This week J9 Joong was in the hospital for three days with hypokalemia and released on Monday. The doctors suspected he wasn’t getting enough rest.  I do not think Joong is working harder than he was in October of last year, but we all know that hard work, combined with emotional distress can make your health decline. He was also sick from the vaccine, which lowered his immune system even more. But hopefully he is getting more rest.  last week I told you Joong had removed his work contacts, but he placed one back this week. Joong as of this week is still with Motive. We don’t know if he is simply finishing the contract with them that lasts till November or if he resigned last week.  His project with Insight will come out soon though, they recorded more footage, and are doing an interview with photoshoot for Susapda, which is released in July.  He’s being doing a lot of lives as well. Three times this week. Highlights, Nine’s mum and sister showing up and Joong missing them. Singing more song and recommending anime for people to watch.  After watching a scary movie, he dragged his bed to his auntie’s bedroom, to sleep there. 5555.  he’s also still doing singing lessons, so hopefully we’ll get to hear them in full soon.  Nine has been rehearsing and training, but we did get another solo job for Valentino. That’s two for Nine now. The First episode of PlayFridge aired and Nine is doing a great job. Jackson even talked about Lisa with him.  The concept of his season is different, so the general public isn’t completely onboard with it, but that’s what happens with every concept change of a program.  Nine also finally got to taste some chinese food and took pictures of the dishes he eat, but confessed to no longer knowing what they were called. They were very tasty though. 

Nine’s dad made a rare tweet of gratitude and thanked the fans for their support of Nine.

this week with J9

Joong went live twice for a lot of minutes. Talking to fans and just hanging out.  He mentioned that he didn’t see Nine’s livestream for BioTherm but that he did watch his performance from a few days ago. And confirmed again that they call each other to talk.   He sang a few song, including Love you 3000, Nicotine, and one of Nine’s group songs from Chuang. His auntie made him popcorn to eat during the live. How cute! And he said that Nine was so lucky to have worked with Jackson. Who is an idol of Joong’s. He also mentioned that he’s thinking of starting a clothing-line. Joong is also back to doing a lot of exercises and went on a photoshooting day out with his Auntie and he’s watching a lot of Anime on Netflix.  He had a cold at the start the week, and seems to have got sick again by Friday. So hopefully Joong will be better soon.  It might be nothing, it could mean everything, but Joong’s IG bio no longer contains any work numbers. Motive and Insight have been removed and now you can DM him for work. This obviously makes people wonder if Joong has left Insight and is simply sitting out his remaining contract with Insight for the month, or until his rookie project has aired.  Nine had a rougher week, with once again his earpiece malfunctioning during a stage performance. Other artists had the same issue that night, but it still sucks to have happen again to Nine, causing him to be out of sync with the dancing and needing to watch the others to see where they were in the choreography.  He also had little to no solos, prompting the Official Chinese fanclub of Nine to write a letter of complaint to his management. They feel that Nine is being treated unfairly by the company. And use examples such as his lack of solo lines and screen time during performances, and his lack of solo jobs. What we are seeing him doesn’t reflect the role belong to a nr.5 ranking idol.  I don’t know if wjjw cares enough to take it seriously, but personally I agree that Nine isn’t being given the change the shine. If this is cause by the tremendous amount of hate he got in the beginning, we don’t know. But I wouldn’t be surprised.  In an interview Nine said he was a golden retriever, if he was an animal. Which is funny cause that is what the fandom labels Joong, where Nine is considered a cat. ^^.  He also said that he finds it important to support others when they are down, because when he’s down he would like for other people to that. But he’s not down often, as he believes there’s always tomorrow. A new day to try again.

