let's talk about ILAND2's final lineup (opinions + predictions)

[@vangyul]

As stayc’s producer and ceo said: it’s not a problem if you have a voice crack because that can happen to anyone at any time, you should only worry if you sing out of tune because that means you’re doing something wrong and you haven’t practiced enough ☝️🤓 so in conclusion, Sarang is more than talented!

[@pookjiyoon]

this. voice cracks doesn't make you a bad vocalist, even some "good" vocalists could crack, istg i hate when people act like it's a terrible flaw

[@Jazzyjihyo]

but like Fuko is definitely a stronger vocalist than Sarang

[@Ddeonu-Stan1245]

@@Jazzyjihyo then why didn't people vote for Fuko more? Sarang ranked 5th in votings, it was the audience who would pick the debuting members, there was only 2 producers pick which was Mai and Saebi but even both of them would still be in the lineup even if everything was VOTE wise, since Fuko ranked 8th, she wouldn't debut no matter what.

[@sapphire6806]

​@litehouseaj2394 Yes, but Sarang's a better dancer, rapper, and has better stage prescence.

[@Jazzyjihyo]

@sapphire6806 I think someone deleted their comment I was responding to about Fuko

[@icbyf2]

Heavily agree with Sarang, she voiced cracked once or twice and now she's untalented? 😭 She showed good vocals even before those voice cracks and nobody gave a shit but when she voice cracks they call her a bad singer. I'm glad someone noticed her star quality right from the very start.

[@Jazzyjihyo]

she also ran out of breath a lot, but she is still a good singer overall and it is frustrating that people hear a voice crack and jump to that conclusion

[@iloveyouiwantyouseokmattchu]

Yuju and Fuko were my second and third picks, but realistically I knew they wouldn't make it so I was already mentally prepared. Anyway, hard agree on Sarang. Yes, her voice has cracked, and yes, favouritism was involved with the judges, but I don't think people should only look at her shortcomings instead of how many times she's done well. She's been in my lineup since the beginning and I've always recognised her potential. And as for Mai, she's never been in my lineup, but I do see why she's in the group. I think she can improve more in terms of skills but hating on her isn't okay. I'm so happy the giant babies all debuted together (especially my one-pick Jeemin!)

[@Decripter007]

I completely agree that Sarang is an all rounder. However, people do not recognize that Jungeun is also an all rounder who knows how to sing, rap, and dance. She came on as a dance position but was assigned most of the vocal parts and we were able to see her rap in the last episode

[@soft4taeng]

I think people tend to not recognize jungeun as an all rounder just because she is especially strong at one thing (singing) so her vocals usually end up getting more attention compared to her other skills. I have a feeling that once the group debuts, jungeun will mostly be utilized for her vocals instead of letting her showcase herself as an all rounder, just because she is one of the only members, along with jiyoon, that can sing really challenging songs, while there are other girls to take on dancing and rapping roles already, but still, i hope wake one will actually give us all rounder jungeun in the future.

[@jisung1399]

While her having a very solid vocal abilities is a part of it, I think that the show not marketing her other abilities is also a huge factor. We didn't get to see praises about her dancing skills from the mentor even though she's one of the best dancer in the show. I think this show for me is the worst in show​casing the talent of the trainees which is baffling because you would think that having fewer contestant to focus on (compared to other idol survival show)will definitely help. @@soft4taeng

[@Jazzyjihyo]

yeah I felt Jungeun filled that position and instead they would be looking for another vocalist like Fuko

[@horanghaechan]

i agree with the mai one, she is lacking a bit but she has improved ALOT (comparing to the begining). She worked over night and she focused on trying to adapt to something she wasnt used to. (Nasal voice , dance moves , etc.) She focuses on the small details some wouldnt notice, she really cares about overall looks and focuses on her BEST. She also brings good visuals / vibe to the group if tha makes sense.. alot of people stan groups for how the groups looks and then how good their music is, so she could bring in some fans. I get how some people are upset she debuted instead of fuko or yuju, but we cant control it. It could be that producers thought fuko couldve been overshadowed vocal wise (not that there cant be two/three good vocalist). 🤷

[@soft4taeng]

these haters are so pathetic because they be acting as if talent is the ONLY thing that matters, but i bet they also stan some idols just for their looks or just because they're funny, yet they hate on Mai for her lacking skills...

