Road To Kingdom Episode 8 PT2

Watching the intro to ONF's final performance and answering your question: These are shots from their MVs. I did say they had a storyline going from their debut MV. I completely forgot that New World was a part of the storyline. These comments are making me want to go back to the behind-the-scenes for Basquiat again. *sigh* I love Pentagon to pieces. I have a whole week off and have spent 2 days re-watching my favorite Pentagon things and watching reactions to my favorite Pentagon things. No regrets.

Btw, at the end there, Wooseokie was next to tiny!Yuto, the Yuto from ONF - who is friends with Yuto from Pentagon. They were trainees together and are both Japanese (and legit adorable). To me, Wooseok and ONF looked like Snow White and the six dwarves lol

Did you know Hui had a sore throat that day? And singing live all the time~ I laughed a lot when you were asking yourself if the vaccine made you trip or you were stuck in a time loop ahahahahahhaha Imagine watching it live with ads! It was _the worst_

I knooow! I was like no no Shinwon honey, you KILLED it lol I hate how critical he is of himself. He had no clue he did SO well.

omg i forgot that happened, poor shinwon ): i remember watching the behind the scenes of him breaking down and ugh my heart broke into a million pieces

There's already drama over Kingdom. Something about MNET setting fund limits for stages and not relaying the updated amount on the limit to 3 teams some how....I noticed ATEEZ is being attacked saying they took advantage of their props they already own and some other crap. Just Blah. I hate drama.

Oh and also Shinwon's in-ear piece did not work during their performance. He couldn't hear the music or himself so he was going off of the members to know when to perform his part. He was SO upset by it if you find the video when they get off stage he just BREAKS down crying because he thinks he ruined the performance. He did SO good. God I love Pentagon!

I love that WM continued to supply ONF with the craziest MV budgets despite their popularity waning for all those years...it seems like a label that really gives a shit. They don't cheap out.

Me too man, me too WM groups do really have this 'darkhorse-can do all' mentality ONF and Oh My Girls, both just pulled my attention directly in these shows

At first I only watched perfomances themselves and actually got into the show because of Pentagon and Golden Child (and ended up liking ONF so much too, I mean, I probably wouldn't know about their existence without RTK, so thank you, RTK, lol). Thanks to you I've got interested in the show itself and it was really great reaction series to follow. I hope you gonna enjoy Kingdom as well.

Also yes, that's our tall maknae Wooseok. He's like 190cm or something, so he towers over a lot of idols lmao

You absolutely underestimate MNET ability to create drama, trust me if there were elimination as well in Kingdom the fanwars might shut down YT and twitter altogether. Makjang writers wish they could be as good as MNET producers and editors at stirring the pot. We just started and I can think of multiple issues already of shadiness (and I don't follow any group on it, so I am pretty neutral). MC sounds sarcastic because he is, all the time. I will miss them in Kindom, especially Lee Da Hee (I literally watched Queendom and RTK for her at the beginning, not even ashamed). You were not really spoiled for Basquiat, it was not an official comeback but they have a perf MV out, but it looks great so there's that. VeryVery and ONEUS knew they were not going to win, I liked VeryVery performance just being a thank you to fans, it was very cute. I am pretty sure PENTAGON was hoping of course, but knew it was not going to happen, especially if you see the lyrics (and they literally end it with the quote I create and put on the crown myself!), you can tell from Hui speech. I liked The Boyz incorporating all prev performance and the set tricks, was a bit disappointed in ONF. The song is really good but somehow the stage did not do much for me, maybe it was just the stage outfits, not sure. Also ONF MV and songs are really good, you should have a look! MV views is a difficult topic, because it does not mean much but is criteria for show wins, which are meaningless in theory but they impact a group reputation and opportunities, plus rates etc... It's a snake biting its tail, and you will see in Kingdom how much worse that is going to get, views are 50% of the score I think. EDIT - Don't worry about a bit of time between content if you're not feeling well, happens to the best of us, especially when also working/studying. Take care.

wowoooowow

Fun fact, Hui had a sore throat during this live show. Yes, he hit those notes with a sore throat, I can't believe the talent that man has. Also, this was most definitely not a spoiler for Basquiat! These songs were written for the final, they only released the audio versions beforehand (on spotify etc) but this was the first performance. The performance video (it does not have a music video) was released after the final. This was the order you were supposed to see it in! They sang It's Okay by BTOB for the vocal performance! BTOB are known for their ballads and insane vocals. Hui being the one who brought this performance together and with BTOB & pentagon under the same company, it's just very fitting :)

Juuls

Pentagon should be treated like national treasure

claireisuche

It was foreshadowing!

KpopPrince

The song that was covered at the end is "It's Okay" by.....BtoB! The funk soul brothers
