If you have a time you can react to camp zerobase one(3 ep verity show), kstar next door ep 1 & 2, they are so good. Zb1 is full vocal grp, their live vocals are amazing specially hao & taerae have such a powerful solid vocals & hanbin has beautiful lighter vocal tone ❤️

One/two more for the list on variety - Halmyungsoo's YT show.. I think another (*) from me: [Episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oq5Av2Vleg&t=229s&ab_channel=%ED%95%A0%EB%AA%85%EC%88%98] [Episode 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNszrwyKUpg&ab_channel=%ED%95%A0%EB%AA%85%EC%88%98]

Thank you. I think you're right, I just couldn't find a good fancam. It also appears that the one you linked to has been removed/blocked (mine have as well).

Danny

I hope you get a chance to watch a video for their new song In Bloom. ☺️

You really should watch this version of hot summer and jelly pop, they're so talented and this is not lipsync : https://youtu.be/wrjAftqGpqM

I like the zb1 version of hot summer better in the fancon than in their debut show so i'm also adding the link for hot summer fancon vers : https://youtu.be/wrjAftqGpqM

I hope you can read all of this even if it's long. I was so looking forward to seeing your reaction. Here are my thoughts on Boys Planet, particularly the finale and the group that has now debuted with the song "in bloom". Firstly, you weren't really shocked probably because you weren't really paying attention to the rankings and didn't follow the episodes when it was happening. Yujin debuting in 9th place is quite surprising because, as you can hear, the fans in the room were already shouting out his name when 4th place was announced. A lot of people thought he would be 3rd. For Jiwoong personally, I wasn't too surprised but it's true that I was expecting a higher ranking. Gyuvin, on the other hand, wasn't very popular internationally, even though he's really adorable, but in Korea people liked him a lot, and he was always in the top 9, so his position isn't surprising. For Taerae I wasn't expecting it despite his popularity, it's true that personally I haven't paid much attention to Taerae but currently in zerobaseone, I've become very attached to him and he's so sweet. The 5th place is the one that surprised me the most, I really wanted Gunwook to debut but he was never in the top 9 and he suddenly got the 5th place... A very high rank. I was also very surprised for Ricky, he was only once in the top 9 during the eliminations but it's true that Ricky brought a lot of visibility to Boys Planet thanks to his "young and rich, tall and handsome", from there a lot of people supported him so even despite the difficulties he encountered in training he still got 4th place. For third place I was also really surprised, Matthew had received a lot of hate and had dropped to 9th place so to see him ranked so high is really incredible but actually now that I think about it it's not surprising given the number of fans he has. Finally Zhang Hao and Sung Hanbin. I personally wanted Hanbin to keep first place because I've liked Hanbin a lot since the first episode and seeing him keep it for so long despite all the hatred and hardship made me get attached to the rank but I'm so proud of him and Zhang Hao that when I think about it it doesn't really matter. Hanbin, even in the finale ep, was still first place in Korea despite being in second place with all the votes, Korea really loves him and I'm touched to see his impact, while internationally way more than in Korea, lot of people had thrown hate at him : fatphobia, homophobia (after seeing his dance videos), and even more so after taking the main vocal part of hot summer. People underestimated his vocals. Zhang Hao had also received hate after his old posts were discovered, but that had been a while ago. Unjustified and pointless hatred. Zhang Hao still proudly climbed to the top spot. I think it's particularly because in Girls planet, there were three centers Dayeon, Yurina, Xiaoting: Yurina and Xiaoting often exchanged first place during the eliminations and were really the most popular duo, they were best friends but suddenly in the final ep, Yurina didn't debut with Xiaoting despite often taking second or first place and Xiaoting dropped to ninth place which was very shocking. Fans suspected Mnet of manipulating the votes because Xiaoting was Chinese etc... So Zhang Hao's fans were desperate to avoid another surprise. His fans thought he wouldn't debut and that, like in Girls Planet... Only one center was going to debut and it would be Hanbin, not Hao. They were particularly scared because we were all very attached to the Haobin duo, so their separation would have been horrible. Hao's fans invented that Hao was currently in 13th place, so a lot of people panicked. What's more, Hao was gaining in popularity with each episode, especially after Tomboy. In any case, ZB1 is now like a family. They have very strong bonds and it shows. Matthew and Hanbin the bestie, debuted together, the Yuehuaz (those from the Yuehua agency : Ricky, Yujin, Hao, Gyuvin) are together, Jiwoong has finally found his place after going through hell in his past and Haobin are also closer than ever. However, fans suspect that Wakeone is hiding this duo because of certain events. Hanbin calls Hao "the eternal other half of his soul" and is so encouraging towards Hao, he's extremely proud of him and Hao is constantly glued to Hanbin, to the point where it almost seems like they can't be separated, their friendship is really beautiful. Zhang Hao is our proud center of ZB1 and Sung Hanbin has been chosen as the leader of ZB1... Hanbin really is the perfect choice for this position. Throughout boys planet, people who knew him before were talking about him and saying what a good person he is and how he is extremely attentive to all the members. I think it would be great to watch Camp ZEROBASEONE because there are only 3 episodes and it's really funny, in this show you get to see their personalities really well. There's also the tingle interview which is a video with Haobin which is extremely adorable but it's not that important, it would just be fun to watch together. AH also, you talked about the lipsync in the performances hot summer and jelly pop, I advise you to look at the ZB1 versions of these performances, the ones that were performed at FANCON, their own concert. If you search for "Hot summer fancon" and "Jelly Pop fancon" you'll find the performances, this time they're all singing live. Taerae does the high note in Jelly pop that Lee Hoe Taek used to do and Hanbin does the high note that he used to do in Hot summer, it's very impressive and you can see that they would have been 100% capable of doing it live in boys planet.

