0 comments
The 6th Episode of YG Entertainment's Reality Show 'Who is Next' is up! It's not only Team A vs Team B battle, but also Taeyang vs G-Dragon battle. So, who is the winner decided by Bigbang and 2NE1 members? Have you vote for them??

This episode started with Team A and B's rehearsal before their actual 1st battle that the viewer will vote. They also discussed about the performances with their producer, Taeyang for team A and  GD for team B. Taeyag said that they couldn't be nervous because, if they nervous they will lose. Team B also discussed about the different between their practice room and the stage. Both of the producer said that this is the boys first performance in the stage, so they also know how it feel and hope their team will do alright without being nervous.

GD is the type that concentrate more in their performance while Taeyang more concentrate in maintaining Team A's vocal. Both of them keep supporting their team with their advice. I really like Taeyang advice. He said "I don't think that a dream is something for people to fight over, but rather, it exists so that people can continue chasing it until they die. You have to be grateful for your dreams every day."

After all BIGBANG members and 2NE1 member arrived, they have a discussion before the battle. (kyaaa love this part so much BB, 2NE1 and their Sajangnim (YG) have a very close relationship). YG said that they have to judge objectively and give them advice so that the boys would improve. Seungri said that in Bigbang case, they don't have any battle like this and he thought that both team are 10 or 20 more nervous than Bigbang. But, YG said in Bigbang and 2NE1 case, they took along time because they depend only on themselves, but today after Bigbang receive a lot of money, the environment become better so it also good for the boys. Dara said that Jinwoo is kinda similar to her, so he wanna cheer him up. Minzy and Bom said that B.I caught their attention because his sincerity and his leadership skill. Daesung said Team B is doing good right now, but his hearts going to Team A. G-Dragon said that Team A has something that very messy and because it's tacky soit become more emphasized, but even they're flawed but Team A can move people with their charm, because they're more interesting. While he said Team B is so perfect, so there's nothing exciting about them. TOP said that, the one who fit YG style, he want to meet the team. (YG joked that TOP saying this with preparation to look cool kkk)

And finally, the it's the battle time! YG choose Seungri to flip coin and decided who will perform first. Team B won, and GD choose Team A to go first. They performed Taeyang's Look Only at Me with their own style. They changed the music from sad song into interesting song in reggae style and kinda R&B too. I think the performance was clean, and their vocal totally good. Park Bom commented that their visual is awesome, especially Nam Taehyun. Lee Seunghoon also bring back his confidence and it's a good thing. Seungri also said that. Jinwoo also amazed Seungri that he is going better and better. Dara said that everything is good, but since she is noona, she needs eye contact more kkk. Daesung said that their performance is like a newly opened restaurant and it's a bit disappointing. TOP said Mino should show his strength, and he praised Seunghoon. YG said that the performance was better than he was originally expected.
Team A performs Look Only at Me 

Team B perform One of A Kind. GD said to staff that the MR should be adjust. They perform everything well. They add a lot of ad lib such cute expression and what i liked the most is Bobby rap part and Junhwe part. Other than that i don't really buy it.Why? because it still sound GD-ish. And what i really want is something different than GD. kkk. Minzy praised B.I leadership (again), Daesung said their vocal missing a bit of power. TOP? he's going crazy by Bobby's rap (kkk me too). CL said that in Team A you can see their own character, but in Team B you can't, but Team B's performance was perfect for her.

Dance Battle. Team A perform Wedding Dress and Team B perform That XX and Crayon. Both team show their dancing ability in different ways, it also because Team A perform sad song and Team B mixed sad song and fun song together. Team A's dancing was better than i expected, it's powerful and you can see that their emotion and expression of the song. Team B also doing good with That XX and dancing is their speciality, so they're really confident. Team B used a bit the choreography from I.AM.Me crew, while Team A doing their own choreography. Seungri, Daesung and Dara praised both team, while TOP said that Team A has no impacts, Team B has so many impacts, but they had no focus point. CL and Bom totally love Team B dance.

