Fan Forum: Debates and Reactions to HEX’s Variety Show Appearances

title: Choi Seung-beom, what on earth is his true identity…? Why is he even good at fishing?

comment(8)

└Doyoung asked him at the showcase, and he said he used to go often with his grandfather before debut, lol.

└It’s such a fitting reason, I’m bewildered.

****

title: How can you not love a genius cat? Ughㅠㅠㅠ

‘My taste is so incredibly specific and gorgeous that, honestly, I wasn’t thrilled with this concept. But Yohan is such a genius that I just melted.’

‘I never thought I’d live to see the day I’d be so obsessed with a refreshing concept.’

‘The persimmon-orange hair chalk suited him so perfectly that tears just streamed down my face. Kwon Yohan, what are you? A baby? Or a plum candy? Is that your way of asking to be eaten in one bite?’

‘His eye-smile is going to give me a heart attack soon.’

comment(22)

└Looks like the company hasn’t fired him yet, thank goodness.

└Can’t be fired, gotta unbox albums ^^!

└Summer Day Yohan is rainbow sherbet VS plum candy.

└No, he’s a peach crush.

└Wow, perfect fit.

title: Why? Do I look like someone crying while watching a deserted island variety show right now?

“It’s a relief you’re the Leader, hyung.”

‘Why is this reality? It feels like a massive ‘log-life’ universe.’

comment(19)

└I was touched by that too ㅠㅠㅠ Yohan… did you decide to be Yoon Jihyuk’s self-esteem protector? You god-baby angel.

└It probably is a relief, since he covers up all the crap he stirs up like a fool, lol. Wow, they’re really twisting this.

└How can you say something like that…?

****

title: Became a fan after seeing their ‘good side’.

‘They used to have this intimidating image because their aura was so intense, but after seeing their ‘good side,’ they’re overflowing with humanity, and I’ve grown fond of them haha. Is it because they’re not wearing makeup?’

‘Doyoung and Seon bickering like elementary schoolers is especially adorable. Choi Seung-beom is subtly funny too; he does strange things without hesitation, all with a serious face, lol.’

‘But it’s true, their expressions are a bit rough, like high school boys, so they seem like the type to be easily misunderstood. I guess that can’t be helped.’

comment(3)

└Wow, *that’s* what made you a fan…?

└?? Is there a problem?

└Do some searching.

****

title: If every variety show appearance is like this, shouldn’t we just hope they don’t go on them at all? ㅎㅎ

‘Byung-joo, Byung-joo, did you perhaps borrow money from broadcast PDs and not pay it back?’

‘There weren’t any major problematic statements like last time, but… the editing direction feels subtly ominous.’

‘Why are they maliciously editing a show that only fans will watch anyway? If it’s going to be like this, let’s just create our own content.’

‘Why did the self-produced content, which they made so well before debut, just vanish? I thought it was positive that they were appearing on variety shows during their comeback, but this is just throwing cold water on everything.’

‘Are they determined to block new fans from joining or something?’

comment(52)

└Ah, I thought I was being sensitive, but everyone felt similarly.

└The kids are cute ㅠㅠㅠ but it feels like something bad is always about to happen? Something’s off?

└Exactly… I mean, if they went all the way to a deserted island, shouldn’t it be entertaining?

└UNI-Q turns me into a self-content parrot.

└222

└333333

└But… the kids were a bit rude to the production staff… I was surprised.

└No, where exactly?!?!?!?!?!

└There were rules, but they kept whining and breaking them arbitrarily ㅠㅠ

└Do you perhaps not usually watch variety shows?

****

title: But why is Kwon Yohan really just standing there, doing nothing and watching?

‘He said he was sick before filming… but that was *before* filming.’

‘The others are struggling to build a fire, fish, and cook, but he’s just standing there blankly by himself. Is he… a princess?’

‘I really don’t understand. What on earth is the reason for being so uncooperative in communal living?’

‘The kids even went fishing to prepare food, but he didn’t lift a finger, saying he couldn’t eat seafood, lol. It was so passive-aggressive… and Jihyuk, who’s putting up with it, is such a saint ㅠㅠ.’

‘I’m sick of watching it. I also really dislike how he suddenly acts friendly with the other kids. It’s so obvious he’s trying to create a ‘blatant fan service’ situation, isn’t it? He’s truly cunning and scary…’

comment(90)

└Blatant fan service…? Where on earth did you get that impression? Can you tell me?

└You need to watch the broadcast yourself;;

└No, I watched it, and I don’t understand, which is why I’m asking, lol.

└Ah~ I know what you mean, I get the vibe, lol. It was a bit too obvious.

└Yohan isn’t a princess, he’s a young master ^^

└Who asked?

****

title: ㅠㅠ I came here to fangirl, but why is the atmosphere like this ㅠㅠ;; So flustered.

‘I’ve streamed so much that now… it feels like I was born with this as my background music.’

‘My head aches a little and I feel nauseous, but the feeling isn’t bad. But I never knew Yohan sang so well; he’s really good.’

‘It has a kind of dawn aesthetic… a moist, emotional vibe…☆ The humming part is so pleasant that I keep replaying it.’

