Source: Xsportnews via Naver

1. [+2259, -161]  How can she be that pretty ㅜㅜ

2. [+1941, -99]  Both Taeyang and Min Hyorin seem like good people and suit each other pretty well.  Hope they have a good relationship.

3. [+1809, -88]  She speaks well and I like that she's straightforward on Slam Dunk.  Let's get you on a good drama.  I'm cheering you on.

4. [+1382, -85]  This is interesting ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, they're such a pretty couple

5. [+1110, -71]  This couple is so beautiful!  I'm cheering their love on!

6. [+354, -46]  Definitely a win for Taeyang ㅋㅋㅋ He was already positively liked before the dating news with Min Hyorin and he's somehow even better after ㅋㅋ

7. [+234, -15]  Park Jinyoung did 80% alone today too.  Reminds me of the sayings for the big three.  SM: Money's the best, YG: Our kids are the best, JYP: I'm the best

8. [+297, -41]  But her clothes look like she isn't wearing much, they should pay more attention to her outfits

9. [+191, -14]  I think JYP and YG discuss a lot of things together

1. [+2386, -140]  Min Hyorin's really pretty..

2. [+1462, -78]  They're a pretty couple ㅎㅎ

3. [+1378, -63]  She's straightforward and very pretty.  Hope her and Taeyang will last ~

4. [+1352, -44]  I feel like Taeyang treats her very well!!

5. [+1126, -60]  As Taeyang's fan, I like Min Hyorin unnie very much.❤  Date for a long, long time and become Taeyang oppa's inspiration.

6. [+1054, -66]  The two of them suit each other well

7. [+794, -53]  She's really prettyㅠㅠ  It's nice to know that it seems like they're dating happily ❤

Lee Hi, Taeyang, and Zion. T cover Winner's upcoming song 'Baby Baby'

Cover 01: Lee Hi

Article: YG's Lee Hi appears after a year... the first runner-up to cover Winner's song
Source: OSEN via Naver

1. [+107, -0]  YG, this is your special promotion????  Is he insane?????  He's really going to make other artists in their company cover songs that haven't even been released yet???????????????????????

2. [+92, 0]  The song's nice but is this promotion really for the benefit of Winner... or just using Winner for other artists....

3. [+77, 0]  A cover for a song that hasn't even been released yet?  Has he gone mad...?  Do it after the song's been released or something... I was really looking forward to it, but this is the special promotion you were talking about...?  If you're going to do covers, why not just do it for 'Pricked' instead?  I don't think this promotion is the way to go...

4. [+59, 0]  Haa... I don't understand anymore... Be honest, is this really for Winner's sake and not for YG...?  What's giving me goosebumps is that there'll be 9 other covers after this... Please, let us listen to the album first and then the covers.  What are you trying to pull here

5. [+51, -2]  And the album is going to come out when...

6. [+39, 0]  Is this for the benefit of Winner?  Once the actual song from Winner comes out, I have this feeling like the surprise has already been revealed though...

7. [+44, -2]  I should've known the minute they said it was Yang Hyun Suk who planned the promotions himself.  What a shitty promotion tactic this is.

8. [+37, 0]  Does he not know the meaning of "cover"...?  A cover is re-make made of a song that's "already been released" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This isn't the time for you to be taking out your artists from your treasure box ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+36, 0]  This is the 'special' promotionㅋ Yang CEO, please just stay still

10. [+35, 0]  YG ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is he really insane? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Please explain to me who this promotion is for ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+33, 0] This promotion tactic won't make Lee Hi's fans or Winner's fans happy ㅋ It's a bizarre way to promote a song.  This concerns both Lee Hi's and Winner's fans who have been waiting and anticipating for their artist's comeback after being locked and hidden for well over a year.  All this promotion has done is put everyone in a weird position, where Lee Hi covers another group's song and Winner's new songs get covered before its release ㅋㅋㅋ

12. [+31, 0]  Why cover a song that hasn't been released??  It was fine to do it for 'Eyes Nose Lips' after the song hit daebak but ㅠㅠ what's the purpose of doing this??

13. [+33, -1]  You should be giving Lee Hi a new song, why are you making her do a cover?  Winner's song hasn't even been released so why are there covers for it?



