the commentators are from produce 101 season 1 and the debut name is I.O.I, Kim Sohye, Kim Doyeon and Choi Yoojung debuted while Sohee the girl with bangs with the commentators didn't debut but was fairly popular during the show.

To answer your question on manipulation during this season, I’ll try not to spoil the results of the show, but still give you some of the insight. The most traumatized victim of the Mnet manipulation was actually Baekho/Kang Dongho. The show’s main producer mentally manipulated him to the point of having a severe anxiety, which on top of the evil edits (with all that jungle music, ughh) and his father’s passing during the show’s finale really almost threw him off. He received so much hate and even was accused of things he never done. He was supposed to be one of the 11 winners of the show, yet because the PDs twisted his words to their liking he got forced to be eliminated. Even though eventually the elimination turned for the better with NU’EST’s following success, the trauma caused was unimaginable (and mind you, he was barely 23 at that time), and not only that: Mnet had THE AUDACITY to almost force NU’EST to be on Kingdom (they were rumored to be in the lineup for a while), “justifying” the need for appearance by saying “you owe us for your new fame, be on our show and be evil edited again, or we’ll ruin you again”. Although I’m very thankful to become a fan of NU’EST through this show, the amount of shit my precious boys had to go through is too much to handle.

I got so frustrated because I couldn't just tell you that those girls were from I.O.I and not IZ*ONE xD IZ*ONE was the season after this one so they basically didn't exist, yet. I haven't even finished watching but I wanted to get that out of my chest :D anyway so far I'm really enojoying this but I'm kinda sad I'll probably have to wait quite a long time for your Episode 9 reaction of Produce (that's my favorite performance)

Lulia

he also put the confetti around him right at the right time the camera is on him, he's a genius😂

Shia

... in the right upper corner I can see information that I'm watching Dancing High Episode 2 😅

Natalia Kuroś

When Jeff said maybe this season wasn't as manipulative as X1 season I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.... just wait till the finale oh boy

I've been waiting for this! Comments as I watch once again haha - BoA was actually very hands-on in her mentoring with the trainees, what was shown on camera is very little. I believe it also came to light after the show that BoA asked the editors not to show too much of herself because the show wasn't about her but about the trainees, and the trainees did say that BoA gave them tons of very helpful advice behind-the-scenes. Hong Eunki, who won the dance battle, is one of my favourite 'gems' that I discovered from Produce - he's a really great dancer IMO! That little clip of Ju Wontak saying "Ugh! Mnet!" when they're all running towards the training centre has so much meme potential, I have been annoyed for all these years that it's not the default response whenever Mnet does its usual shady sh*t The start of shoulder thug Choi Minki aka Ren from Nu'est!!!! Damn I love his personality For this first round of voting they could pick multiple trainees, and vote every single day - so the total number of votes being very high is a little more understandable

funfact: Jihoon actually practiced his wink prior to the performance and was winking so many times during It's me performance (probably more than 100 times depending on how many times they filmed). That Ending shot was just one of his many winks/tries. He thought he strategically needed something that will make people remember him and he chose wink.

Just wanted to point out that international fans were not actually allowed to vote for this season (at least, not after the first round of voting iirc), though they were allowed to vote during Season 1. The final voting was restricted to Koreans only. But yeah I agree that this season was the most popular, it became an absolutely huge phenomenon especially in Korea so the huge number of votes might not be too far off the mark here.

Layla123

Well this season was the most popular so the votes might be accurate. And it’s not just Koreans who were voting. It was also global. Wanna One remains the most iconic groups from produce. But yes there were sadly some manipulations (although least than the most recent seasons but still) sadly.

for the new commenters.... Jeff now knows about the girls being I.O.I members, and not Iz*one members! Just so you don't spam (is that the right word...??) the messages with "its I.O.I members!" 😁😁😁😁

Nova Amore

On elimination episodes, they usually end it after the next week's previews and show everyone saying goodbye. It's quite heartfelt especially this elimination with Moonbok and Hyunwoo as well as the fact that this is the first elimination. Just thought I would let you know for next time. Loved your reaction!!!

AmandaY.

this and the previous season got the least manipulation (at least, according to the articles) like Seong Hyun Woo shouldn't have gotten eliminated in this round and 1 other person was supposed to make it in wanna one (im not gonna say his name since it can be a spoiler) whereas other seasons got like more than 2 people who got manipulated throughout the show. The number of votes are really high, i can't be sure if it's manipulated or not but I don't think it's reaching too far considering the popularity of the show. it also got higher numbers than PDX that in fact got the numbers manipulated.

I love Justin I'm so happy for him, Nine Percent and NEXT members doing so well nowadays! Chinese trainees/idols always have the best luck and fame when they return to China, just like the Exo members, Cheng Xiao, Jackson, Wang Yibo, even Tony from P101 now on Youth With You.

camille

ahhh i see

seth james

ya totally!

seth james

OHHHHHHH LOLLL omg i completely forgot about i.o.i 😩

seth james

hello! ooo i see. ya i can see why this service would need a lot of care! thank god my girl was great and i’m seeing amazing results so far! i’ve always struggled with uneven pigmentation from acne scarring so it’s definitely something i’ve been looking to get treated!

seth james

Jeff if you ever watch the chinese version called idol producer season 1(with lay from exo as host and jackson as mentor) you’ll see the yuehua trainees there - in fact Justin is one of the most popular!

MD

P101 had one trainee manipulated in this elimination and one in the final episode. Sadly all 4 seasons had manipulation but 48 and X1 were way worse

camille

Hi...friendly neighborhood esthetician here 😂 Vampire facials do include micro needling however micro needling itself is not all a vampire facial includes. It also includes separating you platelets from your blood and rubbing it onto your face to stimulate white blood cells to heal the area ❤️ Some states allow esthetician’s to micro-needle there patients and some states it is completely banned in because people injured others trying to do it 😩

Doyoungismyult

Justin is Chinese and he still goes by Justin now as his stage name. Some Chinese( also other foreign trainees) will just take the Korean pronunciations of the Chinese characters as their name but some will already have a different stage name already that's not korean

camille

The girls are not from IZONE, they are I.O.I from Produce 101 Season 1 before Produce 101 Season 2. IZONE is from Produce 48.

Your speculation on the 3000 votes and manipluted voting was spot on! Its something I remember A LOT of fans speculating around the time when they changed that voting rule. Also I believe it was all seasons that the voting was proven to be manipulated

milky

NOT IZONE!!! THEY ARE FROM IOI!!! THE FRIST SEASON~~~

MinSeo Kim

Samuel backed away real fast when baekho went up because he knew from his experience of being tossed around in pledis playfully that baekho isnt to be messed with 🤣🤣

Maxine Louise

They’re not from IZONE but from IOI which is the Produce 101 season 1 before this season.

slampoets

The girls are not from I*zone, but IOI, that were the girl group formed in the first season of produce. IZONE came after this season and before PDX101

Lola

Jeff I just stopped mid watch to say, those girls weren’t Izone they were I.O.I members. The season that made IZONE happen after this season 😁

Hotrodcobbs
