What separates B2ST from groups like SHINee, SJ, TVXQ etc is that their rapper can actually rap. Pretty off-topic, but B2ST Junhyung's acting is pretty decent for an idol. I like him in Monstar so far. ![]() Not sure whether serious. TVXQ/JYJ are k-pop legends. I have been following K-pop for a very long time and I can say no K-pop boy band group in the current generation can top them. Not even Big Bang,SJ,Shinee,Beast can compared to them. Unlike current generation K-pop groups,they actually sing live pretty damn good. | ||

Recording #1 + Show Spoiler + There were so many people wanting to see after school it really surprised me. Almost 200 people turned up in the morning. Japanese people with suitcases straight from the airport, thai people, singapore people. Maybe 3/4s were guys but still maybe 50 girls showed up which always surprises me. I bought a fanpack with the new after school banner and some fancards. While waiting to go into the studio, all the girls mothers passed by us and some hardcore fans recognized them. Also a group of pledis trainees came in which looked like scared 1st graders walking in a big pack. We were told not to take pictures because they were preparing for debut... Inside I took my spot at the side of the stage, right next to the front leftside polestand. I could touch the polestand from my spot. In comes the girls in their red, white and british flag combo from the MV. I saw after school 2years ago when they promoted as Red/blue, but this was at much closer range. Wow so many of them was looking so great, I was very impressed. Lizzy not on stage as she is injured. Before the performance starts, staff have chairs out so its easier for girls to climb, then staff runs out with the chairs. Gaeun starts on the frontside left pole right next to me. I dont know anything about gaeun before and I have not cared. But now I care. She was amazingly beautiful and her poledancing was probably the sexiest thing I have seen in my life. Her double pigtail sailormoon style really attracted me as well. Jooyeon and Uee are also using the leftside pole, but they didnt attract me as much as Gaeun. OK, Jooyeon and Uee on the pole together at the end as special I give you that. Jooyeon almost impaled my hand with her foot when she stepped down from the pole. The performance was a mix of me with my jaw open, heart skipping and eyes flickering madly between the girls. Ive seen alot of groups and performances but this was in a class of its own in sexyness. Recording #2 + Show Spoiler + I couldnt get into the liveshow as there were soo many fans for after school, but after the liveshow they recorded for next week as well. Needless to say from recording #1 I returned for the 2nd one. From some stroke of luck I got the same position as last time, but at the opposite side of stage, so right next to the front right pole. Now was the time to check out Eyoung, Nana and Uee. They were wearing black and pink themed outfits. Eyoung has a fantastic body, really fantastic. I dont think the blond hair suits her though. But she was almost up there with Gaeun. Again I was truly mesmerized unlike any other group Ive seen before. Maybe its the magic of the poledancing.... The first performance was cut maybe 1minute in. Apparently the poles were not clean enough so the girls were slipping. Each of the girls cleaned their pole with detergent using some very suggestive handmotions. Uee as lead poledancer also tested all the poles by climbing to the top and sliding down. While the cleaning took place Jooyeon was chatting with some japanese fans and as she climbed down from the pole she hurt her foot and had to be helped off stage. There was an awkward 10-15min wait until they returned. They recorded 2 further times. Gaeun and Eyoung wow.... These were not on my radar at all before today. The poles has to be readjusted between the performances as they became loose. Uee hit her head on the pole and it seemed to hurt quite a bit from her bodylanguage. I dont like Nana generally, but seeing her and Eyoung do the double spin on the pole at the end from <1m distance. WOW! After AS finished, we had to see EXO record. Apparently EXO fanclub was banned in the morning for bad behaviour, so now after school guys had to stand in as audience. We had some fun screaming "Oppa" to the EXO guys and they were also smiling alot at this. Seemed like nice guys, but compared to bands like Shinee they have a long way left. Fanmeeting + Show Spoiler + Unknown to me there was also a comeback fanmeeting after the recordings!!! What a terrible surprise. The now 150 or so group walked in rows of 4 like a kindergarten class to a nearby park where we orderly got to sat down under strict orders what we could and could not do without risking lifetime ban from the fanclub. After some time the girls came out of an unmarked black van in their 2nd recording outfits. They each introduced themselves and said some words. I dont understand because my korean is bad. Then fans could ask them questions. Some questions were really awkward and fanmeetings are quite awkward in general, but what do I care when the girls look pretty. Its surprising how socially awkward some of the girls were, compared to that they were just poledancing in my face. Some were really shy to talking in front of a crowd. Lizzy of course was the boss. Finally we had a photosession time, and everyone in turn got to shake all the members hands and say some words. Compared to the girlsday signing this time I kept my composure and was able to focus on what I said. They were so beautiful. I was the only white person so I guess they had spotted me earlier. Mostly broken english from them saying it was nice to meet me. Eyoung asked me where I was from. Finally Raina at the end was the best. I said hello raina, she said hello, wow you have really beautiful eyes. I looked in her eyes and said that her eyes looked fantastic. then after this moment of pure happiness the next guy in the fanclub pushed me away. Raina... Here is my own video from the meet. Its taken by my cellphone and out of focus some times, sorry. I was 45mins late for my date at garosugil. I did not use after school fanmeetin as excuse for being late. Girl ranking + Show Spoiler + Gaeun - Looks fantastic, but her face is not perfect I know. But Im sold. Eyoung - great body but face and hair cld be better Jooyeon - has the best face but is a bit too thin. Raina - She was my favourite before today. Actually she looked quite plastic and unnatural in the face. Her legs are unnaturally thin compared to the rest of her bodyshape and she doesnt look healthy. Jungah - Looks really tight Uee - Has the fullest body. Looks healthy. Nana - Thin and tall, just not my type. But looks healthy. Lizzy - Another fav of mine before today, but she was the thinnest of the group. Looked very unhealthy and not just because her leg injury. | ||

I liked it, but it still felt underwhelming to me. Some of it was slightly too forgettable I think and Beautiful Night is a fun song but I didn't think the performances of it were that special. I still enjoy the Not Me dance practice though. | ||

Its not really rigged, unless you count being able to market to a group to fangirls really really well rigging. EXO's album sold an extreme amount, and all those albums sales so far went into their scores this week. I know for their Music Bank win they could have won that off album score alone, thats just what happens when you have that many fangirls. Its not like its a big deal though, and they didn't even beat out any other new big songs by large groups to get their awards anyway. Oh and its not a triple crown, as that generally means winning 3 times for a single music show, which they won't do. I'm just surprised YGBS didn't manage to rig another inki win for CL this week rofl. | ||
