Boys Planet, Post Episode 8 Analysis: What Next for the Eliminated Trainees?

In this post, I’ll give you the full analysis of the Korean vs. Global vote for the top 30. Then I’ll tell you the ranking of the eliminated trainees (ranked 29 through 51), and I’ll discuss what I think will happen next for each of the eliminated trainees! I also found a few last notes from eliminated trainees posted on social media that I can share with you. I think it’s all decently interesting so click Read more or Keep reading or whatever, get your spreadsheets and calculators ready (jk, I already did that) and let’s go!!!!

Voting analysis:

Spreadsheets are the best, my friends.

Here is the top 30 as it would be if only Korean votes counted (no benefits). The number after the name is the trainee’s real rank in episode 8. Trainees whose “Korean only” rank is five or more spaces different than their real rank will be marked in bold.

Sung Hanbin 1

Han Yu Jin 3

Kim Tae Rae 7

Kim Gyu Vin 6

Kim Ji Woong 5

Zhang Hao 2

Seok Matthew 4

Kum Jun Hyeon 10

Wang Zi Hao 19

Park Gunwook 9

Hui �� 11

Park Hanbin 13

Yoo Seung Eon 17

Yoon Jong Woo 15

Ricky 14

Keita 8

Na Kamden 20

Zhang Shuai Bo 23

Lee Jeong Hyeon 24

Seo Won 18

Mun Jung Hyun 29

Lee Seung Hwan 21

Ma Jing Xiang 30

Jay 12

Takuto 25

Cha Woong Ki 26

Chen Kuan Jui 22

Hiroto 28

Haruto 16

Ollie 27

It’s kind of interesting that the Korean population really likes Wang Zi Hao, but is comparatively cold towards Keita, Jay, and especially Haruto. Given the way that the show works, it’s more important to have Korean support than global support, so expect Wang Zi Hao to have a decent chance at making the Top9 at the end, and brace yourself to lose Keita, Jay, and Haruto. I know, I’m bummed too.

It’s also kind of interesting that if the Korean population was in charge, the two “evil edited” trainees, Ma Jing Xiang and Zhang Shuai Bo, would be much higher ranked, and in fact, MJX would have survived this elimination. You’d think that the sinophobia that MNET manifests again and again would influence Korean voters, but it doesn’t seem to.

And here is the inverse -- the top 30 as it would be if only Global votes counted (again, no benefits). Again, the number after the trainees’ names is their real rank. Particularly noteworthy differences are marked in bold.

Zhang Hao 2

Keita 8

Seok Matthew 4

Sung Hanbin 1

Kim Ji Woong 5

Han Yu Jin 3

Jay 12

Haruto 16

Kim Gyu Vin 6

Park Gunwook 9

Ricky 14

Kim Tae Rae 7

Hui 11

Wang Zi Hao 19

Yoon Jong Woo 15

Park Hanbin 13

Kum Jun Hyeon 10

Chen Kuan Jui 22

Ollie 27

Seo Won 18

Lee Seung Hwan 21

Hiroto 28

Takuto 25

Yoo Seung Eon 17

Cha Woong Ki 26

Na Kamden 20

Zhang Shuai Bo 23

Lee Jeong Hyeon 24

Mun Jung Hyun 29

Ma Jing Xiang 30

Obviously, just that top 4 is interesting -- Zhang Hao in number 1, and Sung Hanbin sinking to 4th place behind Keita and Matthew. It’s also kind of interesting how the international community doesn’t seem to be super into Kim TaeRae, my little cousin, Kum Jun Hyeon, or titanium voiced Yoo Seung Eon. This does suggest that if any of them make it into the final lineup, they may end up not as popular down the road, though who really knows -- I mean, did anyone see Chaewon from Iz*one ending up where she is now? Or Yunjin, who didn’t even make the Iz*one lineup?

I think the varied support is actually kind of good news for a lot of the trainees -- if they don’t make the final lineup in Korea, they might be able to go a more ATEEZ/Everglow route of being popular globally, even if they’re not super popular in Korea. It’s still making a living through singing and dancing, and I think a lot of them would be glad for that.

Eliminated Trainees: Final Ranking and What’s Next

29. Mun Jung Hyun 30. Ma Jing Xiang 31. Cai Jin Xin 32. Anthonny 33. Park Ji Hoo 34. Wumuti 35. Oh Sung Min 36. Lee Ye Dam 37. Brian 38. Jung Min Gyu 39. Chen Jian Yu 40. Lim Jun Seo 41. Ji Yun Seo 42. Dang Hong Hai 43. Cong 44. Lee Dong Yeol 45. Krystian 46. Bak Do Ha 47. Lee Da Eul 48. Park Hyunbeen 49. Jung I Chan 50. Choi Woo Jin 51. Lee Dong Gun

I found that ranking online, and while I can't confirm it, it strikes me as accurate. Below, I'll discuss what I see ahead for the various eliminated trainees, including a few who were eliminated in the first cut. I got out my crystal ball and tarot cards and watched the crows outside for a while and then typed up what came into my head. Let's go!

The WakeOne trainees: Anthonny(32), Mun Jung Hyun(29) and Oh Sung Min (35)

I’m optimistic for these trainees because WakeOne has a serious pool of talent on their hands. They sent ten trainees to the show, and we can hope that most of them will make it into the WakeOne group, which will be called, oh I don’t know, Won1One or something.

