Kingdom Legendary Wars Episode 3 (part 3 of 3) SF9
Who's gonna win once we factor in all of the public voting!?!?! There were a lot of amazing performances in this round, but I definitely have to say ATEEZ crushed it for sure. So did the Stray Kids and the other groups of course, but I could see how ATEEZ was top from judges and the other groups. What did YOU think?

Idk why MNET insisted on calling this song Jealous in the titles of those clips and performances. The English title is Now or never. Fans have nicknamed it Jealous because the Korean word in the chorus 질렀어 (pronounced jill-loh-sso) sounds similar. But the word actually means “I went for it” or “I’m all in” or similar. The song is about throwing caution to the wind and going after the person you want, obsessively, even when you know they’re going to be the death of you, that they could care less. So the theme of stealing a person’s beauty, their soul, or inner essence, really fits those lyrics. It seemed to me that the perfume motif was about intoxication or thrall or something like that. One thing to know about SF9 too is that all of the, are actors and most of them are musical theatre actors. As of Kingdom, Jaeyoon, Inseong, and YooTaeYang were in musicals, Dawon, Youngbin, Zuho, and Hwiyoung had been in tv series, and Chani has been acting since childhood (you’ll see references to that in the next set of performances). Chani’s latest movie (from 2025) was nominated and shown at Cannes. Not long after Kingdom, Rowoon’s acting career got so big he left the group to pursue it full time. And bonus: just for fun, you should check out YooTaeYang’s performance of Golgotha from the Korean arrangement of Ben-Hur. His voice is completely different when he sings for musicals—I was astonished when I heard him sing like this the first time. His pop singing voice is so different. https://youtu.be/ZMp2lQnYlq0?si=_uV9GKOR6I_SLvNg
I LOVE THE IDEA of you watching the songs they are using on the contest to see the differences. JEALOUS is NOT the name of the song. It's Now Or Never, they say it when they select the song for the performance. What a shame you didn't try listening to a second you would have noticed really quick. Trust Youtube! Hahaha... Also, do you see the two presenters of the show? Those are the two members of TVXQ. The one on the right, Changmin, has one of the best voices on KPOP and a crazy control, his high notes are INSANE. You should really check their Killing Voice. Like I'm not even kidding both Yunho and Changmin are INSANE singers. And I will go recommend some SF9 to the request sheet. hopefully some get some attention.
Oh man I don't know much (anything, really) about SF9 but I loved the dramatic, moody performance that starts as a waltz and gets like... a little disco at the end? It was something wild. Very cool to see. Loving this series still!
Oh the Ending Fairy 😂
I am still in the middle of watching but it is Now or never is the MV for Jealous!
Yes it is!
