Did ya'll see the fancams of Hanbin excitedly pointing at his family and Zhanghao waving and bowing to them? he did it on 3 different occasions (from different fancams at least). If that's not love I don't know what is. I mean his mom already said he was really close to a Chinese trainee pre-Tomboy era and posted pics of them from the Tomboy stage so you know he's been telling his mom about someone special, it was the cutest thing in the world.
And mama Sung calls him Hao Hao! A fan who visited her cafe, gave her a gift to give to Hanbin and it was a pair of Haobin mugs and a few other stuff. When she received the stuff she said “oh it’s Hao Hao” to the fan who gave it to her
when haobin broke the split screen by hugging??? peak cinema honestly. i was rly sad abt park hanbin keita and junhyeon but im still gonna stan this group for sure. also ty for the amazing content guys !!!
The sense of "realism/grounded" we get from Zhang Hao is probably bcs he fully experienced his 22 years of life "normally". Like he graduated high school, pursued the degree he wanted, then graduated uni and got a teaching certificate as a "normal" guy. He only started being a trainee after all that so his life experience kinda gave him that vibe. Tho even during high school and uni, he was already very popular 😂
@@ashullu We all thought he was gonna get shen xiaoting’d or even worse, Jonghyun’d. From Haobin’s reaction of being p1p2 nominees, I think they also thought Hao was in danger. I’m so glad we were all so worried about the interim not showing Hao that we gaslit each other into thinking he was in major danger. Them not showing Hao worked in our favour and probably got him to #1 or maintained #1.
They also didn’t do the whole 9,10,11 place because of the law where underage people can’t be working past a certain time, so they needed to end the episode quick so they wouldn’t get in trouble for having yujin working past his bed time.
Listen… when Zhang Hao sat in the #1 seat and realized that he actually won and started breaking down… I have not cried like that in a LONG time. I am so happy and proud of him. It’s what made me go “actually, I WILL support ZB1 even if Jay didn’t make it”. I’m so happy that I found the both of you to watch. You are totally must-see tv!
as a Ricky one pick, I was losing hope at every P08, P07, P06 and at P05, I was already about to tweet my sad goodbyes but then P04 happened 😭 His rank really shocked everyone. I think we all underestimated his one pick power. Ricky's korean fanbase steadily rising since he went out to see his ads and met with kfans. I think they saw the real him behind the "young and rich, tall and handsome" persona and love him even more.
For real, the higher the ranks got, the more I lost hope for Ricky then Minhyun went and announced Ricky as #4. The scream I let out was ridiculous. His ranking was a surprise yet wasn't really a surprise looking back through his journey in his show because he was always popular and he was slowly trending upwards in Korean portals. It's amazing, really.
@@cmq23 a lot of people who don't watch boys planet was also really happy to find out that he debuted. he is really popular so him being one of the debut members was no surprise.
I had already accepted that Ricky wasn't going to debut and I had made my peace with it. So when his name was called for P04 I literally burst into tears. I was hysterically crying and laughing at the same time like an actual insane person 💀
I really thought Hanbin was breaking down after him and Hao were announced for p1 and 2, but not for himself - Im sure trainees saw the interim, Hanbin was p03. There was nearly no way for him to dip to 9 or lower. Since Yujin was also not called, a lot of people were scared Hao will get traditional China treatment and yeet down ranks. I think he started to cry a bit from relief not for himself but that Hao, his bestie, is making it with him.
My only wish was for Zhang Hao and Sung Hanbin to debut together, so whatever else happened, I’m cool with the final lineup. But my heart BREAKS for the rest of the top 18, especially Park Hanbin and Keita. I’m less worried about Jay - I can see him as a successful solo. But Park Hanbin and Keita I think shine the most in a group. They’re all just so talented…
In my opinion, Jay's best bet is to debut in a big company. Talent wise he can add so much on the team but korean doesn't like him. Same with Keita. Going solo is a poor choice unless they are marketed to the international audience. My wish is for Pledis or any Hybe sub label to acquire Jay, Keita and any other rank 10-18 contestants. I can see these boys creating their own music and doing own solo projects
@@kenadams9588 That's what I've been saying all this time ! People don't seem to realise that Jay and Keita are not appreciated in Korea so solo carreers is impossible right now. If they wanna do solo stuff they have to debut in a very popular group first. Like Wanna One, Daniel went solo and is popular because he was in Wanna One. And yes, the only chance of Jay and Keita is to be recruited in a big company. They can debut in a nugu company with a new group, but after a few comebacks, they may just disband because the lack of popularity, lack of budget, lack of everything but talent. In my delulu's mind, my impossible dream is that Hybe/Pledis rescued Jay, Keita, Haruto, Wumuti, Park Hanbin, Kum Junhyeon, Yoon Jongwoo and Cha Woongki to make a group together and they have a happy ever after that brings me joy haha
I like Gyu Vin, but he was not my pick.. however he had me crying when mentioned Ollie, Brian and Yun-seo.. and saying that he was gonna be waiting for the rest of the Yuehua trainees up there.. he was sooooo sweet
Y'all slept on Gunwook fr 😅 I'm so glad Japanese fans caught on early and we got him there !! We all knew he would surprise everyone in the finals the minute he choose Jelly Pop and he fully delivered 💖 Proud of our Gunwookie~
At first I was sad about Jay but imagining all the noonas and their mothers and mother's mothers coming for him if Yujin didn't debut, it became more of a sigh of relief.
