Although romcoms are more my style than politics-filled sageuk, Prince Sun’s scenes with the King in episodes 5/6 really reeled me in compared to Suspicious Partner.
Leo is really into it so much passion~ Hyuk impressed me his improvement is amazing ! Hongbin has a short part we can’t have everything. Ken, N and Ravi were wonderfully captivating.
I love their clothes, their fans and how the lyrics show on screen. I just love this promotion.
I’m hoping for a Hyukbin sub-unit. I love Hyuk’s honey voice – it reminds me of Onew’s. I really hope Hongbin gets more singing parts. I love his voice. It’s too bad that like SHINee’s Minho, he is stuck with rap because his lower range singing doesn’t fit with the rest of his group (and kpop in general where higher tone singers are preferred).
This is definitely a great era for Vixx. Every single one of them is slaying.
Here’s a dailymotion link for Light Up the Darkness. The guitar melody reminds me of a boy group’s song…I just can’t put my finger on which group and which song. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5k0oml
This uploader has also uploaded the other rock versions like Voodoo Doll, Chained Up, Spider, Maze, Error, Eternity, Spider, Hyde
I like Onew’s voice the best in SHINee and now that you said it, their voices are similar. Not having a a real part in a kpop just because you belong to the lower range is a pity. Like what happened with Produce101 , the song was really high and the ones who could not hit high notes were downgraded.
I can’t open the link the internet hates me too much T-T
Vocal ranking for me just in terms of which tone I like the best (not technical)
Onew
Key
Taemin/Jonghyun
Minho (when he sings in his range, it’s really good https://youtu.be/LQws3SnjJk0?t=37s )
And yes, I agree with you about Broduce 101. It’s a pity.
@mango I love Jonghyun, and he has a great range and technically, he’s probably the best singer, but he sometimes has this sort of ‘whine/scoff’, if you will, at the beginning and end of notes that Koreans tend to like (I think it comes from trot and pansori) whereas Key has a more ‘wholesome’ tone. For the same reason, I prefer Ken’s vocals over Leo’s (just to hear).
Oh, ChaBean would be pretty cool with Hongbin’s lower register and N’s higher tone. (WoonBin would be pretty nice to hear as well). I want a KenN duet too. So many ships!
I watched old B2st episodes of Weekly idol recently! And the new Highlight episode were hilarious! Can’t wait for the new song!
Thanks for the link for the SuJu episode! 🙂 I had forgotten all about it! I do wonder how you always have so many links ready.. Do you save them or do you just have really fast searching skills? 😀
You’re welcome. Lol, I guess it’s just fast searching skills 🙂 I ended up watching the episode again, so now I realize that the subs aren’t the greatest, but this did come out in 2013, so it’s to be expected.
I watched some shots of an old Heechul only episode.. I am just thankful that these are even available on Youtube.. they are not available on sites like kshow123 or kshowonline..
There’s Kyuhyun only, which was so awkward, that when it was a Henry only episode, Kyuhyun came and stayed for the rest of the episode because he knew how uncomfortable it was alone.
Henry is part of SuJu-M. He and Zhoumi were supposed to be part of the main SuJu, but the fans opposed it too much (there was backlash when Kyuhyun joined as well).
SuJu was oriiginally supposed to be a rotating group, with SHINee being part of the next group, but fans didn’t want that, so SHINee was created. So basically, SME has been trying to get an NCT-like concept out since 2005. 🙂
That sounds like a mess… But as long as it gives opportunities to people in different countries, then I guess it is good…
Ofcourse fans would prefer a stable group which they can wholeheartedly support! And SuJu already had many members!
Oh thanks! 😀
I think I had seen some cuts of this show when I had newly discovered Yook Sunjae and was looking him up on Youtube etc… Might have been a different episode though..
Sistar is coming back and there are a few debuts I haven’t mentioned, but these are the comebacks I’m more interested in and that I thought the others in this thread might want to know about 🙂
Woojin’s band The East Light is also having a comeback on the 18th, but it’s not really a comeback – it’s a remix of a previous release.
I don’t know if you’ve heard of A.C.E, but they’re debuting on the 23rd. Here’s one of their pre-debut practices/performances https://youtu.be/5-Dei8bzpqw
I read on Soompi Sistar were coming back. I hope they will have a song like I LIke That. I only know 1-2 songs of The East Light so I might check out the remake !
I know A.C.E 😀 I watched some of their guerilla performances and even subscribed to their youtube channel !
Nam Tae Hyun is also going to release an album with a band.
I don’t listen Sistar that much but like their song with a mature sound like Alone and Give It To Me. Their last album was so good ! If they could stay in that direction, I would enjoy it.
It was Minghao. He did it properly on some variety show. I can’t remember which one right now. Will look for it after I finish watching today’s episodes of SP.
Well, I learnt a new thing. 🙂
Thanks for the link!
Ohh I thought I’d actually seen all of SVT on Hongkira… O.o don’t remember this part though. Guess I didn’t twig it was the song Highlight at the time… don’t know why… O.o
I’m guessing they’re going for a mature sound now. Kind of like how BTS really evolved their music style from HYYH pt.1 from less hiphop to more pop, Seventeen might be going from fun band sound to mellow(er) pop.
Going by the teasers’ vibe, I think it will be mellow but with a hint of freshness that reminds of youth (different from BTS tho). They usually use bass so I think if they don’t use it, it’s going to not sound like the Seventeen we know.
Title, Swimming Fool, If I (I think this’ll probably be my favourite) and Crazy in Love are the ones I’m forward to the most.
Also, The8’s picture with the Check In snippet is so nice! He’s come a long way from his ramen hair (although anyone with ramen hair comes a long way in visuals)
Nope, you’re not alone either hehe. I actually loved the rest of the drama. Lighthearted, fun fluff is exactly what it is and why I liked it. And Seunggi was kind of adorable as a gumiho 😛

Woojin’s band The East Light is also having a comeback on the 18th, but it’s not really a comeback – it’s a remix of a previous release.

YES for China line <3 They said it will different from usual but it will still have that Seventeen sound.
daydee
May 17, 2017 at 6:02 AM
I’m guessing they’re going for a mature sound now. Kind of like how BTS really evolved their music style from HYYH pt.1 from less hiphop to more pop, Seventeen might be going from fun band sound to mellow(er) pop.
daydee
May 17, 2017 at 6:02 AM
I hope not though, because I really love Seventeen’s style right now.
mango
May 17, 2017 at 6:17 AM
Going by the teasers’ vibe, I think it will be mellow but with a hint of freshness that reminds of youth (different from BTS tho). They usually use bass so I think if they don’t use it, it’s going to not sound like the Seventeen we know.
