2024-12-13 20:46:05 +0000 UTCHi Jeff, I don't know what survival show are you planning to do next ( i might have missed it) but I highly suggest universe league. There's a Filipino contestant.

2024-12-04 17:42:53 +0000 UTCIf you like babyzoo, then you will love izna, he is their choreographer. Also, there is a confirmed news that h1ghr music, a company owned by cj enm, that also owns wakeone, is making a girl group with iland 2 contestants, just like evnne, and since all of the girls were signed under wakeone for the show, they just transferred companies. And although no nomes are confirmed, the stronger names rumored, based on who didnt open instagram accounts and were seen together after the show, are: fuko, yeeun, juwon, minsol and chaeeun, but recently gyuri deleted all her photos on instagram, so she might be in there too. And sujung already said that she is not going to pursue idol life and will stick to dance, that it is what she truly loves. And in the producing aspect, it seems that black label is in charge of the creative direction, while wakeone will only do management and provide training spaces, so izna is basically a black label group, just like meovv.

2024-11-21 11:12:31 +0000 UTCdefinitely please react to the MAMA stage first since it will most likely be songs you've seen them perform before

2024-11-21 01:54:02 +0000 UTCNatasha I 100% agree with you, well said.. also I feel like she would thrive in SM (red velvet vibe)

2024-11-21 01:39:58 +0000 UTCI agree with you on Mai, she was such a champ with how she handled herself throughout the show. Never backing down, never bringing the group down cuz she wasn't feeling like practicing because she didn't like her part. I really commend her on that cuz that's very hard to do, since they are young girls with boulders of stress on their back. The stress of showing what you can do best and not having the chance to do so is really tough. She always had a great attitude and never complained just did her best with what she was given. She was a great leader when they had to come up with the choreography, putting so much effort and wit in that performance and they slayed. She deserves her spot in the final lineup for multiple reasons, but her mindset is undeniably one of them.

2024-11-21 00:24:32 +0000 UTCYeey I'm so happy with the final lineup. I think its perfect, these girls will rock together. Also wanted to say Teddy is not a producer for Babymonster, but he is for Meovv. Babymonster songs are mainly produced by Choice37 and his team. I love Teddys songs and I feel like he will provide these girls with some bangers!!

2024-11-20 21:38:19 +0000 UTCI get that you we're disappointed she didn't debut but it kind of sounds like you're wishing ill on Izna, it's not the girl's fault she didn't make it.

2024-11-20 21:22:59 +0000 UTCFirst and foremost, I saw you on "The Five Year Christmas Pary" Congratulations to you! You were amazing and I was so impressed by your acting! Keep up the great work and I hope you get a lot more opportunities in the future. I have been waiting for you to see the finale and that they changed to 7. I am glad that they are debuting 7 instead of 6. I think an odd number is better and there seems to be a curse with 6 member groups. I watched this live and I think a lot of people were surprised that the producers picked Mai over Saebi. The online chat was crazy and people seemed genuinely shocked at the time. A lot of people thought Mai and Fuko should have been switched but, I get why they chose Mai and not Fuko. But, I am so happy that Jeemin, Koko and Saebi were reunited and that they all made it. I think the group of girls are really talented and will make a great group.

2024-11-20 21:20:44 +0000 UTCI love this group!!! You should see them now, they already performed at KCON Germany! They were so gorgeous and have amazing stage presence.

2024-11-20 19:57:55 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed the finale! I'm glad mnet decide to have the MCs to have more fun. Always loved when Hanbin gets to interact with other idols since they always have great chemistries. Can't wait for Hanbin in MAMA and AAA with other pretty girls! The moment they announced izna gonna have 6 members I was actually 90% confident that it's going to be a 7-member group. Surprising all 7 of my picks debuted just like iland 1 for enhypen. And yes at the very end mnet showed the votes for every contestants and all 7 izna members are actually the top 7 ones in terms of votes. I am sad for Fuko but her one pick is unfortunately very weak. Correct me if I am wrong, I heard the news that mnet announced they will have the eliminated girls to form another group? Also, you were talking about who's going to be the center for this group and think Jungeun would be for her ranking but I think Jeff you forgot that this is a permanent group. Center position is only emphasized for temporary survival show groups, although permanent groups usually do have unofficial 'center', izna is not going to be all about ranks just like how enhypen said to forget about ranks post iland.