Cover 02: Taeyang

1. [+1144, -34]  The song's really good  ㅜㅜㅠ  I hope these promotion plans benefit Winner... Winner, let's become daebak!!!!

2. [+1055, -28] When I first heard that they were going to let other artists cover a song that hasn't been released yet and because all of Winner's teasers aren't even out yet... I was a bit taken aback.  I feel thankful to the seniors who sang Winner's new song beautifully and all I'm hoping for now is that this promotion succeeds!  Let's get Winner's 'Baby Baby' to receive a lot of love!

3. [+912, -20]  The song's great.  I want to listen to Winner singing Baby Baby already. Taeyang and Lee Hi's vocals are awesome too~

4. [+875, -38]  It's the first time I've ever seen a company CEO allow other artists to cover a song that hasn't been released yet

5. [+711, -18]  Awesome woah the song's super good ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

6. [+256, -9]  Wow, Taeyang's amazing ㄷㄷ I wanna hear Winner's version soon

7. [+245, -8]  Taeyang and Lee Hi's vocals are seriously unrivalled.  It's purifying my ears.  Can't wait for Winner's new song.

8. [+247, -10]  This is a song composed and written by Taehyun!!!  The song's great so I'm already looking forward to Winner's album!

9. [+219, -8]  I don't know what kind of promotion this is supposed to be but...be successful ㅋㅋ

10. [+200, -7]  Can't wait for the five of Winner... Nam Taehyun made a great song

11. [+183, -6]  All I'm asking for now is that these plans go well for Winner!  The song's good!

12. [+178, -7]  At first, I thought it was weird to do a cover of a song that hasn't been released but now I feel like it's not that bad ㅋ It makes me anticipate for it too  ㅋ Like I'm curious about the whole song now ㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+72, -1]  Can't believe this song was written and arranged by Nam Taehyun himself ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The song's so good

2. [+67, -1]  Wow... I never imagined he would be part of the line-up.  This cover project is becoming more and more unpredictable ㄷㄷㄷ The song's really good ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ To think this is composed by Nam Taehyun ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Wish it was February 1st already so I can listen to Winner singing it ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

3. [+60, 0]  Daebak, it's Dean....... I want to hear Winner's version already!

4. [+55, 0]  Wow daebak.... another person that I didn't expect to be a part of the line-up

5. [+53, 0]  Dean?... What's with this promotionㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so unpredictable ㅋㅋ Wow ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+45, 0]  Bet the harmony would be amazing if all the cover videos were combined together

7. [+42, -1]  Wow, the best

Article: WINNER 'EXIT': E' PRE-RELEASE COVERS
Source: Naver TV Entertainment
(tn: For this specific promotion, Naver is using and featuring the same article on the front page and just updating as new covers get released so it's hard to filter out the top comments (which I already translated on Day 2) for each one.  Since it's a compilation of all the covers in one article, I'll try my best to filter out the most up-voted comments for today's and the upcoming ones as well.  The following won't be in any particular order.)

- [+41, 0]  Hul even Dean ㄷㄷㄷ All the covers are by people who have voices that's unrivalled.  I'm reading the comments and it seems there are people who are worried about the comparisons to the covers that might happen once the song is released.  Of course, I'm not going to lie that I'm worried as well but don't forget that Winner members themselves have voices that are unique, strong and when put together, it's like honey ㅠㅠ To people that have heard them, you're already well aware of this.  All I'm asking for now is that their album gets released soon!  February's taking so long ㄷㄷ

- [+40, 0]  Looks like they picked out a great rising rookie, Dean's a perfect choice ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  Out of all the artists so far, he's the one that really makes this strategy a win-win situation for both parties!!!  Anyway, I was really surprised that this was composed by Nam Taehyun wow ㅋㅋ Be successful Winner!!!  ㅋㅋㅋ

- [+35, -2]  The fans are underestimating themselves too much.  I believe that Winner as musicians will be able to bring in their own feel to this song.  Plus, it won't be just a solo, it'll be a whole group's vocal harmony with rap too.  Songs do tend to get boring after being dragged out but I bet that Winner's original song won't be one that you'll get tired of easily.  All of their voices are differently unique so I think they'll be able to pull off a trendy, dynamic blues feel to the song that many can enjoy.  That's one of Winner's strong points.

