The BUILD UP BRAPPIES, 2x2 Rivalry edition

Time to take a brief break from my MNET Build Up Recap Project to hand out some BRAPPY Awards for Excellence in the Field of Excellence! In this post, I'll be giving out BRAPPIES based on how everyone did in the 2x2 Rival Mission. Let's go!

Favorite Performance Overall:

I have to give it to River, of course. I was thinking, “Which of these do I most want to just rewatch right now?” and that’s the one. You can fairly point out that I also like the song, and that’s true. But there you go.

Honorable mentions: Sherlock, Dangerously

Favorite Performance of a Song I Don’t Like:

I’ll give this one to Moon. The song itself is whatever, but I liked Joohee and Euibin’s performance.

Honorable mention: Still Love You by Hyukjin and Inseong

Performance Helped Most By Song Choice:

I have to give this one to My Sea. The song is so incredibly emotional that it’s hard to deny, even if the performance had been a little weak. I’m not saying the performance WAS weak, but having a song like this is nothing but a boon.

Honorable mentions: End of a Day, To My Youth 

Performance Hindered Most By Song Choice:

Woong and Seokhwa’s performance. No question. Blackpink can make almost any song seem good, but I’m not sure even they can save Kick It, much less two nervous idols alone on a stage with critical judges. 

Honorable mention: Sungwon and Taehwan doing Play. 

Teammate Most Screwed Over By a Teammate:

What? What's this? There's a tie?? This is unprecedented!

The awards go to Kwon Euibin AND Kim Seongjeong.

In the case of Kwon Euibin, not only did Joohee get most of the lines in the song, he got most of the attention on the show in general. We didn’t hear a single word of feedback about how good/bad Euibin did. Then, the duo got a comparatively low score primarily because Joohee couldn’t keep it together. And yet, the damn judges saved Joohee! Someone get that fire extinguisher and keep it handy. Grrrr. 

Kim Seongjeong went through basically the same thing. His teammate Gwangseok was the problem in their performance, and yet, the judges saved Gwangseok.

Team Most Screwed Over By The Team Itself:

This award goes to Seokhwa and Woong. I think both of them would have been better off working with someone else.

I keep thinking, what if Yeo One had been obsessed with working with Seokhwa for some reason, instead of Lim Junhyeok? And then what if Woong had ended up with Junhyeok, who was his old hyung from his JYP days? I really ended up enjoying Yeo One and Junhyeok’s performance, but if Woong and Junhyeok had sung that same song together I think it would have been even better, as Woong is no question a better vocalist than Yeo One.  And Yeo One and Seokhwa could have sung a sweet, light song together; perhaps they could have done Been Through by EXO. There, I fixed it. You’re welcome. 

Biggest Discovery:

Kwon Euibin. I just loved his performance, and I never noticed him that much before.

Biggest Glow Up from Previous Round:

Kwon Euibin again. Round one, he looked like an actual robot. Round two, he looked like a slightly thicc dude. Huge improvement. 

Biggest Dimming Down from Previous Round:

Geonu, sweetie, darling, honey pie. You were a nominee for best sweater in the first round and then there's... this??? What. Is. This. Sweater.??

Biggest Coat-tail Rider:

Geonu again. I believe strongly that his team won primarily because of Soomin’s performance, not Geonu’s. 

Honorable mention: Kim Seongjeong, who *wanted* to ride on Gwangseok's coattails very badly.

Best Sweater:

This is it. This is the best sweater from this round. There wasn't a lot of competition, but this one would have won anyway.

Team That Seemed To Have the Most Fun:

Taehwan and Sungwon, Play. 'Nuff said.

Team That Cried The Most:

Donghyun and Sunyoul, I assume. We didn’t see them actively crying in the montage, but I get the feeling they were crying a lot in private. 

Song That Made Me Cry the Most:

End of a Day, but that’s kind of a special case.

Honorable mentions: My Sea, To My Youth 

Most Random Judging Moment:

The judges hating Hwanhee and Hwanji. No question. Did Hwanhee like, park in VCG’s parking spot? Did he take the last cherry danish? WHAT. HAPPENED. HERE.??

