[V.LIVE+ Review] EXOMENTARY SPORTS - Bowling Competition

Hello everyone! I just posted a reivew for the behind cam of Bon Voyage but I'm back to review an episode of EXOMENTARY, which I haven't talked about in quite a while.

The great thing about EXOMENTARY is that it's a series of live broadcasts, which I think is the best charm of V App. While they have a general outline of a script to follow, everything is completely live so there's a lot of spontaneous hilarity that happens, especially with a group like EXO who are naturally funny together. 

So in this episode they have a bowling competition. Normally I find bowling pretty boring so I'll admit I wasn't really looking forward to watching it, but they changed things up a little and made it really fun.

First off, they had to split into two teams by choosing from cups that either had coffee or fish sauce in them. Those who got coffee were the Lucky One team (ha), those who got fish sauce were the Monster team (because they make faces like monsters when they drink the fish sauce lol). There was one member who only received ice, and he was the radish, or the neutral player. Either team was allowed to use him once per frame, but he could choose how well he wanted to play so he could completely ruin their game if he wanted to.

Baekhyun was the MC for this competition, and he did a spectacular job. He gave all the members hilarious nicknames while they were bowling, and he kept the show progressing at a great pace. 

They also had "super powers" that they were allowed to use during the game, which were like cheats they could use to hopefully get a better score. For example, Kyungsoo chose his power and was able to roll two balls at once. He ended up using the radish to throw one ball while he threw one, haha. There was also the water power, where they were able to make the other team wear goggles and a tube while bowling. 

Overall it was a really entertaining bowling competition! I've really enjoyed the entire EXOMENTARY series, from the individual member broadcasts to the group episodes like this. 

The only downside to the live broadcasts is that you then have to wait a while for them to be reuploaded. A lot of people think this is because of SM or Naver but it's actually because the content has to be rated. This is paid broadcasting so they have to follow the rules and get all the live content rated before it can be officially uploaded for replay on demand, and sometimes this can take weeks because the agency that rates it will take a long time to do so.

[V.LIVE+ REVIEW] Behind Cam EP4 (Bon Voyage)

Hello everyone! I'll be giving a quick review this week on the behind cam for episode 4, which is a gift VOD that you can receive when you purchase the package.

I actually love the behind cams almost more than the show itself, because it reminds me so much of the random Bangtan Bombs that are posted on their YouTube. You really get to see the unedited side of the boys- the silly mistakes they make, and their random adventures that didn't make the cut.

The episode 4 behind cam starts with Namjoon explaining that they're waiting in the airport, but Yoongi left to look at the Duty Free shop and ended up not being able to get back in so he had to go all the way back through security. (Yoongi played it off saying he went to go get some fresh air)

You get to see some more of Taehyung all by his lonesome, and random clips from the members' public transit adventures. There's a compilation of Jin doing some random dancing and telling some of his old man jokes, which are my personal favorites. 

There's some behind footage from Taehyung's misadventure as well. He brags about bringing food that they can eat even though they're lost, but it's just gum haha. (Oh Taehyung...)

As Jimin and Jin walk to find their hotel (instead of riding the bus like they could have) they decide to play a game to carry each others bags, a game that includes seeing if the number of gummies in Jin's pocket are odd or even...

You can see all this and more in the Episode 4 behind cam >3<
