kingdom: legendary war'' round 1 ranking

For the expert and peer votes, it was revea. I am guessing something like this: Haha not Mnet, but Im already planning to watch that new JYP/PSY show (mostly because I find those two so entertaining). Im very thankful that iKON was part of this show, mostly thanks to their atittude which help lossen up the atmosphere ( and a bit of exposure they gained). Finally, TVXQ enter as hosts. Imitation and Kingdom definitely have to help their domestic popularity and the prospect of Mingi returning will be epic hahaha. Darkness, trying to out edgy everyone elses edge. 2nd place: The Boyz 14,905.941 points The song sounded better alongside a performance, but coming after last weeks triumphant Move, the finished product felt a little underwhelming.

The winner of Road To Kingdom, The Boyz, is joining the rest of the groups in Kingdom. ATEEZ is my favorite group out of the competitors, and because of that I know they have more to offer than they showed in this stage. Looking at the others contorted faces because of the stunts was a little off putting to say the least. My ranking is always so different from yours and I think thats why I always come back to this blog. The six groups will compete against each other and release music on streaming sites simultaneously. If I were voting, I dont even know who I would pick. . With that said, this wasnt anything revelatory or life-changing.

Kingdom will feature famous male K-Pop groups. Every day is blursday. What do you want to do? iKON got to go last because they were the group that most other groups thought would be the winners.

They came to life and their energy was just so unreal. 5. iKON One of the rap parts in Miroh ended up being slightly off-tempo. iKON always delivers energy, and that was definitely the case here. I was really looking forward to The Boyzs stage as their track was my favorite. The prisoner/prison guard costuming worked well, even if it felt too predictable. 2. BTOB 3. I think its better if you do that instead of re-capping the entire thing in the blog.

They were the only one that was so smooth and they definitely had fun in that performance. I really want mnet to at least have a limited audience outdoor or something follow COVID restrictions. Im celebrating on behalf of the warring groups, while also fuming at MNET for not making this decision last year. iKons performance is what I liked best because they showed their color as a group where they dont need to change their typical performance style to show something different especially that this is a group introduction stage.

The guys say they havent been on a competition show before, but Id argue that that series was as cutthroat as it gets, even though it was probably fixed from the beginning.

They made use of their numbers and experience well for their stage but seriousness was all over them and I hope they will enjoy more their next performances for Kingdom as the group is an all-rounder in terms of vocal, rap and performance. 2nd place: SF9 2,136.015 points (747.126 + 1,388.889) I feel like the point of the show is to try new stages/styles.

Personally, they werent underwhelming (because some of the others were too OVERwelming) Thankfully, after receiving some throat spray, Inseong is now able to laugh about his Spark bum note during the unit performance round.

BTOB In the context of this show, performing a ballad is actually pretty gutsy, especially first thing out. 1st place: Mayfly: Hongjoong (Ateez), Bang Chan, Changbin, Han (Stray Kids), Minhyuk (BtoB) Ive always considered Ateez as being high level performers but man, The Boyz and Stray Kids look undeniably threatening in their performances. They debuted on March 25th, 2018, under JYP Entertainment. I dont think live singing is by definition superior. PS. The Boyz. Anyway, part of this final rounds score (20,000 points) is dependent on how well these songs ranked on digital platforms. Take Me Home wouldnt count as an original song for this round since its already been released. Personally, I feel like girl groups wind up being a bit more pigeonholed to their sounds and concept, so Queendom was a fantastic way of seeing them tackle something new, adapt another song to their own style, or showing off the talents of individual members that rarely get that opportunity in their own comebacks. Its so cheesy, and I think the performance wouldve benefitted from embracing that cheese rather than attempting to be serious. But even with all the strained edginess, the staging for this was pretty fantastic. But, an excellent performance can elevate a so-so song, and vice versa. I hope theyll show more diverse stages than the RTK groups especially considering how good the cast is, stomp stomps and vigorous arm movements Proceed at your own risk!

All their title songs are amazing though its a shame that they got their first win just recently since 2016, but its a great news to all Fantasys. Until then, we are stuck with (what I believe to be are) mediocre, edm, rap, dance-heavy songs. The remix, energy, and props were great. *fingers crossed*. Thats why its called legendary. Im not so sure about that, but Im definitely rooting for them. Everything bodes well for Ateez and their future. BTOB 4 K-Pop Idols Who Share The Name SunWoo/Sunoo. But, its very early and so much can change as the other rounds unfold. Im quite impressed by Minhyuk for pulling off those new parts and I just love their energy off-stage.

Props are used to make a performance more interesting, obviously, and that metal incorporation is also not new to JYPe groups so their overall performance was well-thought of though they should be more careful with their stunts. Cant wait to watch their next stages^^. Kpop Girl Group Profiles I hope all the groups gained new fans, This is so different from mine lol. iKON took the top spot for me. I tried to search for the song title on Melon and there was a song with the name but different lyrics. For too long, it just felt like they were jumping around without any real storytelling. 2) They did have some badass moments in their performance which did elevate the song. But I really liked how they were so passionate, told a clear story, and sang live. Youd think these guys would be the underdogs of the show, based on the fact that they qualified for Road to Kingdom, but in the time between the two series, their sales have skyrocketed. ATEEZ Honestly I felt Eukwang carried most of the humor of the show(as well as Ateez Wooyoung). The show pits six K-pop boy groups against one another for the opportunity to be crowned K-pop's King.

Wave or Beautiful Pain for me, Miroh in at 3rd. In the end, this was always going to be a popularity contest to some extent. Im sorry but wouldnt the other 4 groups with choreo feel embarasssed after seeing ateez perform live with that level of choreo only to lip synch for their lives? The last performances for Round 1 of "KINGDOM: LEGENDARY WAR" were released on April 15 along with the first half of the results. 2.

Kpop industry is largely about visuals, personalities and performances. Side note: You said Their (sf9) Kingdom run has been hit or miss, but generally on the strong side. but on almost all rounds but one, you put them practically last? Rock is an entire genre itself but they simply skimp over this, and rather just rap and dance over a basic, generic guitar riff. 1st place: Mayfly: Donghyuk (iKon), Juyeon (The Boyz), Taeyang (SF9) *Voting via the Whosfan app for the 1st round took part between April 15 (22:00 KST) April 18 (23:59 KST).

The teasers for episode 2 seem as though the first performances will be cut from the same cloth of: angst, explosions, edge, so Im not hopeful about diversity in performances haha (ill be happy to be proven wrong though! Main rapper Minhyuk filled the other vocalists part which is a big twist even though Melodys are already aware of his beautiful voice. Sf9 and Ikon were okay. I also give a good point to ATEEZ for singing live (even though I also need to immediately cancel my decision : why would you say Hakuna Matata so seriously ?). All the pre-recorded stuff really took the momentum out of the performance, unfortunately. Maybe this was filmed earlier but I hope he continues to appear! At least it was cool in the end. The event also includes those sentimental video messages that tend to pop up during the last episodes of survival series.
