[TRANS] JBJ Interview for Star1 Magazine October 2017 Issue!

Great Combination JBJ

JBJ is a fanmade group created by passionate national producers during Mnet’s “Produce 101 Season 2″. They couldn’t make it into the final team, but they always scored high rankings during the broadcast, so the national producers picked them based on their commonalities. After the program finished and WannaOne was formed with 11 members, the fans kept wishing for Kwon Hyunbin, Kim Donghan, Kim Sanggyun, Kim Yongguk, Noh Taehyun and Kenta to be active together as a team. The name ‘JBJ’ was made from the first letters of the words “Just Be Joyful”. With different statements like “a really desirable combination” or “please just debut”, the fans wished for the group’s formation. With hard work like this, JBJ came into the picture as real idols. They really are idols “from the fans, because of the fans, for the fans”. 

Q: JBJ became a reality. Who was the biggest help in forming this group?

Taehyun: The fans, of course. We didn’t make it ourselves, but the fans did it for us. Kenta: Taehyun hyung also played a big part in it. There was a unique picture of us all together. Taehyun hyung wanted to take it while we were getting ready for our stage at the “Produce 101 Season 2″ concert. If it wasn’t for this one photo, it might not have come to this. I’m very thankful. Also, as a leader he helps managing our different opinions. Sanggyun: The officials from CJ E&M, LOEN and Fave Entertainment, haha. I’m thankful towards a lot of people, but since it’s a fanmade group, I’m always thinking of the fans as the one key factor. I love you.

How did all of you become friends?

Taehyun: Since during “Produce 101 Season 2″ we all stuck together for 4 months, you get closer to a lot of people. Plus we all dropped out at the same time. You naturally stayed in contact with the dropped out trainees and after meeting up a few times, you get closer. Kenta: Even before JBJ, there was “KenCallTae”. When I was together with Yongguk and Taedong, it was always fun and after talking more, we became friends. And because we got more and more, JBJ was made. The members also enjoyed the fans’ reaction.

It’s actually the first time you all have to match in everything. What is that like?

Taehyun: It’s really the first time we’re doing everything together. But after 4 months of practice together, we’re all in a state of knowing what we’re good at. While we practice to highlight each member's strength, I get the good feeling that we’ll be a great group. There aren’t many with that distinctive cuteness and youthful awkwardness. (laughs) Sanggyun: Nothing has been uncomfortable yet. But you can only tell after we stayed together for a couple of years. So I don’t really know yet. (laughs) Hyunbin: Practice is different from our usual laughing, chatting and joking around. Then, I immediately get the feeling of “woah, they’re all real singers”. After listening to songs, memorizing lyrics, putting on earphones and practicing alone, we look at each other and it feels really amazing. Donghan: No one is hard to deal with, they are all nice. Everyone has a good character as well. So I enjoy both practice and of course the dorm life. 

Have you learned something new about the members while preparing for the album?

Hyunbin: During the broadcast I was never on the same team as Taehyun hyung. I didn’t really know hyung had this strong sense of responsibility. In dancing he teaches each member according to their skills. I find this side of him really cool. Donghan: Sanggyun hyung is surprisingly serious during recordings. He seemed kind of professional. I knew the playful rapper side of him, but seeing him so serious during recordings was really cool to me.

How is the dorm life?

Yongguk: I brought a cat to the dorm. At first I was afraid that some of the others would be against it, but everyone liked it a lot. As it turned out, Taehyun hyung and Sanggyun hyung are allergic, so I’m worrying what to do about this. Taehyun: To be honest, I only found out I’m allergic to cats now, after living for 25 years. (laughs) My eyes start to itch and I have to cough but because the cat is so cute I keep touching it. Sangyun: While I was sleeping that huge cat appeared crawling across my face. I got a shock and jumped, so it ran away but it scraped my forehead with its claws. It also got my hand. I guess we’ll quickly have to decide on whether to get rid of Yongguk or the cat. Haha. Kenta: We don’t have a dark atmosphere. Even when we have free time, we’re always talking and joking around. Hyunbin plays around a lot in the dorms, and when he loudly starts singing, the mood goes through the roof. The mood doesn’t go down in our group. 

Please tell us about JBJ’s album.