[@horanghaechan]

@@soft4taeng exactly 😭 80% of kpop stans come from visuals and not from skills, usually they get into the group from their overall looks and slowly start falling for their music or skills. people hating on mai because she has less skills then others doesnt make sense when half the idols they stan is because of their personality. (which is valid depending on how u put it.) skills are important but being captivating / intresting is also important for people who arent that big of stans or just casual listeners, and im sure mai could be able to do that. she has good looks and is compassionate. Having skills are important but just because she has less than othermembers doesnt mean shes horrible, just means there is more to learn.

I liked Fuko, but I feel like Jungeun and Jiyoon have a "stronger impact", not that Fuko doesn't have that, she is super talented and she has a great voice, but in comparison to these 2, she is less impactful, this is my opinion. I'm happy with this line up because all my favs have debuted, Jeemin, Jiyoon, Jungeun and Koko, except for one (which was Sujung). For once I can say that I'm happy with a final line up. Plus all the members of the "Drama" team have debuted! (Mai, Jeemin, Jiyoon and Jungeun). And ofc I'm happy for Sarang and Saebi too, I can't wait too see all the content with the girls! About Fuko, I think she will debut one day, she is very talented, I think it is just a matter of time, just like it was for Jeemin.

Sarang literally has a strong one pick. Go and check polls. She always top 5 in one picks and her one pick is very strong in Indonesia and China💀 y’all should’ve voted for the eliminated trainees harder. They all placed 8th, 9th and 10th so they would’ve never debuted either way

[@eluneee00]

Fuko is basically Yurina 2.0. She’s in everyone’s top pick but she’s not everyone’s favorite but how can we blame the fans? She never had a solid storyline unlike the rest.

[@Stay_Zerose]

7:47 seriously people act like Talent is the only important thing in Kpop. Um, visual is a whole ass position in Kpop and they are very often the most biased members of the groups as they most often also have magnetic personalities. Mai's job in the group will be variety content, modelling and having impactful small parts in the song, maybe if they want to beef up her resume she can get some rap training. Mai isn't a stand out vocalist, but in a group with Jiyoon and Jungeun she really doesn't have to be

[@shritiyadav1219]

For all the people hating on sarang let me remind you when practicing jeemin also had so many voice cracks just because she pulled on the stage you are ignoring that than sarang also had no voice cracks while practicing, that's how common voice cracks are...

I feel like Mai is going to become the Bahiyyih/Hyewon of this group. She'll probably have less lines than the other members and is probably going to get a lot of hate for being the "Dozen" of the group. Even though I think the eliminated girls probably deserved to debut more than her, she's not as untalented as some of you make her out to be and I wouldn't wish that amount of hate on anyone.

[@OnceUBellieve]

Not sure about that because Hyewon really didn't had any emotions or expressions on stage. She never really improved. Bahiyyih never was a solid performer but she did improved a bit. The thing about Mai is she's only a bad singer. She's a really good performer, like in "Rain on me" fancam?? And she improved her voice a lot in "Into the new world." I think, for now ppl are so mad that Fuko and Yuju didn't debut so they bully Mai as a punching bag, but if she's stable enough on their debut, ppl will forget about it and praise her. As long as she doesn't perform as Moka or Sakura, we're good.