Most Spot on Judging Comment:

When VCG pointed out to Seokhwa and Woong that lowering the key to adapt a female song for males to sing it would also mean lowering the intensity and interest of the song, it was such an interesting lightbulb moment. I think there's some real truth to that.

Best Dahee moment:

Dahee had a lot of great moments, but the best was when she came up to Jeup and Suhwan after their performance of Sherlock and murmured that she enjoyed it more than the original version.

Honorable mentions: When she danced to Hmm Cheat, When she told someone she thought they were cool even though they lost

Judge Who Pissed Me Off The Least:

I was going to give an award to the judge who pissed me off the most, but I found that I couldn't make up my mind on that. All I knew is that it wasn't Wendy. So, I decided to give her this award instead. She’s also Wen-fucking-dy and I love her voice. Reveluv for life.

Ok, that's it for this round of Brappies! Is there an award I got wrong? An award you'd give out? Let me know!

I'll see you in the next post, when we gear up for the 3x3 Death Match. I don't know what it is about that name that makes me anxious. Must be all those threes.

See you soon!

A Sweet Coincidence (Idol!Gunwook x F!Reader) Chapter 0: Before Then

word count: 1k

It was early February, the air was chilled and there was freshly fallen snow on the ground. The sky was a dull gray color and the wind was picking up at a rather uncomfortable speed. Contrasting to the weather outside, the dimly lit apartment was warm, the scent of hot chocolate and cookies were fresh in the air. If you looked around, it was a cozy little environment, at first glance you would have barely even spotted the girl cuddled up in her blankets on the couch. Her eyes were focused on her tv screen, her breathing even and steady, her hands were starting to fidget. 

there were three minutes left,

then two,

then one,

then it started. 

The intro of an unfamiliar show rang through the room, the girl stared at the screen as the narrator spoke his words and prefaces. When the episode finally started, the screen read “Boys Planet.” Y/n had been very excited to watch this show that had been upcoming for months. The trainees were announced months ago and she had already found many of them interesting due to their one minute pr videos.  As the episode came and went she thought back to everything she had just witnessed. All of the first audition performances played back in her mind, but one really stuck with her, along with a specific trainee. She had seen this guy before, she couldn't exactly remember where she had though. No, we aren't talking about contestants like Hui from Pentagon, Hwanhee and Dongyeol from Up10tion, Keita from Ciipher, and the Nine.i members, not even the previous members of TOO. She had seen this trainee before, not from being in a group, or acting, or modeling, but somewhere else. 

And then it hit her, it was a different survival show.

She racked her brain through the many different survival shows she had watched through the years, which one was it, where had she seen him? Oh, it was that one, ‘Wild Idol.’ 

Park Gunwook, from ‘Wild Idol’, you had watched this show ages ago, thinking back to that time, she remembered that she really liked and was rooting for him, how could she have forgotten him? You grabbed your phone and opened your gallery. You scroll back to when the show was airing and low and behold there were pictures of Gunwook and multiple pictures of drawings you had done of him.

Scrolling through all of them you came across many things you had forgotten about, including everything you had previously known about Gunwook. All of those thoughts that were hidden deep in your backroom files of your brain came flooding back. No wonder the young male had made such a big impact on you through his pr video and the first episode. Though it had seemed as if his persona had changed, a lot. He was way more confident and it seemed like he had matured so much, a lot can happen in just two years though. When his past show was airing, you found him absolutely adorable, but this time around he was way more attractive to you. 

Just like before the way that he performed showed exactly what he was capable of. He was talented, very talented, and the rest of the contestants on the show seemed to think the same due to the reactions they had when he was announced to be a three star. Even though he was ranked lower than everyone thought he would, it did not mean anything, he was still a talented kid that was not to be messed with. He impresses you. You admire him, not just as an idol, but as a person, a performer. His personality was just insanely likable, his passion could be felt through the screen, and his talent could ot be ignored. All of that plus his amazing looks, his build and his smile, 

And just like that, you were whipped for Park Gunwook for the second time in your life. 

