Comments

I haven’t watched your reactions to b2p (yet), but it makes me really happy that you recognize Bowen for his talent. He does deserve better 😭😫

Jennifer

New episode every Monday!

Jet

hellooooo! i just joined as a new member cause i wanted to watch b2p reactionsss. may i ask if the remaining episodes will be available for the groupy tier? if yes, whennn? thank u

jea

Agreed on the point about Jia Hao poising as a real threat to Sangwon's centre and I think it was a win-win situation for both of them: as unfortunate as it might sound, imo Jia Hao's part wouldn't be as impactful and helped his rank climb up so quickly, if it wasn't so short and memorable. the debut group better be doing mature and sexier concepts bc this vibe really suits most of the debut lineup candidates :pp

I didn’t have a one-pick for a long time, but after watching the latest performances, I found myself repeatedly going back to Jia Hao’s Chains fancam. That’s when I realised he was going to be my one-pick. I also feel that Sangwon was able to level up in Chains because he felt Jia Hao as a real threat. With how close Jia Hao could have been to taking the killing part, Sangwon had no choice but to push himself—and he really did step up. While I wish Jia Hao had more centre moments, I do think Sangwon ultimately delivered the best killing part for the song.

It really speaks to his skill how far he got despite ZERO screen time. He’s THAT fng good.

Jet

This is pretty spot on except I’d put Sangwon in both visual/center and another main dancer. My list is similar but as good as Geonwoo is, I never included him in my top 5 as an absolute. I also did not include Jun Seo at all (at least in my top 5), similarly to Jia Hao. My top 5 would be Sangwon, Leo, An Xin, Xin Long, and Yumeki (personally think if he had more idol/trainee experience that’d be even better but I mainly included him bc I do like him as a person and in terms of his dancing and I think he can really benefit the debut team to elevate the performance as a whole and at least make the group a very skilled self-choreographing group if not self-producing depending on what the company wants/allows). I was leaving the last 3 spots to be up for grabs, but if I were to choose, maybe Jun Seo as his skills aren’t super lacking so he can keep up with the rest of the group and I can def see him as the leader, Geonwoo bc I also agree he can do everything but just not a specialist in anything, and Jia Hao bc he’s memorable in his dancing especially (could work more on expressions tho). A special mention to Hengyu bc I really like him, but judging by my lineup, I have realized he may not suit the whole vibe of the group tho at the same time I hope that reason doesn’t bar him (or others) from debuting either in this group or any other (I think his skills are solid enough to debut)

Chen Bowen has been my 1 pick this whole time and it’s crazy how he got to screen time when he’s an actual all rounder I’m so sad he’s gone I hope a company picks him up after this 😭 also can’t believe he went into this as an individual contestant

Lola

Chen Bo Wen don’t worry I see you 🤧 he did great !! If anything I am glad he got this chance to be on Mcountdown, hope he’s alright after the show

Liv

Yeah, on one hand - I'm super glad they're getting ahead of their reaction schedule instead of always chasing it. But on the other hand, I kinda hate not being able to discuss the episode fresh with them. By the time we answer any questions they ask in a reaction, ESPECIALLY ones that might change their perspective in an upcoming episode, it's already too late lol 😅

Aine

I will be honest, i actually didn't expect rock to win that round, over like JENNIE, just because jun min and sang won went crazy and harry jun's choreo was insane and that team seemed much more balanced in terms of performance rather than rock. Having said that, i'm so glad xin long got his moment cus i have been rooting for him since the auditions. Also i completely agree with you about leo's performance, i think he did a much better job in Queencard, maybe cus that was more vocal driven, which is his strength? The fact that he has been getting consistent low live scores may also be getting to him? But idk i don't wanna make any assumptions.

At this point, my personal line up would probably be: -Sangwon -Leo -Xinlong -Jia Hao -Donggyu -Junmin -Anxin -Sanghyeon (with Donggyu being my 1-pick right now) I know, I know, the last choice is super controversial bc it seems like EVERYONE thinks he's a dozen but I feel the potential! And regardless of his scandal, I'm sorry but Geonwoo doesn't register at all for me. He's not bad nor great, he's just.. There. (again, for ME) There's the argument of needing a "bland white rice" member in the group, which I respectfully disagree with. 😅

Aine

PD, will you watch the full ver or personal cam from b2p performances? Maybe some of your favorite performances

채채즈

goddamnnn every new performance Sangwon proves me i was right to choose him as my one pick since his first audition, i always loved this kind of idol that is a completly diffent person on and off stage

Amanda Araujo

Sangwon's gap moe duality on and off-stage is what makes him so appealing as an idol. I don't know if you've watched the most recent episode so (SPOILER ALERT HERE) - he's going for a refreshing concept for the first time in this competition. I'm personally super hyped because hopefully we can see his off-stage personality on stage lol. Also here's an old relic I thought you might enjoy - Trainee A covering Seventeen's World! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bABaxsercJI

Vanessa Ann

zhang jiahao is literally a dream

kay

Seems like Bowen is your Lee Yedam of this season lol

TheDaddyMJ

you really spoiled me today with these drops🔥

beanie

Completely understandable why Sangwon is your one pick PD! He’s in my dream lineup as well. Junmin is my one pick 💓💓💓 and I also would love to see Xinlong, Leo, and Donggyu in the lineup as well. ❤️ Those are my top 5 guys!

