[@marvinluckyallas4262]

so here are some of my insights/theories on their performance. wannabe is a song about finding and searching for their true self. joochan is the main character in the performance. at the very start they had a powerful dance routine and it ended when one of the members tried to grab the white violin. for me, violin represents their dream or desire of being a renowned artist. while white represent purity, divination and new beginnings. golcha is dreaming to be a renowned artist with their talents. joochan and jaehyun sang the first lines of the song where joochan is holding the violin but is not playing it. the performance progress like telling a story of the hardships they had to be the 'wannabe' they aimed to be. at the middle of the performance joochan played the caprice 24 (using a typical violin and not the white one) which is a very hard piece. its like in this moment they are trying to fully show and maximize their talents. some of the members are also holding a violin in jangjun's rap which makes it more obvious that they are trying and working hard to be the best. at the very end, they had a dance break where joochan is again on the center position like telling us that joochan is the main character. the performance ends with joochan trying to reach the white violin. its like telling people that they haven't reached their wannabes. because they still have hardships to face. and as you can see. they don't have any back up dancers. its because the story is about finding their true self. and they want us to focus more on golcha. im sorry for my bad english hahaha EDIT: I just saw on twitter that there are 10 instruments hanging above that white violin. 10 instruments representing golcha. 10 instruments that can bring great harmony. EDIT: i just woke up thank you for the likes! OMG! Thank you for the 300 likes huhuhu! im loving this group.

You know how Van Gogh’s artworks weren’t appreciated in his lifetime as much as they are now? This is because some masterpieces are way ahead of their time that people failed to appreciate them. This is the same as Golcha’s performances not being appreciated in the show, but the time they were already out and the show is being broadcasted, the crowd is clapping and in awe while watching them.

Why WANNABE is so precious to us? Because it is the song they’ve made as a comeback after a long suffering period of hiatus. It is such an impact song. And it sounds beautiful. Golcha is sooooo proud of this song, just like us Goldenness. It is a masterpiece if you ask me. We are proud of you so so much.

[@araikortam]

Reighzel Ianne Rodenas yes, that too :)

[@candyjiaelove1726]

The lyrics is meaningful too

[@soundlessnotes]

I do not understand how anyone can claim this performance did not tell a story?? I can clearly see Golden Child trying to portray their struggle for perfection. The choice of their song Wannabe, showing how they want to be perfect combined with Paganini's violin piece, one of the hardest composition made for violin, I can clearly see the boys wanting to express how these can be combined to form a beautiful almost tragic quest to be perfect. In my opinion, they were telling the how you need achieve almost perfection to be able to give Paganini's composition justice. The tragedy when you listen to Golden Child's singing "I wannabe you" felt like a cry. As Joochan tries to play 24 Caprices and he struggles to BE Paganini. He knows he can never be the composer but it doesn't stop him from reaching for what he sees to be perfection. Potrayed as he was reaching out to a violin until the end. If you ask me, (and of course I am biased) this deserves Top 3. To rank anything lower and be eliminated after this performance, would be the real tragic story. sorry for the long comment, it is the wee hours here and I don't wanna think our boys were really e worded... 😁 Whatever the results are tho, let's keep streaming Ness!!! Ajajaaaaaaaa~~

I'm saying this in case there's gonna be people saying, 'oh, the orchestra isn't playing. they don't even match the music' Hello there my dear, in orchestra arrangement there are at least 2 parts or maybe 4 parts.. And each of these don't have the same melodies. The first and third seat usually carries a lot more melodies and high notes. While the second and forth seat are the bass part. And hence these parts will create a harmonious melody. So if you are gonna say that Joochan or the orchestra aren't playing live, they did. *FULLSTOP* And I'm talking based on my experience in orchestra for five years as first chair french horn

[@amerbasyer]

Ikr, I would have to agree with this comment. They didn't even unleash their fullest potential yet in dancing. Maybe Woolim already laid down their road to comeback to complete the current trilogy Wannabe - Without You- .... Jangjun just can backflip, TAG can do tumbling, Donghyun are great dancers and they are quite creative when it comes to any intro or performances. Y also said they want to do something that Goldenness could be proud of. By joining this show, winning are important but getting public recognition way more important.

For 1st Round "Song of King", if you don't have enough research, Shinhwa was once called a flop group and was on verge to disbandment and compared to groups like Sechskies and H.O.T, but T.O.P is their title track savior who brought them to fame and longevity as a complete group for 22 years. For 2nd Round "My Song", WANNABE is not a love song, it's about themselves, their struggle as a group for wanting to be perfect and live up to their group name "Golden Child". In conclusion, burn MNET because Golden Child is the only one who's doing it right.