It's crazy how fast someone can fall, and of course you fully believed that you would never be anything more than just his fan. Someone who supports him in everything he does, someone who buys his merch so they would chart higher. That's who you were, and who you always would be, just his fan. It seemed like it lasted forever, but in just a short amount of time, ‘Boys Planet’ was over and Gunwook was selected to be a part of the debut group ‘ZeroBaseOne’. Voting for him everyday for months on end was something you would never regret, and spreading your fanart got you quite a large following on your socials. You were now known as ‘that one gunwook fan, that really good artist.’ ZB1 had performed, met fans, filmed content, all of that leading up to their debut, oh their debut, it was wonderful. 

‘In Bloom’ 

What a perfect song, with perfect lyrics, and with not so perfect line distribution. It stood out, their whole album stood out, it broke records, they broke records. 

“The more I run to you everyday, The harder it becomes to stop.” That line, Gunwook’s line, details exactly how you feel. You will never stop running towards him, supporting him, loving him from afar. It’s a sad thing, something you would never wish upon another. You knew, you knew damn well you would always just be his fan, and you were okay with that ultimately, but somewhere inside, it hurt. 

Second after second, minute after minute, hour after hour, and day after day, you supported him and Zb1 with everything you had. And in that time you had found a mostly unknown but cozy cafe that you had spent most on your time in. Most of it consisted of drawing fanart for Zerobaseone, mostly gunwook. 

Little did you know that on one day, one summer day, things would flip upside down. Cliché, I know, but this is meant to be cliché. 

That day, he walked in.

I really hope you enjoyed this first little chapter!

Boys Planet Episode 3-4 Recaps: Kill This Love 

If you’re following the MNET show Boys Planet, you probably know by now that the editors are extremely irritating. For a song “mission” like this, they show 2-3 minute montages of some of the teams practicing, then fast forward to show time passing, then make it look like the performance will start any moment, and then have a lengthy flashback before we finally get to see the performance. 

So, I made a main recap that takes you through episodes 3 and 4 in a linear way, but then when it comes to focusing on each team, I’ll put all those thoughts in a separate post so you can keep the storylines straight. This post is on the Kill This Love teams. 

The Teams

K team:

Leader: Lee Hwan Hee

Real leader: General Park Gunwook

Other members: Hong Keon Hee, Han Yoo Seop, and Jang Yeo Joon. 

I’m going to assume you recognize Hwanhee (with the silvery hair), though I’ll remind you briefly that he’s the main vocalist of Up10tion. I also assume you recognize Gunwook by now, so here are the other three:

Left to right, that’s Han Yoo Seop, Hong Keon Hee, and Jang Yeo Joon. 

Han Yoo Seop (18) and Jang Yeo Joon (17): Both Jellyfish trainees, they both used to be in 3 stars and have fallen to 2 stars.  Yoo Seop is ranked 71st, and Yeo Joon is ranked 60th. 

Here are the Jellyfish trainees in their GBTB audition: 

Left to right: Jang Yeo Jun, (Park Hyun Been - not in this group), Han Yu Seop, Park Gun Woo

Hong Keon Hee: He’s 18, he auditioned with Nunu Nana, and while he’s ranked pretty low (he’s at 87th place) and overtly ignored by MNET editors, he has been a 3 star trainee the whole time. And he’s got a cute smile! 

Here’s NuNu NaNa:

G team: 

Leader: auburn haired center Zhang Hao 

Other members: Keita, Seok Matthew, Wang Zi Hao, Min, and Chen Kuan Jui

I’m going to assume you know Keita, Seok Matthew, and Zhang Hao by now, but let me remind you about Min, Wang Zi Hao, and Chen Kuan Jui. 

Min auditioned with Anthonny and Haruto in Glitch Mode. He’s from Thailand, he’s 22, he’s signed to Wake One, he has been three stars the whole time, and he moved up in the rankings from 80th place at the end of ep 1 to his current rank of 65. 

Wang Zi Hao

His audition wasn’t aired, but it was pretty good. He did Veil by Lay. 

He’s 21 years old, and has moved down from 29th place to 38th place in the rankings even while he’s moved up from 3 stars to All Stars. Apparently, his special is Krumping, which he showed the judges in a segment that we’ve only seen a few seconds of. 

You probably remember Chen Kuan Jui. He’s that extremely flexible guy. 

He’s from Taipei, he’s 22, he auditioned with Tiger Inside, he’s moved up in the rankings from 54 to 30, and he was a 4 star at first but has dropped to 3 stars, which can happen.

