Hey UMASTs,
today I just wanna express my opinion...about this two artist; Johnny's Yuma-kun and Wanna One's Bae Jin Young.
In the J-Pop's world, Yuma-kun will always be my first bias and favorite, of course. However in K-Pop's world I still haven't found my bias yet. Of course I love K-Pop just how I love J-Pop. It just that I think that all of the K-Pop's idols are all in the same level. All of them are great and amazing and that makes me hard to pick any of them as my number one. Maybe...? Haha 😅
However, recently, I have found a candidate to become my number 1 bias in K-Pop world! And that's after I watched the Produce 101 Program Season 2. Still just a candidate tho.
Bae Jin Young,
the 10th place at the last placing in the Produce 101 @ the 10th member of 'Wanna One'.
I'm still not clear how I choose my favorite till now, actually. But somehow I can feel the same 'something' in BaeJin just like I sense it in Yuma-kun.
When he was in Produce 101, there's a lot of people who underestimate BaeJin's talent as an idol and said that he's all about his visual only. I don't know if there's still people like that after he's debut as a Wanna One member. If so, I think I will hate them forever in my life and I'll like BaeJin more and more. Since it was also like that in Yuma-kun's case.
In Yuma-kun's case (just like how UMASTs knew), he became the center of attention after he debut in 2009. First because he suddenly separated from his previous group; 7 West, and joined the Tokyo group; BI Shadow. Second, because of his age since he's still 15 years old that time. And third, they said that he got debut only because he was Johnny-san (the president) favorite.
And one of the reason that BaeJin piqued my interest in him, maybe because I saw how hard-working he is and saw the improvement that he show every week in the Produce 101. Just like how I saw how hard-working Yuma-kun is ever since he joined Johnny's Entertainment when he was a 12 years old kid. As an UMASTs, even now we all know how diligent Yuma-kun is with all of his works either in singing, dancing, acting, stage plays, talks and even in the composing. Right?
BaeJin has a natural talent in singing and dancing. Not to mention, his great visual. His voice are unique and soothing, and his dance are really good. I think there's a lot of people who realize that and that's how he ended up became one of the last top 11 trainee (maybe only the haters doesn't realize that). It just that...he has really low of confidence in himself especially when he was on stage and in front of the trainers. It's really surprised me when he performed the 'Oh Little Girl' song. Like..who is this guy? Is it really the same BaeJin?! I really love it!! 💓
Different from Yuma-kun who is really confident and always had a lot of fun on his stage ('it was his greatest weapon as an artist' - said Yara-kun). The only thing that maybe lacked in Yuma-kun is natural talent in dance. His voice and acting are really good from the beginning. But it's not that case for his dance. It was through a really hard-working that he got better in dancing. We can see that in his performances, concerts and stage plays. Isn't it, my fellow UMASTs? Hehe...
Anyway, let's see how BaeJin is for now.
I'm curious myself either he will become my first bias in K-Pop world or not.
I don't care if he doesn't become the number 1 member of Wanna One and I don't even care if he doesn't have a high popularity like Kang Daniel. What I want to see is his effort to climb up especially after Wanna One disband next year. I wonder what will happen to him after that. Will he become a soloist artist like Yuma-kun? Hehe 😙
Best of luck, Bae Jin Young!! 😎💘
