The WORST K-Pop Survival Show

[@rmarshall7744]

funny story actually, Starlight Boys is the revived version of a Chinese survival show named Youth With You/Idol Producer. Now, not only did ywy fuck up so spectacularly the 3rd season ended without a final episode and quietly debuted a group once the heat had died down (minus tony, who had consistently ranked first but had a rather nonsensical scandal and left), survival shows were banned in China until 2024. My understanding is they aren't fully permitted yet, and so the decision was made to rebrand as an international survival show. the reason ywy 3 was cancelled? as I recall, it was a food waste scandal involving milk drink lids being used as voting tokens, and people buying the drink and pouring it away in bulk just to collect the lids for their idols. This got survival shows banned in China. The other funny thing about youth with you was it was ALWAYS a blatant rip-off of Produce, because at the time tencent had the rights to the produce franchise. iQiyi made their own version that was very adjacent. Now Produce is done, the new thing is Girls'/Boys' Planet. And so the rebrand is Starlight Boys. It's honestly laughable.

I do not wish harm upon him but I wish he tried what the trainees had to go through in that challenge

The worst thing is that with the amount of difficulties and obstacles he had in his career and with his company, one would assume that he would have enough empathy to be a good mentor to trainees

[@railsz4294]

Fun fact about that comment for the concert. It doesn't make sense because even if there are 30 songs in a concert which there aren't it's 20 to max 25. There are breaks, introductions and VCR's inbetween. Usually a concert is like this: intro VCR, starting positions, Perform recent or main concert hit song, perform maybe 1 or 2 songs more. Introduction who they are, in position, 3 more songs, VCR/break 6 songs VCR and continue this rotation. The breaks are usually atleast 5 to 10 minutes with the slower more balled songs used as interaction with the crowd rather than dancing. Also that dude got a law named to him to protect idols. I feel they're projecting their own trauma towards the trainees which isn't fair. Especially find it perculiar hui who recieved the amount of abuse he has hasn't spoken out about this. Also idk if this is filmed in china or korea or whatever, but if it is in korea there has to be some labour law they're breaking or human rights violation they're doing here. They're asking for a lawsuit here.

even in a concert setting. you dont sing and perform continuously.... most you will ever do is 10 in 1 hour and thats pushing it to the limit with 1 song every 6 mins but even with that you wont be dancing all the way in full choreo.... the guides logic is so flawed and ego centric that outside of their group think.... its getting a lot of hate and push back.

[@sunudori]

The judges as a whole are laughable. They have double standards and contradict themselves. They claim idol material is someone with dedication, but then the one who actually showed dedication to learn dancing for his first performance gets zero stars, meanwhile someone who put no effort and has little skill gets one star purely for his looks. The judges seriously seem to have some inferiority/superiority complex. I really don't think they have any grounds to be making these comments and deciding who gets picked, but they act all high and mighty like they've performed at the Grammys or something. I like the boyz, stayc and pentagon, but who are they to be judging so harshly on this show? They're good, but not superior. The use of idols/actors/ singers as judges is not a good strategy for these survival shows, and I wish survival shows would just stop as a whole or get a better judging system.

[@rhenzernieta2914]

What made this Survival got so many HATE was Lee Seung-Gi comments, remarks as well his obession when it comes to Visuals Trainees not to mention, He Had the Audacity to Make Comments when he himself is NEVER an IDOL as Lee Seung Gi is just a SINGER not AN IDOL

[@joeblack3623]

Lol, Seunggi is a member of the Special Forces Military Team. Those guys climbs mountains for days, carry huge tree logs while walking, and sleep in the snow. He knows what a male human body is capable of while these guys are crying after dancing for just 20-30 minutes. If these pretty boys want to chase a dream, they need to toughen up. There's social workers like soldiers and firefighters same age as them who's done way more exhausting physical training than them. Seunggi is just encouraging them. He knows what physical hardship is like. It's nothing compared just dancing for less than an hour.

[@myas_anatomy]

@@joeblack3623 I don’t mean to be rude but they had to dance to a signal song with only 30 second breaks. Some had to dance up to 19 times which is about an hour. At least the mentor most likely received training before his military training, but they are just trainees. They are two different things and should not be compared. The fact that some of them had inhalers and had to be sent to a hospital mid-show shows that they are not just being petty and spoiled, but they are actually pushing their body past the limit. Not to be rude 🙏🏽

[@joeblack3623]

@@myas_anatomy Lol wrong. Even in the show 'Real Man' which is a military themed variety show starring idols without any training and knowledge, the very first thing they did right away as they enter the premise was do timed limit push ups, pull ups, and running drills. That''s even before their orientation and before they meet their future leader and colleagues. There are no warnings and condioting there, lol. How much more if it's the real military which we are talking about? And do these pretty boys really think that there will be no physical challenges that would push them to the limit in this survival show? I mean really? Do they think it will be just rainbows, butterflies, and girl fans screaming while they do 2-3 dance performances? In any career you choose, there's instances where you need to man up and toughen up. This is a survival competition in which they have to be ready physically and mentally and not cry for mommy when they get tired. This isn't malpractice nor a dumb practice, lol. This is a test of character and will. That one trainee in the episode who said "I can do this all day" showed heart and character. He believed in himself no matter how tired he is. All the other lipgloss wearing contestants should've been inspired by him.

