Three hours and ten minutes, to be exact. (On a related note, my dorky friends from RTK ended up having the last laugh, so that PTSD pales in comparison to my pride as a fan.).

Why couldnt they have performed Take Me Home instead?!? Its been complained about at length, but I found the competition-focus in the previous season really draining, (and the show was oddly patronising towards the groups), so im glad that Btob and Ikon were there to bring much needed chill!

The stray kids x the boyz x ateez inter-group friendship was also very funny to watch, heres to more of such interactions in the future! Beyond that I just want to say I feel sorry for you, Nick, forcing yourself to watch this whole thing live as it airs. i have my feelings about this, but mostly im just happy because i enjoyed the interactions and seungmins shine time throughout kingdoms run (plus skz won and theyre one of my favourite groups ever so) but like you said i really am excited to see where theyll go from here (and on a different note, i cant wait for hyunjin to return because as much as I enjoyed the amount of center time felix and minho finally got in his absence, he is a very significant part of this group so one can only hope that they keep up giving all the members of their dance line shine time as well as their vocalists), Also when they talked about changmins marriage??!!! Also as much as I love ATEEZ and specifically WAVE, I dont think that their version of WAVE was executed well, they changed the whole vibe of wave in a weird way. Who competed on Kingdom: Legendary War 2021? I understand that many can sing beautifully to an extent but can they REALLY sing?

The guys know how to bring a sense of dynamics to a performance, telling a story rather than just bringing the same energy throughout. 5. iKON 4. I want to say Stray Kids will be first and The Boyz second, but I find it hard to believe that iKON would come last. But I like how they did it all with so much passion/energy. They explore jazz but cant scat and likewise label it is as a concept. MNET was the network partner of the show. The final episode of Kingdom is over three hours long. I think it would be good to change things up for at least one episode. iKons performance is what I liked best because they showed their color as a group where they dont need to change their typical performance style to show something different especially that this is a group introduction stage. Imitation and Kingdom definitely have to help their domestic popularity and the prospect of Mingi returning will be epic hahaha. I feel bad that half of the votes will be controlled by fans.

Interestingly, I think the ATEEZ remix was great but I have the advantage of not knowing the original song. The choreography was on point as usual, even if the mix didnt really do the song any favors. I did not expect edgy Wave to sound so good. i thought that i was gaslighting myself because no one was discussing Changbins rap, thank you for confirming! Im quite impressed by Minhyuk for pulling off those new parts and I just love their energy off-stage. Especially in Road to Kingdom, their performances just didnt feel special and became so predictable. SF9 (LogOut/ They should have gotten him to join in on the performance, too! Performing without Mingi is always going to be hard. Sometimes, things are just meant to be enjoyed rather than be used as work-time. iKON always delivers energy, and that was definitely the case here.

I hope we see him in the next comeback (Im someone whos much more interested in restorative justice than terminable punishment. I believe there needs to be better vocalists in the industry.

Keeping in mind that everyone is awfully exhausted and trying their very best for the show, the only thing we could do is to give support to every participating groups and hope that nothing worse will happen. add a flip or aerial All Rights Reserved. TBZ was good and are good contenders to the crown, but I for future episodes, I dont want to hear the Stealer or Reveal. 2nd place: Ateez 4,418.537 The initial ranking was announced on the basis of expert judges' evaluation and contestants' votes. BTOB 4th place: BTOB 1,444.444 points (333.333 + 1,111+111) Im sorry, iKON. They debuted on March 25th, 2018, under JYP Entertainment. 6th place: The Boyz 919.540 points (919.540 + 0).

Like yeah you are powerful and impactful, but in the same way of precious stages. 6th place: iKon 489,971 votes. 5. iKON The dance was good, but they really should have sang and rapped live. With that said, this was barely Wave at all. The six groups will compete against each other and release music on streaming sites simultaneously. Who is Who: Kpop Boy Groups Still, kudos to all the groups, they all did GREAT!^^, For me I believe that IKON and BTOB showed something different whereas the other 4 performances were almost similar. The Boyz. The two results make 50% of the score for Round 1. You should save yourself the headache next time and just watch an upload the next day! But, I feel like Ive seen this stage before, and its just not what I tend to enjoy when it comes to K-pop. Fantastic climax. If you need/want to use info from our profile, please kindly put a link to this post. 1. This is part cooking show, part eating show, and allows their fun interplay to flourish. For years now, there has been a lack of diversity in genres/styles in male groups that need to be addressed. Kingdom is not a music show like mcountdown or music bank.

