I Loved Bobby's comment about Stray Kids "it was beyond our expectations. We had a character pop out from a movie, and there was also illusion effect, I think they did a mean job with camera work, too. They are truly the next generation K-pop idols taking the next step up." That right there is the point. I loved every single performance so far in each episode but this was Stray Kids coming out growing and improving each task and That's why they won!! I have literally started listing to the other groups because of this show and I'm happy that I finally get to see the full episodes to see and understand what happened during this time and not just watching shorts or what some pieced together. This was great and showed why I really like Stray Kids!!
Honestly, Seungmin's voice always makes me feel any emotion he refers to in his song, even without even knowing the meaning, I think there are few artists who can do that, I think I repeated his presentation many times, it was incredible 💗💗🙂↕️🙂↕️💗💗
I have rewatched Kingdom multiple times and I always wonder how amazing it would have been if Hyunjin was there with the dance performance team, if Mingi was part of the rap team, if I.N did not loose confidence with his singing and joined the vocal team, and if all of BToB was present. Additionally, though I may get a lot of hate, what if B.I was still part of iKon? Or if SF9 members did not have other projects and focused solely on this? It was a competition that resulted to many great performances but just imagine..
I said this from the beginning, if all of BTOB was there they would have had to pay the production team out of their own pocket for all the EXTRA EDITING they would have to do lol
I know a lot of people felt betrayed when Straykids won. But seeing all the behind scenes, i think our boys really deserved it. They really took into account about their performance review and tried to do better each and every stage. They understood what was judged for on each rounds according to the theme. That was their strength that leads them to victory
@@Rino_know true. Also those people have to consider that international votes were the deciding factor and international fans' have different tastes as compared to a typical Korean audience. Me for instance.... as a metal fan I don't consider skz too loud or noisy. Plus, before watching kingdom, the only other band I had heard of was ateez. If only korean voting was allowed then I'm almost certain that the results would have been different.
@vidiaparamaatmaseeker2130 yeah but it wouldn't make any sense if only koreans can vote, one of the points of the show was to cater to the global audience anyways
Oh 100%. Everyone worked hard but skz was going for it. It was insanely evident on their stage- the songs, concepts , performance , choreo, costumes, theme, stage. Everything from top to bottom was so well executed. Skz was going through a hard time back then, and I think stays know how much harder they tried for their lost one at the time.
Fan votes helped + JYPE 100% supported them. But it was mostly their drive to win like losing was never an option. All the teams are talented and worked really hard. So I felt bad seeing some of them get discouraged whenever their rank go down.
It's really awesome how the vocal unit gave the chance to Seungmin to showcase his amazing vocals and unlimited talent. Even though I didn't understand anything , it was so soothing, it makes my heart calm. ❤
the first time i stan straykids because of this eps, I got goosebumps everytime i heard "STRAYKIDS WORLD DOMINATION!!! STRAY KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!"
I agree! As Yunho from ATEEZ said, this was a legendary performance. I think the vocalists from It's One knew as soon as the performance ended that Mayfly had won the vocal round. I think their teams knew too, but the vocalists especially would have known as fellow singers - you could see it in their faces and body language. The It's One vocal performance was a fine performance but May V's performance was flawless and conveyed the song's emotion perfectly - I had tears in my eyes as i listened to them.
Mayfly vocal's Love Poem just pure talent, skill and their charisma, no fancy flashy stuff around, they just stood on their platform the whole time and sang, but no one would think this is lesser than any other stages. it's quite smart also, bc it's refreshing.
It's interesting to read comments saying "But the Mayfly vocal group would have been so much better with or that this vocalist added!" and so on, because I really think one of the things that made that performance so moving was how much they did with so little--just three voices, beautiful harmony, and the music, kept fairly spare. There is a real art to making the most out of what you have in hand. Eunkwang did a fabulous job with the harmony and part distribution, it was very balanced and highlighted each voice beautifully, and each singer was so secure in their range and emotional take, that it just flowed in performance. The comments by the It's One team really express that. They said "They did all that with just their voices, they provided comfort with their voices" and "That was great teamwork". And the Mayfly vocalists talked about harmony, teamwork, "Let's really deliver our hearts to the audience."