renabinnie

oh and btw the 1st place=solo song in the debut album+center position

zhooty

I'm excited for your future zb1 reactions

zhooty

well as a zhang hao fan i thought he was out of top9 honestly(when interim ranking showed that hanbin dropped to 3rd place the whole rosinville were in trenches, we convinced themselves that he was filler pick and nugu). and plus he's foreigner he's CHINESE, so it wouldn't be surprising if he was gonna rigged out too. and many ppl at that time thought that yujin is gonna be the candidate for top1(he's one of the most popular members in korea), not hao, so it was shocking. Zhang Hao made history, gagged the mnet and korean industry. 1pick system is fr no joke, the most shocking reveals was:ricky(he's chinese too), gunwook and hao.

zhooty

He really did not

levolly

I was reading somewhere that they edited the records in later, they were singing live at the time of the event. Correct me if this is incorrect.

Boys Planet Contestants Some info on those that didn't get to debut through the show, in case you're interested. Sorry, it's not everyone.. can't keep up with 98 people lol • Evvne: Some companies have gotten together to form a group of 7 of the eliminated contestants - from WakeOne (Park Hanbin, Park Jihoo, Mun Junghyun, Lee Jeonghyeon), from YueHua (Ji Yunseo, Yoo Seungeon) and Keita. The debut date seems to be 18th September and will be managed by Jellyfish Entertainment (ZB1 Gunwook's company). [IG: https://www.instagram.com/evnne_official/?hl=en] - Also, Keita released a song with one of the BP mentors who really liked him during the show [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okrq_EHU5Ps&ab_channel=H1GHRMUSIC]. Not my favourite song, but I'm glad he had the opportunity. • TIOT: The Redstart ENM trainees, incl. Kim Minseoung, Kum Junhyeon, Hong Keonhee, Choi Woojin. They'll have a pre-debut release on 23rd August and have been putting out content consistently since BP ended on the company social channels. [YT: https://www.youtube.com/@TIOT_NOW/videos] [IG: https://www.instagram.com/tiot_now/] • TOZ (Anthony, Takuto, Yuto & Haruto): This is super recent news, but the four of them will be debuting together in Japan, this autumn! [https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/15qfpw5/230814_anthonny_takuto_yuto_and_haruto_will_be/] • NINE.i: They were an existing group, but some of the members (Seowon, Winnie, Jiho) wend on the show. I think you really liked Seowon, so... They had a comeback recently [https://www.youtube.com/@NINEiOFFICIAL/videos] • Wang Zihao: Literally just debuted as a soloist under the name Le'V [YT: https://www.youtube.com/@ChromosomeEntertainmentGroup/videos] [IG: https://www.instagram.com/le_vtime/?hl=en] • Ollie: He will be participating in yet another survival show (in China) called Asia Super Young and seems to be one of the more popular contestants on. The show premieres in September. The show has a YT channel, but I'm not sure where and if we'd be able to watch full episodes, much less if they'd be translated.. Though I'm thinking probably yes? [https://www.youtube.com/@ASIASUPERYOUNG/videos] • Hui (Lee Hoetaek): He's having a Japanese comeback with his group Pentagon on 30th August and has been on a few shows/special stages performing. [https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/15echo3/230731_pentagon_lee_hoetaekhui_to_make_a_japan/] [YT: https://www.youtube.com/@CUBE_PTG] • Jay and Jongwoo: They've had quite a few fan meetings together or on the same days all over (e.g. Japan, Thailand, etc.).. Apparently, they hinted at debuting together at their most recent Japan fan meeting... tbh, the pairing has been really popular, with ppl asking them to debut together (incl. Na Kamden)... I also really wanted these three to be in the