    I don’t think Kim Do Ah would make it. If she had it in her, she would have debuted with IZ*ONE. I believe all the semi-known ex-idol trainees are used to hype the show at the beginning and then dropped later. 

    My thoughts too, won’t come close unfortunately….  She doesn’t come in with a strong recognition base like Somi did or even Yujin but ultimately, air-time and Mnet edits also play a huge role…. Like it or not….   Will be interesting to see if a Maknae again makes into the final group (Somi/Wonyoung/Yujin) or an underdog (Sohye/Minju/Hyewon)…

  2. After a long hiatus, back in PD48…. Back now planet 999…

    Somewhat surprised that there are only 10 pages of posts to-date…. Anyhow, back for the 3rd time of this project group series…

    Quick thoughts:

    1.  Talent quality / performances made my jaw drop & we haven’t seen them all…. 

    2.  Too many to stan and we’re only on episode 1, wonder who the dark horse will be…. 

    3.  With only 9 debuting, there’ll only be max 3-4 spots from C&J groups imo….

    4.  Format seems unchanged save for how the girls will be eliminated…

    5.  Will Kim Doah make it to the final 9…

    6.  Let the fun begin…

    Oh by the way, expect the roller coaster, m-net edits, salty posts…  


     

  3. I completely agree with you. I think that some people are also mad that their favorite on produce 48 didn't make it into the line-up and target Wonyoung because she is the center and popular among Koreans and Japanese fans.

    She is so young and the hate WILL hurt her and WILL affect her. These people posting hate don't even seem to care about this and it really upsets me.

    I think the support of the other members will help and I suspect Sakura will help the most in so far as she’s been in the game for the longest and has the most experience dealing with antis...

    I do think that Lee Seung-gi helped them a lot during the show, their thanks and that short clip of him basically saying that these comments should not define who you are and the path you take...

  4. I am not sure how this picture was missed...

    if this is Soomin's new look.... wow...  she's taking a page out of Mina & Yeonjung's diet book... just trust that she stays healthy and is fast recovering from the December accident...   if not fully healed...  also hope that the Fave drama hasn't hurt her confidence...  such a huge pity that she wasn't on Produce 48...   but having said that...  I love the final line-up and I would hesitate to decide who to leave out....  just saying...

     

    Soomin, Fighting!

  5. Here is the full subbed version of the recent ANN hosted by Sakura and guests, Mihi, Noe, Muyi and Chiyori

     

    With the sub-titles, it makes for even better watching....

     

    Things I picked up... 

     

    -  Noe is even prettier then what little air-time she had on PD48

    -  Always wondered why Chaeyeon came to Sakura's mind vs thanking her parents...  she answers that question

    -  Miho is clearly the senior and has that gravitas demeanour...

    -  Clearly PD48 has brought the trainees closer together and it shows...

    -  Sakura is a pro at all of this...  it was very tempting in the first episode of PD48 to write off most the J-Idols but based on this ANN episode and the whole host of other AKB-related shows, these girls clearly have huge loads of entertainment experience...  which was briefly alluded to in episode 1 when the J-girls were talking about the differences...

    -  I would even say that if they did a PD48 version in Japan, that we very well could have seen the IZ*ONE make-up be quite different to the current line-up...

    -  I would love for there to another ANN program hosting some of the other PD48 J-Idols....

  6. Shitao Miu had 226 Tower gifts in 50 minutes of Showroom. Each Tower costs 10k yen which means her fans gave her 20,000 USD worth of towers.

     

    That sort of numbers are rarely seen nowadays in AKB recent history.

     

    Being in PD48 has really brought up Miu's popularity. Long may it continue.

    EDIT :

     

    So apparently, Shitao Miu just set a record in the history of Showroom for the most number of Towers received EVER.

    Yes that is very surprising...  unfortunately with no auto-translate...  I'm one of those showroom bystanders on the side watching and surfing other rooms for trainees I now recognise....  I must admit that the showroom is one of my daily stops now...  and it would appear that akb and other j-idols do basically a daily show...  unlike k-trainees I assume who are not allowed much public exposure except through their agencies...

  7. Where j girls are going to stop their akb activities?

     

    I suspect that they have started winding down their akb activities ahead of their debut end-Oct, they will need several weeks at least for practicing for their debut and any RL shows...  they will do OT12 of at least the final 3 songs if they go according to S1 history....

  8. HOW Girls....  WANGE KE, MINYOUNG, MINSEO

     

     

     

    Cr M Rizki gave part translation:

     

    In position evaluation 'Dont you know' that time me and hyewon unnie got rap position but the broadcast showing its like only me making the rap for both of us when the truth actually its really hard for both of us and we helping each other making our lyrics. Also people look at us as we are competing like rival with each other but we actually never thought like that and we practice together while helping each other is also not broadcasted so that kind of thing is really unfortunate..
  9. Yeah, we know things are very slow when we are re-posting old stuff...  ah well... one can only hope that the wait will be worth it...

     

    But here are some fan cams of of the final line-up announcements that we didn't really get to see in full...

     

    So enjoy...
