'WHO IS NEXT: WIN' WINNER Fashion Finder - Part 1

It's time for WINNER Fashion Finder!!

After so many episode of WHO IS NEXT: WIN, I decided to make fashion appreciation post  for this five adorable boys. I started to falling in love with this boys and their fashion because of Kang Seung Yoon and his flower pants kkk. Then, I started to curious about the other 4 boys too, especially Jinwoo with his Hoodies kkk. After searching in many online shop and website I started to realized that these boys is not just another boy! kkk. Why? well, actually their outfits are not usual. They always wear something that is catchy and branded. In the earlier episode I think they still wearing something affordable for a trainees, but after 3-4 episodes I think they have stylist to style them to look good in camera (just maybe) and also I started to realize that these boys often used same cloths or same brand. Well let's just see kkk

Alert! This may not be accurate, because I just search it by myself,so if you wanna correct it, just comment :)

First, we have the boys underwear gifts from Seunghoon. Remember this episode? it's before their June Monthly Evaluation. He said that wearing good underwear in a special day will make them lucky kkk. Seunghoon said that he bought it because it was discount kkk. They wear Cheap Monday Stretch Briefs which costs €17.95. Maybe team B has friendship ring, but Winner have Friendship underwear kkk

Second, we have Namsong Couple. Who is Namsong? Namsong is Nam Taehyun and Song Minho, Winner fans usually call them Namsong coz their adorable relationship in the reality show. They wore Petit Bateau x kitsune Caroline T-Shirt which costs £60.6.

Then, we have Kang Seung Yoon, the reason why I did all of this kkk. Among the 11 boys, he is the unique one for me. His fashion style is the most appealing because of this Flower Pants. Kang Seungyoon wears Joyrich Sunrise Blossom Floral Patterned Sweat Pants which costs $120.00. Just look at the price, omg!

And we also have Lee Seunghoon, the stylist of Winner kkk. Actually i don't really know what brand he uses. I remember he said he use replica, maybe that's why i don't really recognize it. For this pic, He wears H&M Sweater. This sweater is really adorable, need to buy it soon kkk

I think that's enough for part 1, let me have a time to figure what brand the boy use and I'll post it in part 2. Don't forget to watch tonight special ep 11 in Daum and YG -Life!!

YG Entertainment’s ‘WHO IS NEXT: WIN’ Episode 10 (Final Round) - A Review by giditopi

And The WINNER is........

Yap! This is the last episode of WIN and also The Final Battle that will determine which Team will debut as WINNER. This Episode is a live battle performance held on 25th October 2013 at Seoul's Songpa-gu in the Olympic SK Handball Stadium. Fans, Family, Media and even YG Family (except TOP) all attended to see who is The WINNER. This live battle opened by Psy (in a big screen, not the real Psy kkk) and, also there's Daesung and Yoo In-na as MC. This time, there are 4 types of voting, Daum, Kakao Talk, Fantasy Runners and live SMS, and fans must vote before the live battle ended. 

The battle started with Team A's first mission, Same Track Different Arrangement, Just Another Boy. The song is arranged by Teddy, Nam Taehyun, Song Minho and Kang Seungyoon , and the lyrics is written by Nam Taehyun, Song Minho and Lee Seunghoon. They prepared everything together from melody, dance until their studio version. Their stage is awesome, they used the stage almost perfectly. There's long haired Taehyun lying  in a sofa (omg) and then one by one the boy coming and they sing it. The song is pretty good for the opening of the show. The dance and their stage presence is also good. The lyrics show us that they're really confidence. Well, honestly i really love the chorus 'Na oneul michigesso~~na michigesso~' it's really addictive. But, it's sad that Jinwoo got less part in this song. Taeyang said that they've improve a lot.