I’m a little out of the loop, since I pulled out of the fandom. Too much drama and stress coming from all the fans on Twitter was ill fated on my mental health.  But Joong continues to rehearse hard for Asia Super Young with the rest of the rookies. He was given a gift from the Filipino fans and wish everyone a happy Eid.  Nine flew to a different city this week and back to do some work. I’m not sure what it is for. (Thanks for telling me, it was Go fridge!) He appears to be happy and doing alright. He’s the least booked member of the INTO1 so far, so hopefully that will change soon. His rank was nr.5 but that is by no means reflected in the work yet. Which might have something to do with all the backlash his presence in the band gathered.  Give it time, I hope.

This week with J9

Joong had some rest in between working and spend it on playing Basketbal, doing lives and eating delicious food. He’s doing photoshoots and working hard for the release of his group single ‘I love you summer’.  He mentioned that one of his contracts ends in August and he will be free to work more. Which is what he really wants to do right now.  He doesn’t always seem very happy in these lives though, but if fans can distract him for hard times than hopefully these lives are doing this.  Nine had his hair covered almost all week, for the music video they all have a different hair colour which is suppose to be a secret. Nine was back to black today, cause they were done shooting it.  Joong music video is released on the 5th and Joong has been labeled the member that sings thai and international songs.

This week with J9

Joong is training at Insight, and went Live on Wednesday.  He said that someone called him cute in China, when he was trying to be cool and handsome. and that he was really impressed with one of his korean friends because they had such great lips, so the boy gave him a bottle of the stuff he uses.  He also answered a question about Nine. Saying that they talk often and that Nine has to work tomorrow. It’s good to see them staying in touch a lot.  Nine leads a busy life right now, lots of flying, training and recordings for show. But he still makes time to talk to Joong.  Joong’s project is coming up soon and he told the fans to keep an eye out for it on Insight’s YouTube channel.  Joong also has a doujin account now, where he uploads videos too.  Nine has another rumoured sponsor, but so far none of the rumoured sponsors ended up confirmed, it could be that it takes awhile for the material to be released, but it could be that people are simply spreading wrong information.  INTO1 2nd performance is coming soon! On June the 15th, INTO1 will attend Jiangsu 616 Festival.  And the boys their appearance on Happy Camp, recorded in May, will air on June the 5th.  Nine was given a flower bouquet by fans that he asked if he could keep. And he really loved it. The fan = artist interaction in China is very different from Thailand. So this is the first gift Nine has got for him fans, because gifting idols is technically speaking not allowed. Where in Thailand it’s pretty much the norm.  So it’s great for him to be getting something like this!  Fun little timing, but just after Joong had said in his live, he often talks to Nine, Riki said Nine is the noisiest because he is on the phone every day. Liu was quick to defend that Nine talks to his family. And as confirmed by Joong, to Joong a lot as well, but obviously they cannot confirm that.  Nine also made a weibo video in which he told people he likes fruits and to eat more fruits, so Joong posted a video of himself eating an apple. ^^.  For the SixMoons fan, I have some space so a quick update.  - Earth will be in Secret Admire (BL) - Main role - Dome will be in The Theory series (BL) - main role - Ben signed with a new agency. Which is the same as Dome is under, but hasn’t landed a new role yet.  - Pavel is releasing his first solo single soon.