Taehyun: Since we’re a fan made group, we’re going the direction the fans want. Whether it’s the concept, the music or the style of the clothes etc., the whole thing. The staff members are really searching for the fans’ opinion. They often look for the fan community’s reaction, comments etc. when they create the looks and the concept and such, so they can do it the way the fans want. It seems like it’s going to be a dandy&sexy concept. Kenta: We might show a manly side of us in this album since we don’t have any minors. You can expect sexy and manly stages. It might be a little similar with “Open Up” from “Produce 101 Season 2″. It’s a song that connects manliness and sexiness. Donghan: We might show off our sexiness in moderation. (laughs)

What are your positions in the group?

Taehyun: As the fans wanted, I’m in charge of being the leader. Kenta: I’m the cute and sexy foreigner. I’m trying to make it a thing. (laughs) Sanggyun: I’m in charge of lots of things. As you can probably see, first of all I’m the visual. As you can probably hear, I’m also the rapper. I’m a genre and a concept myself. Yongguk: I’m the cutie. (laughs) To be honest, I can’t lead the team’s atmosphere. I have a calm side. That’s why I want to show a bit more of a sexy concept. Hyunbin: I don’t want to go with my chic image anymore. When I sing for the first time on stage, I want to be able to convey a bold and kind of cold image. Donghan: I’m in the tall line with Hyunbin hyung. Also, I’m the maknae. 

What kind of charms does JBJ want to show?

Taehyun: The members all have something that distinguishes them from others, they have a lot of talents. The six of them can all make themselves stand out. Kenta: I want to show sexy and cute sides, a varied charm. Sanggyun: The fans are always stuck on sexiness in this concept. Even if I’m worried I won’t do well with this, I’m trying my best to stand out with sexiness. I love you.

We heard that you have plans to go into other fields of the entertainment industry as well. What kind of area do you want to try out when it comes to acting?

Taehyun: I feel like a sitcom would fit my character well. Not as the main but as a supporting actor. I want to be someone that may not be the main character but without them, the show would feel empty. Kenta: I always wanted to try being an MC. An MC bears great responsibility, but they are really great. I’ll have to keep up the mood. I want to be an MC like Leeteuk sunbaenim on Mnet’s “I See Your Voice”. Sanggyun: I want to try variety. I watched MBC’s “It’s Dangerous Outside the Blanket” and it was really fun. I think I would be a good couch potato. Yongguk: I want to try a movie. If it works out, I want to be a guardian of the law. Like a hero. (laughs) Hyunbin: I want to try the film noir genre. Because I leave quite a strong impression and have a deep voice, I think I’d fit the role of a bad guy. Donghan: Because I really like variety, I want to be on a show. I think I’d be good at keeping up the atmosphere and create a lot of jokes. I would choose active variety shows like tvN’s “Journey to the West”, KBS2′s “1 Night, 2 Days” or SBS’s “Running Man”. 

Would you rather shoot a broadcasting program or a CF together with the other members?

Kenta: I’d like to shoot a CF for Isultoktok. Even if it’s Soju, it tastes like a cocktail to me because of the peach flavor. We’re all adults, so wouldn’t it be fun to try a CF for an alcoholic drink? Yongguk: I want to appear on tvN. The members really are hilarious. Especially Sanggyun hyung. Yesterday morning when we were still sleeping, he got hold of helium from somewhere. He inhaled it in the living room and made weird sounds. Hyunbin: Lately, I want to try a comic parody like Big Bang sunbaenims’ parody of the drama “Secret Garden”.

What do you think is the most important part when having activities together as a team?

Taehyun: To respect each other. If we don’t respect each other, we won’t care about the others, no matter what we’re doing. Respect towards the others is the most important thing. Kenta: The atmosphere. If someone’s mood is down, it could put the others in a bad mood, too. This is why I think it’s most important to always maintain a joyful atmosphere. Then I want to tell the members “let’s work hard”, “let’s enjoy ourselves!” and give them a lot of energy like this. Yongguk: Each member’s personal charm. I don’t want anyone to be overshadowed.

You are constantly faced with the teams formation and disbandment. Isn’t it hard to adapt to this system?

Kenta: It’s a pity that the time we are all together is only 7 months. The K-Pop sunbaes I’ve been watching since I still lived in Japan are still active. But I still want to work hard and enjoy myself during the 7 months we are given. Sanggyun: First, I want to do my best and show a good side of myself in the days we’re given. If I think too much about it, I think I’ll go crazy. I want to work hard during JBJ’s activities. Yongguk: Of course there’s sadness. When I was in the team for “Boy In Luv” during “Produce 101 Season 2″, I wanted to think “Woah, we’re a group now”, but the team was broken up. It’s kind of sad having to think about it while forming a group with other members now. 

