INFINITE Ranking King Eps 8~9: Highlights + Comments

This time, I have tons of poorly taken screenshots. Enjoy.

Episode 8 - Part 2 of Fashion King

gyusoo making fun of woohyun's height
sung gyu: short body
myung soo: shortest body
*ok i know it sounds awk but that's directly translated and it's only funny if you speak fluent conversational/casual Korean

even with all his efforts to get extra points
sung yeol got 7th place
sung yeol: you're not pretty at all up close!
LMFAO you brat

Announcing last place - Hoya: I really don't want to be last I really don't
Announcing 6th place - Hoya: I really don't want to be 6th
Announcing 5th place - Hoya: I really really don't want to be 5th
Sung Yeol: What the heck do you want to be then??
Hoya: 1st!
lolol

Sung Gyu - 3rd place
the model (sorry i don't rmb her name): I personally really liked your photo though.
Sung Gyu: Then who hated it?

When Sung Gyu said they should separate each other according to ranks - high, mid, and low
Hoya insisted that he was in the middle rank w/ Dong Woo
Sung Gyu just said nope you belong with the low ranked ppl
Hoya then says that the "tall noona" said he belonged in the middle rank
LOL

Okay, I realized now that this Fashion King thing was based more on who could wear any kind of clothing and still look good in it, rather being based on who had the best fashion sense. The pre-rankings were based on the latter, and if the later rankings were as well, then that would be redundant, wouldn't it? So that's why the stylist chose the clothes herself and it was up to INFINITE to make the clothes look desirable and attractive by taking on different postures and facial expressions. Yeah I know "Fashion King" is not really exactly the best phrase to summarize the episode if the entire 2 episodes weren't wholly based on the boys' fashion sense, but let's just move on and not complain, shall we?

I must complain that this episode seemed like a parody of Korea's Next Top Model and I didn't like it because I hate that show. Alright moving on



Episode 9 -Let's see who actually tries

This episode was a test of INFINITE's determination and spirit.

Woo Hyun shaking his booty while hitting the moles
look at Sung Yeol in the corner
he looks like he's judging Woo Hyun very hard
lol

Sung Jong seems like he will forever be the most fun to pick on amongst INFINITE
those mean three hyungs be impersonating Sung Jong

I love how they included Hoya in the ranking and labeled him as "disqualified" omg

the random techno dance session
oh why

LOL Sung Yeol's legs were too long to fit in the tiny car

OMG LOL acting as an "old person crossing the street" omg

Sung Yeol acting as someone working at a gas station
Sung Gyu refuses to pay, Sung Yeol rages and shouts out "Give me 50000 won!"
omg lawl

Sung Gyu: Move out of the way!
Doesn't even bother to try to avoid Woo Hyun, just hits him frontal

This was so cute I just had to screenshot it

According to Dong Woo, you should just kidnap a wild animal if one appears in your way

Again Sung Yeol with the 50000 won
ohmygod lawl

Sung Gyu: Were people born in 2003 as well?
Yes yes they were not everyone was born before the 2000's, gyu
But yeah it's kinda weird to meet someone who was born in the 2000's

silly Woo Hyun

Sung Gyu seemed quite fond of the kid-teacher

weirdo

this was also very cute I just had to screenshot it

Woogyu complaining that everyone else except Dong Woo were at a disadvantage
because Dong Woo was the only one with a license
and these two go on to say that they were "innocent" and only rode taxis
while Dong Woo wasn't innocent and drove around
lmfao

omg you guys have no idea how jelly I was of these boys
I want to go car-racing too
well of course not in actual cars I don't have a license
but something like this
it would be fun

and the two members with the least determination to even try winning the race

omg lol was this even necessary

LMFAO
not sure if he spat that out afterwards or actually swallowed all of that champagne

Sung Yeol and Sung Gyu were constantly on fire (?) with each other in this ep
Aww Sung Yeol stop provoking your hyung haha

While Sung Gyu goes on to say that he will win next time blah blah
Myung Soo just tells him to take his hands out of his pockets - a.k.a stop acting all high and mighty
lol

It was absolutely adorable to watch these boys ride tiny cars for practice. Then I started to get jelly when they started riding actual karts; it looked like so much fun, plus I could tell the weather was beautiful by looking at the sky. Ahh what a perfect day to go kart-racing. Omg.

The next episode is a test of courage. Oh my god I used to be obsessed with courage tests and really wanted to have one every summer ever since I was a kid. MEH I AM ONCE AGAIN JELLY OF INFINITE. Can't wait for the next episode!

INFINITE's Ranking King Ep 7: Highlights & Comments

And here's another post regarding INFINITE's Ranking King! This time around, the 7 dorks are competing against each other to win first for the title, "Fashion King".