Wakeone trainees Kim Tae Rae, Park Hanbin, and Haruto are both doing really well on the show, and seem to me quite likely to make it through the next cut. Lee Jeong Hyeon and Cha Woongki are a little lower ranked but are both getting noticed, in different ways. Anthonny, Mun Jung Hyeon, and Oh Sung Min at least survived the first cut, and Anthonny and Mun both almost survived the second. And Anthonny had a lot of early support -- he was ranked 8th i the first episode. So he certainly got some viewer’s attention, even if their gaze strayed later on.

The two trainees who were cut in episode 5 are less certain to debut in Won1One, but it’s not impossible. Park Min Seok, who you may have forgotten, was the leader of the blighted K-leftovers team in Eps 3-4 and ended up shooting up in the rankings from 84 to 61. I think if the voting period had gone a little longer, he might have survived. Min, who you may also have forgotten, was chosen by Keita for the Kill This Love team, and I trust Keita’s assessment of him, so Min must have some skills -- but he wasn’t particularly popular, so he’s the one I’m most worried about seeing again. 🙁

It seems likely that at least one of TaeRae or Park Hanbin will make the final Bepler lineup, so if so, while he or they are performing with Bebler, I’m hopeful that Wakeone will be getting some songs ready to debut their team as soon as they’re done. I’m looking forward to seeing them all again. Won1one, fighting!

The Yuehua trainees: Brian (37) and Ji YunSeo (41)

Yuehua sent eight trainees -- remember the two “Kick It” groups? Only Brian and Ji YunSeo have been eliminated; the other six -- Ollie, Ricky, Zhang Hao, Han Yu Jin, Kim Gyu Vin, and Yoo Seung Eon are all obviously doing pretty well on the show so far. I think it’s fair to say that at least two of those are going to make the final lineup (Hao + at least one of Yujin and Gyuvin), and I think Ricky is at least going to pass the next cut. SeungEon might as well, but Ollie probably won’t, in part because he jammed his smelly finger into the camera during the “Planet Camp” bit this episode and that will make viewers associate him with bad smells, subconsciously, and they won’t want to vote for him as much.

But regardless, Yuehua is 8 for 8 in terms of having trainees pass the first cut, and 6 for 8 in trainees passing the second, and that’s pretty good. I don’t see any reason for Yuehua not to debut a team of eight and call it, oh, I don’t know, Everboy, or Boyglow. No real reason to leave out Brian and Ji YunSeo. I mean, YunSeo was in that Backdoor team that performed on M-Countdown, and that video is still getting plenty of views -- so even though his popularity wasn’t super strong, he is going to continue to get exposure. He also is a really solid vocalist. And Brian is a cutie-pie who is also a native speaker of English. So I feel pretty good that Brian, YunSeo, and all the rest will land on their feet, just fine. Everboyglow, fighting!

The houses: Bak Do Ha (46) and Jung Min Gyu (48)

Both of these trainees are actors. Mingyu (the red house) already been in some minor dramas and stuff, and DoHa (the blue house) was in this webseries with Jiwon from Cherry Bullet. I think both of them left a good impression in terms of their personality and looks -- Mingyu is a bit more lovable, and Doha is a bit more “sexy”, but I think both were likable, and that’s important. I neither think nor hope that either will debut as idols, but I think both will do well as actors, and that’s cool for them and us! K-dramas, fighting!

Krystian:

Krystian’s going to be fine, ya’ll.

Check out his insta -- @krystianwang. I think the “I’M FREEEEE!!!!!” caption says it all. He also has a post with the Limousine performance with the caption “LIMOUSINE (R.I.P크리스티안)” - - that a R.I.P. for the Korean spelling of his name. He has another post with a selfie and the caption “No rush, no rush.” So yeah, I think he’s fine.

My prediction? I think he’ll go more of a B.I. / Jackson Wang route of just making the music he likes and releasing it through Youtube. I hope he does, in fact. I don’t think he’s made to be a team player.

Krystian, Jiayou! 加油!

The other Chinese trainees: Cai Jin Xin, Chen Jian Yu, Ma Jing Xiang, and Wumuti

I think Ma Jing Xiang will probably go into modeling. He’s 6’2 and 19 years old, and I just think modeling will be easier for him. I’m sure he’ll be fine!

Cai Jin Xin is signed with an agency called TopClass, which also manages Xiaoting from Kep1er but not really anyone else. Like MJX, he’s also 6’2 and 19 years old. I think he’s demonstrated that he has a lot of trouble with both vocals and dancing, and I think he’ll end up going into modeling as well.

Chen Jian Yu is a little bit of a different story. He seems really heart-set on becoming an idol -- he did Youth With You 3 before he came to Boys Planet. Problem is, though, that on his intake form he said that he is still looking for his specialty, and that seems to be the case, even though he’s 24. He’s signed with an agency called Star On Entertainment, about which I can find NOTHING online. So… I don’t know what will happen for him. But it’s not like he was notably dreadful, but he missed his cue in the Star Level test, and made a few obvious dancing mistakes in the GGang performance. I wish him well, and it’s not impossible that he’ll eventually land on his feet, but I’m not super optimistic.