- [+25, 0]  My favourites were Dean and Taeyang's!  This wasn't on my radar but looks like Winner's song will be great ㅋㅋ

2. [+55, 0]  Akmu is so cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I have no idea what the song will be like because of their arrangement, but it sounds good!

3. [+54, 0]  I love that Winner's making a comeback and the song's really good

4. [+50, 0]  As expected of Akmu ㅠㅠㅠㅠ The song's great.  I can't wait for Winner's

5. [+49, 0] Sentimental~  Maybe because it's Akdong Musician, but the song sounds bright and cheerful ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wonder what the original song will be like..

6. [+29, 0]  It seems like they arranged the song to match Akdong Musician.  They're so cute.  I can't wait to listen to the original especially since it's composed by Nam Taehyun!  Hurry up Feb 1st!

1. [+53, -1]  It has a much brighter feel to it than I thought... is it because of the arrangement?  Anyway, I like the song!  I wanna hear the original already!  Suhyun's so cute ㅋㅋ

2. [+44, -1]  As expected of Winner.  ♥♥The song's freaking good....♥♥

3. [+43, 0] Adorable ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI like the song

4. [+43, 0]  Cute ㅋㅋㅋ I can't imagine what the song will sound like because of their arrangement

5. [+34, 0]  Akmu's so freaking cute ㅠㅠ How can they be sing so well and be so cute at the same timeㅠㅠ It's so nice to see them again after a long time.  I have a feeling Winner's Sentimental will be daebak.  Hope both of them come out already

6. [+33, -1]  Akmu's really cute ㅠㅠ The song's great!  I want to listen to the original now

7. [+32, 0]  Akmu's so cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The feeling to it is a bit different from how the song was introduced.  I wonder if they arranged it especially to fit Akmu for this cover?  I'm so curious about the original ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Wish it was already Feb 1st so I can listen to Winner singing this too ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


Article: WINNER 'EXIT': E' PRE-RELEASE COVERS

- [+22, -3]  Looks they specially arranged this to be lively for Akmu. I bet the original song will have a different feel to it.  I can't wait to hear the song.  But isn't Suhyun way too cute?

- [+28, -1]  I really have a feeling Sentimental will be daebak.... I love that Winner has such a variety of genres

- [+9, -1]  Why aren't they putting out albums for Akdong Musician and Lee Hi?  I know there was an article about Lee Hi's album, but will it really happen this year?

- [+14, -1]  YG's put a lot of thought into this.  It seems like he's confident in the songs for allowing other great artists to sing it too plus it showcases Winner's composition and lyric-writing skills... they've also gained attention by using a special promotion where the cover comes out before the song release and we're not just waiting around aimlessly until Feb 1st, they're actually letting us listen to the songs little by little.  It's great.


'Sentimental' Cover 06: Katie Kim

1. [+114, -4]  It's got a whole different feel to it.  She sings well and the song's great.

2. [+104, -5]  As expected, YG's got a lot of kids with great vocal colours ㅋㅋ Plus even Zion.T and Dean did a cover ㅜㅜ I thought only Big Bang's Made promotion was like a blockbuster from YG but they're also trying fresh and new things for iKON and Winner's too~ I'm anticipating Winner's album and Lee Hi's (and Katie Kim's and Akdong Musician's) ^^

3. [+95, -3]  'Sentimental' sounds different again, it's really making me more curious about the original

4. [+91, -4]  Looks like Katie Kim's improved over that time period.  I think she's ready to release an album too...

5. [+80, -4]  I got goosebumps from the first second when she sang "Sentimental~"... Katie Kim sings really well.  I want to hear the original already ^^

6. [+77, -3]  I can't put my finger on it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like it's a lot different from the original, can't wait

7. [+66, -3]  This version's totally different too.  I heard the original song is fun ㅎㅎㅎ The song's so good every time I hear it ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Wish it was Feb 1st already

8. [+56, -3]  Katie Kim's singing seems to have improved.  Just how much greater is she going to be at this rate?