Buuuut still wasnt my favorite stage of theirs. 6. Its all about playing with momentum and energy in performances like this. Watch episode 7 of 'Kingdom: Legendary War' to know the current rankings of Stray Kids, ATEEZ, BTOB, iKON, SF9 and THE BOYZ. This was an odd performance because it used a lot of pre-recorded video for transitions. 6. 4. Its like a less-successful version of music theyve already released. Some members are better at maintaining this act than others, and of course Im instantly drawn to the ones who look most uncomfortable. They could use a boost after a tumultuous few years. In the press conference PD Lee Young Joo announced that unlike during Road To Kingdom, this time thered be no eliminations. They are actually really really talented and have great songs only just to waste it on walking (Also they get barely any screen-time to begin with). To relieve stress, fatigue and injury, the guys rent out Everland that amusement park you always see on Korean variety shows. I know I would. As for Kingdom as a whole? The guys look back at some of their stages, highlighting funny anecdotes. The language was Korean. Damn, I typed a lot. As announced last week, the theme for the battle was To The World, and the competing groups were tasked with remixing one of their songs to put on a performance that they wanted to show to the world..

Kingdom: Legendary War Finale Recap and Ranking. 6th place: The Boyz 2,534.222, Voting details for the 2nd Round: Keep up the good work, boys. I just cant get into this song. Its dejavu all over again. SF9 With that said, the ending was abrupt as hell. SF9 is already confirmed to have a comeback early July so theres the first confirmed CB for the Kingdom groups. I also really loved the miroh remix (kinda needed that after like 3000 listens of the original) and they are looking as solid as ever. Can anyone help me out here? BTOB/iKON (tie) 4. Expressively. Im scared that this round and next round is just gonna all be so dramatic and filled with shock-factor. 3rd place: BTOB 2,021.073 points (632.184 + 1,388.889) ? Kingdom: Legendary War Profile: Sequel to Road To Kingdom Survival Show All their title songs are amazing though its a shame that they got their first win just recently since 2016, but its a great news to all Fantasys. Kpop Quizzes They debuted on October 24th, 2018, under KQ Entertainment. Ive seen a lot of masks and creepy contacts in K-pop already. BTOB was good, but I also wanted them to lean into the choir arrangement more. 6. The Boyz That said, the remixes all sucked compared to the original songs. 1. iKON consists of 6 members: Bobby, Jay, Ju-ne, Song, DK and Chan. You made ranking based on the song not the whole performance. BTOB 3. They certainly dont have a rookie air to them anymore. I also forgot to add that I think The Boyzs performance was more for their fans directly. Until then, we are stuck with (what I believe to be are) mediocre, edm, rap, dance-heavy songs. 4th place: BTOB 2,969.431 Ateez Members That Share The Same Birthday With Other Kpop idols. ATEEZ came in first place in both categories, while Stray Kids claimed second place alone in the expert judges evaluations and tied for second place with BTOB in the contestants votes. 1st place: ATEEZ 2,155.172 points (1,321.839 + 833.333) Ateezs is the only one I see myself returning to just for fun (and Ive rewatched it several times already lol).

Disbanded Kpop Girl Groups I genuinely believe that Pentagon would have had a much higher chance if their was a live audience and they didnt try so hard to be cool all the time and just had fun. It might become my favorite performance from them. None were bad by any means, they just werent over the top or something unexpected. In the end, this was always going to be a popularity contest to some extent. Personally, when I first saw the performance it was a bit underwhelming but after watching it more, Ive come to love it, and the dance break with Q in the front was just amazing. yee yee farm georgetown, tx,