The group is a banger! My predictions on the roles: Jungeun: Main vocalist, Lead dancer, Rapper (an all rounder) and Leader (I prefer her over jiyoon as a leader) Jeemin: Lead dancer, vocalist,FOTG,Center Jiyoon: Main Vocalist Koko: main rapper, main dancer Sarang: Lead Vocalist, Main Dancer, rapper (another all rounder) Mai: Dancer, rapper and Visual Saebi: Lead Dancer, Vocalist, Center, Maknae

Yeah i can definitely see saebi and jungeun being lead dancers too, after all they are the all rounders along with sarang so i think they'll do a bit of everything. As for the pd picks, you're absolutely right, at the end of the day it's as if there had not been any pd pick considering mai and saebi would have debuted by public voting, so people getting mad and screaming about favoritism are getting tiring. Yes the judges have not been impartial during the show, but what's done is done, just get over it.

I see you're quite forgiving and kind in your prediction 😅 In my opinion , this is what I'll change : 1. I would put sarang as lead dancer. (I expect more bigger polished movements, better grasp of power, flexibility, footwork, good isolation and good overall balance in order to be a main dancer) 2. Jungeun can also potentially be a main dancer if she work on her upper body flexibility. 3. I would argue that saebi and mai needs to work more on their dancing skills so I would put them in vocal position for now. 4. I like the idea of jungeun being the leader but for some reason I kinda imagine Mai to also fit the role 😂

Despite Mai being my top pick, I do agree that she is still lacking. When the three candidates were announced, I was thrilled that Mai was chosen but I knew she wouldn't get picked against Fuko and Saebi, but she did. I was over the moon, sure, but the reason why I didn't think she'd get picked was precisely because she is lacking. I will not ignore her immense amount of work, fixing her nasal sound when she sang, working until late at night to perfect her skills, helping others fix their mistakes. She has grown so much, and while she still is missing some skills, I'm sure she'll make a great idol. Knowing her, she'll improve so much as izna progresses and she'll definitely be a great team member with her amount of discipline

i feel like fuko were meant to be in the line up but then when it came to chose between mai and her when she did not place 1-5 place with fan votes they were gonna pick mai as the japanese addition bc they love her visual and hard working attidude, but i think all of the girls put a good effort in to debuting, so im really sad about that fuko were not picked by producers bc she is a ready debuting star and so talaented and has also the good visulas and leader ship, but i will support both of them in the future! Fuko love you and mai

[@kpoppy9635]

I think Fuko screwed herself when she didnt rise to the challenge of rapping. I did want to see Jungeun rap but I was wondering why Fuko and Sarang were in rap positions when they were vocalists...I realized after it was because they knew Jungeun and Jiyoon were going to debut due to their high votes and they wanted to see who could fit in as a rapper since Yuju's votes were low. (I also dont think they ever seriously considered Yuju for the group.) If Fuko showed she could rap or at least tried to take on the challenge, I think she might have been chosen by producers. But because she failed to do so, it showed she was too insecure and they decided not to debut her.

I'M EXPECTING so much since the Pd is Teddy-nim. Gonna be like BP vibe maybe~ that's what I'm imagining

[@h.ho5hi]

Mai has been my only bias since day one, I gotta be honest! She got the visual, she might not be as good as anyone in singing, but she's really improved. Her speciality is dancing, but she still pulled singing and rapping. She lacks a lot, but she still learning. She showed great changes and improvements. Plus, PD's pointed out that her attitude is something good and should trainees have. She got fanbase esp. In Japan where this group will promote also. That's marketing ~

[@trtevi]

The lineup is basically something I predicted, tbh I thought it would be Fuko over Mai, but I also have no problem seeing why Mai was chosen. Either way, the PD picks are the same as voters' picks, so there is no "controversy". On a side note, I have a slight problem with Saebi. The praise she received for her good facial expressions somehow harmed her. If you follow her performances after IWALY, you can see that she makes the same facial expression as she did in IWALY, and at some moments it looks comical, it's most noticeable in Fake it. I hope someone brings this up to her and she can work on it before people start making fun of her.