2024-11-20 15:55:05 +0000 UTCI saw them live at kcon recently and they were amazing as a group and they had already improved so much I’m soo excited for the debut

2024-11-20 15:37:15 +0000 UTCSince she was like the K of the group, i need her to pull a K and be in a group with better discography.

2024-11-20 15:29:06 +0000 UTCI think fuko will be just good doing Black Label's style. We just weren't able to see what else she can do because the producers keep putting her in concepts she's already familiar with. I didn't count the last part's performance since it was just a line.
NAME
2024-11-20 15:28:35 +0000 UTCErasing fuko from part 2 is not enough for the producers, they had to call her as one of the candidates knowing well enough they're gonna pick 2 out of 3 candidates. Calling saebi after mai would have been more dramatic if they only call 2 candidates but they say no, let's add layers to fuko's trauma. I feel so effin bad for her, she deserved better.
NAME
2024-11-20 15:26:19 +0000 UTCHi ! So, that finale was just a rollercoaster of emotions, I watched it live and yeah.. By the way I want to mention Somi and how much she's an amazing host, she was really great with her out of the script comments that made everyone more comfortable, and added some humor. (And I ust love Hanbin, so I'm glad she seemed to make him more comfortable with what coulb a pretty stressful experience for him) Now, onto the line-up, for me the ones I absolutely wanted in it were Jungeun and Saebi, then my third pick was actually Mai. I actually agree with Taeyang about the fact that the mindset/attitude is really important. I'm not saying that the other girls didn't have a good attitude (I mean Fuko and Yuju already went on other survival and kept training and trying again and again). But Mai just never had the songs/parts she wanted, not once (except maybe the finale), and always small parts. But not only she did great with the performances and always found a way to stand out, she also never complained or lost her very positive mindset. Like skills can be learned, both singing and dancing and she already has the basics, that's not like she was really bad or unable to sing/dance at all. But to improve you need the will to work really hard. And she has that, and yes she also has the visuals and the "aura". I don't doubt it was one of the principal motivation behind her being picked but I really think she can surprise a lot of people. Now Fuko, her issue is one we have seen many times sadly in survival show and that's why I will never agree with the one-pick type of voting for the finale. Basically, she was part of everyone's line-up but rarely the one-pick of people. I think she ranked eight in the finale, so yeah her one-pick power was just not that strong. Also many fans of her seemed to think she was safe and would be a producer pick anyway. And no, just no, it was obvious Mnet was not really rooting for her in part 2 so counting on the producers was a big mistake. And she knew it I think, that's why she really started to break down when the final members from fan vote were anounced. Now I just really hope she will be able to debut in a good group, she deserves it so much (and I agree with you, an 8 members group would have been perfect) About izna now, the fact that they are under WakeOne makes me worried, not going to lie. I hope they will try harder with really building an identity to the group and coming with great music considering that they are a permanent group but I'm still worried. We'll see. Also worried by the fact that Teddy is the one in charge of their music. I'm not the biggest fan of his work, and afraid about the fact that he is indeed working on the discography for two girl groups debuting around the same time. No, it's not Babymonster, he doesn't handle the music for them and have not been credited for most if not all of BM's music. But he debuted Meovv recently under Theblacklabel so... Once again waiting to see izna's debut, but really rooting for them to do well anyways ! Thank you for your reactions to the show, I enjoyed it so much as usual with your videos (and I really love your survival shows reactions, so much fun!)

2024-11-20 09:23:30 +0000 UTCas a saebi one pick, i literally stopped watching after they announced the 6th member 😭 it was a roller coaster. when you mentioned matthew when saebi got picked it made me sa happy 😭 saebi and matthew are like my performance geniuses.
howltthew
2024-11-20 09:05:50 +0000 UTCI love this line up. In the votes Mai is 7th and Saebi 6th so everyone who debuted was like kinda the first 7. I'm proud of Mai

2024-11-20 07:07:20 +0000 UTCAlthough I love Fuko, I feel like in the producer's eyes, Fuko is behind Jungeun and Jiyoon in vocal aspect, but also was not capable to be the group's rapper. That's why, Teddy was trying to see if Fuko was a good match being a rapper during Fake It and saw it as a "last test". Hence the minute Fuko's part was switched to Jungeun, my hope for Fuko immediately kinda dropped. A lot of people have been saying that Fuko might not fit The Black Label's style (which I also kinda agree). Hopefully she can debut soon with a group that suits her style more tho.