This week with J9

Joong shot a video with the rookies on the beach. Noticeably absent is Ou. Who has removed Insight from his bio as well. It is taken as a sign that Ou has left Insight. Either he didn’t resign, or as fans are speculating, he was unhappy with how Insight handled them in China. Whether he will still participate in ASY is unknown.  Speaking of Asia Super Young. It’s officially been announced that shows are no longer allowed to do auditions. What this means for shows that already have done them or are in the middle of them, we don’t know.  It just means that no survival shows are being kicked off right now.  It’s possible for a show to still be made, by having the show handpick it’s trainees, but that is obviously not why the rules was created.  People seem to think this was due to Chuang, but from what i was able to find, the problems with Youth With You is what started the investigation and has brought us here.  It means the future for Joong is really unsure at the moment. Mafia is still in editing with no release date in sight, and Thailand isn’t a leading country when it comes to vaccine role out, if Joong was interested in getting one.  He posted a heartbreaking text, that you don’t know how strong you are, until strong is all you can be. Which given the year he has had, is very understandable.  He did talk to his sister and continues to work and train with Insight.  His father was burried the next day, in accordance to his religious believe.  Nine might have booked more tv appearances but most of them are on rumoured. So, we’ll have to see if he really is in these shows. But confirmed we have Kuaishou, on the 31th of May.  Nine had his hair dyed back to black today.  INTO1′s fandom colour has been decided as well. Think Sulley from Disney’s ‘Monster Inc’ and it’s a match. No seriously! Those exact colours. He changed the background of his locked screen to the INTO1 boys. They used to be the Insight rookies.  And today he filmed TencentLive, the interview was live on Weibo, and hopefully someone will put a subbed version on Youtube.  His twitter trends are improving, so the fandom is now going to work hard on his superstar ranking to hopefully give Nine more jobs and sponsors. 

The fanmeeting in the Philippines which was scheduled in June, has finally been postponed, according to people who received the news through email, they are hoping to have the fanmeeting in September now.

This week with J9

Joong was out of Quarantine at midnight on Saturday. His mum posted his arrival at his home, he’s holding his North Fitness weight. Bangkok is hit by Covid so there are strict measurements in place. He spend Sunday out and about with his Auntie, and congratulated Dome on his Birthday. He also met up with Porr this week to hang out for a day, road the tuk-tuk cars that the fans had bought for him and went Live on Wednesday. His manager was in the comments again, reminding him that he only had permission for a 20 minute live. Insight is a lot stricter than Motive in this.  By the end of Wednesday Joong was seen with luggage, and showed up  on...., so we know where he will be spending most of time now.  On Thursday we got more Asia Super Young news. They have started their new recruiting in more countries and SMGlobal gave the show a shout out, since it’s sending artists to the show. It is still set to start in August. He also went Horseback riding on Thursday though it remains a mystery to this fandom with whom Joong is currently spending time. Wherever he is, they own a piano, since Joong was playing fur elise on it in Today’s update.  Nine shot his third elimination episode on Sunday. They were forced to participate in a game that included being on a boat and paragliding. Nine looked seriously out of it and upset in the evening, and fans at the scene said, he was looking pale and had been throwing up a lot. Liu Yu also got sick because of the elimination games.   He landed at nr. 7 so, at least he has that to be happy about. But I am seriously pissed at Tencent for not checking with all the boys if doing these games would cause mental and/or psychical problems. They are the ones responsible for the boys their well being and where fans have already pointed out they are doing a bad job with them mentally, they could have taken more responsibly for them psychically.  On Wednesday he was out and about with other trainees in what appeared to be some shopping.  Tomorrow’s Chuang episode will feature the ranking ceremony and has the boys receive more supportive messages from their family members and friends. After tomorrows episode on the 17th the voting system opens for one last time. With the final episode airing on the 24th with a live show. 

[j9only]