[@madeIeine]

Okay, I've calmed down, so I'll leave my two cents about this performance. You don't have an idea that this made me so much happy, seeing Golden Child used orchestra and Joochan the prodigy member playing Violin with the hardest Violin piece ever created, it's like he was possessed by Paganini so he became Joochanini like he's crazy, very crazy, the stylist did justice to Joochan's look in here (He looks like a madman, but damn refined). As a child, I was given a chance to watch in a theatre in our field trip, I couldn't remember much of it, but all I know is when I witnessed it is such a magical treat, so seeing their T.O.P made me cry and now this? I was damn worried about them doing orchestra because let's face it, nobody's a fool to do that in the second round if you want to save yourself because it's a risk to endanger your group because it's not flashy and doing it seems like it's too old for others to understand it or to be their cup of tea, but seeing this? I realized that Golden Child is doing it in *THEIR* way and I couldn't care less if they're ousted for this exquisite performance because they deserve to go to an opera house and perform and be paid there instead. I appreciate Kpop, but the way sometimes I couldn't breathe because it's way too poppy for me, but Woollim groups are the only thing I can go back if I want Kpop orchestra. Let's face it, they only did IT. INFINITE? They did it. Lovelyz? They did it. And Golden Child? They did it. In orchestra, you can feel many emotions to it, the proof of this is the OSTs of the PS4 game called "NieR:Automata", despite having chaos language, you can feel the desperation, depression, anger, and sadness, etc. all because of the orchestra music, and they had an orchestra concert, of course, it's not for free, but seeing Golden Child's performance for free is a SIN. And some had the audacity to call this doesn't have a story, symbolism exists, it might not be blatant as others, you need to see the symbolism and background research what "WANNABE" is all about. WANNABE is about a person who struggles to be perfect but failed to do so despite their desperate attempts and they begin to lose themselves because they only focus on the part of being perfect. I couldn't explain here further because the other Goldenness had already their valid explanation and analysis of what Golden Child wanted to deliver story-wise in this performance. Anyway, let's camp here, don't camp in the reaction version, the full version please!

2:58 nothin I'm just putting a timestamp for myself as I come here everyday to listen to this piece

[@asyrdal4059]

Okay, seriously. Can someone confirm--THIS was the performance they were eliminated after? Why the HECK? EDIT: After scrolling through the comments, it seems some people (not you guys, obviously, but others) thought this stage lacked storytelling. ...how does this lack storytelling? Something I've noticed is some people don't want to put much thought into a performance that they're watching. I suppose that's where Golcha """"went wrong."""" (In quotes because this was brilliant.) I've been working my way through all of the performances from the entire show as I catch up on what I've missed because of Mnet not uploading the eps. By all performances, I mean all of them--every group, every performance. And, consistently, Golcha's routines were the ones that really stuck out to me. Their stages are so elegant. The concepts are beautiful. Their vocals and raps are amazing on top of that. The choreography is near-perfect. These aren't idols, these are artists that genuinely care about music. Look, I didn't really come on this show for a reason. I'm watching it for Pentagon, but I don't consider myself a Universe. I don't stan any of these groups, and watching all of them grow from an outside perspective has been fascinating. From what I can tell, Golcha has a sense of storytelling and intrigue that is weaved into the performance almost subliminally. Once you catch the thread, though--for example, here, the white violin--bang! The whole story is revealed in its wonderous splendor. Maybe it's being a violinist myself, but I keep finding myself drawn back to this stage time and again as I work through the performances on this show. This one was just so effortlessly breathtaking. No, it wasn't over the top. No, it wasn't flashy. And I guess that cost them for this show. But forget Msnake. I really hope Golcha don't change their style of stages, performance, or anything due to this show, because whatever factors were involved in voting them off are irrelevant. This is art. And by the way, Msnake seriously have done them dirty with the camera angles this whole show. These angles are horrible. EDIT 2: Back here after getting caught up in their Burn It comeback and once again I'm here to rant about how good they are at STORYTELLING. They have such a good way of telling stories and showing plot. I was _so_ invested in their MV and, heck, I don't even know half of their names! THAT'S what tells me they're good storytellers, because if you're good at that then you don't NEED someone to know who you are. You just need someone who's willing to watch, willing to listen. Proud of you, Golcha. EDIT 3: Back here yet again as I'm finally watching the series. Their departure from the show still breaks my heart--they really could've (and, in my opinion, should've) gone all the way.

I hope everyone read this. Hong Joochan is an epitome of perfection with golden heart. He has wide knowledge in music more than you know, he knows well classical music as he was in an orchestra for 3 years and playing violin for 9 years, besides being a classical violinist he also specializing in piano jazz, he also has knowledge in indie music since he is a vocalist of a band too. Now his profession is as a Kpop idol. Despite having wide knowledge he is really a humble person, he never talk bad or downgrade someone who doesn't have much knowledge in music, instead he teaches them and learning together without sounding like he is more inferior or something. He works harder than everyone else but never once complaining. When goldenness send him simple support message, he will reply us one by one with a really long message despite his busy schedule, when we are sad he will sing for us so we aren't sad anymore. We goldenness treasure him so much. So, for non fans please choose your words wisely before trying to criticize him, believe me he knows better than you about music technically.

the way this got me so mad when they didn’t pass, do you not see the talent in this

[@user-xo7kd4lq8w]