Team Selection:

We saw both teams being selected in this case, so we know that the G-team was the second G-team to be formed, while the K-team was the 6th (of 7) teams to be formed. Keita chose the members of G group, while Hwanhee let Gunwook bully him into picking the members of K-group. 

We begin 53:51 in to episode 3.   

The two Kill This Love teams face off in a shared practice room. Hilariously, auburn haired center Zhang Hao interviews in his excellent if halting Korean, “Park Gunwook is scary. He’s young, but he’s scary. Even though we have one more member, I feel like we will lose.” 

The Global trainees say that they will ask the Korean trainees later about the lyrics (and how to pronounce them or what they mean, I guess?) and Hwanhee jokes that the lyrics are “I kill you.” Aww, Hwanhee, you’re trying to be funny. Bless!! 

There’s a brief intermission in which we see who is on which team, and then we’re back to the teams. 

Part Selection 

As usual, the different parts (main vocal, sub vocal, etc) are dramatically imbalanced, with the “killing part” getting 44 second of center time.  I’d make some sort of comment about MNET but I think we all already know. 

On the G-side, all of them want the killing part, of course, but the team unanimously chooses Keita, and I think that’s probably wise. Then we have one of those sympathetic MNET edits where we watch Matthew try for each part and keep losing out. But I mean, Zhang Hao sounded perfect in his “audition” for main vocal, and Wang Zi Hao brings more color and personality to subvocal 1. 

On the K-side, General Gunwook has A Plan.

Gunwook has planned for Hwanhee to be the main vocal -- of course -- and for Keon Hee to be the rapper, with the other two teammates being the other vocals. All comes to pass as Gunwook has ordained. Han Yu Seop is a little sad that he couldn’t be main vocal, but I’ll put in that I didn’t think he did the most spectacular job with the main vocal part in GBTB, and Hwanhee is an actual main vocal in a real (nugu) group. So I think it was the right call. 

A staff member asks Jang Yeo Joon if their team has “two suns,” and Yeo Joon is like, no, we only have one sun, and it’s Gunwook. 

Since Gunwook planned it all in advance, K-group decides all its parts quickly and is ready to start rehearsing. G-group decides to delegate a bit -- Chen Kuan Jui can learn the choreo while they finish figuring out the parts. 

So he gets comfortable and begins watching the choreo, and somehow, learns it, just by watching it, like some kind of savant, while stretching his legs to a full 180°. Then he’s able to teach the choreo to the rest of his team, so pretty soon G-group catches up to K.  Hwan Hee interviews, “Chen Kuan Jui is an OP [overpowered] character.” Yeah, strong agree on that. 

Gunwook thinks it would be “really fun” to beat G-group, so his team decides to do big strong movements in their choreo. Hwanhee openly admits, “I’m just Gunwook’s puppet.”

The Performance 

Episode 3, 2:04:14

The judges say they’re excited for both teams’ performances. Clearly, G-group is extra excited for them:

The audience is excited, too. 

The teams introduce themselves:

Hwanhee: “I’m the oldest but I act like the youngest.”

Gunwook: “I’m captain Maverick, Top Gun Wook.” He salutes, and his hand is shaking. 

Hong Keon Hee: “완전히, 굳건히, 왕건히, 홍건 히” (wanjeonhi, gudgeonhi, wang-geonhi, hong-keon hi), which is a play on words. It could be translated “completely, firmly, firmly, completely.” But also, the last three syllables are actually his name. Cute! 

Poor Jang Yeo Jun and Han Yu Seop don’t even get to introduce themselves. 

MNET never shows all six members of the G-group standing still together, but I was able to composite in a picture of Min with Microsoft Paint, and it came out pretty seamless, right? 

It’s almost as if Min got to perform on the stage with them! 

Zhang Hao: “My face is the best, my skills are the best, and my charisma is the best, Zhang Hao!”

Keita: “An all-rounder rapper is here, Keita!”

Wang Zi Hao: “I’m the dance Wang Zi Hao.”  (Wang means king) 

Matthew, while his soul leaves his body: “I love you. I want you. I’m Seok Matt-chu.” (Chu is a kiss sound.) 