i hope you get through this time, even if it takes a while. he was a true light in kpop and in the world, and will be deeply missed as he was massively loved. ❤️
As for the group name...who would have thought it has lewd connotations in so many languages!?!?!?!?!?! ZB in Polish is an online term for pervert, means dick in Arabic, and 0 1 signifies top & bottom in Chinese. OMG LMAO.
Someone from the audience said that Jay was singing while looking at his mom. All of Jay's fancam during the ballad song really shows that he's just simply so in the moment that he really can't take his eyes off the audience :)
DRIVING WHEN GUNWOOK P05 WAS ANNOUNCED IS CRAZY😭I full on had an out-of-body experience, I was gyuvin and gyuvin was me i let out a blood curdling scream and then was in a state of shock. Seriously did not expect him to be in the final line up the whole episode he looked like he was just there to enjoy himself and perform one last time. The dog union breakup was the most heartbreaking for me the gyuvin, gunwook and junhyeon divorce that happened right in front of my eyes but at least we get gyuwook so i'm not complaining. ALSO P01 HAO???? my second out of body experience he deserves it so much we stan. This is the most perfect lineup for me i love all 9, now just the wait till july...
Was literally driving on my way to work when Gunwook was announced, and screamed at the top of my lungs. I am so happy for him!!! He was the whole reason I watched boys planet after seeing him in Wild Idol and I seriously love the group that came out of that show, TAN, but he's got such a better deal here. P.S I live in California and the live shows start at 4:50am for me every Thursday so that'll tell you how long this episode was; nearly 4 hours 😲. Minhyun and the producers were fighting for their lives with this one. I sincerely enjoyed watching ya'lls videos!
I was so worried about Gunwook because he fell out of top 9. I started freaking out, screaming, yelling, hysterically crying for Gunwook. I still can’t get over how talented he was at 16 in Wild Idol. This is a great opportunity for him and I’m so happy with the line up.
Idk why so many people think the eliminated trainees had a chance against Ricky and Gunwook. And definitely not Ricky. He was 5th for both global and Korean votes so his debut was secured. He was almost 200k votes ahead of P05. Gunwook was ahead of P06 by around 40k votes. It was neck and neck from P06 to P12 with less than 10k vote difference between each. 10, 11, 12 were Jay, PHanbin and Keita, they would have to climb over Yujin, Jiwoong, Gyuvin, Taerae and Gunwook first before even coming close to Ricky.
Everyone NEEDS to give Gunwook his flowers!!!! Not only is he hella smart, he volunteered at animal shelters, joined an all girl dance club, and was in Wild Idol where he got recognized by industry professionals (I’m talking Hyoyeon from Girl’s Generation!!! Sungkyu from Infinite!!!! Tiger JK!!!!) and nearly debuted there. He learned how to be confident in Wild Idol where he was scolded that he needed more confident!!! MNET sucked for making him seem way more intense than he ever was during the first episode (literally the music they put on for his scenes, the sound affects, the dark smoke around him???). Also he is SO young and people just ignore it. He’s literally 1 year older than Ollie and got treated totally different. Even when he was in Wild Idol (at age 16 mind you) they made him do a Men’s Health cover shirtless. I truly hope Gunwook happiness because I cannot imagine what that would make me feel if I was in his shoes.