debut group so... [https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/15up508/230818_jay_and_yoon_jongwoo_hint_at_debuting/] Both of them have YT channels, IG and TikTok. - Jay's YT channel: He posts song covers and such, incl. a BP medley and a Bruno Mars medley which got super popular [https://www.youtube.com/@JayChang63/videos] - Jongwoo's YT: He posts all kinds of vlogs, some even have subs... and also did a super high-budget performance vid with some BP trainees in it (first video on the channel).. I think he's so impressive how he is/was an independent trainee and manages all this stuff seemingly mostly himself [https://www.youtube.com/@BELLRAINSTORY/videos] • Wumuti, Chen Jianyu, Lee Seunghwan: I don't think there are any specific rumours about these three, but they were hanging out together a lot, even have a few vlogs on Wumuti's YT channel and a photoshoot for a magazine... Personally, I think they might all debut as soloists, though I wouldn't be that surprised if they debuted together... I personally wanted to see Wumuti and Seunghwan in my version of the BP debut line up, so would be happy as long as they get to perform. - Wumuti Socials: Besides vlogs, he also has a couple of performances, incl. Antifragile cover (Wumuti-ti-ti-ti-ti) and a Butterfly cover with Chen Kuan Rui (the ballet/Chinese dance trainee that you like, frs with Hao) [https://www.youtube.com/@wumuti-ti/videos] [IG: https://www.instagram.com/wumutit/?hl=en] - Seunghwan Socials: [YT: https://www.youtube.com/@im_lee__on1ee/videos] [IG: https://www.instagram.com/im_lee__onlee/?hl=en] - Jianyu Socials: [IG: https://www.instagram.com/jianyu_91/?hl=en] - Photoshoot [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYamAPFyJjs&ab_channel=THESTARMAGAZINE] • Cha Woongki : I know you really liked him, so quick update... He's having some fan meetings (one in Taipei incoming) and is quite present on Insta. I think he may start doubling into variety shows or start a YT channel while still pursuing an idol career, tho that's just speculation. [IG: https://www.instagram.com/chawoongki/?hl=en] [https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/15ukmek/230818_cha_woongki_2023_woongkis_world_travel_in/] • Chen Kuan Rui: He disappeared from socials recently and deleted all his posts, which in the idol world means he's been scouted by a company and is currently preparing/training for a potential debut. He was quite active visiting other trainee's fan meets and doing dance challenges.. I really hope he debut's soon, his dance is magical. [YT Butterfly Cover with Wumuti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCu6B_3SGck&ab_channel=Wumuti] • Hiroto: He seems likely to debut in a group with trainees from his company RBW, he also had a pretty big joint fan meeting with Wang Zihao in Japan.. they sold out a massive space and added a day of meetings. [https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/153prrs/230719_rbw_boys_including_hiroto_are_rumored_to/] A lot of the trainees kept in touch the whole time and even had fan meetings, guesting for each other, as well as doing dance challenges on their socials. There's more info on those on BoysPlanet's sub-Reddit if interested. Also, there were some BP contestants who went to watch ZB1's recent fancon, it was really cute... Some links below: • Kum Junhyeon & Gunwook [https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/15smb2p/230816_choreographer_bico_instagram_update_with/] •[https://www.reddit.com/r/BoysPlanet/comments/15rsqrc/230815_junhyeons_reaction_to_gunwooks_daseotsal/] • [https://twitter.com/kammynax/status/1691387531005480961] • Compilation of attendees [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9w0hE5m5FmU] Thanks for suffering through yet another mile long post. Goodnight!

