Universe League Episode 8

Team Beat Dominated!!!

MY BEST PERFORMANCE:
1. Don't Hit the Brakes (Team Rhythm) / On & On (Team Beat)
2. Butterfly (Team Groove)

I'm actually so torn between Team Rhythm and Team Beat, I felt like they both performed so well I couldn't even choose one!!

It was unbelievable for me to see how many on-site votes 'Don't Hit the Brakes' got. It was way better than their 'Roller Coaster'. But I think it made sense since Team Beat just really did well that the other on-site voters voted for them.

Personally, my top group in this mission is Team Beat. Both 'My, My, My' and On & On' were their best performances so far.

International votes just changed everything. Both on-site and global votes felt a bit unfair. How I wish there were actual professionals who could actually judge the performances. Votes could only reflect popularity, not the actual performance result.

On the other hand, I think global votes made it better than just having on-site votes because the ones who should be recognized for their ability were really recognized here, like Park Han. It frustrated me how he was only in the 6th or 7th place before. Xenophobia was also avoided because of this.

I just didn't understand why Ten and YangYang chose to scout Seo Jeongwoo. Was it because of his popularity? I honestly wished they had brought back Sirin or Heejun instead. Based on their facial expressions, it seemed like they also wanted to return to Team Rhythm. But anyway, I'll wait and see how Jeongwoo fits into Team Rhythm. He's not a bad choice at all, and his popularity could definitely be an advantage for the team.

Nonetheless, I'm so happy that Juwon is back with Team Rhythm. My power trio is complete again: JL, Steven, Juwon. And I also found my vocal trio: JL, Zen Zen, and Li Zhinuo.

BEST PERFORMERS:
Team Butterfly: Park Han (Sirin and Kenta did so well, too!)
Team Beat: Kairi (almost all of their members have improved a lot, so proud of them!! At least, Woongki did not have to carry the whole team alone)
Team Rhythm: Steven (I was amazed with Zen Zen and Li Zhinuo, they were the only players who were able to keep up with the strongest players in TR—they even supported JL in vocal and dance)
