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.

[@ester_b]

Yess!!

[@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.

Yes I was so impressed!! Especially since it only took a month to learn and perfect the dance. It took me a few months to learn it and perfect it.

[@faithoverfear9694]

Since I have watched Lexus' choreo over and over I was blown away how she incorporated every single beat of the music and flow of lyrics into this routine doing all of it at the same time using the upper and lower parts of her body. I mean she hit every beat and flow of lyrics. There wasn't any pause. This is art.

[@Alyssa514]

[@anna-fi3yy]

imo she's got the potential but she lacks the star power that some of the other contestants have. they have strong presence and facial expressions and lexus is still a bit too shy and reserved. I pretty much agree with what JYP said in the first episode about her needing to unleash herself. if she did she could be great and not just good. but maybe she'll get there throughout the course of the show.

I said this in my other comment but i just can’t stand hearing complements about this old bean head so I’ll say it again every jyp insider said that the training system is so harsh and they make them compete against eachother like they’re enemies and then debut them in the same group and forces them to get along with each other this is just for show stop buying this cheap strategies

[@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.

[@Mukkxoxo]

@@MadBomber0930 but it STILL does help them to boost their confident bcz ofcourse some of them would be shock or think that they are left behind when thay saw the others strength. No need to fight against each other. Just help each other to improve can make ease everything. JYP is not born yesterday :)

[@Mukkxoxo]

@@MadBomber0930 And I think you still do not understand what I WANT TO SAY HERE, and WHAT JYP PURPOSE TO SAY THAT for the trainee. RE-READ MY COMMENT FOR THE OTHER SH*T REPLY 10 TIMES and u will get it. btw why do people so care about whether they are competing or not?? pft sooo netizen thing- waste time lah brooo. 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. I SAID WHAT I SAID. 1k like proooooove anyhting.

I love that there isn’t a set number of members. It makes it easier for the girls to bond as well as easing some of the stress. Rather than trying to outdo the others, they can help each other feel more comfortable and even help each other perform better. It also takes away the fear of “all of them are better than me I have no shot” because they all do have a good chance. There is no competing and I love that.

[@agm631]

Dude as a 1st gen stan it's making me so glad to see more comments like this. I know that newer kpop fans aren't necessarily happy with the musical direction, or the schedules of JYP artists but JYP first and foremost has always been an artist and performer himself. 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.

i mean all the girls shocked me from their immense improvement in dancing and stage presence but OH MY GOD did lexus give me goosebumps and make my jaw drop everytime! she definitely KILLED that! i'm rooting for her now!

[@natlenah8082]

I love how JYP put CHARACTERS as one of the criteria.. ❤

[@bunnysweets4636]

He just doesn't want any controversies

[@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.

[@natlenah8082]

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

[@michaellim4165]

Character should be the foundation for everything else.

[@farashayounita9210]

​@@bunnysweets4636that's kinda showing how pessimistic you are tho 😂

[@ShirleyYang131]

I have watched Lexi's performance over 10 times now!! So proud of her!! I know she'll make it far in this competition!

[@camiii_.kpoper]

Lexus baila increíble casi lloraba con tanto talento de esta chica , todas las chicas son muy talentosas buena suerte para todas

[@WWLD001]

Savanna, Camila, Lexus, you three were all on fire! What a great performance, what a great dedication you did for the boot camp!

[@marielafernandez8336]

Savana lo hiso increíble

[@hyunhhhs]

to be honest, lexus did so good! i got goosebumps from her performance, she really gave off skz vibes!! as a stay, im really shocked by how amazing she is!! i loved how she controled her movements, its really crazy how talented she is.

[@dianey9225]

SCREAM!!!! LEXUS!!!! OMG...GIRL GIRL... 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@nightcloud19ful]

기억에 가장 남는 춤은 사바나 춤이다. 너무 잘어울리고 잘표현했다.

[@CindyJK]

Oh my goodness these three girls did so great!! Extra hats off to Lexi and Savanna just wow! I love how JYP is giving constructive and positive feedback and esp when he sees the talent area he compliments them. And his word of advices are so good. That they can all work together and win together. They are all such sweet and talented young girls. I hope they all make it together

MY JAW DROPPED WHEN LEXUS STARTED HER PERFORMANCE LIKE OMGGG?? 🔥🔥🔥

[@fireaj_]

They all did well. BUT OMG LEXUS SLAYED THAT. She ate and left ZERO CRUMBS. She definitely took a risk with doing such a difficult song to dance to and she absolutely KILLED it. Absolutely rooting for her

[@chaeunwoo_]

Yes.....