Boys Planet was also the second survival show for Wumuti -- he participated in Under19, but he left the program right before the final episode citing “personal issues.” He did well there, and actually did pretty well here, finishing in 34th place. I think he has an amazing work ethic, as shown in the first hour of Episode 8. I bet he impressed all the industry people he met in those producer meetings, and maybe something good will come out of that. He’s devoted to this, and I don’t think he’s going to give up. Between his hard work, his sweet attitude, his charm, and his singing voice, I think he could find a place for himself. I’m not sure if China will embrace him, due to his status as an ethnic minority, but I hope so. Hey, go follow him on Insta! He’s @wumutit . He posted this note:

Chinese trainees, Jiayou! 加油!

The Vietnamese trainees: Cong (43) and Dang Hong Hai (42)

Vietnam is for sure into kpop -- when I was there a few years ago, I remember seeing a big billboard for GWSN (oh, GWSN! 🙁) -- but it absolutely does have its own music scene. I don’t know much about it -- I only know Love Charms by Bich Phuong, which is a complete BOP. I’m low key obsessed with it. If you listen to it and hate it, I will personally mail you some cheese crackers as an apology for having wasted your time. In any case, my point is that Vietnam is building its own music scene. Cong and DHH are both super popular in Vietnam, especially DHH, and if things don’t work out for them in Korea, I think they could easily make a good living as idols in Vietnam. DHH probably has a better shot -- he was more popular than Cong, and also is signed to Fantagio, while I don’t think Cong is signed at all. It’s not impossible that Fantagio will sign Cong and they’ll debut together. Fighting, guys!

The wunderkinds: Park Ji Hoo(33) and Han SeoBin (60)

I always think about this moment in episode 1, when Hui stole the first chair seat from Park JiHoo. That’s all we knew about JiHoo then, that he had just gotten that seat. What did he do to get it? Knowing him like we do know, I bet he challenged whoever it was to a rap battle or something. Did we see whatever he did? Nope.

I’m so glad we got to know him a bit more in later episodes. We also got a glimpse of his friend, Han Seobin, who seems to have earned the respect of the judges and trainees alike.

I think JiHoo and SeoBin probably would have hated being on Bepler anyway. They’re signed to H1GHR MUSIC, which is where the judge pH1 is signed, among a bunch of rap artists I’d actually heard of, like Sik-K, and producers I actually recognize as well -- GroovyRoom and Woogie. Go make your own music, you teenage geniuses. I believe in you.

The babies: Lee Da Eul(47), Lim Jun Seo (40), and Lee Dong Gun (51)

Lee Da Eul and Lim Jun Seo are both signed to 143 Entertainment, which is also home to iKON, as in, yes, that iKON, the one that used to be at YG. iKON moved there only a few months ago, when their contract expired at YG. So 143 must be doing something right.

143 is also home to a small girl group called Limelight, which features MiU, a Japanese trainee who was eliminated from GP999 in the first round. Their song Eye to Eye isn’t terrible, by the way. And Lim Jun Seo is in the video, if that’s a draw for you? Also, it’s not impossible that Kang Yeseo and Mashiro will end up in that group when their term of service is done with Kepler.

So what I’m saying is that 143 Entertainmnet seems to be on the way up, and has demonstrated a willingness to debut groups relatively soon after their members leave reality shows, even if they don’t do stunningly well.

I think people will forgive DaEul, because he’s a boy and boys get forgiven in Korea. And people always liked JunSeo just fine despite his obvious need for more training. So I predict that 143 Entertainment will put them in a group with one or two more boys -- maybe an ex Youth With You-3 trainee they dig up, or a few other lost lambs from LOUD or even Boys Planet -- and they’ll call it, oh I don’t know, BoyStage or something, and they’ll put out a pre-debut single that fuses trop house with both synth pop and yelling, and the video will get 1 million views over the course of 6 months. After that, my crystal ball goes dim. But fighting, boys! I wish you both well.

As for Lee Dong Gun, he is apparently a member of a pre-debut group called Rare House, so he’s being managed, though who knows if anything will come of that. He’s really pretty, and a good dancer, and is still really young. His singing obviously needs a lot of work. He didn’t exactly thrive on this show, but he certainly had some fans. We’ll just see what the future holds for him. Fighting!

The Dongsaengs: Park Hyunbeen (48) and Choi Woo Jin (50)

Park Hyunbeen is signed to Jellyfish, along with General Gunwook and his two sergeants who he lost in episode 5, Han Yu Seop (85) and Jang Yeo Jun (62).

Choi WooJin is signed to RedStart Media, along with my little cousin, Kum Jun Hyeon, and the two trainees who were cut in episode 5, Hong Keon Hee(84) and the talented Kim Min Seoung(58).

So in both cases you have one popular trainee in a group of four, with only one of the other three surviving to the second cut. But also in both cases you have some talent in the trainees who got cut. Park Hyunbeen is actually pretty charming on stage, Hong Keon Hee just sort of makes me smile, and Kim Min Seong, though completely ignored by MNET, is really great, you guys. He was on the Backdoor-K team! He’s the one who does the flip right at the end of Backdoor -- and you know that MNET hates him because they only showed it once. THEY ONLY SHOWED A BACKFLIP ONCE, YOU GUYS. (Right before he does the flip, the whole team shouts MINSEONG-AH! affectionately. Watch it again!)

