This was JAM PACKED. Very intrigued at how the voting went down

Agreed! Loved that he was here!

I havent’ had time to watch for a while but I have time now yayayay I was wondering how you’d feel about the group redistributions. It was really unique since supercharger/switch had 1 / 2 members while say my name/over me had everyone stay. En garde was easy since they needed one person gone and Park Hanbin volunteered. I think his reasoning is really solid, he shined brightly when he was leader in hot sauce and law, but he wasn’t leader in en garde since it was with hui. I think he was worried he would fade into the background with such strong teammates, and as we see later in the ep he seemed to really like Switch as well. I really like the way Over me picked who would stay and who would go. It seems they all picked the members that they wanted to perform with/suited the song best, then tallied it up. Most votes stayed. Makes sense and I think it works. It sucks to see Jongwoo leave the team he was leading though, as he seemed to be really into the team and song, so not being chosen seemed to really affect him. Plus, with the Hao leader edit that comes later, i definitely think they all focused on the team performance as opposed to roles within the group like leader and all that. I remember a conspiracy theory that revolved around Say My Name redistribution from like underground Boys Planet Twitter/TikTok/Reddit around this time. Basically, I saw some people suspect that the group/Mnet encouraged them to just kick out the lowest-ranked trainees from Say My Name, apart from Taerae who volunteers to leave. The members who leave Say My Name were Ollie (Rank 27), Woongki (Rank 26), Takuto (Rank 25), Seowon (Rank 18), and Taerae who volunteers so he doesn’t count. The remaining 5 who stay are Jiwoong, Yujin, Matthew, and Hanbin, all top 9, and Seungeon (Rank 17). In addition, from what they show us, the team voted for members to kick out rather than what Over Me did. It didn’t gain much traction all things considered, I just remember it happening around this time. Famously the new teams only had 3 days to learn the new choreo before the official performance which is WILD (I don’t know how true this is but according to korean comments that are still visible on the dance practice if you look, they had 3 days). The new teams just had to rearrange parts if any but they all knew the choreo. Ah yes, weird Matthew edit. This edit negatively impacts Matthew as you’ll see in ep 11, but I remember worrying really hard that it was gonna prevent him from getting in the group since we were 2 / 3 weeks away from the end at this point. I think a big part of his frustration that isn’t mentioned is the fact that they bring up the part switch NOW, after reshuffling and after he’s had this part for at minimum 1.5-2 weeks, I don’t remember exactly how long. He’s prolly thinking, ‘Why is it now suddenly a problem when it wasn’t before?’ As you saw in the last ep AND this ep, the boys liked to prank each other, so I don’t think it’s crazy that he would assume that it was a prank either. And again, they were like 3 days out from the official performance so a part switch this late can be really stressful as well. A story going around this time on the global side of things was that Junhyeon’s family disowned him because they didn’t support him being an idol, and then we see his family here in this episode so it confirms it was just a lie to try and get him sympathy votes LOL The family guerrilla performance was SO good. I’m glad they got encouragement from their family to keep going since all the boys are just in high-stress situations all the time while in Boys Planet. I'll save my other thoughts for the next one yayay

Park Hanbin is a genius and such a multitasker even in such pressure. To learn the choreo of two songs, one of which you don't know if you are gonna end up doing or not and to learn it well at a high level, not just a little bit, it is not easy to do. There are people who are struggling to learn one choreo and Park hanbin learned two and at a high level. I was already impressed by his leadership skills, this impressed me even more.

Trix is such a hype man! I am pretty sure he was the loudest over there. I am so happy he came to support Wang Zi Hao. I like Trix so much. I enjoy krumping when he does it. I enjoy krump is general but his tricks and style is so good. It doesn't hurt that he is hot too!!

So much drama happening for everyone and I’m glad some fantastic performances came out of it!!!

So many guys were GOING THROUGH IT this round of competition. MNET is going to milk the Matthew/Say My Name Team drama as much as possible even though I think they whole thing happened in the span of like, 2 days. And poor Haruto, he basically lost his entire original team and of the new guys, Zihao was the only one who actually chose to do supercharger. Haruto, was put in a tough position having to lead the group, teach the choreo to a whole new team, and be the center. But get ready for this performance, it's still epic. And we get main rapper Woongki. Unfortunately most of the G-group trainees got the short end of the stick when it came to family/friends visiting them. It seems like the show only really brought in family that lived in Korea or Japan. I think Kamden was the only non Japanese trainee to have family come from overseas. For the trainees that didn't have family, I think a handful of them had company representatives (Onewe's Dongmyeong was there to represent RBW Ent, Hiroto's company), teacher (Trix being there for Zihao), and eliminated trainees (Wumuti and Cai Jinxin). Abyways, can't wait for you to get to the performances in this round. They're all really good and all 5 songs was literally my top 5 most played songs of 2023.

That makes me feel so sad 😭 thank you for breaking the news. Luckily he is in the group at the end and gets all the love in all the places

Jessica Holyfield

It was well executed 😂

Jessica Holyfield

Omg that gunwook prank was sooooo funnny!!!!

socksrlame

I'm very sad to tell you that not everyone had people there supporting them 🥲 I know at least Matthew had no one there. Back then it made fans angry because ok his parents and sister were in Canada, but his uncle was there and apparently the uncle himself posted that mnet didn't say anything about that event to them.

Its Just Lustfly
