Today was really dull, but thanks to MCountdown, if I endure just one more day, it's already the weekend! Totally lucky Vicky~

Pessimistically Optimistic: The glass is half empty (but at least it's not empty)

Optimistically Pessimistic: The glass is half full (and it sucks that it's not full)

Wonyoung-istic thinking: I was planning to drink water right after practice, and only half a glass of water is left!! It's too much to finish, but too little to leave. I was hoping exactly for half a glass of water. Totally lucky Vicky~

The person in front of me bought all the bread left. Luckily, I ended up getting the freshly baked ones. The goddess of luck is truly on my side.

While this incident may raise doubt about our multi-label system, we will continue to improve."

theqoo

-What, you're only sorry only to shareholders?

-Why did you deceive us? Did you mess up the gaming industry like this too?

-Don't ruin the entertainment industry and just go away.

-If you still think firing one person will solve everything, you're stupid for real.

-Seriously, get lost.

-Labels should be run like Kakao, you guys are failures.

-How can shareholders trust your label after seeing this mess?

-Instead of apologies, resign.

-Bang Sihyuk, Park Jiwon, and other executives should all leave.

-Honestly, what role does Park Ji-won have? What tasks are assigned to him? What did he actually do this time?

-If you're really sorry, resign.

-If you're sorry, show it through action... Leave.

-It would be better if you leave.

-Only caring about shareholders, huh?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Take responsibility and leave.

-Only shareholders matter for you?

-He's really ncompetent and have no conscience

-You really can't do your job, huh?

Performance

-The camera work in the actual performance is hilariousㅋㅋㅋ

-They're really doing well. MCountdown, reflect on this. Did you really have to shoot the choreography like that?

-Cutting to the crowd instead of the dance break...

-Wow, the fans' cheers are so loudㅋㅋㅋ They're cheering so well.

-Wow, the choreo is so intenseㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, they're killing it.

-Wow, the fans' cheers are really loudㅋㅋㅋ

-The live sounds even better on the fancam.

-Wow, it looks much better on the fancam, the choreo is really intense...

-Wow... How did they come up with that choreography?

-The live performance is insane.....

-Fortunately, the cheers are well heard on the full cam. It's rewarding to have shouted so hard after watching the live broadcast with such low volume.

-This is K-pop.

-Did Coups lose weight?

-The choreo is insaneㅋㅋㅋ It's different from watching the music video.

-It's so cool, seriously.

-Coups and Jeonghan are so gentleㅜㅜ They said their legs hurt, they worked hardㅜㅠ

-I can't stop watching, the live performance is insaneㄷㄷㄷ

-It's great to have live performances right from the first week...

-The stage set is amazing, the concept is good, and the performance is really good too.

-The choreography is good, and all the members are really pretty and talented

-The outfits are unique and good, and so is the song.

-The stage and outfits are nice, but the pants are disappointing.

-The pants are a bit disappointing, but everything else is pretty. The hair accessories are gorgeous, and the stage setting too.

-Wonyoung, how much more beautiful do you want to get???

-The main vocalist is extremely pretty.

-The main vocalist is really good at live performances.

-The singing, styling, and the girls'' live performances are all really, really good, but I'm a bit disappointed with the choreography...ㅠㅠ I think it would have been better if they had gone for a more hip-hop style.

-The main vocalist really stands out this time.

-The choreography doesn't seem to suit them, it's bland... Besides that, the girls are too pretty and good at singing, everything's great!!

-Princess Wonyoung is so lovely.

-Even though they still used AR here, it seems like they're putting in a lot of effort to perform live, which is good.

-Oh, it's not lipsyncing?? It seems like they've improved a lot in live performances, they're good.

-Among the 4th Gen idols, IVE seems to be the most hardworking on stage.

Seventeen practically raised Samuel

theqoo 

-Wow, it's been so long since the last time I sawSamuelㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wasn't he in Produce 101?

-Wow, this is somehow touching.

-He's the kid that Seventeen raisedㅠㅠㅠㅠ So good to see that he's been doing well.

-No way, he was smaller than Jihoon... He's grown so muchㅠㅠㅠ I heard he's making a comebackㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Wow, it's so nice to see Samuel again.

-It's been so long since I saw Samuel and Woozi together, it feels nostalgic.

-Wow, what's Samuel up to these days? ㅠㅠ

-Wow, Woozi is working hardㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's the kid Jihoon used to carry around ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-That baby was smaller than Wooziㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-Samuel was raised by SEVENTEENㅠ He was even smaller than Woozi, but he grew up wellㅠㅠ

-Oh right, they trained together. It's been a long time I saw Samuel.

-He grew up a lotㅠㅠ

-Wow, Samuel... ㅠㅠ It's nice to see he's still doing well.

-Samuelㅠㅠ Jihoon used to carry him around so much... It's good to see himㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The youngest member of IVE, Leeseo, introduced herself, saying "I'm 17 years old in Korean age. I was born in 2007." Kim Jaejoong, who was born in 1986, was taken aback to hear that, saying, "So there's a 21-year age difference between us."

Then, when Leeseo said she wanted to address Kim Jaejoong as 'Uncle', he responded, "Hearing 'Uncle Jaejoong' hurts my heart." In response, Leeseo suggested, "Should I call you Oppa then?" However, Kim Jaejoong replied, "No, that's not it either. It feels a bit strange. Don't force it. You can call me 'Ajusshi', or even 'Grandfather'"

theqoo

-Wow... He's old enough to be her father🥲

-Still, he said it's a bit strange to have her call him Oppaㅋㅋㅋ

-Uncle Jaejoongㅋㅋㅋ But when she tried calling him 'Oppa,' he immediately said that's not itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-????????? 21-year difference?

