i'm sad they didn't debut after all, but... all the project did to the guys was making them struggle. i'm happy they're all better now and huge thumbs up to leo for proving he's changed and reflected on his controversy. i love all 7 of them.

@@alexandra-hf2zkit’s not that he admitted, he just had to say that to make idiot fan shut up. Like how would you cancel a trainee to the point where ha left his group ?

[@SwordSnapper289]

I really wanted Sangwon to debut, but he has left Hybe to start a modeling career. Sangwon supposedly started training at BigHit in 2016 which means that up until leaving, he had the longest training period out of any (undebuted) trainee at Hybe. He trained with both TXT and Enhypen. He has been mentioned by Taehyun in a vlive and went on vacation with Jay and Heeseung to Brunei. He said in one of the Trainee A videos that he was trying to not get his hopes up because he had been in disbanded projects before. I think after the attention Trainee A received pre-debut, their debut seemed almost inevitable, which makes the disbandment of the project even more heartbreaking for him. I think that is what made him finally leave the company. It's also compounded because I think he was very close with Leo from watching their videos. I would love to see him debut in another group, but I don't think he can experience any more heartbreak like this.

[@thatkpopsis]

He’s the one I’m most sad for!

I was ready to stan Trainee A with all my heart 😭 I loved their extreme chemistry and how they radiated confidence and naturalness even when talking in front of the camera. They were also very talented and synchronized when it came to dancing. 😭 I still want them to debut altogether, even of what's left of them now :((

[@cherishhighvibes4283]

So many of us identified as Aeons, and were so excited to support their debut😢. I always had the impression that they were not supported properly by the company. They needed more guidance, and mentors. Why did the company release such controversial content? And young people will make mistakes, because you have to experience life to learn and grow. Trainees are in a little bubble, and don't get to have the same life experiences the rest of us take for granted. What a talented group of young men they are. I have been keeping my eyes open for any hopes of seeing them again. We know Yorch debuted, on his own, in Thailand. It breaks my heart to think Sangwon, and Woochan might give up their dreams of a career in entertainment. They are so young, still, and I pray they are just taking a break after such a stressful time. Especially Sangwon, after training so long. Someone needs to acknowledge his potential and scout him! I Loved Leo's musical style, and also praying that he continues producing! Thank you for reporting on this! I think we will always be watching for them!💪🤨

[@vajda_vvy]

I think that after Leo's departure, the mood within the team was probably just not the same, and they eventually decided to cancel the project as a result. We do not know what happened behind the scenes, but we know that Leo had struggled a lot towards the end, so it's not hard to imagine that the others struggled too. Add to it the pressure, your friend's departure etc., and you might just find yourself with a recipe for disbandment.

[@1Skorpia]

I really think there was much more issues and it was never as simple as leo leaving. Even after he left I'm sure they tried. Something was way off. Hybe fkd up on this one.

[@skarbuskreska]

​@@1Skorpiathey were meant to write own songs, Leo was basically the backbone of that with Woochan. When Leo left, they just had a strong dance line, a strong rapper and a yet unfnished Yorch. Without Leo there just wasn't enough to debut them. I think they might have tried as they did some additional videos, but with debut again moved by month to years I guess Sangwon was the next to give up as he was close to Leo and had the longest waiting period. Still thinking the younger dance line and Woochan will debut somewhere. Hybe better kerp them as they had a lot talent.

[@coxobloxo7096]

the fact that if you debut under Bighit you have to be really good or backlash especially when your seniors are THE BTS and THE TXT can't imagine the pressure on them and i am rooting for them hope they all become very successful

[@ghost_lemons_1525]

JJ has so much potential, hismlack of debut would be a talent wasted. Tbbh it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up on Iland 2 or some other survival show in the near future. Heck, I think he'd stand a good chance of winning or at the very least make the lineup. This could be true for pretty much all of this group.

It’s so sad I also heard that most of them went back home and quit, and some of them like JJ are still on the run looking for a place in an idol group. I could be wrong though but I wish them the best ❤

[@orangemagic4881]

They already developed the true friendship, if “Leo not in the group, then I will leave”, and one more thing about debuting trainee is that they need to be completely ready to be an idol so that they can truly make their debut.

It's quite simple yet so hard for people to get; what happened behind the scenes of a label is obviously unknown to us. We do not even know what was the real reason behind Trainee A's disbandment. So to assume irrelevant things on our own is just ridiculous. Believe me, there's always a reason for everything. So I m pretty sure something must have happened and that's why Trainee A was dissolved.

[@kizzygreen6477]

K-Pop fandoms can be EXTREMELY judgemental, it irks my soul. Most Idols spend their youth becoming what the fans want and often don't get opportunities to develop autonomy. Some fans think they own them, image and all. They are human, and humans are fallible

[@gpotts875]

I was following trainee a for awhile and I was really looking forward to their debut. I was mainly looking forward to Woochan because I remember when he was on SMTM6 when he was younger and he was really talented. I remeber watching the battle where it was Woochan and (I forgot the other persons name) vs won jae and Asol and when Asol said something about how woochan will be an Idol. And when Woochan was announced as a member of TraineeA I rewatched that video. I was also a fan of JJ because of his dancing skills. I am also kind of wondering how Jihoon and James are doing because they weren't mentioned in this video at all.