Danny

I watched it all. Thanks again for spending the time! The boys were all great, but we all know how torturous it was to watch sometimes (esp. elimination eps). Apologies for the length of my next post(s) but I hope they are helpful... and I'm also sooo excited about this group, and the BP boys in general. P.S. I actually had written a super long post about the group chemistry, and even started going on about each member, but midway I though it was too much. So focusing now on truly what I wanted to share: content. ZB1 Own Content To Watch: • Episode 13 (Viki) - commentary on the BP and introductions. Some real funny moments (e.g. 'Sorry I forgot...' , 'I've got Jiwoong hyung now...') • Camp ZEROBASEONE (Viki)- pre-debut show, premise is they went away as a new group to build teamwork, in the meantime doing part-time jobs and missions... • Ze_Folder (YouTube) - they choose a leader and play some fun games... really funny moments, esp. when they were choosing Agility Director and Life of the Party (ep. 2). - Episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW4n5dOrGJo&ab_channel=ZEROBASEONE - Episode 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAlHwVBdowI&t=430s&ab_channel=ZEROBASEONE They also have behind the scenes content on YouTube called Ze_pisode, but I think that'll be a bit much to keep up with. Performances & Music: • Debut Album on Spotify - I think all the songs are quite nice to listen to, though I'd say they're not necessarily the type of songs I personally play on a daily basis... I did like SKZ for their music first, so I think you can understand where my taste is a bit different from what they put out... Nonetheless, they are still charting on Melon and sold 1.8m+ albums (THE highest EVER for a debut album) so... :D My personal favourites are New Kidz on the Block (they actually performed this one a lot, I love it), And I and Our Season [https://open.spotify.com/album/7fV7RChHagCcKRnAaDRXuX] • Debut Showcase (Viki) - I'll link to the performances as the show is not available on YT, but you should be able to watch on Viki or Viu, etc. All live singing, so you'll be pleased. - Back to Zerobase (into) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCRSWzC1-6c&ab_channel=MnetK-POP] - In Bloom (title) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAXsVKqA_TQ&ab_channel=MnetK-POP] - New Kidz on the Block [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNIBN-9679I&ab_channel=MnetK-POP] - Say My Name (acoustic, ZB1 version) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNeiNQnvUmQ&ab_channel=MnetK-POP] - Hot Summer (ZB1 version) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQjQvGP68zM&ab_channel=MnetK-POP] • Fancon - They recently had a fan concert at the same place they had the last BP episode... It was paid-for content, so I'm just going to share the performances. The camera work was pretty awful tbh.. and these are either fan recordings or fancams, so I'll only link songs we've not seen performed before. - Jelly Pop (ZB1 version, remix) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QaY5gQCtOg&ab_channel=wsspzb1] - Our Season [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYd_nS0KwEY&ab_channel=wsspzb1] • Music Shows & Others - a list of music show performances, not all as there are quite a few.. - And I (The Show) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl84H8t4Ixs&ab_channel=THEK-POP] - And I (special stage) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLy2ZS6ASXs&ab_channel=KPOPJAMM] - In Bloom (Mcountdown Debut) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyJM-vhwrhg&ab_channel=MnetK-POP] - New Kidz on the Block (Mcoundown Debut) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsJnjpErsjU&ab_channel=MnetK-POP] - In Bloom (Music Core) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXgOTWSnc_w&ab_channel=MBCkpop] Variety Content & Appearances: I'll only share a few - they really were churning out content like no other around their debut... and even now. I'll mark my favs with (*) because I think they're really fun to watch, even just for yourself and not filming. (*) 4 Cut Live (YT) - This is honestly hilarious. The premise is they are schoolmates (so talk informally to each other, which is why the dynamic with Jiwoong and the rest is so funny) and trying to get in a camera shot doing specific poses. Whoever fails dresses up in a fun character costume (some amazing ones). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9IcllvU-og&t=64s&ab_channel=1theKOriginals-%EC%9B%90%EB%8D%94%EC%BC%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%98%A4%EB%A6%AC%EC%A7%80%EB%84%90] (*) K-star Next Door (YT) - I love this show generally, SKZ were also on a couple of times. They split the group into two and had two episodes, both are really fun! [Ep. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnzTIoSNexY&t=364s&ab_channel=%EB%94%94%EA%B8%80%3ADiggle] [Ep. 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Jtrzvuhy0&t=740s&ab_channel=%EB%94%94%EA%B8%80%3ADiggle] (*) Idol Human Theatre (YT) - I really like this show as well, I've watched quite a few eps. SKZ have been on this one a lot, too. Again, they are all hilarious, some amazing fandom moments - context for smth that happened in the ep. when you say 'hunting' in English in Korea, it means specifically hooking up/picking up girls... In Canada, people wear bright orange clothes and hats when going hunting (for real, not the SK meaning)... