Patreon Request Stream #5 feat. SEVENTEEN, PRISTIN, IDLE'S MIYEON, ANTENNA, SOHYANG & WJSN'S MEIQI

Glad you liked the Antenna artists. I left some of their artists out, like Jung Seughwan. I wanted to see your reaction to find out who I can expand on in future requests. Turns out: all of them. I had to include Jukjae, because he's the guitarist you've been seeing in every Begin Again clip I've shown you. You've also seen him in the background of lots of live videos where there's a band, in particular Taeyeon or IU. I'm going to start showing you more clips from Begin Again 4 (Korea), because the whole show is performances. But I might take a side track into more Sam Kim or Kpopstar. You should see baby Kwon Jinah, Sam Kim, and Lee Suhyun. And Lee Jinah... if you want vibe, she's got it. I had to go with that highlight clip to fit the time limit. But there's so much more there.

Ah saw in the stream someone mentioned you should watch Produce 101 Chinese version hahah, so I wanted to give you some info about it if you ever decide to watch it, or just for fun lol. There are 2 main/popular "Chinese PD 101" audition shows hosted by 2 different companies, one being the Idol Producer/Youth With You series made by IQiYi, and the other is the Chuang (Produce camp) series made by Tencent and the debut group is managed by Wajijiwa Ent. (This was one of the reasons why Meiqi and Xuanyi couldn't continue their activities under WJSN as their contracts were under Wajijiwa, not Yuehua for that period of time.) Some info on the 2 companies on google lol cuz it's a better description than I could give haha: iQIYI is a Chinese online video platform based in Beijing launched on April 22, 2010. iQIYI is currently one of the largest online video sites in the world, with nearly 6 billion hours spent on its service each month and over 500 million monthly active users. Tencent is a Chinese multinational technology conglomerate holding company. Its subsidiaries globally market various Internet-related services and products, including in entertainment, AI, and other technology. All in all, their platforms are watched by many and they're rich lol. Idol Producer was aired under iQiYi in 2018, and the show was a big success despite not getting the official copyright from the original SK PD 101 series. (Hence why they need to change the show name to Youth With You after obtaining the copyright.) The final center got a total of 47 million votes. In the same year and around the same time, Tencent put out Produce Camp 2018, which was also a big success, with 185 million votes for the final center. You could kinda see the rivalry from the start lol, but it wasn't as bad since IP was a boy season, and Produce Camp was a girl season in 2018. These 2 big companies saw the popularity in the Korean Produce 101 series and said lemme get a slice of that cake lol. In 2019, iQiyi returned with its now legal copyright and rebranded the show as Youth With You Season 1, while Tencent returned with Produce Camp 2019. Starting from 2019, the gender of the 2 shows are the same, so comparison started getting tougher. Counting to 2021, there have been 1 season of idol producer, 3 seasons of Youth With You, and 4 years of Produce Camp (or Chuang). Out of all total 8 shows. I recommend (my opinion only): Idol Producer (WJSN Chenxiao, Pristin/IOI Kyulkyung, Jackson Wang, Lay Zhang were mentors on the show), I feel like this was the show that got some people in c-idol groups; Produce Camp 2018 (the season Meiqi and XuanYi participated in, many argue that this was the best season); Produce Camp 2019; Youth With You 2 (Lisa mentored); Produce Camp 2020; Produce Camp 2021 (included more international trainee). I just realized how long this got lol. My apologies to you guys for making y'all scroll so much hahah.

P.S: Miyeon was supposed to debut with Blackpink. Imagine how insane it would be if she really debut with Blackpink?? And also Meng Meiqi is a millionaire in China right now. I think she had 5 movies, 3 dramas, and her only album so far sold 20 million copies in an hour within release?? The WJSN girls in China are really superstars on their own.

Spreading the Carat agenda! I'm glad you guys enjoyed my request! Sorry that I couldn't make it to the live stream, I was at work. I don't think I'll be able to make it to many of them because our timezones are so different, but I'll watch the ones I can! Rocket's a really special song because it IS a love song, but there are no gendered pronouns, either in English or Korean versions, so anyone can relate to it! And what Prixiisms (was that the name?) Was saying about the rock-paper-scissors game is whenever they perform the song they play to determine who has to do a freestyle dance! It's decided on the spot so they have to quickly come up with something. They're both quite witty so they always turn out hilarious. Carats do want one thing, and it is indeed the Ideal Cut solo songs' studio versions. I would buy a full album that was just the solo songs! Though we're definitely never getting that, partly because Woozi's solo has strong sentimental value to him and he only wanted to perform it once (he has performed it a second time as an opening or something for their producer's concert/performance. But that was a special occasion.) Sickness is such a beautiful song. The lyrics were absolutely incredible, and the video credited only Vernon for them. Which likely means he wrote Eunwoo's lines too? Sorry I don't tend to research indepth, I have a wide but shallow knowledge. Either way their voices contrasted super nicely and blended well when they needed to! I think we still have Wonwoo left to do for the hiphop unit? I'm looking forward to your future reactions!