The last three days with J9

Lets start with Saturday! Nine’s first chuang2021 performance. He sang duo with Patrick and sang his own solo song after Nene requested it. At the end of it all, Nine was voted MVP by the other trainees and was declared the winner of the two.  He did super well, but was very confused how he was voted MVP whilst Patrick received the most praise from the mentors. None of the mentors were said to have voted for Nine but all trainees did thus he had 88 votes which was more than Patrick had. Most people are speculating that Patrick has a more trendy voice than Nine, and this is why he is favoured by the mentors. On Sunday Nine said, in a backstage released clip, that he didn’t feel like he had deserved the MVP spot, because he could have done better. The show didn’t air Patrick’s rap, which he performed along with his poem. This made viewers very confused about why the mentors favoured Patrick. The rap was later released on Youtube and made available for VIP tencent members. But it does mean Patrick is missing his chances to shine and he hasn’t been the only one. Certain trainees are getting a lot more screentime than others or chances to show more of their performance to the audience. We knew the show was rigged from the start, but tencent is clearly not hiding it in their editing choices.  Joong watched Nine’s performance live on his phone and showed it to his fans who caught him out and about in Shanghai. (Pic 1,2)  More news about Joong should follow soon since ASY said they would make announcements end February.  Joong wasn’t the only moon showing his support for Nine, Ben also posted on twitter how proud he was of Nine.  On Sunday Nine showed his face again, looking like a dashing prince. (Pic 3,4) He also showed up in a BTS video, where he was forced to play a starring and singing game, ala BL CP fanservice with Patrick. But you could tell they were very uncomfortable. Sadly, nobody is in a position to refuse what the show demands from them. We can only hope, it’s not a recurring thing for them.  Pic 5,6: Joong on Monday after his training session.  In other news, Channel 3 has publicized ForthBeam’s storyline and Phayo’s storyline again unless those scenes come attached to MingKit. So it looks like those were taken down by mistakes.  It remains an odd choice, since Nine was introduced as an Actor in Chuang2021, but now new fans cannot find anything cause it’s all blocked for them. Though in general Youtube is blocked in China, so it already made no sense.  Then, news about these posts. they might become less frequent. The rumours are no longer reliable, as cpop fans have warned the fandom that once the show airs, companies will make things up to gain favour for their trainee. So, there is currently no telling if something about Nine happened or if it’s Motive or Insight making it up. This means there is barely anything to post, especially about Nine other than pictures. And Joong remains uneventful at the moment as well. Mostly being spot getting coffee. So I will post these things whenever I feel I have enough to inform you about, could be anything from two to six days. 

[j9only]

Today with J9 Rumours are pouring in about all the contestants, One said either Patrick or Nine made such an impression on Sunday that the mentors said he could definitely take a spot in the debuting group. So High compliments there.  Confirmation was also given that Nine is no longer in possession of his phone, so the updates from him will all come from official sources or instructed fan accounts. It is also rumoured that ranks have been decided for the first set of the show. Chuang works with ranks to determine talent and screentime. Rank A is said to be 11 members, so those would be the 11 current trainees that should be in the boyband. Tomorrow (Tuesday) the boys will finally move into the dorms, so today they got one last rest day in their hotel. Though they might not be spending the nights in the dorm, as other rumours are talking about the boys going into the forest for their first challenges. Chuang2021 is starting to look a lot like Chuang2019 which many fans find disheartening because that season treated the boys very badly. With overcrowded dorms of 50 men per room, no real personal space. And insane challenges that have nothing to do with being an idol such as running 10 miles with their backpack. It’s also winter in China, so I hope if they do go to the forest they won’t be staying in tents, but have houses they will be lodging in. Regardless We wish Nine a lot of luck, cause these shows get crazy and hard, and any care for their mental, emotional or psychical well-being is not there.  Onto Joong: One fan saw him on Sunday and posted this one Weibo: 

I showed joong the video of nine in the #CHUANG2021 ‘s conference, and joong laughed so happily. When he knew I was going to see nine, he asked me to say Hi to nine for him. I shipped so much!   (pic 1) How cute is that! J9 still being J9. And as always Joong is captain of the ship ^^. She showed him the video where Nine introduces himself and it’s the cutest thing who happy he laughs at it.  Joong looked super fashionable outside going to the dance studios. (pic 2) And then he posted on IG from the hotelroom asking us if we were okay and telling us he was.  (pic 3)  

Pic 4: Nine on Sunday  Pic 5: Joong on Monday Other news:  Earth has been cast to play a role in Secret Admire, an upcoming BL director by P’Aam (2moons2). So he’s back to work.  And MV launched the twitter account of 2moons3, the Ambassador. But quickly put it on private. But looks like casting will start soon. 

