I don't how you can all decide for Eunsoo that she should pursue acting instead of being an idol.
If she wanted to be an actress only, she could have just stopped training as an idol. The fact that she is still training is proof enough that being an idol is what she wants. Idol careers are short-lived, she can still be an actress afterwards, I don't see a problem with it.
Sieun also started as an actress and decided to sign with JYP so she could try her chances at being an idol, because she wants to sing and dance on stage...I also don't understand the "we haven't seen Lily dance so her spot in the group isn't safe"... Everyone was on the Yejin train without having seen her dance...? (I'm talking about pre-showcase airing) There are a lot of trainees we like for other reasons than their dancing. If Lily can keep up with a choreo, that's enough. Main vocals can't be main dancers, how would they control their breathing? Also if you have doubt about her star power, just look at some Kpop Star performances... She doesn't lack any...
Seriously, can we stop dragging the trainees we don't want in the lineup...? They'll have enough haters without us giving them reasons to hate them

I personally always get back to 8 members... I think it would be nice to go for a sub-unit kind of group as well, giving more room for other activities (like acting or solo stuff when one unit only is promoting), so my ideal lineup rn has Somi, Rhujin, Chaeryeong and Yeji (as the dance sub-unit, who could release some more dance heavy songs when together) and Jisu, Lily, Haewon and Eunsoo (as the vocal sub-unit for vocal slayage songs)

Together as 8, I think it would be an interesting mix, maybe not as dance oriented as some people hope, but definitely with the ability to bring out their own unique color.
Shame because I think Jia Yu/Yuna S would be interesting as well, and I really love Mako, but I have to make the cut somewhere :/

.... Not here to backtrack through that mess really...
Tbh, I don't think Mix9 or the Unit took some of the talent pool. PD48 has a 2.5 years contract going on at the end of the show, I think that's the very reason we have so many young contestants on Korean side. Companies basically sent their young trainees they have no plan of debuting in the next 2 years ish. So either they make the final lineup and no risk taken in their own debuting schedule, or the girls don't make it and will still have earned a very valuable experience and a fan following.You've made some very good points. The Unit and Mix 9 did take away a lot of the talent pool. Imagine Lucky from Good Day on Produce48. Her visuals and dancing would make her a real contender to be in the final group. She has the visuals of a center and the very nice dancing ability. Also BBC sent out Hyunjin and Heejin to Mix 9, which sucked so bad. Those two would've had center potential for Produce48, and Heejin has the vocals and dancing skills to be an ace type idol on the show. (Although the timing of P48 and Loona's official debut could've interfered with each other so maybe BBC never lets them join in the first place). would've been interesting to see Chuu on P48 though. She wouldve gained so many fans with her cuteness and vocal talent
PD48 also went back to the original concept of the show for the Korean side, which is centered around trainees. I think there is only Kaeun and Gyuri who have actually debuted? The Unit was for debuted idols who never became popular and Mixnine had a lot of rookies participating or debut-ready trainees since the contract was short (until YHS decided he wanted to make it longer so companies would reject the idea and he could get out of debuting the winner since the show flopped badly).
I don't think Blockberry would have sent Loona members. But I love that Go Yujin is there, she shot up in the top spot of my favorite list. I wonder if Blockberry would go out of their way and add her to Loona if she gets really popular (like Yeonjung was added to WJSN) or if she'll end up solo (like Chungha)/leader of the next group (like G-Idle Soyeon and probably Somi).

i wonder if we'll have to wait til Suhyun gets eliminated on pd48 to see them debut
or the group will debut without Suhyun first
i'm getting bored of waiting