 Team A performing Just Another Boy

Now it's time for Team B's version of Just Another Boy. Team B's version is about single boy and composed by Teddy, Bobby&B.I and lyrics wrote by Bobby&B.I. FYI: all of them are single. Ok, calm down noona fans!! kkk I'm also surprised, i mean they're sooo handsome and cute but they're single kkk. They also prepared simple dance, so viewers can dance with them. The dance made by Bobby. As for their performance, the rappers did well as usual, the vocal doing good this time, especially Junhwe and Jinhwan, but i think when it comes to Yunhyeong&Donghyuk part, the moods become a bit down, coz their power is not good as the others. CL compliment them because it;s cute and entertaining. There's also special stage from maknae line ( Lee Hi, Akdong Musician and Bang Yedam). They Perform Officially Missing You and it was good especially Bang Yedam :)

The Battle continue with Dance battle. Team A dancing in Jamie Cullum's version of Don't Stop The Music. It's a mellow melody, and Lee Seunghoon made this dance more sincere, because usually they dance to look cool on stage. Their dance this time,  for me, is the best Dance from all of the dance, even from JYP's amazing dance. We can see their sincerity in their dance and expression. Lee Seunghoon deserved Standing Ovation from all the viewers i think. And, in this dance you can see another charm from our maknae, Nam Taehyun, he's twirling (part of breakdance i guess) omg!! Even you can see Tablo's amazed expression and Taeyang's proud! here is the dance interpretation, well YOU MUST READ! kk
As for Team B, they dance Shake The World by GD and Turn Up The Music by Chris Brown, they want it to be powerfull and masculine and they did it! They're really on fire, and we can even see Donghyuk's abs! OMG!!They also made a adlibs with their hips dance kkk. This performance also makes Minzy falling love kkk.

Team A dances performance

There're also videos from Bobby's family in USA, they felt sorry because they can't attend the Final. I almost crying at that time :'( MCs also got interviewed with Taehyun's mom, she said that she felt thanks that his son doing his best, and there's also Taehyun's lil brother, and he is soooo cute, omg my noona feels is coming again kk. I think his family genetic is awesome, his mother is also really pretty. Then there's B.I's mom with his cute lil sister, Hanbyul. Omg, she is really cute, B.I's mother said that at home B.I is not that like what we used to see on the TV, he's more mature because of joining YG.

Yep, this is the last battle. Self-Composed song. Team A got a problem because they have to change their song,and it was D-10. Damn YG, he want more stronger song rather than Today. They changed it into Go Up. This song composed by Seungyoon, and lyrics made by Seungyoon, Mino and Seunghoon. The lyrics mean that they can't be held back anymore, and let's get up. Mino write the lyrics about the hearts of 11 trainees for his rap while Seunghoon talked about how much he has develop. The melody and their lyrics is awesome. The chorus is also catchy, so we can easily follow them and sing along. For me this composition is complete. Every member has their own part and they did really well. Once again, you'll see Tablo's amazed expression. He said that he really want to buy his song at that time, this song is complete. YG also praised Team A because their ability to make amazing self-composed song, not only Seungyoon but also Mino and Taehyun can composed well.

Team B's self composed song is Climax. This is the story of their own, yes i mean all of them write the lyrics. In D-3, it's B.I's birthday, Happy Birthday Hanbin!! the member also gave him surprised. Their stage opening was Donghyuk playing Piano and Bobby's rap. At that time, i started to know this is going to be good. And there's B.I solo part, omg that is really touching, even i don't what he's saying and only just seeing his expression and the way he talks. CL said that she felt so touched by this performance and she even startling when said it. YG also felt touched and praised it especially B.I's part. This time i feel that every member has his own part, and Junhwe's voice is really good. After read the translation, well if I was there I'll probably crying. Another heartbreaking part is when Bobby sent his message to his mom, he's all crying :'(

After heartbreaking moments, there's special guest waiting! he's G-Dragon! uwaaaa he sang crooked and idk why he didn't sat on the YG Family place, hmm. And finally the voting closed! Member give their last speech and they started to crying too. Actually this takes a long time and makes my heart more flutter and curious. But then Daesung said it. OMG.

And The WINNER is Team A!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

At that time I was crying too. I'm happy for Team A that they're finally win this battle. The background song is Go Up, and well that makes me more crying kkk. Also feel bad for Team B, i really hope they'll be a twist that they'll debut together, but no, there's not. Let's support team A as WINNER and hope they'll have super awesome debut, and for Team B,let's pray that they're not disband.

YG Entertainment’s ‘WHO IS NEXT: WIN’ Episode 9 - A Review by giditopi

Are You Ready For The Final??? What's the boys Final Mission this time?? 