Anyway, it’s hard to know what will happen, but I fear that both these groups of four will debut post-Bepler, and it’ll be like WekiMeki and Gugudan, or Astro or CIX or even IVE, where a few extremely popular trainees vastly overshadow the rest of the group.

So here’s what I propose, Redstart and Jellyfish, and hear me out. Put all eight of these trainees on a group together! Gunwook can be the leader and center, Jun Hyeon can be main vocal, and the rest can be sub vocals and rappers. You can name the group, oh, I don’t know, R.J.A.S.F., pronounced “Raz” (the J and the F will be silent). It’ll stand for “Red Jellyfish Always Swim Free” and the group concept will be that they are encouraging their fans to swim through life’s troubles with bright cheer. I mean, I’m on board, aren’t you? RJASF, Fighting!

The Nugus: Lee Dong Yeol (44), Lee Hwanhee (46*), Jang Ji Ho (63), and Winnie (80)

*Lee Hwanhee withdrew after episode 5, but was ranked 46 at that time.

I don’t know what’s going to happen to either Up10tion or NINE.i in the future. It’s not impossible that being on this show will boost these two groups. It happened for Nu’est when 4 of their members went on Produce101 Season 2. But it doesn’t strike me as super likely in this case.

So I hope for good things, but don’t expect them.

Seo Won, who is on NINE.i with JiHo and Winnie, is still on the show, but it seems extremely unlikely that he’ll make the final Top9. Neither JiHo nor Winnie made much an impact, unfortunately. So we’ll have to see.

Up10tion’s contracts are all up in 2023 and a bunch of them have already left the agency, but not the group. Will they start to get better songs now, if they have more control in the future? Will people give them a chance? I don’t know. But I do know that Spin Off by Up10tion is a great song that just gets better the more you listen to it. Lee Hwanhee’s vocals are all over that thing. Go give it a listen. It can only help. Fighting, guys!

The Conundrums: Lee Ye Dam (36) and Jung I Chan (49)

These are two who are a bit tougher to know what to do with.

Jung I-chan, who I think prefers to call himself E-Chan, just doesn’t seem set up to be a K-pop idol. His facial expressions show every stray thought he has. He seems to lose focus quickly and seems to lack self-control or a sense of what he might seem like to other people. On the other hand, he has some musical talent and a lovely singing voice. Please go check out his Youtube Channel. He posts a lot of covers that he’s clearly making in his bedroom on a little Casio keyboard or something, but they’re good. My hope for him is that he gets to make OST songs (those are soundtracks for dramas -- a good reliable source of income for people who can actually sing but can’t really dance or perform), because really, that’s what he can do: sing. Good luck, hon.

As for Lee Yedam, oof, this is tough. I think his agency wants to push him as a soloist, but it’s not going to work out for him as a soloist. Yeah, it breaks my heart. I think he’s so effing talented, you guys. And a cutey! Shorter guys are sexy too! I don’t know what the obsession is with height. Shorter people are better on airplanes! They eat less so they’re climate friendly! Hurray for short people!

Anyway, I don’t think his agency can field a whole boy group to put him on, so I hope that he breaks his contact and goes to another agency where he can be put in a boy group. Just as there are visual members, and sexy members, and cheerful members, a lot of boy groups have “unthreatening” members. You know, the boy who is a little more approachable than the others, and who girls can daydream is their boyfriend that they cheat on with the sexy member. On Exo, it’s Xiumin. On SHINee, it was probably Onew (when they debuted). On NCT, I’d say it’s probably Doyeon, but I don’t know NCT too well. On TXT, it’s probably Taehyun. You know what I mean? Often the approachable member is also super talented, too, and it’s not like they’re unpopular, but they’re just not usually people’s bias.

Lee Yedam would be ideal for that kind of role. He's a super talented all-rounder who would be a good addition to basically any team. He can pull off cute concepts and sexy concepts. He would be unlikely to be people’s biases, but fans of the group would be protective of how talented and sweet he is. So Yedam, if you’re reading this -- go find a bigger agency that can put you on a big team. Maybe go approach Jellyfish or Redstart!

Lee Yedam, fighting!

Everyone, fighting!

So that brings me to the end of this post. I can’t really see the future, but as always, I hope everyone find a soft place to land. I really, really, do.

And you, too, dear reader. May your bed be comfortable at night, may your coffee be hot in the morning, and may your afternoons be lazy and bright.

See you next time!

(And btw, sorry for the lack of images in this post, but it would have taken a long time to add them and I just want to try to keep up with the episodes!)

Sh**ting Stars (2022)

Genre: Romance, Comedy

Synopsis: Oh Han-byul is the head of public relations of Starforce Entertainment, one of the biggest celebrity companies in the country, and Gong Tae-sung is their most famous actor. The two knew each other even before they ended up at the same company, but they never got along and still they bicker every time they come near each other. After Oh Han-byeol makes a mistake, Tae-sung vows to make her life as difficult as possible - but that means the two end up spending a lot of time together, and some say that there is not far from hate to love.

