[BOYS PLANET] K vs G GROUP BATTLE (그룹 배틀) EPISODE 4 ANALYSIS

[BOYS PLANET] K vs G GROUP BATTLE (그룹 배틀) EPISODE 4 ANALYSIS

Comments

I felt Back Door G team had less energy as a group than Back Door K team. Plus the stuff you were saying in earlier videos about costume choices and background choices, I so agree it matters coz it was so hard for me to focus on G team Back Door performance with those white outfits and strong flashy lights, it was hurting my eye just to watch it while the black outfits and dim/dark lighting was easy on my eyes to watch Back Door K team. From what I gathered, everyone has those main vocal, sub vocal, main rapper, sub rapper parts like that and one them just end up also doing the killing part. Or at least that was evident in Back Door. Line wise Ricky was Sub vocal, same as Tae Rae from K team but as you know now the killing part was changed from Krystian to Ricky so Ricky just does the killing part but his position was sub vocal. While Jongwoo did the killing part but his main position was Sub Rapper 2. So killing part is just an extra part one of them gets but they all have either the main vocal, sub vocal, main rapper, sub rapper parts. I so agree with you about K Team Hot Sauce looking like We Dem Boyz..that green puffer jacket Vata had on for Saebbing ("New Thing"). They really do. But I cracked up when I heard you say it.

2nd mission when? i couldn't wait

So the guy that had the voice crack in Hot Sauce wasn't one of the "Hot" Guys. Also the guy who did the high note in K-team is Donggun, the guy who did Criminal during the Star Level Test. And the really stable guy in K-team is Park Hanbin and yes he was the guy with Blue Hair in "The Real". Park Hanbin is definitely someone you should look out for. He's insanely good and does get shown a lot on the show. The guy that did the high notes in "Danger" G-Team, is Yang Jun, one of the Hot Guys. He did end up going on a Chinese show after Boys Planet and briefly talked about his infamous Hot performance and the notoriety he gained from it. I think he said something like he's learned to take this show appearance as a learning experience and knows people don't really have malicious intent when they make funny edits or laughed at the Hot performance, he found it funny too. He actually can sing, I think his performance here was shakey probably because the song is pretty high and in a language he doesn't speak. Also, Zhang Shuaibo is in "Back Door" G-Team, idk if you noticed him since they gave him little to no screen time or lines. Lol the two you can't figure out in "Back Door" K-team as the "sexy man" is Jiwoong the true sexy man with the ohhh yeahh theme song, the one that bit his shirt and flashed everyone and Junyeon aka the really loud funny guy that screamed when he got all star.

Love all your picks and reasonings! I've been having a blast getting to see these performances and knowing that we will be seeing growth from everyone in the future it makes me reallly excited!!!!! Yay to all of us learning the things!

Never thought I'd discover new things about Boys Planet, but this rewatch has been helping! I'd say my MVPs / votes per song for this episode were probably: - Back Door: Jongwoo (K-Killing Point, best lackadaisical attack on Hyunjin's part) - Hot Sauce: Hanbin (K-Leader, there's no question at all. Frankly, he did the overall best in this episode. I was a Hanbin shooter at time of airing and I still am now, he EATS!) - Danger: G and K's centers! Unforch forgot their names, but they both held it down well despite the difficulty! Shoutout to G's center though, if I'm remembering correctly, he was also the leader, and he had both vocal and rap parts for this. Wild. - Burn It Up: K's vocal stand-out. Wow. Didn't even clock him on first watch, but he tore this! Very stable, and didn't stand out negatively at all. And because I don't think I commented on the last episode about this, why not: - Aju Nice: Seungeon (K's main vocal) and Woongki. Both maybe self-explanatory. - Kill This Love: Zhang Hao for sure, but shoutout to my krump king Wang Zihao. Didn't get a lot of love from the show's edit, but very memorable to me. Entirety of G really tore this. - Love Me Right: It's crazy to me he somehow got dogged on at time of airing for this performance, but I don't think any of us can deny that Jay's tone REALLY matched this song and elevated it. What you pointed out about pattern deviation and deciding in that moment whether we accept it or reject it... oh I accepted it. I just gotta give him his flowers for this. Excited to continue rewatching with you! Love your approach and honesty and frankness with everything. Even though I barely understand a word when you get technical, I know it's coming from a place of building up~

Here after watching just 20 minutes but, since I might watch in several parts, I have to say it before I forget: YES you found "sexy guy" aka ZB1's Jiwoong this time, congrats 😂 well to be fair he made it obvious with his abs, and as soon as they disappeared you got confused with someone else, but still! I'll edit later with more... constructive thoughts lol Edit: Back Door K Team is definitely one of my favorite performances this round along with Kill This Love G Team. More than Jiwoong picking the right people for it, they also distributed the parts very well and highlighted everyone's strengths to the max. I'm SO glad that Jongwoo was the center for this, I would have hated for such charisma and talent go unnoticed. As much as I love Yujin, his style when he performs wouldn't have suited the center spot here, especially back then. Park Hanbin in Hot Sauce K-Team (the one you highlighted as their MVP and also did "The Real") is such a captivating guy; he manages to look naturally flawless, but we can still see he spends days and days perfecting every single second of his performances. I can't wait to see how you've reacted to his training methods in episode 4. The other performances in this episode are always painful to rewatch for me, each for their own reasons. You've watched episode 4 already so I'm not spoiling it: between the teams that had no choice but put people who couldn't handle their parts as main vocals, and the ones that couldn't properly get along, some downfalls were clearly written from the very beginning. Thank you for the video!

