I just found out yesterday that Li Quanzhe is also a contestant in Asia Super Young?

I first knew him from Idol Producer and tbh I didn't follow Cpop after that, but I did know that he debuted with Zhu Zhengting and Justin in Huang after Nine Percent, so I was surprised.

I mean Zhu Zhengting is literally one of the mentors, so this situation would be hard for both of them. I really hope for the best for him.

I just found out that Li Quanzhe is on Asia Super Young (along with Ollie Wonka and Kim Dongbin) but...

The dance mentor is Zhengting?

So one NEXT member is back as a trainee while the other is a mentor?

I haven't seen that before...

[forzhengting]

everything else aside i hate quanzhe for doing this for one (1) reason and it is the fact that i said that i would never watch a fucking survival show ever again and here i am now 😐

Mentor - Zhengting x Reader

Pairing: Zhu Zhengting (Nine Percent) x Reader

Warnings: pure fluff I guess (?)

Requested: Yes

A/N: I love Zhengting so much (not biased at all 🙄), I loved this request, hope you like it! @tea-w-p4stry

Your bangs were already sticked to your face, your hair made a mess. You had been practicing for hours straight. You hadn't had a proper meal in the whole day, only a few of those energy bars they had in the vending machine. You felt exhausted, but above that you felt you could do better than that. The rest of the group had left a couple of hours before, it was already 3:45 in the morning. You finished the whole choreography one more time before you stopped to take a gulp from your energy drink. You heard steps approaching you and turned back, thinking it might be one of the other trainees. - Why are you still here? It's too late, you should be sleeping. - Mentor Zhengting... I'm still practicing because I still can't do it perfectly.- you were still trying to recover your breath. The concerned look Zhengting gave you made you feel kind of guilty. You admired him so much since you first saw him on PD101, and now you had joined the show, with him as a mentor. - Look, I can't tell you not to do that because I've done it myself a lot. But you should take good care of yourself, okay? Have you eaten? - Not yet... - Just as I thought.- He sighed.- Come with me. You followed him and he got some food for you from the kitchen. - It's actually forbidden to enter the kitchen, so don't tell anyone.- He giggled. And you swore to god he has the most precious smile you've ever seen. Like maybe you didn't just admire him as a mentor. - Do you do this often? - You lifted your head to look at him, with a spoonful of rice in your mouth.- Train until late, I mean. You swallowed the food with difficulty and drank some water before answering. - Not too often, only when it's necessary... - Look, Y/n, I have no right to speak about this. I told you before, I also do that myself, but still I don't want you to do this again. If you need to practice for a long time it's okay, but at least eat well and take some rests in between. - I'm sorry for worrying you, mentor.- You looked at your plate a bit ashamed because of his sudden nagging. - Don't be sorry, just take care of yourself. He took your hand and you looked back at him. He gave you the cutest smile ever and you couldn't help but smile too, blushing a little because of the sudden skinship.

The next day came, you and your group ready to perform. You and the girls were waiting for your turn on stage when you heard a knock on the door of your dressing room. - Come in! - Sorry girls, I don't want to interrupt or anything.- Zhengting entered the room smiling, looking straight at you.- I just wanted to wish you all good luck. The girls went crazy and you just smiled back at him. He gave you a little speech to motivate you and you all thanked him for his kind words. A minute or so after that you were called to perform. The performance went smoothly. Even though you were really nervous at first, thinking about the mentor's words calmed you down. But even though you did your best, you were eliminated in that round, right before the final one. You were okay with it though, you knew it didn't mean you weren't good enough, but you would still work as hard as you could to debut someday soon. Zhengting approached you after the recording finished. - I'm sorry you didn't make it, Y/n. I wanted to tell you that your performance was my favorite, you did really well. - It's okay, mentor, I'll work hard to debut in my company. - You don't have to call me mentor now, just Zhengting. You nodded smiling. - So... actually I was hoping that, now that I'm not your mentor anymore maybe we could... go out someday? - Go out like... a date?- You looked at him in surprise. - Yeah... if you want to, of course. - I'd love to.- You looked at him, smiling. - Okay, great.- He smiled back. Who would have thought that your role model, your dance mentor from PD101, would ask you on a date like that. You felt so lucky and happy about it that you couldn't stop a silly smile from appearing on your face. The other girls from your company approached you, crying. - Y/n, I can't believe you're leaving, you did so well... I'm sorry. - It's okay, I'm fine really. Just give your best on stage, promise me you will. - We will. But why are you smiling? Aren't you sad? - I told you, I'm fine. You hugged them, still smiling because of what had happened before. Yeah, you were definitely fine.

thank you youku for giving us a 36 minute video of zhengting literally just sitting there and watching performances

random thoughts on asia super young ep 1:

overall i think it's fun! this first episode is just the trainees introducing and self-ranking themselves, but it's a good relaxed atmosphere and i'm already picking out some people i want to root for 👀

the multilingualism/multiculturalism is an interesting aspect that i'm very much enjoying. there's trainees here representing hong kong, the mainland, japan, korea, vietnam, and the states. happy for the canto rep first and foremost but i really like seeing the trainees from different regions interact overall

i was just in high school when i watched idol producer (and i was very late to the party lmao) but it is SO weird now being in the average age range of the trainees, although the youngest here is 14 and the oldest i believe is 26. one of the ones i'm rooting for most at the moment is a single day younger than me. this is unsettling

looking forward to the next ep! i like this show so far and despite finals coming up in the next few weeks + a journey to love releasing on tuesday to keep me busy (plus my mlc rewatch) i think i'm going to follow it. time management whomst