What is JBJ’s role model group?

Kenta: Super Junior sunbaenims. When I see their airport fashion, they are all unique and appear wearing a goofy smile. It’s really funny and nice to look at. When they’re doing their individual activities and also when they’re back together as a team, they seem very professional and their atmosphere seems joyful. I want us to naturally convey such a joyful side of us as well. Yongguk: Shinhwa sunbaenims. When I wasn’t in JBJ but doing a duet with Sihyun, I was always thinking of Shinhwa sunbaenims. Their shows are really enjoyable and funny and they are really friendly among the members. I hope our group is also funny to others and makes our fans smile. Hyunbin: Exo and Vixx sunbaenims. Their concerts are unrivaled every time. I feel like I’m learning a lot when I watch them.

What is your goal as JBJ?

Taehyun: I already debuted before. I want to try a lot of things that I couldn’t do when I was a rookie. I never did photo shoots like this or filmed a variety show. Also getting high chart rankings? I want to do a lot of things that you can only do when you’re a rookie and that make your heart race. Kenta: I want to receive an award. We’re only doing activities together for 7 months, but after 4 months, the Seoul Music Awards take place. Next year, we can’t go there. That’s why it would be really great if we received an awards this year, even if it’s just a really small one. We can leave it as a sign that we were there and pass on or gratitude to our fans. Sanggyun: Winning on a music show. If we win first place, we come out at the ending. I want to do something unexpected on a live broadcast once. Hyunbin: I want to enjoy the activities and achieve good results, so the officials think “Oh, they can do even more” and the group can be active for a long time. That would be great. Even if we all do our own work, we get back together when we have to stick together. Until we become ahjussis. Haha.

[p101recaps]

Broduce 101: Episode 11 (Livestream Recap)

I removed the ‘quick’ in the recap title for the last episode because I saw a comment shading me for that since these are anything but quick lol

This post contains spoilers.

We start off with some old trainee videos from school performances and company auditions (hello lil Samuel!) then move into the first intro vids and interviews. 

This is where we cry about their hardships like Mnet isn’t making billions of won off their dreams and haven’t axed more than half of them on the way here.

Special shoutout to chubby cheeked baby Sewoon!

BoA starts us off with a prelude to the season finale. I’ll miss seeing her on a weekly basis and we’re told to vote for our favourite trainee before last week’s ranks

The live broadcast has the first ever Nayana stage set up too, its beautiful

Last season’s winners, the IOI girls are attending (for the reaction shots ofc) but they all look so pretty!! Look at my girl, solo artist Chungha.

Yes NAYANA LIVE LETS GET HYPE look at these cuties grinning away

Whoa its centre Daniel! He has his babiest baby smile on

Samuel has purple hair for the finale, its a better look than the blond

That hall is full kids. This season has raked in that cash. The CEO can probably buy a small country.

IT’S MY ELIMINATED BOYS! The stage is cramped af 

The group name is Wanna.One 

NOOO RIP BOI

Cut to pre-recorded content for the stage prep, starting off with vocal check in for Super Hot. 

Seokhoon praises Hyungseob’s improvement, Daehwi’s consistency, Byeongari Seonho’s progress.

Centre battle time with the contenders all singing the ‘killing part’. Seonho is unexpectedly not bad, and he says grew taller as his vocal skills did too. Dead.

Sungwoon and Baekho are good, Daehwi takes the key down to hit the notes. Samuel is shaky but fine. Youngmin is also good, and Shin Yumi says he sounds like Jaehwan, prompting Jaehwan to emit a soulless, scornful HA HA before getting up to sing the other team’s song just to show him up

Sewoon is made to sing the line too and he makes up for the little crack in his voice with a funny hand dance

Hands On Me does their check in and then centre competition.

Ong-ssi’s voice wobbles and Jaehwan literally slits his throat because ‘killing part’. Daniel tickles his own chin lol 

Bae Jinyoung is the most surprising because of how clear he is

Jihoon is Centre Jihoon as always (Auntie Jisung is impressed)

Dance check in next! They’ve done their own choreos for the songs for this mission.

Super Hot goes first, and Kahi applauds their effort because its hard to devise formations and choreo 

They all perform the choreo as centre one by one. This looks exhausting, btw but they all do their own little bits to stand out

Hands On Me goes next and their choreo passes muster too.

Next they all try centre choreo. Honestly, all of them have distinct appeals, how do you even pick.

