After Kingdom, can yall pleaseee react to Ateez's Salary Lupin series🥺 It was the start of the Ateez Company content [where they all wear suits and Jongho was the director and Yeosang was the manager].

KissTeeNa_

Yes 7 out of the 9 members are currently acting, only Jaeyoon and Yoo Taeyang are not. But technically they all acted when they did the webdrama "Click Your Heart" predebut.

somebody probably already told you guys but the last two columns on the ranking you've seen at the end are the ranking according to 'view's and 'global voting'... so tbz and atz placing low there is connected to how many ppl streamed/voted for them :( you always HAVE to vote for 3 groups so it can make a difference how everybody votes

I just wana say whoever posted an "official strategy" was not one of ours. there was alot of chaos in atinyville with trolls and antis posting so called strategies when there was no such thing. we're literally just yelling at each other to vote and create more accounts 😅. strategies haven't ever existed here in atinyville lol

MingkisWay

I would like to correct u on the voting strategy. we DIDN'T have one. that was rumors created by antis and trolls. for us, besides voting for ateez and giving our other 2 votes to whoever we wanted, there was no such thing as a strategy 😅. we just wanted ppl to create more accounts to vote with.

yeah i hate how much mnet spoil the performances, i noticed it especially with ikon this episode, it becomes less of a surprise and therefore less hitting in the performance when they do that and that's not fair to the groups :/

Soph

Is it just me or did they spoil a lot of Ikon's performance before the actual performance?? Like they showed the set and the cool effects it had, and then almost the whole chorus with choreography... I didn't feel like they did that for the other groups

What Rowoon from Sf9 was wearing during the practice was like a back brace/support since he was (and still kind of is) injured. So it’s not a harness. That was partially why he didn't join the performance for the introduction stage and round 1. The exact injury is from what I know unknown but it was reported that he had back and knee pain and was advised by doctors to not do any intense movements cause it could get worse. So this was his first performance back with the group and first performance on Kingdom.

also, fun facts: sf9’s chani and rowoon are very famous actors in korea. Chani was a famous child actor who has acted in many well known dramas. Rowoon is a super famous “heartthrob actor” because of his height and visuals, he plays in a lot of teen crush dramas like Extraordinary You. Many of the other members also have acting experience (correct me if im wrong im not sure), like hwiyoung in web dramas and inseong in musical acting.

The Boyz are my ults so I’m kinda biased hehe but I liked their performance the most here. However when I look at it objectively, I do think Sf9’s performance had more of a wow factor. I hope i can give some background on why I think tbz’s performance was so meaningful! as they were saying, tbz completely overtook RTK, they basically monopolized first place on that show! so when they came here, I’m sure they felt pressure to stay at the top. on RTK, basically there was a possibility of 2 RTK groups making it to Kingdom but bc tbz did so well only they were able to qualify (not going into too much detail). because of that i think they also feel partly responsible for representing all the groups on RTK. they want the RTK groups and RTK viewers to watch them on kingdom and think “they’re worthy of being the winners of RTK”, which is why 1st place was so important to them. However, this episode hit rly hard cuz I think they realized that they don’t need to feel that pressure. in RTK, they put out six MIND-BLOWING performances which deservingly brought them the win. they gained so many new fans from that show as well as new friendships. I think the RTK group reunion this episode was really important for them, because it reassured them that the other groups are not thinking like “we could’ve done better than tbz on kingdom, why were they chosen of all of us?”. not saying any of the other groups would think that but I feel like that’s kind of the pressure that tbz put on themselves. I think for this episode they realized that they already showed so many mind blowing things on RTK, they don’t need to consistently do that here. Objectively, tbz probably has the smallest fandom of all the kingdom groups which is why they tend to place near the bottom for global votes. I think they’ve decided that at this point, they just want to try new concepts and things they wouldn’t be able to try through regular comebacks and just enjoy the process. With this performance they did just that- they stopped caring so much about ‘proving themselves by getting first’, and instead tried a performances they wanted to try. Granted, I think it may not rank as high but I’m glad they did this. There’s a fancam of Q, the main dancer, leading the dance break with a huge smile on his face- in that moment all the fans could tell how much fun he was having on stage and that makes us so happy! As fans I hope they just enjoy this ride- they’ve accomplished so much to get here and we couldn’t be more proud of them! :D sorry this was so long i’m just v proud of them haha, also i hope you can watch at least their RTK performances! so that you can have an idea of what they’re trying to live up to lol

Holly

other than that im so excited to see BTOB do backdoor and see how skz interpret a BTOB song. Personally, these 2 are my favorite groups so far because im kinda biased bc of skz LMAO and because BTOB are so talented and they're really fun to watch so I can't wait to see what they do.

