I actually think it's the same for a lot of people in this show. I'm so disappointed at JTBC / YG for doing shit with the screen time (I'm even more disappointed because I was a fan of JTBC's Girls Spirit, which was way less shady than M9). I'm quite late with the episodes (just finished the auditions I guess) because of travelling, but I'm already so upset at how they forget some acts on purpose. I know it's hard (impossible) to get even screen time when you have so much contestants, but why spending 15 minutes on a single trainee without even showing some other acts ? Balance is key for Gods' sake ! Regarding Heeo and Hyejin's situation, I think it's gonna be hard for them. I'm a bit more confident about Heeo going through because she's more ... recognizable and fierce in the mass I guess ? But I really hope they'll both go through ... I mean, they deserve it ! EDIT : Based on the YT videos of the performances' comments, Heeo is definitely more famous then Hyejin in the show ... She's like praised every 2-3 comments, while Hyejin group video is all about lip-syncing and not being appropriate for a competition because it's Twice ... and the only member shining being BonusBaby Monnhee ...

Imo, they just have to pass the first cut, and maybe they'll find some opportunities to shine more. I keep being optimistic, like if there are less acts to promote (eliminations), there might actually be more chances for them to be broadcasted and highlighted for their talents. In terms of promotions, they are not in the bottom part imo, and they are way luckier than some acts like Matilda's Saebyeol, who literally has been robbed of promotion time since the beginning of the show (she even sang as main vocal even though she's a rapper/dancer, and KBS didn't even think it was interesting to talk about it). Overall, even though KBS kinda sucks with Brave Girls' broadcast time, I think it could be worse ... I'm so happy they didn't participate to Mix Nine instead, which is like WAAAAAY worse in terms of bad promotion for "failed" idols x)

Chaea is not out of the group ! Damn what a good news Apparently she’s resting because of knee pain, which she already suffered from once (she couldn’t perform at a festival, but went on stage to cheer the audience afterwards. It was like 3-4 months ago I think). She’s resting to be able to perform in the Music Show Simply Kpop. What a relief <3 !

Girls had a live on AfreecaTV this afternoon, but no Chaea again ... I hope she’s fine !

Inkigayo Performance ! Best outfits imo

Girls had a performance tonight at Migliore Festival ... https://youtu.be/mxDTGQ4HHRg https://youtu.be/nODxWlhHbgQ Chaea didn’t perform ... I hope she’s only having some parallel schedule, I can’t face 2 members loss in 4 days. Let’s wait and see, but it would be weird to upload a dance practice + a new album cover with her, and then drop her the day after. Wait and see as they say !

[bREAKING] THE GIRLS WILL PERFORM IN A MUSIC SHOW ! They are set to perform in the next broadcast of Arirang’s Simply Kpop ! https://www.facebook.com/pocketgirls/photos/a.1016799031672123.1073741829.1011478288870864/1825432037475481/?type=3 Ok, it’s not a big music show, but it’s still a further step from nothing actually <3 Can’t wait ! The recording is scheduled on Monday the 4th at 9.40 am : http://www.arirang.com/Tv2/TV_Announce.asp?PROG_CODE=TVCR0636&MENU_CODE=102573&anno_idx=1636&code=Be3 I think the broadcast will occur the 14th or 15th, since I think the show airs every 2 weeks (?).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5qAxTd6KYU Music Bank today's performance ! So glad they didn't use any (barely ?) backing vocals so we can really see their vocal color. Great performance

According to fan pages, which asked her directly on IG, the correct romanized way to say her name is “Selynâ€. She said she would inform the social media staff to correct it and refer to her as Selyn (which is more international I guess) than Seryn.

I think it’s easier for them to drop out because they are models / racing models under Miss Dica. I don’t think they sign a contract for being in the group, or at least their contract might be less strict than regular singers because they are not considered real idols, but models.

I’m ok with the ban thing for Bbang Bbang because of the jacket removal and the dance, but I think Oppa is Trash could easily become broadcast friendly. They should just put some longer shirts, leggings and maybe use the MV choreo, which is not that much of a deal if they are motivated.

I wish ! Maybe we should ask their manager on IG directly. To be honest, I thought they decreased the MV budget to have more income for the promotions ...

Apparently, they redesigned the album cover to match the new line up : https://instagram.com/p/BcGHaYVnDpi/ Hope they’ll return to promotion soon now that the team is complete again.

That, and her talent + visuals as well ^^

Nope. Yeonji (main vocal) is still in the group, surviving all the members changes ;)

Ok, it’s kinda official now that Miss Dica posted the new group picture on IG ... https://instagram.com/p/BcF5bFCHrS-/ https://instagram.com/p/BcF5uxqHK3K/ https://instagram.com/p/BcF6EQ8nG-x/ Gorgeous pics actually ! <3

Or maybe graduating from Miss Dica, since they all used to be models and stuff ? Which doesn’t make sense either actually x)

Found this account, maybe it’s her new one ... ? http://instagram.com/minchae1294 Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant OneHallyu

The whole graduating thing sounds weird to me. I mean, if they knew Minchae was supposed to graduate in November, why did they make a MV and a song with her a month ago, knowing that she couldn’t finish the promotions properly. (Actually, where are the promotions now ?) Also, if they are really using the graduation system, shouldn’t Yeonji already been done with them ? I really don’t understand their system.

Thanks for sharing all the infos ! I'll try to update the OP completely today, but I'm on my way to catch a flight. Anyway, I'll make to do it on time and credit you for the translation Edit : done

I edited the OP with the Instagram page of Seolwha, which I found this morning. She's a major in Ballet dancing, so we might have found our main dancer here. Plus, she's actually used to beauty pageants ... true visual queen <3 https://instagram.com/p/BPdBoIJh1tS/

Yeah, I saw that too. Minchae has removed Pocket Girls from her IG bio, so it might mean a departure, and also explain why the girls have remain silent for the past 2 weeks, maybe teaching Selyn the new positions before coming back to perform (that's what I hope actually). I actually spotted Selyn on IG a while ago, she was already kinda training with them, wearing their performance outfit for at least 3 months. Here is her Instagram if interested : https://www.instagram.com/2__luv__0/ BTW, here is the dance practice performance with Selyn. She seems to be pretty decent at dancing, but we still have no clue about her voice, or if she can rap also. Oh, and she seems taller than Yeonji, who's already 170cm tall. I think Selyn might be 175cm tall or something like that.

Do we already know how many idols will be eliminated from the first round ?

Far left girl is Brave Girl's Yujeong, cutest smile and cheeks in the industry <3

https://youtu.be/Rb7FQGTLRxY White team performance on Music Bank is up ! I’m a bit salty at how poor Yujeong’s screentime is in the whole performance. On the positive side, she’s the only one (except for the center girl I can’t remember the name of) to have had a solo shot at the ending pose. May it help help rise a bit in the rankings list :/