4. [+332, -12]  This isn't a dream right??  GD's really covering Sentimental?  Bet Nam Taehyun's already bowing since such a huge senior covered it

5. [+299, -1]  Ah I love the feeling to it ㅠㅠㅠ

6. [+253, -1]  Wow I like it.... thank you!!!!!  Let's make the song on Feb 1st become daebak!!

Song Mino and Taeyang's "Fear" all kill on the charts

Source: TV Report via Naver

1. [+9425, -1164]  Song Mino was also good but Taeyang's skill was just God-like...

2. [+7950, -1330]  Both of them did great.  Taeyang and Song Mino's voices mesh so well together

3. [+6448, -1398]  Both Blacknut and Mino were good.  Song Mino and Taeyang's song was so touching..

4. [+3655, -188]  Lilboi's empty spot could be felt so greatly on this broadcast.  I don't know the editing and interest given to Basick+Innovator seemed so one-sided

5. [+1741, -375]  Blacknut's image was turned over from one broadcast ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  People are so cunning

6. [+1279, -163]  Thank you for showing us great stages yesterday.  It's sad to see Blacknut eliminated but I hope he'll show us more cool stages after this

7. [+1547, -462]  He would've been able to shake off the YG tag if Taeyang didn't come out

8. [+1429, -453]  Song Mino did really well on his stage last night.  Everything's tough

9. [+1242, -375]  Song Mino got so much better... he was so good yesterday... I guess he is still young.

10. [+1363, -552]  Both of them were good.  I'm not a fan of either Song Mino or Blacknut but the song that I want to keep listening to over and over is Song Mino's.  That's just the way I see it~

4. [+2560, -771]  Blacknut was good!!!!!!!!!

5. [+3281, -2273]  It was a great battle between Blacknut vs Taeyang!

6. [+512, -36]  All of them were good!  But did some producers from SSK go to SMTM?  The show gives off a Super Star K vibe

7. [+651, -209]  Song Mino did such a great job yesterday.  Got goosebumps and I keep listening to it

8. [+563, -127]  Scary how there's so many people cosplaying as Blacknut fans just to spit hate on Mino here..;;

3. [+281, -14]  They all released songs but I keep listening to Song Mino's "Fear"... it's so freaking good... fighting

4. [+279, -14]  Song Mino has sincerity and skill

5. [+263, -12]  I'm always touched to see him challenging and putting effort and passion into everything he does.  Show us a good stage in the finals~!!!

6. [+167, -1]  Fear is so damn good.  I cried because I could relate so much to the lyrics...

7. [+166, -2]  The fact that he hasn't made a mistake in his performance and kept his composure even during a situation where his mentality might have easily crumbled... I have nothing but admiration for that...

8. [+166, -2]  Stay strong Mino, I believe in you


Article: Song Mino & Taeyang's "Fear" all kill on 8 charts... SMTM4's power
Source: OSEN via Naver

1. [+964, -196]  Song Mino and Taeyang's combination is so dope!  The song's daebak

2. [+952, -207]  The song and its lyrics were so well-written~~  It matches Taeyang's vocal colour too~~  and it makes you want to listen to it over and over.  Don't mind people who hate on you whatever you do.  Just do your best up until the finals!

3. [+843, -108]  I was so shocked when I watched the "Fear" stage this morning.  They were sooo good.  But I also feel bad that Blacknut got eliminated

4. [+742, -109]  It was a great stage.  I could feel their sincerity in the lyrics

5. [+925, -542]  I liked Song Mino's stage more than Blacknut's.  Taeyang fit so well with the song.. Kya

6. [+339, -64]  To be honest, Song Mino's song was near perfect.  Blacknut did express his story well and he was able to bring a touching stage with it but overall the song delivery for "Fear" was really great.  Zico wrote an amazing song and Song Mino's rap was great and filled with charisma.  I don't even have anything else to say for Taeyang's featuring.  I realized again why "Taeyang" is "Taeyang", it was just such a high class stage.  I feel that this song will stay on the charts for a long time.  You can't really hate on it because of how good the song is.  Both of them did so well and they've both worked very hard.

