/ (HOT!) Title: Let’s watch R-Connect 10 Episode 1 together, let’s goooo
The long-awaited day has arrived.
Thump thump thump thump.
< Comment >
Damn, that island view is killer. At this point the island feels as familiar as my own living room lol
⤷ For real lol Back in Season 1, it had that “mysterious island never revealed to anyone” vibe.
Jun Shin’s first appearance destroyed me.
Ugh, I wish this were a dream... My boy is on R-Connect, fuckㅠㅠㅠ Am I supposed to be happy about this or not? This trash show.
Jun Shin’s face alone is insane lol Not just anyone gets to be Moving’s face, right?
Hair, makeup, outfit, all perfect... Look at him doing the interview well too... Yeah... our Jun... do whatever you want... I’ll just cry and make gifs...
ㅠㅠ Jun Shin, leave the show.
Jun Shin, you shouldn’t use a dating show to hide that you’re dating someone from your own group. You know this is deceiving fans, right? If you’re going to date, at least be quiet about it, but you two were dying to make it obvious on Instagram, and now R-Connect? What a joke.
⤷ What the hell is this about?
⤷ Don’t feed it, just some obsessive freak.
⤷ Moving’s Jun Shin is dating Michael. They made it so obvious all the fans know. Ignored every demand for clarification / turned off a live broadcast midway / no statement, then he appears on a dating show, and R-Connect at that. He will absolutely be held accountable for all of this.
⤷ Damn, Moving fans are scary.
⤷ Did too much shipping rot your brain? lol
⤷ Are they actually dating? Is it okay to go on a dating show if you’re dating?
⤷ Wait but if members of the same group date, isn’t that actually good for fans??? Or not??? I’m not an idol fangirl so idk but if it were me I’d be like... actually nice?
⤷ Shut up if you don’t know.
⤷ Fuck, why are you suddenly cursing?
⤷ The problem isn’t them dating within the same group. It’s that if they don’t want to hurt the other members, they should at least make an effort to hide it... And when fans seriously ask for clarification, is it that hard to say “no” just once? Michael suddenly sighed during a live and said, “This is really hard,” then turned it off... and now Jun Shin’s side goes on a goddamn dating show, so of course fans are mad.
⤷ What the fuck, I thought I’d walked into the Moving fan cafe. Go back to your own cafe.
⤷ Do not feed ----------
Love that they showed his professional moments with cross-editing... I trusted Producer Yoo... She’s good at stuff like this...
Second: Omega Hee Jun Kang.
Two idols back-to-back, damn. Strong lineup.
So I think it was just hard for me to believe that my two favorite idols are both on R-Connect of all things.
Jun Shin X Hee Jun Kang.
⤷ And that’s how both groups exploded.
⤷ They get along. I’m jealous.
⤷ ㅠㅠ fuckㅠㅠ
Third: Omega Isu Yoon.
With two idols and one actor there, Isu Yoon looks kinda drained lololol
⤷ Same lololol And of all idol members, they’re variety-show types lololol
⤷ Why? He’s answering well and greeting people well too lol
Isu Yoon’s voice is really nice...
Potato appears.
Fourth: Alpha Tommy.
What is that giant Potato? The Potato smiles like Thomas.
Tommy lololol why are you coming in so brightly? The genre suddenly changed lololol
There are no bad Tommys in this world~
⤷ No Bad Tommy.
His positive energy is too much, I can’t look at the screen. Why is it so bright lololol
⤷ Sunshine therapy.
Ah, his voice is so loud lololol I!!!!! Look forward!!!!!!! To working with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Putting a kid like this on R-Connect... Producer Yoo, you cruel person...
⤷ Don’t you remember Season 7? lol Rabbit Guy was the hottest one.
⤷ Same lololol I thought he was called Rabbit Guy because he looked like a rabbit, but it was because he was quick to—never mind lololol
⤷ How dare you compare our boy to thatㅠ Gross! I’ve been waiting for fans like these though ;-)
⤷ The fan above lol
...
Seventh: Alpha Sun Choi.
★☆The Emperor Returns☆★
Huh? Sun Choi is coming out first???? I thought he’d be last.
Wait, were eight people reported in total??? If Sun Choi isn’t last, who’s behind him?
⤷ Gyeol Go.
⤷ ? Why push some nobody as the final entrance?
Sun Choi’s physique is insane... Tommy looked huge too, but Sun Choi’s shoulders are just...
National swimmer, triple gold medalist. Of course.
He looks so calm, but when they called him the Swimming Emperor, his eyebrow twitched lol
⤷ Ah, that was kinda adorable lololol
⤷ It’s famous that he gets embarrassed when people call him Emperor lol Cute.
⤷ Aqua Emperor.
Why is Sun Choi coming on this trashy R-Connect... this awful show... why...
⤷ If it’s trash, don’t fucking watch it.
⤷ Exactly.