[j9only]

The last week with J9

Chuang aired episode 2. Nine was seen showing support to Patrick during his battle and comforting him afterwards, because he had lost. We also got to see his roommates for this journey, but all those names and faces are still a nope for me. Though Patrick is in a different room, saying it was time for them to part. The fandom turned it into a joke, that only Joong can stand to be around Nine 24/7 and not get sick of it. 5555. Nine won rock, paper, scissors for the top bunk bed and he really wanted to be in that room and have that bed because he wants to become friends with Liu Yu. Who he described as charming, gorgeous and quiet. You can watch the clip here The first ranking came out though and Nine was number 13. Which means he’s two positions away from actual debuting as it stands now. On WeTv Nine was  also on the list of every country. He was the most voted for person in the Philippines. There’s still a long way to go, and today saw new trainees make their first screen debut, so rankings now are very subject to change, but it would appear Nine will be very save when the first elimination comes up.  Nine was also in the sneak peek where he was seen for a hot second dancing to Yummy. Which is a song that Nine said he chose because it was a sexy song. I had headcanoned Nine had picked the song, the moment I heard it, cause well. He’s danced to it with Joong. So it has meaning to him. But here we are. Nine said J9!rights even if they are in China. Humor me on this 555.  Joong posted from the gym on Saturday. (pic 1) and fans took pictures of him when he fed a stray dog that day, How sweet is this kid? (pic 2) On Sunday Nine was filming the theme song, he didn’t come home till 5AM. And already had to leave again the next day. (Pic 4) He definitely keeps making more friends.  Monday news came from the ASY front, Youku has announced that all trainees must leave the ASY hotel and then either go home or back to whatever the company arranges for them. This means Youku has no intention on providing for Joong anymore. And that task falls to Insight if the boys stay. Insight will have to give the rookies allowance and pay for a hotel or apartment. We don’t know yet what Insight will decided to do here.  On Tuesday Nine won a photoshoot along with 19 other members. The fans had to vote and eventual our fandom landed a top 20 spot. Nine trended at 10 on twitter that day. Nine was also featured in two vlogs by trainees Liu Yu, Watch here, and Hu Yetao, watch here.  And Motive posted the official 2moons3 poster and launched the accounts. Pavel, Dome and Ben have all made their official statements on Monday and Tuesday, that will not be present due to personal reasons. And Motive is now offering new actors a shot in 2moons3. They are also promising to give them access to the chinese market. So it looks like J9 is opening doors for Motive to go more global. Good for J9, and their power. Bad for everyone that wanted to see the end of them, since they are getting a new breathe of air this way.  Pic 3/11/12: Joong this week  Pic 8/9: Joong uploaded these to IG on Wednesday.  5/6/7/10: Nine this week. 

[j9only]

Today with J9

on Friday Joong was surprised by fans that waited for him on his way out of work. Looks like he already has a nice fanclub there (pic 1-3). And Nine’s interview with ThHeadline was released (pic 2). Nine is bringing a family picture with him, his phone or ipad, so he can mix and edit songs for performances, and money. So he can buy all the food he sees. He really wants to go everywhere in China and mostly eat a lot of food. Like Joong, Nine mentioned Jackson Wang as his favourite artist and looks for him for inspiration. Nine and Patrick were also spotted outside the venue waiting to get into the bus. (pic 4) And as you can see, Nine’s hair is black hair. Chuang must have started styling their artist and this is the design for Nine. Nine appears to be put in a group in Patrick and one other trainee, who all wore the same label on their clothes. New rumours have it they will soon be starting their recording of the Chuang2021 theme song and make the videos for it.  The boys did perform as well in front of the other trainees, who get to vote on their performances. According to intel the foreign trainees didn’t do too bad, but not too good either. Hopefully On Saturday, aka today, Joong and the other boys of ASY were photographed by fans on the boys, and Nine was also photographed on the bus. (Pic 5,6) Even apart, they are in sync 555, both were white, both engaging with fans in the bus. Love that for them. Joong went to go shopping for food first and then he wanted to buy a new clothing piece (The chinese fan said dress, so I’m not sure which piece of clothing he actually wanted), But Joong couldn’t find what he wanted. He did get a gift from the Chinese fans, who bought him some things instead. Joong’s very lucky to already have found chinese fans that want to spend money on him 555. And it’s lucky for us since we get material of Joong. (pic 7)  Nine had his first public appearance. He spoke very shortly to give people his name, but all the trainees were introduced. Many fans were confused that Nine could be so cute, since his introduction pictures were more tough and hot (Not my words, but I agree with them). He was also complimented on looking far more suitable for the cpop world with his new hairdo. And the cpop fans they care about that. They aren’t very welcoming to the foreigner, even starting a boycott account to vote out the ‘white’ trainees. So the more you pass as Chinese, the better. Unless you are already well know like some Japanese trainees. But the support for Nine is growing, so that is a good thing!  Even if he doesn’t debut, he will return home with more fans that love him. 