(zhengting. where is zhengting. i miss him. next ep they'll introduce the judges'/mentors' panel i'm assuming so it'll be then but *sigh*)

朱正廷 Zhu Zhengting “You’re My Light” MV

I like the song, and he looks amazing in the MV. It’s good seeing him do these sorts of sounds because I think that it really complements where he is as a vocalist. He’s got a nice voice, but from a technical standpoint he’s definitely still developing (but he’s very much developing, and I can tell he’s putting work into it). I want to see the performance of this because I think that it will definitely add a level to the song that the MV didn’t even though he’s very pretty. (I mean, can I just request that he releases dance MVs for all of his solos? I really like watching him dance, and he can dance so amazingly well and sing this nicely, which makes it all the more impressive.)

hey! i’m a new follower and i’ve just recently been getting into cpop. what are some songs you recommend and groups/artists to listen to for newbies? thanks!

aaahhh!!! hiiii!!!  welcome!  i hope you don’t mind that i published this! well, depending on how long you’ve been following me you probably have seen posts about my favorites in cpop rn so i am going to split it into two categories: groups and artists.  there will be some overlap between these two and even within different groups.  there’s probably a post out there about how everyone in cpop knows each other and honestly i don’t doubt it.

this got longer than i expected, i am so sorry, so i put it under a “read more”

the tl;dr of it is there are kpop artists who are chinese who put out chinese music either solo or with their groups, idol producer and youth with you are 2 idol maker competition shows that many of today’s better known cpop artists have been in, there is currently a ywy season going on right now for creating a girl group and you can find my posts about it under the tag “ywy” or “youth with you”.  these posts are specifically about the girls and my reactions to the episodes.  i mention it at the end of the post as well but my “cpop” tag may be of help as well

Groups:

Nine Percent -> first idol group put together at the end of Idol Producer, Cai Xukun was the leader and I love him a lot

Nex7 (also known as Next or Yuehua’s Next) -> there are three members who overlap with 9%: Zhu Zhengting, Fan Chengcheng, and Justin Huang

Unine -> second idol group put together at the end of the first season of Youth With You; Yao Mingming, Li Zhenning, and Jiayi are my bias line from them

Uniq was good but also dabbles in kpop as well so if you’re looking for a nice transition group I would go with that

Super Junior-M was the Chinese subunit of Super Junior

WayV is the Chinese subunit of NCT

Oner is good

Mr. Tyger has my beloved Jiayi as one of the members and their MVs are so visually interesting

Artists:

Since 9% has disbanded, all of the members went on and did some solo things.  Again here I will mention Cai Xukun, but Lin Yanjun, Wang Ziyi, Chen Linong, Justin, and Zhengting all also have really good solo stuff

Zhoumi is one of my favorite ballad singers for cpop

Z.Tao is good and his song “Beggar” is my current song on repeat

Kris Wu has some really really good songs in both English and Chinese

Luhan is incredible and his falsettos really are something else

Zhang Yixing, aka Lay of EXO, is probably one of my favorite cpop artists both musically and choreographically

Jeffrey is an artist I haven’t listened to a lot but the stuff of his I’ve heard is good

Jolin Tsai has some of the most interesting and amazing music i love her a lot

Ella Chen is one of the mentors on this current run of Youth With You and was part of the girlgroup S.H.E but her solo music is good as well

I also like Eric Chou

9m88 is more jazzy in music but she’s got an interesting voice and also did a cover of the City Pop classic “Plastic Love” which I love

If you are more used to kpop, there are plenty of songs by the original groups that are in Chinese; Exo was really good at having a lot of songs in Chinese done because in their original debut lineup they had 4 Chinese members

Here are some links to different cpop playlists on spotify that i recommend:

idol producer bois

im on my laptop but this playlist is entitled *cherry blossom emoji**sparkle emoji*

this is arguably one of the most popular posts i’ve made so far on this blog and the playlist that came out of it but we love Cpop Thot Bops

this definitely seems like a lot but honestly i’m just trying to give you as many options as you can have because of the different styles of the artists in the industry.  there are also a ton of OSTs for cdramas that are done by members of groups or by solo artists.  I personally like Bi Wenjun’s songs for the drama “Sweet Tai Chi”!

There are also plenty of cpop blogs out here but the ones that i would recommend are @zhuzhengtngs, @9toawaken, @princekunge, @baobeejun, @ruangz, @kunxcii, and @lovleez !  am i biased bc i’m friends with them and they bully me in our groupchat daily?  perhaps.  and of course I’m always here if you have questions, want recommendations, or want to scream about what X person wore on 160319 or whenever date :p

also if you want more background on Nine Percent, Nex7, or Unine, you can find Idol Producer and Youth With You on YouTube.  Through them you are also able to find a lot of incredible rappers, dancers, musicians, and singers that i didn’t have the space for in this !  I am sorry for how long this is and I’m wrapping it up I swear but you can check my “cpop” tag as well as anything related to cpop will be there and that can give you more background on certain people (cough cai xukun cough) and perhaps enable you to develop your bias or help figure out who you want to listen to.  also the ppap stage of idol producer was the best one dont listen to anyone else who says it wasnt :D