Meanwhile I'm still waiting for that unit debut... Actually even just a song release to support the football team would mad esuper happy (and that considering I always find those releases boring even when done by my favorite groups ^^')
It's still the only plausible reason to me as to why the most popular girls (except Sujin) stopped appearing in the pictures on SNS. If it's not the reason, Fave would be disappointing, a lot...
-
It's bothering me that a lot of the posts in this thread are backhandedly insulting or downplaying Somi's skills. We're not even sure who's in or not, and the debut isnt even confirmed yet. But I've seen posts that are pretending to like her but basically just say that Somi's only positive trait is just popularity and she's only relevant to international fans.
Not to downplay it, but I have seen posts putting down about every potential member ^^' Nose jobs, not enough idol personality, not enough rapping skills, not pretty enough... I also wish people would avoid it, but until the lineup is set, there will be people defending their bias' spot by downplaying the rivals' skill. Would be better to show your bias' skill rather than downplay the other one imo... ^^'
Somi being a lot more popular than the rest and controversial (not gonna go back on that, she is just the kind of idol you either love or hate, there isn't much in between from what I can see), there is people in the thread bound to not love her. But if there is one member that is 100% sure at this point, it really is her, people have to live with it or stop following the thread/group...

If they replaced Yujin so fast, they must really want their big group...
Now I'm kinda worried, I hope the girls we don't see often, other than Soomin/Soyeon, don't leave... Bowon, Haerin, I hope you stay!!
Also not surprised about the rumor that Suhyun needs to do well on PD48 to make the lineup... Definitely my feeling as to why she was the only one participating...
And Yerim just fell completely into oblivion...

3 girls from the Seoul audition made it. That's all we know... Jisu and Haewon could be them, I didn't check exactly, but I feel the timing could match?There was an audition sometime last year for new girls. I can't exactly remember word for word what the details where but I think it was stated that those who passed may have a chance to basically compete for a spot in the next gg. But I don't think I've heard much since that ended.
-
Uh well weki meki company might break up selfish and long shot what if the 2 ioi girl join this group.
Nope... Though if JYP goes for the tall classy kind, Doyeon/Lucy would be a nice additions, we have enough trainees as it is ^^'

Please read mine comment clear before commenting I’ve said hat they could go with a mix concept of MAMAMOO Miss A etc Thank you.
Lol and now I’m asking myself where you were during the start of cheer up promotions??? The J-line became extremely popular or of nowhere and it was AFTER the scandal of Tzuyu and At that time Korean Netizens were claiming Nayeon had attitude problems. Sana became the Trendiest female artist thanks to her shy shy shy, and People were awe of Mina Visuals, not to forget hat Momo became extremely popular thanks to her dancing and Niko niko nii impression. People even made this Sentence “No Sana no lifeâ€.
And let’s talk upon Somi issue, as much as I love this girl, Somi could have won. Easily since she has a Big international fan base and international people could vote too so Somi could take the 1 place easily. If that wasn’t the case then Sejeong would have won and Somi would have ended as second and third, I am not criticising Somi since I love her and always defended her but nobody can’t say this isn’t true.
If there will be a trainee who will become extremely popular then that trainee could take the spot easy. I mean Choa has always been the face of the group of AOA but thanks to Seohyung commercial it was changed to seohyun. That’s how it works and it can take that for these members.
Ok facts: "No Sana no life" exists since Sixteen, it did not come out of nowhere during Cheer Up Era. Not sure if fans or Sana started it, but both used it so much, no wonder it became well known when Sana's popularity exploded with Shy Shy Shy.
And no, Somi's international fanbase is important, but so is Sejeong's. It's not international votes that made Somi win, it's all votes. Somi was the "10th" in Sixteen, the girl everyone expected to make it but ended up not making Twice's lineup. She came into PD101 with that fandom behind her, and it was not made only of ifans.

I don’t think being centre is really a thing, it was sort of created by pd101. I can’t think of any groups who have a main centre (apart from DIA) it’s usually decided by who fits the concept most.
It depends on groups and company really... For SNSD Yoona has always been center, it's not necessarily about performances, but even looking at group pictures, she almost always stands in the center/front. In SuJu Siwon had that role... While f(x) had 5 member, you'd never find Luna or Amber in the center, if was always Sulli/Krystal/Victoria...
PD101 made it more popular and obvious, but it existed before that. SM uses the center position to create the unfamous "cheerleader effect", where the one in the center is the visual that gives the illusion everyone else in the group is a visual...

