[@0.0dots]

She may have been in a group before them but it failed. I'm not saying she's not a good singer or dancer, it's just there's a reason why that was the case. From what she's giving, it's not good. That ATP performance was crazy😅 she could still turn it around in her favor though.

​@@0.0dotssometimes groups fail due to no fault of their own. Maybe there was an issue with the company. That doesn't take away from the group's talent. The fact that she was able to debut in a group in the 1st place says a lot. Especially when you know how hard the trainee process can be

[@0.0dots]

@justSunny7 that's true but the same could be said about other things. I don't personally know though and Im sure she is talented. The fact that she even debuted like you said means something but yeah again I don't know. I would classify a nepotism baby as something different tho

Plenty people have done it after all

[@andromedamessier3176]

@@camelliasinensis219 this is why I can’t get into kpop, except for 2ne1. The song is trendy and the dancing is good, but it felt more like the agency and marketing are more geared towards their charisma and look. I guess that is why they are idol. But I have face blindness so this doesn’t faze me lol. I’m more attracted to the vocal aspects of the entertainer. It shouldn’t be surprising that kpop lip sync live tho because they have to dance too. And most of the fans are scary because I felt like they have this para-relationship with their bias/idol or something. It brought about greed and jealousy. Majority of them aren’t music fans! They are there for their idols face.

[@pro.fessionalcomplainer]

My guess is they're not gonna be an idol /idol/. I think they're going to be a group who releases half-assed music on youtube and doing live on tiktok. It's very unlikely to have them do any music shows or have interviews with press and media. Their public appearance will be very minimal i think. I doubt they will ever release an ep or even an album. They will only be a social media idol group, so their lack of rosters with actual talent problem won't give them much troubles

The Philippines attempted something similar with Beyond Zero. A PPOP boy group made up of TikTokers. When they debuted, they were dragged for not singing live and for their dancing being out of sync and lacking energy. It turns out, that 30 second dances on TikTok did not translate well to doing a whole song. Their singing was also below "the Filipino standard". It was considered idol-level.

Side note: I feel like instagram in particular has this issue compared to other social media sites- I have my own theory about how it's algorithm deliberately promotes inflammatory/hateful content because that's what gets people engaged and spending more time on the app but that's a whole other conversation...

[@prplcoral2473]

I just feel like Korea saw Black Mirror and was like "yes"

[@x_stayathome_x]

Shocked you didn't mention KARA Project and the death of Ahn Sojin. These survival shows are sad.

9:14 THIS PD48 gets a lot hate for obvious reasons, but those reasons aside it was an AMAZING show and Iz*One was really an excellent group. When you considered Kep1er really struggled until the redebuted and gp999 had such low ratings…if you play devils advocate it’s probably because PD48 was so scripted.

[@zen8877]

I used ur fashion Chingu discount last time and it was amazing quality like I love the stuff I bought tysmmm

[@hsfhanaa]

This entire production was such a bummer because we finally got an age range that made sense and it being connected to this mess will probably be what companies and other shows use to justify why they keep getting younger and younger

[@anu83]

Oh this definitely is a cash thing for the company. They did not do anything. Just got the money from this. I am sure the group dont even debut or they debut and disband soon after.

[@astumekei9610]

I'll be very honest, I have not watched your videos for such a long time and you look amazing. The long hair you had to now how you style it is amazing. Kept subscribed to you and I am just happy and proud of you!

[@telliellupus2427]

They could never make me like you Kelly.

[@shasheytm4155]

I just remember something. If you know SB19, you know this story. There was a group formed who are mostly influencers and tiktokers. In the same day in their debut (on stage) as well as their cringy and awful prescon, they didn't last long. I forgot whats the name of the group but I dont careless to search it.