In case you don't know : I saw the comment saying that they lack storytelling, so I'm writing this down.. First, they arranged a white violin on the main stage, the frames on top of that and a few normal violins. The duplicate white violin was shot and you see in the way they deck the ending, they are significantly symbolic. At the dance intro, they end by jumping and reaching up. If you watch from the front, I think it was intended to look like as if the tip of the hand is reaching for the white violin. Next, the vocal starts and at this time, the white violin is in Joochan's hand. Then at 1:18, the orchestra version begins for real. Starting from 1:36, the beginning part of Niccolo Paganini's Caprice No. 24 is mixed in. FYI, this is a piece that is famous for being difficult to play. And Paganini was a genius, his musical talent is even described as 'selling his soul to the devil', but he was crazy about music, practicing for more than 10 hours every day and he was said to be always eager to climb to a higher stage of musicality. Now back to the stage again, Joochan starts playing Paganini's piece. At the end, they were shot from above so we almost couldn't see it, but around 4:19, Joochan's hand is reaching for the white violin, in the same manner as the intro. If you take into account them choosing Paganini to play on a violin and reaching for the white violin at the start and at the end, the white violin symbolizes 'the perfect musicality' as well as 'a high stage of musicality'. Substitute this to the preceding situations. Joochan holding the white violin in the beginning is him in the eyes of the public being seen as a musician with near perfect musical talent and skills. In the scene where Joochan is absorbed in playing Paganini's piece, the violin in his hand is a normal violin, indicating that he feels that his musicality is not perfect. He feels that his musicality is lacking even though it is enough, and he expresses his thirst for a perfect music with the movement of reaching towards the white violin. It's too long so I couldn't write everything, but if you focus on the lyrics too, everything lined up perfectly that I got goosebumps. Therefore, in conclusion, their storytelling was not lacking. It was metaphorical and embedded very well into the stage. The story was enough !

[@hanimhouri]

and I have to add: during Joochan's solo violin performance, we can see how the other members were seen dancing around him, with many repeated 'worshipping' dance steps, where they kneel, lie on stomach, basically look like as if they're bowing to him. this scene alone can be interpreted and related to the myth of Paganini league and deal with the Devils. Like there's myth that Paganini (who's personified by Joochan) even refused the priest away instead he keeps playing his violin till his last breath, because he can't get enough and out of greed to upskill himself as that perfect violinist people picture him to be. While another theory (if we relate to the myth), they say the audience who see him performing -- either they were terrified to see souls/devils guiding Paganini's bow, playing the violin with him -- or see the spirits dancing to the beat around his stage, some even see phantoms simply being there in spirit. There's also saying how the audience themselves become too absorbed with his skills that they can't help but to be 'sucked' into the performance and become crazy over his violin sounds. Some of them need exorcism too. Thus the ' madness' shown by the rapid dance steps and how the beat picked up faster and faster after that. and try to look at those final few seconds before Joochan stop playing the violin. His face was in pain, maybe to embody Paganini's infamous 'he'll play the violin madly -- rolling his eyes until only the whites shown' or his frustration for still feeling inadequate despite how good people has been telling him. And look how his ambition has him sacrificed his own soul and physically, but still he can't reach / achieve the peak of perfection, as symbolised through the hung white violin. They keep their theme and colour from the very first of their appearance in this competition.This is like a reference to their first introduction performance too. They offering their existence to sacrifice their being, just to reach for the crown -- the recognition. I guess, this ongoing war with themselves is continued in T.O.P too, in which they managed (albeit temporarily) defeat the dark side of themselves while paving their own way and build a kingdom where they can have their own people inside. But in the end, with those 'people' around them now, they are addressing those desires to be the very best, wanting to keep that respectable image so they can fit the narrative of best artist, but instead of competing with others, they are greedily trying to defeat themselves to be the best version of themselves, the person, the artist they can potentially be. there's a lot of interesting theories out there as shared on twitter by intelligent goldenness and multis so people, please appreciate the story that Golden Child is trying to tell. The secrets are there for us to decode, and they felt much much more amazing once you try to get under the surface.

[@casterrr3401]

Hi, a new Goldenness here. Like literally. I still don't know the members. Not gonna lie, I instantly fell in love with the song's tune when I first heard it and that's saying a lot (I kinda have my preferences when it comes to music lol). I listened to the original and I thought, "Damn, even without lyrics, the 'I wanna be, wannabe you' still hits differently" and that the song was a masterpiece by itself alone. BOY WAS I WRONG. When I heard "Nal nuntteuge hae, Nal chumchuge hae" with the violin sounds, it was satisfying (in a weird way???). I mean, the way that the violin creates a distinct sound from the instrumental, yet still manages to go well with it, is L e g e n d a r y. It hits a fine line between "Too Little" and "Too Much". I hate that they got eliminated because of the shady decision made by M(snake)net (although I am not saying that the other groups deserve to get eliminated...trust me. I am a To Moon also). The ending chorus with the muffled instrumental slowly coming back was phenomenal. The story added depth too. It paid homage to actual events! Also the White Violin among the Brown Violins is aesthetically pleasing.