They're both so pretty! With the other girls, Music Work really has a solid lineup here, I hope they don't mess up^^'

Eunha is ì€í•˜ in Korean, different name.
Euna grew up in the US, so she writes her name differently than the usual spelling, I guess she just doesn't follow the traditional romanization, but the english pronounciation is the same.
Btw in hangeul, Yoona/Yuna is usually written 윤아 while Euna's spelling is ìœ ë‚˜, it's pronounced the same though, another cute difference^^

Loo i created a thread for Suhyun. The link is a few posts above
Added^^ I need to add Gaeun too but that will have to wait a bit ^^'

they never had a fixed lineup to begin with tho
soomin, soyeon, ranyoung, haerin, sujin, jiyoon, soeun at first
there was a gyuri in one update (and yujin made her first appearance), suhyun and bowon were revealed 1 month after they joined the agency
minseo and haeun were "revealed" thanks to their water bottles, yerim suddenly appeared in an update
haeun left the agency, yerim stopped appearing in the updates after mixnine
and more recently we had a bunch of new trainees in their monthly evaluation update, and today we got gaeun
i'm actually starting to believe the girls they don't promote will debut soon (so soyeon/soomin/bowon, maybe haerin and yujin if they're still there, and other girls i guess)
they have over 20 female trainees, theyre probably going to surprise us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I feel like they had a plan but not finalized yet; especially for the lineup, so they decided to do a popularity test with Mixnine (Why Mixnine out of all possible shows...) and introduced more girls than they had originally planned. The girls they expected would do well didn't, and unexpected results came out (Bowon doing better than Haerin/Soeun/Jiyoon, or Yujin and Soyeon not even being selected... Soeun's rank being very low...)
Looks like they are rethinking their whole strategy and lineup now, but it's very frustrating for people looking from the outside... Mixnine is definitely not the show they should have used for a popularity test and the result shouldn't be taken that seriously, imo.
+ The longer they take now to debut the girls, the more their popularity will fade, not that Mixnine brought them that much to being with, but Sujin definitely got some attention, so did Bowon. With Soyeon, Soomin, Bowon and Sujin, you have a core lineup that is solid enough to attract media and fans, Haerin is definitely a safe pick as well, all things considered. Then they can just add anyone, up to 4-5 girls, and they'd still have an amazing lineup, they'll catch up in popularity with the right opportunities.

I guess you never really took an interest for Lily's story to write that^^'Also you should to consider the possibility that Lily's parents may not want her to debut at such a young age.
Lily's parents support their daughter 300% when she wants something. She wanted to act? They helped her get her first role by going to auditions with her.
She wanted to sing: her dad bought a whole van and learned basic sound engineering to help tour with her. Then they let her join Kpop Star as one of the youngest contestants.
It's really not Lily's parents standing in the way, it's either JYPE or Lily herself...

Does anyone know how the Korean public is taking to the new group photos / idea of this OT5? What do they think of Jisu? Are there comments about Lily M and Eunsoo or not so much? Any details at all!
I personally want Lily M + an actress to be added and can see I'm in the majority here in this thread. But while I value all the opinions here and know JYPE wants a solid i-fanbase, they will ultimately cater to the domestic public opinion. If the company is still even thinking the addition of two more members through their own pick or a public voting system, SK fans will have the most influence (if any) so I'm really curious to know what they're thinking!
Idk for the general public, but DC had been warming up a lot to Haewon, who is considered the prettiest main vocal among the 3 stronger vocalists (so Haewon, Lily and Jisu). So I saw a lot more posts about wanting Yuna and Haewon, some about Lily, but Eunsoo not so much?
I've seen negative comments about Jisu as well and I've seen posts happy about the lineup as it is and to just debut these 5.
The page has been moving very fast (in adding and mods deleting), it's hard to give a general opinion, it just seems pretty divided, similar to us really... Generally speaking, a lot of people on DC seem to want visuals first and foremost, that's usually why some girls are loved immediately, while others only get a lukewarm response there.