Kahi tells them that centre will be picked based on the vids that were uploaded recently, with every trainee in both groups performing as centre one by one 

They go to pick the centre in the same room that the coaches used for their level evals w/ Nayana performances

Super Hot team goes first, watching every vid. Youngmin’s voice cracks in his vid and Samuel’s eyes widen in response in the background lol

I just realised all of Nu’est but Minhyun is in this group. Baekho falls into a natural leader like role just because he seems to have a lot to say 

They then do an emotional verbal appeal for the centre position, all of them feel like they need it for this last leg of the journey, and then vote.

It comes down to Sungwoon and Samuel, and the live performance reveals who won

IT WAS HA SUNGWOON! Get it, boy!

The actual performance was fine, all of them dressed in red and white. This song is a bit iffy (seriously), but they all perform well. Megaton bomb is the obvious highlight. The choreo is enjoyable, very energetic and gimmicky, the kind that leaves plenty of room for the trainees to insert personal gestures

Lol Cube Chicks do another Troublemaker reference. Jonghyun and Sam do a bit of a dance in between

There’a a bit of choreo that looks vaguely like a Seventeen stage. It’s like a revolving door? I remember seeing it elsewhere. 

Very cute, all in all. The total effect is similar to Oh Little Girl from last mission

They have a lot of cuts to the eliminated kids as the coaches talk to BoA

Sung Hyunwoo’s there, his eyes are glazed over when the camera pans to him lol 

Kwon Hyunbin has dark hair again while Kim Sanggyun has his deep blond slicked back. 

Oh! Kim Taemin is in the stands! He’s lost so much weight!

First reveals are for trainees currently at 11-14. 

This anticipation is the pits. It just drags on and on endlessly. Kenta’s almost crying again

Sewoon, Jisung, Bae Jinyoung, Daehwi are potential trainees. 

I’m losing hope for Auntie.

And then cut to Hands on Me team in the viewing room for centre voting.

Yoon Jisung is jealous of Park Jihoon’s face and expressions lol 

Bae Jinyoung is at peak Sasuke Uchiha levels, coolly and sharply flipping his jacket around. 

Everyone is amazed at how handsome Ong is on screen while Jisung pulls out every bit of his trainee experience in his video. Ong says Jisung’s clever with expressions but expressed it weird lol

Cuts of them working hard and talking about the need to be centre before they vote. It’s down to Ong-ssi and Bae Jinyoung for centre. 

Live performance reveals it to be Bae Jinyoung!

The boys are dressed in sharp suits, which is how you know which one is the stacked team. They all look good, and scrounge up every bit of their charisma for the performance. This song is a lot more enjoyable, and has a choreo that’s more smooth rather than gimmicky, with a lot of jacket flapping. I can hear Minhyun, Ong and Jaehwan’s voices a lot although they all perform well.

There’s a bit of breakdown in between for the rappers’ benefit

Ong-ssi is wearing a pretty choker while Sewoon looks like a boy at his first prom. Bae Jin does the now patent Yoo Hwiseung lip swipe.

There’s a lot of loud yelling for Park Jihoon. It’s so distinct.

THIS ANTICIPATION IS THE FUCKIN WORST

Cut to a large thank you letter the trainees wrote BoA. She’s moved by their sincerity and laughs at the cuteness. It’s really rather sweet, even if it is filler content. She was a phenomenal representative - I watched this season for her, and she was so much more invested in actual training than Jang Keonsuk. That guy annoyed me the most last season.

The trainees also send a video letters to their other coaches, thanking them for their help and for teaching them over the last few months.

Cut to the trainees recording with the composers of the token ballad song this season, called Always 

Check it out if you’re keen, it’s meant to be this season’s Downpour I reckon. The boys perform it under soft white and pink lighting. Minki looks like he’s crying at one point, so does Seonho. Sungwoon, Baekho and Jaehwan hard carry the vocals.

BoA closes live voting. 

That’s of the Seventeen members in the crowd! The leader kid! I might have to confirm this later.

Cut to pre-recorded footage of the trainees all gathering together to talk. 

Ahhh it’s product placement for Naver’s streaming service. They listen to their concept eval songs.

Then they talk about their first appearances on the show, and they play their P101 countdown intro videos to all their embarrassments. Guanlin sings All of Me loudly and increasingly out of tune while Sewoon dances Pick Me. Jaehwan dances Seventeen′s Boom Boom lol. 

...I don’t even know what Emperor Hwang is doing.