Final Battle is near! It's D-1. OMG, we've been through this battle a lot. 9th episode, is not the last episode but, this episode gonna be the last episode that we can see the boys interview, unreleased videos and their practice routine. This episode show the boys in their first fan meeting in 12th October 2013 held in Yongdeungpo T Shopping Mall. It's so cute that the boys wondering if there will be someone who's coming for them kkk. Well, actually more than 3000 people coming for them. 3000 people!! and they haven't debut yet! The crowd is just awesome, but what caught my eyes the most is Nam Taehyun's fans, yes, the hanbok girl! She went to Taehyun and did a formal bowed to him in front of everyone! kkk. The boys reactions? They're very very shocked and very thankful for the fans love for them.

Team A&B in Hig-Touch event

So, what is their missions? First, Self-Composed song. Second one is Dance, and the last one is *drumroll* Same Track from Teddy but different arrangement. Teddy's track is 'Just Another Boy', for 2NE1tv and BIGBANGtv fans, you must be familiar with this song. 

For their Self-Composed song, Team B's concept is their 3 years practice in YG, and their theme is Climax. Bobby used his wishes to meet his mother after separated almost 3 years, while B.I writes lyrics with the topic not having any regrets for the last stage. For Team A, since they have 3 composer, Kang Seung Yoon, Nam Taehyun and Song Minho, so they asked YG whose track they will use for the final, and Kang Seung Yoon's track is the chosen one. Team A's concept song title is Today. As usual, he's not working alone, the rappers also help him making lyrics.

For the dance, Team A's concept is about how much your love for music and dance using Seunghoon's personal choreography and Team B will use GD's 'Shake The World' track and they will rip one of the member shirt, the candidates are Bobby vs Donghyuk! And I was like, guys you're too young to do that kkk.

For Teddy's mission track, Team A will have a concept that as usual boys, they're just like dummies and very laughable, but when it comes to a music, they're very cool. Team B's concept is they're OK with their single status, but they also need love, just another boy.

In this episode, they also have jacket photo shooting for their album, if they win. Donghyuk also went to his father cemetery and one of the most important, in their D-10 to Final Battle, both team hold barbecue  party together, they shared that they're feeling burdened because only 1 team will win, so Jinhwan said that he suggested the boys to go to YG's office and kneel down, so no one will be disbanded. They also shared that this battle changed them a lot, "it's not growing standards, but it's evolution standards" said Mino. And, they started to talk about their first impression of each others. Junhwe said that Jinwoo looks like Japanese Actor, coz he's so handsome. Jinwoo said that B.I looks like someone who;s incredibly talented coz he's doing moonwalk in the bathroom. Bobby said that he hated Mino at first, because he rapped very well and doing hat tricks very well too kkk. Mino said that he's scared of B.I. Even Bobby said that at first 2 weeks, they still talk in formal hahaha and they started to tease Taehyun, because his first impression was really different. He also being teased coz he's the only one kneel down in front of YG in their evaluation.Junhwe's first impression is good coz he's so passionate. They also wish that after this battle ends, they're still in YG and being YG family.

The Last Interview. Mino said that he learned a lot about Teamwork and there's no reason for every member to lose this battle. Yunhyeong said that he can feel that the hyung also treated him as a real family. Junhwe said that there'll be a happy ending for them. Seunghoon said that becoming YG Family is his dream for along time, so that he prepared a lot, but after then there's small ending, he also want to feel become no.1. because he never felt that, so WINNER is his hope,. Jinhwan said that the final battle will be their best performance. Taehyun said that the final battle is not a battle, but he will do it as a concert. Bobby said he can't wait to see fans sing along with him. Jinwoo said that he wants to hear his mom crying because she's happy for the final. Donghyuk said  that if his team loses, he don't want it to be disbanded. Seungyoon said even if they win, he wouldn't feel that happy, because he knew how everyone survived for this battle, but he also hate if they don't win this battle and he ended up crying :'( Seungyoonie :'( . B.I said that he can't lose this battle coz he's the leader and that is his responsibility.