[@Rodingliani12]

Just like us we all have pick judges can like and pick someone too. Its not that serious. You that your fav is the best vocalist or rapper but for some it may not sound that beautiful thats why no survial show have only one judge. You can't blame someone juat because they don't share your thoughts 😅

[@Seunghancomebackhome]

my top 6+Mai(Top 8) debut. Im still sad tho because i wanted it to be more 9 members so we could have yuju and fuko. I called jungeun was going to be first jeemin second and jiyoon third. I'm a prediction goddess.

[@DUAL1]

yk i never really understand why ppl discredit the debut members just bc there faves didn't make it they all worked so hard for this moment and yet the haters act like some of them don't deserve it... like you don't even have to stan the group it's your choice and if you wanna support your faves then you probably should. Like honestly I'm so sad because fuko didn't make it but I'm still going to support her and izna. AND LETS BE FORREAL NOW IT'S NOT LIKE SOME COMPANIES ARE ALREADY TRYING TO SNATCH/CONTACT ALL 3 YUJU FUKO AND GYURI ALREADY.

[@kuffeecheesecake7262]

Leader position candidates that I think of.. Jeemin - very mature and kind Jiyoon - honest and reasonably stern Jeongeun- fast on her feet and great skills Mai - Hardworking all of them are pushed so hard to be the leader

I agree ! Fuko was in my top 6 pick but when you really think about it she doesn’t fit the yg/the black label vibe ! Fuko is more in my opinion a SM/HYBE vibe. She’s on the softer/ elegant side

i was also sort of unsure as to what the appeal was with jeemin until la vie en rose, but i get it now 🥰

[@IVEREIStan]

it was the rlly early hours of the morning when the final aired, so when Mai was chosen by the pds I threw my phone across the room and feel asleep 😭 I woke up later to find that they made saebi the 7th member. I was rlly lucky to get 1st pick (saebi) and 2nd pick (jiyoon) both in the final lineup.

[@ariofebrianto2114]

MY IMO Positions : MAI : Leader, Lead Dancer, Vocalisit, Rapper, Visual. JEEMIN : Lead Dancer, Vocalist, Visual. JIYOON : Main Vocalist. KOKO : Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Vocalist. SARANG : Lead Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Lead Rapper, Visual JUNGEUN : Main Vocalist, Rapper, Centre. SAEBI : Main Dancer, Lead Rapper, Vocalist, Maknae.

[@rafaelluciano]

yay.... another teen crush concept.... we don't have enough of those.....

[@nosananolife8027]

I'll give lead dancer position for Jungeun

[@fmo85]

I feel mnet tried evil editing Jungeun halfway through the season, it was weird. Like showing how she forces her opinions on the team, or how she tried to take over leadership in that one episode(i forgot which one). I think thats why she got such a low score on the duet she had with Jiyoon. Pretty sure it back fired and why after that she took 1st in voting for the rest of the season. Either that or they tried reverse psychology on the viewers to get her more votes because the editing switched up after that.

[@Stay_Zerose]

I still think they edited Jungeun poorly in the second half knowing it would scare people into voting for her and not get complacent. Like I have watched enough survival shows were a sure thing didn't make it because everyone focused on voting for other trainee's they thought needed the votes more. Like she was center in the signal song, they were never gonna not want her in the line-up

[@misty-cheen6847]

Jungeun can also be a lead dancer, her moves are very sharp and she pays attention to details as well

[@ericjiayu7408]

people who complain about the lineup shows hat they forgot too soon their runext trauma. the only fan favorite missing is fuko, who wouldn't have debuted anyways because she was 8th in votes, but fans are acting like if this was a mess.