thank you for a season of pure joy! RJ's reaction to the Haobin P01/02 sequence was exactly mine. And yes, Hao is so, so special. He's this weird mix of graciousness and shrewdness - he can tell hard truths in very gentle ways and turn around tricky/charged situations (like how he deflected a request to Ollie to say "Noona saranghae" by suggesting he do "hyung saranghae" cos Ollie was clearly uncomfortable. It still gave the fans a 'moment' without embarrassing either the fan or Ollie). but all this to say, I have became oddly fond of you two and i actually started watching Fantasy Boys just so I could watch and understand your recap series. :P
The way Kuan Jui fell to the floor sobbing reminded me of how wives act when their husbands go to war 😭 He was losing his soulmate (platonic or romantic idk) and it was so sad. Zhang Hao only cries at the eliminations when Kuan Jui isn’t with him 😭💔
Woonggi and Seunghwan was My highlights of ep12😭😂🙏 Hwanggi supremacy lmao. And I was so proud of Ricky for making it like...He deserve it because Mnet made a right choice with him
I want to thank you both for letting us be a part of this journey with you! As someone who doesn’t have any friends who stan K-pop to talk about this show, it felt less lonely. Thank you! ❤️
Seeing wumuti talk at first was my best part 🧘♀️ I missed him. Ricky became my pick after so I was happy, but sad Jay didn’t make it💔, happy with the line up still
Ricky one pick here, I had been so scared for him thinking he’d end up as a 9th place candidate when he didn’t get called as 8th or 7th so when he came as FOURTH?!?!?( I WAS IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA TRYING NOT TO SCREAM AND SEIZE AND CRY
ALSO - I just wanna say, THANK YOU, to the both of you, for an incredible season of podcast reviews. I looked forward to your recaps every week. Thank you for being so funny, opinionated, and also so open and vulnerable with all of us. I hope that you’ll continue to review ZB1 content and maybe even make music video reactions ❤️
i started crying during gyuvins speech especially when hanbin started crying too and he wasnt even in my top 9 before. hes such a sweetheart, im so happy for him. i love this lineup.
The way I was doing the same thing when Ricky was announced 😂…anyway this was my first time watching anything kpop related and got too invested in it that I even binge watched your show lol very entertaining! Looking forward to your future content!
The journey of Hao and hanbin is mesmerizing, the show was created for them to meet, and I'm not speaking of romantically way or anything, like being centers positions from both group, the personality, similarities ..., became P01 and P02, relate on eo... Maybe that's how Mnet wanted to show their relationship, with the soul mate plot during Here I am, even though they had other friends to relate on, but yeah I'm so glad they debuted together
the reason they had to wrap it up so quickly is because yujin was not allowed to be on tv for much longer sdhksjdsj korean broadcasting laws state that minors can only be on tv until a certain time so if they wanted to announce yujin's position while he was still in the room they had to speed it up a little LMAO
I actually knew that matthew and gunwook had a HUGE support in russian speaking community, but the fact that they were the only two ones whos fan videos (from the ones that were shown) were made by russian speaking people gets me everytime As a russian I can confirm that we love bears and sunshine Btw I woke my cat up three times with my screaming during the finale (my three kids taerae, gunwook and matthew made it I still can't believe), and when matthew was announced as top three I screamed on such a high pitch I've literally never heard such a high note from myself. And my cat got up from my legs, came to my face, and started meowing as if she was asking if I was okay. I hugged her, kissed her little furry forehead, said "we did it baby", and broke down completely it was my first time ever crying bcs of a survival show. Tysm for the video I suddenly feel like rewatching the entire series of BLBP Also taerae ATE hot summer I have no idea how he can become more and more attractive every single day😢 that's my son y'all see it
Thank you for mentioning Moonbin at the start. Also thanks for doing these videos! I hope you do a video on the eliminated trainees like for others. Super happy Jiwoong made it especially since he is a BL actor. I warmed up to Gyuvin during his speech, and overall do like the line up. A bit sad for Jay and Keita, but absolutely devastated PHanbin didn’t make it in. The clips online of him crying at the end just broke my heart and his letter talking about he couldn’t sleep and spent the night at the Han River is so sad. Hope he debuts soon a good company and group. Will be following the group though and praying for Zhang Hal’s introverted self in a group of extroverts 😂
