#kbc2025

he also had his camera off the whole time, so i couldn't read his lips or expression or gestures, and those are all things that I rely on a lot, normally, to help me make up for what I can't understand straight away just by listening alone. Obviously, you also cant play a live broadcast back, and i don't have the phone storage space to record 🥲 so. alas

...but anyway, i DID catch a few juicy items, including a little bit of beatbox tea 👀

kbc came up and gbb did as well, he said he's practicing hard for gbb and extremely busy because of it

someone asked about what wing said on mbc, and steady was pretty gracious about it considering they kinda made him out to be the villain on that program 😅 he said he gets why they framed it like that considering it was for tv, and he said "i mean, its not like they said anything that wasn't true." I will say, though, he also made it sound like wing didn't exactly talk to steady about it ahead of time, either...😓 (but don't quote me (and definitely don't quote steady) on that, it's just my subjective reading of what it seemed (to me!) like he was implying.)

dharni also popped in the chat to say hi (or rather, "Yo!")

also, steady mentioned that the new repertoire he used at kbc against poem was actually material he specifically came up with to use against huckle, but got matched against poem from the very first bracket and had to change all his plans 👀👀

they teased the trashtalk from the steady v poem match and everything 😂😂 fully bleeped out of course, like "***** **** *********!!" i cracked up

he looked very nice 😔 i'll put pics up later

he was very serious all night but clearly also having the time of his life at the same time, and said as much, it was VERY cute

during the battles, he got super excited several times during several highlights including but not limited to 1) owngyu v huckle (owngyu was my mvp of the night tbh) and 2) steady v poem (steady fought like HELL that round and the trash talk was mighty-level, legendary) and also 3) cardio v jack (classic matchup, just impossible not to enjoy)

at one point wing said, i just want you all to know, as much fun as i'm sure all of you are having, you should know i'm sitting up here as a fan of beatboxing for-- how many years has it been? sixteen? as a fan of beatboxing for sixteen years however much you are enjoying this right now, i have been following everyone here over the years and there is no bigger fan in this room than me.

when it came time for the showcase wing said among other things:

i usually dont go around with a humidifier all the time in summer because the weather usually isnt all that dry and it isnt a problem, but last week in ulsan i realized actually since in summer you have the ac running constantly, it's actually *extremely* dry and bc of that my vibration bass is not in good condition today. so, i'm not going to do dopamine this time, because it features vibration bass

(cue disappointment from the crowd)

wing: okay, listen, cmon now. i doubt there is anyone in this room who hasnt already heard me do dopamine at least once. seriously. raise your hand if youve never heard dopamine. (*a small but sus number of hands go up*) wing: 🤨

(he did do snippets of dopamine right at the beginning, and at the very end of his showcase set, he worked in the dnb remix to finish off)

he also did murder she wrote into adderall just like at uplounge, and he sounded amazing literally what was i talking about. no he did not 🤨

wing performed at least 2 whole entire brand new, never-before-seen routines, they were both incredible. i literally cannot believe how much new material we've heard from wing lately when gbb is just around the corner

from his vantage point backstage, cardio recorded a snippet of wing's showcase and posted to his story with the caption "wing is my girlfriend" (in english) (he was killing it, it was hot, cant say i disagree 🤷)

cardio later posted a recap photodump on ig proper. wing commented "i'm not your girlfriend." cardio commented back "fake" (SCREAM)

during the winner's ceremony when jack won, wing hugged him when he handed over the winner's plaque and it was the cutest shit i've ever seen he looked exactly like a proud father lmao

then he left Jack to celebrate with his other bros, and spent a long minute congratulating huckle on his 2nd place win. idk what he said exactly since it was off mic but it was clearly super sincere and sweet, based on how huckle reacted. he honestly looked kinda misty eyed imo. no way to know for sure of course but wing was definitely speaking very seriously into huckle's ear for longer than it takes to say a simple "good job" and it was very sweet

but MBC was apparently there on stage to film kbc this year!!! that's CRAZY and also so extremely super cool 🥹

in honor of his win everybody should go stream paradise nowww!!!!