[@chaecvpids]

YOU ATE THIS SO MUCH

[@kellylee5003]

Since we're sharing, here's my opinions : (this is gonna be long) 1. Jungeun : I think it was a bit obvious from the Drama Performance that there was a high chance she debuted. She was my 6th pick for the lineup, and I'm so glad she made it! I think she'll be the Lead Vocalist, maybe a leader considering the amount of times she has been on the show. 2. Jeemin : She was the one person everyone knew would debut regardless of circumstance. She had a solid fanbase from RUNEXT who were very dedicated to her. I don't know how she was on RUNEXT coz I never watched it, but I've liked her since Drama and she was my 5th pick for the lineup. She could be a center along with maybe lead vocalist, FOTG and dancer. 3. Jiyoon : Jiyoon was on very shaky ground, considering MNET's evil editing to make her a negative character in the story. But, like the other, I've liked her since Drama coz her vocals are just really unique and she was my 3rd pick. IMO, she'll be the Main Vocalist, and that's because she has the 'YG Style' and really unique vocals. 4. Koko : I think Koko solidified her position in Lovesick Girls/Spicy, and that's when she really actually stood out to me. However, she was never one of my picks. Regardless, she's a talented dancer and rapper, so she'll probably be the Main Rapper, Main Dancer and Sub-vocalist. 5. Sarang : Unlike Koko, Sarang hasn't really caught my eye and has hence never been one of my picks. I think the place she stood out to me most was Mic Drop and Sugarcoat. She's a good dancer and, like we saw in the last episode, a good rapper too. She could be the Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer, and Vocalist. 6. Mai : Mai's been my top pick since Drama coz she really just caught my eye with the way she performed. I think you guys get the roll, I just loved the Drama perf a lot. I admit, she has weak vocals, but I think she's a good dancer and an average rapper. I think the judges picked her not only for her unique visuals and fan following, but also because of stage presence and just that she would compliment the other girls styles. She is the impact princess for a reason. I think she could be the lead dance, a lead/just plain rapper (she's improved rapidly through the show, so if she did the same she could rap a lot better before debut), sub-vocal and visual. 7. Saebi : Ngl, I was heartbroken she wasn't debuting since she was my 4th pick. Then they said she would be the 7th member, and I was relieved. Saebi stands out because of her facial expressions, so I think she could be like a rotating center with Jeemin depending on the concept. She could also be a vocalist and visual. 8. Group Name : Honestly, you said it all. Izna just sounded like Iz*one to me, I can't imagine how Yuri probably felt in that moment. But hey, decent meaning plus we can't change it so wtvr ig. 9. Concept : I think this lineup was the best we could get out of the Iland2. All 7 girls can fit versatile styles. Maybe they could have a storyline like Enhypen does and have different concept of music. I think they would have music like the original songs Final Love Song, IWALY, Drip and Fake It. 10. The Fuko drama : She was my 2nd pick, so ofc I was upset. But y'all, that's no reason to go after Mai and Sarang (who are just as talented). Fuko is a great vocalist, however, we alr have Jungeun, Jiyoon and even Jeemin to do that. She is a decent dancer, but most other finalists were better. And, like we saw in the last ep, she can't rap. If she could, she might have been able to wow the audience like Sarang did, but she didn't. She wouldn't have fit this lineup, and rathar didn't have a place coz her strongest skill, vocal, wasn't of much again Jiyoon or Jungeun. As upset as we are, let's please be respectful to the Izna members and hope she debuts under another company or pulls a Jeemin on another survival show. That's the end of my Ted Talk :)

[@CBrown-io9js]

There's not really much controversary compared to prior survival shows. I think the only thing that upset me is when they revealed Koko as #8 in the interim ranking. I think Japan started voting for Koko instead of Fuko, which resulted in Fuko no longer being part of the group. But that would be entirely MNET's fault.

