How come no one thought that a pink bunny in a Killer's video is odd is beyond me. But I have to admit they are building the suspense pretty good. Right now I am leaning toward Mr. Lee being connected to The Killing Vote more than Ji Hoon. Doesn't mean I have striked out Ji Hoon's name. But Professor was right, it's suspicious how Moo Chan is so closely connected to the case.
Another question I have is that who the boy from Professor's drawings is? The boy is in every drawing but we don't know anything about him. Also from where did Jin Soo recognize Mr Lee?

[ 김규빈 ] ONE & ONLY ꒰ K.GV x F!READER
Tumblr media
IN WHICH ✶ — Rumors about Y/n pursuing a Zerobaseone member backstage at music bank start floating around the media after she and ZB1 member, Kim Gyuvin are seen talking behind in one of the episodes of ‘Eunchaes Star Diary’. Some netizens believe it and some don’t, some hated her for touching his shoulder and some didn’t care. Y/n went live to debunk the rumors, saying she wasn’t interested in a relationship at the time. The thing was, the rumors were true. She secretly was pursing Kim Gyuvin, or at least she wanted to. Ever since she first saw him backstage at M Countdown when ‘Love Killa’ team got to perform she was starstruck. She saw him at the vending machine and wished him luck in ‘Boys Planet’. She actually never had watched an episode of the survival show at all, she said it would be too painful for her, but that was the night she started to watch and most importantly, vote for Kim Gyuvin.

Hello My Lovely!!!!
Top 5 BL Actors that Impressed you in 2022.
I hope you're day is amazing! 🌻💜
Hello lovely!!!!!!!!! Top 5 actors? Hmmm ok. The answers are descending BUT just know that the actual ranking is linear.
5. Bible Wichapas. The man outsold. It was his very first main role and he delivered a stellar performance. The decisions he made for his portrayal of Vegas were smart and the character left an impression on everyone. He ate and left no crumbs. He deserves every award right now.
Tumblr media
4. Peat Wasuthorn. Another rookie actor that tackled his main role perfectly. Peat made everyone fall in love with Sky. There were so many differing opinions about LITA but everyone voted Sky the best boy. Peat did an amazing job of showing Sky trauma, fears, and vulnerability. He too deserves all the awards.
Tumblr media
3. Kim Ji Woong. I've seen him play 2 completely different characters that felt like 2 completely different real people. 2 separate entities that happened to share the same face. I just really enjoyed his performances in both his series and I look forward to seeing more of him in 2023.
Tumblr media
2. Seng Wichai. My boy is a chameleon. He can do any character and make him loveable. I enjoyed him a Toh, I liked him as Tanthai, and I liked him as Pan. He's very talented and I really hope IdolFactory has more projects lined up for him.
Tumblr media
1. Prem Warut. His current performance as Team is blowing me away. I know Prem is a great actor, I've seen him in quite a few things but he is breathing LIFE into Team. He's grown as an actor since the first time he played Team and it shows and I also think he understands his character more now that this is his 3rd time playing him.

Boys Planet, Post Episode 8 Analysis: What Next for the Eliminated Trainees? 
Tumblr media
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. 
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
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)
Tumblr media
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!)