[@LovelyKissess]

It's because it's kpop. If he was rapping on a Drake song with those lyrics, no one would think twice about it and would be loving him and his verse, never thinking twice about it. Kpop stans think kpop idols can't do any wrong, and when they do, it hurts their feelings

[@thatbabiechoiceot5469]

Because they're hypocrites. Han of Stray Kids did the exact same but worse with racist remarks and aave in a rap when he was also young like Leo but barely anyone criticized him. Many other idols did the same but instead of ppl educating him and criticizing him properly they just sent Leo death threats n shit.

They scrap the project and with it goes the hopes and dreams of both the boys and their fans. I've been into kpop songs for over 15 years but I hate the industry more with each passing year. They need a clause of "we will not be heartless douchebags with both artist and fan". What harm could come if these guys had normal professional social media that people could keep tabs on?

[@mysteriogaming478]

I said This before in another video I think that the reason why trainee A’s debut got canceled was because of Leo’s scandal and before his scandal I think BIGHIT desperately wanted to debut him and make Leo the leader of trainee A but ever since that scandal he left the company and I think BIGHIT kind got a little upset. And when he left BIGHIT probably didn’t see any interest in trainee A anymore but that was my opinion there could of been another reason but IDK 🤷‍♂️

I believe that's why too. Could be wrong, but it's also possible. Leo was super talented and him leaving had to hurt. That was messed up though. They could have let that pass over and debut them.

쫓아냈다고 누가 그래? 마지막 테스트 끝나면 7명 바로 데뷔준비 들어갈 시기였는데 리오가 버티다 나간거야 회사랑도 4-5개월정도 긴시간동안 얘기했고 리오가 이팀의 중심인데 회사에서 내쫓아 말이돼? 결론은 리오 나가고 프로젝트종료 데뷔무산 된거야 잘 모르면 글 쓰지마 제발 연습생A 팬이였으면 잘 알텐데 개인팬 이였니? 그냥 리오 인스타가서 놀아 하이브 욕하지말고

​​​​@@Im.me.hi.Yeah, a lot of people seem to think money is equal to being greedy. But debuting Kpop group need an insane amount of investment and simple mistakes could destroy everything. This big company have thousands of staff, and they also need money to invest in the future debut group. Currently BTS still contribute more than half of Hybe's income and investor are still skeptical about Hybe's capabilities to survive without BTS and any mistakes or failures, fan will blame company. I agree with you, I am also sad about Trainee A situation but yeah, it's easy to blame than see the whole picture.

hello everyone :)

[@Rin_chan101]

I really need to see leo come back and jj

[@ekuniverse1]

1:37 is the New Zealand flag not Australia

[@clareyoma]

Can you make another vid cause james was a backup dancer for jungkook’s inkigayo stage. Jihoon was seen entering hybe. And leo is debuting solo under hanbin’s company. Yorch is debuting in a group under hanbin’s company.

[@Elias-hg4qz]

Is there any hope for JJ's debut, please reply 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@clareyoma]

@@Elias-hg4qz there hasn’t really been any definite proof of him still being a trainee but around a month or two ago, he was seen riding a train in korea so hes still probably a trainee. Cause if not then he would most likely return to japan

[@Elias-hg4qz]

​@@clareyoma❤❤❤❤thank you for replying

[@__h__-]

Plz make updated video on this topic again. I only know that Jihoon is in TWS , but what about Sangwon and jj??

[@Elias-hg4qz]

Even I want to know how Jay is doing 😭

[@SehajleenKaur-pr6te]

Sangwon started his modelling career and has a solo song while JJ is expected to be under peldis entertainment or SM entertainment(because he was seen in the SM entertainment Tokyo) so he might be a SM trainee

[@__h__-]

@@SehajleenKaur-pr6te thanks for the info. Can you plz give sangwon's song name?

[@01v.b]

I waited for three years just for them to not debut together😞. After Leo’s departure things turned harder for them. Nowadays I follow four of them and they’re doing great, I’m still supporting them, forever🩷❤️

[@lea5308]

Well, it was known that they wouldn’t debut ever since the project started.

[@01v.b]

@@lea5308yeh…ik, I was just in negation abt it. I’d also like to know abt James’s whereabouts, he was so funny, so soft😞

[@edoardorivera4119]

It’s give me Sungtarookies over again by Trainee A, even they have different things, when all 5 members waited for their debut, but they kicked out of Nct for nothing after 3 years for Shotaro & Sungchan and Shohei was a group under Avex just for 1 year (2017-2018) and trainee again for 5 years under Sm and they decided don’t let him debut with the 4 boys, because he have issues problems, it’s not about his health problems , probably for his age, because SM said he too old, when he is 26 years old for no reason, which is normal age to be idol

[@chaehfair]

Is there any updates on Jihoon?:(

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

As we all know it is a cut throat industry so you can train for years, are very talented, etc.. and still not debut which is a big shame but is reality. I hope they get to debut in other ways as they worked so hard for so many years and are so talented. It would be a big waste of their efforts and talents if they cannot debut. However, even if they could not debut, I still wish for them the best regardless of what they decide to do!👍😊

[@sunghanBIN-hr6mh]

Yorch is debuting in POW next month!

[@vickiegibbons8765]

these trainee processes are brutal!!

[@gwenmloveskpopcecmore]

Also I heard JJ he’s debuting in Pledis I hope he does

[@Anthony_Gx]

You mean their social media ended after December 2022. Not 2023

[@thatminari]

I don’t get why they didn’t debut, they would’ve surely been successful.