[@ilikeyourpost0739]

[@iznaya_saeko]

thank you 🫶

[@2yj1stfan]

Yes, all the girl who got picked basically got in with voting so people shouldn’t really be mad if their picks didn’t get in but I don’t think y’all are understanding that if all people who made into the top 7 voting were gonna debut, then there was no need for the Pd picks. That’s what’s creating confusion cause there was really no point for them to announce Pd picks if it was just gonna be the ppl who made it to the top 7 cause they would’ve made it either way so it loses it’s purpose but maybe it’s because I’m new to this survival show thing cause it really doesn’t make sense to me. Y’all keep tryna dismiss people’s feelings by telling them that they should have voted harder(and they should’ve) but how do we know that their picks would’ve gotten in if they placed let’s say 7th? For all we know the producers could’ve picked someone over them regardless that’s how it works so regardless if people did vote for their picks and they made the producers could’ve discarded them, there’s really no telling. At the end of the day the group has already been picked and the most all of us can do is support either the groups or the girls who didn’t get in or both… let’s just hope none of the girls lose themselves after not being able to make it.

[@soft4taeng]

Ultimately there is no telling of what would have happened. I think the judges would have picked mai and saebi regardless of them ranking 6th and 7th, i don't think they took their rankings into consideration that much, they would have picked them anyway, it just so happened that they coincidentally ranked right behind the others . I think people voted as hard as they could for their picks, it's just that some girls had bigger followings, so i wouldn't really blame it on stans being lazy and not voting, because some girls just didn't have enough supporters. What bothers me about some stans whose picks didn't make it is that even if their disappointment is valid, they have no right to take it out on the girls that debuted or on their stans who worked hard to make them debut. It's always the same thing with every survival show and it's getting tiring.

[@2yj1stfan]

@@soft4taeng Exactly, I also believe that they would’ve picked both saebi and mai regardless of their ranking or the other girls’, so my point still stands in my opinion. Disregarding people’s feelings of disappointment by telling them that they should’ve voted harder is stupid considering the outcome would’ve probably been the same if they did vote harder. I agree that taking it out on the girls who have no part in this is definitely not right but I’m also not gonna say that stating your opinion that “redacted making it into the group doesn’t make sense” is wrong either. People can express their disappointment and criticism without hating which I’ve seen people do and also some people who don’t. I’m not surprised that people are furious or being disgusting considering this is how kpop stans are on a daily basis.

[@z-kun5194]

trueee because it's pd picks so ofc ppl want it to be a well deserved one who get it 😔 im not saying mai doesn't deserve it but there's clearly fuko who deserved it more imo. I do think ppl will not be this mad if the lineup were all announced based on the voting

[@lytrell]

For me, I didn't notice Sarang initially until she ended up in the top. So I assume it may be the same for others because it's only when she got to the top her voice started to crack, and I noticed her more.

izna (이즈나) is pronounced smthing like ijeuna/ijuna since the "z" sound doesnt really exist in korean. maybe you like it better(?). but yeah i agree it is really similar to iz*one. the audacity to show that name in front of THE jo yuri 😭

[@itzbenji3539]

my top 3 debuted (sarang jiyoon and jungeun) and i think that every member of izna deserved to debut, i also really wanted yuju to debut but i was already prepared that she would not and about fuko i think that she didn't debut because yes she has a great voice but jiyoon and jungeun are better and she has nothing to give other than visual, in the last episode they gave her a rap part that she could perform and if she did that she would probably debut but she gave up and gave it to jungeun.

[@minhyuklees1bebe902]

i feel really bad for fuko though, i think many people expected her to be a pd pick and thought her debut was secured after her being credited as a lyricist in iwaly just for the producers to completely snob her and just jumble the rank 6 and 7 in voting as "pd picks". not that mad about the debut lineup though, i'm just happy that everyone really pushed jungeun to that debut spot because a talent like hers shouldn't be wasted! hopefully fuko will be able to find a better opportunity and debut really soon.

[@boeunswaifu]

jeemin is a bit center material (she’s not really stable tho and her breathing is bad) but wakeone (black labels) makes the first place the center and gives them a solo in the debut album so if jeemin comes out as our center it would be unfair.

