J.Y. Park: You don't have to compete with each other. You can help each other. That line is so interesting. Not having a set number of final members will put the contestants at ease. That way they can perform their best with less pressure and distractions. JYP knows how to pull out the greatness in people.

[@kimlunery3234]

Right!?! like even me I was shock when he said that, since most kpop survival show put so much pressure to there contestants, thus making them compete with everyone, in a very fierce manner, which for me will just make them look like soloist trying to be under a group. J.Y.park for this part hinting no official line up and instead of competition want the girls to help each other, is a different kind of level for a survival show especially kpop, I didn't expect him to say that props for J.Y.Park.

[@Mukkxoxo]

@@Someone-ho9rb woaah i really dont understand why are u so offended by my comment and what that JYP said. Of course they ARE "COMPETING" with each other. Bruh every competition and audition needs to compete each other BUTTTT the thing that I want to point out right now is, I love the way he make them less nervous bro. Just that. When he said everyone need to help each other and not compete its mean that he want everyone to compete in a healthy way bcz jyp really loves their artist to have a good attitude. Also it will help them to learn on how to work in group without being selfish to shine and stuff. Thats all. Also Its normal for trainee to get hard training and stuff bcz its just for a "week". Are you new in kpop? Why so sensitive pft.

And this ep is not an audition session at all bruh. It's an individual evaluation. The TITLE it self said it is BOOTCAMPPPP. In this BOOTCAMP they will have a team evaluation!?? it makes sense to do it together. Even if they are doing it individual still they can compete in a healthy way?? cant you understnddd? BTW BRUH IF U PUT URSELF LIKE U ARE A CONTESTANT U WILL UNDERSTAND WHY JYP SAID THAT. It TO make them free from nervousness and make them proud/ believe in themselves only. if they become winners or eliminated it's their faith! JYP words cannot change anything it's just for their mental and beliefs Understand? doesn't matter if I'm born after u or not, but some younger people are more mature than fr older.

If you've seen any of his other shows, or even his artist training lectures (they're out there) he GENUINELY cares about the artists improving and growing. It's a different world from the other companies where the people in charge don't have experience performing. He does and it shows.

Lexus killed it omg am still impressed even after finishing the video, it’s like the way she dance,the energy she has ,mind blown. Am rooting for her

[@sesame-uz7lf]

Camila too!!! She did so well, all the girls looked so proud of her also, and the fact she was comfortable enough to confide in them before in the practice clip is so sweet

[@relaxcalmly1742]

Lexus knows how to be authentic. Aside from her amazing choice of performance and talent, i love her gentle personality and humbleness. I also love camila’s performance. She paid attention to her critiques. I remember loving her voice from the regionals too. Savanna definitely showed us she’s better than what we think. She’s a hard and versatile person as well! I hope everyone could just debut together tbh.

[@lilz9603]

LEXI WAS SO PHENOMENAL. she dances like she's been possessed - it takes an insane amount of skill and attention to detail to be able to give the energy required for god's menu while also getting even the angles of every body part correct

[@mafu_ne]

Firstly the way he settled the rules for this is so perfect. I love the system so much And OMG THEY ALL SLAYED SO HARD lexus particularly called my attention cause wtf were those moves girl... literally giving female version of hyunjin with her expressions!! Definitely my bias when the group debuts

[@perseph0ne1608]

Bro I rewatched Lexus’s dance like 3 times and each time my mouth would completely drop. I had high expectations since regionals, but this performance completely DESTROYED my expectations AGAIN. Lexus, you are amazing and continue to work hard!!!!!!

[@HL.Jenne03]

Lexi is such a strong, versatile contestant. I can really see her growing so much.

[@SnowClover]

@@bunnysweets4636 I do believe it's part of it, but not only that, people who have poor character are less likely to work as well in a team or under trainers, can cause issues between members and not give off the positive energy that an idol should have.

@bunnysweets4636 agree, rather than being busy for covering up idols controversies to maintain their image, good preventing solution.

it's a culture thing. You can offend a good, talented American girl by saying the wrong things...then you will certainly lose your chance to be their producer.

3 girls did so well. Savannah Was finally able to showcase her talent, Camilla's dedication was so obvious she ate, and from the first audition, I knew Lexus looked way stronger dancing to something more hip hop, and she clearly devoured. i really hope these 3 girls go far

Camila was so nervous and in the end she ended up doing amazing! She's super cute and I'll be rooting for her. Mi gente latino ❤

[@andreasanderson503]

Yesss

[@MarkDeSade100]

I think we were all waiting for a "Mako moment".

[@krishothasarves94]

Lexus 100000% gave Mako vibes with this. I hope she becomes the group’s ace

[@GodVessel]

Crazy how so many of them took the advice to heart and really worked so hard to improve. You can actually feel the passion and dedication when the person takes constructive criticism and uses it to fuel themselves up to the next level. Very respectful towards the one giving the criticism as well, while also amplifying yourself, and not sacrificing your own "twist." It makes me happy to see so many dedicated and talented people doing what makes them happy, and seeing them improve even.

[@SnowClover]

They did so well! these girls have been given an INSANE opportunity here, because if they work extremely hard to get into the final group it's pretty much guaranteed they will be popular and it will automatically catapult them into success. They really shouldn't take it for granted and I hope they all much effort in as they can, few people get the chance to go into a competition with so few competitors.

[@ren8854]

This is why you really gotta respect JYP. Sure people will say that JYPE is kiddie, family friendly, isn't hip, but he knows that it's attitude before everything else. Making the girls feel at ease with each other with healthy competition instead of unhealthy ones that put the pressure on the kids. God, how many survival shows these days show evil editing with girls tearing each other down and having to feel like ants in front of executives who evaluate your worth. Then you expect those same individuals to get along in one group after they were at each other's throats just a month ago. Say what you want about JYP songs but JYP actually cares. And he knows that good, sincere group chemistry is what their brand sells best. ANYWAY GO LEXUS!!! When she came out and said she was dancing to God's Menu I was on the edge of my seat like yaaaaas you go giiiirl! My bias from the start!

For the longest time a Hmong girl showing that we Hmong people can do it! Especially us girls, we’ve been doubted and seen as nothing but hopeless and weak.

Imagine if Lexus debuts under JYP and Stray Kids members saw her performance here and they invite her to do a special performance with God’s Menu in the future? That would be 🔥🔥🔥.

They at least made it this far among thousands of other contestants so that’s a big win even if they don’t debut together.
