  1. This thread is so slow so I'm posting this here (only Sakura is IZ*ONE here but I don't care)

     

    Noe with her "Gyuri's face is my type so that's why we are close" had me cracked up

     

    And a good insight how harsh the training was for them esp Japanese trainees 

     

    I think this was using auto-google translate....  

     

    but here some other shorter clips I ran across....

  2. there's another person in Sakura's love triangle! "Matsuoka Hana" Hanachan said she loves Sakura many times already,.

    and she confessed her love for Sakura yet again on her recent showroom live,.

     

    Mentaiko vs Lee Chaeyeon vs Hanachan, for Sakura TT,.love is just too much to handle,

    lol, one in each port....

  3. Subscribe to their v-app channel https://channels.vlive.tv/C1B7AF

    Lol between the time I clicked on the link it was already around 640 followers, when i signed onto my vLive, searched and then accessed to follow, it was up at 2,777... i am follower 2,778.... lol

    I did search for it a few says ago, but it wasn’t up then...

    Shouldn't the most successful girl be Chungha?  And she's doing it on her own... I thought part of the reason (g)i-dle is doing well was that people didn't think Soyeon overshadowed the other members of the group when they debuted, so the group as a whole is doing well.

     

    Personally, I think I prefer Soyeon as a composer... I liked Hann a lot but thought it would be better without rapping, and it's not like she's bad at it. XD;

     

     

     

     

    I would say that Chungha is the most successful girl out IOI but for g(i)-dle with Soyeon as leader to have won 4 shows with Latata and a now win with Hann....  4 months into their debut...  it could be debatable...  but I think that with the same length of time that Chungha has been promoting for, I would not be unsurprised if Soyeon soon outpaces any of the S1 girls....  time will tell...   btw, some of their other songs in their debut album were no slouches either...

     

    To your point about Soyeon not overshadowing the other girls, I agree, Soyeon's exposure on Unpretty Rapster helped immensely and in one sense softened the Produce 101 image and allowed it to morph into something different but the reality imo is that each of the each of the other members have different stories and feels to them...  Miyeon from YG and nearly a BP member to Minnie and a favourite after Soyeon... Yuqi....     but it all comes down to the song and concept doesn't it..

     

    CLC is all over the place imo, similar to DIA....    but some of their recent songs... were great...    

     

     

  5. Since PD48 started I think there have been a lot of intrepid translators who aren't used to having their stuff yoinked for copyright infractions who are putting up pure 48G stuff labeled as "Produce48" because there were PD48 contestants in there.  I kept getting their videos recommended to me on youtube.  Maybe they'll persist.

     

     

    I started out watching Sixteen, but then at one point it seemed like the most consistent translator was putting the actual show off in a quarter of the screen so the video wouldn't be exactly the same as the broadcast and it wouldn't get taken down from youtube or something, so that was a turnoff....  I don't know if it got better subs later, though I'd hope so.  Maybe I'll rewatch it some time.  Especially if other ppl are interested in doing a synchronized watch?  I get through shows better with moral support. XD

     

     

     

    Hey Leip....  been awhile...  welcome to IZ*ONE....  or have you been browsing other threads...   I started watching the first episode soon after PD101 S1 but it became apparent I had been spoilt by MNet and their evil stories and cuts...  Loved the final group of MixNine girls and Unit-T....   didn't like the hybrid girls/boys set up and nor did I like the YG promotional messiah style of MixNine...  I was there basically for Lee Soomin...   Sad that she and Park Soyeon are now in limbo somewhere... unless they're training with another agency for a block buster debut with another group....

     

    But IZ*ONE is going to be great...  I suspect that we'll get all the saltiness that comes when they debut.... concept isn't right, girls are over-worked, agency isn't doing things properly, song is plain S**T...   Anyhow, my first goal for them.... win more shows than IOI...  get lots of CF endorsements in both K and J, get on a lot of variety shows...   need I go on...  lol

  6. Eng sub is difficult, but Korean fans translate. You can do the automatic translation by youtube.

     

     

    how does one do that?  some google translation is at least better then watching and having nothing to read and the words simply going over one's head....  save for words like 'Produce 48' or the names of the more recognisable girls...

     

    clicking 'cc' usually generates localised stuff...

  7. I think the whole Pristin thing isn't just a Pledis-related thing though. Like, every post-IOI group has been flopping so it doesn't make sense for their companies to invest in the groups when only the IOI girls are the ones making money. Hence why Pristin V happened and now Kyulkyung is going solo, Ogugu and Semina tried to happen, Sejeong has been prospering with her solo activities, Doyeon, etc.. It's less expensive to invest in the entire group compared to a subunit with the IOI members or just one of the IOI members. 

     

    Chalk it up to these companies burying all of the hype the girls had by putting them in large groups rather than just debuting them as a soloist (see why Chungha is successful), duos, trios, or small group sizes

     

    I don't think it's quite that bad for IZ*ONE unless Aki has zero say in things....  I would not be surprised that IZ*ONE pulls some amazing numbers somewhere down the road...

     

    And the funny thing I would say is that at this point in time, likely the most successful PD101 S1 trainee is the girl that didn't make the final line-up...  and whose group will be also likely be front runners for Rookie Group of the year...   Jeon Soyeon...  but that's an opinion...

     

    So it can be done, all it just needs is good music, visuals with each attracting a different niche...