[j9only]

Today with J9

On Thursday Joong showed of his new haircut. All the Rookies from Asia Super Young were given one. It’s a lot shorter again!  (pic 5) The trainees will mostly have a short break coming up for the Chinese new year, but are advised to say in Shanghai because of covid spikes in other parts of the country.  Nine has his name on the board and pictures of the dorm were released. (pic 4) It’s not as bad as 2019, but it’s no princess castle. It’s still very military style and simplistic, but it would appear the groups per dorm are smaller. There’s a basketball court and dining hall. If you were wondering why Nine is wearing the same thing over and over, that is because they weren’t allowed to change clothes for the recording of an episode. So Nine had to wear his colourful hoodie for the entire duration. A fan shared a story and said Nine always bows to greet the security at the training center when he leaves and enters the building. We already knew Nine was a polite and well-mannered boy. He also bowed to down to members of staff that helped during a game every time they assisted him, and was always checking up on the photographer. Nine is building up a reputation with Chinese fans as being very polite, cute and well raised.  (pic 1,2) On Tuesday Nine was finally allowed to wear different clothes and he was rocking it in his black coat. It does make him slightly harder to spot in a crowd though. But our photographers managed to get a glimpse. (pic 3) Getting a glimpe of Joong is easier, who continues to be papped by fans on his walk to starbucks and doing groceries. A fan on the scene said Joong’s chinese sounded very cute, and that he is a fast walker. She also descibed him as looking tall and thin. Which means all the losing weight Joong has done for this competition has paid off.  (pic 6,7) Other news: P’Pat has taken on a new mission. Where he spend the summer helping Earth end his contract with Motive. He’s now making it his mission to help Ben and Pavel do the same or improve their working situation. All the boys have turned to P’Aam and P’pat for help. Ben spoke in his twitch about how sad he was that he wasn’t doing anything. MV is focusing on 2moons3 whilst keeping Ben and Pavel sidelined for the duration of their contract. It’s still not known if J9 is under their contract, that remains to be seen when they return from China and if by then a mission is needed to free them as well. He said if Dome needed his help, he would help him too. So, if J9 needs it, there’s a way out. 

[j9only]