Park Hae Jin, Lim Ji Yeon Reveal Why ‘The Killing Vote’ Has No Romance
Tumblr media
Park Hae Jin and Lim Ji Yeon, the stars of ‘The Killing Vote’, share some secrets behind the thrilling K-drama based on a popular webtoon. If you are looking for a gripping K-drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you might want to check out ‘The Killing Vote’. The series, which is adapted from a webtoon of the same name, revolves around a mysterious masked man who forces people to vote on life-or-death situations.
Tumblr media
(Photo : SBS) The cast of ‘The Killing Vote’ includes Park Hae Jin, Lim Ji Yeon, and Park Sung Woong, who deliver stellar performances as their complex characters. In a recent interview with Allure Korea, Park Hae Jin and Lim Ji Yeon revealed some interesting facts about the show, such as the difference between the webtoon and the drama, and the reason why there is no romance between them.
How ‘The Killing Vote’ differs from the webtoon
One of the questions that the actors had to answer was how the K-drama version of ‘The Killing Vote’ differs from the original webtoon. Lim Ji Yeon, who plays Joo Hyun, the leader of a cybercrime group, said that she was advised by the writer not to read the webtoon. She explained that the drama has a different approach to the story and the characters. “I was told by the writer not to read it. The drama is very different from the webtoon. The characters are different, too.” Park Hae Jin, who plays Kim Moo Chan, a detective who is chasing after the masked man, said that he read the webtoon and noticed some major changes in the adaptation. He said that the drama focuses more on the characters’ emotions and motivations, while the webtoon is more action-oriented. “I read it. The drama is very different from the webtoon. The webtoon is more about showing what happens, but the drama is more about why it happens. The characters’ feelings are more important in the drama.” He also revealed that Lim Ji Yeon’s character has a bigger role in the drama than in the webtoon. He said that in the webtoon, Joo Hyun’s part was played by a male character. “Joo Hyun doesn’t get to play much of the bigger parts in the webtoon. It was done by a male character.”
Why there is no romance in ‘The Killing Vote’
Another question that fans of ‘The Killing Vote’ might have is whether there will be any romantic scenes between Park Hae Jin and Lim Ji Yeon. The two actors have shown great chemistry on screen, but their characters have not developed any romantic feelings for each other.
Tumblr media
(Photo : SBS) Lim Ji Yeon joked that there is no romance in ‘The Killing Vote’ because Park Hae Jin did not want it. Park Hae Jin quickly denied this and explained that romance would not fit well with the genre and theme of the show. “It’s not like I didn’t want it. Because of the specific genre of our show, if there is a romance in it, it feels like it’s interrupting.” He added that ‘The Killing Vote’ is mainly about revenge and mystery, and that romance would be unnecessary and distracting. “The show is about revenge and finding out who Gaetal (the masked man) is. Romance is not needed for that.”
How ‘The Killing Vote’ affects their emotions
Park Hae Jin and Lim Ji Yeon also shared how their roles in ‘The Killing Vote’ affect their emotions. They said that playing intense and dark characters can be challenging and exhausting. https://youtu.be/PFqlFG0Bm9c Lim Ji Yeon said that she felt gloomy after portraying some of her previous characters, such as Park Yeon Jin in ‘The Glory’ and Lee Eun Soo in ‘Lies Hidden in My Garden’. She said that she wanted to play a character who is more similar to her real personality. “It was really hard, and I still feel gloomy. I am not that kind of person, but I would become dark.” Park Hae Jin said that he felt stressed after filming some scenes in ‘The Killing Vote’. He said that he tried to relieve his stress by listening to music or talking to his friends. “There were some scenes that were really hard to film. I felt stressed after filming them. I tried to listen to music or talk to someone to relax.”
What fans can expect from ‘The Killing Vote’
‘The Killing Vote’ has been receiving positive feedback from viewers for its suspenseful plot and impressive acting. The show has also been praised for its social commentary on issues such as justice, morality, and democracy.

The group’s success story begins from ‘BOYS PLANET’, where out of 98 contestants, only the top nine with the highest number of votes could win the chance to debut as a new boy group. The nine members who came out on top are: SUNG HAN BIN, KIM JI WOONG, ZHANG HAO, SEOK MATTHEW, KIM TAE RAE, RICKY, KIM GYU VIN, PARK GUN WOOK, HAN YU JIN.
Tumblr media
ZEROBASEONE made their official debut with the first mini album “YOUTH IN THE SHADE” in July 2023, just three months after the conclusion of ‘BOYS PLANET’. The release was monumental, it achieved a feat of 780,000 stock pre-orders, and surpassed 1.08 million shortly after, setting the record of having the highest number of stock pre-orders ever in K-pop history. Subsequently, the album was certified double million by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA), setting another record as the first K-pop debut album in history to sell more than 2 million copies.
Their latest release in May of this year, third mini album “You had me at HELLO” (2024), was also well-received by fans. It amassed over 1 million in album sales on the first day of its release, and ranked first on multiple South Korean and Japanese music charts. Additionally, the title track “Feel the POP” (2024) earned the group three music show wins on major South Korean TV broadcast channels.
With multinational members who speak various languages, ZEROBASEONE has managed to grow a strong and dedicated global fanbase in just a short amount of time. They have received distinguished awards such as Best New Artist at the 2023 Melon Music Awards and Rookie of the Year at both the 2024 Golden Disc Awards as well as the 2024 Seoul Music Awards, proving their immense influence as K-pop’s “5th Generation Icons”.
Just a year into their debut, ZEROBASEONE will kick off their highly anticipated first concert tour in hopes of connecting with more ZEROSE around the globe. Starting with three nights in Seoul’s KSPO DOME from 20-22 September, ZEROBASEONE will then head to Singapore for the first international stop.

After watching Episode 4, I have a theory. I think the one to actually kill the Professor's daughter was Mr. Lee. Assembly Woman Min probably covered up all crimes of her son by making her husband's driver's son the scapegoat. Since the driver's son was intellectually disabled and Assembly Woman Min paid a lot of money, he would not get sentenced. So to say, I think Professor may have killed the wrong person.