Wow, but his shoulders really are broad... Clothes hang differently on him... Hurry up and take them off.
⤷ Saying “take them off” from the start, huh.
⤷ If he’s on R-Connect, taking clothes off is inevitable.
⤷ Blessing for the eyes incoming.
One person left, right??
Hurry up and bring out the last nobody so we can move on.
⤷ Don’t call him nobodyㅠㅠ He has fans... I’m sad...
⤷ He is a nobody from a failed idol group, though.
He’s coming out.
Eighth: Gyeol Go.
?
?
????
Fuck, what is this?
Is he insane?
I think I just went blind.
?? A talent like that exists in Korea?
Is that really Gyeol Go????
?
Did they change the casting?
⤷ No no, looks like it’s Gyeol Go. The caption says so.
Wow, I think this is the first time in my life I’ve seen a face like that. Living long has its perks. He looks like he was sculpted in a 3D game, damn.
⤷ Even if you carved a statue, you couldn’t make it that pretty; I’m shocked.
With that face, he could take the “once-in-a-thousand-years idol” title. Someone explain how he ended up in a failed group.
Wait, how did his skin get that white? Does that make sense??? He used to have darker skin, almost bronze.
⤷ Maybe he was heavily tanned back then...??
⤷ In a world where skin resurfacing exists, anything’s possible.
Wow, that close-up with the sea in the background just became a legendary screenshot. I captured it like I was possessed. (Gyeol_first_appearance.jpg)
⤷ Thanks.
⤷ Thanks thanks. Saved. Bless you.
⤷ I’m only reading this thread, but after seeing that pic, my brain stopped. Is that edited? Is he really that pretty?
⤷ It’s an unedited screenshot... insane.
I wondered why he was last, but Producer Yoo had a plan all along;
⤷ Same.
⤷ Same;;;; Not just anyone becomes a famous producer, seriously.
Why are they showing this close-up for so long lololololol Isn’t this too much? lololol
⤷ The camera director must’ve been so shocked they forgot to do their job.
The fact that Producer Yoo isn’t cross-editing Gyeol’s past photos is killing me lolol
⤷ Known genius of cross-editing... and the past of Gyeol Go she abandoned.
⤷ I’d abandon it too.
⤷ Wow, but a raw gem like this??? Doesn’t that mean only Producer Yoo recognized him? Amazing. What a scary woman.
Tommy’s expression: ㅇ0ㅇ!!!!!!!!!!!
⤷ Ah, so accurate lololololol
Hey hey hey, I think Sun Choi fell for him. He can’t take his eyes off him.
⤷ Can’t take my eyes~~~ off you~~~
⤷ No, Emperor!!!!!11!11
⤷ I bought stock. Going all in.
⤷ Gyeol’s about to get pierced through; that gaze is intense.
Gyeol Go is an actor???? He works? I thought he was just from a failed idol group?
⤷ (Gyeol_minor_role_drama_screenshot.jpg)
⤷ Whoa, it’s true.
⤷ Still, this feels more similar to him now than his idol days? Maybe?
⤷ He wasn’t as pretty as now even then, though. Damn, glow-up much? Did he get work done?
⤷ The styling itself is so different... I think his old styling just didn’t suit him at all. If you look closely, his eyes, nose, and mouth are the same?
Young-and-beautiful evaluator) Score: 100 points.
⤷ Whoa.
⤷ Isn’t this the first time the evaluator gave 100?
⤷ Season 8’s Shin Young had the highest score at 95, whoa.
⤷ Is that really the evaluator?; 100 is too much no matter what. Don’t fake it.
⤷ (Evaluator_identity_proof.jpg)
⤷ Fuck, it really is the evaluator.
What’s with Jun Shin’s expression... Am I the only one who feels like I saw something I shouldn’t have?
⤷ I’m feeling the exact same thing right now.
⤷ That’s the gaze of someone looking at their first love, what...???? Why is it so...
⤷ I hate this because people start saying trash like R-Connect is a garbage show and then this “first love” crap.
⤷ Moving fan, get lost.
⤷ No, I’m a Moving fan too... and even I can’t find words right now. Huh..? Huh? Our boy...
⤷ Same... As a fan, I’m detecting legendary levels of weirdness...
⤷ I think we have to pretend we didn’t see it.
Jun Shin is doing that on purpose to cover up the Michael dating rumor. Don’t get ahead of yourselves.
⤷ Makes sense.
⤷ What makes sense? The Jun Shin and Michael dating rumor itself was created by obsessive delusional fansㅠ Ignore it.
...
Gyeol giving up first place to help Isu Yoon is the first scene like this in dating-show history.
⤷ Same. I’ve never seen it either. Where did this angel come from...
⤷ I was moved too...
After watching everyone in R-Connect go crazy, desperate to win first place, seeing Gyeol is like Archangel Michael descending.
⤷ That face and that personality.
