Kingdom Legendary Wars Episode 4 (3 of 3) iKON

lets be real only ateez and ikon changed those songs into their style which is such a shame they all should have changed those songs more :")

i think what makes ikon differences with other groups is they make every stages like their concert not competition hhahahahah XD im not saying if its good or bad its just them being them

Although they're the same song, for me I treat them as 2 completely different songs lol it gives such different vibe and feeling. I listened first to the IKON's ver and checked out ATEEZ's ver and wish they would keep the chorus as IKON did (just like your reaction when first listened to ATEEZ then IKON later) LOL. But I ended up loving both versions equally and put them both in my fav playlist.

please keep watching!

YES Inception is inspired by the movie Inception! Pay attention to the lyrics\sets (like all the beds) when you watch the video again. (I also love that movie) ATEEZ have a lot of movie-inspired songs like Rocky, Eternal Sunshine, and DJANGO

The monthly evaluations Wooyoung mentioned were when they were trainees. Idols live in one dorm - at least at first. ATEEZ lived in one apartment with a manager with up to three people in a room. Yes - they would go on a sold-out arena tour of the US and Europe and come home to a bunk bed with cot in the corner. In 2023 they switched to three apartments so they could each have their own room and they still refer to them as the dorm.

Fun Fact: Bobby is the rapper in the song “RISE” of League of Legends World live that you ask about in the reaction. 😁

as an iKONIC (ikon stan), i love and hate watching kingdom cause they've talked a lot about how much they have hated joining this show and how bad a time they had during it. during the period of kingdom filming, it was speculated that they were pushed to go because they wanted a YG representive (YG was one of the big 3 idol companies then). i hope you still enjoy ikon and their music! please check out their killing verse, they have really good ballads as well

The singer with the cool, raspy voice is June (pronounced Joo-neh). I looooove his singing voice. And yeah, Bobby is chill af. Doesn't take himself too seriously :D

The groups took the idea of 're-born' a bit differently. Ikon and Ateez go the furthest in totally transforming the songs which I personally like. In general, I do think Ikon are a bit more hip-hop than the others. More so in their early days perhaps. I think I mentioned before in another comment that they have a 'Killing Verse' rather than a 'Killing Voice' which shows they're categorised a bit differently.

I love Bobby - he's always having a good time on stage, and he never seems to take anything too seriously. He's a pleasure to watch for sure.

Ok couple of things. In the last episode you read the comments believing we were talking about SF9, but we were talking about The Boyz which was the group to perform on that episode. So New is from The Boyz. Regarding the last episode, they show you all of their names when they speak either behind the scenes or when they chat or in the performances when they rap/sing, just that most of them are in Korean, the names, so you don't distinguish them. The raspy voice singer is June, from iKON, his voice is really unique. Also, yes, you asked and I had told you haha but here it goes again, Changmin (The presenter) and his partner Yunho who is normally also presenting but wasn't there in the last episode, are a duo, a group called TVXQ. Changmin specifically is one of the best vocalists in the industry with crazy high notes, power and control in pitch. Yunho his partner is extraordinary as well, it is just hard to beat Changmin, but yes, I believe the TVXQ Killing Voice is already recommended, so I cannot wait for that.

Oh and the ㅋ is a Korean letter. When they use it a bunch of times, ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ they are basically saying "lol" or laughing. One ㅋ is almost sarcastic.

Tim, you should watch a classic romance K Drama. Crash Landing On You, anyone?
