the mistake that juyeon from tbz made was really so small, they're so hard on themselves and it makes me so sad omg.. basically that dance scene with the line of branches was supposed to depict a branch blooming, every branch gains a couple more flowers- if u look closely, you'll see that there's actually only around 4 or 5 members doing that part. as the camera pans to the next member in line, the previous member has to drop their branch, find the next branch on the ground, and run behind the camera to their spot in line before the camera reaches that spot. basically juyeon, who started the line with a bare branch, couldn't find his next branch on the ground cuz there was a bunch of fog and stuff and he couldn't look for it cuz the camera was moving, so his next appearance was with the same bare branch instead of one with flowers. hope that kind of makes sense, if you're confused there's a fancam of the performance on youtube that shows what they're doing behind the camera, you may be able to see what i mean there! i hope that was helpful :)

TOO😭 You know, they did so well coming this far in the show, I’m proud of them. It’s a shame they weren’t able to make it into the final round, but this was great exposure for them. For such a young group too. Like you said, they weren’t bad at all, rankings are so tough when literally every group is so good. Pentagon-alright their ranking shocked me so much because I absolutely loved this stage. The fact that it ranked fifth in this round?? That’s really low, I was not expecting that. This stage was so cool and the way they came up with the theme was hilariously genius. I agree with Shabir, this was Pentagon’s best stage so far. The concept, the vocals, the choreo, the charisma, everything was so on point. I’ve watched this stage before and I have the song on my Spotify playlist but seeing the performance again had me shook, like I was watching it for the first time. Follow is such a high energy song (like really really hype lol) so I loved that they kept that tension and still incorporated their signature Pentagon rawness and free energy. Nobody can do it like Pentagon. Verivery-Having the performance being in one-take is such a bold and risky move. I wished the show didn’t edit in the reaction cuts from the other groups cuz it kinda took away from that experience, it’s better to see the whole uncut performance on YT. Setting up and getting into position in such a small time for the camera is not easy to do at all so I have to give them props for going with that. I like that they made it very musical with the acting and props. Basing your whole performance off of a movie has its pros and cons. It’s still creative, but the plot is already there so it’s not original in that aspect. There’s a difference between taking inspiration and doing a recreation of it. The only thing I probably wish they could’ve done was play with the Jafar and Aladdin story a little more and create some cool battle scene between them, cuz that’s essentially the meat of the story. It was still a very enjoyable performance tho. They were given a really difficult song to arrange but they did a really good job with it. The Boyz-okay I feel like these three groups had like the hardest songs to work with because Shangri-La is also no joke lol. Shangri-La is so iconic that it’s already a bad idea to even do it😅 The theme “Shangri-La” is already so pronounced with the traditional concept, and the use of fans was revolutionary when VIXX performed this. Doing “Shangri-La” itself wouldn’t have been as creative because it would just be a copy, but coming up with the extra element of “finding Shangri-La” was pure genius. And to add Moonlight Sonata on top of that?? Bruh the creativity from these boys is insane. And you know I freakin love it when groups add contemporary in their performance. This whole performance was art, literally. When that silhouette part happened it was like another “omg they’ve done it again” moment. They’ve come up with another crazy idea that’s so good. It’s also cool that you can feel the different movements in the perf just like how a piano piece would have. The story is too big-brained for me I can’t begin to explain it lol. Their storytelling is always so mad, and that’s like one of their biggest strengths so I’m glad they are using that to their advantage. Oh boy not an easy round at all. The finale is just madness so prepare yourselves for that. It’s also like 2 hours long lol. The songs you heard at the end were each group’s comeback song for the purpose of the show. Ahhh the journey’s about to come to an end. I really enjoyed this, and as for your next show, I’d be happy with anything. Well if it’s a survival show I’m gonna hate it because I hate survival shows, they just hurt lol. But I love watching them anyways. You know with their marketing strategy you come to love the group even more when you see their struggles and perseverance. I haven’t watched treasure box but I did watch nizi project. Another show you could start is I-land since you just reacted to Enhypen. All seem good to me.

If I may make a humble recommendation, I would suggest that you guys check out Produce 48 after this. 100 trainees (with half of them being from AKB48--Japan's megahuge idol group) compete to make the cut for a team that will debut in both Korea and Japan.