-I understand how he feels. When someone calls me 'Aunt', it feels weird because they're not my niece or nephewㅋㅋㅋ It's not like I want to be called 'Unnie' either, but it just doesn't feel right, you know?ㅋㅋㅋ

-I get what he means. Maybe calling him 'Sunbae' would be better.

-Grandfather??ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What do you mean 'Grandfather'?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just calling them 'Sunbae' would be fineㅋㅋ

-Leeseo looks mature and Kim Jaejoong just doesn't age... So the 21-year age difference doesn't look obvious at allㅋㅋㅋ It's not a big deal!!

-With that age gap, calling him 'Oppa' doesn't make senseㅠㅋㅋ 'Uncle' or 'Sunbae' would be better.

-The article title is written to stir up controversyㅋㅋ If you don't read the article, you'll misunderstand.

-But really, Kim Jaejoong takes care of himself wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He doesn't seem like an old man ㅠㅠ

-Honestly, 'Oppa' just doesn't sound right. Isn't the word 'Sunbae' more fitting at times like this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh no...

-There's a part that feels oddly similar.

-The melody in the beginning seems similar.

-Wow, it's exactly the same.

-Isn't it sampling?

-They definitely sampled when making the song, although it's not necessarily agreed upon in terms of copyright - that's plagiarism.

-Isn't it too short to call it plagiarism?

-It's the same...? The melody line is too identical.

-The intro is too similar.

-It's not just similar, it's exactly the sameㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They probably did this on purpose? Aiming for noise marketing.

-If it's sampling, usually they introduce the song in the description. Like, "This track is sampled from another song."

-It's too identical, it must have been bought, it can't be real.

-They probably just gonna try to quiet this down with money again.

-Isn't this insane?????

-If it's this similar, it's likely sampling, but wouldn't it be mentioned in the album credits?

-Wow... Again???? What is HYBE doing as a company?? It seems like they can't produce anything without copying from someone else.

-I'm not sure what the legal standard for plagiarism is, but it can't be this similar by chance..

-They might have bought the same melody sample for both songs.

Shin Seulgi talked about her father more than she talked about herself. It seems like the show invited the wrong guest. Shin Seulgi's father, Shin Yongho, should've been the one sitting in the guest seat. 

Throughout the broadcast, Shin Seulgi only shared episodes about her father, Shin Yongho, a director of a plastic surgery clinic. From the moment she introduced herself, she didn't leave out stories about her father. She even revealed his real name. She said, 'My dad is friends with senior Kim Gukjin. They've gone golfing together several times. My dad usually doesn't praise others much, but he praised senior Kim Gukjin for being good at golf.'

She continued, saying, "My father is a renowned plastic surgeon known for his medical volunteer work. He personally performed surgery on a child from Myanmar who had a large growth on her head." Then she added, "But actually, I only knew that my dad was a doctor, I didn't know the details until now. It's fascinating."

Hearing this, Kim Gura asked, "Did your father have a big plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam?" Shin Seulgi replied, "Well, something like that, but I don't know much about it..." Then Kim Gura asked, "He's kinda wealthy, right?" Shin Seulgi replied, "Yes... people... call me 'diamond spoons'." 

Shin Seulgi continued, "In everyday life, I don't feel anything special... But one day, I just called my dad. But then my dad was panting on the other end of the phone. So I asked, 'Dad, what are you doing?' And he said, 'I'm currently racing penguins in Antarctica.' So I asked, 'What are you talking about?' And my dad said he went to Antarctica to run a marathon." She recalled the incident at that time.

She continued, "My dad has a strong sense of adventure, so he even climbed up to 5,800m of Everest. Because of that, I was really worried about my dad's endless challenges, but he said, 'There's one thing you don't know. When you go to Antarctica, there's a cruise ship nearby, and when you go to Everest, there's a helicopter. So, you don't have to worry at all.'"

Despite being someone who could easily rise to stardom with her own abilities and talents, she continued to emphasize her plastic surgeon father and her family's wealth as her selling points.

Some actors have deliberately hidden the fact that they are celebrities' children and have produced results with their own abilities.  What the public wants to know is not about Shin Yongho's credentials, but Shin Seulgi who just made her debut. 

theqoo

-She really did talk a lot about her dad

-I watched it and it seems like all she did was to answer the questions she was asked. But somehow, stories about her dad are the only ones that aired on TV.

-I'm sure she talked about other things, too. There must've been some editing.

-Who is this?

-Why so mean? She was just answering questions the panelists asked her.

-The title is really mean...

-If you're jealous, say it
 ㄴHonestly, I'm really jealous

-It seems like the reporter got really jealous...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Anyway, she did really well in Pyramid Game

-The article was so maliciously-written

-Maybe she was invited to talk about her background? Or maybe she's a newcomer who doesn't have any hit works yet?

-It's 'Radio Star', she only answered questions she was askedㅋㅋㅋ Reporters write articles so maliciously to gain views these days

-The reporter must've been quite envious to write this...

-Yeji, if you're jealous, just say it~

-The reporter is so mean;; I watched the whole show and that was the only thing the MCs asked her. 

-Her dad owns a building worth 100 Billion KRW, it's worth boasting aboutㅋㅋㅋ
