Agreed, I really like this !!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Pledis and Mnet have some bad blood together at one point? Like I remember hearing that Pledis boycotted them for a while because of After School and it would seem that they've moved passed that, but I still don't think that they're on good enough terms for Pledis to influence Mnet in any way. Not to mention, it's not like the girls have had screentime handed over to them - they're working for every minute they can get through their great reactions, stunning visuals, or straight up talent. If anything, Pledis has tried to push attention to the singers of the group through the Nu'est cover and Eunwoo's collab with Vernon, which is just them actually managing their artist well for once... I am surprised by the amount of attention Nayoung got. She was so non-existent at the beginning of the show and I thought her cold exterior was just going to be a one off reaction shot. I'm majorly happy that that's not the case ♥ I just really, really hope that we can get two girls into the Top 11 to promote themselves and the future group ♥ ♥ ♥

You do not even know how happy I am that Nayoung, Pinky, and Eunwoo all made it to the Top 22 ♥ They're the three Pledis girls that I've fallen the hardest for, although their screentime probably plays a big part in that... Sad to say that I made the tough decision not to use any of my votes for Eunwoo TT TT It's already going to be hard enough to try and get both Nayoung and Pinky in the final lineup, and next to impossible to get all three. However, thank you to any of you that are voting for her!! I'm sure that she appreciates the support ♥ If it's not too much to ask though, would you mind sparing a vote for either Nayoung or Pinky as well? Thanks!

Please save Pinky ♥

I can’t believe the personal taste of some of yall… How are you going to sit here and act like the varsity looking jackets that the 24 hour girls are wearing are the most tragic of all. Like, HELLO?!? The In the Same Place’s outfits look like one of the grain sack dresses my Nana wore doing the Depression. Don’t even get me started on Yum Yum. They literally look like a pep-rally over budgeted and had to make do with whatever they could find in the school’s lost and found. Granted, the 24 hours team does look like a frat boys fantasy of a lesbian softball team, but I still prefer it to the mess above. Honestly, none of the song snippets piqued my interest. I'm a little disappointed. Hopefully the full performances will make up for it. (Why did my two favorite little kids insist on going to the team with the song about oral sex? Kids you're making this voting awkward... It's the Yeri ICC situation all over again for me.)

Would anyone be so kind as to help translate? I would love to leave a message on Siwon's Insta, after that elimination I feel she needs a pep talk, but sadly I don't know any Korean. I would really, really appreciate it! And would be willing to give you what little wons I have!!! Thank you Kang Siwon, fighting ♡ 

Reading through all these posts... It is so surprising how perception can affect people so differently... Not gonna lie, I'm side eyeing a few of you though...

Just reiterating, Pledis CAN’T HANDLE two rookie groups this close together. The girls are ready, Pledis is not. The girls will be the ones shafted between the two. This has been a PSA.

I'm the opposite actually. Pledis just debuted Seventeen not even a year ago, they still have too much on their plate with them to successfully manage these girls as well. Look at what happened with the whole Nu'est and Hello Venus situation when they tried to push two rookie groups out too quickly. I don't want that to happen with these girls too. Them debuting sometime mid-2017 would be best, I think. In the meantime though, let them still see the light of day!!

Oh, no, I don’t want sexy at all! At least not yet, maybe in a few years. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I wish they could have a “Sorry that we’re no sorry for breaking your hearts~†debut rather than a “I could be your girlfriend, maybe?†one. Like I want confident and cool over cute and quirky. But I also feel like they could read that wrong and take it to be sexy, which would be… I do feel like they’ll be a dance heavy group, and imagining the Pledis girls doing early Britney Spears moves in costumes that look like they're straight out of Cher Horowitz’s closet is everything to me tbh…

Just curious, what type of concept do you see the Pledis girls debuting with? Once upon a time I was hoping that they would do an all out cheerleading concept, reminiscent of After School's drumline concept with Bang!, but have had second thoughts since then. Now, I secretly want an Oops!...I Did It Again/Clueless-like concept, but know that that probably won't coincide with the general public of Korea will want. Like at all.

Just watched the subbed episode - I had been so worried about the controversy and THAT was what Siyeon was getting criticized and negative comments for??? Really?!?! Maybe I just have a different mind set than others, (as someone stated before she is the youngest so maybe that where the problem is?) but I didn't really see a big enough issue to call her names for. I agreed with most of the comments that she put forth, but the tired and agitated looks edited together didn't help her case. Really wondering how Siyeon's arrangement would have worked out, and if I would have liked it better than the actual stage - probably.

Pretty much this. I'm waiting to see where the girls place in the rankings at the next elimination to determine how my votes are going to go tbh. I'm hoping that all seven can make it to the top 35 because that would be great for their overall image, but once the next voting cycle begins the heat is on between fandoms. It's going to be very hard to get multiple girls into the top spots, and it's going to be even harder to KEEP them there. The already high ranking girls have a better shot at this objectively. By all means, show support to your favorite girl if you want to but if you don't have a specific bias (or are just willing to forward your vote) I would also suggest to focus attention on Pinky and Nayeong (and possibly Eunwoo after her last performance? will have to wait and see). I feel like these girls are often a part of people's top 11, but I'm not sure where people's loyalties are when it's down to 1 vote. I don't know how much support these girls have individually and the loss of votes could cost them in the end. Having 2/3 Pledis girls active for half a year in a popular group before their official debut would be IMMENSE for the exposure of the entire group. Although I'll still be a little heartbroken for my girls who don't make it ♡

Wow, what a beautiful cover song! Pledis girls, fighting!

Always ♡

To be honest, some of these suggestions are just tragic... Hopefully a few solid candidates make it through to the final round of voting. For the moment, my support is behind Serenity. It’s a little understated (which is honestly a good thing in the world of ridiculous fanclub names) and the justifications some have given for it are really quite sweet! Seventeen and their Serenities ♡
