as we saw at the end of last ep too, cristina is such a leader, always comforting the other girls all the time (when she hugged kaylee at the end of her performance, always seen praising the other girls during their performances) she def deserves the character gem.

She gives off leader vibes and it would be cool if she was the leader of their group like how jihyo is with twice. 😊

She is good at speaking but when she said thinking back to herself as a baby and JYP giggled the same time as me. I’m sure we were both thinking she’s still a baby. She’s so cute and young.

Kaylee, if you won't debut as one of the members of the A2K group, please don't stop chasing your dream. You have so much potential at such a young age! I hope JYPE trains you to be the best version of yourself.

[@aniMeaganstream]

KG and Melissa are definite main vocal material. I'm sad Kaylee seemed so nervous, i hope she's able to stress less on her vocals being perfect so she can focus more on stage presence and keeping the beat. and poor Kendall, her voice sounded pretty rough, but I'm glad JYP was able to hear through it and see her skill and potential. Looking forward to the next episode!

KG es muy genial me llamo mas la atencion ella para ser sincera y creo que si debuto porq vi un video de ella en alguna parte dentro de jyp se supone que si hubiera quedado afuera no estaria hay ,esta ensayando en baile es claro porq en voz es wo talentosa al igual en baile

i just feel so bad for kaylee, she's so young and she still has a lot more ahead of her. she can't have that much practice when she's that young either. i really hope kaylee debuts and when she does i'll support her 100%. love you kaylee

[@ImCACT]

Kaylee, it's disheartening to see you being such a perfectionist at such a young age. Your Korean background might contribute to this trait. Remember, it's crucial to be kinder to yourself, embrace your normal failures, and use them as motivation to keep learning and moving forward. Making mistakes is okay, it's normal not to always perform perfectly, and learning from those mistakes is a natural part of growth. The Kpop and idol world can be harsh, so try to be gentler with yourself. I'm cheering for your debut, but I also hope you have the mental strength to navigate through this challenging phase. Fighting!!

[@chickenhate_r]

Ofc she wasn't perfect for just this once. But everyone knows how good she actually is so she'll be fine

[@gidletv]

I think it’s so cute how caring the others are of Kaylee because she’s so young especially Christina. She would be such a good leader.

[@mAsHuMaRoPanda]

OH... MY..... WORD!!!!!!! I honestly didn't expect that from Melissa 😮. I loved how confident she was throughout the whole performance, yes perfomance because she did not just sing. She gave a full on performance. What I was most surprised about is not how good she is, but when, where, and how she sang melodical changes. I mean she didn't even have to over do it with her runs and vibrato, and yet it was impactful enough and really sounded like her own. The choices she made throughout the song was very tastefully done, and that can only be done if you are confident enough. I like that JYP pointed out how she didn't change or do anything in the parts where mostly covers artists do the most, but instead she went for the unexpected. I'm also amazed of how she delivered the song emotionally. I mean at her age, to be able to deliver a mature emotion is not easy. Sooo good job Melissa. Keep it up!!! To all the girls, FIGHTING!!!! I sincerely hope that they can all make it. They all work so hard. ❤