PRODUCE 101 Episode 10 – Feelings, Frustration and Fear
I personally think it’s kinda funny that everyone seems to blame Mnet or other trainees who got through the last elimination (especially Joo Hak Nyeon), just because one or more of their biases couldn’t get into the Top 20.  My first bias of the second season was Noh Tae Hyun, obviously because of his sick skills. But guess who got eliminated yesterday?
Tumblr media
With the show going on and on, I’ve learned to love more trainees of course, and Tae Hyun didn’t become my one and only favorite. However, it still hurts to see him go, especially because his Ardor & Able and Hotshot buddy Ha Sung Woon surprisingly placed third.
Tumblr media
Well, but this doesn’t give me or anyone else the right to let out my frustration on other Produce 101 trainees, or even Mnet. I know that Mnet is perfectly capable of creating drama with particular editing and not revealing certain footage. However, it is still not Mnet to blame if your favorite trainee didn’t make it. Actually, no one should be blamed. Produce 101 Season 2 is not like Season 1, when the show focused on a completely different audience. Back then, fans of the program were mostly over 20 years old, and obviously male. But with Season 2 everything turned out so differently. 
Park Ji Hoon's extreme popularity is without a doubt proof that the show now focuses on an audience of girls in their teens – or maybe even younger. I am in my late twenties, and to be honest, for me it is quite hard to relate to most of these girls’ passion about this certain trainee.
Tumblr media
He’s cute, and everything. But I’m way too old to feel connected to this kid. Anyway, I understand that he is popular, since the majority of Produce 101′s audience prefers young and cute boys like him. But it is not Ji Hoon who received a lot of hatred comments yesterday. It is Joo Hak Nyeon who has been the thorn in everyone’s side.
Tumblr media
He received a lot of criticism in the last episode for desperately wanting the center position of the “Open” team instead of Takada Kenta. Unfortunately, his skills weren’t good enough, so the team was forced to switch the center position to Kim Yong Guk. Even after passing the center position, he still didn’t give up completely, and started to gain a lot of negative attention. 
There was a lot of the usual Mnet drama involved, and Hak Nyeon received of course a lot of hatred for his behavior – which probably caused him to drop 11 ranks. That’s huge, but he still got into the Top 20. Well, neither Takada Kenta nor Kim Yong Guk made it. And that’s what so many are upset about.
Tumblr media
Several other popular trainees got eliminated as well like Lee Eui Woong, Kwon Hyun Bin, Kim Sang Kyun and also one of my favorites Park Woo Dam (who ranked 35th, which means last).
Tumblr media
So, who should I blame now? Should I blame Mnet for its script and editing? Should I blame Hak Nyeon for being “greedy” or “desperate”? Should I blame every single other trainee that got into Produce 101′s final episode? Or should I blame Korean fan girls for voting for the “wrong” trainees? There is no one to blame. That’s a survival program, guys. It means that hearts get broken, and some of your biases are not able to make it. 
Last year my ultimate bias of Produce 101 was Cube’s Jeon So Yeon. She was in my opinion probably one of the most talented and hard-working girls out there. But talent and ambition wasn’t enough to get her into IOI.
Tumblr media
Produce 101 is all about popularity – like almost every single variety show worldwide. If you are good looking, if you are charming, if you are funny – people will love you. I am not saying that it doesn’t matter how talented you are. But if people like you, your chances of winning are always higher. And the same goes for Produce 101 Season 2. 
Tae Hyun was definitely the best dancer, but he didn’t make it. And that’s okay, because his journey as a trainee or idol isn’t over yet. Yoon Ji Sung made it, although he isn’t as talented as other trainees. And that’s also okay, because he is loved by almost everyone.
Tumblr media
All those who blame others should try to see things from a different perspective. Blaming other trainees, the audience or Mnet doesn’t bring your bias back. Just try to focus on your favorites who are still left, and support them as much as possible. And if you still can’t get over the fact that your biases get eliminated one after another, then don’t watch the show. You won’t find fairness in a survival program. It isn’t meant for you if you can’t handle it. 
There’s only one week of Produce 101′s magic left – and it already breaks my heart to know that I won’t be able to enjoy the weekly company of those boys any longer. So let’s end those wonderful eleven weeks with good emotions, even if you fear to see your favorite trainee lose. 
Oh, and I want to end this motherly speech with.. FUCK!! YES!! DANIEL PLACED NUMBER 1!! HOLY SHIT! I AM THE HAPPIEST FAN GIRL EVER! YES! YOU SEXY BEAST DESERVE IT!