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvVG7eWwKt0&ab_channel=%EC%95%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%8F%8C%EC%9D%B8%EA%B0%84%EA%B7%B9%EC%9E%A5] • Four of them (Yujin, Gyuvin, Taerae, Ricky) went on the show of one of their BP mentors and had a lot to say [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv2h7PYhcTQ&ab_channel=M2] • Amazing Saturday - the episode is not on YT, but should be on one of the streaming or fan platforms (e.g. Viki, Viu, tvN)... It's a show with a pretty big ensemble of hosts so they had Hanbin, Jiwoong and Matthew only for the first part, and then the whole group for the second. The premise is that they work together to guess song lyrics to win food/snacks. I'll put the teaser here because it's fun... I think you'd appreciate it lol [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoWazOJLxl8&ab_channel=%EB%86%80%EB%9D%BC%EC%9A%B4%ED%86%A0%EC%9A%94%EC%9D%BCAmazingSaturday] • Weekly Idol (YT) - pretty sure most idols go there at least once. Some fun segments, mostly answering fan requests [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg-ujr4zkWc&t=1s&ab_channel=KOCOWATV] Radio: They've been on a few radio shows, but I'll link just my two favs... I think it's easy enough to find the others and ZB1 Subs on YT actually have graciously translated them all, along with a lot of other content. • Idol Radio with hosts ATEEZ Hongjoon and Yunho - I really liked the dynamic with the ATEEZ members (Gyuvin is a big fanboy). My fav moments were the short performance of BP songs and them turning to the person next to them to give them a compliment or nice message ('Will you allow it...' ^^). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33xqDInsgmY&list=WL&index=102&ab_channel=ZB1Subs] • GOT7 Youngjae's show - Again, fun dynamics... Hao is a huge GOT7 fan and they got to sing together a bit... also, love that hey got Youngjae flustered asking him to say I love you to them lol [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tznCPXwLOlo&ab_channel=ZB1Subs] • Cultwo Show - the show was okay, but I particularly like their live singing here, so I'm going to link that.. I think ZB1 Subs have the full show translated if you're interested. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z0s2O048-o&ab_channel=SBSRadio%EC%97%90%EB%9D%BC%EC%98%A4] Fancams & Other Fun Content: These are some short watches that I really enjoy, lots of moments between members and performance stuff... Sorry, it may a bit a little biased as I do have some that I enjoy a bit more... even though I try my best to be neutral. • Funny Moments Compilation (one of many) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpyToR6j2LE&ab_channel=jebiwonies] • In Bloom Relay (hilarious and cute) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL_Xho-q280&ab_channel=M2] • ZB1 duo dynamics (several parts.. also, 3 weeks ago is already old for this group lol) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2myaBVbAgg&t=1s&ab_channel=tangee] • Taerae & Matt [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20yD66gkN74&ab_channel=jebiwonies] • More member dynamics [https://twitter.com/itohoon/status/1691895594871128513] • [https://twitter.com/kamtthewz/status/1686934151293812736] • Gyuvin, the glue of ZB1 [https://twitter.com/amazingyuvin/status/1654406978297364480] • Matthew In Bloom fancam [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhTya_ioiZQ&ab_channel=MBCkpop] • Matthew NOTB fancam [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXTcpTAq7Wc&list=WL&index=74&ab_channel=M2] Sorry, there's a lot of Matthew, but he's just my favourite kind of performer on stage... he always looks so happy to sing and dance. Also, just wanted to add a quick note about the group in general... there are so many pairs and moments it's just insane how much chemistry they have as a 1-month-old group... They all get along so well and it's clear they really like each other. Personally, I think Gyuvin and Matthew are like the glue of the group... they're both super touchy, sincere and loving... I didn't pay much attention to Gyuvin on the show, but starting from that last episode speech - I've just really been appreciating him for being part of ZB1. Also, copying in some of what I wrote before I decided to double back and delete: • Group Chemistry: I kind of didn't expect them to really be too close or have a lot of chemistry from the start... Yes, they spent a few months really living and working closely, but even groups that have worked together for years are not always close... But boy was I wrong... I was sooo surprised!! Then I thought about it again and realised: - 4 people trained together for a long time as they are all from Yuehua Entertainment (Hao, Gyuvin, Yujin and Ricky)... They all seem close, but Gyuvin literally thinks Yujin is his son :D and has a really funny 'Tom & Jerry' relationship with Ricky... they constantly tease each other, but also seem to really appreciate each other. - Matthew and Hanbin trained together, but also remained really close when they were in different companies - taking trips together, Matthew visiting Hanbin's house often, they also talk about being real family in some of their variety/fansigns... and they honestly seem to be taking the statement to heart with Matthew's uncle holding an event at Hanbin's mom's cafe, etc. - Matthew and Jiwoong really became close during the show, esp. after that little incident with Say My Name... they were/are actually one of the bigger ships as well (Mattwoong/Ppusamz). - Taerae used to have jam sessions at the dorm it seems, where Yujin and Gunwook were frequent appearances.. I think Gyuvin as well. - Matthew and Hao worked together since the first episodes, but they both also got very close with Keita.. even now they seem to keep in touch. So they got close because of being in G-group and also apparently seem to share a taste in friends haha. - Jiwoong, the oldest, seems to have a really tight relationship with Yujin, who is the youngest in the group. He also said he is a bit more attentive to Gyuvin and Matthew who were in the same team for Love Killa. - Taerae and Matthew are the same age, which is a big deal in terms of relations and friendship in Korea, and they have really gone from 0 to 100... From saying they're a bit weird with each other in the beginning, to literally saying they're best friends now lol - Haobin are Haobin, don't think I need to say anything more. Anyway, thank you for bearing with. I'm going to post some stuff about the rest of BP.

