zb1 career rehabilitation
Jun. 21st, 2025 08:43 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
as one may guess from my page, i've been a zerose since the very beginning of boys planet. the past few months have been disappointment upon disappointment.... obviously their management has always been terrible but i feel like it's felt so much worse recently, probably since they're clearly gonna be disbanding soon and if the rumours of cj and yuehua beefing are true, then there's no hopes of even an extension. here is how i would improve things (i know people may get mad at some of the things i have to say and to that i say: idc):
music:
- MORE HOUSE, MORE GROOVINESS, MORE R&B
- in bloom, yura yura and good so bad are their best title tracks and what do all those songs have in common? whimsical, cutesy, bright, fun. they're all a bit different but that element is present in all of them. all their title tracks should give me that
- you had me at hello..... let's get back to the drawing board
- their songs need to feel more Deep and Full. i'm not sure how to describe it but often it feels like something is missing and i don't know what it is. just compare it to the songs of groups who are celebrated for their discography ie exo, wjsn, shinee, infinite, kara (honestly 2nd gen in general had songs that made you feel like you were inside the song so whatever that was zb1 should've had it, especially with their stacked talents). get full8loom and monotree in there... sweetune is dead i'm pretty sure but like revive them. wtf
- STOP HAVING THEM SING SO HIGH OH MY GODDDDDDDDD YOU HAVE VOICES LIKE GUNWOOK, HAO, AND TAERAE'S IN THE GROUP WHO EITHER SOUND GREAT IN THEIR LOWER REGISTER, CLEARLY STRUGGLE WITH THE HIGHER NOTES OR BOTH
- let the members contribute to the music????????? you want me to believe that nearly every single one of them has shown interest in that and even released their own selfmade music but they don't wanna contribute and get royalties from the albums or that at the very least gunwook doesn't want to write his own rap verse oh wait he did this for feel the pop and the verse he wrote for it that he performed for one of their encores yet didn't make the album sounds better than the studio version oh okay
performances:
- where. are. the. hanbin. dance. breaks. and where is hanbin waacking???!?!?!?!?!?! more tutting too please???!??!?!?!??!! that geonihani dance break was incredible
- choreo in general needs to improve..... idk how bc idk shit about dance but something is off. maybe have hanbin contribute some ideas. yura yura, good so bad and sweat are great though
- there should be more cover stages idgaf if there are quite a few i want more AND THEY SHOULD'VE COVERED THE CHASER BY INFINITE BY NOW IDGAFFFFFFFF
variety:
- MORE OT9 HELLOOOOOOOO zbtving once a week is not gonna cut it. they should be putting out MOSTLY group content. behind the scenes of photoshoot after brand deal after useless bs is so ERGHHHHH
- bring back zb1 folder, zbtving was clearly supposed to replace that but it's mostly shit and the members are being broken up into units take me back to debut era zb1 folder
- i was the only person tuning into the radio shows but make them go on those again. they feel relaxing and won't take as much out of the members
- full group variety shows in general for comeback promotions thank you very much!
generally:
- someone needs to intervene with their crazy disordered eating because i've never seen a group lose so much weight but hey that's just a problem with the kpop industry as a whole so it's never changing
now ones that are more member specific....
hanbin:
- baby stop trying to make acting happen i know it's mostly your loser akgaes holding a gun to your head but unless you're gonna play a quirky weird role or some fucked up horror character i don't really want it like i want none of that prince charming romantic heterosexual male lead shit i'm a lesbian
- put down the lip filler
jiwoong:
- shibalgate should've been handled WAYYYYYYYYY better. not sure how exactly but for one he shouldn't have coke ranted on bubble and changed his profile description to a shady chinese proverb he ruined the group's reputation lowkey
- actually attempt to get close to the members and don't only yaoibait it's so glaringly obvious you're not close to them but at least act NORMAL
- should've been forced to live in the dorms with them AT LEAST during comeback/promo periods because that would've helped him be closer to them
- put down the lip and... general face fillers
hao:
- i feel like sometimes he says too much. like why are you complaining about your doctor doctor lines when gunwook (?) said you all had equal but shorter-in-length lines.... c'mon. but that's it!
- he needs to do more proper covers, especially ones that show off his lower register, run run was delicious
- put down the lip filler and chin implant
matthew:
- idk if he does this on purpose but i feel like he acts dumb and it annoys me. or at least pay attention. why does this guy know nothing
- i don't think he has any procedures that are too crazy so he's off the hook for now
taerae:
- his dancing has improved a lottttttt but idk i think if he could have Proper dance lessons that'd be really beneficial because it's not like he stands out too much but sometimes i look at him and am like aw
- i think he's laid off it a bit recently but the evnne mentions were getting a bit much like we get it zb1 is dying and you're gonna debut with them (unless they're permanent?)
- put down the lip (and general face?) filler
ricky:
- can you pretend to care.... people blame it on mismanagement (same people who made up the whole is a feminine she/her woman who loves pink and hello kitty and rainbows personality for him when he's clearly just a Very Typical Sleek man lmao) but idk it just seems like he dgaf. is he depressed is that part of it
- i hate the gf fan service he does i know other members do it but it's especially cringy with him, i think it's because he just does not care as i previously said. stop it, your heart's not in it you're not hanbin
- he put down the chin filler from debut era THANK GOD! he's OFF THE HOOK!
gyuvin:
- more vocal lessons, more dance lessons
- the hanbin obsession..... girl let's chill out you are gonna be separated in like half a year, what are you gonna do then?
- shut up about yuehua oh my god WE DON'T CARE
gunwook:
- i don't have anything to complain about this is crazy.. he's not even my bias and he's perfect-ish (as perfect as a male idol can be at least)
yujin:
- like with ricky PLEASE CARE MOREEEEEEEEEEE it shows in EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