Goodness!! Love your thoughts here and I love the ones you recommended as top three.. they all were fantastic!!!

Jessica Holyfield

Oh I LOVE your thought process here!! Great points made and I totally agree with you about expectations of cover groups/trainees compared to established groups!

Jessica Holyfield

for your point on cover groups getting grace if they are covering a more individualistic styled group, my experience in a cover group is that you def do nawt get the same grace as an established cause they have a large following of people who love them for reasons outside of how they hit the moves yk. on my cover team before i moved cities, we deliberately cleaned parts from any group that could be seen as messy if we did it ourselves. hmm but also, these are trainees and i don’t think we can give grace like that when it comes to the exact group being covered cause then we’re judging to way stricter dance standards on a group that covers seventeen compared to nct dream when it is supposed to be more about the skills of the trainees/their skills in a group setting first and then it’s about how they portray the emotions of the song mostly i think, not necessarily how they portray the group. ugh i love watching you react to these and seeing how you process and being able to come up with my own new thoughts too, i can’t wait for the episode reaction :)

So yeah overall I agree with you for every song here x) For Back Door, gosh K team was so good. Actually for this mission I think my top three performances overall are Back Door K team and Kill This Love G team tied at first and then Love Me Right K team. The energy the guys had for Back Door was just so good, and all the members of the team matched the level of energy. They were really looking like a team. Both the tones of their vocalists and rappers worked really well with the song also. Bonus point for K team, the MVP for me here is clearly Jongwoo (the killing part of K team) like dude perfomed for his life there. The charisma and stage presence, the energy (even that scream towards the end) like it was obvious he loved every minute of it and that made it even more enjoyable for me. The G team didn't do really bad but their energy overall was not as good, and they weren't as stable and powerful in their vocals like you said. Ricky stood out obviously, (first just because it's Ricky) and also as he was the killing part. I also just really like the tone of his voice, but in some parts he still lacked a little more power/energy with the delivery. The Hot Sauce teams both had their issue, but I would go for Team K as it was mainly one member that didn't sound really good while the other members did well. Also the contrast between him and Park Hanbin (the one that was your MVP) is really not helping for him. Everytime Hanbin sings just after him (or before) it suddenly sounds like it's a studio recording, and it's just the backtrack playing. Hanbin is just so good. And the killing part stood out a lot more, the dance break towards the end was more satisfying for K team. It could be camera work, but I think it's also thank's to Jihoo (the killing part) that really did great especially on this part. Danger... I'm an ARMY and I'm always happy to see BTS songs on survival shows but arf.. It often ends up being complicated. Like you pointed out doing covers of self-produced groups is always tricky. And in the case of BTS (and some groups like Stray Kids) their rap parts are not the usual rap we can hear in majority of k-pop. Especially for BTS in their early years when they were really trying to show what they were capable of, on the technical side it's a lot more complicated. And that's why the trainees struggled a lot with the rap parts. So I would give the MVP to Seunghwan (the rapper from K team, that did the second verse and you said had good charisma). For Burn It Up, while none of the team did bad overall it felt.. lacking somehow. Like there is this feeling that I'm definitely watching trainees when I'm watching them. The majority of them were stable, but they weren't anyone who really stood out vocally and quite a few members (in both teams) lacked energy with the dancing for me, and also the projection (some of tem were hard to hear). I would still give it to K team overall, mostly because of the more obvious voice cracks for G team but yep they're still pretty close for me.

I find it strange that you were called racist for stating something Mnet themselves displayed that the trainees under the K group come from companies that train their members for these specific skill sets whereas only a couple groupings of people in G represented companies. It’s unfortunate how in the casting of the show Mnet didn’t truly try to make it equal in skill set representation because that would lead to more competitive challenges between G and K…. Bless it 🥲

Jessica Holyfield

It is truly unfortunate because I could hear the potential vocally!! I’m really rooting for him if we get to see him in another challenge!

Jessica Holyfield

Unfortunately I was called racist because I agree with you that the only G-group performance that should win was Kill this Love. You can tell the difference between Korean training and other asian countries, and it's not just for Boys Planet. Another survival show I watched Universe Ticket, the good vocalists who also could dance were mostly Korean and the trainees who could dance but were, I guess I'll be blunt, borderline tone deaf were mostly Japanese. It makes sense when you think about it. Many groups that have a mix of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc. the Main Vocalists are usually Korean, and the Main Dancers are usually Japanese.

So in Kteam guy who struggled in “danger” is Ichan, I believe he was sick so that could’ve affected his stamina and breathing? But it also seemed like he choked and just went blank vocally. Which is unfortunate because Ichan actually sings pretty well. He previously competed on I-land, the show that formed Enhypen.