This week with J9 Nine got a haircut and it’s fluff-fluff, which I absolutely love for him. All the boys got new styles to keep things fresh. On Saturday or Sunday we can see Nine perform with in a group with Patrick and Mika. And they are group ‘vocal’. Rumour has it they scored pretty high, so it should be good! Nine’s fandom won him another vlog, so that is something to look forward too, and Patrick moved rooms and is now rooming with Nine again. He’s in the bed of someone that has already left the show. Nine lost one friend in the first elimination, Wei Yujie, and he left Nine a gift. Not sure what it was though. An interview was released with Nine where he was asked if he would go back to acting. Nine replied that he would like to keep singing more, but that acting is something he would also like to do. It’s a U-turn from last July where Nine without hesitation chose Acting. So I think Nine is gaining confidence here and good experiences, which makes him love singing more. Though it also hints that perhaps Nine didn’t like OxQ that much. He was also asked what he’d do if Patrick debuted and he didn’t. Nine said he’d simply be happy for Patrick. This question might have been scripted since Patrick is currently set to debut and is rumoured to be a locked debutee, as in regardless of the votes he will be in the band.  Nine’s ‘Who is Werewolf’ episode came out, which is posted on the timeline for everyone to see. It’s an old one from before the first elimination round.   With rising fame, cause the return of trolls, sadly some Earthlings have decided to spread bullying rumours about Nine to make people no longer vote for him. Jealousy really is an ugly colour, but Nine’s mum is aware, so hopefully the accounts will be dealt with swiftly.   Milestone of the week: Nine reached 1M followers on Doki.  And now Joong! Joong went to Disneyland as a last trip in China before going home. On Wednesday he got the covid test and he flew back to Thailand Today, where he is now in Quarantine for 14 days in a special quarantine hotel. Not the end of a 3 month trip anyone had seen coming, but hopefully good things will come for Joong soon!

Nine’s group for this week’s performance, always remember the shows aren’t live,this was them last week. We don’t know if he will perform on Saturday or Sunday, so stay tuned. 

[j9only]

The last three days with J9

On Friday, Joong wanted to offer a cleaning lady a free meal because he thought she was homeless after seeing her go through the trash, but the fans present informed him of her job. How sweet is this boy!! (pic 2)  He also wanted to go Live to talk to the fans but posted a few minutes later that he was sorry. Joong is probably not allowed to talk to the fans. These shows are very strict. Luckily he was allowed to talk his auntie, who shared a few screenshots with the fans. (Pic 1) And where he also cannot publicly state his support for Nine, he did like two posts of J9Official about Nine.  People in these competitions aren’t really allowed to communicate publicly with members of a different companies. They really have insane rules to be honest.  Nine was on tv on Friday, but rumour hasn’t that wasn’t by chance. Tencent had their picks ready but had to change them after companies complained. Hence how we got Nine and Patrick. Insight is looking after them!  Nine was an MC for the episode and had a few lines. Positive comments from the fans about his smile followed, but not a big boost in following. So that still seems to be a problem for him.  On Saturday, Nine had his first official performance and some luckily fans were allowed to watch it. They spilled that the show was scripted and the mentors were reading comments from sheets. This was apparently very obvious when they praised someone that was a bad singer and read their lines of pieces of paper. It’s nothing new that theses shows are rigged and things have been decided from the get-go and only change if the public heavily favours someone else.  He preformed Yummy but sadly the reviews aren’t good. Fans that saw the performance called it ‘too grease’ and said the boys were out of breath to the point it harmed their singing. The dance was very sexy though, others said. And one person said it was changed and where she personally didn’t like this version of Yummy, that was merely her taste.   One good comment could be found about Nine, which was that he was refreshing and other fan said that Nine looked relaxed. Which is a good thing.  The dance segment will air at the end of February if all goes to plan, so we can see it for ourselves then. These are all rumours though and the performance could look a lot better after editing and when the show adds autotune to it, which is something they have done before apparently.  Pic 3: Nine on Friday, (he wore the same outfit on Saturday though) Pic 4: a throwback picture of himself in Motive’s backyard post to IG and Twitter on Saturday.  Pic 5: Nine on Sunday

[j9only]

Today with J9

Another Quite day. Nine posted a IGstory looking mighty fine. He appeared to still have some make up on and Ou posted a photoshoot picture to his IG, so it’s possible the project1!Boys had a photoshoot today.  in other news:  Pavel and Earth did a photoshoot together, but Pavel said it was his own project sponsored by fans. So it’s not work for either, but Motive also clearly didn’t stop this project from happening. It’s still unknown if Pavel is with Motive or not.
