it was pretty dark since it was night time. Minhyuk was all over the place, worried about what the others would think if he went to the hotel so late. We got our luggage and went to the nearest taxi line. We had no security and our only hope was that there were no fans. "Look!" I heard someone yell, "It's Minhyuk-oppa!" Oh no... I thought. I hope that they won't recognize me. "Minhyuk-oppa!" I heard a fan say, "Can you please sign this for me? And take a picture too?" Luckily, it was a small group of fans and you decided to walk away from them. Leaving Minhyuk in the middle of the small group of 13 people. When they had finished, Minhyuk was able to walk with all four limbs towards me. "Phew," he huffs. "At least there were only a handful of them, right?" I smiled and nodded, "We should hail a taxi, you do know which hotel your staying at right?" "Ahni." He said, realizing that small detail could ruin everything. "You know it right?" "Of course," I said, starting to laugh at this babo. "You're such a babo, Minhyuk-a." "Yah!" He said, slightly pushing my shoulder. "You should be thankful for me." "I am," I said, raising my hands slightly to the air. I did a little bow and said, "Gomabda." After our slight bickering, a taxi was available and made our way to the hotel. From the entrance, you could see a group of people upfront. So Minhyuk asked the taxi driver to go around to the back, hoping the people would let us pass there. - The employees were accomodating and understanding. They were able to give us the key cards to our rooms and that's where we're headed now. Minhyuk, being the gentleman that he is, brought my luggage to my room. "Are you sharing a room with anybody?" I asked him, as we walked through the hallway. "Ahni." He says, "I have the room all by myself. There's actually good outcomes of this little trip." "Yah!" I slapped his stomach slightly. "Do you regret coming with me?" He paused for a second and smirked, "Maybe a littl-" I smaked his stomach again, this time it was harder. "I'm just kidding!" "It's not funny." I said, crossing my arms together. When we reached my room, he placed my luggage on the side of my bed and looked around. "I have to go to my room now," he walks to the door. "Just text me if you need anything, okay?" "Wait!" I suddenly remembered something, "Where's your room?" "Um, I think it's a few floors up." He said, as he inspected the number on his key card. "I'll bring you to your room too." I said, getting my favorite pink cap that Peniel got me for my birthday. "So I'll know where to go, just in case I need anything." "Ne," He responds with a nod. "Kaja." - Minhyuk's room was three floors up from mine. It was slightly bigger than mine, I honestly don't know why. I looked around to see that everything was the same as mine but his room had a bigger sized bed. "Your bigger bed might have costed you extra." I joked. "Beds like those make me lonely," he said, non-chalantly. "That's why I enjoy sharing with the others, to be honest." I just smiled, not knowing what to reply. "So, Minhyuk-a, thanks for accompanying me here. I really appreciate it." "Yah," he said, flipping the cap off of my head. "you're being cheesy, I don't like it. But, no worries. I just didn't want you to feel lonely." He was really sincere, even though half of his sentence was a joke. Without any other words, I just hugged him. It was my way of saying thank you one last time. Without any warning, there were voices heard from the door. The noise was very muffled, maybe because of the door but you can definitely hear it. Both Minhyuk and I's eyes widened when the room's doorbell rang. He looked at the peep hole and realized it was 3 of the 6 members at his door. We panicked and I didn't know what to do. Minhyuk pointed to the only area he could think of, the clothing cabinet. I went inside the cabinet, thankfuly it was a decent size and I easily fit in it. I heard him slide on the chain lock on the door and he opened it afterwards. I couldn't hear clearly but I heard them having a conversation. "Oh, hey," he said, trying to be as casual as he could be. "What are you guys doing here?" "Hyung, we heard that you just arrived from your late flight." It was Ilhoon. "Changsub thought it was weird that you didn't fly with us." Eunkwang added. "So, we went to see how you're doing. We even bought pizza!" The last voice that I wish I didn't hear, Peniel's. "Um," Minhyuk said, not opening the door for his members. "I'm actually naked right now." He was what?! "That never stopped us from entering your room. Put some pants and let us in Minhyuk-a." It was Eunkwang. I heard the shuffling of their feet. They were entering the room. I'm so nervous that they might see me, so I tried my best to steady my breathing. Or else I might get a mild panic attack from the anxiety that I'm feeling. "Hyung," I heard a voice ask, "where did you get this?" "Ahhh, that?" Minhyuk, trying his best to find an excuse to what Peniel was curious about. "I had that with me during the flight." "But this is (Y/N)'s?" Oh shit. I left my cap outside. "Ahh, jinjja?" "I bought this for her on her birthday." He explained to his hyung. "What is this doing here?" I could feel Peniel gritting his teeth together. He did that when he was angry and I could hear it in his voice that the anger was accumulating inside of him. "I-I don't know what to say." Minhyuk said, in defeat. I thought that Peniel was going to pick a fight with his hyung, but everything got silent. Like any cliche moment when someone was hiding, I could feel my nose betraying me. I could feel a sneeze coming along. It came, but I tried to keep it in but I failed. It took me a few seconds to realize that the door of the cabinet flew open. I looked up, and I saw a very confused Peniel. "What are you doing here?" He pulled me out of the cabinet, a little too forcefully. "I-" "Were you fooling around with Minhyuk-hyung?" He asked, trying to put the pieces together. "Is that why he took a later flight? To be with you?" "Ahni," I said, quickly trying to clear up the situation. "Omo!" I heard Ilhoon gasp, "Minhyuk-hyung was naked before we came in, right?" I shot Ilhoon a glare, "Not helping, Ilhoon-a." He raised his hands, like the way when you give up on something. "Let me explain, please." I begged Peniel. "Give me five minutes." Peniel was contemplating on whether or not to listen to you, his eyes betraying him, and his heart was sinking. "Hear her out, Donggeun-a." Minhyik said, cleary being serious since he used Peniel's real name. "She's sincere when she says that nothing happened.' "I think we should take this outside." I pulled Peniel out of the room. "Explain." And as fast as I could, without wasting any breathe, I explained to Peniel what happened and what I had actually planned. "I'm sorry for what happened, Peniel." I said, starting to tear up. "I just wanted to surprise you for our anniversary that it got out of hand." Once he saw the first tear fall onto my cheek, he immediately pulled me into a hug, kissed my forehead and said, "Miahne, (Y/N). Sorry for misunderstanding. And thank you for surprising me." "Not what I expected to happen," I said, chuckling at the outcome of my actions. "But it was all a misunderstanding." ~ Word Count: 2.1k Damn, that took me days to write. I really like this and I might be able to turn this into a fic, maybe short but I don't know how those work... This is pretty long so I can't think of any other situation for the other members. Might update this, might not. Who knows. Thank you!