The pre-rankings are:

1. Dong Woo
2. Sung Jong
3. Hoya
4. Sung Yeol
5. Woo Hyun
6. Sung Gyu
7. L

I agree with most of the ranking; Dong Woo and Sung Jong are definitely on top for fashion. From all the fantaken photos, I can tell they know what kind of top goes with what kind of accessories, bottoms, shoes, and yeah. I think Woo Hyun could've been ranked a little higher, but maybe I'm slightly biased, because I like some of the clothes he wear. L definitely ranks last. Boy, that boy just...wears whatever he finds comfortable, I think. Kind of like me when I just go out to buy lunch in my neighborhood; I sometimes go out in my pj's. As for the remaining three (Hoya, Sung Yeol, and Sung Gyu), I think they're fine. But yeah, Sung Gyu's obsession (?) over leopard print was cringe-worthy in some of the photos shown.

Anyway, without further ado, here are some screenshots that mark my highlights of this week's episode. Yes, there will be spoilers. Heck, this entire post is full of spoilers already from the beginning.

Well he was asked to evaluate Sung Yeol's fashion...
and then he just...yeah came to this state as pictured.
*Note: This is L.
Sung Yeol's reason for being ranked as 4th is apparently because he always wears the same clothes.
ooh that's me i wore the exact same outfit 3 days in a row once

Sung Yeol's pose.......
Thank god I wasn't drinking/eating sth cuz otherwise I would've just spat it out at my laptop screen

omg i would be embarrassed to be your friend sung yeol

Sung Gyu describes Sung Yeol as a "망한 캐릭터" = "Doomed Character"
망한 캐릭터 = manghan character --> 망캐 = mang kae
is mangkae actually one of the popular abbreviations being used on the internet in Korea right now?
Damn, Koreans with their creativity with words

L keeps on LMAO-ing and Sung Yeol tries to explain that L told him to do those kind of poses or sth
And then Sung Yeol's like hey stop laughing and starts hitting L
and then L can't take it anymore and is like "IT HURTS! DON'T HIT ME!"
LOL L and his random outbursts

actually nvm
Sung Yeol's is much better
wth are you doing Sung Gyu omg lmao

Aftershock of Sung Jong's "Smile!" pose
Omg even I would've just fallen to the floor and rofl-ed
wth was that Sung Jong
omg everyone in INFINITE is so weird

Hoya's late reaction
when everyone else is still dying and lmao-ing

Dong Woo says Sung Gyu should open up the top two buttons of his shirt
Sung Gyu says no cuz his mom doesn't like it
this is the second time he's mentioned his mom on RK
lmao
cute

Dong Woo doesn't give up and tries to convince Sung Gyu with an old proverb
and fails
Sung Gyu has to correct him
lmao

lol omg
Dong Woo you're so annoying hahahaha

I still didn't get why his outfit --> Dong Woo's a perv!
He was barely revealing any skin except his arms
but anyway yeah his outfit kind of burdened our #1 fashionista

Dong Woo's kinda losing his mind over his outfit
Sung Gyu's just going wtf at the 2nd oldest member in INFINITE

Sung Gyu reassures Dong Woo and he says he looks like Super Mario
omg yes he's right
he actually does with his baggy overalls
omg
enlightenment <-- wtf?

INFINITE's top two weirdos
someone really should gif this moment and spread it on tumblr
it was just
really
such a
typical 2woo moment.

Dong Woo imitates Woo Hyun when he throws "hearts" at his fans
omg his voice was so damn accurate

"Tadah!"
"My shoes are too big."
That's the first thing he says right after "Tadah!"
LAWL

The episode just ends off with the younger three members' outfits as secret. I suppose the Fashion King arc will be a two-episode thing like Brain King was.

Okay, I have a few complaints regarding this ep though. If the purpose of this ep was to find out who's the #1 fashionista in INFINITE, then why don't the writers let INFINITE themselves choose the outfits? Okay sure they get to choose the accessories themselves, and the hairstyle kinda, but that's it? That's the only factor we can consider when it comes to choosing who's the fashionista? Seriously? Am I the only one who found that weird? It bothered me a little throughout the latter half of this ep. I can only assume they did that to save time, but still. I'm disappointed.

Oh and apparently how they pose during their photoshoot also comes into play. What the hell...I'm not even sure whether this time around the writers are looking for the best fashionista, or the best person put out to be a model in INFINITE. *smh* Pretty poor planning of the episode, I must say. Heck this entire program is poorly written actually, I only find it enjoyable because of INFINITE. Whatever, it's fine. Not really gonna complain too much.

