Tbh out of all the girls I can clearly see Ruka’s identity as an artist. She has the clear distinct vibe/image/sound..she knew how to put a performance together to show her different sides. If you noticed, Ruka likes to do mash ups she did it in her the preview/1st video performance that you mentioned. She did the same in this solo stage performance.. “Astronaut In The Ocean” is by Masked Wolf is an Australian rapper and the song was released in 2021. It became viral due to TikTok and I love that Ruka put her own charm and style to it. The next song is a K-POP song by the one and only QUEEN CL formerly leader/main rapper/composer of 2NE1 aka LEGENDARY YG GIRL GROUP..they were the OG girl crush/girl boss concept/image. Which is kind of funny because Ruka does give off the 2nd generation rapper/artists style, sound, and image. Her stage presence, rap delivery, and unique rap cadence is very OG YG hip hop. She legit embodies YG HIP HOP which is what Yang Hyunsuk, rap trainers, and dance trainers said about Ruka since Day 1. Ruka wasn’t lying when she said she is the MONSTER in BABYMONSTER without her they’re just BABY. She brings that mature, hip hop, and girl crush image/confidence.
I'm a OT7 since day 1 but as you asked about our favourite top 3 solo... I'll give my personal favourite - 1. Haram 2. Ahyeon 3. Chiquita and Rora (Chiquita just because she had COVID and had way less time to practice for solo as she HAD to give her time to group missions (dance and singing both) but she didn't let that affect her solo performance and as a 13 year old to have guts to perform after having COVID just 2 weeks before D-Day should be appreciated , many adults don't have thet courage in them) (Does that mean I didn't like pharita,Asa,Ruka's performance? NO... Absolutely not it's just that i enjoyed other 4 performances more than them)
Automatic thumbs up for you always, KJ. One last note, when you first announced you were reacting to Last Evaluation series I struggled to not spoil anything for you. It was hard. I had to choose my words carefully but all I could think was wait until you hear Haram. My opinion...best vocal performance thus far. Everyone thus far has been very good but this one took me to a different level. Can't wait for Ep 7.
I am enjoying following your journey here and seeing you grow to love these artists the way I do. May I suggest you also react to the members "character playlists"? They are all very short but give a nice glimpse into the trainees personalities. Also, there are four Last Evaluation Behind the Scenes episodes that show the girls doing activities away from the training process. There are no spoilers and it is good to see them interacting away from the pressure of the evaluations
Was I sleeping on Haram? Yes... Was it until this episode? NO... I really Noticed her capabilities in "Don't know what to do" Babymonster performance and now she's one of my favourite vocalist in k-pop (I don't have bias in Babymons7er, I love all 7 of them)
Ah yes! Everyone is sleeping on Haram until this episode after this she started to be notice more and more by people. This particular cover manage to enter the billboard hot 100 trending song at #8 that month. 🤭
The emotional Chiquita, the cool Ruka the elegant Haram.Some discuss how YG will be able to manage a group in which it has put together these very different peculiarities, added to the other 4, and it would seem impossible that they can coexist together in a group but. ..you will see that YG will combine 7 diversities to convey them in an explosive combination!
What's great about Haram is she isn't covering songs but making it her own rendition..all her solo performance was so different from the original songs..she isn't an IDOL.. she's an ARTIST.
19:46 You see, this is exactly why i commented under your "introducing Ahyeon" reaction that "Don't judge then now only based on their live performances, give them chance to show more and then decide your favourite" when you said "you didn't think that Ahyeon was in your 'favorite' list" in that video....
A surprise double drop from you today, Konni June! Much appreciated! These young ladies are amazing and I’ve really been enjoying your journey with them. Please don’t make us wait long for episodes 7 and 8.
Annyeon haseyo KJ. Thank you so much for doing these back to back. Where do I start with my comments? Oh, yeah, Chiquita. Chiquita is Chiquita. I think she may have been feeling some effects from her bout with Covid but her tone is so rich and creamy, natural, that it wasn't noticeable to me at all. And she also shows good emotions at her age. Ruka, unnie (oldest), She is so reserved in real life and even when they are vlogging but when she gets on stage she flips the switch and shows us her YG swag. As you said, she oozes confidence from ever pore on her skin. Fun to watch and listen to. Her diction should improve as she gains experience but it is tough to understand every word when she speeds up the flow. Haram...Jazmine Sullivan is an amazing R & B singer and this might be the most ambitious cover in the evaluation. Haram is In my top 2 vocalists. She showed swag, confidence, range, and attitude. She has has great vocal technique and good range and she wrote her own lyrics (Korean part). FIRE!!! Haram not initially in your top 3 shows how difficult it is to choose a bias. They all bring something unique and amazing to the group. #OT7 Sorry for the lengthy comments. Annyeong, Bob
Great Reaction Konni June! Really glad you decided to do two episodes! Wanted you to experience the Haram experience she really gave us a wake up call! I listen to Harams cover everyday and never get tired of it! She actually made Billboards top 10 daily trends she was up there with the big names like Seventeen, Taeyang, IKON and Jackson Wang! I was watching a Top 100 Music Videos thus far in 2023 and BABYMONS7ERS made #28 with 49 Million Views! Course Jisoo was #1 with about 350 Million Views! Looking forward to episodes 7 & 8! Ahyeon, Ruka and Chiquita with Rora as honorary mention!🧸🙏🏻

Haram killed this performance. So many people were sleeping on her vocals.
It *is* their last evaluation. The individual songs , the group song, and the group dance are all the same evaluation.
Tbh out of all the girls I can clearly see Ruka’s identity as an artist. She has the clear distinct vibe/image/sound..she knew how to put a performance together to show her different sides. If you noticed, Ruka likes to do mash ups she did it in her the preview/1st video performance that you mentioned.

I'm a OT7 since day 1 but as you asked about our favourite top 3 solo... I'll give my personal favourite -
1. Haram
2. Ahyeon
3. Chiquita and Rora (Chiquita just because she had COVID and had way less time to practice for solo as she HAD to give her time to group missions (dance and singing both) but she didn't let that affect her solo performance and as a 13 year old to have guts to perform after having COVID just 2 weeks before D-Day should be appreciated , many adults don't have thet courage in them)
(Does that mean I didn't like pharita,Asa,Ruka's performance? NO... Absolutely not it's just that i enjoyed other 4 performances more than them)
Ruka and Haram my favourite performance in all performances these two killed this

Haram OWN this ep for sure. I love seeing ppl finally stop sleeping on this one of main vocals of gen 4 🤗
What's great about Haram is she isn't covering songs but making it her own rendition..all her solo performance was so different from the original songs..she isn't an IDOL.. she's an ARTIST.