Danny

I hope you're having a relaxing time away from recording and such! Just about to watch this and was already planning my essay-long post with comments and links... but had to come here first and say - I can't believe this is almost 4 hours long lol (I guess I didn't realize at the time) You're a champion! Thanks for keeping me/us company in watching this again... I've been following ZB1 the whole time and even though it's just been a few months, it already feels sort of nostalgic haha

Danny

Excited for you to watch ep 13 and Camp ZeroBaseOne! These were their content leading to their debut! <3

Chan Chowder

I'm not 100 percent sure but I think Hanbin and Matthew's parents know each other since they've been friends since before BP and Hanbin's mom even held a fan event for Matthew on her cafe. I'm so Matthew and Hanbin achieved their dreams and were able to debut together.

Chan Chowder

I think you're forgetting Hao is chinese so it makes sense he wasn't expecting to be a candidate and was genuinely surprised. For context chn trainees or foreign are usually paid dust in these shows Xiaoting of girls planet consistently ranked 1st only to barely make the group at nine. There's more nuance to be held.

LILLIY Sandrea

Also SKZ mothers are good friends and have each others numbers. There was one time where Felix had to do a mission where he had to steal changbin’s phone so he had his mom call Changbin’s mom and changbin’s mom to call changbin 😂 So felix’s mom did that and changbin’s mom called changbin and as he was talking to his mom felix snatched his phone and completed in mission 😂😂😂

Htet Kross

No he didn’t? I think I skipped more than he did at the revealing of final top 9 😂

Htet Kross

And for september most of the Final Trainees are debueing in other groups and even Haruto will debut this fall with Anthony, Yuto and Takuto.

The way they hold hands when they walk up even when staff clearly signaled them to stop it and go up one by one, they broke so many "rules" with this.

idk the more you get into Kpop you'll see how common lip syncing is... I dont really see a problem with it in most cases including this mainly because we always get to see how talented they are with singing and dancing in other cases. So when they do lipsync it doesn't bother me cause ik how talented they are already.