[@NinaSaav89]

The fact that one of the judges said that he EXPECTED Syo to have great dancing skills..that just rubbed me the wrong way..like why? Why should he have great dancing skills? Cause of his African American background??

I can understand the boycotting amd honestly i have been pissed since Syo's situation in ep 1 and confused on boycotting this but positive wise the contestants especially the higher ranked are really talented and they have great personalities and a lot of these trainees have gone on several survival shows like the produce series, and fantasy boys,Bp,peak time and some debuted and their groups are either disbanded or are currently at a risk of doing so and they have really struggled as it did not work well and I know a lot of people have wanted these shows to be cancelled but this is automatically going to result in wated efforts and hardwork a lot of these trainees have put to make it this far and Honestly already some trainees have expressed how this is the last time they want to be going on survival shows again which is a pity therefore i would like to rather see the dirrection of the show in the future ep and hope things get better and besides there are onpy 3 eps as of last Saturday so i am hopeful things would change🤞🤞❤

as someone who watched the produce series, another heavily scripted show, there's still no excuses for the way they treat and talk about the trainees. this show is awful, not even entertaining. i expected better from eunbi and hui and hope this changes. edit: seunggi also shouldn't talk about how idols do a concert when he's never had such a concert himself. idol have personal trainers, they also do concert once they're into their 2nd or 3rd year in the industry. these are trainees, some very young; they lack stamina, they lack the training and preparations. what seunggi said what straight up wrong! he was so much better in pd48...

[@mariagonzalez-lh7yj]

Exactly, I have seen every season of produces, its Chinese, Japanese and Korean versions, and this has to be the worst activity I have ever seen. It is one thing when a trainee reaches those points of exhaustion due to their own demands, it is quite different to push them all beyond their physical and psychological limits in such dangerous way.

[@avsambart]

Seungri expecting untrained trainees to perform 90 minutes straight like "an idol in concert" would do is INSANE - also idols have a break in the middle of their concerts to talk and catch their breath, they do ballads in between hard sets so their bodies can rest, they perform solo stages or duets or trios so half the group can rest while changing outfits for a few minutes, there's 4-5 VTRs per concert which can last 3-5 minutes so they can change and rest - wtf is he talking about?! Also, these trainees haven't built the months and years of prep and stamina for that!

Its amazingly sad how at this point in time at just TWO Episodes in i cant wait to see the movie/show ratings of upcoming dramas/movies on the actors ends or even the Black Oceans and no applauding that is gonna happen from the idols upcoming concerts just cause of these grown adults actions toward these youths just trying to make their way. Like if i had the money to go to a StayC concert, you bet your ass id start a boycott for the crowd NOT to clap and cheer or even to scream "We shouldn't applaud in support cause its childish". Schedules/Concerts/Shows or Training... you applaud people out of respect for the hardwork they do... why would you expect any praise from anyone after treating another human being like that and EVEN WORSE a group of young apprising artists/idols. Double standards are wrong, Harsh and Cruel statements are WRONG!!! Using gaslighting, mental diversion/manipulation or making someone to feel they have done wrong by speaking out IS WRONG!!! That is not teaching them hard work or how to be determined, its straight up cruel and inhumane. They are human beings, not soulless machines that work the way you want at the push of a button JUST cause you say to. I get wanting to test their metal and what they can do, but there were SO MANY other ways to do it without mentally hurting them or potentially crushing them from even wanting to try with false statements of "How is should be" or "this is what is expected" when its REALLY NOT. Scripted or not... this show is everything that is wrong with todays world, its uncomfortable and cruel cause there are judges there that have faced situations in the past with companies that HAVE DONE THE SAME things to them and they are willing to do it to another person just cause a producer wrote it down on a piece of paper for MORE views and ratings. They do deserve the backlash [Death threats are pushing it just a bit to far though cause that is just being extreme] but yeah they deserve to be called out for sitting there and doing nothing to fix the problem BEFORE it became one. This is not judging or mentoring and it makes me sick that they are even called Mentors when they ARENT. They are Bullies thanks to the greed of producers and staff pushing the narrative to be CRUEL instead of just using PROPER judging skills to evaluate someone's performance. NO i am not sorry to post this or being this cruel about it cause again WHETHER SCRIPTED OR NOT, they did not take the ball in their own court to be sensible and respectful to humans just trying their best. They were cruel, rude, inhumane and nasty simply cause a piece of paper said to be [IF that was how it even happened, cause if they did so without the script THAT is even worse and i even more so don't feel sorry for my comment AT ALL] So take it as this, this is my FULL opinion on the matter and yea it wont change. I wouldn't give the show even half of one star, i stand with Sun Ying Hao for being brave enough to speak out and Ivan for pushing even though he was having a hard time and after Episode 2, I literally couldn't stomach anymore of this trash show even if they did correct their mistakes or change how it is ran. Like Bruh shows like this SHOWN exist Period