Then sad video messages to their families for the tears, with that mournful Nayana intro in the background. Then footage of their families watching the video letters and sending one back.

Yoon Jisung has his mum’s eyes, and Samuel has his mum’s mouth exactly. Youngmin looks startlingly like his dad.

My heart aches, ugh. Mnet, you bastards. 

OH IT’S DAEHWI’S MUM FROM AMERICA! IN PERSON! THEY FLEW HER DOWN!

I wish I could fly down to see my mum too :(

All the ugly tears. Seonho is bawling straight up. 

Haknyeon’s mum is there too! And Guanlin’s dad and sister! 

Aw, his sister knows Ong-slate and Yoonjhumma’s clapping. 

Back at live stage, popular model Kwon Hyunbin gets coerced into filling some air time by BoA, so does Kim Taemin, who had to leave because of his sudden illness. Lee Euiwoong gets some screentime to himself to thank everyone for their support and help.

Dorm footage from their last stay with the kids imitating Hyunbin singing Downpour lol

More of that Nayana piano instrumental as they reminisce about their last few weeks in the dorm with the other trainees. A neat little shot of the set with the chairs, then shots of them practicing. 

Back to live for final rankings.

My heart can’t take this. The eliminated kids are all praying too.

Seriously, how can they waste airtime like this.

Trainee at number 10 is C9 Bae Jinyoung. He looks pale and relieved, thanking his fans, parents, and the Mnet staff. 

Number 9 is Pledis Hwang Minhyun!! 

Pristin Nayoung is thrilled while the Pledis CEO looks unimpressed. Why do they even invite these old bastards. 

It takes Minhyun a bit to start speaking to thank people, his words less smooth than normal because of how overcome (lol) he is. His mum cries constantly, I hope he can buy her something nice soon! 

BoA’s making a lot of tiny mistakes off her script because of the live broadcast burden. It’s cute.

MMO YOON JISUNG MAKES IT AT NUMBER 8 AND I FINALLY START CRYING AS HE WADDLES TO THE CHAIRS

Weird clapping forever! Oh, his dad calls up his family to tell them the good news while the eliminated MMO trainees cry in relief. 

He says in his thank you that he really had given up hope, but he’s so appreciative of all the support he received. It’s so cute that all the trainees are so excited, clapping his weird clap and laughing at him. He starts ugly crying again when he sees his dad, and same tbh. 

Everyone loves him so much!! I love him too! My Auntie! He made it! Yoonjhumma! I’ll actually follow this Wanna.One mess because of you Auntie Jisung! 

CUBE Lai Guanlin makes the final group at number 7!

He and Seonho are going to be able to help Hyuna keep Cube from the shredder!

Sweet Byeongari Lai Guanlin first thanks people in Mandarin (a lot of shots of the Chinese Yuehua kids+Kenta), then in English (it’s so terrible but so cute), and then he thanks everyone in Korean. He keeps saying ‘jinjja’ a lot, and his accented slurring gets worse because of how excited and nervous he is. BoA prompts him to thank his dad, which he does in Mandarin. He also gets to do his awkward audition dance. 

Trainee number 6 is Brand New Music Park Woojin! Good on you my wolf boy! You deserve it!

He starts his thank you with a full waist bow, then thanks his voters, BNM family, Rhymer, the P101 PD-nim (the audience protests this - dead but same tbh) and staff, the teachers and his family. He apologizes for worrying people when he was sick - pls. Like people need to feel more entitled. 

Woojin and Guanlin give each other massive bear hugs when they meet at the chairs. 

Trainee number 5 is Fantagio Ong Sungwoo!!

He’s immediately smothered by hugs, his mum is sobbing and his CEO looks happy. Doyeon gets a solo shot as she claps too.

His voice wavers when he starts his thanks, to the staff, Fantagio people, his parents. He does his really, very hyperbole, dramatic and earnest and promises to work hard before ending it with a waist bow. BoA asks him what position he would like (besides the slate) and he says he’ll try to maintain team balance and spirit and then does his Get Ugly meme face. He’s so excited!!

Ah, with him and Yoonjhumma in, you know the group will do well in variety.

You can see the hope leave Daehwi and Sungwoon’s faces as resignation sinks in :((

Trainee number 4 is Kim Jaehwan!!

He gets body slammed by the trainees and his mum looks visibly relieved. Chaeyeon looks shocked as she claps in genuine appreciation, so clearly surprised that the camera pans to her twice.