Rise was full Korean though... A idk what generation Korean who lived in Japan, but full Korean nonetheless.If neither of them make this group** we’re still unsure about the possibility of ot5 being the final lineup (although it looks as though it’s most likely going to be) then who knows what will happen. personally, i want all the girls kids to debut together and for none to leave, but that’s asking for a lot so we have no idea who’ll stay and who’ll go. Also, yes she is half japanese and half korean like Rise from Ladies’ Code.

*****************
These were posted a while back but where completely burried, links to help you understand your bias rank among the girls:
All girls - Only Japanese girls - Only Korean girls (with foreign trainees)
My advice when using those is to avoid the "draw" button, you'll get a clearer picture not using it.

Woow ,the last time I was here, the thread was on page 335 ... how fast it's moving, how to keep up....


Just for curiosity, was it like this in others seasons?
This is nothing, we're only pre-show, wait until it starts airing xD
-
my question is tho, why did only 5 trainees go if theres gonna be a sixteen 2 / a bigger group. (for the people saying its not ot5)
cuz i doubt jyp would let 5 trainees go to a twice concert and leave the other jyp trainees back at JYPE. it doesnt seem like him.
and i think every trainee ever would love to go to a twice concert so its not like they chose not to go.
i think its ot5 tbth, or this is a publicity stunt for a bigger group. because if sixteen 2 was happening the 3 unknown trainees (including chaeryoung) would now have a big advantage.
Somi, Rhujin, Yeji, Chaeryeong and Jisu went on Day 2.
Other trainees were spotted at the Day 1 concert (no pictures though...)
But it would have definitely been more confusing if they had all gone together, would have made me lean more toward a survival show where all girls are treated equally. The fact that a lot of girls went but in 2 groups, and one group was photographed while the other went "through the back door" on a different day definitely says a lot...
I wonder if Lily/Eunsoo/Sieun and the last ones that were not spotted yet will go today, iirc the concert takes place 3 days in a row in Seoul.

I see it. Day6 were spotted for the first time OT6 at a 2PM concert and after that. 6MIX were spotted together a looot. Stray Kids full lineup were spotted together a lot before even the show was announced. Considering this is the first time we’ve seen Somi, the ultimate shoe-in for the group, with other trainees, and those trainees happen to be JYPE’s favourites, it seems legit.
I don't follow boy groups so I can't say much for them, but 6mix appearances together were mostly stolen (with the exception of the catwalk at the Seoul fashion week, but Minyoung wasn't with them when they did that). Fantaken pictures sneakily in front of JYPE (btw, if you wonder, this is actually not allowed, fans are asked to not share what they see at JYPE building, it's mostly ifans who ignore the rule), or stolen from the girls' SNS (pretty much the reason why the girls are not allowed to have it, the infamous 6 girls video when Sana replaced Cecilia made Lena extremely mad, back in the days...)
OT5's appearance at Twice's concert feels like an official outing. I wouldn't have been surprised if cameras had been around filming them for the debut documentary/Sixteen introduction. The girls are with a manager, nobody is trying to hide her face with a mask or a hat, they freely let everyone around take pictures and videos, not even running away or rushing through... This was totally a PR move, the question is: for what?
I have a feeling they might have been testing the reactions and are closely monitoring what fans are saying right now.

Eehm? Having chubby cheeks like Sohee =/= being chubby.They remind me of wonder girls. All medium pretty with none standing out and a chubby maknae
The maknae in this lineup is Chaeryeong btw, I don't see how she is chubby...
Also if you want to low key shade the girls, let's not do it in their own thread...

Okay, you need to stop talking about Jisu like that right now... You don't know whether she got a nose job or not, or any other plastic surgery, and the bully rumor is something I have only heard from you. A whole lot of trainees have had bully rumors, unfounded, never hurt them. If a random "fan" who doesn't want her in the lineup makes a rumor up, you shouldn't be spreading it... This is ruining someone's reputation and is a punishable offence. Let the poor girl live, she is only a trainee in a big 3 agency and doesn't deserve any slander because she might be taking your fave's spot...