Episode info: 16 episodes / Runtime around 60 minutes

Lead cast: Lee Sung-kyung (Oh Han-byul), Kim Young-dae (Gong Tae-sung), Yoon Jong-hoon (Kang Yu-sung), Kim Yoon-hye (Park Ho-young), Lee Jing-shin (Do Soo-hyuk), Park So-jin (Jo ki-bum)

Link to watch: You can watch on Viki or Dramacool

Drama rec masterlist | Drama rant thread (beware of spoilers)

This is the cutest freaking drama, and I am so sad it's actually over. Though I do like the kdrama format of 16 episodes, sometimes I wish they would go on just a little longer, so I can have more time with the characters.

It's cute as hell, cheesy in all the right ways, and laugh-out-loud funny. Enemies to lovers is always a yes from me, and this was just perfect. Their chemistry is off the charts! I want nothing more than to see these two actors work together again.

If you have seen Business Proposal, I feel like the vibes are very similar (In a good way). So I'm also saying that if you haven't seen either of the two dramas, get a move on and do it 😂 If you enjoy rom-coms even just a little, you will love them, I promise.

I will have to say that I was somewhat disappointed when they went for the love triangle, but they actually somehow pulled it off and managed not to ruin any of the characters for me. So I'll let it slide just because.

If I have to be nitpicky, I do want to say that the overall drama was a bit messy. They tried to put a lot of different stories into it and had so many b-plots I actually lost count along the way. I do feel like some could have been cut without affecting the drama at all, and if that's the case, the b-plot should have just not happened. (I tried to count all the b-plots and think it came up to like 6 or 7 different things going on almost all throughout the drama - that is a lot for only 16 episodes).

The main story, however, was perfect, and I'm not going to let anything ruin that for me.

It had everything I love in a good rom-com and I will definitely come back to rewatch sometime in the future.

Just some random pseudo-norse syllables

VINCENZO // // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı:8,4 Benim puanım:8

Drama: Vincenzo

Hangul: 빈센조

Director: Kim Hee-Won

Writer: Park Jae-Bum

Episodes: 20

Date: 2021

Language: Korean

Country: South Kore

Cast: Song Joong-Ki, Jeon Yeo-Bin, TaecYeon, Jo Han-Chul, Kwak Dong-Yeon

Bir arkadaş tavsiyesiyle hadi bir bölüm bakalım diye başladık. İtiraf etmeliyim hiç izleyesim yoktu. Dizinin konusu İtalyan bir aileye evlatlık verilen Vincenzo Cassano (Song Joong-Ki )'nun büyüyüp İtalyan mafyasına danışmanlık ve avukatlık yapması ile başlıyor. Mafya babası öldükten sonra emekli oluyor. Yalnızca ölen mafya babasının ve Vincenzo’nun bildiği köredeki bir binanın altına saklanmış büyük miktarda altını çıkartmak için ülkesine dönüyor. Binayı yıktırıp altınları çıkartması gerekiyor ancak kasa çok aşamalı korunuyor. Ve binada dükkanları olan insanlarda dahil bundan kimsenin haberi yok. Vincenzo bina sakinleri ile tanıştıktan sonra aslında dizi başlamış oluyor.

Dizinin ilk 15dakikası beklentiyi o kadar yükseltiyorlar ki, 1.bölümün sonunu zor getiriyorsunuz. Song Joong-Ki’nin Vincenzo olarak girişinin muazzam olduğunu çok net söyleyebilirim. Karakter ile tanışmamız daha karizmatik olamazdı. İtalya’yı kasıp kavurduktan sonra Vincenzo’muz basıp geliyor Kore’ye.

Birinci bölümün sonunda ‘ben bunu izlemem’ dedim. Ne yalan söyleyeyim, dedim valla. Zorla ite kaka ikinci bölümü açtık. Yok ya dedim ben gerçekten bu diziyi izleyemeyeceğim. O ilk bölümün başındaki ihtişam, beklenti su balonu gibi söndü. İtalyan mafyasının anasını ağlatan adam Kore’ye ayak bastığı anda iki paçoz tarafından soyuldu. Kendi sahip olduğu binaya geldi, binada dükkan sahipleri tarafından itin götüne sokuldu. Eee dedim, nerde demin gördüğümüz Vincenzo? Üzerine bir de dükkan sahipleri birbirinden taban tabana zıt inanılmaz cringe tipler. O kadar rahatsız oldum ki izlerken, aman ya rabim. Bu arada yıkılması istenilen binanın Babel Grup dedikleri bir şirkette peşinde. Bina sakinleri de Babel Grup ile hukuki bir savaş içerisindeler. Vincenzo da bu savaşa dahil olunca takriben üçüncü bölümde dizi başlar gibi oluyor. Bu sırada esas kızımızda avukat (Jeon Yeo-Bin), onunla da bu süre zarfında tanışmış oluyoruz.

Bu noktada, en azından buraya kadar izleyebildiyseniz, izlemeye devam ediyorsunuz. Dizi boyunca iyi, kötü ve adalet kavramları sorgulanıyor. Dizinin geneli ‘Canavarlarla savaşmak için canavar olmak gerekiyorsa, öyle olsun.‘ cümlesi üzerine minik minik işlenmiş gibiydi. Arka planda dönen güç savaşı bir süre sonra bütün konuyu hakimiyeti altına almayı başarıyor. Dizide öyle aman aman bir aşk hikayesi yok. Zira avukat kızımız ile Vincenzo hiç aşk yaşayacak bir kimyaya sahip değillerdi. Öyle bir yola girmemeleri daha inandırıcı olmuş. Burada ufak bir araya gireyim, dizide ikiliyi yakıştırmasam da Jeon Yeo-Bin ve Song Joong-Ki şimdilerde evlenmeyi düşünüyorlarmış. Diziden sonra onların arasındaki kimya tutmuş demek ki.

