Why did KG said in the teaser that she learned playing guitar in just 30 mins when she’s been playing that since little? Hmm maybe its the song she’s talking about, playing the song by guitar…

[@luvvyliz]

for anyone confused, the reason why most people are singing or dancing to the same songs is because they only had a select few choices for songs. They couldn't just choose any song they wanted.

I am glad that they only show participants who earned the pendant. This makes this show more respecful, not like common western talent shows who shows ugly performances for the sake of entertainment, But might be an unforgetful imbaressment to the participants. JYP also gave specific and constructive feedbacks - that can be a great advice for anyone who receive it despite they earn the pendant or not. Good luck A2K Project! Respect JYP.

In order to succesfully learn a choreography you also need to gain muscle memory, learning it in 2-4 hours will only help your brain remember the movements VAGUELY , you're not going to get all the details right, so yea it's pretty impressing how she got to learn the dance so easily...

@@Wendy-bv8uo ok I can tell you never danced or have never joined any dance club or workshop. People who regularly dance (like she said) can not only learn moves in a day but also add their own personality to the moves and also the style doesn’t have to be exact copy of the original song. And it’s also not that you have to dance the whole song. One could mix the song to include only important choreography and repeat it.

He had the same reaction with her as he did with Mina on Sixteen! Trying to figure out if her quiet and shyness is because she's quiet or because she's being polite. As a Latina I can tell you how much being quiet and respectful is pushed in our culture to the point a young girl can become very nervous around older people! I'm so glad she was able to use her dance to show off her confidence and show JYP she has more than a shy attitude.

KG Crown has such a special voice (and I agree with JYP she can remove all of those "twangs" from her singing) and seems like such a sweet, down to earth girl. I'm really rooting for her!!!

[@ateddybear1392]

I actually like the “twangs” but I grew up on country so lol. But yea, idk if they’d work for the style of music he’d have for this group.

@@ateddybear1392 I like them too in certain music styles (such as country, I suppose) but yeah I think it doesn't work for k-pop music in general. Her voice has a very sweet sound though that would be good

“…that’s just raw talent.” ~ I really like hearing JY Park’s thoughts and comments. It’s great to see talent through a master-expert’s eyes. This shows is engaging on so many levels. Plus seeing raw talent as it’s being discovered. I am so looking forward to see them as their talent blossoms.

So much talents on this episode.

KG Crown very impressive, and great song choice to audition for A2K! She has potential in the kpop girl group. She got a look but she can bloody sing and don't worry about the dance part she will learn. Mischa was pretty good and i love when jyp said The reason why I'm giving you this advice, i think u are amazing! Gina has the advantage because she is a jyp trainee and knows what to do in an audition so make sense but i can definitely see her in a kpop girl group since she got the experience and needed someone with experience in jyp (also she met itzy, that's why her dance was so good)

[@imtheonehero9305]

Noon. shes better off as a solo artist.

KG Crown look like she will do terrible in dancing and to me, her voice is just ok. She do not fit in the group.

She is but it'll be a tough challenge for her. She needs to change her vocal voice which is not easy to do and she maybe more suited as a solo not a band.

Yuna and mischa are opposites and complete stars. Within seconds i could tell that they were going to be a star. When JYO called of Mischa shirt inknew it was because he already heard what he needed. Yuna had that energy while performing and as someone who knows nothing about oerforming i could tell there were parts where she could have technically done better, but the performance was just 100% and she did that in a day. Holy. I was nervous sfter last episode, but now this lineup is stacked

[@wndering]

That last girl Gina was SO GOOD??? I feel like she did kinda have a boost from the others since she literally trained at JYP but now I’m wondering how she didn’t get further before? Like she got the choreography down so perfectly and sings good for only being 13. That’s impressive

[@wndering]

Though now I’m thinking about it she probably was too young to get anywhere further (similarly to the other girl that’s 12 but is smart for her age). But I hope they get better luck with this show!

[@virgantaraaa]

It's really hard to debut in KPop group. Idk if she quit JYPE or not but Mako from NiziU still on JYP when she auditioned for NiziU. For me JYP is the best choice if you want to debut as a KPop artist since they always debuting group every 3-4 years comparing to SM and YG.