Honestly I love Mayfly and i’m glad they won because I think the rap and vocal round was like a no brainer vote, but I do feel like The One should’ve won the dance round not because Mayfly didn’t deserve it. Their performance was super powerful and impactful, but The One did a pure interpret dance performance while Mayfly did any other cover so The One could’ve at least won that round.
Stay here and love Mayfly too but I have to agree. The Wolf dance was intense and impactful (Maybe that's what the experts wanted?? ) But It's One dance was perfect and so emotional.
I also agree that It's One had a real chance to win in the dance round (whereas Mayfly was definitely the clear winner in the other rounds). I think it just came down to taste/preference. When I first watched Kingdom, I thought Flying unit (Mayfly's dance unit) was the clear winner, but after watching this episode again, I can see how beautiful and unique It's One's dance performance was. Maybe Flying had more initial impact because they literally stacked most of their members into this unit and the performance was similar to something you would see at a year-end show like MAMA (which I think makes sense since they were inspired by EXO's MAMA performance or something like that). I think Mayfly played it smart, while It's One took a creative risk that was worth applauding.
They probably didnt win specifically bc of their faces, hear me out. Many kpop groups dont use their faces when they dance, in mayfly atz did bc they learned to dance in the us and thats how they dance over here. It makes it feel more impactful and brings you in even more than normal and if yoou know Lia Kim she LOVESSSS that, plus add the jumping choreo it was clear they were gonna win. Just my opinion tho
The way innie had his hands joined all the time and the sigh of relief he let out when the vocal unit was performing, I can tell he was as nervous as Seungmin was😭 I adore their friendship so much😭💓
God really took his time making Seungmin cause imagine being talented, handsome, humbleness and good personality all at once. Truly the best vocalist of the generation and a great person overall ❤
I remember feeling really bad for it’s one team, loosing all three rounds must be so devastating. I feel like they also should have included all members, so everyone could participate in these rounds not just main rappers danders vocalists. They did good job though I liked every performance of them. But imo they were not as happy to work together as mayfly team, as if they wanted to do the job and separate already. Idk man I felt so awkward watching them practicing together but I was enjoying their stages and that’s awesome
Definitely! It's One performances were all good, but Mayfly had the extra something, which I believe was their teamwork and clear chemistry. ATEEZ chose their team well.
As for Atiny, even though this is our fandom trauma, I think it was a turning point for our boys and at the same time the introduction to the world of what ATEEZ really is: TALENT AND PURE BEAUTY.
The QUEEN is here! Darn, she sits, dances, and sings like a Queen. LISA!!!! 🤟⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤟 Then go forward and we see Yongbok flashing his abs! I was like, gah!!! Nah, I nearly choked on my drink after seeing that. 🤩
@@arsa1143 Ikon did a Blackpink song before them so there could only be comparisons. Plus they killed it by having LISA as a guest during the performance itself. Almost unfair really though it did live up to the "no limits " brief. And as you may know; Chan and Felix are true Australian and a great many people from the land of Oz use cuss words as regular adjectives and nouns in daily casual conversations. (Cu-t is an example.) So you can imagine what might be said in high stress situations.... In the end skz's set was spectacular 👌 and in a separate league but still.....
Having rewatched this show multiple times this round always left me thinking - a) imagine if Mingi, Changsub and Hyunjin participated, what more could mayfly have created and b) i actually do think the rap and dance battles were much closer, i don’t think if the it’s one team performed everything perfectly their performance would be on the same caliber - and I’m a huge fan of ju-ne’s voice so it’s painful to say. But in general you put music producers, performance experts and ballad gods on one team, so it’s just a bit tipped on the scales.
