[@luisadavalos7325]

I was an international that voted on the first season and I'm against that. Internationals are too bias, yes they support talent but talent that already has a following is a disadvantage for the other girls that haven't been lucky enough to be known internationally. For season 2 for example if internationals had been allowed to vote it probably would be all 4 boys of Nuest + Samuel and another 6 participants. That's pretty unfair for the not famous ones. All of them have trained and cried, some were desperate maybe for some it was their last chance, some came from poverty or broken families, some had the chance to debut but that oportunity was taken away just like Somi but she was lucky to be loved at international level

"Some of my friends had no screentime" "I didn't see them once, wow". It's actually delusional to think that the screentime was fair, of course it wasn't going to be even but c'mon, it was so unballanced! Mnet clearly had favoritism towards Sakura, Hyewon, the Stone and Starship girls. In the other hand Miyu Takeuchi or Go Yujin, for example, had barely any. And what about the girls from Wellmade Yedang? Both of them got an A but got eliminated quickly due to their nonexistent screentime. OK, I get it, it's buissness, but people aren't going to fall for someone who don't know. I have nothing against Sakura but she was obviously going to be extremley popular, she was basically the protagonist of the show, Mnet wanted the public to fall for her, that's why some people called it rigged, Mnet had obviously some favorite contestanst who they showed more. Edit: By now it has already been confirmed that the show was rigged. As expected from the snakes of Ment.

[@Lea-lk4cr]

@@sky_tyong Alexa said she had a body fat percentage of 17 (which is not necessarily unsafe but insanely low for a woman) and about 65 percent muscle mass. There was literally no other way for her to lose weight than reducing muscle mass. Reducing muscle mass. Not even fat but muscle. Have you seen her dance? Then you know where this muscle mass is coming from. I don't know how much muscle mass you have but I would guess it's under 65 percent if you weight 35kg (which is absolutely fine) and you said yourself that your diet is shitty. Alexa has to train and perform a lot and that must be physically exhausting. Losing weight WOULD be dangerous for her. I don't think there are many woman that are 150cm tall, weight 35kg and are healthy at the same time. EDIT No hate btw, I'm just surprised there are actually women weighting 35kg and still feel healthy and it's not the result of an eating disorder. Hope you are doing fine with your body and truly are healthy.

I’m 1.60 cm and the “normal weight for this height is 40-45kg (i weight more but psh .. i just love food too much ) so I don’t think 35kg for 1.50 cm is dangerous at all 35-40kg is a normal weight for this height ! So no problem it’s just dangerous when it’s under this

[@user-yx8bh9gu4t]

Yes, she is very circumspect yet comfortable in the way she expresses herself. However, I think this would be totally lost on a Korean audience who would need a translation for everything she says. Recognizing that so much gets lost in translation, I wonder if it's really going to be worth her while to make a go of it in the K-pop world. She may have a more sympathetic audience in the U.S.

[@cloudquest8006]

​@@user-yx8bh9gu4t her company isn't going to let her debut without being at least conversationally fluent in Korean. very few companies let artists who don't have basic Korean down debut because there's no chance for longevity in their career if they don't. granted, she won't come right out of the gate speaking on an academic level because languages take a lot of time and experience to master, but she has a measured quality about her and like I said is already thinking about the nuance of her word choice and actions, that I think even if she's a little lacking in vocabulary for the first few years, she'll still have that easy-going charisma in Korean that she has in English. although I will say i hope she debuts in a group, hopefully with at least one or two native Korean speakers, because it'll give her support to lean on in interviews and variety when she forgets a word or can't articulate herself or something. also because her chances are higher overall with a group because kpop still just isn't that open to new female soloists.

YOOO THEY DID ALEX SO BADD THOOO i swear 🥺🥺 they hardly gave her screen time and i swear she never spoke

[@rdpaik]

Actually I went back and watched her Peek-a-boo performance and her B class, and they showed Alex quite a bit. I don't think it was unfair. But because she got so few audience votes from Peek-a-boo (I think she was last), they wrote her off after that - which isn't unreasonable. Prior to that, they were fair. I forgot how strong her Peek-a-boo was (Kaeun, Gyuri, Jurina, Yiren).

[@011mph]

I've always wondered about Korea's working laws. Do they not have unions and stuff to protect workers? I constantly hear about idols talking about long filming hours and it just seems ridiculous. How is it even legal for them to make these people stay on set for 24 hours?

[@Escaparrac]

Entertainment world is like that. I worked for 10-14 days nonstop some days doing 12-14h average and I'm not even an idol. Think about the STAFF that works there and comes 1 hour before the idols and 1 hour after.

[@4bf_585]

unfortunetly, korea has piss poor labour laws

[@MinttMeringue]

Yeah, that have pretty sucky laws, and unions aren't a really big thing. Its really more of an American thing. And this all sucks because it lowkey goes against the human rights code the UN has.

[@na-hw8pm]

zynbw um they do that in the US too. That’s just the music industry.

[@user-yx8bh9gu4t]

The way the Korean networks produce these reality shows is really illogical and typical of the "bbali bbali" culture, as well as hard on everyone from the filming crew to the participants. Ratings and rankings are what matter the most and these companies who cannot even wait a reasonable amount of time for episodes to be properly edited thus allowing participants to segue back to their normal lives without the nightmare of living alongside an incomplete show that's being broadcasted almost in real time. The amount of greed these networks have to immediately recoup on their investment immediately is shocking. by comparison, reality shows produced in the U.S. by American networks have considerable lead time before a completed show hits the airwaves, usually a six month lag. So a show like Survivor will wrap after having been filmed on location from beginning to series finale, before it goes to editing where it will be released episodically usually six months later. By this time, all the participants have transitioned back to their normal lives and are free from the pressure of the competition and removed the production to literally look back retrospectively since their last performance was months ago. However, b/c mNet wanted to do a live performance and series finale which aired on their network on 31 August, 2018, there was literally just a one week lag between filming and broadcasting of the last half of the show after an initial series shoot that went from April-May of 2018 before the show's premiere aired on 15 June, 2018.

[@ErikaIglesias07]

[@rachelthehomosapiens]

I've always thought Alexa was talented, but this video made me really respect her as a person. Because of how badly she was screwed over by Mnet with her non-existent screen time, it would have probably been so tempting for her to shade IZ*ONE or be jealous, but she wasn't - she was really classy and sweet. That takes character.