Chen Kuan Jui and Min don’t get to introduce themselves, but it’s fine because the editors used the time to show us the judges laughing at Matthew’s joke and I guess that’s more important. 

Minhyun asks Zhang Hao about how their rehearsal went, and….

At 2:06:00, we see the groups in rehearsal. The judges ask Hwanhee about how they ended up facing off against this excellent G-group team, and Hwanhee says “I thought someone needed to compete with them,” which is a good answer, even if the judges don’t accept it. Gunwook admits that he “encouraged” Hwanhee, which is one way to describe what happened. 

The judges complement Keita on his excellent choice of team members, and rightfully so. 

The judges ask if anyone was unhappy with the part they got, and either pick up on Matthew’s discomfort, or get a producer message telling them to ask him about it. Matthew just acknowledges that he’s a bit disappointed with his part, but in a polite way. 

They sing the song, and they’re completely perfect. 

The main vocal judge addresses Chen Kuan Jui, saying “You never do it as you practiced. Not even once,” says and I think the translation was off? Like maybe it should have been something more like, “You don’t come across like someone who is just practicing”? But I don’t know. The judge is in fact complimenting him, as he concludes, “I loved your attitude of doing as if you were on stage.” 

Kuan Jui is so happy to be praised, he looks like he might cry. 

Maybe it’s the headband changing the shape of his face, or the emotion showing in his expression, but I feel like this is the best he’s looked all show, or at least, the most appealing. 

Then the teacher tells Matthew not to worry because his part shows off his charms, resolving that storyline. Oh no, there’s no storyline now.  If only some new drama would begin. 

Suddenly, the male judge brings up that he noticed that Min was doing a few lines that weren’t assigned to him. Turns out that Keita, the main rapper, had given Min a few of his lines, because Min’s part as sub-rapper was so small. You guys. Keita = good egg. We see a clip of it, and it’s Jennie’s part that goes, “Feelin' like a sinner, It's so fire with him I go boo, ooh,” and oh no, his pronunciation isn’t that good. To be fair, this is an early rehearsal and he certainly could still have worked on it.

The judges say that he can’t keep those lines -- to make the judging fair, they say. Which makes no sense. The teams are unbalanced in number as it is, 5 to 6. So why are you being precious about the line distribution? But they are, and at least this means that there’s a new drama.

Min is really heartbroken over losing those lines, and can’t stop himself from crying. The other trainees all kindly tell him that “everybody here understands how you feel.”

Zhang Hao and Chen Kuan Jui end up sitting with him for a bit on the couch. Min apologizes for being so greedy. You get the feeling he’s having a lot of trouble communicating in Korean, but he’s Thai, so it’s the closest thing they have to a shared language. 

Zhang Hao says, “We’re all greedy. We all tried to get the killing part.” Min says, in what must have been very broken Korean, “can I try for the killing part again?” I say it must have been very broken because Zhang Hao immediately replies, “You want to try for the killing part again?” which must have been just a confirmation that that is what Min said. Then Min starts to say “And if I don’t get the part this time, I’ll…” and Kuan Jui finishes for him, “I’ll understand.” 

If you just read the subtitles and don’t really think about it, you might think that they were encouraging him to do this, but once you realize they’re literally just trying to communicate, it makes more sense. Because, of course, they are not endorsing this plan, because they can’t change parts at this point -- it would throw the whole performance into chaos. They don’t say that, though -- they just tell him that they can’t do that, gently, and he doesn’t push too hard. And Zhang Hao says, “Even if your part is very short, let’s find the best way to show it.”  Surely, they can do that much, right? (Spoiler: Apparently they can't and they kind of don't.)

I really loved this conversation -- Hao is so empathetic and mature, with the right mix of firmness and gentleness, not giving Min false hope but also making him feel seen and understood. And Kuan Jui  does well, too. It’s just nice to see. 

At their dress rehearsal, the judges talk about how their eyes kept getting drawn to Min’s abs (he is wearing a cropped blazer), and add that Min’s singing part is mostly doubling, but somehow it ends up feeling like he has “so many parts.” Min seems happy hearing that. BTW, Min’s name looks cute in Korean: 민 

And what do you know? They’ve resolved all of this group’s storylines but one: Will they win or lose?