If you missed the 9th episode, you can watch it on Mnet's channel  Or, if you wanna watch it in English sub, you can go to here and here. Don't forget to thank them, and feel free to comment :)

Who Is Next: 11 Trainees Profile, Music Style and Fashion - A Review by giditopi

Since the Final Battle is near (it's D-4), I'm gonna make my review, not about the episode, but review about the 11 trainees, from their musical style, daily fashion and the most important thing is their personality based on my opinions. Honestly, I love this program so much, I love how the boys interact to each others, how they survived and learn everyday and how they entertained us with their talent in dancing, singing and performance. It's an emotional but, i admit it, YG really did a great job to make this kind of battle. The sad thing is that YG said the team that will lose, gonna be disbanded. Such a cruel reality, but yes, It's YG, we still have a hope coz he's the master of trolling kkk. Note: It's a long post kkk

Team A and Team B, I hope both of team will debut under YG :')

Let's Start from the hyungs line, a.k.a Team A

1. Kim Jinwoo, The Epitome of Diligent Who Has Eyes Like A Deer

He's such a quiet boy, super diligent and from what i saw, he seems an introverted person. He has big eyes that's really attractive. Just like usual blood type A person. Even though he is the oldest, but he seems like just the maknae because of his height kkk. His musical sense, maybe, not as good as the other trainee, but his will and his diligent must be number 1. He also acknowledged by his member that his skill has improved a lot. He loves wearing Hoodies,that is his key item, and because of that his fans name (unofficial) is Woodies.

2. Lee Seunghoon, The Hip Hop Lion & Mainstay For Performance

He's a genius dancer and lyricist. He's bold, strong-willed and humble. He is also A type person. He also has funny personality. At first, his rapping skill is not as good as the other trainees, but now, i can say that he has improved a lot. His fashion style is unique, he loves neon colors and he also called himself as the stylist of the team. He is someone who loves to wear colorful outfit and the type to stack everything in his body, that is his key item. His appearance in Kpop Star and got into 4th place makes people think that Team A's fans love this team because he is already famous, but the ironic fact is that he's the least famous in this team. I found that his dancing ability also underrated, we know that he choreograph Team A's dance battle, but seems like no one praise his hardworking. His unofficial fans name is Lions.

3. Song Minho, The Experienced and Talented Rapper

He's dorky cartoonist, talented rapper, a composer and talented lyricist. His appearance maybe looks like he's a cold person especially his husky voice, but he really does a lot of silly action and aegyo. He was a leader before he got injured (YG changed the leader position to Kang Seung Yoon). He's also a blood type A person, that's why he is a bit quiet when he become the leader. He was a block B trainee (also the longest trainee along with Zico) but he failed to make a debut because family reason, then he debut with BoM, and the group was disbanded this March, while he's been a trainee in YG in November 2012. Seeing this facts, he's truly the real fighter. As for music, he does underground rapper before, so we can say that his skill is amazing. He's also a good dancer. For fashion, his love for snapbacks and beanie is awesome, just take a look into his room in Team A's dorm, you'll see how amazing he arranged his snapbacks. Beanie, snapbacks and headkerchief is his key item. His unofficial fans name is Minions.

4. Kang Seung Yoon, The Instinctive Singing Man & Team A's Leader

He's super talented lyricist, composer, and  painter and yes, his vocal is superb. He has 4D personality (or maybe High-D) because sometimes he acts so childish and weird, but he also thoughtful and humble. He is the only one with blood type B in this team. He was awarded as best rookie artist in 2010 then he joined YG in 2011 and his debut as a solo started at July this year. I can't even imagine how hard it is to divided his working routine at that time. People keep saying that Team A's fans love this team also because of him, he is already a celebrity, because he also took a part in MBC "High Kick 3" and Superstar K2 (he got 4th place), maybe that's true but that is not super significant just like people said, because in facts, he got 3rd ranked in term of popularity. I admit that he really endured everything very well, from someone who couldn't even know how to dance, he become good dancer right now, he also received many critics in Superstar K2, but he tried his best to be better and better. His role of being the new leader for Team A is awesome. I think he can show Team A's real talent better than Minho. His unofficial fans name is Smiles, because his title song always has "smile' word. His fashion style, i admit it, that he has super unique just like Seunghoon. Where the other trainees tend to wear black and white and snapbacks, he is the only one that wears Flower-printed trousers and bucket hat, that is his key item.