Jaehwan mentions that he didn’t have much hope as an independent trainee and thanks his parents for supporting him as he rehearsed alone. He promises to be a hardworking vocal and thanks everyone for their support so he can improve.

At number 3 is Brand New Music Lee Daehwi! 

He instantly collapses in shock, his trainees crowd him. His mum begins to sob, so does Jeon Somi. He jumps up and waves at her as she cries in relief.

Obviously grateful, he thanks his BNM crew, the p101 staff, and the usual, as well as everyone who voted him in as Nayana centre to start with. His mum, who flew in from the USA, gets a personal thank you telling her to not worry and thanking her for his support. 

Sat in his chair, he cries a little. I’m so relieved for him too, he’s so incredibly well rounded and talented for a sixteen year old.

Spots for number 2 and the main centre number 1 are between MMO Kang Daniel and Maroo Park Jihoon.

We’re all surprised, I’m certain. I’m more shook by Nation’s Leader Angel Wartortle GodJonghyun not appearing so far. The vote reset must have shaken his ranking up. 

They walk to centre stage for the announcement, the two issue makers of the season. 

Dead at how SM bought NCT a promo ad slot during P101 airtime

The truly expected yet unknown battle of votes between these two leads brings us MMO Kang Daniel at number 1, with Maroo Park Jihoon behind him at 2.

Daniel takes a while to speak, his throat dry from nervousness, saying he was grateful to be able to be in the top 11, much less be centre . Yoonjhumma is rubbing his arms at the revelation, while Daniel’s mum cries. Little Lee Woojin gets a shot. Daniel can barely speak, satoori slipping out as BoA teases him for becoming GodDaniel. He says he loves his voters in satoori, and even BoA giggles.

Park Jihoon speaks next, poised and polished as ever as he rattles off his list of people to thank. He doesn’t mind losing the spot to Daniel at all, and rounds off by doing his adorable Shugo Chara aegyo with the crowd. 

Daniel does a few full waist bows standing at his number one crown chair before sinking into it, finally.

I suddenly remember the MMO kids sitting on the chair like it was the family couch first episode, just so they could know what it was like. It’s been a whirlwind journey.

Time for final spot number 11, between Baekho, Sungwoon, Sewoon and Jonghyun. 

Sungwoon has no expectations. Baekho isn’t sure what to think. Sewoon is nervous too (not as much as Gwanghyun in the crowds though). Jonghyun thanks everyone and anticipates the results.

BoA looks pained being made to draw this out too. 

Nation’s Leader Angel Wartortle GodJonghyun is 14. Resetting the votes and spooking Pledis voters with Minhyun’s rank probably unsettled him. What a shame, I’d have put my money on him as a sure debut bet what with the edits and his general manga boy personality.

Sungwoon looks like his soul has left his body.

Sexy Bandit Pledis Kang Dongho is number 13. What a shame. The crowd screams in support for him anyway.

Gwanghyun and Taehyun are both increasingly worried in their seats. 

How crazy would it be if it turns out to be Sewoon. It was the same for Yeonjung last season, and they’re both Starship vocal kids.

ARDOR AND ABLE HA SUNGWOON IS NUMBER 11

I cannot believe it but I’M SO HAPPY MY BOYS!! Taehyun is fully ugly sobbing in his seat, the trainees around him are trying to comfort him but he’s truly a softie, poor Scratching Ajhusshi.

Sungwoon thanks everyone after running to the stage in excitement, emotional and grateful for everyone who believed in him, and promising to work hard. 

Sewoon, who was close, gives a very well worded and neat speech at the end, put together even through his disappointment. I look forward to seeing him debut as an idol. He’s going to be great.

Kang Daniel leads the last greeting to the viewers and BoA bows out for the season finale.

Well. This has been emotionally draining and completely unexpected. I never thought I’d have so many of my faves in the final line up, I’m going to have to keep following this group even if they put out crap music because there are so many reliable singers too! They sure showed my pessimism, but I’m not complaining. 

For the final time, below is a comprehensive list of the final ranking for Produce 101 Season’s 2 group, Wanna.One:

Kang Daniel

Park Jihoon 

Lee Daehwi

Kim Jaehwan 

Ong Sungwoo 

Park Woojin

Lai Guan Lin 

Yoon Jisung

Hwang Minhyun 

Bae Jinyoung 

Ha Sungwoon 

It’s been wonderful on this blog with you guys! As always, please let me know you spot in any errors!
