Is it just me or did the video cut at 1hr?

MsDeb

from what i remember, they taked the same number of people from every fandom to be in the crowd to vote

Thao

I don't think I trashed them at all, moreso just her. Certainly don't in the next episode because I liked their performance the 3rd best.

I hope you don’t just trash aoa the whole show because jimin is the bad one this group was mismanaged from the start so don’t blame them all I hope because the rest don’t deserve it they were so talented but because of jimin its all ruined so I hope you just don’t trash the rest because that company knew what was going on and didn’t do anything so it’s not the other members fault they had to deal with her too

Did You cut the episode, cuz i can't see the 2 perfomance from the first ep. It stop during mamamoo talking about their concert. Maybe it's just me or a bug i dont know...

Currently looking for compression options without a crazy loss in quality to make it easier on people. I just always wanted to make content as if I'm viewing it, and I love full episodes! Thanks, hope your new year is going well too!

KpopPrince

I really appreciate that you're putting out the whole episode at once! I would go crazy if I had to wait between 8 minute chunks like you talked about, oh my god. I know some people will have trouble downloading it tho because it's 18GB and dropbox only lets your have a 1 hour of preview. (psps I hope 2021 is treating you well!)

Make sure you're logged into Dropbox or have the app. I might just upload it into two parts going forward.

KpopPrince

I somehow can't download the full episode, and thus cannot watch the full video Can you please just cut this video into 2 (< 1 hour) and reupload them separately?

It's a pity that you're watching this after Jimin's controversy. Queendom made me fall in love with Hyejeong's personality (and with AOA's determination), so I was thrilled for their comeback after the show (it was pretty solid tbh). I know that it will be hard to dissociate from the scandal, but AOA had their crazy and funny moments in the show. And I really enjoyed the whole episode with you, I watched it when it aired, but I forgot some scenes since then, and I really love your insightful and fun commentary, so I'm gonna stick with you haha. A kinda technical question: do you have any plans to compress the videos later in the future? I totally love the quality, but this first episode was huuuuugeee, almost couldn't save it to my dropbox. I think that there are ways to reduce the output's size without visible lost for the viewer and without taking all of your free space. (Edit: OH and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you for being you. ^^)

Not sure about anyone else, but personally I’d be fine if you just focused on AOAs performances as the other members also deserve the world! I know it’s a sensitive subject and I definitely don’t support Jimin (who you pointed out correctly) but I still think you can enjoy the performances with the rest of the members! Plus you can spend more time getting to know the other groups too :) And I totally agree that this show was so structured to Park Bom’s disadvantage, but it’s still so nice to see her on stage. Her performance was really built up because for the other groups and probably most of the people in the audience, Park Bom was literally a part of their childhood as most of the probably grew up listening to 2ne1. There was a lot of nostalgia behind the performance so that’s why it was built up so much. Loved the reaction and happy new year!

Thanks for this new year’s gift! Watching this with you is certainly going to be a fun ride. I don’t know when Lovelyz debuted, but Aoa debuted in 2012 making them the most senior group there, Mamamoo in 2014 and Oh My Girl in 2015.

I was having an extremely dull New Year's Eve, so I really appreciate you putting this up and and making my evening a lot more enjoyable 😅 I'm glad we got to see your reaction to Mamamoo in this first episode, Décalcomanie is definitely one of their biggest songs. A lot of moomoos have very mixed feelings about its MV though, so I'm looking forward to your reaction to that haha. And I totally agree with you about how strange of a decision it was to include Park Bom as the only soloist. There was definitely a lot of added pressure on her, and her inclusion really just made no sense. She did pretty well here given the circumstances though, the choir definitely added a lot. Also, just a quick comment about the hate that Mamamoo and Soyeon have gotten for their looks: That's unfortunately very real, because of the fact that they don't fit the ridiculously strict Korean beauty standards. Solar actually said in an interview recently that the CEO of RBW showed videos of Mamamoo to a bunch of CEOs from other companies right before they debuted, and every single one of them said something along the lines of: "What the hell are you thinking? They're not tall and pretty like other idols, so they'll surely fail." Thank goodness Mamamoo (and Soyeon) are so talented that they've been able to succeed in spite of that kind of thinking, but it's frustrating to think about :/

As someone who's not well acquainted with many girl groups, I'm super pumped to take this journey w ya.

The girl from Lovelyz is Mijoo. The girl from Oh My Girl you always pointed out is Seunghee. Also not judge AOA from what you know about the bullying. You have to judge them for the performances they will give, besides that the bullying affaire wasn’t known at that time. The female presenter Lee Da Hee is an actress, model and presenter, she’s also a big big big fan of Mamamoo. Park Bom was the main vocal of 2NE1.
