Ty for your thoughts always cool to see your opinions. Nothing can surpass 25-21 it was so good. And this final stage will be interesting seeing as its 60% of the points and wjsn already revealed their legend stage and yet they still won the show huh

I'm a multi-stan. I always have a favorite group which doesn't often change but there are so many great groups that I'm a big fan of. That's one of the reasons I like kpop. Before getting fully into kpop I would get really into one artist at a time for a few months but then I'd run out of content and new music and eventually lose interest. With kpop I can get invested in a group when they're promoting and when they finish another group I follow will have a comeback and focus on them for a while. This has kept me interested in kpop for the past 5+ years. If there's ever a gap in comebacks I will either binge a bunch of reactions to one of my favorite groups or start getting into a new group. 25-21 was so good. I now watch anything Bona's in but they haven't been as good as 25-21. I love how everyone's pretending like she's an actual athlete on the national team. Up until now WJSN had been performing without their center and most popular member and they were already in second place behind Hyolin. Hyolin had to prepare for 3 performances by herself. Mnet in Q1 let Eunji participate for Park Bom so that she didn't have to do everything at the same time but here they made a rule saying anyone is allowed to do all of the performances if they want as if anyone but Hyolin would actually want to. With WJSN the members who weren't a part of the vocal and dance units were the ones who took the aerialist lessons since the others were busy preparing for their second stages. I liked Kepler's stage but it would have been better if they had done one of their own songs or maybe one of the originals from gp999. The vocals aren't on Girls Generation's level and the dance break the members just stood still in the back while the dancers killed it. Taeyeon's only comment was an acknowledgement of the fact that they did indeed cover her group's song. I still liked it more than Wadada and Pool Party. Viviz's Bop Bop is a good song but yeah it's nothing like their most recent comebacks. Their first few releases are more similar to Bop Bop. I love how they added the high kick from glass bead in there. I also thought this was their best performance although I could see how many people would still prefer the nostalgia of Rough. Yes, Pantomime is WJSN's Legend Stage. They projected the images onto the curtain and they turned the lights on and off behind the curtain to make the members appear/disappear. I agree that the CGI quality wasn't the best but I'm not sure how good of a resolution you can get when your projecting the image over such a large curtain. Pantomime is not one of my favorite songs of theirs but it was interesting enough and it gave them the opportunity to make an incredible performance. In regards to how the points work on the show the first two rounds were worth 10k each. The third round is worth a total of 20k points so the same as the first two rounds combined. The live final is worth 60k considering a bunch of different categories. So the first 9 episodes of the show are 40% of the points and the last episode is worth 60%. So even though Hyolin is currently in the lead everything could change in the live final. I just got caught up with your Queendom reactions. I've enjoyed them all very much. Keep up the good work!

Either way it was sick. The best usage of the vfx on the screen alongside choreo ive seen so far

the graphics for Pantomime in the beginning were just projected onto the sheet the entire time (it's why it looked a little hazy bc the sheet was slightly transparent so you could see the members). I don't THINK it was from behind.....it was probably from up high in front

Bona has ALWAYS been the most popular member (for obvi reasons) and EVERYONE in korea watched 25 21. Her popularity probably is still larger then every other member combined (a bit of hyperbole). I just checked....on IG she has like 2.2m followers.....the next highest member (Seola) has 775K (basically triple the amount). Even her friends are next level (her bestie IRL is Blackpink Jisoo)

Edward Lee

I LOVE Mnet in episode PPL segments.....they're SO BAD and korea has just accepted that fake acting style

Edward Lee

Whoa wtf that's actually so hilarious lol

Yeob

ugh....that tall guy during the Kepler fan surprise with the glasses and white tshirt and black pants who was doing the "I didn't know!" hands up pose........I can't STAND him. He's basically an MNET audience fill in actor and has been in almost every single MNET competition show always pretending to be a 'superfan' (during the first round performance of VIVIZ he was one of the fans who was "crying" bc it was so emotional they were doing GFRIEND) . If you watch enough of these variety shows.....you start to notice when tv shows do audience shots that it's always the SAME people regardless of the show Even america does this for daytime shows like the Price is Right and morning talk show audiences
