Oh boy I remember when the documentary was released everyone and their mother had an opinion about the Manon thing. Some honestly felt like the girls we’re being racist towards Manon and we’re jealous that a black girl was more popular than them (which can definitely happen but i’m not saying that’s what specifically happened here ofc). Others felt like It was almost bullying bcs It almost seemed like none of the girls liked her and we’re ostracizing her (the therapy session without her where they all talk behind her back didn’t help). Some we’re saying Adéla was just frustrated because she felt like Manon wasn’t up there talent wise unlike her and the other girls but It didn’t helped that ppl noticed how a lot of the eliminated contestants commented on every girls Instagram but Manon. One of the eliminated contestants even said another group member would have to « represent » the black girls even tho well… Manon is black and the other girl isnt. Now it does seem like the katseye members are very close and have moved pass this Time but Yeah veryyyyy messy and I honestly think the ones to blame we’re hybe greffen bcs they were the ones who messed with the girls confidence and mental health.

2025-01-27 02:47:28 +0000 UTCHi ! So to really give you a clear time line of how things happened: In the end of 2023 "The Dream Academy", the survival show happened. I watched (and voted) when it did, but it didn't got a lot of attention at this time. They were releasing each week the missions, and some behind the scenes of the training + the feedback and the eliminations in different videos. The line-up was decided during the live finale in november 2023. Then Katseye debuted in June of 2024 with "Debut" as a pre-release, then "Touch" and later in august their first EP "SIS". The Netflix documentary was released at the same moment, so august 2024. So when we were voting we didn't have all the informations from the documentary, but we still had some behind the scenes. For Manon for example they actually talked about it (her missing rehearsals) during one of them, the one for the next mission in Korea, so we didn't know for the first vote but after that we were aware of some of it. I remember because it was kinda controversial already at this time, and it was talked a lot about with people following the show. Anyways, as always I really enjoyed your video so thank you and have an amazing day ! :D

2025-01-26 08:53:35 +0000 UTCI think a lot of people have followed the webtoon so I’m keeping my fingers crossed more people would be interested 🤞🏻

2025-01-26 07:45:50 +0000 UTCThe thing about Manon is the when she got into dream academy she didn’t know the kind of life K-pop idols live through and all the rigorous training idols have to go through to debut. She thought of it like it was like school and she could skip days if she didn’t feel well or if she was sore from all the training. But as the competition kept going she realized that her missing classes was a no no and that’s why she’s in the group.

2025-01-26 07:06:35 +0000 UTCAaaah I don’t know where to comment (but I enjoy watching this for the first time with you tooo) but if you’re writing down a list of dramas to consider watching please put in “Study Group”!! It’s similar to Weak Hero Class 1 but it’s got more of a comedic flair and Hwang Minhyun is the lead 🤤 plus Matthew and Gunwook sang the OST! Only 2 episodes so far but I’ve been enjoying it so much.

2025-01-26 06:15:58 +0000 UTCexactly they didn’t originally consent to being speculated by world the as trainees, they consented to that if they debuted

2025-01-26 05:30:17 +0000 UTCthere’s definitely something off about it because some of these girls would’ve probably not participated if they knew about the survival show part. like there’s a difference between getting feedback from professionals and execs vs. all of the world.

2025-01-26 05:29:40 +0000 UTCoh damnn. i’m guessing this gets solved later on if the girls are ok now 🫢
seth james
2025-01-26 05:27:18 +0000 UTCohh the rankings changed
seth james
2025-01-26 05:26:12 +0000 UTCManon vocal ranking is 19th plus her dance rank made her last place overall. Iliya is 7th in vocal plus her dance made her lower rank. The top 3 for vocal are nayoung-Sophia-Lara

2025-01-26 05:15:32 +0000 UTCBoy, Manon was very controversial in this docu. LOL. This was aired way way after the survival show, i think after their debut , if i'm not mistaken. This show, i think introduced the group to a wider audience and this Manon thing was really the talk of the town. It was chaos. I read somewhere that the girls were the first to watch this first before airing, so they know about the drama, and it was not a big deal anymore coz it was already history when the docu show aired.

2025-01-26 04:14:11 +0000 UTCi still find it unethical that they lied to the girls about the survival show like it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth
imani

2025-01-26 03:34:50 +0000 UTCspeaking of Adela, she released song called 'superscar' with an mv and honestly it's everything. Song slaps and her performance in that mv is truly incredible.