Apartmandaki dükkan sahipleri ilk etapta inanılmaz cringe gelse de her biri matruşka bebekleri gibi açılıyorlar. Her birinin içinde başka bir cevher, farklı bir hikaye gizli. Bölümler ilerledikçe Vincenzo’nun Kore’deki mafya grubu izlenimini yaratıyorlar. Ama o ilk bölümün ilk çeyreğindeki aksiyonu başka hiçbir bölümde göremiyorsunuz. Şimdi efsane bir şey olacak, heh şimdi ağzımız açık kalacak, tam şuan herkesin ağzına sıçacak diye koltuk tepelerine çıksanız da, maalesef beklentiyi karşılamıyor. İlk sahnede gereksiz yükselmişler.

Dizi içerisindeki komedi unsurlar, karakterlere kaynadıktan sonra cringe olmaktan çıkıyor diyebilmeyi çok isterdim. Ne yazık ki sonuna kadar cringe olmaya devam ettim. Ve bütün sezon boyunca ‘ee altınlar ne olacak’’ diye sorarak izledim.

Son olarak dizinin kötü adamlarından bahsetmek istiyorum. İlk bölümlerde Babel Grubun başındaki kötü adamımız (Kwak Dong-yeon), sonlara doğru benim favori karakterlerimden biri oldu. Çok keyifli bir karakterdi. Daha önceki bölümlerde fark etseydim keşke dedim. Onun da patronu olan esas kötü adam (Ok Taec-yeon ) ise oyunculuk anlamında on numaraydı. Kendinden nefret ettirmesine rağmen, oyunculuğunu çok takdir ettim.

Ben bu diziyi izlemem diye ilk kez ön yargılı yaklaşmış olsam bile, dizinin kendi hikaye örgüsünü bir süre sonra çok sevdim. Bir noktadan sonra heyecanla izledim. Spoiler vermeyi çok umursamıyorum ama büyüsü kaçmasın diye son kısmı üstü kapalı anlattım.

Bitirmeden ufak bir not daha ekleyeyim. Song Joong-Ki ile bu dizide tanıştık. Yanındaki oyunculara oranla kısa boyu, oynadığı sert karaktere zıt baby face’i beni hiç çekmedi. İzlerken tip olarak beğenmedim kendisini. Şuan çok özür diliyorum. Joesonghabnida Song Joong-Ki. Kıymetini bilememişim. Başka yerlerde başka rollerde tekrar karşılaştığımızda hatamı anladım :D

OST:

Lee Nyeom - Un diavolo scaccia l'altro

Raven Melus

BAŞKA NELER VAR ?

Thank you Lee Kwang Soo

Hello everyone,

long time ago, I wrote a post about a korean show called Running Man and how much it meant to me. The reason why I did that, was because a couple of years ago, there were news the show was ending or switching to a new format, with new cast members etc and when that happens to a show that has brought so much joy not only to me, but millions of people around the world, it sucks.

Today, I’m writing cause I was checking an outlet for korean news when I read that Lee Kwang Soo was stepping down from Running Man due to his injury not being fully healed. And I’m not gonna lie, I wanted to think it was a joke, it was like reliving that day when I thought my fav show was ending, I read through the article and I shed some tears cause as a fan, the only thing I can do is bid farewell to an amazing person in a Lee Kwang Soo way.

To Lee Kwang Soo.

When the show started I was very confused with you because you were an actor but your vibe was very different to Joong Ki’s. You were so shy but very unlucky from the very first moment and I thought that you wouldn’t really last there. Oh how wrong I was.

As the show progressed and gained popularity, you went on to shed a bit of that shy shell you had at the very beginning and became “Framer Kwang Soo” when you started to frame your Ji Hyo noona saying somebody saw her smoke or kim Jong Kook dating somebody, and I have to admit, I was enjoying those. I wasn’t a fan at first due to the nature of the slandering, but the more I watched it, the more I understood how it was just for the show and you weren’t that way.

I was cracking up everytime you appeared cause I knew I was up for a good laugh. You became a synonym for a good laugh and I know everyone will feel the same way. When Running Man became an international hit and the animals ep was out, the whole “you’re a giraffe” had me dying cause it was giving his position right away to the enemy.

Not only you became a giraffe but also Asia’s Prince and I know it’s kinda funny to say so, and how you believed that, but I really think you became that. You became a person who was loved not only in Asia but in the whole world. You have this energy to you that you know there’s more to see.

Slowly you became a fan favorite, not only because you were funny and you were bringing laughter to everyone around you but because everyone saw how good of a person you are through your manners. How you were always helping Ji Hyo or the hyungs around, how you always were for others more than yourself and how selfless you are.

Thank you for becoming the gem of the show, Running Man needed you as much as you needed Running Man. Thank you for your antics with Jaesuk,

For becoming the younger brother that Ji Suk Jin needed.