The performance starts, and their vocals are great, their rapping is great, their dancing is great, I mean, they’re great. There’s a part where Wang Zi Hao and Matthew harmonize and it sounds fantastic. They also double their vocals up here and there to give more power to them. I wish Matthew had helped his teammates more with their English pronunciation, since it’s one area that could be improved. Also, poor Min is literally behind someone most of the time. You really can barely see the poor guy. But overall, fantastic, basically no notes. The idea of drawing on their faces with bright red lipstick right at the end, as if they were scratching open their skin -- it sounds kind of dumb but it worked and I think it would have worked even more from a distance. Good job, team G!  

At 2:15:57, we flip over to K-team, and head into flashback mode. K-team is at dance rehearsal with the kindly LipJ and when they dance as a group, she compliments their exaggerated dance style. When it’s Hwanhee’s turn to dance almost by himself, he kind of just gives up, looking embarrassed. When he’s done, LipJ, acting like a human being instead of a literal demon who came to earth to terrorize young dancers, tells him it’s ok, she could tell he was just very nervous. Poor Hwanhee has been yelled at for his dancing a few too many times, and we are seeing the end result of a long line of psycho dance teachers -- a really talented singer and a sweet guy who get so scared when he dances that he basically can’t dance at all. It’s almost as if that’s not the best way to help someone improve. 

At the big group rehearsal where the trainees all gave feedback, Hwanhee is chosen as the trainee who needed the most work. Later on, Hwanhee apologizes to his team and says he’s going to really try his best. Gunwook says he’s going to help him more, and his other teammates encourage him. At dress rehearsal, we find out that he has added a big impressive ad lib at one point, but it just… doesn’t sound fantastic. He says his throat is in bad condition. I don’t know, maybe a lower note that you can really hit?

Anyway, at 2:20:40 they come out and it’s time for the performance to begin. Here's the link to the full cam.

They also look great. Overall, it’s really good, though it can’t beat Keita's team. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think that Gunwook is that great at rapping, as charismatic and charming as he is. Han Yu Seop sounded really nervous -- in fact, all of them sounded a bit shaky. Hwanhee’s voice is so powerful and his vocal color is so distinct -- I so wish he wasn’t a bit under the weather. His big ad lib was just a bit cringe for me. Oh, my heart breaks. This wasn’t a bad performance -- it just wasn’t excellent the way that G-group’s was. 

The voting totals come in, and...

Main Vocal K Lee Hwanhee  91 G Zhang Hao 197 

Sub Vocal 1 K Han Yoo Seop 5 G Wang Zi Hao  72

Sub Vocal 2 K Jang Yeo Joon 42 G Seok Matthew 121 

Main Rapper K Hong Keon Hee 60 G Keita (also killing part) 151

Sub Rapper 1  K Park Gunwook (also killing part)  158 G Chen Kuan Jui  33

Sub Rapper 2 G only: Min 12

G Group wins, 586 to 356.

I always feel bad for the trainees who get like 5 or 10 votes -- it has to hurt a lot. I couldn’t put myself through something like this.  But G team is so happy to win!

Yay!! They were so good and it’s nice to see G-team pick up a win. 

K-team is consoled by their friends.

In an interview, a staff member asks General Gunwook, “If you could go back in time, would you make the same choices?” And General Gunwook replies, “Yes. Even if I could go back in time, I’d still compete with the Kill This Love G-team." He begins to cry, and I’m reminded that as tall and mature as he looks and seems, he’s just an 18 year old kid. 

“I really… I knew our chance of winning was slim. Let’s meet again as a team. I’ll make sure we win next time. I’m sorry.” Aww, Gunwook. 잘 했어. (You did great.) 

And that brings us to the end of the Kill This Love review.

BOYS PLANET + EXO PLANET

seok matthew -> kim minseok wang zihao -> zhang yixing sung hanbin -> kim junmyeon lee hwanhee -> byun baekhyun park hanbin -> kim jongdae na kamden -> park chanyeol jay chang -> do kyungsoo lee seunghwan -> kim jongin ricky -> oh sehun

the way this group would've been so fucking powerful. (not my top nine personally, but damn...) gen z / fifth gen exo would've been truly something but i also can't imagine the group without my boy zhang hao, who lowkey gave me luhan vibes anyway.