Thank you Boys Love Boys Planet for bringing top tier comedy, references, and recap. I had absolutely zero interest in boys planet until your tiktoks came across my fyp and I instantly knew I had to dive into this world. Almost everything I knew about these trainees came from yall (oops) but it made the experience ten times better and to this day I have yet to watch a full episode. I felt the haobin rant DEEP INTO MY SOUL bc we all know what we know and we all saw what we saw 👀👀 the girls who get it, get it. I can’t believe I’m gonna stan this group just bc one random weekday I saw sung hanbin dance to call me mother and I immediately knew I had to follow this girlie’s career for forever. Literally so sad this podcast sees it’s end, I could listen to y’all talk about these boys all day ❤️💔
first of all it was so fitting to have a beret PERFECT i literally screamed when zhang hao was announced 😭 it was so crazy IFSJDJDJFJFKFK alsooooooooo thank you so much you guys i appreciate how all of hard work i am going to miss this! but i can’t wait to see all of what comes next ilyyyyyy
The only reason I was shocked about Yujin making it into the group was bc I literally forgot he existed 😭 sorry to the lad... it's been like this for the entire show idk why my brain wiped his existence from my memory after every episode. He's talented, so like... he deserves the spot! But my only real issue is that he's so young, so I hope the other members are able to protect him from some of the real bad stuff in the industry. I want him to be able to express himself freely :3 Am I devastated that he made it and phanbin didn't? Yes. But I think there have been rumors of wakeone actually making a group out of their trainees, so......... If that comes true I will be at peace lol. Also since phanbin was 11th it hurts a little less. Like oh ok he wasn't as close as I thought :') V excited to support the group though :3 I would've been happy for anyone who made the final lineup bc they all deserve it so much!! Oh and I absolutely love the way we still ended up getting Woonggi Content throughout the final episode. Tbh seeing the eliminated trainees there for the final episode was so lovely. Haruto was literally teleporting around the world
Oh I totally understood the gyuvin hype after the finale too. He moves like he's being puppeteered by an unknown force and I find that incredibly relatable. He was also sitting on the ground in front of the chair and staff had to climb the steps to tell him to Please Use The Chair, and as someone who sits in a dang flatbed hand cart in one of my college classes even though there are PLENTY of chairs to choose from, he is so real for that. (Sorry for the sudden 'goro akechi eats rocks' lore)
i try not to cry for the finale guess i made it but chile… gunwook speech when he mention junhyeon he said that he might not make it but junhyeon always there to hear him and just like supporting him like you can do it, and gunwook was so happy to just be a friend with junhyeon, and the fact that gunwook only cried for junhyeon he’s not even cried for his debut announcement, im in literal pain watching it the fact that junhyeon left behind alone to see his close friend taerae and gunwook made it, and also taerae debuted alone without his close friend or wake one kids. im so tired about it its been 4 days 🧎🏻
yes the name is silly but it's kpop like i fully expect every band name to be something i can never say aloud ever. on the tomboy episode zhang hao told us gunwook was cute and he was so right!!! i didn't get gyuvin on the show but knowing zb1 now, like, if there was no gyuvin who would be the team crybaby? who would be the team troll? every good kpop group needs one of him lol. same with ricky like in watching bp i was shocked that he got the support that he did bc he didn't get a lot of screentime comparatively but he is truly turning out to be one of the funniest members of the group. the haobin (b)romance story arc was incredible television and i'm so happy for them.
I was just finishing work when 5th and 4th were announced (European time), for Gunwook I was still in my office, which thankfully is pretty soundproof, but for Ricky I was already fully in public, but I still let out a scream of surprise 😅
I want Zhang Hao's solo song to be reminiscent of Henry Lau's title track Fantastic, wherein his violin skills were full on display. Something similar to that. It'd be so wrong not to do so.
Aw, it’s the Boys Love Boys Planet finale. 😢 I have really enjoyed recapping each episode with you both. I felt like I wasn’t watching this by myself and your videos have been my therapy sessions every week. Thank you so much putting so much thought and effort into this every week. Gunwook has been my one pick since the first episode and been dying for bright concept Gunwook because I knew everyone would love him. He was so versatile in Wild Idol too. He was amazing in Jelly Pop along with Zhang Hao. I have it on repeat. Gunwook’s whole announcement had me hysterically crying. His reaction, hugging Hanbin and Zhanghao, unprepared speech, thanking everyone who has helped him, him crying thanking Kum Junhyeon, just so perfect. Validating why he won all those awards for speech/debate. When Zhang Hao was announced for 1st, I broke down in tears. He was genuinely surprised he was first and when he said, “am I dreaming” I completely lost it. I am so excited for their KCON performance, debut and journey to be ZeroBaseOne. They are going to be such a special group.
