  1. Okay, I admit I have stereotypes about J-idol because of the otaku reputation. I don’t see the Japanese music industry as full of children because I love the girl bands in JRock and they are composed of women who kick ass.
  2. Yes but the Korean trainees are not put out there so they could be touched — of course there are fan meets but at least not on a constant basis that comes with the stage and the handshake.
  3. I’ll recheck the Cube trainee from S1. I don’t think she was as young as 13 otherwise it would have registered. But I could just be dense and wrong. Still, it bothers me more when you consider a Korean trainee is sheltered by the agency and the show from the general public but the 12-year-old from one of the 48s would be doing the handshake with strangers from the fanbase, a lot of whom are older men, after stage shows? Maybe I speak out of ignorance but that is how I assume the idol otaku culture works.
  4. Are you sure with S1? I remember there was a 15-year-old from Cube. I’m positive there was no 12-year-old. Otherwise it would have exploded across the hangul webspace.
  5. It’s the last full week of the month and still no list of the Korean side. I’m POed enough to start another fight with Kami and the Japanese right wing in this thread!!!
  6. WTH?! She’s a 12-year-old!? This is why I didn’t I get into the 48s until SNH48 and their bevy of K-style visuals. Sorry.
  7. I’m not usually one for the tomboy look (well except for Diamond from SNH48/7Senses when she sports a pageboy) but Sunnee REALLY got my attention! She’s talented, is a natural leader and wowwed me with her big heart. I like her fierce stare at Yamy, I like how her team follow her up to the top of the pyramid during their entrance and scaring the sexy Banana girl sitting on the Queen’s Seat. I love how she had her team surround the Banana girl only to shake her hand. lol I love how she went over to Sunshine when all the other girls were in shock and silent. I love her attempting to do skinship with all the other girls entering after her. I love that she puts her arm around the girl who finally agree to sit next to her. lol Sunnee rocks!
  8. A long-term stage seems impractical — especially for top flight trainees like Minjoo and Ahn Yubin. Woollim and Starship wouldn’t agree to their investments being burnt out by a daily/weekly stage show along with the main group promotionals! The small to med sized Korean agencies participate in these shows for the exposure in the show itself and then the debuting group. Probably escape clauses in their agreements that concentrate their work to concerts and promotions for the group with maybe special appearances in the theater? With a theater, I think they’ll need far more than the 12 or so in the final group. They might need to expand to at least 24 (where we can have two shifts) and maybe 36 if the top 12 is out touring. It just seems a huge expense in time and resources compared to the benefits when you consider it will only be 2 and a half years. A theater, to me, is something that is long term. For someone like Kaeun who’s already debuted and whose agency thinks she has plateaued then a regular stage might be a good thing. BTW, I think Kaeun is sexy and gorgeous and totally my type — a tall dancer who can sing too. Pledis should have given her a chance with Pristin if they were just going to cold storage After School.
  9. Thanks for your perspective. I think you are correct. It seems to me that 3unshine made or were made to present themselves as badly as possible. It is a shame because if they had only tried it would had been a great story. Now it’s just an ugly sideshow.
  10. Wow! Didn’t know that. That is even sadder. I could infer that Tao and the mentors said something like “You are 1931? Aren’t there more of you?†and the girls started bawling. The ones in the stands too.
  11. Thanks for the sub. That was the 1931 group evaluation. I don’t understand Chinese but I could tell from the clips that this group had their own stage and fans at one point. Then there was a clip of their theater being torn down. They were disbanded? All the other girls were crying with the 1931 girls so those words from the mentors were even more poignant under that context. This show is really emotionally raw with the competition, the background stories and really the desperate state of the industry as a whole. And that’s just from episode one. lol
  12. I watched the whole show without subs because I wanted to see the Sunshine girls. They were all over the news internationally as the Asian girl band that “broke the mode†by being plain or “ugly.â€
  13. WTH? First episode? If I recall correctly nobody got eliminated in S1 until show 5 or 6. Did they perform? That sucks. I was hoping they’ll be a feel good story about girls trying as best they can without being born with natural attributes. How exactly did they play the pity card?
  14. Ugly personality. I hope she gets punished hard. I hope Sunshine does well and show off this biatch.
  15. Duly noted. I’ll calm down a lot more once we get more confirmations of the Korean side. On the flipside, there is a whole Japan section and AKB48 threads too, you know. We don’t to make this an 48 thread too.
  16. I prefer to watch both since they are both Korean in concept, design and ownership. @ Haru. I’m not a hater though I admit that weeks of discussion where this thread is 90% AKS had worn on me. I followed JRock for years and love the girl bands there. Came late on Japan48 because of the otaku reputation. And yes, I expect a lot from PD48 when you have seasoned pros from the AKS side and from all the 48 praising here.
  17. I’m posting here because Produce 101 is Korean franchise and this is a Korean thread. Visually, I would say three of the five girls in the Banana clip above have better visuals than Sakura if not all five. You have a point with Minjoo, though. Sorry, but the visuals in PD101 China are long and lean which fits into the Korean standard far better than 90% of the 48 groups. And yes, I do expect a lot from the 48 groups since they are the fvcking professionals here.
  18. PD101 China just opened up. Click here to view the Tweet Click here to view the Tweet Level of visual, dance and vocals (especially) are high. With all those AKS veterans, PD48 better be up to stuff. Because after binging on the China line for a month, I don’t want a fvcking let down when I start into 48.
  19. Sunmi should kick both of them in the ovaries. Racist, sexy biatches.
  20. Didn’t Bella Hadid do the racist slant-eye mocking thing? Sunmi should kick her in the ovaries. IMHO.
  21. She looks like the Nichkhun/BamBam/Ten kind of thai not Sorn/Lisa type. Not saying she looks like a man but saying she looks more Korean than Sorn or Lisa. Click here to view the Tweet
  22. LoL. Yes, I know about the exaggerations and half/arsed translations of Koreaboo and AKPz but sometimes I am too lazy to pull up the Hangul version on ilbe or daum which the majority of the people here can’t read anyways (including me but I have parents, sister and cousins who could!)
