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.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Yeah I figured that’s how it was hon a be although in Korean kpop survivals except they’re automatically given something

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...

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.

KG's vocals are main vocal quality! She has a very unique tone. Mischa has a beautiful and strong voice and she's so pretty! I'm interested to see how both will do in dance. Yuna is such a great dancer it's insane that she learned that choreo so last minute! And I think she's the right age to begin as a trainee. Her visuals are very KPOP as well.

And yea she really has great proportions which helps a lot. she creates very beautiful body lines when dancing. Shes a natural!❤ she’s also sooo pretty. She has a small face, and cute smile and nice side profile too that i feel fits the Korean beauty standard too not that it matters but it does help ❤

[@tali.galaxy]

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. And as we know with Mina, he was right that she had so much talent underneath her quiet outside waiting to burst!

I love KG's singing! She has a beautiful voice! Yuna was pretty good too for someone who learned the choreography in a day. I was hesitant about Gina because of her age...13 is pretty young...but then to hear that she was a JYP trainee at like 12? I think she's the only one under 15 I could justify debuting.

[@petalbobo]

i agree wut jyp said about gina. how her moves flow well and i bet she can improvise too. she is like a kpop star

[@WWLD001]

No matter who will be chosen, GINA has everything A2K is looking for. She looks like one JYP artist with international background and humble and passionate spirit. And personally KG's artistic vocal and YUNA's calm but reliable personality with sense of styling would be wonderful to the A2K girl group. Really looking forward to the next episode.

[@R2debo_]

Lexus killed it. She is definitely a girl we need. Camila really sang so good. Her vocals are just insane Kendell is so talented at such a young age. Her expressions were so good.

Yes! In his first survival shows he was more rude even he still was looking for the same values but maybe because those shows were made eneterely with JYP trainees....if U like this you should watch Nizi Project, it's the predecessor to this!

Because he can't be completely honest anymore or he'll be criticized by sensitive snowflakes. Only saying nice things is not a real evaluation. I still remember how people gave him sh*t in 2015 for telling Jihyo to lose weight. He was totally right, and because of that she developed a good life habit of working out and now she's super fit and toned (just look at the recent fancams).

Next episode is gonna be firee. Gina is too young for me, but she sings and dances so well. It is going to be hard. She already has an idol image, but like JYP that more years of training will make her perfect. Maybe she will have her own group, but at the same time, I am scared the same that happenned to Somi, happens to her. Hope they don't waste her talent.

[@melatirahmiaziza7869]

That's also what I'm thinking. I'm afraid something like Somi and Natty have been through will happen again. So, I prefer, I'll be the one who wait them debut in proper age than eliminate a member who still too young. Just like JYPLoud. Loud already 2 years ago and still didn't debut, bcoz 2 years ago, their maknae still 14 years old. So I prefer to wait, than eliminate the good one just for the reason of their age.

@@SweetBerryy I like Kaylee but I really doubt she will be one of the winners because of her age, JYP has never debuted a girl that young. Since she's Korean, maybe he plans to keep her as a trainee and put her in a Kpop group later.

[@prasithoudomvilay8454]

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)

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.

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.