5. Nam Taehyun, Possessor of Mesmerizing Voice Who Has Drooping Eyebrow & 5:5 Hair

He's a composer with mesmerizing voice (some people said that he's not YG style) and the owner of super famous droopy eyebrow and Prince of 5:5 hairstyle. And yes, he's the most handsome member out of the trainees. His popularity ranked is always number 1 and sometime 2. He is the maknae of the group and  the owner of high notes. His high notes skill, at first, always been pointed by YG because he always has flaw, so that he always practice to reduce and eliminate his flaws. Just by seeing his attitude, we can see that he's not only has Prince aura but also Diva aura. His flawless skin is amazing and even more beautiful than a woman. He's a humble person that love his fans, recently i realized that he cares about his fans so much from the way he greet people in his Chuseok message, and how he told his fans to be careful after seeing him in High Touch event. Ah yes, he's also blood type A person. He's the type that makes many tracks rather than making lyrics, for the last battle he prepared 4 tracks in 5 days. His fashion style is simple, he loves to wear shorts and simple t-shirts but with unique logos, his key item is his 5:5 hair. I think he's also the only one trainee that has a tattoo (Jean Michel Basquiat, an artist). I can feel that he's also an Art maniac just like Mino and Seungyoon.

Now, we're gonna move to Team B, started from the oldest to the youngest.

6. Kim Jinhwan, Power Dance and Vocal Charms
He's the kind hyung that everyone wanna be friends with. His ability in singing and dancing is the best among his team member. He's known as the hyung that always help his dongsaeng in Team B. He really reminds me of Taeyang, from his voice and dancing ability, he's soooo Taeyang (and his height kkk). He's a blood type A person that cares for everyone. His fashion style is simple, love wears snapback and sleeveless kkk. His key item is his grey color, idk but i saw him a ears grey a lot, like his sleeveless & sweater. I thought he was a shy person, but actually he is not. He is bold enough to say that you'll love to hear his voice at night, just like Taeyang. Even YG also said that he reminds him of Taeyang.

7. Song Yun Hyeong, The reversal of Charms with Sweet&Charming Tone
He's the hyung that not looks like hyung. He's also the Korean person that not looks like a Korean, that's why he called himself as the reversed charmer kkk. I thought he looks like Zayn Malik. He's also blood type A person, the quiet one but when he plays around he's so cute and playful. He cares about the members and never forget to thanks his hyungs and his leader for helping him improve. For me he often looks like scared of something and those type person who always say 'yes'. He's known as the member that unknown from the public, it's because WIN didn't show his side as much as B.I and Bobby. I think his fashion sense is good, he seems always wearing something that catch your eyes, from his pink pants and unique t-shirt. He is the one that didn't use snapbacks as much as the other trainee, that is his key item kkk. His voice is soft but he seems like doesn't have enough power in it, that's why he also pointed by YG that he should improve.

8. Kim Jiwon aka Bobby, Team B's Moodmaker & Swagger
He's super talented rapper, lyricist and composer. His rap is very different from another kpop artist I've known. His singing skills is also good. His unreleased clip 'Probably Perfect' is one of my favorite. He looks cute with his puppy eyes but  has strong charisma when it comes to music. His love for music and hip hop is amazing, that's why YG praised him a lot. I think he is the most praised by every judge by his music skills, but his weakness is his short-breath and his pronunciation when rapping is not clear, but for me that is his color kkk. He's blood type O person that is bold, optimist, cheerful and hard worker. The facts that he moves to Korea, and live alone without his family in the age of 16 is something to be praises of. He's very talkative person and those type to joke around. His fashion sense is good. He tends to wear colorful rather than black&white just like the other trainees. His key item is purple Bratson beanie and red checked shirt, idk why but he wears that a lot.

9. Kim Hanbin aka B.I, The Charismatic Leader
He's the leader of Team B. He's blood type O person that has strong-willed, charismatic, optimist, perfectionist and really talkative. He started to rap since young, he even perform Indian Boy with MC Mong, that's why YG had interest in him and made him a trainee since 2011. His ability to make lyrics, composing, choreograph and leadership is awesome. YG said that he's the next G-Dragon. He also praised by many judged in several battle. He must be the most tired member in his team, that's why his eager to win is big. Because of that, many people think that he is a bit arrogant. I kinda understand why people said that, but we have to understand his position too. He's the leader, and has been a training for 3 years, and YG said that one team will be disband if they lose, and his age is still young, that's why his desire to win is so big but also made his image as (a bit like) a harsh person. His speciality is hip hop. His self-composed song with Bobby in 2nd Battle is really good. He's the one that wears a lot of expensive clothes from expensive brand, but his style is average, his item key is his long sleeve t-shirt.

