« CONVEX showcase overview »
boys, boys and more boys! anyone who knows me knows i’m a big fan of boy groups (mostly), so, when i heard of a showcase on the 30th of june for a new sphere boy group, called CONVEX, consisting of no less than 13 boys, well, it’s safe to say my ass was at that performance hall even before the doors opened. i couldn’t keep myself away! i simply had to see the hot new talent one of my favourite companies was releasing into the world, and let me tell you, it was worth every minute spent on the packed subway. i enjoyed myself so much during the afternoon show that i went right back for the evening one, eager to see those beautiful boys a second time.
so, without further ado, i’m going to give you my opinions on these boys and who i think they are - some i know, some i have yet to learn even the names of.
the group, as some may already have heard, is split into three sub-units, the vocal unit, the performance unit, and the rap unit (which makes recognising each member so much easier - thank you again, baek jiyoung, for you’re truly outstanding intellect ).
LET’S START WITH THE VOCAL UNIT!
here’s a face i’ve seen before - at first i couldn’t put my finger on where from, but then it clicked. i saw a picture back in 2015 of this man kissing one park ‘piper’ eunji, a kt trainee at the time (who i followed casually for a while). not to bring up old, forgotten things, though. since then i’m sure i saw him in a sphere concert before. needless to say this guy’s been floating around for years now, and boy am i glad he’s finally surfaced. the talent this man has is incredible. not to mention he’s painfully attractive. in short, i’m excited to see more of him. the showcase wasn’t nearly enough to sate my hunger.
this is one i’m unsure on, but lord does it feel like i’ve seen him before, and he could be kim jinwook who was on mga season 3, but i’m not 100% sure. nevertheless, he’s got a beautiful voice. the showcase was enough to prove to me that this boy has what it takes to go far with that voice of his. might not be exactly ‘my type’, but he’s surely talented, and his lips are somethin’ else!
felt his voice in my guts
what the heck do i even say about this god-given being?! when he sang my actual insides did about twenty-thousands flips, in the best way. he has such a soulful voice i want to hear just him sing a million ballads. he’s definitely making me feel things! could’ve sworn i saw him somewhere before too, but definitely not at vividly as the last two boys. even so, this guy is gonna go far, i feel it in my soul. he had great stage presence, and a smile that could light up the room. i truly love this guy.
mr eyesmile aka lee jinki
i’ve definitely seen this wonderful man before, and that was in mga season 3 as well; he was a finalist in fact. i knew him the moment i saw him, from the beautiful eyesmile no one could forget. he has this really sweet aura, and his voice, a very pure, clear yet delightful sound really works for his ‘nice guy’ appearance. he seems to know how to hold himself well on stage as well, clearly from being in front of audiences and cameras and judges before. overall, i’m really looking forward to seeing more of him.
THIS BOY! never before have i seen such a beautiful boy (after my bf of course) who looked like he walked right out of an anime. he had this charming, sort of nervous feel to him, as if he was much newer to performing than, say, lee jinki. i have a feeling he’s a newer trainee, possibly around having been a trainee for around a year? that being said, he was truly a good pick for the boy group. his voice is soft and sweet, seemingly just like him, and though there does seem to be some distinctive personality and depth to his voice that really distinguishable to him. clearly, he’s my type, so this little one is very much in the running to be my bias in convex!
THAT’S IT FOR THE VOCAL UNIT! 5 down, 8 more to go! my next (convex) post will be on the rappers of convex, so keep an eye out for that!