@@dyoverdx so? Regardless, what we DID see, she absolutely killed it lmao

[@tsuyuasui7297]

​@@dyoverdxwhat in the delusion is going on

[@ITDomination]

​@dyoverdx what's 10-15sec gotta do with it? We've seen more than that few second cut secne which overall is most of the dance and its still amazing. That's 10-15 seconds cut sence isnt going to make any difference. Really...

[@imfineyo4359]

All the girls got the visual! So far Savanna, Camilla & Lexus dance were maddd good! JYP gonna get a great new girl group!

Savanna was sooo good ❤

They will debut under JYP? I thought this girl group only train under JYP and debut under USA ent agency.

uh? Savanna was so sloppy.

[@zamieboo8882]

Omg😭😭😭😭 I had absolute chills on Lexus performance! She killed it!!!❤❤❤

[@kPoP_MiNiOnS]

Honestly Lexus/ Lexi was speechless and ATE that. She was also brave for doing a male idols dance especially straykids bc male dance are very hard and can not be done easily. GOOD JOB LEXI❤❤❤❤❤

[@esme-uz7lf]

YESSSS LEXUSSSSS WHAT A POWERFUL PERFORMANCE ofc as a Stay I was extra excited to see her dance, but MAN, she rocked it. Like JYP explained, she pulled the hip-hop energy off so well and left us all stunned ❣️

[@Lee_was_here]

Sheesh, Lexi popped off! I legit got chills and goosebumps from the first dance movement! I am excited to see more of Lexi. I like how she doesn't just want to copy but add her little spice and self into it. I think that's what many people are missing; they forget to incorporate themselves into their work. So far, so good!

[@knck_]

Right?! I was smiling throughout her whole performance.

[@Kat-nc8rf]

i was shooook like damn gurl go get it. this was song was such a good choice cuz it showed how she was able to improve and loosen up cuz her movements were a little stiff at regional

[@VAXi562]

Lexus Vang, one word, AMAZING! ♥️

[@eliimbr]

Savanna.. oh my god that was incredible!

[@pauline5715]

The fact that LEXUS is the first one who tried a boy group dance song- she definitely killed it!

[@kemiasunramu9505]

Savannna was so amazing, her raw talent and being able to make the dance look so easy just made me smile so much.

[@julin5625]

Lexus é minha queridinha, essa garota arrasa em tudo que se propõe a fazer. Icônica 💗🤩

[@as1948]

Lexi’s God Menu is definitely the most memorable performance of this show. I loved that she tried something different and she nailed it

[@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!!!!!!

[@mangoo5016]

Lexus’ performance was INSANE I want to watch it over and over again

[@serenecitylights]

Not me shaking in my seat on the verge of tears from Lexus's powerful performance! 😭💓 so proud of my Hmong girl!

[@carmenpolimc]

I really loved when JYP told them that there isn’t a fixed number of winners. I’m sure that relieved the girls A LOT, as he said, they don’t need to compete witch each other, the can help themselves and enjoy their time at the camp ! I found it very healthy

[@iheworld134]

Thats just show that asian kids's mental r stronger coz our society r much scarier n we havin a lot of pressures on daily basis, especially korean n japanese kids

[@Bananacake07]

Camila really worked harder and listened to what JYP said ! She got confidence in her dancing skills this time, I love her so much she's my favourite. Obviously Lexus and Savanna were extremely impressive like at the auditions.

[@khouyang1205]

I got goosebumps watching Lexus dance. Wow! I'm so impressed with these girls and their skills.

[@Jbug87]

all of them are KILLING it ! and Lexus, great choice to show another side of you

[@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.

[@esme-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

[@brianoh7823]

Watching A2K for the 2nd time I now understand why Lexus made #1 Member. This performance sealed her spot in her dance abilities. Her humility towards the staff and members exudes her true character . JYP knows what he is doing. He may have broken Lexus down during the competition but i feel he did it to bring out the fighting side of Lexus. Lexus now is the confident, doesn't care if people see me sleepy or chomping a snack in whole kinda vibe.

[@golden98097]

here after 5 months just rewatching lexis part over and over. she is beyond amazing. savanna also did superb! and camilas improvement is wow!!! you guys are born superstars. im so happy to have found you

[@djjaewon]

Lexus is so fierce. Not just her dancing but her facial expressions too. She’s awesome!

[@sharkl11]

I've never seen JYP give so much praise and was so excited from the great performances in a competition. Can't wait to see.

[@calripplebear1293]

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. No matter if they respected your company before. If you humiliate them they may reject not just your company, but then post all over social media what a @#@% you are. XD

Savanna ATE that oh my god!!!! She was such a great opener tbh, especially for the performance the next two put on 😭 the 3 stars of their group, even shining at the boot camp. This is awesome to rewatch. They all did awesome, but Lexi has been praised a lot in the comments so I’m here to give Camila and Sav’s some love