The results? Bigbang Seungri and TOP choose Team A, while 2NE1 and Daesung choose Team B. It's 5:2 for Team B. Congratulations Team B for winning their sunbae's heart!! Mino said that his team lost because they a bit nervous, but he hope that this lost will be their stepping stone to develop even better. YG said that Team A afraid of confrontation so that they always received bad critics. GD advice Mino to become more open his heart to each member and share his energy. CL also said that this is must be Mino's fault because he can't dragged his member well. Mino also admit this is his fault. Seunghoon said that he pretend to be not afraid, but in his heart he actually scared. He said that Team A must learn the strength that Team B has.

0 comments
Who Is Next (WIN) the real survival battle already passed 5 episode, 5 more to go and we'll know who'll be the WINNER. This episode is not only Team A vs team B first battle, but also GD vs Taeyang friendship battle. Fyi: In Bigbang Documentary, Taeyang team won. So, who'll be the winner this time?

The story started with the follow-through from the 4th episode, when Team B winning the monthly evaluation battle. This time, YG said that Team A will interpret and arrange Taeyang's song and Team B will does GD song with Taeyang and GD will also help them for their first battle. Both GD and Taeyang also felt confused, why suddenly Sajangnim told them to do this battle. GD said that he always losing when he put on different team with Taeyang, so what about this time?

Team A choose Only Look At Me and Wedding Dress while Team B choose One of A Kind, Crayon and That XX. They started to meet their producer in D-15 of their battle. Taeyang said that team A's performance was not bad, but also not that good either. He said it's because Team A have a lot of pressures because their past losing to team B. He helped member by pointing what they lacked specifically, so team A must fixed it before the battle. He also give a lot of idea for their performance. For GD, Team B really impressed him. But he still point where team B lacked and give them alot of advice such as their expression and also what position is cooler. He is totally a perfectionist. Huwaaaaa :)

GD with team B

They practice really hard, and Taehyun almost injured his arm :'( But, their vocal coach said that team A really have an upgrade. Taeyang said that their performance is perfect, but they need to more enjoying the stage. For team B, GD fixed their problem by telling them know-how of being in the stage. There's also surprise visit by B.I's mother and his little sister Hanbyul, which is really~ cute!
B.I and his cute litte sister, Hanbyul

This episode member story is about Team B's Song Yoon Hyeong, Kim Donghyuk and Goo Junhwe. Yoon Hyeong started training on April 2012. He actually didn't have any preparations to become singer, because his dream was to be an actor, even Bobby said that he has no talent in singing or dancing when he first join the team, but now because of his hard work he become someone that the team really need. Kim Donghyuk passed YG audition in November 2012, he is actually someone who love study, the ideal child that your mom will love kkk. Fyi: He won JYP trainee search on March 2012. And the last one, our maknae from Team B, Goo Junhwe. He also joined Kpop Star along with Lee Hi and Lee Seunghoon. At first he didn't like singing as he loves dancing but now he wanted to able to touch the viewer with his voice. After being eliminated in Kpop Star, he started training at YG in April 2012. Team B started with Bobby, B.I and Jinhwan in January 2011. In April 2012, Junhwe join Team B and then Yoon hyeong also joined, then in November the team completed with Donghyuk joined the team.

September 1, 2013, the boys went to GD concert, and we can see that VIP recognized them, took photo of them and calling their name. That's why please YG just debut all of them kkk. They went to GD's waiting room and met YG Family there. They also meet YG's wife and daughter Yoojin.  Seungri said that the boys should make introduction. I saw that they're still nervous, especially Minho. On the other hand, Kang Seung Yoon and B.I seems more relaxed, i think. Sajangnim also asked YG Family who they think would win the battle. Seungri, Minzy and Bom choose Team A, Daesung choose Team B. But Bom said that he also like B.I .That's also our problem bommie :'( The boys enjoying the concert and they also really want to be in that stage and be more desperate to win.

The episode end with the boys went to the stage and having rehearsal. There's also preview for the next episode, yes!!! the first battle, with BIGBANG and 2NE1 member as the judge.  Can;t wait for that!! here's the official link to watch this episode.