⤷ ㅠ He’s my favorite now, for real.
I don’t get it; isn’t Gyeol Go just a common face? Why is everyone losing it?
⤷ That face looks common to you? lol Go look in a mirror.
⤷ Above) I seriously don’t get it. Isn’t Isu Yoon better-looking?
⤷ Okay, next Isu Yoon fan.
⤷ Gyeol and Isu are roommates and look good together, so let’s not compare contestants’ looks... They’re all pretty and handsome...
...
Holy shit lololol Gyeol Go’s mailbox is stuffed with cards. What the hell?
Isn’t that unanimous Alpha votes? Damn. How many is that?
Looks like unanimous—wait, five?
⤷ ? Five?
⤷ Not four, but five?
⤷ It’s the late-entry twist!!!!!!!
Wait, they let the late-entry twist vote from the start before even appearing??? As expected, Producer Yoo’s methods are different.
Then does the late-entry twist know the current situation too??
⤷ Right. They’d have to be watching live or something for that to work, wouldn’t they?
⤷ Then what is it? Is the late-entry twist on set?
⤷ Ah, I’m dying of curiosity. Please hire me as R-Connect staff.
Wait, then that means even the late-entry twist chose Gyeol? Wow.
Gyeol Go destroyed this with his face.
⤷ Face, physically.
⤷ It wasn’t just his face though... He gave up his rank in the game and helped Isu, was proactive at dinner, and cooks well. I’d choose Gyeol too.
Dopamine is surging. They’re rewriting dating-show history.
Episode 1’s main character is just Gyeol.
⤷ For real.
⤷ Agreed.
Gyeol bumping his forehead against the locker is cute.
⤷ (Gyeol_bumping_forehead_on_locker.gif)
⤷ Ah, adorable.
(Gyeol_surprised_while_looking_at_card.jpg)
⤷ Screenshot person, you seem especially fast this time lolol???
⤷ The real-time Gyeol screenshot firepower is no joke lolol
The sweet potato card is definitely Tommy, the sportsmanship one is Sun Choi, and “I missed you” is Jun Shin, right...?
⤷ Yeah, judging from what we’ve seen so far, seems like it. For now, Jun Shin and Gyeol debuted together in the past. There has to be some basic backstory for “I missed you” to make sense.
⤷ Hmm, there might be a twist. Could be the other way around.
⤷ Isn’t it a potato, not a sweet potato? lololol???
⤷ It’s a potatoㅠㅠ Our boy might just be bad at drawing.
Then “Think only of me” is the late-entry twist?
⤷ “I’d like to go on a date with you later” might be the late-entry twist.
⤷ Honestly, it’s all speculation right now lol We don’t know anything.
Twist: Sun Choi wrote the sweet potato card.
⤷ Fuck lololololololol I hate that!!11 That’d be so out of character!!
⤷ Sun Choi lolol He’s so heavy and quiet, but the sweet potato card lololol
⤷ Sun Choi: The rolled omelet was really delicious. Amazing. (sweet potato wink)
⤷ Ah, it doesn’t suit him at all.
⤷ It’s not a sweet potato, it’s a potatoㅠㅠ
Huff huff huff, looks like they’re showing Gyeol’s choice right away.
I bet my wrist on Jun Shin.
⤷ Reason: They spent a long time as trainees and debuted together, so maybe he’d be the most comfortable?
⤷ It’s the opposite, idiot. Would you choose your ex-spouse?
⤷ Ex-spouse lolol Isn’t that going too far? No shippingㅠ
⤷ Jun-Gyeol is an ancient stock.
⤷ Come to think of it, if we search, there must be old two-shot photos of Jun Shin X Gyeol Go.
Hmm... I think it’ll be Tommy. The easiest—cough.
⤷ How can you say “because he’s easy”? That’s too mean to Potato. But I also think Tommy is the easiest—cough.
⤷ Gyeol probably won’t choose Tommy. They don’t really have a connection.
⤷ Why!!!!1 Tommy can love an older guy too.
Obviously the Emperor, no? Go, Aqua Emperor, I choose you!!
⤷ You have exited the genre.
⤷ lololololol That’s randomly hilarious.
⤷ Same, I bet on Sun Choi too.
⤷ Of course it’s Sun Choi. He has the strongest “top Alpha man” energy.
Hurry, hurry.
Ah, fuck.
Ah.
Ah!! ! ! ! ! They cut it off here!!!!! Fuckㅏㅏ!ㅏ! ㅏ! ! ! !
Their cliffhanger skills are still insane. I’m losing my mind, wow.
The panelists and fans all screaming together is funny. Actually, it’s not funny.
Producer Yoo, you woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How am I supposed to wait until next week? Damn, aaaaagh, aaaaaaagh, waaaaaagh.
Who did Gyeol choose!!!!!!!!! Hey!!! (smashes keyboard)