For bringing out more of Gary’s personality to the spotlight.

For becoming the unexpected person that could go against Kim Jong Kook and your antics with him.

For being Song Joong Ki’s best friend as well as his butler.

For scheming alongside Haha and making each episode feel like a huge movie...that would start like a spy movie but slowly it becomes a comedy.

For being an equal to Somin and almost forming a love line with her and for being an airhead together with Sechan, making you guys the maknae line we love and cherish and making them feel welcome in the show at a very tumultous time.

I’ve decided to save for last Ji Hyo noona cause I think you hold Ji Hyo in a special place in your heart, like an older sister. You know, whenever I was watching Running Man, I always thought you guys were similar. You both were coming from an acting background and slowly became part of our lives, you guys became the gems of the show in very different ways, while Ji Hyo took the “I’m so cool” route becoming the ace, you became THE MOMENT, the laughing stock, and gosh I love it. As not only your fan but also Ji Hyo unnie’s fan, I want to thank you for the bottom of my heart. For always being there for her, for taking care of her,

for making sure she would get screen time,

for being attentive

for your antics with her

and for being her younger brother.

Thank you. Thank you for being you and for giving us so many years of love and laughs, you will always have a space in our hearts.

From a loving fan. Sincerely Thank you.

PS: Thank you for being the lost twin brother of Han Ki Bum

Kpop Idols in BLs

Ironically the first idol to appeal in a Korean BL role so far as I can tell is Japanese idol Terada Takuya (Cross Gene) who was ½ of the BL couple in 2015′s The Lover.

The first Korean idol to do so was Yoo Dong Kyun (Khan of ZPZG), who was in Tropical Night (2017). It v. sad.

Idols in BL Shows

2015 - Terada Takuya (formerly Takuya of CROSS GENE) The Lover

2017 - Yoo Dong Kyun (Khan of ZPZG, disbanded) in Tropical Night

2020 - Cheon Seung Ho (Seungho of THE MAN BLK) in Mr. Heart

2020 - Kang In Soo (MYNAME, disbanded) in Wish You & Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding (2021)

2020 - Lee Sang (IMFACT, inactive) in Wish You

2021 - Hur Hyun Jun (formerly Hwall of THE BOYZ) in Color Rush

2021 - Son Woo Hyun (Ghun of X-5, disbanded) in To My Star

2021 - Kim Yoo Hwan (SPEED, disbanded) in The Tasty Florida. I am gonna add that amazing body of his is well earned. He was one of SPEED’s acrobats and they had some of the greatest trick work EVER fielded in the industry (fight me). He’s the white shirt in this one (watch until the end, that swing flip I CAN’T EVEN. And he’s the ripped jeans + run dmc shirt in this one (yeah they’re fucking dancing in wheelies).

2021 - Choe Chan Yi (formerly Chanyi of THE MAN BLK) in Light on Me (ACE did the song)

2022 - Park Bum Jun (Bumjun of band 2Z) in Behind Cut (2Z also appears in Ocean Likes Me)

2022 - Eom Se Ung (formerly Seung of THE MAN BLK) in Behind Cut

2022 - Park Jun Hee (Jun of A.C.E.) Tinted With You

2022 - Han Sang Hyuk (Hyuk of VIXX) in Color Rush 2

2022 - Kim Ji Woong (INX, disbanded) in Kissable Lips & Roommates of Poongduck 304

2022 - Park Seo Ham (formerly of KNK) in Semantic Error

2022 - Park Jae Chan (DKZ) in Semantic Error

2022 - Ok Jin Uk (trot group SUPERFIVE) in Cherry Blossoms After Winter

2022 - Holland in Ocean Likes Me (soloist, first out gay idol in a BL, also appears in Roommates of Poongduck 304)

2022 - Leo (VIXX) in Happy Ending Romance

2022 - Karam (THE BOSS, inactive) in Happy Ending Romance

2023 - JunQ (MYNAME, inactive) in Individual Circumstances

2023 - Jaehan & Yechan (BOTH from OMEGA X) in A Shoulder to Cry On

2023 - Gongchan (maknae of B1A4) in Unintentional Love Story

2023 - Lee Dong Won (main rapper of KNK) in Happy Merry Ending

2023 - Kim Kyu Jong (formerly of SS501, major stage musical actor) in Happy Merry Ending

This has been a brief history of idols in BLs, Love in Spring not included. I’m sure I missed some and I’m sure there will be more. Comment with additions, please.

I’m stopping now. Pretty much every new KBL has soem kinda idol in it from 2023 on. It’s actually stranger to see one without an idol now.

I did dither over THE MAN BLK legitimately counting for various reasons, but then decided Kpop-ness is not my judgement to make, and left them all in.

Also it should be noted that Rowoon of SF9 does a killer job as a bisexual character in The King’s Affection, but that’s not BL.

Kpop MV BLs:

K.will - Please don't... - unquestionably the most famous, this is a tragic BL and features two extremely famous Kdrama actors from almost a decade ago!

Park Won - Fuxxxxx crazy - features Han Se Jin from Mr Heart and Lee Ki Hyun from Light On Me)

Park Won - Fuxxxxx crazy - in English, vocal by 스텔라장, with additional sexy footage

The Rose - Beauty and the Beast - 3 fairy stories, one of which is gay

OnlyOneOf’s hit libitO also has BL themes.

