A2K ep.17 "Individual Performances Continue"

[@iamnotfairy]

its really nice to see all the girls genuinely love and help eachother. you rarely get to see a genuine side of people on surivival shows like this

[@Panorama-memory]

It's JYP's basic philosophy. Compete with yourself. Improving your skills is about elevating yourself, not putting others down. This is the characteristic of JYP singers... On average, they have no weaknesses, although there may be some disappointing aspects in all areas. Does they seem like an all-rounder?

[@momo8563]

Comes from the fact theyre not competing with each other for a spot

[@dylanzchen]

I feel for gina, the pressure of being a JYP trainee is evident in the performance. Shes probably the most polished, but shes so caught up in being perfect that shes forgotten the other 50% of being an idol is to be able to captivate the audience.

[@MakuDonarudo.]

그녀는 "난 연습생 출신이야 1등해야해"라는 압박감이 있는것 같다

[@nabi5864]

it’s also because of her young age too … even though Kaylee about same age, Kaylee just has that stage presence , as well as Kendall …. I think give her more time she’ll get it .. but hopefully within 3 months , but that’s asking alot unfortunately

What is amazing about this show is because they don't rely on fans vote they can record this over a long period of time and have them actually train in between. It is so fun to see their growth since their first audition until now. This is actually such a good pre-debut show cuz I can feel that they are getting more and more ready for a debut. plus, the producer doesn't treat them like competitors so they can be closer to each other and genuinely support each other like they are already a team.

Agree. Fans vote always bring some dissatisfaction from fans, distrust toward the company and harsh judgements to the trainee. With direct judgement from the producer & trainer, at least fans have one common enemy if their favorite trainees couldn't debut, and don't blame anyone else.

KG saying that she hasn't made friends like that before was a little sad. I'm glad she has close friends now!

[@pukes6273]

26:28 After watching and rewatching Gina's performance here, I think I finally understand what JYP meant. Gina was suppose to demonstrate a girl in love as well as a girl in anger. This should be done during the "so I love you" and then transition into a more angry style during the "so I hate you". Because think about it, it's a song about a girl who fell in love but went through heart break. However, she stayed the same throughout the whole song which didn't captivate the audiance. She needed to become the girl in the song, not just a girl dancing and singing the song. So in the end, as far as the viewers are concerned, the show was not convincing.

[@yutasnonexistentlines4904]

EXACTLY glad at least someone understands this because I knew people were gonna take it the wrong way and not get him but he's right, I can literally envision how differently others would perform it and Gina is too one note the whole performance and like for instance smiling too much and not really bringing out the anguish and the sadness and pain/anger as well. It's not that she doesn't have emotions it's that they don't fit the song properly

[@PeaceLoveFairytales]

Gina has reservations about showing her emotions, and that's something many of us can relate to. It's not easy to open up and be vulnerable, especially if you've been conditioned to believe that it's a sign of weakness. Breaking her foot as a kid and not crying shows that she's been putting in a tremendous amount of effort into concealing her emotions. Expressing emotions isn't a weakness but a form of courage. It takes strength to show your true self, and I believe she can overcome this with support and self-love.

[@johnnysphatass]

Fr I kind of worry about her upbringing. I don't think that's normal, or healthy.

[@inquisitvem6723]

[@aleenaalaayaaleena4971]

[@bdh711]

She’s too young

[@Thesilentvoice...]

Also she was a trainee, being one really does take away the emotion of a person because you are judged on your technique/skill above all else. She still in that mindset so I thought JYP would be more understanding that Gina is young and has molded into having that mindset because of being a trainee. He should actively do more to help her lose this mindset as it's not easy to unlearn what you've been trained to learn over 1 year or so. I'm sure before being a trainee she may have not had this mindset.

I used to be a little sceptical about KG at first because I just saw her as a solo artist instead of a possible K-pop girl group member, but after this video I just NEED her to be in this group. After her little vlog segment I was so touched when she cried. Not only is she grateful about the chance she’s been given, but she’s also grateful for having made friends she can share this journey with. A lot of people think she would be amazing as a solo singer and solely based in America, which could be debatable. She definitely needs to improve her dancing and Korean skills, but I truly feel that she needs this group just as much as this group needs her. I truly hope she debuts with this group of girls. They’re all so talented and compliment each other so well.

I feel like Gina genuinely did show her emotions this time, you could see she was having fun. I rewound her performance so many times and she had intense, happy, and free expressions all throughout it. I did notice that when the camera was further away, with the lighting and just her natural appearance, it was harder to see all of her expression. I also feel like when people see a lot of skill, they automatically overlook emotion because they assume there can't be any when the rest is perfect. You can really tell she opened up. It's unfortunate JYP couldn't see it.

[@kimogdoc1204]

Look at Wonder girls and tell what emotions they deliver that Gina didn't. JYP requires from Gina spontaneous expressions, spontaneous movements. How could she do that in a group choreography.

It appears to me that Gina is highly talented and skilled. To the point where her singing and dancing has been trained to be just good enough. Like her talent level is at the level where her performance will never be bad, but JYP seems to know this ever since the beginning. It seems like he wants her to utilize raw emotions and passion beyond her skills. But what I see is a girl who works BEST within a group setting. Watch her showcase performance with the team. She excelled and shined in skill, emotion, and star power.

[@vanthadoun1]

I agree with everything you said. She shines most in a group setting. Gina plays a role in a group, and its not Leader or Center. She can be main or lead vocalist but her stage presence is lacking and her raw emotions is non-existent. i believe she is like the Jisoo of the group. No one seems to pay attention to her, but when she is gone, you can sense that something is missing. It isn't until she is gone that you appreciate her. She plays a supporting role to the group.

She also trained at a very young age so i guess thats why she looks stiff on stage, but with upcoming project n stage performing in the future, she will be unbeatable, girl also can sing