[@GoHaNi]

This SS is the worst...plus I dont know who is that girl judge😂😂 i mean you have SNSD or RV, or BP just pick someone that most people know n have reputation tho..

[@KALYANEY_AOM]

Tell k-pop is toxic without saying it is .

[@shadowfax_87]

This is brutal, i can imagine the trauma the kids have gone thru during that challenge, the show seems like a toxic environment to be in to, with heartless and inconsiderate staffs and mentors. Please parents, pull out your kids.

[@rosepetals_yuji]

Stop complaining here and just go to the official channel and report the video

[@mimikim4258]

So, if I understand correctly, the first criteria of this contest is not talent in itself, but rather the appearance. Interesting…🤔

[@davidk6269]

They need Soyeon as a mentor. ; )

[@klausetalaban8363]

Yet they wonder why no one want to be an idol anymore

[@vell2994]

The jury is being inhumane to these contestants because they were and are treated the same way from their company

[@panasonic_microwave_NN-ST25JW]

i lowkey do agree the fact that some of the judges/mentors are really just powering over the trainees, but apart from that, i do understand the most of the mentor's decisions except the fact that they do have varying expectations towards trainees of different experience/looks which is kind of controversial....

[@mceehammer4185]

naaah at the end of the day these type of survival shows are fccking RIGGED! they already had chosen the people who will debut evn before the show starts. they are just doing this gain more viewership lmao they have been using the very same tactics way way before and its kinda toxic and tiring to watch.

[@SweatWithSoka]

Yep unfortunately

[@rupa15440]

Definitely boycotting that show. I watched it, and during the auditions, they kept talking about how all the Korean members were gone from the top seats. They were so worried about it. The last dude to go to the top seats was Korean.... and many of the contestants weren't graded fairly. A lot of people gave mediocre performances but got high seats, and I just felt there was no actual judging scale. Was I watching America's Got Talent with the one judge that wanted to be comedic?

[@anameowww]

they need to stop with the survival shows it's getting annoying

[@Kpopstan_87513]

There was so many bad survival like skz or enha but this is absolutely absurd

[@roseyrose_jadiebelle]

Wonhee situations all over again

[@ch0cCy]

Y’all have to understand that star quality and charms are also needed for an idol. That is why even though there are a lot of skilled trainees, they still can’t debut. Skills aren’t just enough. Same reason why you’ll see that there’s few whose skills are not super great and would make you question why they debut, but still chosen to debut. That’s just how the industry works

[@Bits_And_P1eces]

Yeah?? But that doesn't make it right. That doesn't mean it shouldn't change. If everyone just gives in to messed up systems like this because "that's just the way things are," then nothing will ever change.

[@XcuseMyCharisma_]

Honestly.. I feel this whole show just needs to tank. Whatever group comes out of this will not be getting any good attention because of the controversies. It's a waste of the efforts and time of these trainees..

[@SweetHina]

This should be boycotted

[@UnlimitedGrapes]

woah... I love daesung but hearing that from him is just what... and the trainees being exhausted and that comment? THAT'S WHY THEY TRAIN BEFORE THE CONCERT!!! not on the spot!!! omg I'm not even watching the show but just seeing these clips is just enough for me not to watch the show...

[@voteyinghao]

I'M WAITING FOR THIS CONTENT!!

[@souljourney60]

I had to cut this show off halfway through the first episode. I am not innocent to these shows and know many of these contestants are already being favored through the audition rounds before the shows start. Even though I understood it, it honestly didn't make it feel any better. I can't get with the vibe of this show honestly. Something feels very off and I don't think I am going to be watching the rest of it despite Hui and Daesung being judges who I was very excited to see. I already heard rumors of Lee Seung Gi making them dance without a break to the point of exhaustion. I wondered what does he even know about dancing to exhaustion because he is a ballad singer and has never danced for an entire concert, which made the whole thing even more pathetic.

[@fizwizbizshowbiz]

call it as it is. it's racism. those judges are racist and this whole show is built on it. i will be rooting for syo!
