Ron Does Stuff

We’ve finally reached the ~Final Round~, and unlike previous episodes of The Howling, this one is going to be LIVE and will feature a performance from Enhypen and an appearance by RM! So I am plopping down and watching it LIVE as well!

3:01 p.m. Right form the bat the subtitles aren’t matching so my golly this might be a rough watch.

3:03 Okay so the 11 guys will be split into two and perform with K, Nicholas, EJ, and Taki. Now they’re introducing the producers and good golly wytie looks bored like take an espresso shot or something.

3:06 Oh god they’re translating as the other people are speaking and I am laughing I dunno why.

3:08 RM sitting with Bang PD! And I am laughing at how they didn’t even introduce Bang PD like damn hahahaha

3:15 Okay the sound is not working for me so I can’t really tell if this performance sounds good but the dancing is great! and the boys looks so cute and charming!

3:22 Honestly the subtitles are not helping at all I am barely following what is happening so I am just reacting to the boys being happy and doing stuff without understanding anything being said.

3:23 Oh Running with the Pack is produced by Slow Rabbit he’s always good! OH ARMS HELLO. Gotta admit K really draws attention. Which is why I guess is why he’s part of the debuting. OMG JUMP SCARE WYT PERSON. OH LOOK AT RM HE LOOKS LIKE HE’S HAVING FUN.

3:32 Okay they’re doing the “what does the show mean to you thing” and my gosh Taki has grown? Like I still remember his tiny self from I-Land so much has changed I am ancient.

3:37 What happened there what was happening with the audience hahahahaha

3:40 They really gotta fix the sound on this because I am not hearing anything I don’t know if this is any good or maybe I am already losing my hearing do I hear the sound of Death’s wings. K really does stand out though no doubt.

3:44 I have not fucking idea what wytie is talking about but because of the translation happening as he’s speaking but it did seem like he had nice words for Junwon?

3:46 Oh they’re already going to announce the debuting members this is happening all so quickly? I thought this would be longer? Or maybe i just got used to those overlong Filipino reality competition shows?

3:48 DEBUT MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENT! THE NERVES!

JO IS FIRST ONE CALLED! Also who is the coiffed guy they keep showing? Is he an important person? Damn whytie looks bored. Hopefully it’s just the jet lag.

HARUA IS UP NEXT! That seems like it was a come from behind thing because I don’t think he placed high in the preliminary but then again the preliminary was just 10 points or something.

OH MAKI IS UP NEXT I DID NOT EXPECT THIS ONE AGAIN BASED ON PRELIMINARY RESULTS.

YET ANOTHER SURPRISE BECAUSE YUMA WASN’T HIGH UP ON PRELIMINARY RESULTS.

FUMA IS THE FIFTH AND FINAL ONE DEBUTING!

Oh man I wanted Hikaru and Gaku to be part of the final group but that’s the way the cookie crumbles!

3:56 &Team is…a name but I’ll get used to it like I get used to everything it’s fine it’s fine. Like for real it sounds like when they named the winner of Boyband PH…Boyband PH. But life goes on.

4:01 OH DAMN WHY LET THEM SPEAK AFTER THIS JUST LET THEM GO AND HAVE A CRY SOMEWHERE DAMN

NO HIKARU MY BABY MY CHILD OH NO STOP THE INSANITY I DON’T NEED TO SEE THEM CRY DAMN

Oh Minhyung baby you’re still so young there’s still so much life ahead of you this is just a bump in the road don’t worry.

4:15 THIS EXTENDED TALK THINGIE IS NOT IT Although maybe this is a Japanese TV staple so let’s roll with it!

4:20 Enhypen speaking now I thought they were going to perform though! DAMN NOW THIS THING FEELS SO LONG NOW.

4:28 Sorry you guys but all of this could have been shown in like an Enhypen & Hi sort of variety thing now it’s just dragging on for way too long.

4:39 JESUS CHRIST THEY’RE STILL GOING COME ON NOW JUST TURN THIS INTO VARIETY SHOW CONTENT FOR DOWN THE LINE.

4:48 IT’S STILL GOING ARE YOU AT LEAST GOING TO MAKE THEM PERFORM OR SOMETHING?

4:53 AND WE’RE DONE! Gotta be honest, the long talkies at the end was a little anti-climactic. That really should have been variety show content instead!