My 3 picks were Matthew, Phanbin and Keita. I’m really happy for Matthew but I don’t see myself following the group without my two other picks in it. But I want to thank you guys for making BP so much more interesting to watch and for being so positive and partial. I’ve watched another RU-vidr who picked Matthew as his fave initially and instantly bashed him after the evil editing. It made me realise how shallow one can be. But watching you guys is truly different! Thank you and I hope you have a great fan journey ahead with zb1!
i was so shocked/sad that keita didn’t make it, but i’ll def tune into the next ciipher cb. overall it’s a solid lineup but personally i’d swap a few people out. thank you for being my source of entertainment throughout this whole show, i hope y’all will do zb1 reactions and stuff in the future! ♥️
Everything rj said about haobin, yes yes and yes. It felt so poetic to have hanbin be the reigning king of number one, but then at the last moment zhang hao got it and they switched places, someone who hanbin has come to love so much, idk there is some real life poetry in that. People reacting to haobin and zhang hao getting po1 was what made me start watching bp even tho I was late lol. I’ve been loving this series guys, thank you so much!
Thanks for everything! I had fun watching your show after every episode. You've voiced out most of my thoughts that I have no one to talk to with. Cant wait to see more shows of you, especially with the ZB1 content!
and it's overrrr! i hope that in the future we can have another bepler boys love episode🤧thank u so much for doing this show!! definitely made the experience of watching boys planet way more entertaining 💘
had so much fun watching this again after the show finished. i feel like i'm experiencing the finale again when i listen to your talks, especially your reaction to p01 and p02. i couldn't have said it better, everything that youve said was soooooo relatable because i agreeee!!!!!
warning: parasocial lol first i wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you both for doing this show. i have never felt so seen by any kpop related content in the 8 years i’ve been a kpop stan. you two have made my boys planet watching journey so much better. i’m genuinely so thankful i found this channel! also i’ve been here since the ep 1 recap and watching you guys grow has been amazing. truly so deserved. i will always cherish the memories of the first season of Boys Love but i’m so pumped for the next to come. anywaysss i’ll stop being so sappy now. love u guys
i really like the lineup of zb1 except for the fact that my one pick was junhyeon… today’s my first day of not crying about him tho!!! and i think he and the other redstart trainees are doing a good job of capitalizing from bp999 and will have bright futures ahead of them like their zb1 counterparts!!!!
thank you for such an amazing show !! if you thought having parasocial relationships with idols is crazy, mama... you two are my good judies and every week we were having our little kiki and i loved every second of it
im a little sad that this show is over bc what am i going to do on thursdays now but also ur bp commentary :'( What i love is ur perspectives, especially with ur experience with theatre and performances, u guys give such nuanced answers and theyre very sincere. I also love how u guys are able to break down each contestant's narrative arcs that i didnt even pick up (i.e. zhanghao's journey throughout the show is that he's constantly learning, gunwook's breakdown from perfect and tough, to soft and genuine, yujin's presence in the show as a source of comfort for younger audiences which isn't smth i thought of bc well... im much older than him lol). I hope u guys continue providing commentaries as im now watching ur fantasy boys series (and might even start watching fantasy boys if i find the time). I think u guys have found a great niche for yourselves which is kpop survival show commentaries haha! Which makes me wonder, would u guys ever consider expanding outside of survival shows? ik queendom puzzle is coming out soon and there's also peaktime (but that has been out for a while tbh) but how about variety shows of zb1?
adam i need you to know i paused this video 7 minutes in and instantly ordered the beret that's been sitting in my cart since phanbin's camp tour video. u need a brand deal!
Kim Ji Woong needs one of biggest flower ever. he came so far. His 1st group disbanded under mis treatment with financial support & all managing problem. Then his 2nd group disbanded due to their female boss & her sister sexually misconduct their group memebers while they were performing in Japan. Even after possible 3rd group under MBK failed. He was kept going and keep trying. Now, so many years later He is at his stardom. I'm so happy with my tissues while i'm crying 😂.
i'm going to make this a separate comment but thanks for mentioning bin at the beginning of this. i'm an enormous aroha and even, what, 4 months later now? i'm still so sad about his passing every day. he was so beloved by so many people.
LOL I have to break all y’all’s bubble but Minhyun literally told them to walk up together. Mnet is a haobinist lol. The staff was just waving them up because they were taking forever and they had a limited time slot 😅
Après tant de semaine, j'ai l'impression de quitter ma famille après tant de semaine. Je regardais boys Planet puis votre chaîne et me dire que c'est fini makes me emotional !
I’ve finally healed enough to watch this 2 months after the fact 💀 I tried to when it came out but couldn’t stop crying lmfaooo (I’m still not over it)