Also wanted to recommend Baek Koo Young's dope club with ZB1 (They kind of get a little revenge on him, it's so funny haha 😂)

You should definitely watch Zerobaseone on Idol theatre 😂 It’s so funny! You also get to know the boys much more. Fx Jiwoong is much more much much more than a handsome face 😂 He’s such a goofy grandpa

Ok one more thing. There's a youtube channel devoted specifically to ZB1 content without English subs. Please check them out and support them. They work really hard. https://www.youtube.com/@ZB1Subs

Oh and a bunch of the boys who didn't make the top 9 are actually debuting. I can't remember who and what groups off the top of my head. Okay sorry for all of the comments.

On the case of lip syncing - its become so normalized on big events/award shows/finales of big programs I don't even pay attention to it, it is how it is in this industry. Obsession with perfection was always a case for those programs, and such is a decision of production crew to make it this way. We know these boys can sing, they showed us plenty before. So I hope you don't feel it's them (the boys performing) who wanna easy way around it lmao I remember balling like hell through some speeches... Like Gyuvin (r7) was never my pick (nothing against him, I just voted for some other trainees) but after his finale I found him so sweet and thoughtful that Im so glad he made the team! Gunwook (r5) was my 1pick so I got so emotional when he got called lol. Funny when u spoke about parents of idols knowing each other - I think most do? Like u mentioned SKZ, they for sure have each other numbers (one episode of skz variety had a bit about Felix asking his mom to call Changbins mom etc...). So I think in some, if not most groups, parents at least know of each other. You joke about r 1-2 being "surprising" but Hao fans were absolutely losing it before finale... It wouldnt have been the first time the Chinese trainee would drop off on the finale, despite ranking high whole show. Power of one pick is massive and sadly so is general dislike for China in SK.... So fans had a reason to be stressed. Also Yujin wasn't called for a long while and he always ranked pretty high (plus hes Korean, which always helps). Also the finale was dubbed Haobins wedding and you cant convince me otherwise :) Hao dethroning the mighty Hanbin was indeed gag of the century. First foreign trainee to rank 1st on Mnet survival show? He made history. And in all fairness, I think if Hanbin was to surrender his rank 1 to someone, Hao was the most deserving one of them all. Also by going up the stairs together, they kinda cemented it being "their" achievement, as friends, soulmates, whatever u wanna call it. Also there was a recording, when they were both sitting, Hao in 1st place, Hanbin called him and said "it suits you (the 1st place)". They just threw r9 out so fast (no candidates or anything) because their broadcast time was coming to an hour that minors (like Yujin) have a curfew. As in, they literally cannot be shown on tv after 11pm or something like that. I hope you will react to some content from zb1! They are slaying records and are entertaining like hell. Camp Zerobaseone reaction "soon" :D? Don't feel pressured ofc, take your time and film what you want, whenever you want. To commemorate your journey and for the sake of our nr 1 and 2 main slayers I give you the best 2 same song short edits on the internet: - Hanbin - https://www.tiktok.com/@allinshb/video/7222679039993974021 - Hao - https://www.tiktok.com/@haozh4ng/video/7236037973358218502 Sorry for wall of text lmao

I loved rewatching this show with you, and getting to hear all your thoughts and opinions throughout the episodes. . Now i know you won't be back to recording for awhile (hope you are enjoying your time off!) but I just wanted to leave some links to fun Zerobaseone stuff that is currently out on youtube! You should definitely check out Camp Zerobaseone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnzTIoSNexY (KstarNextDoor ep 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Jtrzvuhy0&t=1537s (KstarNextDoor ep 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW4n5dOrGJo (ZB1 folder ep 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAlHwVBdowI ( ZB1 folder ep 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvVG7eWwKt0 (Idol human theater)

I totally agree with the final 9. And even if they were lipsyncing and the recording had a bit of finetuning you can tell that they have great voices. If you wanna watch more of them, I recommend Boys Planet ep 13 (a little recap and to learn more about them) ZeroBaseOne on It's live (no lipsync, I would say) K Star Next Door (2 episodes, with live singing at the end) Camp ZeroBaseOne (really fun to watch) ZeroBaseOne Folder The more I watch of them , the more I love them because they are a bunch of 9 total dorky goofballs with great chemistry imo.