7. [+282, -29]  Zico's song, Song Mino's rap, Taeyang's vocal all meshed so well together.  Taeyang's just a wall but Song Mino didn't lose against him either even though he's still a rookie.  The lyrics had a lot of sincerity in it and the rap was well done.  The song fit so well for the two of them.  The hook melody is exactly something fit for Taeyang ㅋㅋ

8. [+256, -29]  Song Mino did great.  Taeyang was also really good and daebak to Zico who made the song.  I don't watch SMTM but I love this song

9. [+232, -23]  Now I know why the major leagues are the way they are.  'Raw' songs have their own charm to them but Song Mino and Taeyang's stage this time around... wow.  They put their genuine feelings in the performance and it was refreshing to see it.  They executed it well

10. [+214, -24]  Loved the stage.  I'm supporting Song Mino

Infinity Challenge Music Festival's songs take over the charts

Article: 'Infinity Challenge Music Festival' a festival uniting 40,000 audience members... see you again in two years
Source: My Daily via Naver

1. [+34,652, -1081]  Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from Jung Junha but he put a lot of effort into it and surpassed my expectations.

2. [+32,844, -978]  People, don't throw away your trash carelessly at the next festival

3. [+25,943, -1938]  I'm not lying about this... all of the stages were great.  I really think the songs will take over the charts.  Also if I had to pick the stage that touched me the most today... it would be 'As One Says'.  'As One Says' is a legendary song that was born from MuDo.  I'm already looking forward to the next festival...

4. [+19,154, -489]  Those people at the venue this year should take care of their garbage and not litter at a nice event next time!

5. [+19,893, -1260]  I'm So Sexy's so addictive and 'As One Says' ㅜㅜ

Article: 'MuDo' HwangTaeJi, an ending-stage like extravagance..  a perfect compatibility between the '88 friends
Source: OSEN via Naver

1. [+7718, -289]  The song is addictive.  I like it

2. [+5840, -213]  Daebak ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  Makes me wanna dance ㅎㅎ

3. [+5425, -200]  The song's really good too, daebak

4. [+4953, -172]   Such a good opening ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ

5. [+4481, -173]  Wow... I love it ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

6. [+1407, -65]  Looks like it's GD and Taeyang's year, Kwanghee was so cool too

7. [+1360, -68]  Wow... got goosebumps when the Bang Bang Bang part came out ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kwanghee did a great job!

8. [+1215, -24]  GD kept his promise when he said he'd make Kwanghee look awesome.  I got shocked when I saw Kwanghee.  It's really nice to see Kwanghee's wish be granted but also it makes me feel kind of sad.

9. [+1094, -138]  As expected, GD's GD... I couldn't see anyone else but him~

10. [+961, -37]  It has a similar vibe to Bang Bang Bang.  Truly an exciting song


Article: 'Infinity Challenge Music Festival' reaches 21% viewer ratings + digital chart take-over 'out of this world'
Source: OSEN via Naver

1. [+24,564, -946]  Yoon Sang's definitely a genius... he hasn't lost his touch at all for the past 20 years... Actually, he seems to be ahead of the times compared to young kids these days

2. [+22,046, -1365]  Personally, I thought Jung Junha's song was the best but it's not doing as well on the charts.  He got a lot of criticism during the preparations for the festival with his hip hop theme and all but he honestly seems to have put in a lot of effort.  Even Park Jin Young acknowledged him... Assalamu Alaykum, Hello, Bonjour, Doto Doto... aren't his lyrics so addictive?  He wrote good lyrics and Beenzino acknowledged that.

3. [+16,495, -1746]  All of the songs were great and exciting but it's too bad that that's all there was to it.  I think it would have been better to insert a ballad somewhere in the middle.  I know that exciting music is the trend these days but there's a certain touching element to ballads in the same way dance music gives one joy.  Even netizens chose 'As One Says' as a legendary song from MuDo.  Also, I hope the people who go to the festival next time will think of their surroundings and not litter like they did this year.

4. [+12,630, -444]  As expected, Infinity Challenge is Infinity Challenge

5. [+12,154, -371]  21% daebak ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  as expected of MuDo!