So basically the first evaluation of the first round included the expert and group evaluation which ateez took first, stray kids took 2nd, the Boyz 3rd, btob took 4th, ikon 5th and sf9 6th. but for the group evaluations which was the second column for the final results, 1. ateez, 2. stray kids and btob, 3. the Boyz 4. ikon 5. sf9 so btob and skz were tied for the group voting. the third column was the global evaluation in which fans had to stream their performance on streaming sites like YouTube and naver. the results of the 3rd column was 1. stray kids 2. ikon 3. ateez 4. Btob 5. the Boyz 6. sf9. for the 4th column was the second half of the global evaluation which was for voting on whosfan for the top three groups you liked. the results for that was 1. stray kids 2. sf9 3. ikon 4.btob 5. Ateez 6. the Boyz. we dont know who won for the first round yet im pretty sure we get that answer this Thursday hopefully at the beginning of the 5th episode. so the first half of the first round ateez won 10,000 points bc of their ranking for the group and expert evaluation but skz got the other 10,000 points bc of their ranking for the global evaluation. skz are ahead rn bc of the 1000 points they got from the introduction stage. I hoped this helped you! thank u for ur reaction!.

Global voting makes sense since, stays approach to voting was voting for every team with no exclusion but always voting skz our votes were distributed evenly ex. 10 accs would be 10 votes for skz and 4 votes for every other team evenly. Many other fandoms (i know deobi and atiny) did voting where they gave sf9 the most votes and completely excluded stray kids. (you can literally find the official strategies) bc of this sf9 got a loooot of votes (even though they do deserve the votes) it was mostly due to other fandoms excluding stray kids.. i think stays did so well and we voted so hard even when we had to get almost all votes only from our own fandom! Im so proud of stay and stray kids!

The global voting makes sense, because stray kids has a big fandom, most atinys and deobis excluded skz from their voting strategy, but because of that sf9, ikon and btob got most of their votes and their position got up, while stays generally vote for everyone without excluding any groups, so our votes go to sf9, btob, ikon as well as to atz and tbz, It's a little complicated but the point is, excluding one group is not a smart move.

Some of my thoughts on this episode : First on the critics by professionals : I think it's unfair to tbz that the experts have not the same expectaions for them because they did rtk. They should evaluate them the same way as the others. Also i didn't undersant why one of them wanted SF9 performance to be sexier, I mean for me theirs was the sexiest of all the performances in round 1.... The performances : I LOVED SF9 OMGGGG They killed it ! They are top 3 of round 2 even if we haven't seen atz, skz and btob for now. I liked tbz performance, the tango was cool but I was a bit confused because I did not understand the story. And I'm less a fan of latin pop so it's not my favorite. I liked Ikon !! They had a cool concept, I prefered the end of the performance though. I never watched inception but I still get some of the references so it was cool. The results : What we saw was not the final ranking for round 1. We have to wait 2 weeks to have the final ranking for each round. Since fans vote after they filmed, mnet gives the results for the previous round to the group after the 6 of them performed I guess. This week we should have final ranking for round 1 and ranking from experts and peer evaluation for round 2. I think they only gave these rankings (and not the points) to please the viewers and add some suspense for the final results. 3rd column was the views on youtube : skz, ikon, atz, btob, tbz, sf9 Last column was vote from fans : skz, sf9, ikon, btob, atz, tbz People vote for 3 groups and I heard that a lot of them voted for sf9, ikon and btob because they did not want to vote for skz, tbz or atz. So even if sf9, ikon and btob have a smaller fandom on whosfan (the app where we vote) they got up thanks to that and atz and tbz got down...

if you want to understand iKONs stage even better, watch Vicemirs video about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzlM5Oe803o

The views on Naver don't count, only the one from YouTube count

Maureen

The last two categories were for global voting and stream views on YouTube. The final results will be revealed this week! Each round will be evaluated by expert and self evaluations first. Once a group’s performance is posted on Youtube, the viewers will have 3 days to stream and vote for their groups and the number of votes and views they received during those 3 days will determine their rank.

Fun fact about SF9 - O Sole Mio, this song include 5 languages (Italian, Spanish, Latin, English and Korean) and student in korea were banned to listen to it during exam season because it's too addictive. And the waterwheel choreo is from the song K.O, which was predebut, they won the show D.O.B with this song, which allowed them to debut. I think it would be interesting if you reacted to the original songs that each groups performed, that you are not familiar with, so you can really see the different interpretation and arrangement. For the results, they are not the finals results, the results of the 4 colones need to be added, to give the final results. 1st colone (Experts eval): Ateez, Stray Kids, The boyz, SF9, BtoB, Ikon 2nd colone (Team eval): Ateez, BtoB, Stray Kids, The Boyz, Ikon, SF9 3rd colone (video views): Stray Kids, Ikon, Ateez, BtoB, The Boyz, SF9 4th colone (global voting): Stray Kids, SF9, Ikon, BtoB, Ateez, The Boyz. As usual for the global voting we had to vote for 3 teams. And I think there is in total 10 episodes of Kingdom

Maureen

The final result have not been revealed yet. The four categories from left to right were expert votes, group evaluation, youtube wiews and lastly global votes. The final results will be announced next episode.