‘Was it because the intense choreography made him struggle that his talent wasn’t apparent before? His expression looked relaxed, and it was so good. Before, he was the only one who seemed like a rookie, lol.’

‘Are these really kids who debuted just over half a year ago? ㅠㅠㅠ A world where my idol is a genius… it’s so warm…’

‘I loved that they didn’t try to be overly cute and pretty, but rather went for a moderately refreshing concept.’

‘My memories were seriously manipulated. Ah, it was summer. From this year, the four seasons are SpringHEXAutumnWinter.’

comment(2)

└To say it was because of intense choreography… even on the audio track… ㅎㅎ

└Is that so? Then he must have improved a lot ㅎㅅㅎ!!

****

title: I’ve been thinking about why Yohan feels so different lately.

‘I think it’s because that desperate feeling he had up until his third month, that sense of urgency, has disappeared.’

‘Before, it was so obvious he worked hard at searching and cared deeply about every single fan reaction. You could also see his sense of debt over things he wasn’t good at.’

‘He was anxious because he knew he wasn’t better than the other kids, but now his skills have somewhat stabilized, and he’s blended in with the others, so there’s no need for him to feel mentally distressed.’

‘Naturally, his attitude would change. I have a friend who used to be Yohan’s fansite master but recently switched to another member.’

‘She said that the feeling of ‘he won’t make it unless I support him’ disappeared, and she just cooled off, lol.’

‘When I first heard it, I thought she wasn’t normal, but after chewing on it, I kind of get it.’

comment(127)

└You know, pretending to be so insightful, as if you see through everything, and arbitrarily psychoanalyzing the members like this is really rude to them, right?

└?? What’s rude? I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have.

└I’m a fan of another group and I really don’t understand, so I’m asking ㅠ So you guys… like it when an idol is unhappy?

└It doesn’t mean everyone is like that, it means there were some fans who consumed him with a ‘tragic something’ vibe; I obviously don’t want my idol to be unhappy;; Why are so many people misinterpreting this? I don’t get it.

└It’s not a misinterpretation, that’s the gist of what you wrote; isn’t it saying that fans leave when he stops looking depressed and struggling?

└You’re a fan of another group, so why are you judging arbitrarily? You haven’t personally fangirled over him, have you?

└Seriously, it’s impossible to reason with you…….

└This post will soon be swarmed by furious Kwon-fans.

****

title: Guysㅠㅠㅠㅠ!!!! Sehan is appearing in a web drama!!

‘He’s appearing as the second male lead in a web drama based on a webtoon, on DNET ㅠㅠ.’

comment(184)

└Why are you talking about him here?

└Weren’t you all waiting for Sehan’s news too? ㅠ

└Seriously not curious;

└We should ban pre-debut mentions. How awful.

└No ㅠ We all did it together until last year, so why can’t we mention him? He didn’t leave on bad terms, and the members even said they support him.

└Fans of the kids who didn’t make the debut lineup are still lurking to find fault… We don’t like it, but Jung Sehan gets cursed at too.

└Take down the post, student ㅎ.

****

title: Seung-beom seems surprisingly timid, lol.

‘He’s not overtly dramatic, so it doesn’t show much, but if you look closely, he’s creaking like a robot ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.’

‘It’s driving me crazy, seriously. Did he just try to hide behind someone half his size? Is he for real?’

‘What Kwon Yohan said was hilarious too.’

Choi Seung-beom: `(He recoiled after hearing a strange sound.)`

Yohan: “Hyung, even if that’s a ghost, you’ll win anyway.”

‘What kind of nonsense is that, Yohan…? Is he a ghost-catching hyung (physically), lol?’

‘Choi Seung-beom, why are you nodding your head as if that’s right, lol? You can clearly see he relaxed after that!’

‘Did he actually get convinced? I’m tearing up.’

comment(8)

└Hahaha, I seriously cried while watching that too. Am I watching a horror experience or a skit?

└One vote for skit.

└Two votes.

└But honestly, HEX probably doesn’t need to worry about ghosts. They’d probably be exorcised just by appearing, overwhelmed by their sheer positive energy?

└Are you going to make me cry too?

****

title: Mild Taste Episode 5 Preview;

‘Yohan must have been truly sick. Jihyuk was furiously telling the production crew they needed to stop filming.’

‘Those who cursed him for just sitting still, step forward.’

comment(213)

└You believe that lol.

└???

└Kwon Yohan often flakes out. Schedules have been messed up because of him many times, and he’s even missed fan signs ㅎ… Anyone who follows them on site knows this, so why does everyone believe it? If he was really sick, would the production crew really talk like that? It’s nonsense… Usually, everyone just keeps quiet, but I’m so frustrated I had to speak up.

└Is this true??????

└But if I say his cold demeanor is sexy amidst all this, am I crazy? ㅎ

└I thought the same thing but held back…ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└You perverts are going wild.

└If he wasn’t really sick, would Yoon Jihyuk really overreact like that? Guys, if you have brains, use them…

└Why are you saying Jihyuk is overreacting? ㅠ

└You… sigh… never mind…

└But why are these GBS bastards dropping something like this the day before the final episode?

└It seems Byung-joo really did borrow money and not pay it back.