Just so we're clear skz were not the only people without a member and going through stuff. All groups were missing a member, and San had lost a family member during this time. Do not use their struggles to say that one team wanted it more. They all wanted it and they all worked hard through tough times. They all deserved it, it just came down to who had the most support tbh. I'm an atiny now but at the time my main focus was GOT7 and I clearly remember jyp groups helping skz during this time bc they were the little brothers. They had the support that many on the show didnt.
Yup. He practiced so hard to hit that note & not taken into account how much smoke was going to be released. The song was awesome other than the voice crack. I think Mayfly would have won either way though.
Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
As much as I love mayfly…the dance challenge was so rigged. It’s One should’ve definitely gotten that. I didn’t even watch this when it came out and I’m upset

STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP,,
@@himaririku9254u couldn't be more right if u tried
Imagine if Mayfly perform with Mingi for Rap Unit, Hyunjin for Dance unit, Changsub for vocal Unit
They're already overpower unit even without them
Why aren't in MAYFLY units? Especially Hyunjin, he missed this what collabs and competition.
@@mr.oddinaryguy Mingi & Hyunjin hiatus, Changsub sick (?) or have another schedule
@@sahadeui-hj5tp thank you. Changsub only had missed some battles.... Ok
Omg ikr. But how would it have looked if Peniel and Minhyuk switched places and Minhyuk was in the dance while peniel rapped.
OMG

@@cloche-et-chocolat i like more powerful dances, so i get why mayfly one. its one was more emotional, where maifly was just better dancing wise
Seungmin is rarely nervous! This meant a lot to him.
The way innie had his hands joined all the time and the sigh of relief he let out when the vocal unit was performing, I can tell he was as nervous as Seungmin was😭
I adore their friendship so much😭💓
God really took his time making Seungmin cause imagine being talented, handsome, humbleness and good personality all at once. Truly the best vocalist of the generation and a great person overall ❤
I just remember watching the mayfly and skz performance an unhealty amout of times
1:30:50
Felix: shows his abs
Wooyoung: 💕👄💕 MY SON!
HAHAHAHA😂
I think the real winners in Kingdom are the viewers - we were treated to one amazing performance after another. And we got to see the birth of Mayfly!
I remember feeling really bad for it’s one team, loosing all three rounds must be so devastating. I feel like they also should have included all members, so everyone could participate in these rounds not just main rappers danders vocalists.

Idk man I felt so awkward watching them practicing together but I was enjoying their stages and that’s awesome
I absolutely agree with you. Itzone wasn't as cohesive as Mayfly and it showed even though they did well. It looked more like an IKON thing.
yea kinda..but if im being honest i RLY loved its ones rap unit performance but all the performances were rly impressive.
Definitely! It's One performances were all good, but Mayfly had the extra something, which I believe was their teamwork and clear chemistry. ATEEZ chose their team well.
SKZ mixed 3 things, their biggest song, Blackpink's biggest song, and DEADPOOL!
And the rest was history!
the way i met stray kids because of this cover !! icb that its been so long
1:20 the way Chan called Han when he sleepy is so adorable ❣❣❣
Btw heard sfter this stray kids used Minhyuks apt like a 2nd dorm so the friendship truly did continue. ❤❤❤
As for Atiny, even though this is our fandom trauma, I think it was a turning point for our boys and at the same time the introduction to the world of what ATEEZ really is: TALENT AND PURE BEAUTY.
Wooyoung-niii from Felix " My son !!!" " My boy !!! " 😅, it's so cute 🥰🥰🥰

Yup. He practiced so hard to hit that note & not taken into account how much smoke was going to be released. The song was awesome other than the voice crack. I think Mayfly would have won either way though.
To sing Love Poem in front of Shindong and Donghae this song must be hard. It brings up my sad memories too. But can be healing.