Juicy

The way everyone’s list is slowly becoming the same..,

Jet

YES! This is a great description. He’s like more “musical artist” than “idol artist”

Jet

So I actually talk about this in my Ep 11 reaction. He’s a very quiet and deadly weapon imo. I would describe Geonwoo as this: he is a 9/10 is literally every category. Vocals, dancing, charisma, expression work, star power. He’s NEAR perfect in EVERY category but shines in nothing particular. But yeah, my eye is drawn to him every time BECAUSE no one is as perfectly balanced as him. For example Jang Jia Hao is like an 11/10 in dancing but needs more work in facial expression work. Geonwoo averages out better because he may be 9/10 in dancing but his 9/10 in everything else makes him, in my opinion, always technically better than everyone he can be compared with 1:1. For example, that LALALA SKZ performance? I think Xin Long is way more memorable but I think Geonwoo did better overall. Geonwoo feels like a true “jack of all trades yet master of none”. He’s like the ultimate “neutral/solid” root member. Think members like Lee Know in SKZ. He can do everyone’s job for them but not better than them, but overall he can do more than those who are specialized.

Jet

sangwon killed it omg, ngl as the very likely center a darker concept seems like it would suit the group so much! also jiahao is INSANEEE i need him to debut so bad

cy

My top so far Leo, Xinlong, Sangwon, Junmin, Junseo. I love Kangmin just like I love Harry June but I don't want Kangmin to be in the group I low key want a permanent group with Junmin in it event hough he's already in a group!! My one pick is Junmin!

Tasia

My perfect Line Up Since the first Episodes. 1. Sangwon 2. Leo 3. Xin Long 4. An Xin 5. Jun Seo 6. Geon Woo And 7. Jun Min since S- Class And now my 8th Pick since Chains is Jia Hao I see Donggyu as Vocalist but i dont have room for him :c Maybe Mnet will announce surprise 9th Member :) Visual, Face of the Group: Sangwon Main Vocal: Leo Lead Vocal: An Xin Main Rapper: Xin Long; Jun Min Main Dancer: Jia Hao Leader: Jun Seo All-Rounder: Geon Woo (I think he is capable for this position but needs to work on everything)

Ashley

I have a question hopefully someone can help me. I'm really confused with myself because for Geonwoo it's not like he's overly special or unique. He's pretty stable to me kinda like Junil but for some reason he keeps drawing my eye to him and I don't know what it is. Like yes of course he nails every concept or character he's given I just don't understand because it's also not like he draws you in visually either like Leo and Sangwon would. I'm just really confused of why I like him so much. Like is it an Aura thing is anyone else drawn to him like he's not in my top 8 but everytime I watch him it feels like he should be in top 8. Also side note MNET is like really pushing for Anxin to be in the final 8 like for me talen us there but I think he needs to work on acting with his eyes and energy. Also this is the only performance where I was like ok I see potential like he finally had life in his performance!!

Tasia

Leo is my one pick but I agree with you, that he can do more. I think the difference between him and sangwon is that Sangwon is crazy passionate about performing whereas Leo is more passionate about the music itself

Aria

Also I did feel like the energy (maybe cause of the camera work?) of the Lalala stage here was so much lower than the original because it didn't highlight everything as perfectly but yes Geonwoo and Xinlong were standouts for me as well

Aria

My lineup is so similar to most people but I JUST SEE IT - Sangwon, Anxin, Leo, Xinlong, Geonwoo, Junmin, Jiahao and Kangmin/Donggyu

Aria

The holy trinity

Jet

this lineup is perfect, I keep seeing it circulating around the internet and wondering why junmin donggyu aren’t in the lineup already like 😭 pretty much everyone wants this

Ivy

Also the one time sangwon leo and Anxin aren't in the same team none of them make it to mcountdown 😭

Millie

My favourite debut lineup would be: Sangwon Leo Anxin Jiahao Geonwoo Junmin Donggyu Xinlong Wildcards if possible master pick is in fact taking place Kangmin Junseo I can already visualize the concept for this group, rough-sexy.

Sven Lenders

Sangwon really transforms when he is on stage, as if he has a switch on/off button. Like what do you mean this cutie introverted shy guy is THIS PERFORMER ??

Chouille

Also Zhao Guangxu goes by Lynn Lynn as an alias sometimes (he is also called Lynn Lynn on Project 7 if you are going to watch that sometime)

Sven Lenders

Pd, the Andrew, Lim Jack and Ryan are preparing something right now....

Sven Lenders

pd u can’t be teasing us abt ur first reaction to the chains performance when we won’t get to see it anytime soon 😣

Ivy

Sangwon got challenged this time with Jiahao being in the mix so it really pushed him to be better also do you plan on releasing the episodes early cause finale is next week, I would love to see your live reaction or like a sooner one.