LOVE is RIGHT

There’s a lot more sensuality and queer context out there, so I’ll pass you along to this fun video on the subject with samples.

The OnlyOneOf BL MV series

YooJung (main dancer, visual) - begin - BL love story continued in...

KB (lead rapper, visual) - be free - continuation and other side of above story

JunJi (lead vocalist, lead dancer) - be mine - second BL couple story continued in...

Rie (lead vocalist, lead dancer) - because - other side of above second couple, this one has the BL pool trope and is a break up MV

Mill (main rapper) - beat - this is my favorite of the series it’s a “saving him from his bullies” romance, very cute, completed in...

Nine 'beyOnd' (vocalist, mak) - beyond - other side of above third couple, bit of a bad boy trope

Bonus: 'Fuxxxxx Crazy' MV Making Film

Most of Holland’s stuff is hella gay, but not necessarily BL.

Taiwanese Bl actor, Lin Yu (OuWen in Love is Science?) featured in a sad gay MV

MOAR?

Takara & Amagi were both played by Jpop idols. Arata Sato is a member of IMPACTors, and Oriyama Nao of Shounen Ninja (both groups are managed by Johnny's Jr). I’m not going to track the Jpops in JBLs because challenges.

That said, 2022′s The Usual Night (Twitter account) from Japan is a 10-ep fake documentary series starring the members of Jpop group the Fantastics. It flew under everyone’s radars but apparently has a BL subplot featuring Yagi Yusei (My Beautiful Man) and Seguchi Leiya. This officially means they beat OnlyOneOf to the punch as the first inter-group BL pairing. Keito Kimura (Onoe from Candy Color Paradox) is also a member of Fantastics and in the show. Source reddit.

Follow up question:

Do I think any MAJOR idols will do BL?

I think it's pretty unlikely right now.

ACE's Jun is probubly the biggest idol to have done a BL so far (at the time, pre-BL, not post). I do think the Jaehyun (NCT) possibly doing a BL thing thing was a rumor. Boy do I neither care nor want to argue about this, please don't comment on the subject. He's cute, it'd be fun, *waves hand in air* go away NCTzens.

If it's a major idol currently active it'll be a non-Korean (contract allowing) or one of those 3rd Gen out-of-contracts we are about to see a lot more of. (You better believe everyone is watching GOT7 to see what they do and how they handle it, so...)

But I think BL will still only be able to tap second tear idols even then - so VIXX not GOT7, for example. No shade on VIXX, they’re amazing, but they don’t have the same numbers in any arena, literally and figuratively. Also those from defunked and fractured groups seem to be fair game. And it’ll still be mostly the shorter idols who want to break into acting. And/or the ones old enough not to give a shit about reputation anymore. (None of this applies to Japan, attitudes are way different there.)

The personality of the idol really plays into this too. Like I could see Ten or Yuta (NCT) being all “fuck it, I’m doing a BL” (eventually) but not Mark (GOT7) for example.

It's unlikely any studio would allow a highly active 4th gen do a BL. And yes, I do think it's studio controls in place, they’re very careful with their stable.

You don't let a triple crown racehorse do dressage no matter how popular dressage becomes.

That said, if the racehorse doesn’t perform well but dressage can somehow help?

Kpop group DKZ’s prior album first week’s sales? 1,482. Comeback in April 2022? 107,965.

The reason for that 100x increase? Most likely Park Jae Chan’s appearance as SongWoo in Semantic Error.

Apparently he had to convince his company to let him do it.

Do you feel drunk with power BL universe? I do. (info via KPOP Junkee)

In other news NuNew & Nat (Thai BL Cutie Pie) do a fun acoustic cover of Blackpink’s Lovesick Girls, which I find rather amusing for some reason.

Other BL + Kpop crossover stuff from me:

BLs as K-pop groups

K-pop Allegiance chart

Match a Kpop song to that BL!

GOT7 Jay B singing wet track

10 Korean Male Beauty Ideals

Top 10 Kpop Idol BL Fantasy Cast List

My Favorite BL OTSs

Okay so “sing your feelings” is one of my least favorite tropes but still I often get asked about my favorite OSTs (original sound tracks), if I gravitate to anything it’ll just be one OTS (theme song) here are some of mine in no particular order:

Dark Blue Kiss - I genuinely love the weird drama-llama intro music, but yeah, no singing

Color Rush by Ryu Su Jeong and Finding You Kwon Soon Il- I like both theme songs enough to have actually purchased them

Wish You’s Wish For You by Kang In Soo & Lee Sang (IMFACT)

I'll Be There by Johnny (To My Star)

Light On Me’s Spark by A.C.E.

Ocean Likes Me by Holland (for the BL of the same name)

My Oxygen sung by Nut (though I got tired of it fast)

I Still by Leo (VIXX) for Happy Ending Romance (Leo’s voice is just...)

Sunshower by Ayumu Imazu (for Eternal Yesterday) was my favorite of 2022, it’s still lives on my playlist in regular rotation, the BL on the other hand...

Rainbow - the refrain, not the main theme song, for Love Tractor

I’m probably missing a few, but I’ll add to this so long a Tumblr lets me.
