Boys 2 Planet Finale
Added 2025-09-28 20:11:39 +0000 UTCYAAY at last.
Okay watching this, especially the sleep over they had gives me more hope about their chemistry. We got to see how close they actually are since the show didn't really showcase this.
The line up is as good as it gets considering who I DIDN'T want in the line up (my first reaction to the line up is on my youtube as a saved live).
I'm so curious what Sanghyeon is gonna do. Imagine he was swapped with Donggyu ... in the words of RIIZE ... in another life.
Enjoy!

2025-10-16 17:23:30 +0000 UTCDecided to copy past part of a comment I left under a different video here since I think it's more relevant to the finale. I'm a bit behind and catching up on all the boys2planet reactions of yours is so fun π (I have added a bunch more commentary here though, so sorry, I am partial to writing entire essays in patreon comment sections) One of the major problems I actually have with the show is how useless the judges are. We hardly get to see any of their feedback and they feel more ornamental than anything if I'm being honest. Also all the guest presenters were so unnecessary. I did not have to watch San read random names for 3 hours. The show wasted so much runtime on dragging out those elimination episodes and unnecessary sidequests (eg. that fuckass dog, like, I'm happy there was an emotional support animal on set, but I have no clue why that dog got more screentime than several contestants.) Mnet continues to have TOO MANY contestants, biting off far more than they can chew, and the show was boring because of it. The Top 10 was roughly the same throughout the entire season and you had little chance to form an emotional connection to many other talented contestants since outside of the main characters of the season, your screentime is shared with 30-40 other contestants. The entire concept of a survival show would fare so much better if it only had about 30 contestants. (I'm thinking of I-LAND or LOUD that are good examples of this) Mnet's picks were really obvious this season. I'm glad some of them didn't make it (Liyu and Masato) and the final lineup is so much better than I could have hoped for. Especially considering both Jiahao and Xinlong made it I was overjoyed. (Also I just discovered Jiahao's stagename is going to be ARNO?! I'm horrified, it's giving Sesame street) The one thing this group lacks imo is a VOICE that I love. Throughout the season there were not that many contestants that stood out to me vocally but Chen Bowen, Yoonmin, Andrew, Leo, Jiang Fan and Haneum were all quite good, Hengyu too, but he seemed to have a bit of a habit of biting off more than he could chew vocally, although that might have also just been due to how the show makes people ultra desperate and competitive. The line distribution was honestly quite ridiculous for a lot of the songs. When you look at TVXQ's rising sun, the main vocal moments are shared between different members, but in BP2 they really made the main vocal have 56% of the lines, which is absolute insanity. It baffled me a bit that only one of them got into the final lineup. But I'm glad Leo didn't get separated from Sangwon. I honestly feel a strange sense of relief now that all the Trainee A members have debuted. Also, is this a safe space to say I never understood the hype around Anxin? He sounds like a little lamb when he sings (especially the "Breathe" stage) and he's pretty but he doesn't have that magnetising effect that eg. his friend and lablemate Jiahao has imo. Junseo actually has a decent amount of stage presence and as a fan of WEi for a while, he will do just fine here too. Also love that another boykisser made it into the lineup, I just know WAKEONE is mad about that behind the scenes haha. And Sanghyeon...I keep forgetting about him. I can't remember a single moment in the show where he truely stood out to me if I'm being honest. I kept thinking "who is that" whenever I saw him ranked so high. I presume he is going to be the group's rapper? Donggyu and Junmin not making the final lineup sucked, especially since Donggyu's company is going to throw him straight back into their training dungeon, but the idea of him and Arctic ending up in the same group makes me happy, so I'm not tooo disappointed. I'm personally so glad that Yunseo didn't make it. He was definitely one of the more professional and debut-ready trainess, but it's such a joy seeing a new group debut without ANY minors. Kaiwen was amazing too but he was never really given a proper moment to shine on the show. The first time i really noticed him was during the position battle stages when they were choosing who would be the main dancer for the Yumeki choreo. His facial expressions and dancelines were wonderful, as is to be expected from a trainee from Lay's company ^^ I'm so happy Yumeki didn't make the group, it would have been such a loss to have his choreographing skills go to waste for 5 whole years locked in a contract with Wakeone. I honestly feel like this about Bailey and Emma from BADVILLAIN too, it feels like such an aura-loss to go from being famous and at the top of your field to being, well, a random kpop idol. I just wish certain people had been able to stay on the show a bit longer instead of the Masatos and the Liyu's of this season. And it's such a shame how many C-trainees were cut almost immediately. I would have liked to have Chen Bowen or Jiang Fan's voice on some of those BPII songs when I listen to them. (Overall the quality of the song picks both for the covers and for the originals this season was terrible, especially those Finale songs... and don't get me started on the absolute trainwreck that is the signal song. The signal test episode in general was such a boring experience. It would be far more interesting if trainees were allowed to pick any part of the song and interpret it within their skillset and perform it. Eg. rappers can write a verse, dancers can make some choreo, singers can rearrange/ harmonise/ do ANYTHING OTHER than make us watch countless people struggle to perform the same bit of choreo with the same section of a boring song. It's just not entertaining at all.

2025-10-06 02:28:09 +0000 UTCIβve loved watching this with you. As Iβve known Kangmin for years from him MCing on show champion with Moonbin and Sanha he was my one pick. And he REALLY stole my heart on this. So sad he didnβt make it. I hope Verivery gains more fans from him but I really wish heβd debuted again here as heβs so young still. Btw I have been watching Veriverys MVs so I can see more of him - and just realised you did a reaction to them 3 years ago. You really liked O and their dancing. Kangmin was still in his teens then - and sooo talented. Hope more opportunities open up for him now.

2025-10-06 02:12:42 +0000 UTCHeartbroken about Junmin and Donggyu but then I remembered Donggyu is in IST with my baby Arctic, Rensho and Sihwan- who were all fairly memorable and promising trainees to me (i would have loved Arctic as Maknae:,) ) - so iβm hopefull!!!!