[@shasheytm4155]

What am trying to say is, if they rely on the popularity on social media without training by the professionals especially dedication and down to earth attitude, they will not have the popularity/recognition they wanted. Unlike SB19, they practice 1000x to perfect their dances ang songs

[@star-miubin]

I think someone mentioned this, it's a group called Beyond Zero

[@princess.20011]

It was rigged. at the last, like 30 seconds, this j person gave over $8k gifts to Kelly. it was very sus. they had no picture, no bio, 1 follower, and 1 following. This was 💯 percent an account created by her company because she was losing badly. Her company also created timeturner, so this all make sense

[@SeonghwaffleJem]

“how someone broke all their legs” had me laughing so hard. I’m picturing a K-pop hopeful with six broken legs, lying on the ground like a crumpled insect, being told very dramatically that she will never dance again.

[@Violet_bayolente]

13:34 I'm a moa and i can say she can be appreciated, I respect her identity. Those need to know she has her own talent and that does not mean hueningkai and her sister is an excuse to why she is doing great out there.

It's giving tht black mirror episode where they were on the exercise bikes and went on tht fake Americas got talent show

GD has been dragging me back to gen 2 music and I think imma hang out there for a bit all these new groups and drama are giving me headache

[@sffluuv]

same, i'm so tired of this new gen drama, it's getting annoying atp..

[@PinkBerryMoose]

@ it really is and some fans online are becoming insufferable

[@nattodonuts0]

For me it's TVXQ (DB5K songs mostly). I revisited most of the 2nd gen groups I used to listen when I was younger and of course I was curious of how new gen kpop songs are now. Tbh, I find them quite lacking in vocals and the songs are almost sounding the same. I can agree that they look cute and handsome but I prefer men who look like Taecyeon 2PM and U-know TVXQ😂. I find most new male idols look too pale and more feminine. Of course not every new gen kpop groups are bad but I prefer when idols can sing slow songs and can unleash their vocal potentials. But if someone prefer the new gen music, I don't mind. I guess I'm just getting older lmao

[@halane4790]

I am sorry, as a 2nd gen fan this is hilarious because the drama the kids have nowadays is such bs compared to what we used to have, and to name GD out of all people to highlight current drama is hilarious, he had serious drama until like a few months ago what with the drug investigation 🤣🤣 which ended up being a bunch of nothing, just like the silly new gen drama most times 🤣 No hate to him, he is an icon, but drama free he is not 😂

[@PinkBerryMoose]

@@halane4790 I’m talking more about fandom war drama. There will always be drama surrounding the famous and what they do.

The sad part is that so many of the girls in the show were so talented. Also, the girls only had a total of maybe 2 days to practice each performance and some weeks had multiple performances a week....

is your pfp perhaps from the guy she was interested in wasn’t actually a guy at all..!

[@mrswhiddleberry]

most of the issues ppl have with this are the same issues that plague high production value shows: trainees coming in with pre established fanbases, having connections to celebrities, ppl being favored by viewers for looks over talent, etc. The biggest difference is shows like pd101 have the budget, resources, and professional staff to execute it better

[@sahar11111]

Remember when kpop was about talent, passion, art?? Yeah good times

omg hyunka sister lololol the siblings all look so alike no chance of hiding it even if we didnt already know

Omg… @0:40 mark --SOOOO RELATABLE!!!! I graduated in 07, but I really got into the real world during the Vegas season, and also the Cancun one… I remember always thinking how cool it would be to be on one of those shows. I literally would convince myself I was going to be on one rather it was the real world, or the challenge SMH goodness, you couldn’t pay me enough money to be in that small of a setting with that many people for that long anymore oh heck no

[@childishwars]

I'm just watching this after watching pop star academy so bet your ass I'm going to keep watching this over and over again

as an unconventionally attractive person, an evil part of me is rly smug abt the fact that a lot of these hot people are bad at singing and im not afraid to say that

[@xipheonj]

In a really strange coincidence when I first found Kelly on Instagram last year I thought she was already an idol, specifically Kelly from Tri.be. Same name, similar face. Now she pops up again in an actual Kpop group, and once again I thought she looked familiar and was someone else. She just look like she belongs in kpop, it's a shame she can't sing (yet?).