6. [+3409, -309]  GD and Taeyang are really incredible.  Kwanghee never really had an 'idol' or 'singer' vibe to him but they made it possible.  Amazing... Kwanghee didn't look out of place at all.


Source: TV Report via Naver

1. [+1220, -54]  Personally, I thought the real 'Infinity Challenge' was Jung Junha's..

2. [+1002, -16]  Park Myung Soo going along with the rap was so funny ㅋ

3. [+720, -12]   The viewer ratings reached 21%...  damn MuDo's amazing!

4. [+601, -24]  IU & Park Myung Soo's chemistry was great and I loved their music colour

5. [+518, -10]  As expected MuDo's MuDo

1. [+7489, -225]  YG needs to take good care of GD and Taeyang..

2. [+5619, -196]  Even Oppa's Car and Big Bang's songs are all over the top rankings of the charts ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+4340, -290]  Yeah it is pretty incredible so anyway.... care to tell me when Lee Hi's comeback will be?

4. [+3645, -154]  Incredible Big Bang....

5. [+3344, -155]  All the songs are good ♥♥♥♥♥

6. [+735, -52]  Some say that YG acts only succeed due to their company but first and foremost their songs are definitely good... they've never really released a song that I was disappointed in

7. [+721, -67]  I keep listening to 'Fear'.  I love the lyrics since I find I can relate so much to them

8. [+653, -37]  I've always known Big Bang were chart monsters but it's been more evident these days!  It's obvious that a good song will score high on the chart... Even songs that were released back in May~June are still ranking pretty high.  Fighting to Song Mino too!  I love 'Fear' so much

9. [+658, -54]  Honestly, all the kids from YG are like artists, daebak

10. [+604, -26]  YG's chart-topping power is hard to beat to be honest...

2. [+217, -29]  All six songs are seriously really good ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+174, -19]  As expected of MuDo!!!!!

Show Me The Money 4: Song Mino and Taeyang

1. [+6266, -1823]  Song Mino did really well this time but I'm scared people will hate on him and say he won because of Taeyang

2. [+4918, -517]  Honestly Taeyang's.. amazing

3. [+5222, -958]  Wow Song Mino and Taeyang are so freaking good.  They're incredible

4. [+3840, -537]  It was insanely...awesome...

5. [+3390, -515]  Loved this stage so much *%@&*(

6. [+1411, -362]  Can't we just acknowledge people's talents?  Taeyang was freaking awesome but Song Mino did really well too

7. [+1194, -156]  Wow both of them are so good... Song Mino was really cool and Taeyang's singing is always amazing

8. [+1131, -155]  Loved their stage so much... bet they'll top music charts..

9. [+1090, -143]  To be honest they were really awesome...

10. [+941, -79]  Taeyang's vocal colour is freaking insane.  His presence on stage is just wow ㅎㄷㄷ

1. [+1767, -406]  Song Mino was really good too but today's legend was Blacknut... he was really cool!

2. [+1544, -342]  Thought Blacknut would win but it's a reversal ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Both of them were super cool seriously ㅠㅠ

3. [+1886, -762]  Song Mino didn't take off his YG tag huh ㅋㅋ

4. [+994, -160]  Both of them made legendary stages today!  Really the best!

5. [+324, -80]  Not a fan of anyone but I was touched by Blacknut's stage today.  If his lyrics were sincere then he'll be able to win the public's acknowledgement more from now on

6. [+260, -29]  Wasn't Basick's stage today so awesome? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seems like everyone forgot about it ㅠㅠ  He was super good today ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+294, -66]  Song Mino gets hate whatever he does... he was really good today though, Blacknut too

8. [+204, -33] Song Mino and Blacknut both did well!  I'm looking forward to the finals~

2. [+11,269, -3568]  I admit Song Mino was good... but didn't he say he'd take off the YG tag?

3. [+9299, -1692]  To be honest both of them were great this time

4. [+9248, -2234]  So "the winner will be Song Mino anyway" was right from the startㅡㅡ

5. [+10,631, -4920]  Am I the only one pissed off about the results?

6. [+3886, -1062]  Song Mino gets hate whether he wins or loses..

