MEOVV Debut Stage First Reveal

 

https://tv.naver.com/l/160006 

theqoo

-Both the music video and song seem underwhelming for a debut. I feel like it doesn’t showcase the girls' charms.

-There's hardly any Korean in the lyrics...

-The member with bangs and the one with their hair tied up perform well.

-Gawon has a lot of charm.

-They're so tall

-This is much better than the music video, a thousand times better.

-Sooin and Narin stand out. They have presence.

-The stage performance is good. It's much better than the music video.

-The song actually gets better the more you listen to it, though??

-It reminds me of BLACKPINK. The song is a bit disappointing, but the stage is okay.

-The song is addictive and I like it. The girls are very charming.

-They seem to have good skills. Please give them a better song.

-Wow, they perform well. You can feel the amount of practice. They were well-prepared rookies.

-Let’s pretend the music video didn’t happen.

-Oh, the music video was really boring, but this is much better.

NMIXX x DAY6's Wonpil See That Challengeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

He looks like a paper humanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

+Fan's Review 

He's standing there blankly, with no part of his body in proper alignment. The way he's lost in his own thoughts, trying to replay a small amount of choreography endlessly. I'm crying because it looks like he's asking for help, but there's nothing I can do for him.


ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

theqoo

-So cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's only memorized the movementsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The way he's standing there is both funny and cuteㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The fact that he wore a white top makes him look even more like paperㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ His upper body top and lower body are moving separately while the movements are being accurately remembered is too funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The starting pose is awkwardㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So cute

-He hit all the beatㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But his moves are weird...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's doing all the moves right but it’s kind of weirdㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But it’s cute

-Wonpil did his bestㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's exactly how I look when I danceㅋㅋㅋ

-It feels like time flows differently around Wonpilㅋㅋㅌㅌㅋㅌㅌㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Face: Really good. Upper body: Okay. Lower body: Not sure what to do.

-Isn’t this a bit cruel?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems like he's doing well but also not wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It’s so cute how he never close his mouth when he's dancingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is he the lead dancer in DAY6?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I seriously want to help him, but there’s nothing I can doㅋㅋㅋㅋ

SBS's Friday-Saturday drama Good Partner would have been better if it had 12 episodes

 

There are comments saying that the main characters' personalities became strange and collapsed.

Many people are saying that the plot that was enjoyable in the early to mid episodes disappeared, and the story also became weird.

After Cha Eunkyung (Jang Nara)'s divorce episode ended, the story suddenly became childish, and the direction seemed to go downhill.

Most viewers feel the show should have ended after the divorce episode, with 12 episodes in total.

theqoo

-Why is the energy suddenly droppingㅠㅠ

-The story line feels so tackyㅠㅠ

-After the divorce, the whole story became boring, so I didn’t even bother to watch it this week.

-It’s getting more and more disappointingㅠ

-I’m thinking the same. If they wanted to portray Cha Eunkyung’s growth and struggles after the divorce, they should’ve gone with a seasonal format. Season 1 could’ve ended with 10 episodes, and in winter, they could return with Season 2 where Cha Eunkyung’s position at work becomes unstable and she faces minor conflicts with her daughter, ultimately growing as a person.

-It’s not easy to fill up 16 episodes perfectly...

-The drama suddenly became outdated and tacky.

-I’m considering dropping itㅠ

-Maybe they’re struggling because it’s their first drama...

-The drama is so cliché that I don’t even want to watch the next episode.

-It got boring after Choi Sara left.

-I stopped watching after episode 10 last week when it got boring, such a shame ㅜㅜ

-I felt like I was watching an old Japanese drama today.

-It suddenly turned into a melodrama.

-I’m just enjoying it regardless..

-Honestly, it feels like it has turned into a completely different drama.

-It’s Jang Nara’s acting that’s kept this show going. Her performance today was amazing, but the script... not so muchㅋㅋ

Which situation is better? 

1. Being happy today but having no idea what tomorrow will bring

I pick 1.
Isn't it possible to be happy tomorrow too?

theqoo

Concert culture that gets mixed opinions from everyone

 

British rock band Coldplay held their first concert in Korea, 19 years after their debut.

"Can we tone down the mass sing-alongs?"

It’s better to sing along vs. It’s better to listen attentively

theqoo

-I just wish people would sing along moderately. I feel like killing someone when they sing the entire song from start to finish.

-I enjoy listening to the crowd sing, especially when the artists love it. But there are times for it. Besides, when it’s not the right time, it’s awkward to see someone singing loudly by themselves.

-I came to hear the artist sing, not the crowd.

-For me, if I just want to focus on the music, I can listen on a music app. I go to concerts to feel the unique vibe shared between the artist and the audience.

-It’s fine when the artist encourages it, but I don’t want people singing loudly throughout the whole concert.

-Just sing when the artist hands over the mic.

-I don’t mind crowd singing in certain parts, but not for the whole song.

-I wish people wouldn’t sing during slow songs. No one came to hear you yell.

-A few sing-alongs are nice, but do it moderately. Go to karaoke if you want to sing.

-I’m all for it! The artist’s voice is way louder anyway, so it doesn’t matter if the crowd sings.

-You’d change your mind if you stood next to someone singing like a dying pig in the audience.