10. Kim Donghyuk, Cutie Maknae with Long Range Vocal
He's the last member to join Team B. Blood type O that loves to learn, a diligent and smart student. His dancing ability is good and his muscles is awesome, despite he is just 16 years old boy kkk. Along with Junhwe and Yoonhyung, many people don't really recognize him. Maybe because among the trainee his vocal is average, but he actually can play Piano, Drums and Guitar, it just this program doesn't show him a lot. As a maknae of the group (and last member to join) he has really good manner, in recent episode, when the others just chatting and eating barbecue, he is the one that cooked the meat and fighting with smoke (while the real maknae Junhwe is just eating and eating kkk). His fashion is also average, he tend to use something that is comfortable to wear. His item key maybe his love for white, i think he wears a lot of white color.

11. Goo Junhwe, Individualistic Maknae & Possesses of A Charming Voice
The real maknae of team B, that not look likes maknae kkk. His voice is super good and has power in it. His dancing ability is also good. He was a contestant in Kpop Star, along with Seunghoon and Lee Hi. At that time he still a kid, but now he's the noona killer kkk. He's blood type A that is really diligent and passionate, in a recent episode, member said that he also gave up his graduation trip and slept in the dorms. Actually, he's also underrated trainee. He also didn't has much shot in this program. His fashion sense is a bit different from his age, he looks like mature teenager even he's just 16 years old. His item key mus be his napback and the way he wears it kk. He's also a talkative person but YG said that his personality is like Park Bom (maybe he is also 4D).

So, Who is your favorite Team and Member??

YG Entertainment’s ‘WHO IS NEXT: WIN’ Episode 8 - A Review by giditopi

The Second Battle of ‘WHO IS NEXT: WIN’ continues! Can Team A catch up Team B points? What happened with B.I and his member? And the most important, Who is the winner for this battle?

Yes, the 2nd battle still continued! Last episode was just one round battle, this episode has two more round! The Dance Battle and Self-Composed Battle. Team A has 254 points whereas Team B got 260 from the first battle. Team B takes the lead with 6 points difference.

Dance Battle. For this round, Team A used D.O.A (Jay-Z) and Michigo (G-Dragon) and Team B used Picasso Baby (Jay-Z) & Gold Digger (Kanye West) + Touch the Sky for their performance. Team B performed first, they made it like a musical style between model students (Jinhwan, Donghyuk) vs bullies group (B.I, Bobby, Junhwe and Yoonhyung), they also used Acrobatic in their performance, and they still used I.Am.Me's choreo (which is still a scandal this time). Their dance, sure, it's really clear dance and entertaining. They choose great song and perform well. The Judges also give them high score, Lee Hyundo gives 95, JYP 88, and Yoon Jong Shin 91 with total points 274. From 1st round and 2nd round their points is 534.

For Team A, because Mino has an ankle injured, he can performed as usual, but he still perform. In this battle, they also used school musical. Mino is the teacher, Seungyoon is the class president, Jinwoo & Taehyun is like the bullies classmates, and Seunghoon is the nerd one. Their dance was totally awesome, Mino couldn't participate in dancing, but he has killer move! Yes, he did beatbox and i was like, WOW, how can they have such a brilliant idea! It's really entertaining, but their dance is not really clear as Team B. JYP said that their dance will be perfect if their accuracy is better, he give them 93, Yoon Jongshin 88 and Lee hyundo gives them even though he said that Team A left deeper and outspoken impression compared to Team B 90. Their total point is 271, again lost against team B. Their overall point is 525, which is 9 point difference.

Self-Composed Battle. This is what I've been waiting for, because Self-composed song is YG's Pride. Bigbang become so popular because they always composed their own song. Team B performed "Winnin" composed by B.I and Bobby. It's really hip-hop song, very catchy and i really like their hook part!~kilin this hook like peter pan~ But the song really well-made only for the rapper line, not for the vocal-line. It's a bit disappointing because, honestly i really love this song. Actually they already have a song before Winnin, but the member feel a bit disappointed, so they made Winnin, but D-1, YG said that they have to changed the lyrics because they have too much English lyrics in it. They also have a hard time, because B.I keeping his anger and the member become so worried and scared, even Jinhwan also cried. Fortunately they can endured it and solve it well before the actual battle.