This one is sort of a minor complaint, but, I think it would've been interesting to show how they barged into INFINITE's dorm one day. Yeah, sort of unrelated to the entire topic of the ep, but still? No? Oh alright then.


Anyway, that was my outlook on this week's episode of INFINITE's Ranking King. Adios for now~

Highlights of INFINITE Ranking King Episode 4

To quickly introduce the context of the most recent episode, INFINITE are playing a game of search and elimination - searching for weapons (water guns), ammunition (small plastic bottles of paint), and their respective targets, and eliminating them. In the beginning, this was how the targets were assigned: Woo Hyun --> Sung Gyu --> Dong Woo --> Hoya --> L --> Sung Yeol --> Sung Jong. And now, with the remaining survivors: Woo Hyun --> Dong Woo --> Sung Yeol --> Sung Jong. And the eliminated ones - Hoya and L are seen planning to play with the survivors and confuse them, while Sung Gyu is just following his master, Woo Hyun around.

Anyway, here are some of my personal highlights of this episode: (Note: The words are not exactly as quoted by the people so yeah, AND yes these are spoilers)

L: Sung Gyu is definitely out.
Hoya: He probably killed himself.

Dong Woo's bold and fearsome act + Engrish (?) (His English pronunciation is actually good)
Dong Woo: Anybody here??
YeolYeolYeolYeol! Hey guys~? I love you guys!

Sung Jong and Dong Woo meet, and Sung Jong complains about how everyone's attacking him, and he doesn't understand why.
Dong Woo: Because you're the maknae!
Sung Jong: *WTF expression* *hence the laser beam the video editor dude kindly put in*

Woo Hyun: So who's dead right now?
Sung Gyu: Me me me!
Woo Hyun: Yeah, you're probably the only one dead, since hyung is really the most stupid person (out of INFINITE)
Sung Gyu: *laughs*

And the one who went into hiding for quite a while reveals himself and tries to find his target. Then Sung Yeol runs into L who's already dead, to get some info out of him. And L kindly gives him false information and Sung Yeol runs off thinking his new target is Woo Hyun, when actually his target is still Sung Jong. And L just evilly smiles and mouths "You die!"

After pointlessly shooting at Woo Hyun, Sung Yeol finds out that Sung Jong is still alive, and tries to plan a temporary alliance with Woo Hyun so that the final showdown would be between them. The eliminated soon lose all motivation to continue filming, and L suggests that they go out for some chicken.

Woo Hyun: Don't you want to take revenge on Dong Woo?
Hoya: *flares nostrils*
Hoya, regains his motivation to film.

Dong Woo eliminates Sung Yeol, and while he's distracted with the others trying to confuse him, regarding who's alive and whatnot, Hoya gives Woo Hyun a signal and Woo Hyun kills off Dong Woo. And everyone makes fun of him for falling for the lies and stuff while Dong Woo just laughs.

Now the final showdown is between Woo Hyun and Sung Jong. All the other members wish him luck by giving him all the stuff they've been holding for several hours...It isn't evident whether they're actually trying to help Woo Hyun or to just burden him. Oh god I love INFINITE.

And these three are just chillin'

Sung Yeol is still walking around, looking for Sung Jong, as he mutters "I haven't even seen Sung Jong's face once during this game!" Isn't that kind of sad

Hoya finally finds Sung Jong and kindly helps him out!

At the sound of someone coming, Sung Jong loses it and just shoots at random places - Sung Yeol is one of the victims. Hoya, who's actually trying to help the maknae, gets shot too.

And so the winner is Woo Hyun, and he reorganizes the ranking. He just throws Sung Gyu's figure away since he's last and he doesn't fit in the last row anyway (look at red circle). Sung Jong suggests that since Sung Gyu always gets last place his figure should just be made smaller to fit the last row. The leader is clearly not happy with the maknae's lack of respect towards him.

And the teasing continues. When Hoya says last place was practically made for Sung Gyu, the leader shouts "Hey! What goes well with last place anyway?!" and Hoya smugly replies, "Kkol Gyu!" *Kkol Gyu is an abbreviation for Kkol Chi Sung Gyu, which means "Last Place Sung Gyu."

Alright all my highlights kind of summarized the episode...so basically this wasn't spoiler-free in any way. I tried to cut down on the details though haha. Anyway, the episode was quite enjoyable, and the next Ranking King episode will apparently be based on physical ability. Will Sung Gyu be able to win 1st place this time around? Kekeke.

Sign reads: "Leader Kkol Gyu"

Btw this post took a looong time to finish with all the screenshotting and photoshopping and whatnot yeah just wanted to put it out there