[@babyzzzzzzzz]

i'm so glad i watched the show the day after and got spoiled the name and that there was going to be 7 members and like an hour before i watched it i accidentally saw a picture of saebi picture with the caption izna saebi, she was my top pick and i would have a stroke if they get to 5 members and announced mai instead of saebi and fuko(don't get me wrong mai was in my line up for most of the show and only dropped out of it cuz i was trying to manage my expectations towards the end and thought mai was getting to much shit from the coaches and too little screen time)

[@jhensd2702]

very well said!❤

[@Yourluckenosaur]

I wish they have the IWALY kind of concept (where saebei was the centre)😭

[@shiba-san1441]

Tbh this was one of the first survival shows I watched that anyone could have been on that lineup and I won't have been mad. I would have loved for Fuko to debut but I really think that Fuko needs to be in a group where she is the main vocalist. If she debuted with izna she won't have been the main vocalist. All the other girls are talented, i don't know why people call mai a dozen because although she isnt the best vocalist, she isnt a below average vocalist and she is a good performer. Same with Sarang. Yuju was also very talented but I had a feeling she wasn't going to debut so I will support her in any group she decides to debut in if she decides to still be an idol. The only person I probably won't have wanted in the lineup is gyuri and not because she isn't talented but because she is 15 so that's pretty young. As for the judges, I really was expecting them to pick fuko but when I heard thier reasons for choosing thier picks I kind of understood. Although Fuko my one pick didn't make it I'm not upset at the final lineup because all the girls are really talented.

[@ryusungi4569]

a lot of people hating on mai and sarang, sometimes even saebi. but tbh im just sad that they didnt add more surprise members or just debut everyone bc the talent that fuko, yuju and gyuri have are sooooooo good 😭

[@_c.a.t__]

I think jungeun can be main vocal lead dancer and sub rapper

[@cattosakamotto]

The problem are the judges/mentors always putting the marketable level of these participants instead of the talent. The show has some actual good trainees who are definitely ready to debut. Its just that certain mentors/judges gets too blinded with having the "visual", "hardworking" & "cute" types when it comes to choosing the members for the group. There are participants in the show that actually showed good-decent vocal skills, is marketable & is also a decent dancer & performer but the mentors rely on dividing it instead of having the participants have it all or at least 2 of them. This is why the extra's & pd picks are frustrating to see. Just be "nice", look pretty & do the absolute bare minimun then you'll have the viewers empathy to make you win. I'm frustrated with how even the "fans" have such low standards.

[@athena.5937]

Visuals are one of the important aspects if your being a celebrity or an idol. Alot of people got into a certain kpop group because of their visuals then after a while they will get to know the talents/skills the members have.

The only thing that can mess up this line up is WakeOne. After part 2 we all know that all 10 contestants deserve the spot. Idk why people are being so aggressive, it's a survival show companies will fight over your faves even if they didn't debut because they already have an audience.

[@amiboacid7183]

The point is: improving is for trainees, people who should debut are the ones that are ready. Especially after how much everyone dragged Linlin

[@soft4taeng]

The thing is, they are all trainees, keep in mind that none of these girls are experienced idols and it's natural they are gonna make mistakes and grow from them. I agree that those that were already ready kinda deserved to debut more, but it's pretty clear that survival shows have never been only about skills. And also, when it comes to being ready to debut, it's not only about how ready your are in terms of skills, but also about how ready you are in terms of star quality, how ready you are to be an idol, an entertainer, and i feel like everybody that debuted was more than ready for it.

[@amiboacid7183]

@@soft4taeng I think LingLing has star quality too, but the show pushed this line up since episode one and gave little chance to others to stand out. Girls in part 1 had close to zero screentime, you can’t show your star factor if they edit you out. Take Kang Jiwon or Yuiko for example, shown as much as some of the people in the live audience lol. I can’t even recall how they looked like. And it works the other way around too. I know that’s how survival shows work but this was too much “in your face”