Team A performed 'Smile Again' which is composed by Seungyoon. lyrics by Seungyoon, Seunghoon and Mino. Taehyun also helping in making the tracks before Seungyoon made the melody, and Seungyoon said that the idea is from everyone, which is mean, it's really their song. The lyrics is about themselves that has been losing their smile, so that they want to Smile Again. This is actually showing that they really work well with each other, all the member have part in composing the song. The song also really meaningful and able to move the listeners very well, the melody, their individual part is perfect. You still can hear Mino's fast rap and Seunghoon's rap with really meaningful lyrics, Taehyun with his falsetto, Seungyoon really doing good hitting the chorus with high note and Jinwoo with his smooth vocal can move us as well. Honestly i think, this song really suited to be their debut song. It's awesome and different from any other boybands right now in K-Pop industry (as i know kkk). The judge also praised them, even YG Sajangnim said that he want to promote this song.

YG Entertainment’s ‘WHO IS NEXT: WIN’ Episode 7 - A Review by giditopi

Are You Ready for The 2nd Battle of ‘WHO IS NEXT: WIN’?? Uh-oh I heard Team A's Leader Changed?? Who is The Judges for This Battle? Who is The Winner for This Battle?

Ok, Calm down kkk. This episode will answer that question! This is the 2nd Battle that viewers really anticipate. They had 3 Mission for the 2nd battle. First, YG choose a famous song, and both team must re-arranged it into their style. Team A got "Officially Missing You" by Tamia, and Team B got "Baby" by Justin Bieber. The second one is write an original song, but if the team have more vocals in the first song, they can have more rap in this song. The last one is dance, but not choreographing, they can refer to a famous choreographer from overseas. YG really give the boys such a difficult missions, and the time is really limited.

Before continue to talking about the battle, let's talk about the boys appearance in GD's Crooked stage in Inkigayo. The boys really anticipated it, and they are practicing very hard for the stage. B.I leads the dance practice, but he couldn't scream as usual to the hyungs in Team A, and Taehyun said "just be , you can scream at us too". In the middle of practice, Mino suddenly falls and he injured his ankle, and doctor said that he must avoid dance for 1 to two weeks. He also couldn't make an appearance in GD's Crooked stage :'( And the worst is, because of that YG Sajangnim said "As an emergency, we will need a new leader" and YG choose Kang Seung Yoon. It's so sad, that after his injury he seemed like falling apart. But, i think he will be the leader again, after his injury recover. Since YG said it's an emergency.

OK, back to the battle. Now, it's their preparation. Team A's concept for the 1st Mission is about missing them self from the past, so they will changed almost the whole song to be Team A's style and each member will write their own lyrics. While writing the lyrics, Seunghoon also cried, because he really missed his old times. Also, Seungyoon hand were bruised because he re-arranged the song all day with his guitar. Akdong Musician also appeared in this episode when they visited Team A and perform their version of "Officially Missing You" and also give them advice. Taehyun and Jinwoo also keep practicing their vocal with such a scary practice i think. Taehyun asked the other member to step on his stomach while he sing. It must be really hurt. 

Team B will make their own twist, cute, fresh and boy-like. The 3 last member that joined Team B,Junhwe, yoonhyung, and Donghyuk, also gave surprise to B.I, Bobby and Jinhwan because they're very thankful t for always helping them. They also wrote a letter and read it. It's really sad and we can see all the members crying, except B.I, but he couldn't hide his sad feeling too. he kept telling sorry  for the members :'( They also didn't have much time to sleep because they have to change the lyrics, due to sajangnim instruction.

Yes, It's The Battle Day! It's also Jinwoo's birthday, which is mean the battle is on 26th of September. The judges are Yoon Jong Shin, JYP and Lee Hyun Do. Team B perform first, the first half of their 'Baby' performance didn't really catch my eyes, because it's still JB's style, but after the rappers perform, their performance become better. Most of the judges gave an awesome score, their total score was 260. Then Team A perform Officially Missing You. I do really1000x love this performance, even for today, i've listened it more than 4 times kkk. It's really good and it's really heartfelt. Their harmony was also really good. The rappers and vocal really did a great job. But, i don't know why, the judge only give them score 254. It maybe because Mino's minor mistake (which i couldn't recognize when I hear it for the first time). And, it also received huge appreciates from the viewers and got realy high ratings, usually WIN's rating is around 1,3 but because of this performance, the ratings become 1,9. And the show just ended like that, I can feel why Team A's fans can't accept this, because it seems like everyone know who is better this time.
