Kingdom - Episode 7 Part 2
Added 2021-05-26 05:40:13 +0000 UTCAs a reminder, I lost the audio to my original reaction so this had to be re-recorded but I kept the original video (no audio) on screen so you can at lease see my first reaction to it . Luckily the part two of this was easier to edit because I did not pause as much! lol
Love you all! 💕💕💕

I’ve watched Mayfly’s dance performance SO many times 😂 both my Ateez and Stray kids bias and wreckers were in that unit so the first times I probably zoned out. Too much to handle 🥲 these unit groups are literally the best. My cheeks hurts. So fun seeing how some of the words you say throughout the performances match with the non audio clip 😂 thanks for all the hard work with the editing. You’re a champ 💝

2021-05-26 21:59:32 +0000 UTCThank you for the effort, it was great to see your reaction to this episode ❤️ I think these two groups' different approaches in their performances were caused by not-so-clear directions for this round, and that's why they are so different. It's One units did a hip-hop performance like for "Show Me The Money" (rap competition show) and a dance performance like for "Hit The Stage" (dance competition show). And Mayfly units did both performances like MAMA stages, totally idol-like. Nothing wrong with both approaches, I personally understood this round the same as It's One team, so I gravitate towards It's One in both rap and dance performances. But it's just personal preference. Also, about the chemistry between the members (because I'm seeing discussions about it surprisingly often in other reactions as well) - Mayfly team consist of ATEEZ and Stray Kids that more-or-less know each other and have met each other previously, and some are even friends + BTOB, so one of the friendliest groups in kpop. For me it was obvious that they will get comfortable quickly. BTOB are setting the atmosphere for that, tbh, they are making everyone comfortable and befriending all Kingdom groups. But in It's One team you have members that are introverted af (like, 90% or more of the ALL It's One members are introverts) and they never even talked to each other or knew each other's names before. In the rap unit Sunwoo was bringing them together, being his happy fanboy self, and Bobby made the more relaxed vibe easier for everyone. But in the dance unit there is no one who can take the initiative, so it takes them longer to get closer. That doesn't mean they are not "together", they are just adorably awkward and not very loud about their feelings. I love their interactions. They are not that talkative in their groups either, so talking with strangers must have been a challenge. Anyway, I am with you about the whole judging part. I don't like it, especially since the performances are so different. It's almost like two different competitions, both great in their own ways, so I don't even know what criteria to use here. I'm just going with personal preference, and because of that everyone would have different opinions, so we can't say objectively who was better. There were no instructions for this round. It was just like "do what you want", so how are they supposed to judge that lol Overall, I'm happy for the performances, but I don't like the points for that. So basically the whole Kingdom experience in one sentence 👀

2021-05-26 13:13:40 +0000 UTCIf you haven't already I recommend checking out the little 2 minute conversations with members from different groups in the dance/rap/vocal teams on the MNET youtube channel. Han has a fanboy breakdown over Minhyuk and it's so endearing. Chan and Hongjoong are like an awkward first date lol.

2021-05-26 12:13:32 +0000 UTCI think this performance is a mix emotion for the guys since its a great feeling to do a collab with other idols but somehow it looks like they(especially the younger groups) feel so much pressure since it will affect not just their group but the 3 groups as well. 15k pts is alot! My personal opinion, I thought Mayfly won the rap cause they thought of a concept thats more flexible unlike Its one that has really really good and should I say shady toward Mnet rap (love it!) but its hard to add props and stuff to that kind of rap. For the dance, im gonna give it to Its One. But for sure its gonna close. Its One has more diversity and clearer concept while Mayfly has more Intensity and facial expression is bomb. I think its one performance just gave me goosebumps and thats why im picking it. All the performaces are so good!!! I hope they can do this more without fan voting or the competition aspect. 💚

2021-05-26 12:05:21 +0000 UTCOh no what an ordeal! It still worked in the end though 😁 I loved both the rap and dance performances but my preferences tilt towards the Mayfly rap team (for their message on embracing diversity) and the It's One dance team for emoting the story so well - they had beautiful dance lines despite wearing those robes. And I especially love the cute interaction between the rap teams. Bobby and Minhyuk really anchored their teams well, giving their members ample time to shine. And it seems that Minhyuk has adopted the entire SKZ group - in his recent IG live he said that the boys have been taking turns coming to his house and it's almost like a 2nd SKZ dorm now lololol

2021-05-26 11:35:27 +0000 UTCThank you for taking the time to re-record and edit this Anitra we really appreciate it and I actually liked the fact that I could see your initial reaction, hear what your initial thoughts were, and also hear any additional information/insight you had after the first recording because sometimes opinions can change from the first time you watch something to the second time. I loved both unit's performances for both rounds so I couldn't choose however one thing that I've noticed and that I've seen multiple other reactors point out is that with the Mayfly team they have such amazing chemistry and each of their units (dance, vocal, rap) could literally be their own group because they work so well with each other. With It's One they had great chemistry as well but it just didn't feel as strong or together (cohesive?) for me personally. Another thing was I wish It's One had used more of their members for the units because Mayfly found a way to fit all members of all 3 groups (with the exception of Changsub because he was sick) into the units however It's One didn't which was especially disappointing in the dance unit because The Boyz in particular have so many amazing dancers so I wish I could've seen more of the members from those 3 groups however as I said previously I loved all of the performances from both units. Thanks again for the video and can't wait for the next one!!!
