EP 3 Thoughts

Why do I always feel like there a bias against foreign trainees? Because of that, I find myself rooting for the G teams versus the K teams. Aju Nice was a snooze fest and they didn’t do Seventeen justice. The KTL G team was so clearly superior to the K team, although I have to commend their efforts. Highlight of the ep was definitely Jay and his outstanding vocals. I can’t imagine any other trainee will match his impact this round.

NW: Boys Planet (2023)

I just watched the first episode of Boys Planet (I know I'm super late). I went in expecting little but was pleasantly surprised by the talent on display and the minimal scripted bits meant to boost so and so's popularity. My favorite trainees so far are Haruto and Sung Hanbin. My favorite moment was definitely Lip J and Hanbin tutting and whacking (played that part over and over again). I really felt like I was watching SDC; it was that good!

青春有你2 (Youth With You) Vocab

Has anyone else been watching 青春有你? I’ve been watching it for both entertainment and listening practice. I think it’s already helped improve my listening a lot!

Here are some common words on the show that I’ve compiled:

舞台 wǔtái - stage (based on my observations, they seems to use this to refer to the physical stage but also in a more abstract way to talk about a performance) 位置 wèizhi - position, place, seat (I’ve seen this used for a physical spot but also more abstractly when talking about rankings) 训练生 xùnliànshēng - trainee (I have also seen 练习生 used) 舞蹈 wǔdǎo - dance, dancing 导师 dǎoshī - tutor, teacher (this is what they call the mentors, aka Ella, Lisa, and Jony J)