3. [+439, -43]  Taeyang's such a good singer

4. [+429, -34]  The lyrics really hit home for me

5. [+407, -100]   ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  Song Mino gets hate no matter what he does ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He gets hate if he does well, he gets hate if he wins, and he'll probably get hate if he loses ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I feel bad...

6. [+402, -30]    Wow how can Taeyang be this good ;; such a talented idol

7. [+347, -39]  Today's stage was daebak.  It was so moving

8. [+318, -24]  Getting goosebumps from Taeyang's voice.... freaking awesome

10. [+228, -47]  Song Mino did so good, daebak.  You worked hard

11. [+197, -22]  It was super touching... wow


Source: Naver TV Cast

1. [+4890, -315]  It's not that Song Mino didn't do well, it's just that Taeyang was super good wow

2. [+3723, -414]  Love the song... made me teary

3. [+3309, -213]  I got goosebumps from Taeyang's voice damn... both Song Mino and Blacknut did well

4. [+3256, -372]  The song itself was wonderful and it might have had a different impact and atmosphere if you heard it live in person at the actual venue.  I think all stages were great.  Song Mino did really well and their stage was very touching..

5. [+2734, -137]  God-Taeyang ..... ㄷㄷ

6. [+2341, -271]  It was so good, I almost cried

7. [+2334, -251]  Song Mino & Taeyang were freaking awesome

8. [+2199, -227]  Zico writes good songs

9. [+1563, -159]  It was such a cool stage.  I got even more emotional because they put their sincerity into their performance, stay strong and fighting~!

10. [+1441, -141]  To be honest Song Mino was great too but has Taeyang always been this amazing?  I have goosebumps all over ㅎㄷㄷ

11. [+782, -125]  Song Mino, you're doing great.  I'll be cheering you on 'till the end

12. [+744, -52]  Taeyang's so freaking awesome

13. [+738, -149]  Mino, you were great today

Source: TV Report via Naver

1. [+402, -83]  He went on this program to show his skill but he's been knocked over here and there...going to cheer Song Mino on

2. [+218, -24]  Song Mino was amazing today

3. [+199, -24]  It was already incredible during Song Mino's part but it got even more incredible when Taeyang came out

4. [+185, -15]  Youngbae's just so good ㅋ

5. [+67, -5]  Apart from it being a competition, I thought this stage was really awesome because of how genuine it was


Source: Naver TV Cast

1. [+3232, -441]  After watching the interview, I felt that Song Mino and Blacknut are good people.  The trash producers of this show are the ones that edit the show weirdly and create controversies out of it.  Hope these two have more great stages.  Can you both stay on good terms after the show ends so you two can write a diss track dedicated to the PDs?  And to the production team, the rappers that came onto this show are not your puppets to manipulate for high ratings, get your head on straight.

2. [+1857, -117]  It was nice to see their heartfelt feelings.. whoever wins or loses, I hope they give it their all and show us a stage they won't regret.. I'm supporting both of them

3. [+1584, -149]  To be honest both of them were good

4. [+1552, -127]  After watching that, I realized that Blacknut must've been lonely since he was a young child and that Song Mino's gone through a lot of setbacks in his life.  There are people who think Song Mino got to where he's standing now easily and belittle his efforts and passion... I hope those people will decrease after listening to this rap...

5. [+1306, -100]  Both of them were so cool.  I hope everything turns out well for them

6. [+1175, -194]  Mino's parents were there too ㅠ I'll support you

7. [+552, -155]  The mission is to bring an artist from their company to sing with them so I don't understand why only one side is getting flak for it.  Also, people keep throwing the word 'fangirl' to anyone who supports Song Mino but shouldn't you be saying the same thing about Blacknut too?  Both Mino and Blacknut are good rappers, why are some of you feeling inferior and going around hating on them?  You get criticized for supporting Mino and criticized for supporting Blacknut... then what the hell is the right thing to do ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  Just let people support who they want to support!  Stop belittling them by labeling them all as 'stupid fans'.  People are so quick to jump on the bandwagon

8. [+447, -43]  Seriously, the people writing hate comments on here don't even think.  Can't you see that both Song Mino and Blacknut are both play victims of the producers?  You all don't have the right to judge someone else's character and talent by the way you're acting
